Wondering what Native Americans think of Johnny Depp playing Tonto in a new film? Well, surf to Native America Calling’s online former broadcasts and find out.

There’s an online archive list and summary of several years of broadcasts covering everything from healthcare to water rights to “matchmaking.” Oh yes, there is more talk radio in America than the usual media attention beasts bellowing on the sound waves. The discussions on Native America Calling are lively, smart, informative and enjoyable. Harlan McKosato is the show’s host and producer.

On Monday, February 7, 2011 the topic will be the “State of Indian Education.” Having blogged my thoughts about the general state of education in America, I’m very interested in hearing this particular broadcast.

I believe I’ve heard that Johnny Depp is an actor who really tries to become the role he plays. But doesn’t he have Native American blood in him? I am surprised that he has not already tried to learn about his heritage before this role came up. I wish they would have made this movie some years back when Graham Greene could have played the part.

Hello Jmjbookblog. Well, it’s a rather odd thing for this movie based on this old television series. Not much real heritage reflected in the old series. I’m very curious just how they intend to present this for modern audiences. Much potential for both humor –and criticism. Hence the satirical take on NAC’s show.
