Although the show is leaving the airwaves (the last episode will be Sunday, July 6), Tiokasin wants listeners and supporters to know that he isn't "retiring."

Frequent guest, longtime supporter and friend of "First Voices Radio" Steven Newcomb (Shawnee/Lenape) has been researching the history of U.S. federal Indian law and policy for four decades. Steve is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and the influence of the Vatican papal decrees of the fifteenth century on U.S. law and has published several law review articles on the subject. His book "Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery" (Fulcrum, 2008), is the basis for "The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code," a documentary movie directed by Sheldon Wolfchild (Dakota). Originalfreenations.com and Indigenous Law Institute are two websites where some of his work can found. He can be contacted at stv4newcomb@yahoo.com or info@originalfreenations.com. Steve also publishes on Substack at The Domination Chronicles.

Tiokasin talks about the upcoming book, "Earth Mind" which he is co-authoring with Robert Toth and Dr. John Briggs. Tiokasin says: "In writing this book we have made every effort to respect our readers by not telling them what actions to take if they agree with us on the importance of holocentric consciousness to life on Earth. Here, we propose no new ideology, philosophy or religion - no "to do" list of steps in order to establish a new Earth Mind-centered culture and fix the problems created by modern humans' aggressively anthropocentric approach to pretty much everything. We think that proposing "solutions" will only lead people back into more anthropocentric thinking, falling into the trap of trying to fix the harm created by that thinking by applying more of it. Proposing solutions is comforting but it hasn't worked very well. We need to go deeper."

Rakel is 40 years old and was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit in northeastern Greenland. When she was 4 years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up she always heard the stories about how they came from a shamanic family, and she always asked deep questions to what it meant for their descendants. In 2012, she started her journey to actually learn about how her ancestors lived and saw the universe as a whole. She left society and went into nature and learned what nature, Silap aappaa (the other worlds) had to teach us. In 2019, she received her healer name, which is Rakel, and was accepted into the ancient lineage as an angakoq. Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

We are rebroadcasting the interview with Geraldine Patrick Encina from February 23 of this year:

"The 13 year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar," says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples' cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with Ross Hamilton in the first half-hour. Ross is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island.
 
In the second half-hour, Dr. Paulette Steeves, Ph.D. (Cree-Métis) is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Dr. Steeves argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Dr. Steeves has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University. She is an associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. She is the author of "The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas," published in July 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press. Dr. Steeves has said that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation, transforming public consciousness, and confronting and challenging racism.

Ross is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island.

“The 130-year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar,” says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples’ cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.

Returning guest Jonathan Gonzales was born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and grew up in southern California. He has spent the last 12 years learning earth living skills and ancestral ceremonial ways with many teachers and elders, combined with participating in Indigenous, earth-based ceremonies along with a quest to connect more deeply with his ancestral lineage, which is Indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico, Chinanteco from Mexico, and African. "Among other related topics, we discuss cults, culture and civilization and the differences and how different cultures are treated by cults and civilization," Tiokasin says.

Alnoor talks about various possibilities involving the changes it will take for humankind in the Anthropocene.

They talk about the film and what's wrong with it for multiple cultural, spiritual and political reasons, and the way Disney and Hollywood continue to exploit Indigenous peoples and their cultures and profit from it. Keala is a Kānaka Maoli award-winning documentary filmmaker, journalist, podcaster, writer and activist living on Hawai'i Island. Her works address the critical links between cultural, environmental and spiritual survival in the movement for Hawaiian self-determination, and Indigenous peoples' struggles for territorial and political autonomy. She is an outspoken advocate for Indigenous self-representation in mass media. Keala is the author of "Our Rights to Self-Determination: A Hawaiian Manifesto," which was published in 2022. For more information about Keala and her work, visit annekealakelly.com. For background: Keala published this 2016 column, "The Unflattering Cultural Poaching of 'Moana' is a Threat" about the first Moana film and everything she wrote back then still rings true today: https://bit.ly/402Mp0a

Paul was born on the Navajo Nation in Arizona in 1950 near Pinon. His life began not without a struggle. He almost succumbed to life threatening illness but survived to become a one of the last of his generation to experience life that others only dream of. Upon finishing high school and attending one year at a university, he decided that what he had to learn was not indoors and set out what would be a life of roaming free throughout North America and internationally, working as a ranch hand, construction carpenter, steel worker, fire fighter, and other jobs that would eventually play an instrumental role in contributing to his vast knowledge. Paul has a deep affinity for horses, which has been the driving force of his life, derived from his cultural tradition. In addition to growing up on horses' and working ranches, he has been a rodeo bronc rider, trainer, wild horses' gatherer, veterinarian helper and rodeo judge. He is also a reputed Native drum maker, offering his premier native drums through his company, Tohlakai Drums, which received numerous endorsements by top Native singers and drummers throughout Turtle Island. He has also led efforts to mobilize and bring to his community international people to gain intercultural experiences with tourism and sustainable practices. Paul makes his home now in Phoenix, Arizona, and also travels extensively as a lecturer on Native philosophy. As a respected Native elder throughout the world, his life continues to involve all who seek to empower their own spiritual growth through learning about being a human being again.

]]> Wed, 01 Jan 2025 15:54:26 +0000 Tiokasin Ghosthorse Tiokasin Ghosthorse 3345 "First Voices Radio" is honored to welcome Paul Crane Tohlakai to the show. Paul was born on the Navajo Nation in Arizona in 1950 near Pinon. His life began not without a struggle. He almost succumbed to life threatening illness but survived to become a one of the last of his generation to experience life that others only dream of. Upon finishing high school and attending one year at a university, he decided that what he had to learn was not indoors and set out what would be a life of roaming free throughout North America and internationally, working as a ranch hand, construction carpenter, steel worker, fire fighter, and other jobs that would eventually play an instrumental role in contributing to his vast knowledge. Paul has a deep affinity for horses, which has been the driving force of his life, derived from his cultural tradition. In addition to growing up on horses' and working ranches, he has been a rodeo bronc rider, trainer, wild horses' gatherer, veterinarian helper and rodeo judge. He is also a reputed Native drum maker, offering his premier native drums through his company, Tohlakai Drums, which received numerous endorsements by top Native singers and drummers throughout Turtle Island. He has also led efforts to mobilize and bring to his community international people to gain intercultural experiences with tourism and sustainable practices. Paul makes his home now in Phoenix, Arizona, and also travels extensively as a lecturer on Native philosophy. As a respected Native elder throughout the world, his life continues to involve all who seek to empower their own spiritual growth through learning about being a human being again.

Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands. Rocky Mountain PBS has produced a fine documentary in which Dr. Tinker is featured. The documentary has won a regional Emmy award (a Heartland Emmy): A new chapter: Coming to terms with a gruesome legacy (rmpbs.org)

John (1946-2015) was a poet, a fighter for Native American rights, an agitator, and many other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suits him he would have refused to be pinned down. "Actually I don't consider myself to be any of those things. They're things that I do…but they're parts of me. They're not the total." Indeed, Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished during his 69 years, a time when he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes.

More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.

In the second half, Tiokasin featured the audio from a film, "Consciousness: Ultimate Truth, Our Purpose on Earth." Tiokasin is the featured narrator. Firemaker and keeper is Johnathan Gonzales (Tuxtipec-Taino from Mexico is featured in the film). Filming by Michael Raimondo; Editing by Justine du Toit; Sound mix by Tamryn Breakey. This film is part of a series collaboration between three independent filmmakers, "Reflections of Life, Campfire Stories and Happen Films." These films explore how small acts of love and kindness have the potential to ripple out and change the world, touching hearts and minds in ways that we could never begin to imagine.

Tiokasin and Ukumbwa discuss questions that Ukumbwa recently raised in a 5-minute YouTube video titled “Radical Compassion.” One of these questions: How does European colonialism, racism and patriarchy break down grounded connection between families, friends, communities, nations and ultimately between the internal sum of our own parts, our facets of humanity inside of any of us?” They reflect on the limitations of seeking freedom and liberation within the prescribed frameworks of human rights and civil rights and explore alternative conceptions of freedom.

She developed the transgenerational trauma recovery model Somatic Archaeology© and is the author of "My Body, My Earth," "The Practice of Somatic Archaeology," and "My Body, My Breath, A Tool for Transformation," which are available in English, Romanian and Spanish.

Using our Body and Mother Earth as benevolent sources of biological, emotional and ancestral memory, Dr. Ruby's techniques are being field tested among clients and students with amazing effectiveness. She is honored to witness the courage and amazing capacity that each person has to reconcile suffering. As the mother of four beautiful children, one granddaughter, and two grandsons, Dr. Ruby has a heart full of hope for the next seven generations!

Edzi’u is an innovative songwriter and composer who paints stories of the past, present and future with textures, elders’ stories, words, and their ethereal voice. Edzi’u is the gentlest balance of hard and soft, a non-binary 2-spirit Indigiqueer femme, their strength of identity resonates in their music to create a fullness of fierce spirit combined with an elegant grace. Their new music is full of thick synths, drums dripping with reverb and a mix of a modern take on 80s and 90s sounds that blends the nostalgic essence of Stevie Nicks, the raw emotional depth of Sharon Van Etten, and the atmospheric electronic textures of DRAMA. The result is a sonic river of pain and beauty that sweetly soars into a singular, healing journey.

Tiokasin talks with Edzi’u about their new EP, “Tunnel Vision,” a poignant exploration of the cruelty of heartbreak, the painful truth of mistreatment, and the radiant journey of resurgence. With vulnerability and fortitude, each track lingers with the listener like a cherished memory. Edzi’u invites listeners into an auditory sanctuary where music serves as both refuge and revelation. In this sacred space, reclamation of self stands as the most powerful act of all. Edzi’u and their artistry is a beacon of auntie joy for queer and Indigenous communities and beyond, embodying resilience, grace, and unapologetic authenticity.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talked with Rick Hill Sr., a citizen of the Beaver Clan of the Tuscarora Nation of the Haudenosaunee at Grand River. Rick holds a Master’s Degree in American Studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is the former Assistant Director for Public Programs, National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution; Museum Director, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, NM; and Assistant Professor, Native American Studies, SUNY Buffalo. He formerly served as Senior Project Coordinator of the Deyohahá:ge: Indigenous Knowledge Centre at Six Nations Polytechnic Institute, Ohsweken, Ontario. Rick is an interpretive specialist to develop exhibitions for the recently renovated Mohawk Institute, the oldest Indian residential school in Canada. He is the Indigenous Innovation Specialist at Mohawk College in Hamilton and serves as a Cultural Advisor to FNTI in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Tiokasin and Rick talk about the changes the U.S. Constitution and its state at the time and the original intention and lived experience of the Haudenosaunee Confederation. Their conversation, although it took place a number of years ago is still extremely relevant to today. “Right now, this country is in a state of change and what I believe were sacred to the leaders, the founding [colonial] fathers were these ideals and the laws that they did to come up with a partnership with the Native nations, is being ignored by this current generation of Americans. I think that we have to look back at that these were seriously sacred promises, legal promises made, and if you abuse the First People of the land, how do you really expect your great-grandchildren to grow up and be able to celebrate democracy that you herald? It’s really about justice. I always say the Indians are the miners canary of American justice. How America treats the Native people, it’s going to symbolic of what is forthcoming as to how they’re going to treat the rest of the people.” — Rick Hill

]]> indigenous, first voices, native american, Indigenous artists No 08/25/24 - Marley Shebala 203 203 08/25/24 - Marley Shebala full b44cb793-9621-455c-808a-e25c244401bf https://share.transistor.fm/s/33f2001d Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes Marley Shebala back to the show. Marley Shebala, Diné and A:shiwi (or Zuni), is an investigative journalist, photographer, videographer and blogger. Marley talks about the continuing, alarming issue of transporting uranium waste across portions of the Navajo Nation, which already started several years ago. Without any notice, the transportation of uranium waste is taking place not only at Navajo Nation but also Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. This affects not only the Navajo Nation but also Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada so communities need to find out where this transportation route goes. If the sovereign Navajo Nation is not being notified about this route it’s unlikely other communities (cities, towns and rural areas) are being notified about the transport of this waste through their communities and its dangers. People need to be aware of how uranium waste could contaminate people, roads, air, water, etc. (virtually everything). For years Marley has been covering the uranium issue on the 25,000 square-mile Navajo Nation. Most of the Navajo Nation has been contaminated by uranium. Many, may Navajo people have been suffering and continue to suffering from different cancers, children were and continue to be born with defects, etc. However, the US federal government thinks that depleted uranium can still be used: for weapons of war and by somehow turning uranium waste into a type of fuel that will be “clean” nuclear energy for household uses. This is a huge national, and global issue. There is a small group of Diné people traveling to DC at the end of September. They will be traveling in a bus and telling people along the way what they have gone through and asking others if they have also been poisoned and made sick by depleted uranium, too.

For more background about today’s discussion, please visit “Requiem for RECA (Radiation Exposure Compensation Act)” by Kathy Helms, who has been covering this issue for years: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/requiem-reca-kathy-helms-ohuvc/. Follow Marley on Facebook, where she will be posting information about the DC trip and the activities that will happen there (as well as covering Navajo Nation activities): https://www.facebook.com/marley.shebala. Additional important information about this issue and many others can be found on Marley’s website: http://www.dineresourcesandinfocenter.org/

About Marley: In the Diné way, Marley Shebala is Tó'aheedlíinii (Water Flows Together clan), her mother’s clan, and born for Cha’al (Frog clan), which is her father’s clan. Her mom is from Lake Valley, New Mexico, which is in the eastern part of the Navajo Nation and next to Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Her father is from the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico. Her hometowns are Lake Valley and Zuni. “Marley Shebala's Notebook” is her website where she provides current news coverage of the Navajo government and Navajo communities on and off the Navajo Nation. She also produces Navajo Nation environmental news and political analysis of the Navajo government and legislative process. Marley hosted "Politics on the Navajo Nation," an internet news show. But due to unreliable WIFI on the Navajo Nation where she resides, the weekly news show was cancelled until she can raise funds to increase WiFi power at her residence. She is available for presentations on the benefits of a free and open press in Indian Country and how to achieve accurate and fair news coverage of the Navajo Nation and Indian Country. Marley works part-time at the Gallup Independent newspaper, which is headquartered in Gallup, New Mexico. She is the only reporter at the Gallup Independent Diné Bureau in Window Rock, Arizona, which covers the Navajo Nation. Before working for the Gallup Independent, she worked as the Navajo Times newspaper’s’ Senior Reporter specializing in investigative reporting on politics, domestic violence, law enforcement, veterans and the environment. She also covered a wide range of general interest stories. Her stories have won numerous awards from state and national organizations over the more than 30 years she has been in journalism.

Keala and Dan spend time talking about American exploitation via tiki bars, a subject that Dan explored in his film, “100 Tikis.” “100 Tikis” is a 45-minute film/video appropriation art piece, part of an ongoing installation of works on the intersection of tiki kitsch and indigenous sovereignty. “100 Tikis” looks at Hollywood, colonialism, gender, militarism, and activism, through films, cartoons, songs, paintings, photographs, television shows, tourist ads, military propaganda, pornography, tiki bars, activist videos, home movies, and social media.

Dan’s artist book “The Healer's Wound: A Queer Theirstory of Polynesia” (2022) was published by Pu'uhonua Society and Tropic Editions of Honolulu for HT22 the Hawai'i Triennial. Their artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Metropolitan Museum, De Young Museum, Musée du quai Branly, Auckland Art Gallery and Bishop Museum. Their film “Sinalela” (2001) won the 2002 Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival Best Short Film Award. “100 Tikis” was the opening night film selection of the 2016 Présence Autochtone in Montreal and was an Official Selection in the Fifo Tahiti Film Festival. Dan's art studio and writing practice is based in Muhheaconneock lands / Hudson, NY, where they live with their partner, and Lenape lands in Hopoghan Hackingh / Hoboken, NJ.

]]> Guest Host Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli) speaks with Dan Taulapapa McMullin — an artist and poet from Sāmoa i Sasa'e (American Samoa) and an expert on the subject of the colonization of Pacific cultures. Keala and Dan spend time talking about American exploitation via tiki bars, a subject that Dan explored in his film, “100 Tikis.” “100 Tikis” is a 45-minute film/video appropriation art piece, part of an ongoing installation of works on the intersection of tiki kitsch and indigenous sovereignty. “100 Tikis” looks at Hollywood, colonialism, gender, militarism, and activism, through films, cartoons, songs, paintings, photographs, television shows, tourist ads, military propaganda, pornography, tiki bars, activist videos, home movies, and social media.

