Memorial Tributes for John Trudell
"John Trudell and his family ask for people to celebrate love and celebrate life. He asked that people pray and celebrate in their own way in their own communities."

Reflecting on the loss of our ancestors is part of the role of community broadcasting. With heavy hearts and an appreciation for all he has given us, many KBOO DJs hosted memorial programs for John Trudell, who died Dec 8th from cancer. He was 69. Trudell asked for us to celebrate in our own ways, and here are the links to tributes, speeches, and Artist Focus shows.

In Memory of John Trudell
When John Trudell died on Dec 8, 2015, many were at a loss how to explain in a few words what he meant to them: Santee Sioux poet, philosopher, musician and warior came to mind and the commercial media added roles in films, and the films made about him.
