TITLE: "The Backwards Upside-Down World."

 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EPISODE SUMMARY: The United States is in an upheaval. With a new and decisively corupt presidential administration and a congress dominated by equally corupt republicans and do-nothing democrats, the already strained relationship between Indian country and this government is at an all time high. Is this episode we examine some of these problems. We look at how the removal of federal grants by this administration is affecting tribal programs. We also do a deep dive into trumps deportation program. Are tribal communities targets? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

LINKS TO THE STORIES WE SHARE:

How Trump’s funding freeze for Indigenous food programs may violate treaty law

Mohicans have bought ancestral land back.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
RACISM IN AMERICA SEGMENT

DEPORTATION AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:

As the 2nd Trump administration’s efforts to deport “Illegal Immigrants” who they perceive as “Gang Affiliated.” These efforts often involve no due process, and have also extended into Indian country. Most notably, within Navajo Nation, as reports have begun to surface about officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (or I.C.E.) harassing Navajo citizens.

https://www.youtube.com/@NativeOpinion]]>1812025,holidays,new-yearsfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-436-again-america--63507359We take a closer look at President Biden's recent apology for the historical atrocities committed through Indian boarding schools, analyzing the substance of his remarks versus the expectations for actionable measures. We debate whether an apology alone suffices or if it requires a commitment to reparative actions, such as increased funding for mental health services and the repatriation of remains. 

We also dissect President Biden’s previous statements that no Native American has ever held a consequential cabinet position, calling attention to historical inaccuracies and the complexities of representation in American political structures. 

We then shift our focus to the recent United States presidential elections and reflect on the political landscape, contemplating whether the Democratic Party learned from past mistakes or remains entrenched in a cycle of disenfranchisement. We also provide Native American voting pattern data provided by a partnrship between the First Nations Development Institute, BSP Research, and the African American Research Collaborative.   The data confirms the necessity of addressing tribal issues, especially land rights and environmental concerns.

Our conversation transitions into discussions around the changing political paradigms, underscoring the need for authentic engagement with Native issues beyond election cycles.

It is rare in America to see a wealthy, white male convicted of a Felony crime. But that rarity disappeared recently for Donald Trump.  Jurors convicted Trump on 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, which is a felony in New York. Trump was a resident of New York most of his life, and generated wealth dealing in real estate, among many other business ventures.  Trump is an individual who conned many Americans into voting for him in 2016 to become America’s 45th President. 

In this episode of Native Opinion, we provide our opinion about the conviction, expressing that "It's about time."


Also in this episode:

We provide some perspective on definitions of the terms "Co-Management" and "Co-Stewardship" in Indian country. Usually attributed to land, we look at the positives and negatives to the application of these terms in partnerships with the United States federal government.

Racism in America Segment:

1.) A Federal Senator bars the appointment of America's first Native American Federal Judge 
2.) A law suit waged by three men of color against American Airlines. You're not going to believe why they are suing!

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or “NAGPRA” Provides for the ownership or control of Native American cultural items (human remains and objects) excavated or discovered on Federal or tribal lands back to Federally recognized tribes. Among several aspects of the act, it directs Federal agencies and museums with possession or control over holdings or collections of Native American human remains and funerary objects to inventory them, identify their geographic and cultural affiliation, and notify the affected Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organization to begin the established process of returning them to tribes. Some institutions and states have been slow, even resistant to comply with this law. We look deeper into the responsibilities of institutions to comply with this law.

Also…

A landmark law case before the Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) handed down a major decision in favor of Native American tribes and parents by keeping in place a 40 year federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act. (or ICWA) We deconstruct this lawsuit and look into the reasons behind this very important case for Indian Country.
And finally…
American healthcare has become corporatized, and there have been some very serious consequences as a result of what has become risky business for patients and even medical providers across the country. We provide some examples of these changes and ask very important questions.

Given the history of colonization, genocide, and ongoing oppression faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States, tribes have argued that they should be recognized as true sovereign nations, separate and distinct from the U.S.

On the other hand, some argue that the idea of a "united" America is paramount and that recognizing that separate individual "Nations within a Nation" would be a threat to national unity and security. In this podcast, we will offer perspective on how the complex history and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States are largely ignored by elected politicians who (in some cases) come from within our tribal communities.

  For indigenous people whose traditional territories are encroached upon each and every day, "Thanksgiving" is actually a day of Mourning. In this episode of Native Opinion, we take our listeners to the National Day of Mourning event hosted by the United American Indians Of New England. Listeners will hear indigenous perspectives on a wide variety of subjects at this event during the American lie of a holiday called "Thanksgiving."
  
  For myself, I do spend time with my family, and share a nice meal. However, I am NOT celebrating this day as a holiday. Instead, today is one of my national days of mourning. I am thinking about my Pequot ancestors who unwillingly gave their lives for this country. Not through a military war, but instead, they had their lives destroyed by this country through acts of genocide. Their deaths were literally celebrated by the first colonial settlers under the first established American colony in Massachusetts. That celebration in 1637 marked the first American thanksgiving.

  The Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe has a victory in the Supreme Court of the United States against the corrupt actions of South Dakota's Governor Kristi Noem.
  
  The Drummer of Rock Group U2 Donated 100,000 dollars to help the Navajo and the Hopi. Over 8 million dollars have been raised by a variety of private groups to Help these nations who have more COVID-19 cases per capita than that of New York and New Jersey combined. Yet The United States can commit two trillion dollars to benefit (largely) Big business and (some) citizens of the country.
  
  Also:
  
  We keep hearing "we are all in this together" with respect to the Coronavirus. But are we? You wouldn't know it given the action of 40% of American citizens as well as some politicians. We provide some examples of this.
  
  In our Racism in America segment:
  
  We provide an update on the alleged (but likely) murder of George Floyd after the arrest of the police officer who kneeled on his neck. Also, White Americans Need to Condemn White Racism in America... the thoughts by Pastor and author John Pavlovitz.

  A recent poll taken shows 37 % of Unemployed Americans ran out of food in the Month of April. If you can't work and make money, how do you buy food to live? Native People are also a part of this percentage who also live in urban areas. We look at this poll.
  
  Also, despite the pandemic, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is back in operation, and working virtually. One of their cases may affect the jurisdiction of Oklahoma as it pertains to the 5 tribes within the borders of the state. At stake... Did the United States Congress dissolve the Muskogee Creek reservation, and remand jurisdiction to the state of Oklahoma? We take a look at Federal Indian Law, as well as potential scenarios that could play out for this case.

But for Indian country, that belief is tainted by the reality of continuous unkept promises and outright lies by the United States and Canada to its Indigenous citizens. In this episode, we examine various examples of this, including the continued abuse by Canada towards the Wet’suwet’en People over the Coastal Link gas pipeline.

  EPISODE SUMMARY:
  Dr. Martin Luthor King's "I have a dream" speech is a narrative people so often take out of context. In America's history of the civil rights fight, Native people have been largely left out of that part of American History. We look at why, and how Native people did benefit from the work of, Dr. King through an article by Levi Rickert. (Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation) Also, we deconstruct a discussion about race in the New Hampshire democratic debates.