Dan’s artist book “The Healer's Wound: A Queer Theirstory of Polynesia” (2022) was published by Pu'uhonua Society and Tropic Editions of Honolulu for HT22 the Hawai'i Triennial. Their artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Metropolitan Museum, De Young Museum, Musée du quai Branly, Auckland Art Gallery and Bishop Museum. Their film “Sinalela” (2001) won the 2002 Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival Best Short Film Award. “100 Tikis” was the opening night film selection of the 2016 Présence Autochtone in Montreal and was an Official Selection in the Fifo Tahiti Film Festival. Dan's art studio and writing practice is based in Muhheaconneock lands / Hudson, NY, where they live with their partner, and Lenape lands in Hopoghan Hackingh / Hoboken, NJ.

Tiokasin speaks with Dr. Paulette Steeves (Cree-Métis). Paulette is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Paulette argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Paulette has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University, she is currently an Associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology.

Paulette has stated that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation transforming public consciousness and confronting and challenging racism. Long-standing academic denial of the deep Indigenous fosters racism and discrimination among the general or settler population.Re-writing Indigenous histories, framed through Indigenous knowledge, will create discussions that counter racism and discrimination. Dr. Steeve’s book “The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas” was published in 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press.

Hataałiinez Wheeler is a very modern kind of crooner: a pensive, deep-voiced troubadour whose serene surf-country songs tap into the hope and despondency of a new generation. The music he makes as Hataałii — a Navajo term that means “to sing,” a fitting diminutive of his given name — is at turns witty and world-weary, sunny but endearingly solipsistic.

Albert Haskie is a software developer from the Navajo Nation. He is the creator of the app Adoone’é. Serving as the lead developer in the project, Albert has strived to uphold his culture and traditions as a Navajo/Diné. It is his deep-rooted belief that everyone should have access to the resources that preserve and celebrate their Navajo/Diné heritage. Albert finds great joy in tackling Navajo/Diné language and culture preservation in the 21st century. With Adoone’é he aims to contribute to his community and empower others to do the same.

Chief Looking Horse was born on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. His primary responsibility is serving as the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe – a role he was given at the age of twelve making him the youngest pipe keeper in Lakota history. As keeper of the sacred Pipe he also serves as the spiritual leader to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation and advocates for the restoration of the Lakota Nation’s rights to the Black Hills—as guaranteed by the 1868 Laramie Treaty.

Tiokasin and Chief Arvol Looking Horse talk about the white buffalo calf that was born in Yellowstone on June 4 and the significance of this birth to not only for the Lakota but other people and what it means to the world. “We knew in our ceremonies that something was going to happen (on June 4) because they say that when you follow the spirit, the spirit will meet you halfway... This is a very powerful time. All my life, I heard this in ceremony but I never thought my whole life that this was going to happen. I feel her (Mother Earth's) spirit is very strong and we need all people all over the world to stand with us and protect her. That’s the message — when the white buffalo calf with black nose, eyes and hooves, many white animals will be born all over the world. The elders said we need to protect all the white animals being born. We need to protect the peace leaders because we’re in a very powerful time right now that every person – to find peace within yourself and then peace to the world because what is happening is not good.” — Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Dr. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel has been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path, with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples. Their discussion includes: international relationships, “Can Indigenous peoples be both Indigenous and capitalists?” (Answer: “No, because the same mentality that exploits other people and Mother Earth can only end up destroying everything…”) and an update on recent events and activities taking place in Abya Yala (South America). Manuel draws discussion points from the book, “As We’ve Always Done” by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer and artist. Finally, Manuel educates listeners about the plight of Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in solitary confinement in Turkey for over 25 years and has been cut off from the outside world. Öcalan’s writings are inspiring intellectuals, free thinkers, scientists, workers, activists, artists, trade unionists, social movements, politicians and entire societies. Öcalan left Syria 25 years ago as a Kurdish leader in the wake of an international conspiracy and returned years later as a pioneer of a free, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and grassroots democratic society.

]]> Mon, 20 May 2024 15:32:04 +0000 Tiokasin Ghosthorse Tiokasin Ghosthorse 3526 REPEAT SHOW. David Graeber and David Wengrow are the co-authors of "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021). "This is not a book. This is an intellectual feast. There is not a single chapter that does not (playfully) disrupt well-seated intellectual beliefs. It is deep, effortlessly iconoclastic, factually rigorous, and pleasurable to read." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Author, "The Black Swan."

Tiokasin talks with co-author David Wengrow, a professor of comparative archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He is a visiting professor at New York University. He is the author of three books, including, "What Makes Civilization?" David has conducted archaeological fieldwork in various parts of Africa and the Middle East.

Co-author David Graeber (d. 9/2/2020) was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. He was the author of "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" and "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory," and was a contributor to Harper’s Magazine, The Guardian and The Baffler. An iconic thinker and renowned activist, his early efforts in Zuccotti Park made Occupy Wall Street an era-defining movement.

Dr. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer.

Manuel has been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path, with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples. Their discussion includes: international relationships, “Can Indigenous peoples be both Indigenous and capitalists?” (Answer: “No, because the same mentality that exploits other people and Mother Earth can only end up destroying everything…”) and an update on recent events and activities taking place in Abya Yala (South America).

Manuel draws discussion points from the book, “As We Have Always Done” by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer and artist.

Finally, Manuel educates listeners about the plight of Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in solitary confinement in Turkey for over 25 years and has been cut off from the outside world. Öcalan’s writings are inspiring intellectuals, free thinkers, scientists, workers, activists, artists, trade unionists, social movements, politicians and entire societies. Öcalan left Syria 25 years ago as a Kurdish leader in the wake of an international conspiracy and returned years later as a pioneer of a free, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and grassroots democratic society.

A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, he has spent his career documenting the lives, accomplishments and tragedies of Native American people. Kevin holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of South Dakota and a master's in journalism from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Read Kevin’s article here: https://ictnews.org/news/navajo-word-for-beautiful-at-center-of-controversy.

In the second half-hour, Keala speaks with Shannon O’Loughlin (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), Chief Executive and Attorney at the Association on American Indian Affairs about the new rules for the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 22 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. She is a former Chief of Staff to the National Indian Gaming Commission, where she assisted in the development and implementation of national gaming policy, and oversaw the agency’s public affairs, technology, compliance and finance divisions. Shannon has also served Native Country in the private sector as an attorney, leading a large national firm’s Native Nations law practice group that worked to strengthen, maintain and protect sovereignty, self-determination and culture. Shannon was appointed by Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Sally Jewell to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Review Committee in 2013, and was appointed by President Barack Obama as the first Native American to the Cultural Property Advisory Committee within the State Department in 2015; she was fired by President Trump in 2019. Shannon received a B.A. in American Indian Studies from California State University, Long Beach and joint M.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Arizona in Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy.

He talks with Guest Host Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli) in the first half-hour about his new album “Bring It All Together” and some of the challenges he has faced and the role of music in his own life. With a blend of influences from his Cree roots and his love of alternative rock, pop and hip-hop, “Bring It All Together” is a testament to PaulStar’s musical evolution. When creating the album, he underwent an introspective journey, propelled by his passion to elevate the voices of Indigenous peoples while taking inspiration from his favorite bands. PaulStar is a graduate of Algonquin College's Music Industry Arts program in Ottawa, Ontario. He is the founder of Meikin Records. PaulStar is well-known in the music industry and has received much critical acclaim for his work as a producer and session player. Visit https://meikinrecords.com/ to find out more about PaulStar and to listen to his music. Paul’s music can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.

In the second half-hour, Keala speaks with Corrina Gould — a lifelong advocate for protecting the sacred, repatriation and acknowledgement of the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples — and the recent success in securing one area of a desecrated shell mound in Berkeley, California. Corrina, who is Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation, was born and raised in the village of Huichin, now known as Oakland, California. She is the Co-Founder and Lead Organizer for Indian People Organizing for Change, a small Native run organization and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an urban Indigenous women-led organization within her ancestral territory. Through the practices of rematriation, cultural revitalization, and land restoration, the Land Trust calls on Native and non-Native peoples to heal and transform legacies of colonization, genocide, and to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do. https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/ and https://shellmound.org/.

Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

Rather than chasing the fish, this technique uses ropes to create an artificial reef that channels fish toward a net stretched between two anchored boats. Fishers observe the water and pull in the net at the right moment, intercepting salmon as they migrate from the Pacific Ocean to the Fraser River near present-day Washington state and British Columbia. Colonialism, government policies, habitat destruction, and declining salmon populations have separated tribes from this tradition. Today, only 12 reef net permits exist, with just one belonging to the Lummi Nation. Many tribal members hope to revive reef net fishing to restore their cultural identity and a sustainable salmon harvest but face difficulties balancing economic realities with preserving what the Lummi consider a sacred heritage.” — Liz Kimbrough, author, “Last of the reef netters: An Indigenous, sustainable salmon fishery,” Mongabay, Nov. 21, 2023: https://bit.ly/3IlGIk9

]]> indigenous, first voices, native american, Indigenous artists No 02/18/24 - Kütral Vargas Huaiquimilla, Dr. Montserrat Madariaga-Caro 177 177 02/18/24 - Kütral Vargas Huaiquimilla, Dr. Montserrat Madariaga-Caro full 8f17fe67-5a68-4c55-b3ed-28e838f17e43 https://share.transistor.fm/s/4d414663 Tiokasin’s guests are Chilean-based Indigenous Mapuche artist Kütral Vargas Huaiquimilla and Vassar College Assistant Professor of Hispanic Studies Dr. Montserrat Madariaga-Caro.

They will talk about the art exhibition, “Abolengo: An Illustrious History of Looting in Mapuche Lands” featuring Kütral’s work. The exhibition opens Thursday, Feb. 22 and is on view through Feb. 29 at The Palmer Gallery at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Kütral’s work interrogates settler narratives and practices – extractivism and overconsumption – that allow colonial continuity in Mapuche lands (the south of Chile and Argentina). Through parody, pastiche and “modding,” or alterations, Kütral intertwines pop culture and critiques of environmental racism and violence against Indigenous people.

Dr. Madariaga-Caro’s research focuses on the intersections of Indigenous poetics, aesthetics, and micropolitics of land, life and justice. Her current book project illuminates how the works of Indigenous Mapuche poets and artists invigorate land relations among humans and other ecological bodies and work against settler-colonialism, racial extractive capitalism, and compulsory cis-hetero socializations.

Once contacted they took all our farming and we hadn’t farmed since we started growing hemp. It’s really quite amazing how it’s been a big full circle moment.”

]]> indigenous, first voices, native american, Indigenous artists No 01/28/24 - Frank Buffalo Hyde, Ed Kabotie 174 174 01/28/24 - Frank Buffalo Hyde, Ed Kabotie full fe50759a-1287-4eea-b45c-7ab2f643b8aa https://share.transistor.fm/s/61d83b82 In the first half-hour, Tiokasin speaks with Frank Buffalo Hyde (Onondaga and Nez Perce), one of the five Native artists featured in the upcoming exhibition, “Sensing Sasquatch,” which will be on view March 2, 2024 - January 12, 2025 at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. Native peoples of the Plateau have long known about, encountered, depicted and told stories about Sasquatch, and the exhibition will examine the primate-like, reclusive and elusive being in the context of the High Desert region through an Indigenous lens.

Frank Buffalo Hyde grew up in New York on his mother's Onondaga reservation. He began exhibiting his artwork at 18 years old as a hobby. He began taking his artwork career more seriously when he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. His artwork has been described as “Bold, Culturally Relevant and Inspiring!” featuring vibrant colors and animal subjects, most commonly buffaloes and his tribe. Frank’s way of creating his artwork is to combine numerous aspects of modern culture with the internet and technology and combine it with Native American ideas. Frank has stated that the intention of his artwork is to highlight the social and political problems today’s society. In addition, issues in today's society and in the lives of Native Americans is what drives him to continue with his career. Frank’s goal for his artwork is to change the way people perceive Native American artwork and abolish any stereotypes that follow Native American artwork. He hopes to teach aspiring Native American artists to make the artwork that they want to make and not worry about their artwork being "Indian enough" or "Native enough.” Frank says, “Indigenous people are now at a point where they have to be dealt with … the popular culture, and the world can no longer ignore what we know and who we are.” More about Frank can be found at https://frankbuffalohyde.com/

In the second half-hour, Tiokasin welcomes back our friend Ed Kabotie with an important update. "The continued contamination of lands occupied by the Indigenous nations of the Colorado Plateau must be recognized for what it is: a continuation of the genocidal philosophies of Manifest Destiny. Many issues that Indigenous people face remain out of sight, out of mind to the general public,” says Ed.

Ed Kabotie is an artist and musician from the Hopi village of Shungopavi and the Tewa village of Khap’o Owinge. He considers himself to be an “edu-tainer,” combining visual art, music, and education for his lectures and performances about “Alter-Native History” and issues related to the Indigenous people and lands of the four corner states region. Ed is also an event organizer and, along with his band Tha ‘Yoties and the generous support of nonprofits and committed friends, has held events that feature the Native voices in his homeland. Ed’s solo music incorporates acoustic guitar, Native American flute, harmonica, percussion and voice. His lyrics are sung in English, Hopi and Tewa, and are often written in a storytelling fashion. Ed describes the music as “Nu-Native,” utilizing contemporary instrumentation as a vehicle to share the virtues of his Indigenous heritage, as well as our past and present struggles with colonialism.

Annamarie is an enrolled member of the Red Lake Nation located in northwestern Minnesota. It was while she was studying Music and Business at a private women’s college in the southern part of the state that she realized the impact of inhumane treatment put upon her father and family and became determined to somehow help right the wrongs that had devastated American Indian communities. After graduation, Annamarie moved to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Metropolitan area and began a career in the state legislature and government for more than a decade before taking the role of State Government Affairs Director for Red Lake.

After lobbying for Red Lake Nation for several years, Annamarie went on to lead the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council as Executive Director for a decade. It was during this time that the highly regarded and award-winning “Why Treaties Matter” exhibit and Dakota Ojibwe Language Revitalization program were developed. Annamarie currently works for the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Duluth Campus as the Strategy and Outreach Director. Annamarie is a part of the Mantyh Lab, a research team led by Neurologist and Dementia Specialist Dr. William Mantyh. The NIH- funded research project is to examine the APOE gene’s relationship with Alzheimer’s disease in the Native population. Annamarie remains active in the lobbying and advocating world for her people and provides professional and executive coaching and mentoring to many.

Annamarie has a bachelor’s degree in music and business administration from The College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and a master’s degree in Tribal Administration and Governance from the University of Minnesota/Duluth.

The nation needed a Wiping of the Tears ceremony after the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. The ride began because of the way our people were living; they needed change and a way that brought awareness to what happened to Bigfoot and his people at Wounded Knee. Between 1986-1990, the ride was a Wiping of the Tears ceremony for the Lakota nation. There were 19 riders on the very first ride in 1986 from Bridger, SD to Wounded Knee, SD. The ride was called the Future Generation Ride after 1990, when the Wiping of the Tears ceremony ended.

Stephany has been working in service to the last wild buffalo for over 20 years. Born in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and raised in Virginia, Stephany learned about the continued war against wild buffalo in 1996 and has been advocating for them ever since. In response to their struggle, she moved to Montana on New Year’s Day 2004, where she became the media coordinator for Buffalo Field Campaign, with whom she parted ways after 18 years of service over philosophical differences.

Stephany has nearly 20 years of experience standing with the buffalo, is an avid wildlife photographer, backcountry skier, and horsewoman. She is a member of Deep Green Resistance, and co-founder of Roam Free Nation. Stephany trusts that the buffalo have called us not just to help defend them, but to help us save us from ourselves from the unsustainable and selfish creation of industrial civilization.

Jonathan Gonzales was born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and grew up in southern California. He has spent the last 12 years learning earth living skills and ancestral ceremonial ways with many teachers and elders, combined with participating in Indigenous, earth-based ceremonies along with a quest to connect more deeply with his ancestral lineage, which is Indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico, Chinanteco from Mexico, and African).

Lucas Jatobá is a photographer and filmmaker who was born in Manaus, northern Brazil. He had been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2014, where he went to study Anthropology at the Fluminense Federal University. Lucas started working as a freelancer, doing professional and volunteer documentation works on topics related to human rights, especially issues related to urban social issues.

Christian Matute Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory. This recognition of land and language has drawn Christian to the work of language justice. He is currently exploring this avenue of healing while keeping in mind the need for future generations to decolonize themselves through expansive and yet connective land-based principles.

