Quiltman and Govinda have been setting up the online, solar-powered radio station. The local team at Radio Free Simnasho in Warm Springs will be working on a play list and schedule this month.

SIMNASHO, Warm Springs Indian Nation -- Radio Free Simnasho launched today, bringing grassroots voices online, and honoring the American Indian Movement. 

Quiltman said the Columbia River water is being used by corporations, and the water is becoming too warm for the salmon. Electricity from the huge data centers are making the water too warm for the salmon.

Quiltman said that when the salmon were harvested, the fishermen's hands were glowing green. He described how dams are damaging the flow of salmon.

Welcoming listeners, Quiltman and Govinda shared the sounds of John Trudell this morning.  They'll be working on the solar panels to power the grassroots radio station.
