Cook, of Akwesasne, was the late night host of &quot;Jazz Waves&quot; in the 1980s and early 1990s.Cook also educated listeners - and producers at this radio station - about native political and cultural issues with his series, &quot;You Are On Indian Land&quot;. Cook is remembered here at the station as full of life and was known as a wild guy.His cousin, Ray Cook, who is now Op/Ed editor at Indian Country Today Media Network, says he owes his career in media to Louie Cook. He describes Cook as a natural teacher. &quot;He was an artist in the traditional form,&quot; says Ray Cook. &quot;He believed in the power of music and how it can soothe the soul and he always treasured the stories that he recorded and the people he talked to when he was in the production mode.&quot;Louis T.K. Cook died Monday from injuries he suffered in a car crash last week on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. He had been working with a not-for-profit there that helps families on the reservation build and maintain gardens.
