Peggy Berryhill (Muscogee Creek) is a producer of public radio about contemporary Native America for national audiences, including the California Indians Radio Project, a 13-part radio series. Her most recent project is a one-hour comedy show Club Red, being performed live at the festival on Sunday. Community history was a theme Berryhill noted among a surprising number of works she viewed for festival selection, and she reflects, "The stories are not going to be told if we don't tell them, whether it's radio ...video...the Internet. Nobody else can tell our stories from our perspective, and that's been the wonderful thing about the video revolution."