The Trump impeachment process seems to be on everyone’s mind as well as politicians’ perceptions of how the country was “founded”. We deconstruct Nancy Pelocy’s address to the nation, by focusing on her problematic use of history meme’s through an Indigenous lens.

Sailors Find Pumice ‘Raft’ the Size of Washington D.C. Floating in Pacific that Could Help Restore Great Barrier Reef. FEATURED RECORDING ARTIST: ARTIST: Julian Taylor Band TRACK: Avalanche BIO: The voice drifting into the lobby from the soundcheck sounds so timeless it might be emerging from some ancient well of souls at the end of the world, but it’s also fresh and vulnerable. Other times, lost in the dreads, the voice comes up out of the shadow summoning ancestral tones of Maroon resistance or slipping into a high Mohawk register. So…not a monotone experience at all. And well beyond stereo. In fact not of any one genre. Not limited that way. There’s no dissonance. it’s a harmonic whole. Julian Taylor masterfully re-combines and updates the vintage sounds that inspired him, to create bold, innovative songs. Taylor, of both West Indian and Native Canadian decent, is a charismatic frontman, prolific songwriter, and endearing individual – the kind who immediately connects and makes you feel at ease. That character of warmth and generosity permeates everything Taylor does. Toronto poet Robert Priest describes him as “the kind of artist forever in the zone, the voice limitless, the songs full of feeling and memorable hooks.” In his His latest album, “Avalanche” the title track of the same name is inspired by death, remorse, redemption, and unconditional love. “Life is made of two things” Taylor says… “moments and the memories that they leave behind. This is the title track to the album because when I began working on this record my life was in turmoil. It felt similar to a time when I buried a lot of close friends. I was in this endless spiral of self-destruction and it seemed like I was at a funeral every other weekend. Julian Taylor Band Website Kutupitush! (Thank You!) for listening!

Of Cree heritage, Constance Lake First Nations, Chum is a traditional hand drum singer from the age of 14. She took up pop music when her father showed up at her place one day with a guitar, and told her to learn it. “It was a hard beginning, but I was eventually able to express myself in a way that I didn’t think I could. When you’re born with a purpose it will find you no matter what. I wasn’t planning on music but music found me,” says Chum. Describing herself as ambitious, friendly, and confident, Chum has had her singing voice compared to that of Buffy Sainte-Marie and Stevie Nicks. The veracity of that comparison is evident in her current single and video, “Undone,” which examines the way bad timing can circumvent a possible romantic relationship, and how being hurt in love can prevent people from risking the prospect of loving again.

You were born there, went to school there, and all of your family lives there. Now imagine a knock at your door, and standing there is a person who represents the United States government. The person at the door then challenges your ethnicity, and you have to move out of your home because the Federal Government has determined that since you are not who THEY say you are, you must leave your home, your land, and maybe even the town that you grew up in. To some degree, this is what the Mashpee Wampanoag people are now facing. In this week’s episode of Native Opinion, we discuss the decision by the Interior Department to determine a finding that the Mashpee Wampanoag people “do not meet the definition of an Indian”. Also other native news, and featuring music by Jan Michael Lookingwolf. The Native Opinion theme song “Honor The People” is by Casper Loma Da Wa.

Resources tend to be at the center of much of this. Land, Energy, Water, even Hunting and fishing grounds have all been capitalized for monetary gain. America also Whitewashes the truth, then rinses their hands of the blood it has spilled and Repeats the process, including to other countries. Its history is not glorious, particularly from the Indigenous perspective. In this episode, we take a look at a few examples of American history, and its encroachment on Indigenous people. WARNING! the examples in this episode are real, and goes against certain narritives you might have been taught in public school… ARTICLES DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: 1893 Americans overthrow Hawaiian monarchy Hawaiian Sovereignty & International Law by David Keanu Sai Ph.D. Lanakila Mangauil talks Hawaiian Culture 1898 U.S. takes control of Puerto Rico THE TRAIL OF TEARS How Western Countries Steal From Africa by Patenting Her Natural Resources MUSIC PRESENTED IN THIS EPISODE: https://www.brulerecords.com/ Bio: Paul LaRoche is the founder and producer of the award-winning Native American music group Brulé. The group is best known for thrilling audiences with a mergence of cultural rock and theatrical instrumentations. Now in their 20th season, their national performances carry the same contagious excitement as Trans Siberian Orchestra, Celtic Thunder, and Riverdance—but with the emotional impact of the American Indian culture. The group is one of the top-selling Native American adult/rock music groups and has chalked up impressive CD sales (over 1 million worldwide). Brulé has released 21titles in 20 years and has been named “Group of the Year” five times by the prestigious Native American Music Awards, earning seven NAMMYs since 2002. Their annual performance schedule takes them extensively throughout the U.S., touring the casino, performing arts theatre, arena, corporate and festival circuits. Brulé has pushed the boundaries of contemporary Native American rhythms and classic rock in their genre-blending selections. Their electrifying show consists of a 5-piece rock ensemble augmented with an array of traditional Native American instrumentation. Paired with the stunning steps of one of the top Native American dance troupes, their authenticity brings a multi-dimensional art form to this cultural rock opera. Brulé produced over 70 episodes of the TV Program “Hidden Heritage” for cable TV. RFD-TV is a cable TV network that broadcasts to over 40 million homes across the United Sates and international markets. The show “Hidden Heritage” presents positive stories from across Native America. Brulé is pioneering a new trend in the music industry: the epic Native American Rock Theatre. Kutupitush!

