‘Spirit Ranger’s’ musical maestro

Coming up, we’ll meet the Native composer behind the ‘Spirit Rangers’ theme song. Plus an Indigenous poet calls his new book “a love letter” to the protests at Standing Rock. And RSV, COVID-19 and the flu are causing concern at children’s hospitals

Perhaps you have, or know, children who are fans of the Netflix series, “Spirit Rangers.” This animated program is about Kody, Summer and Eddy, three Indigenous siblings who have secret powers they use to protect the national forest where they live. And scoring the music is Raye Zaragoza. She joins us to talk about her work on the series.

Oglala Lakota citizen Mark Tilsen is a poet and educator from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. His latest book of poetry is a snapshot of his time at the Standing Rock NO DAPL protests. Tilsen spoke to ICT senior producer Vincent Moniz about what you’ll find in this collection.

This fall season is being hit with a triple-threat of diseases. And children’s hospitals are reporting more and more cases of these illnesses. Dean Seneca is here to give break it all down. He is the founder and CEO of Seneca Scientific Solutions and recently served as director of the Great Lakes Inter-tribal Epidemiology Center.
