About the Show


InnerTribal Beat is a locally produced Native radio show in Spokane, WA on KYRS “Your Radio Station” or we like to say “K ReZ” on 88.1 & 92.3 FM. InnerTribal Beat will begin to fill the gap of the Native American perspective in the Spokane region. We cover issues important to the regional Tribes with a focus on Tribal environmental news and expose listeners to all different genres of Native music from reggae to hip hop to traditional and everything in between.

Thin Air Community Radio serves the Spokane area with progressive perspectives, filling needs that other media do not, providing programming to diverse communities and unserved or underserved groups. Thin Air Radio provides a forum for neglected perspectives and discussions on important local, national and global issues, reflecting values of peace, social, economic and environmental justice, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, freedom of expression and social change. Thin Air’s arts, cultural, and music programming covers a wide spectrum of expression from traditional to experimental and reflects the diverse cultures Thin Air serves. Thin Air Radio strives for spontaneity and program excellence, both in content and technique.

"Still Dancing" by Jon Labillois

“Still Dancing” by Jon Labillois, created to bring awareness to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Canada.

The original painting is very large, 4ftx5ft and was created with Acrylic and mixed media on canvas.  You can order prints or see more of the artists work at www.jonlabillois.com

“I decided to donate this to the Montreal Native Women’s Shelter to raise awareness of Missing and Murdered Women in Canada. I hoped sharing it with others would bring this issue to minds of many people, and hope that none of our sisters, mothers, aunts or daughters will ever be forgotten.” –Jon Labillois