But if all goes as planned, they will meet with Vatican officials in May with a plea: “Rescind the historic papal decrees that justified the domination of native peoples.” These 500-year-old decrees are at the center of a surprising flurry of faith-based activism and interest in the Twin Cities, home to one of the nation’s largest urban American Indian populations. Critics charge they formed the basis of the so-called Doctrine of Discovery, which asserted that the people and wealth of non-Christian lands belonged to those who “discovered” them. Its legacy shapes federal Indian policy to this day and haunts Indians’ well-being, they say. READ MORE ARTICLE 2 TITLE: Cambridge Analytica Execs Bragged Of Using Fake News, Sex To Sway Elections Disturbing undercover interviews with executives from U.K.-based political research firm Cambridge Analytica have revealed admissions of bribery, entrapment and the use of sex workers to sway political elections around the world, according to an investigative series airing Monday. The results of a months’ long investigation by Britain’s Channel 4 News revealed Cambridge Analytica’s inner workings as told by Alexander Nix, the company’s chief executive, and Mark Turnbull, the managing director of CA Political Global, to a reporter posing as a client. The interviews are part of Channel 4 News’ “Data, Democracy and Dirty Tricks”, investigation series. During phone calls and in-person meetings at a London hotel from November 2017 to January 2018, Nix was recorded bragging that his firm and parent company Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) secretly influenced more than 200 elections around the world, including those in Nigeria, Kenya, the Czech Republic, India and Argentina. READ MORE ARTICLE 3 TITLE: Court Rules That Medical Marijuana Card Holders Can’t Buy Firearms If you have a medical marijuana card, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says that you can’t buy a gun. The court ruled 3–0 on Wednesday that a ban preventing medical marijuana card holders from purchasing firearms is not in violation of the Second Amendment, the Associated Press reports. There are nine western states under the appeals court’s jurisdiction, including Nevada, where the case originated. A lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Nevada resident S. Rowan Wilson after she tried to purchase a gun for self-defense and was denied based on a federal ban on the sale of guns to users of illegal drugs. Though marijuana has been legalized in some places on a state-by-state basis, it remains illegal under federal law. The court maintained that drug use “raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated.” READ MORE ARTICLE 4 TITLE: Public lands are being sold in secret on the internet Ayers Energy LLC is, ostensibly, an energy company based out of either Bedford, Texas, or Cheyenne, Wyoming, depending on what day you look at the results of the Bureau of Land Management’s most recent oil and gas auction. Public information about the company is scarce: It’s not listed as a taxable entity by the Texas Comptroller, and doesn’t appear to be a registered corporation in the state of Texas or Wyoming. In fact, a search for Ayers Energy through Vigilant, a public records database, did not yield any registration records for the company in any state. On March 21, Ayers’ address — according to federal documents — was listed as on Pecan Bend Drive in Bedford, Texas. As of March 22, that address had changed to Central Ave in Cheyenne. But, despite the vague and ever-changing information about Ayers Energy LLC, the company, as of March 20, owns the rights to pursue oil and gas development on 19 parcels of federally-owned lands in San Juan County, Utah, just outside of the boundary of Hovenweep National Monument. READ MORE ARTICLE 5 TITLE: TV station’s closed captioning slurs Austin bombing victim Draylen Mason as “this monkey” A Texas television station has cut ties with a vendor after closed captioning used racist language to insult a black victim of the Austin bomber. Local ABC affiliate KVUE-TV reported Tuesday night on the death of 17-year-old Draylen Mason, who was identified in closed captioning as “this monkey,” reported the Statesman. The station blamed VITAC, an outside company that provides live captioning to KVUE newscasts, and on Thursday terminated its contract with the firm. “We are taking this mistake very seriously and we are heartsick about this terrible error,” KVUE said in a statement. “We apologize to Draylen’s family and to our community. We have demanded an explanation and an apology to Draylen’s family, and VITAC is complying.” READ MORE ARTICLE 6 TITLE: Congress’s new $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, explained On Wednesday night, congressional leaders unveiled the “omni”: a massive 2,232-page, $1.3 trillion spending bill covering everything from defense to border security to opioids. In Congress, a spending bill spanning multiple budget areas is known as an “omnibus.” On Thursday, the House and Senate passed the bill. If signed by President Trump, the legislation will keep the government open through September 30, giving us at least six months without a major budgetary showdown. READ MORE ARTICLE 6 Poll: Native Americans See Far More Discrimination In Areas Where They Are A Majority More than half of Native Americans living on tribal lands or other majority-Native areas say they have experienced racial or ethnic discrimination when interacting with police (55 percent) and applying for jobs (54 percent). That’s according to new poll results being released Tuesday by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. SEE THE FULL POLL HERE

Here is an excerpt from that article: “Despite high rates of unintentional firearm injuries,1–3 and recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that firearm education is important,4 it is often said that firearm injuries occur primarily among inexperienced users and that firearm safety comes with experience and training. To investigate this contention, we conducted a study in which we hypothesized that firearm use would decline during the dates of NRA meetings — which attract tens of thousands of members from across the United States,5 including firearm owners and owners of venues where firearms are used (e.g., firing ranges and hunting grounds) — and that firearm injuries would also decline even among experienced users.” READ MORE HERE Article 1 Title: Irish town built a memorial to thank Native Americans who helped during FamineAmerican Author: Frances Mulraney A sculpture of nine eagle feathers will be installed in Bailic Park, in Midleton, Co Cork to thank the Choctaw Indians for their kindness and support during the Great Irish Famine. Despite the oppression faced by the Choctaws in the years preceding the famine, on hearing of the plight and hunger of the Irish people in 1847, they raised $170 to send to the Irish people and ease their suffering. This figure is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in today’s currency. READ MORE Article 2 Title: Harvest like Our Ancestors: The Resistance is Fertile Author: Ruth Hopkins **It’s time for the harvest. Traditionally, the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) are hunter gatherers. For generations, our children have gotten excited when the chokecherries turn black, because that meant they were ripe for picking. Buffaloberries and wild plums are ready when the chokecherries are. Wild strawberries and raspberries were ready a month previous, along with wild onions; prairie turnips (timpsila) were picked two months before that. The berries and plums can be eaten fresh picked, and are made into jams and jellies. Wojapi is a delicious dessert made from honey or sugar and berries, usually chokecherries. Chokecherries mixed with kidney fat and dried meat are also used to make wasna, ceremonial food. My father, who is a wild game hunter, loves pemmican. We gather first. Hunting will come in another month’s time. READ MORE Article 3 Title: 2007 Census of Agriculture American Indian Farmers American Indian or Alaska Native Farm Operators Author: USDA Census of Agriculture **The 2007 Census of Agriculture shows that U.S. farmers and ranchers are becoming more diverse and that the number of American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators continues to rise. The 2007 Census counted a total of 79,703 American Indian or Alaska Native operators on 61,472 farms and ranches across the United States. More than a quarter of these operators also reported another race. The count of American Indian or Alaska Native operators grew 88 percent from 2002, significantly outpacing the 7 percent increase in U.S. farm operators overall. There were a total of 55,889 American Indian operators who reported American Indian or Alaska Native as their only race in 2007. Of these, 34,706 were principal operators, up 124 percent from 2002.* READ MORE Article 4 Title: American Indian Tribes Create an Agricultural Coalition to Impact the Next Farm Bill Author: Dan Nosowitz The Farm Bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation coming up this year, though it seldom makes waves outside the agricultural community. The Farm Bill, which is passed every five years (or so—the last one, in 2014, was two years late), includes a lot of the stuff you might imagine—farm subsidies, crop insurance—but it also address a boatload of other issues, like the SNAP benefits (aka the food stamp program), rural assistance, employment help, conservation measures in agriculture, forestry programs, food research and development, biofuels, and more. It’s vital not just to farmers but to the economically disadvantaged, and anyone who lives in rural America, too. READ MORE Article 4 Title: EPA funding allows Otoe-Missouri Tribe to map its property and keep recycling Author: Justin Wingerter PHOENIX - On Thursday, January 25, 2018, several armed Trump supporters, carrying Trump flags, surrounded Arizona state Representative Pamela Hannley and yelled at her about her “protecting illegals” near the state Capitol in Phoenix. Close by, on their way to lunch, were Representative Eric Descheenie (D-Chinle) and Representative Wenona Benally (D-Window Rock). Both are Navajo. Representative Benally recounts the event for Native News Online: "Rep. Descheenie stepped in between them and Rep. Hannley, in order to protect her from them. As soon as he did so, it drew the attention of the rest of the Trump protesters. The rest of the Trump protestors quickly walked over to us, surrounding us and aggressively yelling at us about our support for ‘illegals.’ READ MORE Article 5 Title: Exclusive: Here’s Jeff Sessions’ Draft Masterplan For The Justice Department Author: Ryan J. Reilly WASHINGTON ― Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rapidly shifting the Justice Department’s focus from Obama-era goals such as civil rights enforcement and criminal justice reform to conservative priorities. A draft version of the department’s five-year strategic plan obtained by HuffPost shows the Trump administration’s plans for DOJ include cracking down on illegal immigrants, aggressively prosecute national security leaks, zeroing in on campus speech issues, attacking MS–13 and restoring the “rule of law” throughout the country. The special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the election and President Donald Trump’s attacks on Sessions have grabbed headlines in the attorney general’s first year in office. But the Justice Department, of course, has jurisdiction over much more than the Russia probe. READ MORE