It was while she was studying Music and Business at a private women’s college in the southern part of the state that she realized the impact of inhumane treatment put upon her father and family and became determined to somehow help right the wrongs that had devastated American Indian communities. After graduation, Annamarie moved to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Metropolitan area and began a career in the state legislature and government for more than a decade before taking the role of State Government Affairs Director for Red Lake. After lobbying for Red Lake Nation for several years, Annamarie went on to lead the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council as Executive Director for a decade.

It was during this time that the highly regarded and award-winning “Why Treaties Matter” exhibit and Dakota Ojibwe Language Revitalization program were developed. Annamarie currently works for the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Duluth Campus as the Strategy and Outreach Director. Annamarie is a part of the Mantyh Lab, a research team led by Neurologist and Dementia Specialist Dr. William Mantyh. The NIH- funded research project is to examine the APOE gene’s relationship with Alzheimer’s disease in the Native population.

Annamarie remains active in the lobbying and advocating world for her people and provides professional and executive coaching and mentoring to many. Annamarie has a bachelor’s degree in music and business administration from The College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and a master’s degree in Tribal Administration and Governance from the University of Minnesota - Duluth.

Kevin is featured in the seventh season of “Stories from the Stage,” a WORLD-original series that highlights stories told by ordinary people from all walks of life. This season includes seven Native Americans. Kevin tells a story about his involvement in an activist event to oppose a huge housing development in Lincoln, Nebraska in April-May 2021, and efforts to rally the community around it.

Kevin is an award-winning journalist, film producer and community organizer. He is deputy managing editor of Indian Country Today and was a reporter and editor for the Lincoln Journal Star for 18 years. A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Kevin has spent his career documenting the lives, accomplishments and tragedies of Native American people. He holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of South Dakota and a master's in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The “On Scared Ground” episode featuring Kevin’s story airs on Monday, October 23 at 9:30 pm Eastern Time. Two other stories are featured: artist Colleen New Holy (Oglala Lakota) talks about the judgment heaped on traditional healing through stories of her mother, noted activist and educator Reneé Sans Souci, and her work as an educator preserving Native culture, and Valery Killscrow Copeland (Oglala Lakota) tells a story about her encounter with Bigfoot. “Stories from the Stage” can be seen on WORLD, YouTube, worldchannel.org and the PBS App. Individual stories and exclusive digital content can also be seen on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and on the WORLD YouTube Channel.

WPKN streams at wpkn.org. (WPKN is the former “home” of “First Voices Radio” and a longtime, treasured affiliate). Binnie maintains a private practice in psychotherapy in New Haven, CT, and has been a Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University. She also is an author and publishes in many publications.

Binnie’s latest creative project is an indie music collaboration, “In These Trees and Tartie.” While sorting through submissions for her radio show, Binnie was particularly captivated by an Australian singer-songwriter who performs as Tartie (Natasha Anderson). Tartie, based in Melbourne, is known for her “dream-pop” sensibility. Continents apart, separated by time zones and a pandemic, Tartie and Binnie began to explore collaborative possibilities. Tartie’s musical take on Binnie’s lyrics of memory, loss, betrayal, and ultimate liberation was just the right fit. The two women share a passion for nature and survival of the planet. “Ablaze” is the most recent release for “In These Trees and Tartie,” a poignant protest against our heartless treatment of the earth, particularly resonant in these times of increasingly destructive environmental events. Jennifer Kreisberg (Tuscarora) from Ulali provides back-up vocals.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse says: “Once in a while I am compelled after hearing a song about how we forget about out impact on Earth with our rational justifications of making our world, our civilization better by ignoring the natural balance, and continue in our narcissistic ideas often because we as humans caused the tragedies we lament in song. These songs need to be medicine songs, healing songs, ancient tried and true songs not looking for popularity but for respecting the place Earth has in heart for humanity.”

The two women share a passion for nature and survival of the planet. “Ablaze” is the most recent release for “In These Trees and Tartie,” a poignant protest against our heartless treatment of the earth, particularly resonant in these times of increasingly destructive environmental events. Jennifer Kreisberg (Tuscarora) from Ulali provides back-up vocals.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse says: “Once in a while I am compelled after hearing a song about how we forget about out impact on Earth with our rational justifications of making our world, our civilization better by ignoring the natural balance, and continue in our narcissistic ideas often because we as humans caused the tragedies we lament in song. These songs need to be medicine songs, healing songs, ancient tried and true songs not looking for popularity but for respecting the place Earth has in heart for humanity.”

She is a full-spectrum doula, Indigenous breastfeeding counselor and birth keeper providing birth work services to her community. Chasity is a scholar, writer, and organizer on Pueblo women in agriculture, and Indigenous food and seed sovereignty.

She is a poet that tells the story on how all these lines of work contribute to the wellbeing and healing of Pueblo women and children from the impacts of ongoing settler colonialism, unsettling capitalism, the medical industrial complex, and the environmental destruction and injustice from extractive projects that occur near and on her homeland of Acoma Pueblo. Chasity’s latest line of work has been helping Pueblo communities navigate the climate crisis, generate food and seed sovereignty awareness among her Pueblo, and restoring and working with medicinal plant knowledge in Acoma Pueblo for her birth work clients/families and community members with chronic illnesses and conditions.

She is a graduate of Stanford University where she completed her Bachelors of Arts in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. In her free time she likes to teach her nieces and nephews how to farm and save seed, write poetry and fiction, make medicine for community and complete her creative writing projects including her book of essays and poetry.

Special thanks to Lucy Rain Simpson, Executive Director, and Marquel Musgave, Covid T.A. Specialist, at the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC) in Lame Deer, Montana, for helping us reach out to Chasity and invite her to appear on the show. NIWRC organized a webinar on September 15, 2023, titled “Collective Healing: Plant Medicine Allies to Support Long Covid Survivors and Collective Grief Now and Into the Future” that featured Chasity as the presenter. NIWRC is a Native-led nonprofit organization dedicated to ending violence against Native women and children. The organization provides national leadership in ending gender-based violence in tribal communities by lifting up the collective voices of grassroots advocates and offering culturally grounded resources, technical assistance and training, and policy development to strengthen tribal sovereignty.

]]> Chasity Salvador is a young farmer and traditional seed keeper growing food and seed for her family and community. She is a full-spectrum doula, Indigenous breastfeeding counselor and birth keeper providing birth work services to her community. Chasity is a scholar, writer, and organizer on Pueblo women in agriculture, and Indigenous food and seed sovereignty.

She is a poet that tells the story on how all these lines of work contribute to the wellbeing and healing of Pueblo women and children from the impacts of ongoing settler colonialism, unsettling capitalism, the medical industrial complex, and the environmental destruction and injustice from extractive projects that occur near and on her homeland of Acoma Pueblo. Chasity’s latest line of work has been helping Pueblo communities navigate the climate crisis, generate food and seed sovereignty awareness among her Pueblo, and restoring and working with medicinal plant knowledge in Acoma Pueblo for her birth work clients/families and community members with chronic illnesses and conditions.

She is a graduate of Stanford University where she completed her Bachelors of Arts in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. In her free time she likes to teach her nieces and nephews how to farm and save seed, write poetry and fiction, make medicine for community and complete her creative writing projects including her book of essays and poetry.

Special thanks to Lucy Rain Simpson, Executive Director, and Marquel Musgave, Covid T.A. Specialist, at the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC) in Lame Deer, Montana, for helping us reach out to Chasity and invite her to appear on the show. NIWRC organized a webinar on September 15, 2023, titled “Collective Healing: Plant Medicine Allies to Support Long Covid Survivors and Collective Grief Now and Into the Future” that featured Chasity as the presenter. NIWRC is a Native-led nonprofit organization dedicated to ending violence against Native women and children. The organization provides national leadership in ending gender-based violence in tribal communities by lifting up the collective voices of grassroots advocates and offering culturally grounded resources, technical assistance and training, and policy development to strengthen tribal sovereignty.

Hataałiinez Wheeler is a very modern kind of crooner: a pensive, deep-voiced troubadour whose serene surf-country songs tap into the hope and despondency of a new generation. The music he makes as Hataałii — a Navajo term that means “to sing,” a fitting diminutive of his given name — is at turns witty and world-weary, sunny but endearingly solipsistic.

Albert Haskie is a software developer from the Navajo Nation. He is the creator of the app Adoone’é. Serving as the lead developer in the project, Albert has strived to uphold his culture and traditions as a Navajo/Diné. It is his deep-rooted belief that everyone should have access to the resources that preserve and celebrate their Navajo/Diné heritage. Albert finds great joy in tackling Navajo/Diné language and culture preservation in the 21st century. With Adoone’é he aims to contribute to his community and empower others to do the same. Albert says that “Together, we can foster a world where Navajo/Diné individuals can achieve fluency in the Navajo/Diné language.”

Means was active in international issues of Indigenous peoples, including working with groups in Central and South America and with the United Nations for recognition of their rights. He was active in politics at his native Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and at the state and national level. Beginning an acting career in 1992, he appeared on numerous television series and in several films, including “The Last of the Mohicans” and “Pocahontas” and released his own music CD. Means published his autobiography, "Where White Men Fear to Tread,” in 1995.

He was given the name Waŋblí Ohítika meaning “Brave Eagle” in the Lakota language. He talks about an array of topic but mostly patriarchy and matriarchy, and what it means to become a “Pow Wow” Indian.

He will begin with an untitled musical track featuring Levon and Roselyne Menassian (Armenian) with Duduk, voice and Native flute. Tiokasin will talk about the conference that he recently attended in Portugal.

In the second half-hour, from our extensive archive stretching back 31 years: Darlene and Willard Pipeboy were frequent guests on First Voices ‘Indigenous’ Radio (as it was known at the time) from 1999 through the mid-2000s. Both carried knowledge and common sense of the Lakota and Dakota wichohan (life ways). This interview was drawn from the 2003 archive before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, before the Fukushima nuclear meltdown in Japan in 2011, and other events as the Western world and Earth continue to clash.

Please listen to these two Wakán (note: there is not really a word for “elder” since it is a noun).

Keala begins with commentary about this past week’s deadly wildfires that completely destroyed the town of Lahaina, Maui, located on the island’s west side. Lahaina is the historic seat of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Fires are still burning in other areas of Maui and also on Moku Nui.

For the majority of the hour, Keala speaks with Shannon O’Loughlin (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), CEO and attorney for the Association on American Indian Affairs, continuing a conversation about repatriation that was begun in March 2023 on this program. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 22 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. She has served Indian Country in the private sector as an attorney, leading a large national firm’s Indian law practice that worked to strengthen, maintain and protect Indian nation sovereignty, self-determination and culture.

This episode ends with a tribute to the late Sinéad O’Connor, “… who became a warrior woman and stood up to call out the centuries of soul-devouring abuse heaped on children by the Catholic church. It happened to the Irish and we all know it happened to the First Peoples of the Americas and other colonized countries.” — Anne Keala Kelly

Christian Matute Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory.

The Museum opened its doors to the public on March 14, 1993 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary throughout 2023 with special exhibits, public programs and events. Built to Smithsonian Institution professional standards, The Museum’s mission is to preserve, advance and share the traditions, cultural and artistic heritage of The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon. Elizabeth is an internationally renowned poet, author, essayist and visual artist. She is also an educator, mentor, collaborator and community leader. In 2016, Elizabeth became the first Native American to be named Oregon’s Poet Laureate.

In the second half-hour, Tiokasin talks with Charles Lyons and Christian Poirier about Charles’ July 11, 2023 article for the environmental news site Mongabay, titled “Six months on, the Yanomami crisis continues amid rising violence.” The article was produced with funding from Earth Journalism Network. Charles, who is based in Rio de Janeiro, is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He is currently making a documentary film about former U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. He is senior consultant for Amazon Aid Foundation.

Last year, Charles produced coverage of the 2022 Brazilian election for PBS NewsHour, which included two long-form reports –– one on deforestation in the Amazon; the other on Indigenous rights. Prior to that, he received an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to produce and edit coverage of the pandemic in Brazil, also for PBS NewsHour. He is currently writing a series of articles on illegal gold mining in Amazonian countries for Mongabay. Christian Poirier is a senior member of Amazon Watch’s team. Having coordinated the Brazil Program since 2009, Christian helped lead international solidarity campaigns to halt the construction of large Amazon dams and to call on the global private sector to cease its complicity in environmental destruction and human rights abuses in the Amazon. He has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of international development and advocacy, focusing on environmental, agrarian, and social justice issues.

As former President of the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association, John co-founded the Catskill Regional Mycoflora Project as well as the Gary Lincoff Memorial Scholarship. He serves as Medicinal Mushroom Committee Chair and is a Poison Control Consultant for the North American Mycological Association. He is an instructor for the Wild Mushroom Food Safety Certification courses in NY. He was chosen by the Catskill Center as a "Steward of the Catskills" for his contribution to the environment. He served on the Mushroom Advisory Panel for Certified Naturally Grown to develop ecological standards in mushroom production.

John has presented at the New York Botanical Gardens, Telluride Mushroom Festival, and North American Mycological Association Annual Foray, as well as several colleges and universities. His goal is to educate and inspire people to work with fungi to improve their health, communities, and the environment. More information about Catskill Fungi can be found at https://catskillfungi.com/.

Special Report:
In the second half-hour, “First Voices Radio” looks at a story that has not gotten much attention in the news, despite recent developments coming out of Albany, NY. It’s about Indigenous recognition and sovereignty, particularly on Long Island.

The fight for the Montaukett Indian Nation to be reinstated as a state-recognized tribe might have an end in sight with the passage of a new bill in the New York state senate that passed unanimously on May 31. This comes more than a century after the Montaukett lost their recognition in the infamous 1910 Pharaoh v. Benson case. This legislative action comes with calls both locally in New York and nationwide to rise up for Indigenous sovereignty.

Recently, Native paddlers from tribes all over the country paddled more than 1,500 miles in the northeast to call attention to these issues and defend their water rights. Hofstra University Graduate Journalism Student Cody Hmelar caught up to the canoers when they reached New York and prepared this audio feature for the hyper-local online news site, The Long Island Advocate.

Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel’s been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples.

Tiokasin and Manuel discuss the recent, extraordinary story of four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash and spent 40 days alone in the Colombian Amazon. Manuel relays new evidence and details of their experience from the Indigenous point of view. This is a story beyond what the mainstream media and the institutions are telling us.

The truth has come out and is being largely ignored. The children—three girls of the Huitoto nation (ages 13, 9 and 11 months) and a boy age 4—survived a plane crash in the jungle, escaping from threats to their father by FARC dissidents. The mother died in the crash. The children, lead by the oldest girl, survived 40 days in the thickest jungle. Her skills and knowledge of the jungle made this possible. This is something that has astonished everyone. The Special Forces of the Colombian armed forces used all their technology to search and rescue them and failed. Except that they were joined by Indigenous guards and spiritual elders. It was an elder, Rubio, who meeting in ritual with the elder of the forest (spirit) lead to their location, and the Indigenous guard following his guidance found them alive. They are recovering well.

Manuel says: “This is a message from the jungle and its people to the world! Women, indigenous knowledge, the Mother Jungle, the spiritual power and wisdom spoke. If we are to survive, we need these skills. A slap in the face to modernity and arrogance. An Indigenous guard who took part in the effort called for the rescue of all Indigenous children from the streets of the cities where they have been turned beggars and miserable, and committed everyone to rescue them from modernity. The story is being and will be exploited, but this truths must be known!” A very special thanks to our friend Manuel for this important perspective and what we know and will always remember.

The original episode aired on April 10, 2022.

Munya Andrews is an Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Born to an Aboriginal woman and Scottish father, she is proud of her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage. Her Bardi 'saltwater' people come from the Dampier Peninsula and the offshore islands north of Broome. Regarded by Melbourne University as a "leading Australian thinker," Munya is an accomplished author and barrister with degrees in anthropology and law. Educated in Australia and the United States, she is fascinated by comparative religions, languages, mythology and science, and is intrigued by the way in which they interact and inform each other. Munya’s book, "Journey into Dreamtime," is an easy guide to Aboriginal spirituality that explains Dreamtime concepts in a simple way. Munya's life purpose is to create better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal people, leaving behind a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come. Munya's long term vision is to create a fairer, more inclusive Australian society, which recognizes and pays respect to its First Nations people.

