FEMALE:

Hello.

　

MARTIN:

Hello. Is this the Native American Cultural Arts Council?

　

FEMALE:

Yes, it is. How can I help you?

　

MARTIN:

This is Martin Learner. I'm a reporter for the Voice of America. I'm interested in powwows. Can you answer some questions?

　

FEMALE:

I'll try.

　

MARTIN:

Where are powwows held?

　

FEMALE:

Really, all over the country. Of course they're held mostly near where Indians live.

　

MARTIN:

Do you say Indians?

　

FEMALE:

Or what?

　

MARTIN:

Native Americans.

　

FEMALE:

Oh, I understand. A lot of people prefer the term Native American. I don't mind Indian. It depends on your attitude.

　

MARTIN:

I have a good attitude.

　

FEMALE:

That's good.

　

MARTIN:

Can anyone attend a powwow?

　

FEMALE:

Most of them. They are to share information. They're educational.

I want to attend one or two. Is that possible?

　

FEMALE:

Where are you?

I'm in Washington, DC.

Could you go to the West or Southwest?

Yes, I could.

What is your telephone number?

　

　

　

　

FEMALE 2:

Martin, may I interrupt?

　

MARTIN:

Of course, come in. I'm waiting for a phone call.

　

FEMALE 2:

Did you find out about powwows?

　

MARTIN:

That's what the phone call is about. I reached the Native American Cultural Arts Council.

　

FEMALE 2:

Could they help you?

　

MARTIN:

I think so. They are looking at the calendar.

　

FEMALE 2:

Is there anything I can do?

　

MARTIN:

Not now. Perhaps later. Maybe we could talk after my phone call. I would like your ideas about the story.

OK. I could meet after three o'clock.

Thanks.