Call us! 860–381–0207 Guest: Indigenous Women Rising You can find out all about the great outstanding work at Indigenous Women Rising by visiting their website: https://www.iwrising.org Article 1 Title: Women played a very important role in the life of the Native American Author: Indians Dot Org Women played a very important role in the life of the Native American. They were more than just mothers of the tribes’ children. They were builders, warriors, farmers, and craftswomen. Their strength was essential to the survival of the tribes. In most cases, the women were actually in charge of gathering materials and then building the homes for everyone. They maintained their homes’ roof and created new houses for tribes to live in. This is an astonishing achievement, particularly for the women of their time. The men knew that women were the source of life, and provided a feeling of strength and consistency to their lives. The women in Native American tribes often helped their men to hunt down buffalo. Then, when the buffalo were harvested, the women were responsible for skinning, cutting, and cooking the animal. They also gathered firewood, cooked, and repaired clothing and shoes. READ MORE Article 1, Part B Title: Native Women of ICTMN, Part I Author: Simon Moya-Smith o April 12, 2016 **Let me make this short and sweet: We at Indian Country Today have a glorious gallery of Native American writers and thinkers, and a great many of these folks are immensely imaginative and seriously wise indigenous women. My loving mother, a wonderful indigenous woman herself, taught me two things early on in life: “Never sit on your lips when you should open your mouth,” and “Now shut up and let the women talk.” These lessons have served me well so far, and why stop now?

Paulette Jordan, a 37-year-old Idaho state representative and member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, is running as a progressive Democrat to try and become state governor. READ MORE Article 3 Title: American Indian Women Author: Historian Ellen Holmes Pearson Question What were women treated like in the tribes of the Indians? Were they given more rights than American women of the time? Answer In 1644, the Rev. John Megalopensis, minister at a Dutch Church in New Netherlands, complained that Native American women were “obliged to prepare the Land, to mow, to plant, and do every Thing; the Men do nothing except hunting, fishing, and going to War against their Enemies…” Many of his fellow Europeans described American Indian women as “slaves” to the men, because of the perceived differences in their labor, compared to European women. Indian women performed what Europeans considered to be men’s work. But, from the Native American perspective, women’s roles reflected their own cultural emphases on reciprocity, balance, and autonomy. Most scholars agree that Native American women at the time of contact with Europeans had more authority and autonomy than did European women.

Close by, on their way to lunch, were Representative Eric Descheenie (D-Chinle) and Representative Wenona Benally (D-Window Rock). Both are Navajo. Representative Benally recounts the event for Native News Online: "Rep. Descheenie stepped in between them and Rep. Hannley, in order to protect her from them. As soon as he did so, it drew the attention of the rest of the Trump protesters. The rest of the Trump protestors quickly walked over to us, surrounding us and aggressively yelling at us about our support for ‘illegals.’ READ MORE Article 5 Title: Walmart Just Announced More Layoffs, Despite the Billions, it Will Get in Tax Cuts Author: By Sahid Fawaz Walmart made headlines earlier this month when it announced bonuses up to $1,000 while laying off thousands at Sam’s Stores. Now Walmart is laying off more people even as it stands to reap billions in savings from the Trump tax plan. "Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is cutting as many as 1,000 jobs at its headquarters this year and next, the latest effort to streamline a retail empire under threat from Amazon.com Inc. The first wave of layoffs totaled between 400 and 500 jobs and hit the company’s marketing, human resources, merchandising, real estate and other divisions this week, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based chain said. Those affected will have 60 days to find a new role. READ MORE

They were more than just mothers of the tribes’ children. They were builders, warriors, farmers, and craftswomen. Their strength was essential to the survival of the tribes. In most cases, the women were actually in charge of gathering materials and then building the homes for everyone. They maintained their homes’ roof and created new houses for tribes to live in. This is an astonishing achievement, particularly for the women of their time. The men knew that women were the source of life, and provided a feeling of strength and consistency to their lives. The women in Native American tribes often helped their men to hunt down buffalo. Then, when the buffalo were harvested, the women were responsible for skinning, cutting, and cooking the animal. They also gathered firewood, cooked, and repaired clothing and shoes.

My loving mother, a wonderful indigenous woman herself, taught me two things early on in life: “Never sit on your lips when you should open your mouth,” and “Now shut up and let the women talk.” These lessons have served me well so far, and why stop now?