Following Tiokasin’s talk with Munya, he and Malcolm Burn, FVR’s show engineer and host of “The Long Way Around” on Radio Kingston, discuss “greed,” while contemplating the title of the closing song, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Tiokasin asks, "How does one get to rule the world?" Answer: "By turning your back on Mother Nature/Mother Earth." Following this train of thought, Tiokasin talks about greed, which he says is a “being,” a “value” that many people in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere don’t understand. What if greed had a “cost”; what if one had to “pay” something for greed? Malcolm says that "we live in a culture where greed is kind of celebrated and is expected on a certain level —turn on the television and everyone wants more of everything, bigger this, bigger that, more; our culture is consumer based." Both agree that greed is a characteristic of the wasicu and the windigo (the one who is never satisfied). Tiokasin says there is no ceremony to accept greed intelligently. Greed is a being. How is it treating you and how are you treating it?

Following Tiokasin’s talk with Munya, he and Malcolm Burn, FVR’s show engineer and host of “The Long Way Around” on Radio Kingston, discuss “greed,” while contemplating the title of the closing song, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Tiokasin asks, "How does one get to rule the world?" Answer: "By turning your back on Mother Nature/Mother Earth." Following this train of thought, Tiokasin talks about greed, which he says is a “being,” a “value” that many people in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere don’t understand. What if greed had a “cost”; what if one had to “pay” something for greed? Malcolm says that "we live in a culture where greed is kind of celebrated and is expected on a certain level —turn on the television and everyone wants more of everything, bigger this, bigger that, more; our culture is consumer based." Both agree that greed is a characteristic of the wasicu and the windigo (the one who is never satisfied). Tiokasin says there is no ceremony to accept greed intelligently. Greed is a being. How is it treating you and how are you treating it?

Dioganhdih Hall, Mohawk of Akwesasne, is a Haudenosaunee community member and a two-spirit multi-disciplinary artist based in their traditional homelands in so called "upstate NY." Their medium of expression weaves between ancestral food cultivation, storytelling, community organizing, hip hop lyricism, beat production and sound engineering. Their primary focus of their work is claiming space for Native folks to re-Indigenize and find movement and joy in the interconnected liberation of our bodies, spirit and land. Dioganhdih is currently working on a food sovereignty project in the Hudson Valley called Iron Path farms (@ironpathfarms).

Rad Pereira (they/them) is a queer trans (im)migrant artist and cultural worker of Pindorama, Abya Yala (Brasil) building consciousness between healing justice, system change, reindigenization and queer futures.

They are building a Native led food sovereignty and world building project called Iron Path Farms. They are a solidarity economy organizer working across platforms, communities and industries. @______rad___.

The original broadcast aired in August 2022. Tiokasin will be back next week with a new episode.

Martín Prechtel is a leading thinker, writer and teacher in the search for the Indigenous soul in all people. He is a dedicated student of eloquence, history, language and an ongoing fresh approach. In his native New Mexico, Martín teaches at his international school Bolad’s Kitchen, a hands-on historical and spiritual immersion into language, music, ritual, farming, cooking, smithing, natural colors, architecture, animal raising, clothing, tools, grief and humor to help people from many lands, cultures and backgrounds to remember and retain the majesty of their diverse origins while cultivating the flowering of integral culture in the present to grow a time of hope beyond our own.

Martín’s books include: “Secrets of the Talking Jaguar”; “Long Life, Honey in the Heart”: “The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun”; “Stealing Benefacio’s Roses”; “The Unlikely Peace of Cuchumaquic” and “The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise.” His latest book, “Rescuing the Light: Quotes from the Oral Teachings of Martín Prechtel” was published on June 8, 2021.

The Association has been tracking domestic and international auctions selling sensitive American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian cultural heritage since 2018. Bonhams Skinner, a large global auction house, has been hosting a 10-day American Indian and Tribal Art online auction this month. The Association has major concerns about the chain of title, as well as the authenticity, of many of the items in this auction. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 22 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. She has served Indian Country in the private sector as an attorney, leading a large national firm’s Indian law practice that worked to strengthen, maintain and protect Indian nation sovereignty, self-determination and culture. More information at: https://www.indian-affairs.org/ 

In the second half-hour, Tiokasin catches up with returning guest Stephany Seay. Stephany is Co-Founder and Board President of Roam Free Nation. She has been working in service to the last wild buffalo for more than 20 years. Stephany learned about the continued war against wild buffalo in 1996 and has been advocating for them ever since. In response to their struggle, she moved to Montana on New Year’s Day 2004, where she became the media coordinator for Buffalo Field Campaign, from which she parted ways after 18 years of service over philosophical differences. Stephany has nearly 20 years of experience standing with the buffalo and is an avid wildlife photographer, backcountry skier and horsewoman. She is a member of Deep Green Resistance. Stephany trusts that the buffalo have called us not just to help defend them, but to help us save us from ourselves from the unsustainable and selfish creation of industrial civilization.

Aymar, who has been a frequent guest this year, is an intercultural artist and museum textile conservator. He is a lifelong student of his Indigenous Aymara heritage, in honor of his Native community of Qullana Socca, Puno, Perú.

María Blanco is the daughter of Hugo Blanco Galdós, “a living legend, one of a constellation of elders who have left this time of calendars and progress and exploitation to live the life of plenitude and freedom in struggle.” — Manuel Rozental. María was born in Sweden. She speaks Quechua, is the mother of two, and is a member of the board of editors of “Indigenous Struggle.” María usually lives in Cusco, in a small community, working the land and organizing Indigenous resistance. She had to go to Sweden temporarily to make some income for survival as well as to move resources for “Indigenous Struggle,” the Journal (Lucha Indígena). Her father Hugo Blanco Galdós has said many things that need to be remembered. One of these statements: “I used to fight for land when I was young, now I fight for LAND. LLuchaba por la tierra cuando era joven, ahora lucho por LA TIERRA. Don´t teach them Marxism Leninism, organize them to protect water and save mother earth.” (Very special thanks to our friend Manuel Rozental, a frequent and treasured guest, for introducing us to María and making it possible for her to appear on our show.)

They are the co-authors of “For some Colombians, vows of mining reform are just a flash in the pan” (Mongabay, Feb. 20, 2023: http://bit.ly/3mkZrEN). Charles Lyons is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced coverage of the 2022 Brazilian election for PBS NewsHour, which included two long-form reports on deforestation and Indigenous rights. Prior to that, he received an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to produce and edit coverage of pandemic in Brazil, also for PBS NewsHour. Along with Charlie Espinosa, he is co-writing a series of articles on illegal gold mining in Amazonian countries, for environmental website Mongabay, through support by Amazon Aid Foundation, for which both Charlie and Charles are consultants. Charlie Espinosa is a researcher and writer specializing in gold mining in the Amazon basin. Since 2018, Charlie has worked with the Amazon Aid Foundation, where he helps to implement the Cleaner Gold Network and is the lead author of “Tracking Amazon Gold,” a 50-page report covering the impacts of gold mining across the entire Amazon basin. He has also published articles about gold mining in outlets such as Mongabay, The Chemical Engineer, Green Teacher and others. In tandem with his work for NGOs, Charlie writes poems and essays about the humor and mystery of the natural world.

In the second half-hour, Lead Correspondent Anne Keala Kelly updates us about Thacker Pass, which “First Voices Radio” has been following closely since January 2021. She talks with activist-lawyer Will Falk, who with activist-photographer Max Wilbert started an occupation at Thacker Pass on January 15, 2021, to stop construction of a proposed lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada, known as Peehee Mu’huh in the Paiute language. A new lawsuit was filed in federal district court on February 16th by three nations: Reno-Sparks Indian Colony; Burns-Paiute Tribe; and Summit Lake Paiute Tribe. This is a new lawsuit against the US federal government over Lithium Nevada Corporation’s planned Thacker Pass lithium mine, the latest move in what has become a two-year struggle over mining, greenwashing, and sacred lands in northern Nevada. https://www.protectthackerpass.org/, @ProtectThPass (Twitter), Protect Thacker Pass (Facebook), protectthackerpass (Instagram).

]]> In the first half-hour, Tiokasin talks with Charles Lyons and Charlie Espinosa. They are the co-authors of “For some Colombians, vows of mining reform are just a flash in the pan” (Mongabay, Feb. 20, 2023: http://bit.ly/3mkZrEN). Charles Lyons is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced coverage of the 2022 Brazilian election for PBS NewsHour, which included two long-form reports on deforestation and Indigenous rights. Prior to that, he received an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to produce and edit coverage of pandemic in Brazil, also for PBS NewsHour. Along with Charlie Espinosa, he is co-writing a series of articles on illegal gold mining in Amazonian countries, for environmental website Mongabay, through support by Amazon Aid Foundation, for which both Charlie and Charles are consultants. Charlie Espinosa is a researcher and writer specializing in gold mining in the Amazon basin. Since 2018, Charlie has worked with the Amazon Aid Foundation, where he helps to implement the Cleaner Gold Network and is the lead author of “Tracking Amazon Gold,” a 50-page report covering the impacts of gold mining across the entire Amazon basin. He has also published articles about gold mining in outlets such as Mongabay, The Chemical Engineer, Green Teacher and others. In tandem with his work for NGOs, Charlie writes poems and essays about the humor and mystery of the natural world.

In the second half-hour, Lead Correspondent Anne Keala Kelly updates us about Thacker Pass, which “First Voices Radio” has been following closely since January 2021. She talks with activist-lawyer Will Falk, who with activist-photographer Max Wilbert started an occupation at Thacker Pass on January 15, 2021, to stop construction of a proposed lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada, known as Peehee Mu’huh in the Paiute language. A new lawsuit was filed in federal district court on February 16th by three nations: Reno-Sparks Indian Colony; Burns-Paiute Tribe; and Summit Lake Paiute Tribe. This is a new lawsuit against the US federal government over Lithium Nevada Corporation’s planned Thacker Pass lithium mine, the latest move in what has become a two-year struggle over mining, greenwashing, and sacred lands in northern Nevada. https://www.protectthackerpass.org/, @ProtectThPass (Twitter), Protect Thacker Pass (Facebook), protectthackerpass (Instagram).

Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

His guests tonight are Christian Matute Sagbay, Rad Pereira and Dioganhdih Hall.

Christian Mature Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory. This recognition of land and language has drawn Christian to the work of language justice. He is currently exploring this avenue of healing while keeping in mind the need for future generations to decolonize themselves through expansive and yet connective land-based principles.

Rad Pereira (they/them) is a queer trans (im)migrant artist and cultural worker of Pindorama, Abya Yala (Brasil) building consciousness between healing justice, system change, reindigenization and queer futures. They are based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn) and Haudenosaunee territory (northern Hudson Valley). They are Director of Engagement & Impact at NY Stage & Film. They are building a Native led food sovereignty and world building project called Iron Path Farms. They are a solidarity economy organizer working across platforms, communities and industries. @______rad___.

Dioganhdih Hall, Mohawk of Akwesasne, is a Haudenosaunee community member and a two-spirit multi-disciplinary artist based in their traditional homelands in so called "upstate NY." Their medium of expression weaves between ancestral food cultivation, storytelling, community organizing, hip hop lyricism, beat production and sound engineering. Their primary focus of their work is claiming space for Native folks to re-Indigenize and find movement and joy in the interconnected liberation of our bodies, spirit and land. Dioganhdih is currently working on a food sovereignty project in the Hudson Valley called Iron Path farms (@ironpathfarms).

Their primary focus of their work is claiming space for Native folks to re-Indigenize and find movement and joy in the interconnected liberation of our bodies, spirit and land. Dioganhdih is currently working on a food sovereignty project in the Hudson Valley called Iron Path farms (@ironpathfarms).

Lucas Jatobá is a photographer and filmmaker who was born in Manaus, northern Brazil. He had been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2014, where he went to study Anthropology at the Fluminense Federal University. Lucas started working as a freelancer, doing professional and volunteer documentation works on topics related to human rights, especially issues related to urban social issues.

Christian Matute Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory. This recognition of land and language has drawn Christian to the work of language justice. He is currently exploring this avenue of healing while keeping in mind the need for future generations to decolonize themselves through expansive and yet connective land-based principles.

The third guest was Christian’s brother Mike Matute Sagbay, who studied communications at SUNY Cortland.

Their conversation begins with a prayer for one Hawaiian elder, and then goes onto the cultural and spiritual connections between Indigenous peoples, the protection of Mauna Kea, and Mikilani Young’s own prayerful path, living here on Turtle Island, thousands of miles away from the Hawaiian Nation.

Mikilani’s courageous approach to the practice and teaching of Indigenous Hawaiian ways is both suited to, and challenged by, the times we live in — sharing, but not selling, giving, but being discerning so as not to exploit or diminish the mana of her own knowledge. Her path is a prayerful, thoughtful balance between human needs that adhere to the soulful premise of existence, while maintaining and honoring the Creator’s guidance.

Mikilani’s journey has taken her to many First Peoples Nations (Tongva, Winnemem Wintu, San Carlos Apache, Kumeyaay, Acjachemen, Pomo, Coastal Miwuk, Klamath, Moduc, Maidu, Colville Confederated Tribes, Wabanaki Confederacy, Kewa Pueblo, Tonoho O’odham, Akimel O’odham, Hopi, Lakota, Nakota, Dakota, Warm Springs, Diné, Mohawk, Yavapai, Payómkawichum, Kwatsáan, Tatavium, Lisjan Ohlone, Wintun, Onasatis). She is at her most grateful and skilled when she can be a unifier of people across and beyond the land she lives on, and joyous because she lives with complete trust that her ancestors guide her path. Mikilani formed the non-profit United Pillars of Aloha as well as Kaiapuni Ho’ola Piha Sanctuary in service of Mother Earth and the unborn generations. More about Mikilani can be found at: mikilaniyoung.com.

In the second half-hour, we feature several selections from First Voices Radio’s “Top Listener Favorite Songs of 2022.”

The names of U.S. politicians that John mentions have changed over the years but the issues that Native peoples faced then and now remain the same. John Trudell (1946-2015) has been identified as a poet, a fighter for Native American rights, an agitator, and many other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suits him he would have refused to be pinned down. “Actually I don’t consider myself to be any of those things. They’re things that I do…but they’re parts of me. They’re not the total.” Indeed, Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished during his 69 years, a time when he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes. More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.

]]> First Voices Radio digs deep into our 30-year-old archive and brings listeners another interpretation and observation surrounding the American holiday known as “Thanksgiving.” The late John Trudell’s “Thanksgiving Day Address” is from 1980 but how his observations have stood the test of time and still ring true. The names of U.S. politicians that John mentions have changed over the years but the issues that Native peoples faced then and now remain the same. John Trudell (1946-2015) has been identified as a poet, a fighter for Native American rights, an agitator, and many other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suits him he would have refused to be pinned down. “Actually I don’t consider myself to be any of those things. They’re things that I do…but they’re parts of me. They’re not the total.” Indeed, Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished during his 69 years, a time when he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes. More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.

Jonathan was born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and grew up in southern California. He has spent the last 12 years learning earth living skills and ancestral ceremonial ways with many teachers and elders, combined with participating in Indigenous, earth-based ceremonies along with a quest to connect more deeply with his ancestral lineage, which is Indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico, Chinanteco from Mexico, and African).

Lucas Jatobá is a photographer and filmmaker who was born in Manaus, northern Brazil. He had been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2014, where he went to study Anthropology at the Fluminense Federal University. Lucas started working as a freelancer, doing professional and volunteer documentation works on topics related to human rights, especially issues related to urban social issues.

Christian Matute Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory. This recognition of land and language has drawn Christian to the work of language justice. He is currently exploring this avenue of healing while keeping in mind the need for future generations to decolonize themselves through expansive and yet connective land-based principles.

They discuss the 50th anniversary of the publication of "God is Red" by Vine Deloria, Jr. Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

In the Diné way, she is Tó'aheedlíinii (Water Flows Together clan), her mother’s clan, and born for Cha’al (Frog clan), which is her father’s clan. Her mom is from Lake Valley, New Mexico, which is in the eastern part of the Navajo Nation and next to Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Her father is from the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico. And so her home towns are Lake Valley and Zuni.

“Marley Shebala's Notebook” is her website where she provides current news coverage of the Navajo government and Navajo communities on and off the Navajo Nation. She also produces Navajo Nation environmental news and political analysis of the Navajo government and legislative process. She hosted "Politics on the Navajo Nation," an internet news show. But due to unreliable WiFi on the Navajo Nation where she resides, the weekly news show was cancelled until she can raise funds to increase WiFi power at her residence. She is available for presentations on the benefits of a free and open press in Indian Country and how to achieve accurate and fair news coverage of the Navajo Nation and Indian Country.

