Big City Indians

	The Lakota radio station KILI

The Lakota (Sioux) radio station KILI (which means "super" in Lakota) near Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is an Indian non- profit organization. It covers an area of approx. 80.000 km2 including all Lakota Reservations in South Dakota. A radio station fits very well into the oral Lakota tradition. KILI is also a communication center, especially in cases of emergencies. Many Lakota households are too poor to afford a phone, but most of them do have a radio.
Most DJs and speakers of KILI are bilingual (Lakota and English). One of the explicit goals of KILI is to keep the Lakota language alive. Young Lakota consider it prestigious to work at KILI and therefore are interested in the language. Therefore the BIG CITY INDIANS have set themselves a target - one EU to radio KILI for each "Uncle Peyote" CD sold, so that a nation can keep their voice!

Mit dem Kauf des Debütalbums der "BIG CITY INDIANS " Uncle Peyote" unterstützen Sie das Projekt KILI Radio (Pine Ridge Reservation / South Dakota) in der Nähe von Wounded Knee.

Die Stimme der Lakota (Sioux). Gleichzeitig ein wichtiges Kommunikationszentrum. Denn viele Haushalte dieser Region besitzen immer noch kein Telefon. KILI ist auch ein hörbares Zeichen der Identität.

Die an Bedeutung verlierende Sprache der Lakota wird hier gepflegt, ebenso ihre Kultur. Doch das Geld ist knapp in der ärmlichen Pine Ridge Reservation. Deshalb setzen die BIG CITY INDIANS ein Zeichen. 1EURO für jede verkaufte "Uncle Peyote" CD fließen an Radio KILI. Damit eine Nation ihre Stimme behält.