(860) 381–0207 Native News Articles In This Episode: ARTICLE 1: TITLE: The Ancient Baby Carrier Making a Comeback SUB-TITLE: Native women are once again embracing the cradleboard because it’s both artistic and utilitarian. AUTHOR: Chelsey Luger Chelsey is a journalist from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe For YES! Magazine There are strollers and swings, high chairs and play yards, vibration seats and musical floor mats. When it comes to devices for holding and transporting babies, the options are endless—so much so that millions of moms and dads spend hours online poring over reviews and ratings to then spend billions of dollars finding the safest, cutest, and most appropriate items for their little ones. But one type of baby carrier has existed well before all others. It’s safe, economical, and beautiful. It comes in all types of designs and many, many sizes. Some are adorned with furs and leathers, others in colorful beads and shells. Some have intricate wood carvings and floral designs, while others are made of simple, natural fabrics such as muslin or cotton. Babies love this baby carrier, and so do moms. It’s practically perfect, but there’s a catch: It’s extremely difficult to find at any store or even an online shop. It’s called the cradleboard, and it has been used by indigenous families from hundreds of nations across North America for thousands of years. READ MORE: ARTICLE 2: TITLE: Indian Country left behind as Republicans push tax cuts through Congress AUTHOR: By Kevin Abourezk Passage of a $1.5 trillion tax reform bill represents a rare and now missed opportunity to address the many economic development disparities in Indian Country, according to Democratic members of Congress. “Congress has a responsibility to ensure that tribes are able to be self-sustaining and have access to economic opportunities, and that’s why the tax bill that just passed the House is so deeply disappointing,” said Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Michigan) during a conference call following passage of H.R.1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The House vote on Tuesday afternoon set the stage for final passage of the controversial legislation. The roll call fell along party lines, with all but 12 Republicans in support of the bill and all Democrats opposed. READ MORE: ARTICLE 3: TITLE: Nearly all members of National Park Service advisory panel resign in frustration AUTHOR: By Juliet Eilperin More than three-quarters of the members of a federally chartered board advising the National Park Service have quit out of frustration that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke had refused to meet with them or convene a single meeting last year. The resignation of 10 out of 12 National Park System Advisory Board members leaves the federal government without a functioning body to designate national historic or natural landmarks. It also underscores the extent to which federal advisory bodies have become marginalized under the Trump administration. In May 2017, Zinke suspended all outside committees while his staff reviewed their composition and work. In a letter to the secretary on Monday, departing board chairman Tony Knowles, a former Alaska governor, wrote that he and eight other members “have stood by waiting for the chance to meet and continue the partnership . . . as prescribed by law.” All of the signatories, who serve as unpaid volunteers, had terms set to expire in May. READ MORE Article 4: TITLE: Native Farm Bill Coalition Formed More than 30 native American tribes have formed the Native Farm Bill Coalition in an effort to give native American farms a voice at the farm bill table. Minnesota Public Radio reports that the coalition is an outgrowth of programs to improve health and expand access to healthy food for Native Americans. The coalition says that for decades, Indian Country has largely been pushed to the side during farm bill discussions. That means, according to coalition leaders, Native Americans and tribes are “missing out on major opportunities to protect and advance their interests.” The Native Farm Bill Coalition is a joint project by the Seeds of Native Health campaign, the Intertribal Agriculture Council, the National Congress of American Indians, and the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative, to improve Native dietary health and food access. Article 5: TITLE: Tribes not subject to Labor Relations Board rules WASHINGTON — Rep. Kristi Noem led the U.S. House of Representatives in passing provisions to protect tribal sovereignty on labor issues. The legislation, which many South Dakota tribes have long supported, would clarify that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) does not have jurisdiction over tribally owned and operated businesses. “In 2004, the National Labor Relations Board unilaterally decided that it needed to meddle in the affairs of tribally-owned businesses on tribal lands, threatening the foundation of Indian law, the principle of tribal sovereignty, and the limits that ought to be placed on the federal government,” said Noem. “Subjecting Native American tribes to National Labor Relations Board rules is yet another sign that some still want the federal government to interfere in tribal decision making. I’m proud to see provisions pass the House that withdraws the government’s heavy hand and again reinforce our commitment to tribal sovereignty.” READ MORE Article 6: TITLE: CHEROKEE NATION LAUNCHES NEW LANGUAGE PROGRAM FOR CHEROKEE IMMERSION CHARTER SCHOOL GRADUATES AUTHOR: BY NATIVE NEWS ONLINE STAFF TAHLEQUAH — The Cherokee Nation recently launched a pilot program to ensure students who learned to speak Cherokee at the tribe’s Cherokee Immersion Charter School continue to use the language as they enter high school. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker and Cherokee Nation Businesses CEO Shawn Slaton signed a memorandum of understanding to create the program, called the 14th Generation Master Apprentice Program, during a ceremony at the tribe’s Cherokee Immersion Charter School in Tahlequah on Wednesday. “CNB’s monetary commitment to the Cherokee Language Master Apprentice Program will further advance the preservation and usage of the Cherokee language, as graduates of the program are placed in supervised teaching roles,” Baker said. “That means language lessons can be utilized at Sequoyah High School as well as in community settings. Creating Cherokee speakers, and in turn, letting them pass along what they have learned, will help keep the language flourishing for generations to come.” READ MORE Article 7: TITLE: Doug George-Kanentiio: Mohawk people must take action on marijuana AUTHOR: By Doug George-Kanentiio Who was Harry Anslinger (1892–1975) and how did he come to have a deep effect on the Mohawks of Akwesasne? To begin with we need to understand the product which consumed Mr. Anslinger director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now the Drug Enforcement Administration) from 1930–1962. Director Anslinger hated blacks, he hated jazz, he hated Mexicans. He believed their music and culture was polluting the rest of the United States and that the use of marijuana by musicians was the mark of a degenerative people, particularly African Americans who he accused of being drug addicts consumed with the desire to seduce white women. He claimed marijuana drove the Mexicans and black people mad, causing them to commit terrible crimes of murder to rape. He instructed his agents to “shoot first” in their raids on suspected users and dealers. Anslinger exaggerated and lied about marijuana and its effects on humans. He suppressed any objective medical report which challenged his claims that it was dangerous and instead showed how it was of dramatic, effective use as a medical drug. In this, he was supported by the pharmaceutical companies and sensational articles published by William Randolph Hearst in his newspapers. READ MORE

(860) 381–0207       Guest This Episode: John & Kenn Little GUEST Introduction: The issue of Native American cultural appropriation and sports mascots has sadly been around for a very long time. Tonight we take a look at the subject through the lens (as it were) of two filmmakers. Both are brothers, and both are members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. They are John & Kenn Little. John graduated with his BA from South Dakota State and MA in history from the University of South Dakota. His research focus is on Native American veterans, music, cultural appropriation, and mascots. He is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota. Kenn received his BA in Graphic Design and New Media from Full Sail University in 2013. He is a multifaceted artist, writer, videographer, and musician and often combines those abilities on his projects. Together, John and Kenn have produced a documentary entitled “More Than a Word”, which analyzes the Washington football team and their use of the derogatory term R-word..(folks can fill in the blank… ) Using interviews from both those in favor of changing the name and those against, More Than A Word presents a deeper analysis of the many issues surrounding the Washington team name. The documentary also examines the history of Native American cultural appropriation.

Trump. And he’s running for Congress because “the swamp is deep, the alligators, bite, and the taxpayers are getting ripped off every day.” He wants less regulation and more oil and gas development. And don’t get him started on what he dismisses as “fake news.” More on that, shortly. Clarkson, a Choctaw tribal member, is running in the Republican primary for New Mexico’s second congressional district. The district is now represented by the state’s only Republican in Congress, Steve Pearce, who is a candidate for governor. It’s a crowded field. There are at least four Republican candidates and a half dozen Democrats. (Two of the Republicans have already raised nearly a half million dollars between them.) The filing deadline comes up in March and the primary is in June.

This has been a long, 18-year struggle, and it was great. We never gave up. We kept fighting the battle. We kept going back, and today, we won,” Monacan Chief Dean Branham said as he drove home from Washington, D.C. after Thursday’s vote. “We just had to wait for our time, and this was our time.” READ MORE:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/senate-sends-bill-recognizing-six-virginia-indian-tribes-to-president-trumps-desk/2018/01/11/80c56260-f6f3-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html?utm_term=.d99a9a79e9d5     MAIN CONTENT SEGMENTS: **Article 1: ** TITLE: Eastern Cherokees see strong support for Tennessee land-into-trust bill The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is seeing strong support for a bill to restore some of its ancestral lands in Tennessee.