Marley works part-time at the Gallup Independent newspaper, which is headquartered in Gallup, New Mexico. She is the only reporter at the Gallup Independent Diné Bureau in Window Rock, Arizona, which covers the Navajo Nation. Before working for the Gallup Independent, she worked as the Navajo Times newspaper’s’ senior reporter specializing in investigative reporting on politics, domestic violence, law enforcement, veterans and the environment. She also covered a wide range of general interest stories.

Marley’s stories have won numerous awards from state and national organizations over the more than 30 years she has been in journalism. More information on Marley’s website: http://www.dineresourcesandinfocenter.org/

Gregg is a multi-disciplinary artist, activist, and "disruptor." His work is informed by his Native identity and includes exhaustive critiques of American society, politics, popular culture and history. Through paintings, murals, performance work, filmmaking, spoken word, and more, Gregg invites the viewer to confront these issues both in the present and the past tense. In a 2018 TED Talk, Greg described his work as “honoring Indigenous experiences, challenging stereotypes, and pushing for accurate representations of Indigenous people in art.” It is in these "disruptions" of stereotypes and ahistorical representations which Gregg uses the term to describe his work. Gregg has exhibited his work at notable institutions both locally, nationally, and internationally including the Denver Art Museum, RedLine Gallery, and The Smithsonian Institution.

The artist currently lives with his wife and five children along the Front Range of Colorado. Gregg’s current exhibit, “End of Silence,” is on view through October 12th at RedLine Contemporary Art Center in Denver, Colorado. A major review in The Denver Post on September 19, called the exhibit, “loud in every way,” and also said it is “one of the best, and most ambitious, exhibitions this year in the region. It has a lot to say, as much about painting and pop culture as it does the politics of convenience, human mistreatment and oppression — and in that way it lives up to its title.” More information about Gregg is at greggdeal.com.

In the second half, we feature a discussion about “Saging the World,” a 20-minute documentary which is the focal point of a campaign to deter the global rush on white sage (Salvia apiana), driven by widespread cultural appropriation of smudging. Tiokasin’s guests are Co-Directors Rose Ramirez and Deborah Small. The film was created by Rose and Deborah in partnership with the California Native Plant Society.

It has a lot to say, as much about painting and pop culture as it does the politics of convenience, human mistreatment and oppression — and in that way it lives up to its title.” More information about Gregg is at greggdeal.com.

In the second half, we feature a discussion about “Saging the World,” a 20-minute documentary which is the focal point of a campaign to deter the global rush on white sage (Salvia apiana), driven by widespread cultural appropriation of smudging. Tiokasin’s guests are Co-Directors Rose Ramirez and Deborah Small. The film was created by Rose and Deborah in partnership with the California Native Plant Society.

Colonization is a political agenda of an ideology quite often associated with forcing non-westernized peoples who suffer from the consequences of colonization, in the appropriation of land use benefiting the colonizer. This is quite often rationalized as the eminent good for all people, including the Original Peoples of a particular region, in this case the Indigenous peoples of Cauca in Colombia, South America.
 
Guest for the Full Hour: Dr. Manuel Rozental
Tiokasin catches up with “First Voices Radio” friend and regular guest Dr. Manuel Rozental with a report on current events from Colombia and Abya Yala including recent events in Chile involving the Mapuche people and the progressive government of Gabriel Boric.

Dr. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel has been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples.

Martín’s books include: “Secrets of the Talking Jaguar”; “Long Life, Honey in the Heart”: “The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun”; “Stealing Benefacio’s Roses”; “The Unlikely Peace of Cuchumaquic” and “The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise.” His latest book, “Rescuing the Light: Quotes from the Oral Teachings of Martín Prechtel” was published in June 2021.

Jennifer is the owner of Ofi Ni Productions and is a multiple award-winning producer and radio host, and television segment producer. Her weekly two-hour live program, "Resilience Radio," airs on KVMR 89.5 FM in Nevada City, CA. It presents Native American authors, artists, musicians, storytellers and activists and showcases contemporary Native music.

Over the years Jennifer has interviewed hundreds of well-known Natives, including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Dennis Banks and John Trudell. "Resilience Radio" has an international following and is known for the authentic Indigenous voice. Jennifer's field work in Cannonball, North Dakota during the Standing Rock protest is available as a one-hour audio special. She was a broadcaster for SPIRIT Radio, Standing Rock's official station. Jennifer's ability to engage in honest, in-depth interviews is as entertaining as it is informative. She is a member of the Native American Journalists Association (NAJA).

Regular guest Doug George-Kanentiio (Akwesasne Mohawk) was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne.

A community organizer and wellness activist, Kelli is recognized across communities for her inspired work to bridge transformational practice with social justice.

Jesse wrote and produced the 2013 short Istinma, set in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of South Dakota. A graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Jesse received a 2016 Sundance Institute Native American and Indigenous Program Development Grant and also attended the Creative Producing Summit at Sundance. In 2014 he was part of the effort to change the name of Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County in South Dakota.

Currently employed by the Oglala Lakota tribal government, Jesse is a member of the board of the Black Hills Film Festival. With the First Peoples Fund, Jesse leads youth filmmaking workshops in the Oglala Lakota Nation. Lakota Nation vs. United States - directed by Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli - had its world premier on June 11, 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival. View the trailer here: https://youtu.be/HtK5JPZx_XM

In the second half, returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

In 2014 he was part of the effort to change the name of Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County in South Dakota.

Currently employed by the Oglala Lakota tribal government, Jesse is a member of the board of the Black Hills Film Festival. With the First Peoples Fund, Jesse leads youth filmmaking workshops in the Oglala Lakota Nation. Lakota Nation vs. United States - directed by Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli - had its world premier on June 11, 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

In the second half, returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

]]> indigenous, first voices, native american, Indigenous artists No 06/26/22 - Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD; William Iggiagruk Hensley 92 92 06/26/22 - Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD; William Iggiagruk Hensley full Buzzsprout-10929031 https://share.transistor.fm/s/a8ac3438 In the first segment, Tiokasin talks with Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, author of the New York Times bestseller Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About Raising Children (Simon and Schuster, 2021). The book describes a way of raising helpful and confident children, which moms and dads have turned to for millennia. It also explains how American families can incorporate this approach into their busy lives.

Michaeleen wrote the book after traveling to three continents with her 3-year-old daughter, Rosy. Maya, Inuit, and Hadzabe families showed her how to tame tantrums, motivate kids to be helpful, and build children's confidence and self-sufficiency.

Michaeleen is also a global health correspondent for NPR's Science Desk, where she reports about disease outbreaks and children's health. More about Michaeleen at michaeleendoucleff.com

In the second segment, William Iggiagruk Hensley (Iñupiaq) is the author of Fifty Miles from Tomorrow: A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009). It is a stirring memoir of his childhood among the Iñupiaq people in Alaska, his lifelong crusade, including a stint in Congress, to protect their culture and way of life.

William brilliantly portrays how the lessons he learned in childhood, battling the wilderness of Alaska without many basic necessities, helped him as an adult to battle the hardships of political corruption and deceit in order to preserve his heritage.

In 1971, after years of William's tireless lobbying, the U.S. conveyed 44 million acres and earmarked nearly $1 billion for use by Alaska Native peoples. This is the inspiring true story of one man's quest to preserve and defend his people's "Ilitqusiat" - or Native Spirit.

We don't want an apology, we want justice," writes residential school survivor Doug George-Kanentiio (Akwesasne Mohawk) in a column that was widely published in April. Tiokasin and Doug discuss the recent papal apology.

Doug was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law.

Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr., on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.

Doug is vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory. Read Doug's column: https://bit.ly/39KA5dm

The second half-hour, Tiokasin discusses Native elder abuse with CC Hovie, Communications Manager at StrongHearts Native Helpline. Domestic abuse can look similar in elder relationships as it does in their younger counterparts, but some elders may be more vulnerable to the impacts of abuse and less able to get support. CC Hovie is Anishinaabe Ojibwe from the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Indians.

In her job, CC develops and oversees all StrongHearts' communications and media efforts to support the organization's mission, vision and goals. Prior to working at StrongHearts, CC was the Program Coordinator for the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network in Michigan.

CC is experienced in public relations, media appearances, and marketing strategies. She volunteered as the Marketing Director for several non-profits and helped them create brand identity by leveraging her skills in electronic and print media. In 2002, CC began working in the domestic violence prevention field at the Advocacy Resource Center for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.

She attended Lake Superior State University and Ferris State University with a concentration on Business Management. For more information about StrongHearts Native Helpline, visit strongheartshelpline.org.

]]> "There is a reason why the Six Nations-Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) were not invited to Rome to meet the pope and secure an apology for the victims of the residential schools. We don't want an apology, we want justice," writes residential school survivor Doug George-Kanentiio (Akwesasne Mohawk) in a column that was widely published in April. Tiokasin and Doug discuss the recent papal apology.

Doug was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law.

Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr., on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.

Doug is vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory. Read Doug's column: https://bit.ly/39KA5dm

The second half-hour, Tiokasin discusses Native elder abuse with CC Hovie, Communications Manager at StrongHearts Native Helpline. Domestic abuse can look similar in elder relationships as it does in their younger counterparts, but some elders may be more vulnerable to the impacts of abuse and less able to get support. CC Hovie is Anishinaabe Ojibwe from the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Indians.

In her job, CC develops and oversees all StrongHearts' communications and media efforts to support the organization's mission, vision and goals. Prior to working at StrongHearts, CC was the Program Coordinator for the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network in Michigan.

CC is experienced in public relations, media appearances, and marketing strategies. She volunteered as the Marketing Director for several non-profits and helped them create brand identity by leveraging her skills in electronic and print media. In 2002, CC began working in the domestic violence prevention field at the Advocacy Resource Center for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.

She attended Lake Superior State University and Ferris State University with a concentration on Business Management. For more information about StrongHearts Native Helpline, visit strongheartshelpline.org.

Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

Dr. Tinker is the author of American Indian Liberation: A Theology of Sovereignty (Orbis Press, 2008); and is author or editor of several other volumes; and has written nearly a hundred journal articles and chapters for edited volumes. He has served on the Leadership Council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado and was active in the 30-year project to rid Colorado of its state proclaimed columbus day holiday, which was finally successful in April 2020.

The film shows the lives of the modern day Native women as we listen to their stories of loss, suicide, murder and epidemic meth addiction among their community, mirrored by their deep ancestral roots, traditional ceremony, prayer and hope. Women of the White Buffalo features testimonials from nine women from the Lakota Nation, ranging in age from 10 to 98, living on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations in South Dakota.

Deborah's work has graced the covers of pop music albums and magazines, as well as the walls of an expansive clientele of private homes and landmark hotels worldwide. Of Indigenous, Black, Irish and Scottish descent, her photographic work has hung in galleries both in Europe and the US, including the world-class Leica Galleries, which have hosted three shows for her Women Of The White Buffalo series. More information at https://womenofthewhitebuffalo.com/home

In the second segment, Tiokasin speaks with Scott Frazier, a Santee and enrolled Crow Tribe citizen. He is currently Executive Director and Indigenous Liaison for Project WET, and recently he formed a new company called Project Indigenous, with the mission of promoting wellness, diversity and environmental consultation to Indigenous peoples.

Tiokasin and Scott discuss the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park, which is taking place in 2022. As a highly accomplished and driven leader, Scott keeps a rigorous schedule of public speaking engagements and guest appearances teaching Native environmental education. He has been involved in buffalo issues for many years. When asked what his perspective is as a Native person on water, wellness, and environmental issues, he says: "To me all things on this planet are earth, wind, fire and water. Different proportions, of course, but maintaining a relationship to all… In the Native perspective of nature, we are all part of nature… We are not just observers."

That is the intriguing premise of The Language of Spirituality, a documentary film about the intersection of spirituality, modern science and language.

Inspired by a series of dialogues between western physicists, Indigenous scholars, elders and linguists, the documentary begins by exploring how language and worldview influence each other. Filmmaker Anthony DellaFlora captures this momentous meeting of minds and the beginnings of the ongoing dialogue in The Language of Spirituality. Participants in the dialogues, including Fred Alan Wolf (What the Bleep Do We Know?), Bohm colleague the late F.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

Dr. Tinker is the author of American Indian Liberation: A Theology of Sovereignty (Orbis Press, 2008) and is author or editor of several other volumes. He has written nearly a hundred journal articles and chapters for edited volumes. He has served on the Leadership Council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado and was active in the 30-year project to rid Colorado of its state proclaimed columbus day holiday, which was finally successful in April 2020.

George is an artist from Aotearoa. He is of Scottish, German and Maori descent and has been a full-time practitioner of arts for 36 years. George's works range from delicate pearl shell, bone and jade amulets to life-size plexiglass sculptures and multi-story high polystyrene depictions of Polynesian demigods and Maori culture heroes.

His decades of art practice has been spent globally, ranging from the world's prestigious art institutions and treasure houses through to communities of all ethnicities and socio-economic status. George has created more than 100 projects to date, including: the British Museum, National Museum of Scotland, Museum of Geneva, Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, British Columbia, Museum of Contemporary Art in Taiwan, United Nations Forum for Indigenous People, Tijibao Cultural Centre in Nouméa, New Caledonia and many more. George carries the thousands' year-old art traditions of his ancestors that promise to both expand life and enhance survival.

George talks about his life's journey ranging from children to the elders to the ancestors - the concepts of time, practicality with Mother Earth, throughout his art carvings to his art carvings to the political aspects of working at the United Nations in the early 2000s.

Tiokasin and George discuss the importance of Indigenous peoples who were largely ignored by the dominant societies; and if it were not for previous generations who didn't need the dominant societies and being noticed by Mother Earth let alone modern day society. The Maori Nation's culture is vibrant, up-to-date and never archaic - the same as many Indigenous peoples thoughts and ways of living with Earth.

This is quite often rationalized as the eminent good for all people, including the Original Peoples of a particular region, in this case the Indigenous peoples of the Association of Indigenous Councils in Cauca, Colombia, South America.

Tiokasin catches up with First Voices Radio friend and regular guest Dr. Manuel Rozental with a report on current events in Colombia, including the recent news of the cowardly assassination of 14 year-old Indigenous activist Breiner David Cucuñame of the Nasa people, who was shot dead while on patrol protecting his territory with the unarmed group Indigenous Guard.

Manuel puts this most recent assassination into context for us. He reports that as of January 23, 2022, there have been 10 massacres in Colombia with 96 people being assassinated. In 2021, there were more than 96 massacres, with more than 338 people murdered. Proportionally, given the number of Indigenous peoples in Colombia, the greatest number of people assassinated in these massacres were Indigenous and Afro-Colombian people.

Though the media generates confusion about this and conflicting versions, the way to understand these massacres is to understand who benefits from this. The beneficiaries are people related with the huge drug trade, not gangs but the massive trans-national corporate money-making business in the world that involves the Colombian economy massively.

Ninety-two percent of the cocaine produced in the world comes out of Colombia. Territories are being invaded by the monocultures of coca and marijuana, and these are transformed and are being distributed. Those who profit from this are large corporate interests and elites throughout the planet; and then most of the money, though it's Colombian-based, flows north just like it happens with any corporate interest.

Dr. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel's been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades.

Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. Dr. Steeves' research focus is on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere, reclaiming and rewriting Indigenous histories and healing and reconciliation, and she argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. Her first book - which should be in every library - is "The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas," published in July 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press.

Dr. Steeves has said that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation, transforming public consciousness, and confronting and challenging racism.

During this podcast, Tiokasin talks with Dr. Steeves about her current work on the "Canadian Residential School and Colonial Institutions Database, 1620 to the Present." This is a comprehensive database of Residential Schools, Indian Hospitals, and Indian Day Schools in Canada. There are now 950 sites in the database. Dr. Steeves says, "The numbers of missing and deceased children who were forced to attend residential schools in Canada may never be known. We must work to find the ones we can, to locate the hundreds of unmarked burials at residential schools, Indian day schools, and Indian hospitals, and to acknowledge the children, and honor their memories."

If you notice a school or institution is missing, email the information to Dr. Steeves at paulette.steeves@algomau.ca and the information will be added to the database.

Stephanie is executive director of 7000 Languages, a nonprofit organization that helps Indigenous people around the world teach, learn and sustain their languages through technology. 7000 Languages creates free online language-learning courses in partnership with Indigenous, minority, and refugee communities so they can keep their languages alive.

Stephanie has more than 10 years of experience in both language revitalization and the non-profit sector. She holds a M.A. in Linguistic from the University at Hawai'i Mānoa with an emphasis in Language Documentation and Conservation and has worked with speakers of multiple under-documented languages, including Native languages of California, the Pacific, and Russia. To find out more about 7000 Languages, visit 7000.org.

