This podcast is the first in a series about important issues having to do with the Salt River. The topic of this episode is the O'odham-Piipaash Language Program at the Cultural Resources Department of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. It is an effort to preserve the community's native languages and teach members how to speak them.

Stories of River Podcast Ep. 1: O'odham-Piipaash Language Program

For my podcast I interviewed Doran Dalton, the Assistant Community Manger of the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, about how COVID-19 has affected the community. The Community was affected socially, emotionally and economically. They faced problems similar to how many other cities and countries were affected such as issuing mask mandates and facing issues doing remote learning. I hope you enjoy my interview with Doran Dalton about COVID-19. Credits: Music: "Straight" www.bensound.com available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