Four weeks into the Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League’s season, parents of players on a team from West Clermont, Ohio, saw that the team from Kings Mills, Ohio, against whom their children were playing was named “The Wet Dream Team.” They also noticed that the names on the backs of the high-school-aged boys’ jerseys included phrases like “Knee Grow” and “Coon.” Tony Rue, a parent of a West Clermont player, highlighted the eyebrow-raising jerseys in a lengthy Facebook post asking how such attire, and such a team name, was deemed appropriate for a league that hosts players from grades two through 12. **READ MORE: **   https://sports.yahoo.com/ohio-youth-team-kicked-rec-league-offensive-jerseys-185930020.html

Steeves, who is Cree-Metis, was the first Ph.D. candidate in her field to successfully defend her dissertation using indigenous method and theory. She has spent years building a database of Pleistocene archeological sites that show her ancestors have been in the Americas far longer than previously acknowledged. (The Pleistocene [Pleis·to·cene], is the geological epoch [pronounce it “epic”] that lasted from 2.6 million to approximately 12,000 years ago.) Her work, which challenges the “colonial” legacy of archeology, is considered revolutionary by some, controversial by others. Steeves believes objections to the inclusion of “indigenous ways and methods” in archeology comes from “a really strong, and deep-rooted racism in North American anthropology against Native Americans.”   Native News Segments:        ARTICLE 1:   Title: Alberta teacher races to save dying Indigenous language before time runs out 'Our stories haven't been told and I want to share our history with others' By Zoe Todd, CBC News Posted: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT Last Updated: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-beaver-language-victoria-wanihadie-indigenous-1.4394156   ARTICLE 2:  TITLE: FORCED STERILIZATION of 272000 Native American Women “Not a Crime Against Humanity”: PUBLIC PROSECUTOR By theindigenousamericans_6i2sru  On November 13, 2017November 13, 2017  https://www.theindigenousamericans.com/2017/11/13/forced-sterilization-272000-indigenous-women-not-crime-humanity-public-prosecutor/   MAIN CONTENT SEGMENTS:   Article A  TITLE: Confronting Cultural Imperialism in Native American Archaeology The ethical, legal, and research-oriented tools of archaeology can encourage Native American self-determination rather than undermine it.

Steeves, who is Cree-Metis, was the first Ph.D. candidate in her field to successfully defend her dissertation using indigenous method and theory. She has spent years building a database of Pleistocene archeological sites that show her ancestors have been in the Americas far longer than previously acknowledged. (The Pleistocene [Pleis·to·cene], is the geological epoch [pronounce it “epic”] that lasted from 2.6 million to approximately 12,000 years ago.) Her work, which challenges the “colonial” legacy of archeology, is considered revolutionary by some, controversial by others. Steeves believes objections to the inclusion of “indigenous ways and methods” in archeology comes from “a really strong, and deep-rooted racism in North American anthropology against Native Americans.”   Native News Segments:        ARTICLE 1:   Title: Alberta teacher races to save dying Indigenous language before time runs out 'Our stories haven't been told and I want to share our history with others' By Zoe Todd, CBC News Posted: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT Last Updated: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-beaver-language-victoria-wanihadie-indigenous-1.4394156   ARTICLE 2:  TITLE: FORCED STERILIZATION of 272000 Native American Women “Not a Crime Against Humanity”: PUBLIC PROSECUTOR By theindigenousamericans_6i2sru  On November 13, 2017November 13, 2017  https://www.theindigenousamericans.com/2017/11/13/forced-sterilization-272000-indigenous-women-not-crime-humanity-public-prosecutor/   MAIN CONTENT SEGMENTS:   Article A  TITLE: Confronting Cultural Imperialism in Native American Archaeology The ethical, legal, and research-oriented tools of archaeology can encourage Native American self-determination rather than undermine it.

(860) 381-0207         OUR GUEST: Recording Artist Jan Michael Lookingwolf Bio: "A modern master of the Native American Flute, a premier performer of the instrument of our time..."- - - Billboard Journal He is an enrolled Kalapuya member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, who resides within his indigenous homelands in Oregon, Jan Michael Looking Wolf is a world-renowned Native American flute player. Traveling a broad range of musical styles, his recordings have garnered over 52 awards and a top ten ranking in the new age charts. He is the winner of several Native American Music Awards including Artist of the Year, Flutist of the Year, Best Record and Best Music Video. Jan Michael's lifeway and musical expressions are based on the tradition of 'One Heart'. In short, it is a universal truth that everyone is equal regardless of the color of our skin, tribal affiliation, language we speak, income, gender, faith, nationality or personal beliefs. 'One Heart' is the recognition of Unity through Diversity.

Today survival is easier, but many are dying young. For centuries Alaska Native peoples survived the harsh conditions of life in the far north while our social, cultural, and spiritual practices thrived. In the 1700’s the battle to claim Alaska and its peoples began, setting into motion disruptive changes for Alaska’s first peoples. The painful scars from colonization continue to cycle from one generation to the next.  We Breathe Again intimately explores the lives of four Alaska Native people, each confronting the impacts of intergenerational trauma and suicide. Reflected in the northern lights and the city streetlights, from the ice roads to the asphalt, the characters battle for personal healing, hoping to break new trail for their families and their communities to follow.

Today survival is easier, but many are dying young. For centuries Alaska Native peoples survived the harsh conditions of life in the far north while our social, cultural, and spiritual practices thrived. In the 1700’s the battle to claim Alaska and its peoples began, setting into motion disruptive changes for Alaska’s first peoples. The painful scars from colonization continue to cycle from one generation to the next.  We Breathe Again intimately explores the lives of four Alaska Native people, each confronting the impacts of intergenerational trauma and suicide. Reflected in the northern lights and the city streetlights, from the ice roads to the asphalt, the characters battle for personal healing, hoping to break new trail for their families and their communities to follow.

Native Opinion would like to ask your support for our friend, and award-winning Native American recording artist Joseph Firecrow. Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient, Multiple Award winner, and Grammy nominee for his recording "Cheyenne Nation", Joseph FireCrow is in need of our assistance. He is battling a disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, which his Mother passed from in 2011, and is hereditary. He is on the waiting list for a bilateral lung transplant. Doctors indicate that surgery could be soon as long as Joseph's medical health and treatments can be maintained.

By 1900 thousands of Native Americans were studying at almost 150 boarding schools around the United States. The U.S. Training and Industrial School founded in 1879 at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, was the model for most of these schools. Boarding schools like Carlisle provided vocational and manual training and sought to systematically strip away tribal culture. They insisted that students drop their Indian names, forbade the speaking of native languages, and cut off their long hair. Not surprisingly, such schools often met fierce resistance from Native American parents and youth. But the schools also fostered a sense of shared Indian identity that transcended tribal boundaries. The following excerpt (from a paper read by Carlisle founder Capt. Richard H. Pratt at an 1892 convention) spotlights Pratt’s pragmatic and frequently brutal methods for “civilizing” the “savages,” including his analogies to the education and “civilizing” of African Americans.

TRACK TITLE: “16 Horses” The My Peace River project, created by Jody Peck (Miss Quincy) and Jodie Ponto, is a multimedia snapshot of the people, stories, and life in the Peace Valley area of British Columbia Canada.  This area is threatened by the construction of a hydro-electric dam. The purpose of My Peace River project is to bring awareness to the region. It is a collaboration between everyone who has a connection to Peace Valley and forms a cohesive picture of what stands to be lost forever if the Site C dam is constructed. Site C is a disastrous plan to build a giant dam in the Peace River Valley of northeastern BC. It’s  an $8.8 billion project that will flood 83 km of farmland, drown wildlife habitat, and trample indigenous rights — all to supply electricity for dirty tar sands extraction and fracking. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has chosen to go against the wishes of First Nations people and will support this disastrous plan.