In the second segment, Tiokasin welcomes Luella Brien. Four Points Media is the dream of Luella, an Apsáalooke journalist with nearly 20 years of experience in the news industry. Luella has over the last decade envisioned a media company that produces the highest quality investigative and public service journalism. Four Points Media, Inc. is the embodiment of that vision.

Luella is the descendant of powerful healers, educators and leaders and, most importantly, storytellers. She has a degree in journalism from the University of Montana, is a 2002 graduate of the Freedom Forum's American Indian Journalism Institute, and was a 2004 Chips Quinn Scholar. Luella has three children and lives on the Crow Indian Reservation in Southeastern Montana.

On January 11, First Voices Radio lost a friend, Vince Fontaine (Sagkeeng First Nation). Vince was a celebrated, JUNO Award-winning Ojibwe musician and a major force in the Canadian music industry for more than three decades, Vince was the founder of the bands Eagle & Hawk and Indian City. We remember Vince with his Indian City band's song "Star People" from the band's fourth album "Code Red," released in November 2021.

Stephanie is executive director of 7000 Languages, a nonprofit organization that helps Indigenous people around the world teach, learn and sustain their languages through technology. 7000 Languages creates free online language-learning courses in partnership with Indigenous, minority, and refugee communities so they can keep their languages alive.

Stephanie has more than 10 years of experience in both language revitalization and the non-profit sector. She holds a M.A. in Linguistic from the University at Hawai'i Mānoa with an emphasis in Language Documentation and Conservation and has worked with speakers of multiple under-documented languages, including Native languages of California, the Pacific, and Russia. To find out more about 7000 Languages, visit 7000.org.

In the second segment, Tiokasin welcomes Luella Brien. Four Points Media is the dream of Luella, an Apsáalooke journalist with nearly 20 years of experience in the news industry. Luella has over the last decade envisioned a media company that produces the highest quality investigative and public service journalism. Four Points Media, Inc. is the embodiment of that vision.

Luella is the descendant of powerful healers, educators and leaders and, most importantly, storytellers. She has a degree in journalism from the University of Montana, is a 2002 graduate of the Freedom Forum's American Indian Journalism Institute, and was a 2004 Chips Quinn Scholar. Luella has three children and lives on the Crow Indian Reservation in Southeastern Montana.

On January 11, First Voices Radio lost a friend, Vince Fontaine (Sagkeeng First Nation). Vince was a celebrated, JUNO Award-winning Ojibwe musician and a major force in the Canadian music industry for more than three decades, Vince was the founder of the bands Eagle & Hawk and Indian City. We remember Vince with his Indian City band's song "Star People" from the band's fourth album "Code Red," released in November 2021.

He is a former volunteer worker at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in the Australian capital of Canberra. Aboriginal Tent Embassy has been a permanent protest occupation site since 1972 and is a focus for representing the political rights of Aboriginal Australians located.

Robbie is the host of two radio programs at 3CR 855 AM Community Radio - "radical radio, community radio" - in Melbourne, Australia. "Bunji's Fire" is a historically informed, critical analysis of Aboriginal affairs and the ongoing political movement for land rights, treaty, sovereignty and the cessation of genocide, which also features the best of blak music. It's heard Wednesdays in Melbourne, from 11 am to 2 pm. "Blak 'n Deadly" airs Fridays from 11 am to noon in Melbourne. The show informs listeners about the latest news in Indigenous music and theatre with First Nations presenters.

When 3CR Community Radio hit Melbourne's airwaves in 1976, it was Australia's first community-owned and community-run grassroots radio station. Outspoken and independent, the station still gives voice to issues that would otherwise go unheard, and to people striving for political and social justice. Listen to 3CR online at 3cr.org.au. Both of Robbie's shows can be streamed live on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 7 pm Eastern Time in the US.

Munya is an Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Born to an Aboriginal woman and Scottish father, she is proud of her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage. Her Bardi 'saltwater' people come from the Dampier Peninsula and the off-shore islands north of Broome.

Regarded by Melbourne University as a "leading Australian thinker," Munya is an accomplished author and barrister with degrees in anthropology and law. Educated in Australia and the USA, she is fascinated by comparative religions, languages, mythology and science and intrigued by the way in which they interact and inform each other.

Munya's first book, "The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades," explores world mythology surrounding the Pleiades star cluster and the relationship between science and spirituality.  "Seven Sisters" Dreaming serves to empower Aboriginal women and children and Munya embodies its personification. From an early age, she lived a life of social disadvantage, poverty, sexual abuse and not having spoken until the age of five. This book looks at the common themes and wisdom shared by humanity by these stories.

Her second book, "Journey into Dreamtime," is an easy guide to Aboriginal spirituality that explains Dreamtime concepts in a simple way. Munya's life purpose is to create better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal people, leaving behind a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come.

Her third book, "Practical Reconciliation," which she co-authored with Carla Rogers, is a call to action for all Australians to further the cause of Reconciliation by becoming allies to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Munya's long term vision is to create a fairer, more inclusive Australian society, which recognizes and pays respect to its First Nations people.

]]> Wed, 29 Dec 2021 20:00:00 +0000 Tiokasin Ghosthorse Tiokasin Ghosthorse 3510 This week, Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks with Munya Andrews. Munya is an Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Born to an Aboriginal woman and Scottish father, she is proud of her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage. Her Bardi 'saltwater' people come from the Dampier Peninsula and the off-shore islands north of Broome.

Regarded by Melbourne University as a "leading Australian thinker," Munya is an accomplished author and barrister with degrees in anthropology and law. Educated in Australia and the USA, she is fascinated by comparative religions, languages, mythology and science and intrigued by the way in which they interact and inform each other.

Munya's first book, "The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades," explores world mythology surrounding the Pleiades star cluster and the relationship between science and spirituality.  "Seven Sisters" Dreaming serves to empower Aboriginal women and children and Munya embodies its personification. From an early age, she lived a life of social disadvantage, poverty, sexual abuse and not having spoken until the age of five. This book looks at the common themes and wisdom shared by humanity by these stories.

Her second book, "Journey into Dreamtime," is an easy guide to Aboriginal spirituality that explains Dreamtime concepts in a simple way. Munya's life purpose is to create better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal people, leaving behind a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come.

Her third book, "Practical Reconciliation," which she co-authored with Carla Rogers, is a call to action for all Australians to further the cause of Reconciliation by becoming allies to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Munya's long term vision is to create a fairer, more inclusive Australian society, which recognizes and pays respect to its First Nations people.

She is a Nakota Dakota Neheyaw woman from the Kahkewistahaw First Nation in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. Nina lives on reserve raising her youngest who is still at home for a few more years. 

She works in many capacities spiritually and professionally. Nina has a western education as well as traditional knowledge. Nina says, "Mainly, I love advocacy work - it is what drives me. I enjoy life, language, culture, singing and family. Family is very important to me. I am grateful for all who live life protecting the land waters and all living beings. We are here to make sure life is balanced and humble. Being a founder of the Idle No More movement has allowed me to meet many fantastic people who are all like minded. We are a spiritual family."

Idle No More started in November 2012, among Treaty People in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta protesting the Canadian government's dismantling of environmental protection laws, endangering First Nations peoples who live on the land. Born out of face-to-face organizing and popular education, but fluent in social media and new technologies, Idle No More has connected the most remote reserves to each other, to urbanized Indigenous people, and to the non-Indigenous population. 

Led by women, and with a call for a re-founded nation-to-nation relations based on mutual respect, Idle No More rapidly grew into an inclusive, continent-wide network of urban and rural Indigenous working hand in hand with non-Indigenous allies to build a movement for Indigenous rights and the protection of land, water and sky.

The Prairie Island Indian Community, a federally recognized Indian Nation, is located in southeastern Minnesota along the banks of the Mississippi River, approximately 30 miles from the Minneapolis and St. Paul. Tiokasin and President Buck discuss a November 13, 2021 article in the New York Times: "Flooding and Nuclear Waste Eat Away at a Tribe's Ancestral Home."

President Shelley Buck is serving her fifth term on Prairie Island Tribal Council and third term as president. Prior to being elected Tribal Council president, President Buck held other positions within the Prairie Island Indian Community government, including Tribal Council secretary and assistant secretary/treasurer, enrollment clerk in the Prairie Island Enrollment Office and government relations specialist for the Tribe. She has also served on the Pow Wow and Constitution Revision Committees.

She is currently working on a second masters degree in tribal Indian law from the University of Tulsa. President Buck is vice-chair of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council.

In the second half-hour, First Voices Radio remembers the late John Trudell, who left us in 2015. Although his remarks are from 1980, his observations have stood the test of time and still resonate today.

The names of U.S. politicians that John mentions have changed over the years but the issues that Indigenous peoples faced then and now remain the same. John Trudell has been identified as a poet, a fighter for Indigenous rights, an agitator, and many other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suited him, he would have refused to be pinned down. John said, "Actually, I don't consider myself to be any of those things. They are things that I do but they are parts of me. They are not the total."

John Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished in his 69 years, a time in which he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes. More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.

The school was one of the largest Indian residential schools in Canada and operated from the late 19th century to the late 1970s. Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, we were forcibly taken from their families and put into residential schools in Canada. This is also what happened in Native boarding schools in the U.S. during the same time period — children’s hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families. Some didn’t return home for many years and some never returned.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse speaks with Christine Diindiisi McCleave (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe), CEO, National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition about the organization’s support of the introduction of a U.S. Bill for a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies. Christine is a leader and an activist for Indigenous rights advocating for truth, justice and healing for the genocidal policy of U.S. Indian Boarding Schools. She has dedicated her life and work to pursuing truth and healing for the Indigenous survivors of historical trauma at the hands of colonialism and settler-states. Visit https://boardingschoolhealing.org/

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Institute of Justice, domestic violence disproportionately impacts Native Americans and Alaska Natives, with more than 1.5 million Native women and 1.4 million Native men experiencing violence during their lifetime, often by non-Native perpetrators. Domestic violence among Native Americans is not natural or traditional. The domination and subjugation of Native Americans began with colonization and continues today. Colonization was responsible for the theft, occupation, pollution and exploitation of Indigenous lands. Today, Natives who are living in tribal communities on or near lands that are exploited by extractive industries face the highest rates of domestic and sexual violence.

Tiokasin talks with Lori Jump (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), executive director of StrongHearts Native Helpline, a 24/7 culturally appropriate domestic, dating and sexual violence helpline for Native Americans and Alaska Natives. Lori is the former executive director and current board member of Uniting Three Fires Against Violence, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault tribal coalition in Michigan. She served on the Federal Task Force researching Violence Against American Indians and Alaska Native Women and has more than 26 years of tribal advocacy experience in her community.

This is also what happened in Native boarding schools in the U.S. during the same time period — children’s hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families. Some didn’t return home for many years and some never returned.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse speaks with Christine Diindiisi McCleave (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe), CEO, National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition about the organization’s support of the introduction of a U.S. Bill for a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies. Christine is a leader and an activist for Indigenous rights advocating for truth, justice and healing for the genocidal policy of U.S. Indian Boarding Schools. She has dedicated her life and work to pursuing truth and healing for the Indigenous survivors of historical trauma at the hands of colonialism and settler-states.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Institute of Justice, domestic violence disproportionately impacts Native Americans and Alaska Natives, with more than 1.5 million Native women and 1.4 million Native men experiencing violence during their lifetime, often by non-Native perpetrators. Domestic violence among Native Americans is not natural or traditional. The domination and subjugation of Native Americans began with colonization and continues today. Colonization was responsible for the theft, occupation, pollution and exploitation of Indigenous lands. Today, Natives who are living in tribal communities on or near lands that are exploited by extractive industries face the highest rates of domestic and sexual violence.

Tiokasin talks with Lori Jump (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), executive director of StrongHearts Native Helpline, a 24/7 culturally appropriate domestic, dating and sexual violence helpline for Native Americans and Alaska Natives. Lori is the former executive director and current board member of Uniting Three Fires Against Violence, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault tribal coalition in Michigan. She served on the Federal Task Force researching Violence Against American Indians and Alaska Native Women and has more than 26 years of tribal advocacy experience in her community. StrongHearts Native Helpline can be reached by calling or texting 1-844-762-8483 or clicking on the chat icon at strongheartshelpline.org.

Jenni got her start as a broadcaster for CBS News affiliates then segue-wayed into public TV and radio, including a stint a tNational Native News. Along the way, Jenni made a few indie docs, returned to school, and moved to the Middle East to cover global affairs for Al Jazeera where she also traveled throughout the Indigenous world.

Jenni has been working independently since 2015, where her my award-winning reporting has been published by such outlets as The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Center for Investigative Reporting, and PBS News Hour, to name a few.

Jenni has an MA in international politics from Columbia Journalism School with a concentration in Indigenous human rights policy. She's a founding member of the Indigenous Media Caucus, and resides on her ancestral homelands in the American Southwest where she's Kawaik'a, a tribal citizen of Laguna Pueblo, Big Turkey clan.

Jenni and Tiokasin discuss her most recent newsletter story, "Gabby and Us" and several other topics stemming from this piece: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, domestic violence, mainstream news media bias, "Missing White Woman Syndrome," racism, land acknowledgements and more.

September 22 marked one year since First Voices Radio friend Andre's untimely death in Istanbul, Turkey. Tiokasin remembers his immense contributions: many books of non-fiction and fiction; documentary films; hundreds of essays and media appearances.

We got to know Andre on "First Voices Radio" in early 2017 and from that time on, he became a frequent and generous guest, always making time to come on our show and reporting to us on the issues, and the life and death situations of the worlds forgotten, poor and oppressed peoples, including, of course, the worlds Indigenous peoples.

Andre's new book, published today on his first-year remembrance by Badak Merah publishers in Jakarta Indonesia, is titled Defend China 2: Why the West is so Keen to Slander China. It is available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle in English, Russian and Chinese (simplified and traditional).

In the second segment, Tiokasin Ghosthorse speaks with returning guest Zumila Wobaga, or Charmaine White Face. She is Oglala Tituwan Oceti Sakowin. Zumila is a great-grandmother, scientist, and writer. She can be reached at cwhiteface@gmail.com.

Tiokasin and Zumila will talk about her recent essay, "Kimkimila Wi (The Butterfly Sun)," discussing this special time of year, a time that we need to be seeking balance in our lives. Google her to find more of her writings.

Dylan, a filmmaker, grew up on the Duck Valley Reservation in Nevada among the Paiute and Shoshone people.

They rode across the northern Plains from Crow Creek, South Dakota to Whitestone Hill State Historic Site, 23 miles southeast of Kulm, Dickey County, North Dakota. They arrived on September 3.

This is the second of four planned Rides held in remembrance of ancestors who were at Whitestone on September 3-5,1863, when white soldiers led by General Alfred Sully attacked a tipi camp of Yanktonai, Dakota, Hunkpapa Lakota and Blackfeet (Sihasapa Lakota) as part of a military mission to punish participants of the Dakota War of 1862. Between 100 and 300 Native men, women and children were massacred or captured.

Dr. Paulette Steeves was born in Whitehorse Yukon Territories and grew up in Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada. She is an Associate Professor in Sociology at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. Dr. Steeves holds an adjunct faculty position at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.

Her research focus is on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere, reclaiming and rewriting Indigenous histories and healing and reconciliation. In her research Dr. Steeves argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier.  Dr. Steeves argues that counter stories to Western narratives of Indigenous histories address issues that remain critical to Indigenous people — sovereignty, self-determination, healing and reconciliation.

She has stated that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation transforming public consciousness and confronting and challenging racism. Long-standing academic denial of the deep Indigenous fosters racism and discrimination among the general or Settler population.Re-writing Indigenous histories, framed through Indigenous knowledge, will create discussions that counter racism and discrimination.

Dr. Steeve’s first book The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas was published July 1, 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press.

They’ve been participating in a months-long National Strike against the government, demanding widespread change in its social economic program, its response to the COVID pandemic, and respect for the defense of human rights. From the outset, the Colombian State tried to block the protests, first through a court order forbidding the protests in Bogotá. Then, as Colombians refused to obey this order, security forces responded with violence. The results have been alarming. While the massive scale of the protests have died down considerably in recent weeks, Colombian human rights groups are demanding justice for the victims of what they’re calling state-sponsored repression. With that in mind, an international fact-finding mission is currently in Colombia to investigate some of these developments throughout the country. Hofstra University professor Mario Murillo is accompanying the mission, and he joins us now from Bogotá. Mario is professor of Journalism and Latin American studies at Hofstra and the Vice Dean of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication. Mario has written about and reported on Colombia for many years and is a regular guest and collaborator with “First Voices Radio.”