Visit them Online….www.mohegantradingpost.com"     Episode Guest: Rick Cuevas…OriginalPechanga.com Introduction: Close your eyes and Imagine for a moment the home that you grew up in. The neighborhood and the town that you spent your childhood. How familiar does it feel to you? The friends you grew up with, other family members that you spent time with regularly. That comfortable and secure feeling. Now imagine one day that you are told that you may no longer live in your home and that in fact, you no longer have a right to stay in it, or the right to even live in your neighborhood. Imagine how you would feel if you suddenly were faced with having to move away from that home, those surroundings...all because someone (else) said you are no longer welcome.  That you are no longer allowed to even stay in your neighborhood. How would you feel?  That’s exactly what happened to our Guest Rick Cuevas.  Rick is a descendant of Paulina Hunter, an original allottee to the Temecula Indian Reservation in California, who was disenrolled from the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians in 2006. Paulina Hunter was disenrolled 107 years after her death, and ALL descendants, living, dead and unborn, had their heritage eliminated.  To bring awareness to this problem and to the very subject of dis-enrollment, He founded "Original Pechanga" a Blog which chronicles cases surrounding tribal dis-enrollment for members of his own people as well as news and information on other dis-enrollment actions around the country.  The Original Pechanga blog was started in March of 2007 and continues to bring awareness about this modern form of Tribal Genocide.

Kevin specializes and reports on the Nuclear waste sector. Mr. Kamps mentioned that the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest groundwater source in the middle of the nation is under a triple threat: 1.) Due to heavy agriculture in the midwest (watering crops), the levels in the aquifer are steadily dropping, and not getting naturally replenished fast enough. (Only about one inch per year from rainfall) 2.) The newly resurrected XL Pipeline project will be built over a good portion of the aquifer.

Mato Nanji’s father, the late Greg Zephier, Sr., was a well-known and highly respected spiritual advisor and spokesperson for the International Indian Treaty Council. In addition to this leadership role, he was an accomplished musician and a member of the musical group, The Vanishing Americans. Formed by Greg and his brothers in the ‘60’s, The Vanishing Americans toured nationally and shared bills with such legends as Bonnie Raitt. Besides being heavily influenced by the music his father and uncles were making, Mato was exposed to Greg’s vast collection of blues records by legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B.

(860) 381-0207   Episode Description:   The Thanksgiving holiday was recently celebrated in the United States. We ask the question, what does the holiday mean to you?  Most Americans truly do not know the origin of thanksgiving, or the “story” of how it all got started. On this episode of Native Opinion, we present the true story of Thanksgiving. The one that American schools refuse to teach to students. The story that most American's denied or ignore because it isn’t a happy tale of happy pilgrims and Indigenous people celebrating life over a meal.  Join hosts Michael Kickingbear and David Grey Owl as they present the true historical account of the thanksgiving holiday most simply refuse to accept. There is also an update on the Dakota Access pipeline, and listener feedback.     Resources from this episode:   TITLE: Native American Museums in the Northeast by Kyle Armstrong • April 14, 2015 SOURCE: http://campuspress.yale.edu/yipp/native-american-museums-in-the-northeast/   TITLE: The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center SOURCE: http://www.pequotmuseum.org   TITLE: Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on Thanksgiving: "It Has Never Been About Honoring Native Americans" STORY NOVEMBER 23, 2016 SOURCE: https://www.democracynow.org/2016/11/23/historian_roxanne_dunbar_ortiz_on_thanksgiving   TITLE: Veterans prepare to join Standing Rock protesters to stop Dakota Access Pipeline Zach Cartwright | November 22, 2016  SOURCE: https://usuncut.com/resistance/veterans-plan-protest-support-standing-rock/   Music:   Track: “Wind Jammin” Artist: Jan Michael Lookingwolf Website: www.lookingwolf.com

(860) 381-0207 Summary: This is episode 52 of Native Opinion, and it marks our one year anniversary since starting our show! In this episode entitled “How Much Would You Pay” Hosts David Greyowl and Michael Kickingbear look at two aspects of the fight around water: 1.) What price will we pay if ground water is poisoned due to oil pipes leaking? When can you no longer trust the water that comes out of your faucets? Where will you go to get water? The Oil Company that caused the problem? Somewhere else? Native American Tribes and allies are fighting hard so that you will still have the right to clean free drinking water. The situation in Standing rock is an example of what extent an Oil Company will go to protect their profits, including violating constitutional rights, Endless treaty violations, and the hiring of Local off-duty law enforcement officers to be complicit in these crimes. 2.) Hour two starts a new series on Native Opinion which takes a hard look at the Nestle company, the largest bottling company in the world. If all available natural drinking water is under the control of a multi-national company like Nestle, how much will we all pay to have access to safe clean drinking water? What is all water is only available in a bottle? What price will we pay if only a few or even ONE company dictates the price of water?

It also states that we would no longer be allowed to speak our Pequot language.” Here is a link to the treaty of Hartford: http://findit.library.yale.edu/bookreader/BookReaderDemo/index.html?oid=10682114#page/1/mode/1up An accounting of the Pequot War as presented by the criminal and murderer of my ancestors,Captain John Mason: http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1042&context=etas A summary of the wars that is presented by staff of our Mashantucket Pequot Museum and research center: 7513cannabis,clinton,court,dakota,donald,education,hillary,history,jill,marijuana,pipeline,politics,stein,trump,votefalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-40-we-acknowledge-ourselves--22494282hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us voice mail: https://www.speakpipe.com/nativeopinion NATIVE NEWS NORTHEASTERN TRIBES TRAVEL TO THE NORTHWEST TO JOIN THE 2016 PADDLE TO NISQUALLY http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/northeastern-tribes-travel-northwest-join-2016-paddle-nisqually/   FEDERAL JUDGE RULES INTERIOR LACKED AUTHORITY TO PUT LAND INTO TRUST FOR THE MASHPEE WAMPANOAG TRIBE http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/federal-judge-rules-interior-lacked-authority-put-land-trust-mashpee-wampanoag-tribe/   FOLLOWUP: THE DAKOTA PIPELINE PROJECT www.rezpectourwater.com https://www.facebook.com/NativeInDC/ HEALTH SEGMENT How to combat the common cold http://www.medicinenet.com/audio/doctorsonhealth/mm_vol6_common_cold.mp3 POLITICS SEGMENT: Clinton wooing a new group of voters: Republicans. https://www.yahoo.com/news/clinton-wooing-group-voters-republicans-205214250.html?ref=gs Why Refugee Olympic Team is heart and soul of Rio Games http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-refugee-olympic-team-is-heart-and-soul-of-rio-games-120304956.html   EXTRA LINKS FROM EPISODE Largest known Mishoon (Canoe) built http://www.pequotmuseum.org/Nookumuhs/ POLYNESIAN VOYAGING SOCIETY http://www.hokulea.com   See Hokulea captain address Narraganset Nation: http://www.tomaquagmuseum.org/podcasts