 

Our returning guest in the second segment is Max Wilbert. In January, Max launched an occupation of a proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass in northern Nevada with another of our frequent guests and commentators, Will Falk. Max is a writer, organizer and wilderness guide, and has been part of grassroots political work for nearly 20 years. He is an author and his essays have been published many places, including CounterPunch and Dissident Voice. His latest book is “Bright Green Lies: How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It.” Max has been involved in fighting both Canadian and Utah tar sands, in resisting industrial-scale water extraction and deforestation in Nevada, in advocating for the last remaining wild buffalo in Yellowstone, in solidarity work with Indigenous communities in British Columbia, and in campaigns against sexual violence.

Her guest for the full hour is Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie (Cree).

Since her groundbreaking debut, It's My Way! (1964), Buffy has been a trailblazer and a tireless advocate, an innovative artist, and a disrupter of the status quo.

Buffy has spent her whole life creating, and her artistry, humanitarian efforts, and Indigenous leadership have made her a unique force in the music industry. In 1969, she made one of the world's first electronic vocal albums; in 1982 she became the only Indigenous person to win an Oscar; she spent five years on Sesame Street where she became the first woman to breastfeed on national television.

She's been blacklisted and silenced. She's written pop standards sung and recorded by the likes of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. She penned "Universal Soldier," the definitive anti-war anthem of the 20th century.

Buffy Sainte-Marie is an icon who keeps one foot firmly planted on either side of the North American border, in the unsurrendered territories that comprise Canada and the USA.

]]> During this special repeat episode of "First Voices Radio," Anne Keala Kelly sits in for Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse. Her guest for the full hour is Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie (Cree).

Since her groundbreaking debut, It's My Way! (1964), Buffy has been a trailblazer and a tireless advocate, an innovative artist, and a disrupter of the status quo.

Buffy has spent her whole life creating, and her artistry, humanitarian efforts, and Indigenous leadership have made her a unique force in the music industry. In 1969, she made one of the world's first electronic vocal albums; in 1982 she became the only Indigenous person to win an Oscar; she spent five years on Sesame Street where she became the first woman to breastfeed on national television.

She's been blacklisted and silenced. She's written pop standards sung and recorded by the likes of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. She penned "Universal Soldier," the definitive anti-war anthem of the 20th century.

Buffy Sainte-Marie is an icon who keeps one foot firmly planted on either side of the North American border, in the unsurrendered territories that comprise Canada and the USA.

She graduated in 1977 from the Port Angeles High School and she then went on to work with the Olympic National Forest Service devoting 12 years of service working with the fire crews and earning her way to one of the top crew leaders for the area. She has served as Chairwoman for 16 years. Chairwoman Charles played a vital role in the recovery of Tse-whit-zen, one of the largest archaeological recoveries in the Northwest; she took a lead role in the negotiation process for the Ancient Klallam Village on behalf of her people and their ancestors, and as a leader for her community she did a great job in upholding Klallam Cultural Values. Chairwoman Charles has been involved in the culture of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe most of her life, she is an active supporter of the annual Tribal Canoe Journey as well as the language program, Indian Education and honoring Tribal veterans, the youth and the elders of the Tribe.

In the second segment is Vince Fontaine. Vince has deep roots from his Ojibwe heritage and the community of Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba.
For more than 25 years, Vince has been at the forefront of Indigenous music making in Canada. Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the multifaceted, award-winning and visionary Fontaine literally has done it all. He is a guitarist, songwriter, music builder/producer, festival curator/organizer/artistic director, film director and entertainment business owner. He also is one of Canada’s most highly celebrated Indigenous composers. Among his most significant and well-known ventures, Vince is the founder and lead guitarist of the legendary, award-winning roots-rock band Eagle & Hawk, one of the longest-running success stories in Canadian music history. Vince’s music collective, the award-winning Indian City, which he formed in 2012, has released three albums to date with the fourth, “Code Red,” scheduled for release this coming October.

A few weeks ago, the remains of 215 children were found at the Kamloops Indian School in British Columbia, Canada.The Kamloops Indian Residential school was one of the largest in Canada and operated from the late 19th century to the late 1970s. The school was opened and run by the Catholic Church until the federal government took it over in the late 1960s. Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, we were forcibly taken from their families and put into residential schools in Canada. Same as what happened in Native boarding schools in the United States, their hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families — some didn’t return home for many years. Countless children suffered terrible indignities, mistreatment, and horrors, including beatings, rape and other forms of sexual violence, disease, and even death. Residential school experiences continue to affect many survivors today. Doug George Kanentiio was one of those students. Doug attended the Mohawk Institute in Branford, Ontario, and wrote about it in a recent column, “Our Mohawk Councils Failed to Protect the Residential School Children,” published by indianz.com on June 14.

Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law. Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr. on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Doug is currently vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory with his wife, the renowned Grammy-award winning artist Joanne Shenandoah.

]]> Doug George-Kanentiio joins Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse for the full hour. A few weeks ago, the remains of 215 children were found at the Kamloops Indian School in British Columbia, Canada.The Kamloops Indian Residential school was one of the largest in Canada and operated from the late 19th century to the late 1970s. The school was opened and run by the Catholic Church until the federal government took it over in the late 1960s. Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, we were forcibly taken from their families and put into residential schools in Canada. Same as what happened in Native boarding schools in the United States, their hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families — some didn’t return home for many years. Countless children suffered terrible indignities, mistreatment, and horrors, including beatings, rape and other forms of sexual violence, disease, and even death. Residential school experiences continue to affect many survivors today. Doug George Kanentiio was one of those students. Doug attended the Mohawk Institute in Branford, Ontario, and wrote about it in a recent column, “Our Mohawk Councils Failed to Protect the Residential School Children,” published by indianz.com on June 14.

Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law. Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr. on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Doug is currently vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory with his wife, the renowned Grammy-award winning artist Joanne Shenandoah.

Charmaine is Oglala Tituwan Oceti Sakowin. She is a great-grandmother, scientist and writer. Tiokasin and Charmaine discuss her column, “Fighting for Religious Freedom,” which was published in Native Sun News Today in Rapid City, South Dakota on May 20, 2021. “Only 43 years ago, in 1978, the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA) was passed in the United States Congress. That’s not that long ago,” writes Charmaine. "Many of us were adults who remember this. The fact that such a Bill had to be written in the first place, and then ultimately passed was astonishing because it exposed the hypocrisy of the United States. The establishment of the United States and the U.S. Constitution were based on Religious Freedom, as long as it was Christianity. That is not Freedom."

In the second segment, Tiokasin talks with Hildá Länsman (Sámi) and Erkki Feodoroff (Sámi), two of the four musicians from the band Gàjanas, hailing from Inari-Utsjoki in Finland’s far north. Hildá is the band’s lead vocalist and joiker and Erkki plays bass (the other two band members are Nicholas Francett, guitar and Kevin Francett, drums). Gájanas, or “echo,” performs northern Sámi ethno-progressive music. Echoes of Sámi tradition encounter the present moment and form a colorful combination in their music, a dialogue between traditional and modern Sámi music. In addition, their music emphasizes the strong nature connection of the Sámi people. Hildá Länsman and Viivi Maria Saarenkylä make up the duo VILDÁ. Hildá and Viivi bring things together via joik and accordion in a dynamic and refreshing way, combining mystical yoiks, swinging rhythms and improvisation. Influenced by contemporary pop music and Finnish folk music, VILDÁ takes listener to the northern fells where the winds of the Sámiland blow. Gàjanas and VILDÁ have been nominated this year for a Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award in the category of “International Indigenous Artist-Group Recording of the Year.” The Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards will take place on June 12 at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

George is an artist from Aotearoa. He is of Scottish, German and Maori descent and has been a full-time practitioner of arts for 35 years. George’s works range from delicate pearl shell, bone and jade amulets to life-size plexiglass sculptures and multi-story high polystyrene depictions of Polynesian demi-gods and Maori culture heroes. The last 20 years of art practice has been spent globally, ranging from the world's prestigious art institutions and treasure houses through to communities of all ethnicities and socio-economic status. George has created more than 100 projects to date, including: the British Museum, National Museum of Scotland, Museum of Geneva, Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, British Columbia, Museum of Contemporary Art in Taiwan, United Nations Forum for Indigenous People, Tijibao Cultural Centre in Nouméa, New Caledonia and many more. George carries the thousands’ year-old art traditions of his ancestors that promise to both expand life and enhance survival.

In this interview George discusses his life’s journey ranging from children to the elders to the ancestors — the concepts of time, practicality with Earth, throughout his art carvings to his art carvings to the political aspects of working at the United Nations in the early 2000s. Tiokasin and George discuss the importance of Indigenous Peoples who were largely ignored by the dominant societies; and if it weren’t for previous generations who didn’t need the dominant societies and being noticed by Mother Earth let alone modern day society. The Maori Nation’s culture is vibrant, up-to-date and never archaic — same as many Indigenous peoples thoughts and ways of living with the Earth. Listen to George as he shared his many gifts!

A correspondent for National Public Radio’s Science Desk, Michaeleen was part of the 2015 team that earned a George Foster Peabody award for its coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Prior to joining NPR, Michaeleen was an editor at the journal Cell, where she wrote about the science behind pop culture. Michaeleen has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from the University of California, Davis. She lives with her husband, daughter, and German shepherd, Mango, in San Francisco. Tiokasin will be talking with Michaeleen about her first book, Hunt, Gather, Parent, which was an instant New York Times bestseller.

In the second segment, we hear from regular guest Manuel Rozental, who was interviewed on Friday, April 30 by Mario A. Murillo. This is an international story where the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be once again on the rise. In Colombia as of last Friday, over 500 people died in one day, as a result of Covid-19. It was the worst daily total since the pandemic began last year, and is the equivalent of 5,000 people dying in one day here in the U.S. And while the crisis continues, Colombia is witnessing massive protests in large cities and small towns throughout the country, protesting the government’s proposal for a comprehensive tax reform bill that will adversely impact working people. This past Sunday, Colombia President Iván Duque withdrew the controversial tax reform bill following four days of huge protests across the country. In a televised statement, he said his government would work to produce new proposals and seek consensus with other parties and organizations. He had previously insisted tax hikes were needed to respond to the economic crisis generated by the pandemic. But tens of thousands of people took to the streets in anger at the bill. Unions, who organized the protests, said it would disproportionately impact on the poorest people who were already struggling with the economic impact of Covid-19. This comes as Indigenous communities in Colombia continue to face ongoing threats to their way of life. A number of Indigenous leaders were killed in recent months, which has concerned activists in Colombia and around the world. One of them is Colombian physician and veteran human rights activist Manuel Rozental. During this interview Manuel first explained what the general strike was calling for and how it was tied to the Indigenous movement in Colombia. Mario A. Murillo — a regular guest, commentator and contributor to First Voices Radio — is a journalist, author and Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film in the School of Communication at Hofstra University.

Julia is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. She is the director of “Sea of Life” and “Bright Green Lies.” “Bright Green Lies” — which is also the title of the new book by Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith and Max Wilbert — investigates the change in focus of the mainstream environmental movement, from its original concern with protecting nature, to its current obsession with powering an unsustainable way of life. The film exposes the lies and fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or green consumerism will save us from climate change. Tackling the most pressing issues of our time will require us to look beyond the mainstream technological solutions and ask deeper questions about what needs to change. The film will premiere online on Earth Day, April 22. For more information about the film and how to buy tickets for the online premiere, visit brightgreenlies.com.

Míċeál is an Irish Republican activist who was born in Connemara, Ireland, a native Irish-speaking area. Following travels during his earlier years, including time in Australia and learning about the Indigenous people in that country, he moved to the U.S., and by the 1960s settled in New Jersey, where he lives today. The situation in Ireland was making the news in the U.S. back in those days; and Míċeál became involved in supporting the struggle for Irish freedom. He was National Chairman of the IPOW (Irish Prisoner of War) Hunger Strike Committee during the Irish Hunger Strike in 1981. Over the years he was involved in a number of fundraising and commemorative events to promote the cause of Irish Freedom. Also, during this time, Míċeál learned about the plight of the Indigenous people here and the great generosity of the Choctaw people, who collected money to help the starving people in Ireland during An t-Ár Mór,” the Great Genocide (also called the potato famine). Míċeál says, “I am awed by the extreme generosity shown to my ancestors by the Native Americans when they were enduring their own horrors.”
Míċeál has today undertaken a project on behalf of the Navajo Nation Covid Relief Fund in an effort to raise awareness. In solidarity with Native nations whose ancestors were forced to walk the “Trails of Tears” in the mid-19th century, Míċeál started his own walk on Thanksgiving eve 2020. “On days that I walk, I am doing 10-12 miles per day toward my goal of 5,045 miles,” he says. Míċeál ’s progress is posted regularly on his Facebook page: “Irish 4 Navajo,” where he also highlights the plight of the Navajo once again, this time in the face of the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Stephany was born in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and raised in Virginia. She became aware of this culture’s capacity for mindless destruction as the beaches and forests she grew up in were destroyed by so-called development. Stephany has been an earth activist since the late 1980s, has apprenticed as a wildlife rehabilitator, and is a student of horses. She started following the work of the Buffalo Field Campaign in 1997. In January 2004, she moved to Montana and has been on the front lines with the Buffalo Field Campaign ever since. Stephany has been a member of Deep Green Resistance since 2015 and stands in solidarity with those—human and non-human—who want to bring an end to industrial civilization and the culture that is killing our planet. 

In the second half: On May 7, 2020 an international online gathering and sharing of Indigenous knowledge and healing was held with Original Nations of the Western Hemisphere in light of the ancient prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, which is of great impact and sometimes harsh reality with Mother Earth. This gathering was called the International Day of Blessing for Mother Earth, a call to action and international invitation to connect through and with Indigenous Elders and knowledge keepers with an intention to learn, grow, heal and return to Wotawacin Oṫokohe (completion of our blue energy). Claude Tokala Hocokan Waokiya Ob Mani Two Elk feels the urgency of our moment and has decided to do something about it. Animated by the knowledge of his ancestors and spiritual mentors and working closely with psychologist Dr. Jami Bartgis (Cherokee Nation), Tokala is on a global mission to heal us all and our planet of our collective traumas. Tokala and Jami, with partners from North, Central and South America, have started a network of international collaborators and volunteers dedicated to integrally improving health, well-being, and equity for Indigenous peoples of the Americas. By supporting Indigenous interventions across borders, through prayer, activism, art, education, and outreach, they are working toward the unity of the people and for everyone’s return to a healthful self and a healthy environment. This pandemic and its message to the planet has underscored the urgency of their work and they are gathering to offer blessings for the healing of our Mother (Earth) and her people.

We hear first from the Wicasa Wakan Richard Moves Camp of the Oglala Lakota in Pine Ridge, South Dakota and then we will move to the southern continent to Ecuador and the Quiche Elder Angel Tipan Santillan.

Konkankoh has more than 40 years of experience across social entrepreneurship development sectors in Africa and Europe. His career spans senior leadership and entrepreneurial roles in social transformation, environmental management, sustainable development and consulting. Since 1996 when Konkankoh registered Better World Cameroon (BWC), he has been leading a green revolution and youth development concept based on Systems thinking, an innovative method of resolving the cultural challenges pushing thousands of youth to migrate out of Africa. Konkankoh was evicted from his country in 2018 by the civil war and lives today in Portugal where he mentors a group of young change-makers, developing new societal platforms in the domains of education, social inclusion, healthcare, civil society governance, and livelihoods. Konkankoh’s youth development platform Ndanifor Permaculture Ecovillage that was recently burnt down by French Cameroon military included regenerative agriculture systems supported by global philanthropic collaborators. In parallel to Ecovillage design work, Konkankoh is grooming Global Ecovillage Network, Africa’s next-generation leadership engaged in developing a regenerative education system. Faced with the challenges of the Genocide in Ambazonia and COVID-19 pandemic, Konkankoh focuses his attention on reconnecting refugees to the land using Permaculture and looking for support to accompany them with seed funding. Konkankoh’s organization Better World is a not-for-profit incubator and accelerator focused on non-formal education. Konkankoh is a social Innovation advisor to Defend the Sacred Alliance. For more information, visit: https://betterworld-cameroon.com/ and https://spiritofndanifor.wordpress.com/

Koh is a journalist and Communications Manager for BWC. Koh has worked in print and broadcast media in Cameroon but is now involved in freelance, digital media journalism, and activism since moving to Portugal in 2019 due to the severe crackdown on journalists reporting the atrocities happening in Southern Cameroons. Koh has been with BWC for more than 9 years and participates in the organization’s efforts to improve the lives of women and young people through regenerative education and entrepreneurship. Koh’s current work centers around creating awareness in Europe about the ongoing crisis in his country to push for international support towards an end to the war. Koh is also the co-founder of two small startup companies in Cameroon, Njangi and K and K media. Koh is passionate about storytelling, art and technology, believing they're key areas that will take Africa to the level where it is no longer portrayed in Western media narratives as a place of poverty and disease, but where Africans can tell their own stories and forge their path, void of post-colonial shackles and western exploitation.

She is focused on preventing new uranium mining, nuclear waste dumping, and transport of radioactive materials in the southwestern United States. Leona co-founded and works with Haul No! (www.fb.com/HaulNo), Radiation Monitoring Project (www.radmonitoring.org), and Nuclear Issues Study Group (www.fb.com/NuclearIssuesStudyGroup). She also contributes to the international initiative Don’t Nuke The Climate (https://dont-nuke-the-climate.org) which addresses nuclear energy as a global climate threat. Leona is from the Navajo Nation and lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.


In the second segment, Tiokasin speaks with Andy Beck. Andy grew up in the town of Perth in Scotland, and after graduating from Edinburgh University spent the early part of his career working as a software tester and a Technical Writer in several software houses and financial firms. Andy is also a lifelong musician who sang in choirs and played classical violin in school orchestras before graduating to playing keyboards in several rock bands. He currently enjoys teaching himself to play guitar. Growing up in a small town situated within striking distance of the great outdoors has given Andy a keen interest in ecology and the natural world. He is a writer of fiction and recently finished a novel called “Arran,” which is an attempt to make sense of the age we live in — particular the ecological and climate crises — through the eyes of its five main characters. After moving about from place to place, including several years as an immigrant in Toronto, Canada, Andy is now back in his home town of Perth, Scotland.

Stephany was born in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and raised in Virginia. She became aware of this culture’s capacity for mindless destruction as the beaches and forests she grew up in were destroyed by so-called development. Stephany has been an earth activist since the late 1980s, has apprenticed as a wildlife rehabilitator, and is a student of horses. She started following the work of the Buffalo Field Campaign in 1997. In January 2004, she moved to Montana and has been on the front lines with the Buffalo Field Campaign ever since. Stephany has been a member of Deep Green Resistance since 2015 and stands in solidarity with those—human and non-human—who want to bring an end to industrial civilization and the culture that is killing our planet. Stephany counts among her heroes, Derrick Jensen, John Trudell, and the co-founders of Buffalo Field Campaign Mike Mease and Rosalie Little Thunder.

In the second segment, we have updates on the occupation of Thacker Pass in northern Nevada. In January, a group of activists, including our returning guests Max Wilbert and Will Falk, launched an occupation of a proposed mine at Thacker Pass. Lithium Americas corporation plans to rip open 5,000 acres of this land to extract lithium for consumer products. Max Wilbert is a writer, organizer and wilderness guide, and has been part of grassroots political work for nearly 20 years. He’s an author and his essays have been published many places, including CounterPunch and Dissident Voice. Max has been involved in fighting both Canadian and Utah tar sands, in resisting industrial-scale water extraction and deforestation in Nevada, in advocating for the last remaining wild buffalo in Yellowstone, in solidarity work with Indigenous communities in British Columbia, and in campaigns against sexual violence. Will Falk is a biophilic writer, lawyer and the author of “How Dams Fall: Stories the Colorado River Told Me,” published by Homebound Publications. The book describes his relationship with the Colorado River through his involvement in the first-ever American federal lawsuit seeking rights for a major ecosystem, the Colorado River. Will has published numerous articles and essays through Earth Island Journal, the Dark Mountain Project, CounterPunch, and many others. More about Will at willfalk.org.

Darryl is associate professor in the Department of Social Justice and Community Studies at Saint Mary’s University in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia). His book, "Distorted Descent: White Claims to Indigenous Identity," explores the many efforts made by white Americans and Canadians to claim an “Indigenous”

identity. He and Tiokasin discuss Darryl’s most recent research demonstrating how Franco-Americans with no Abenaki ancestry have created a series of "Abenaki tribes" in Vermont and New Hampshire.


At the bottom of the hour, Tiokasin pays tribute to great friend and colleague Laura Waterman Wittstock (Seneca, Heron Clan) who recently passed away at the age of 83. Laura, a long time and extremely well regarded Native journalist, was the host and producer of "First Person Radio" on public/community radio KFAI FM in Minneapolis, MN for many years. She was also an educator and founder of the non-profit Migizi Communications in Minneapolis - giving opportunities and encouragement to young Native communicators. Over the years, Laura joined Tiokasin as a guest on “First Voices Radio” and Tiokasin also joined Laura on her show. "First Voices Radio" will miss her very much.


In the second segment, Tiokasin welcomes back Max Wilbert, a writer, organizer and wilderness guide. A third-generation dissident, Max grew up on Duwamish land in post–WTO Seattle. He is the author of two books, including the forthcoming “Bright Green Lies: How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It,” to be published by Monkfish this year. Max’s essays have been published in Earth Island Journal, Counterpunch and Dissident Voice, and have been translated into several languages. Max has been part of grassroots political work for nearly 20 years. He has been involved in fighting both Canadian and Utah tar sands, in resisting industrial-scale water extraction and deforestation in Nevada, in advocating for the last remaining wild buffalo in Yellowstone, in solidarity work with Indigenous communities in British Columbia, and in campaigns against sexual violence. Last Friday, a group of activists, including Max, launched an occupation of a proposed mine in northern Nevada. Lithium Americas corporation plans to rip open 5,000 acres of this land to extract lithium for consumer products. For more information on this campaign, visit https://protectthackerpass.org.

Adele Vrana has led business development and partnerships initiatives to help build a more plural and diverse communities in her native country of Brazil and globally.

Adele holds a B.A. in International Relations and a Master’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Sao Paulo. When not re-imagining what the internet of the future would look like and advocating for that online, Adele spends most of her time raising two feminist boys, reading black feminists from the Global South, and spending time with her friends from close and afar.

Anasuya Sengupta has led initiatives in India and the USA, across the global South, and internationally for more than 20 years, to amplify marginalized voices in virtual and physical worlds. Anasuya is the former Chief Grant-making Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, former Regional Program Director at the Global Fund for Women, and a 2017 Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow.

Anasuya holds a Masters of Philosophy in Development Studies from the University of Oxford, where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar. She also has a B.A. in Economics (Honors) from Delhi University.

The Simply Smiles model of foster care is a new and progressive one that provides a desperately needed, scalable and culturally appropriate response for Native children in Oaxaca, Mexico and on the Cheyenne River Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. In 2002, Bryan was a professional mountain climbing guide recovering from a climbing injury when he began volunteering at a Mexican orphanage. His experiences there inspired him to create Simply Smiles. Bryan was given the Lakota name “Cante Waste Wicasa” which means “Kind Hearted Man.” Backed by tribal elders, the tribal council, and the local community, the Simply Smiles Children’s Village on the Cheyenne River Reservation is serving the immediate needs of the most-at-risk Lakota children, but also scaffolding a brighter future by guiding today’s most vulnerable children to become tomorrow’s strongest and most influential adults. Simply Smiles children’s villages foster leaders, role models, and citizens of the world. Bryan says: “Simply Smiles has an important role to play in reaching a brighter future. But when the success story is written it should not be a story of this organization. It should be the story of how Native children wanted something different, something better, and with a little help, worked to achieve it. An organization like ours should be felt not seen. We should be a wind at your back.” More information at https://www.simplysmiles.org/.

]]> Indigenous Women, Indigenous Wisdom, Navajo Nation No 11/18/20 - Robert Jensen, John Trudell 10 10 11/18/20 - Robert Jensen, John Trudell full Buzzsprout-6504838 https://share.transistor.fm/s/76746ade On this week’s episode, “First Voices Radio” digs deep into its 28-year-old Archive and brings listeners other interpretations and observations surrounding the American holiday known as “Thanksgiving.”


Part 1:

This interview was first aired in 2005. Robert Jensen is an emeritus professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Austin and a founding board member of the Third Coast Activist Resource Center. In his writing and teaching, Dr. Jensen draws on a variety of critical approaches to media and power. He has addressed questions of race through a critique of white privilege and institutionalized racism. Dr. Jensen and Tiokasin discuss the history of Thanksgiving, based on themes in his book, “The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege” (City Lights, 2005).


Part 2:

This is a special broadcast of the late John Trudell’s “Thanksgiving Day Address.” Although Trudell's remarks are from 1980, listeners will be amazed at how his observations have stood the test of time and still ring very true to today. The names of U.S. politicians that Trudell mentions have changed over the years but the issues that Native people faced then and now remain the same. John Trudell (1946-2015) has been identified as a poet, a fighter for Native American rights, an agitator, and lots of other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suits him he would have refused to be pinned down. “Actually I don’t consider myself to be any of those things. They’re things that I do…but they’re parts of me. They’re not the total.” Indeed, Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished in his 69 years, a time in which he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes.

Part 1:

This interview was first aired in 2005. Robert Jensen is an emeritus professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Austin and a founding board member of the Third Coast Activist Resource Center. In his writing and teaching, Dr. Jensen draws on a variety of critical approaches to media and power. He has addressed questions of race through a critique of white privilege and institutionalized racism. Dr. Jensen and Tiokasin discuss the history of Thanksgiving, based on themes in his book, “The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege” (City Lights, 2005).

Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel’s been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He delivers an update and analysis on what’s happening in Chile and other parts of Latin America, as it concerns Indigenous people. Tiokasin also talks with Manuel about Chileans overwhelmingly approving, at the polls, the doing away of the Constitution drafted and approved under the military regime of Augusto Pinochet and gave the green light to the creation of a Constitutional Assembly.

According to official data by Chile's official electoral body, with 45.24% of the vote counted, 77.85% percent of the voters checked the Approval box, an overwhelming figure in contrast to the 22.15% percent who chose to legitimize the current Constitution, which was supported by a majority of right-wing parties. Chileans also overwhelmingly chose a constitutional convention as the method to create a new constitution.

Also, thousands of Chilean citizens cast their votes in 65 countries. Argentina, the United States, Spain, Canada, and Australia were the nations most represented. More than 80% of voters overseas supported approval for a new constitution. This is the first time in the South American nation’s history that citizens are asked whether or not they want a new Magna Carta. Citizens also voted to create a Constitutional Convention to draft the new fundamental law. Manuel also shows the political relationship Chile has with the U.S. and role of the current president-elect Joe Biden.

Tilsen, Cary Morin full Buzzsprout-6181261 https://share.transistor.fm/s/358ed465 Mark K. Tilsen Mark is an Oglala Lakota poet and educator from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. At Standing Rock, he stepped into the role of a direct action trainer and police liaison. Since then he has led trainings and teach in’s about the lessons learned from Standing Rock.

He recently spent six months at L’eau Est La Vie Camp helping fight against the Bayou Bridge Pipeline which is the tail end of the Dakota Access Pipeline ending in Louisiana. Recently Mark has been working with the Mni Luzahan Creek Patrol to provide basic security to our unhoused relatives along Rapid Creek in Rapid City, South Dakota. For more information and ways to help, please visit www.mniluzahan.org. The organization is also on Facebook.

Award-winning artist Cary Morin’s new album, “Dockside Saints,” was released in August 2020. Cary has won numerous awards for his work, particularly for his 2017 release, “Cradle to the Grave.” Born in Billings, Montana, Cary is a Crow tribal member and son of an air force officer.

He spent the bulk of his youth in Great Falls, Montana, where he cut his teeth picking guitar standards at neighborhood get-togethers, before relocating to northern Colorado. There, his musical career hit the ground running with The Atoll, a band he founded in 1989 and that toured nationally, gaining a devoted following. Later, he achieved international acclaim with The Pura Fé Trio, for whom the single “Ole Midlife Crisis,” which Morin wrote and performed with Pura Fé, placed at number 17 on France’s iTunes blues chart.

With The Atoll and The Pura Fé Trio, and as a solo artist, Morin has played celebrated venues across the globe, including Paris Jazz Festival, Winter Park Jazz Festival, Folk Alliance International, River People Festival, Shakori Hill Festival, the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and most recently Rochefort En Accords festival in France and The Copenhagen Blues Festival.

Described as “one of the best acoustic pickers on the scene today,” Cary brings together the great musical traditions of America and beyond like no other. With deft fingerstyle guitar and vocals that alternately convey melodic elation and gritty world-weariness, Cary crafts an inimitable style often characterized as acoustic Native Americana with qualities of blues, bluegrass, jazz, jam, reggae, and dance.

]]> indigenous, first voices, native american, Indigenous artists No 10/21/20 - Chief Terrance Paul, Antonia Perre 6 6 10/21/20 - Chief Terrance Paul, Antonia Perre full Buzzsprout-6005155 https://share.transistor.fm/s/d6909d11 Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks with Chief Terrance Paul, Co-Chair and Fisheries Lead for the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs.

Chief Paul and Tiokasin discuss the current situation involving the Mi’kmaw’s treaty rights to fish (in this particular case, gather lobsters) and the violence — imposed by a small and extremely racist minority — that has erupted and escalated since mid-September 2020 causing damage to Mi’kmaw property and endangering Mi’kmaw lives.

Chief Paul brings listeners up to date on all of the latest developments and the Mi’kmaw peoples’ efforts to work with the Canadian federal government to put a stop to the harassment and violence. People — not just Native people — all over the world are watching what is happening and lending support to the Mi’kmaw people in their struggle to maintain their treaty rights.
 
Chief Paul has held the position of Chief of Membertou First Nation since 1984. During this time, Chief Paul has guided his community and administration into one of the most open and efficient Native communities in Canada.

He has served on numerous boards and task forces, and is one of the original founders of the National Capital Corporation Association (NACCA), which started out as seven Aboriginal corporations and has grown to 50 Aboriginal financial institutions across Canada.

Chief Paul started his career with the Boston Indian Council, where he received his background training in Finance and Management. He began as a Job Placement Officer and was quickly promoted to Director of Finance before being named president of the council. Upon returning home to Membertou, Chief Paul worked as the Economic Development Officer and Band Manager before being elected as Chief.

Chief Paul has achieved many accomplishments in his role as Chief, including doubling the land base for the Membertou Reserve. He also assisted Donald Marshall, Jr., in his successful Supreme Court defense of the Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights to fish, which resulted in approximately $600 million in the Atlantic for the Mi'kmaq. In 2012, Chief Paul was inducted into Junior Achievement Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame recognizing his accomplishments and contributions to Nova Scotia.
 
Second Interview:
 
Tiokasin talks with Antonia Perre, a clinical herbalist, gardener and artist who was born and raised in New York City. They have apprenticed with several herbalists around the Northeast, Central and South America, and Thailand.

They graduated from Bard College where they studied environmental and urban studies in 2015 and Arborvitae School of Traditional Herbal Medicine in 2019. They are a community organizer, gardener, food and environmental justice educator.

They are also the co-founder of collectives: Brujas and Herban Cura. They are passionate to share their knowledge with other folks especially in urban centers, in order to interrupt notions of individualism and separatism from nature and grow towards collaborative and symbiotic communities.

Matthew's latest project is “Music for The Mother,” the debut album featuring the Ancestral Teyuna Music from the Sierra Nevada De Santa Marta in Colombia.

The album is produced by Matthew’s record label, “Underwater Panther Coalition," a label committed to supporting Indigenous rights and celebrating ancestral musical traditions by releasing projects based on time-honored traditions of gratitude, appreciation, respect and reverence for Mother Earth.

The album is particularly special as it's the first record of its kind and first time a female from Teyuna has ever been recorded. Each track is recorded by the spiritual leaders and promotes healing and cultural integrity through song and ceremony. This release serves as an important defining moment of preservation for these Indigenous peoples of the mountain region.

Underwater Panther Coalition shares 50 percent of profits with the Indigenous groups affiliated with each project.

]]> Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse begins this week’s broadcast honoring a great friend of “First Voices Radio” — Andre Vltchek.

Andre, who was a regular guest for several years, died suddenly on September 22 in Istanbul, Turkey. Andre was a Russian-born author, documentary filmmaker, philosopher, artist and staunch anti-Imperialist investigative journalist. His enormous outpouring of work included 50 books, many documentary films, and hundreds of articles, radio and TV appearances.

Andre was a true friend who carried our stories and struggles out to the world. We will miss him. https://andrevltchek.weebly.com/