Will we see these two police officers let off the hook, for what looks to many, like complete abuse of power?  When we see white officers of the law, in most of these cases, overpowering a black man either by physically wrestling him to the ground with three or more people and then shooting or taking him, or as in other cases, shooting them dead in the street….you have to ask the question…. are these cases of an abuse of power and authority?  Or are they….simply mistakes?   Tonight there is a distinct theme as we look at how is justice actually carried out in this country? Because there seem to be different rules for different people….   Native News:   Medical Marijuana Company Lead Sponsor at Gathering of Nations Vincent Schilling 7/6/16 Ultra Health, a national provider for the healthcare cannabis industry with operations and facilities in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, and retail dispensaries to commercial-scale cannabis production in New Mexico and Las Vegas has become the title sponsor for the Gathering of Nations Powwow for 2017. In addition to the sponsorship, the official name of the event will be the "Ultra Health - Gathering of Nations."  This marks the first time a medical cannabis company has sponsored such an event. Ultra Health has agreed to the title sponsorship for the next five years and holds an option to consider sponsorship through 2027.   "The Gathering of Nations Powwow is a very spiritual and social celebration," said Duke Rodriguez, CEO and President of Ultra Health in a company release. "At Ultra Health we believe such components are vital to well-being, and sponsoring the event was an obvious decision in light of the importance Native people have historically put on healing and natural medicine."    Deborah White Plume, whose husband, Alex White Plume has been an advocate for the growing of hemp for decades, says she has mixed emotions about the sponsorship. “First of all, I am curious what the organizers get for sponsorship. But ultimately though I use medical marijuana, I feel this is an exploitative and corporatizing of Native people. I think it would be friendly and respectful if Ultra Health took their name off of the event name, otherwise, it is just another exploitative and oppressive gesture to the red nation.”    http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/07/06/medical-marijuana-company-lead-sponsor-gathering-nations-165042   A deconstruction of Ultra Heath’s promotional video   On the Ultra Health website, they have a promotional video which is VERY pro-native. but not in a goo way. It features a slogan at the beginning which states “In an Industrial World, what is Healthy?”.  From that point on, visuals include shots of the New Mexico countryside, then shots of native traditional drummers, and dancers, then a shot of what looks to be more like a coffee shop from new England, then back to shots of a white girl doing aerobics, and then of a black man running,  then a bit more concerning is a shot of native children when the voiceover mentions “spirituality”. Then next  transitioning to a shot and soundbite of a woman talking about the fact that cannabis is now legal and seen as a medicine.” As she is saying this, there is a shot of a Navajo woman who is unboxing what appears to be “Ultra Heath chocolate bars” which presumably have cannabis in them. it is also worth noting that the only people speaking or consuming cannabis in this video are white.  But as these soundbites are used, shots cut back and forth to NATIVE people dancing, or drumming.  There is even a tribal elder in a headdress dancing. The music in this video is also very questionable.  Possibly a  producers concept of  what they think is “contemporary native music.”  It’s way off base.    Another concern:   On Sept. 11, 2014, about four years after it earned one of the first nonprofit producer’s licenses in the state and set up shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico Top Organics founders—Peter Ferrara, Mark Baker, and their wives, Christina Ferrara and Annie Campbell—signed over 100 percent of the nonprofit dispensary’s revenue to Ultra Health, LLC, a for-profit management firm working in three states. At the helm of the Arizona-based business is Duke Rod­riguez, a former chief financial officer for Lovelace Medical Center, who helped transition the hospital from a nonprofit facility to a for-profit organization and who also served as Human Services Department cabinet secretary under then-Gov. Gary Johnson. Dispensary and cultivation management contracts provided to SFR by the New Mexico Department of Health show that the parties agreed to a 30-year deal granting Ultra Health use of the nonprofit’s license to staff, manage and operate dispensaries around the state in exchange for Ultra Health returning up to $12,500 per calendar year to the nonprofit entity for its “exclusive use and/or charitable purposes.” Ultra Health wouldn’t say how the money was used last year, which individuals make that decision, or whether any other sums changed hands.

Roberts today announced the approval of a $23.5 million loan guarantee to the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) that will allow it to acquire a greater ownership interest in NTUA Wireless, LLC, a telecommunications services company serving the Navajo Nation. The company is a partnership of NTUA and Commnet Wireless, a rural wireless service provider based in Atlanta, Georgia. “I congratulate the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority on becoming the majority owner of the largest tribal telecommunications company in the United States,” Roberts said. “The goal of the Indian Loan Guarantee Program is to build strong, sustainable tribal economies by supporting business development and expansion throughout Indian Country. Thanks to that program, the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority can move forward in building out the reservation’s telecommunication network for the benefit of the Navajo Nation and its people.” The loan guarantee, issued by the Indian Affairs Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development, enables NTUA to acquire a 51 percent interest in the telecommunications services company , making it America’s largest wireless/internet business primarily owned and operated by a tribal enterprise.     Title:  Comey: FBI didn’t put Clinton under oath By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 7, 2016   Hillary Clinton was not put under oath and there is no transcript of her interview with the FBI, Director James Comey told Congress on Thursday. Mr. Comey said it’s still a crime if she lied to his agents — though he said he doesn’t believe that happened. Republicans have called for the FBI’s interview with Mrs. Clinton to be released so her public defense of her secret email system can be stacked up with what she told agents. But Mr. Comey said no transcript exists. Testifying before the House Oversight Committee, Mr. Comey revealed other new details both about Mrs. Clinton’s secret email account and about the parameters of his bureau’s investigation into it. He indicated they did see evidence that foreign governments tried to gain access to Mrs. Clinton’s server, though it’s impossible to know whether they succeeded. He said they didn’t find definitive evidence one way or the other. Mr. Comey also said Mrs. Clinton agreed to make herself available for the interview on Saturday, which lasted three and a half hours and involved about half-dozen agents. Mr. Comey said he was not there.   http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/7/comey-fbi-didnt-put-clinton-under-oath/   Summary:    My question would be: How can you conduct an effective investigation without recording the interviews? You can’t. You can’t use someone’s memory as evidence if it came down to indictments. Memories are not admissible.   Bernie appears to be out of the presidential race News Source: CNN http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/06/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democratic-platform/   Well, we have to say it’s official without saying it’s official…Bernie Sanders appears to be getting set to endorse Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee.  This is news that on this show we did not wish to have to give. We have this from two news sources…. CNN who wrote:   “Bernie Sanders is poised to endorse Hillary Clinton at a campaign event Tuesday in New Hampshire, provided that final disagreements in the Democratic platform can be resolved during a weekend party meeting in Orlando, people familiar with the talks say. For three weeks, Sanders has been steadily walking closer to throwing his full support behind Clinton but has been withholding a formal endorsement until the platform is written. He repeated his pledge to help defeat Donald Trump again Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg View's Al Hunt.” Sadly, here on our show we truly held the belief that Bernie was staying in the race as there was the main question of Hillary Clinton possibly being indicted. I myself in particular (Michael) was completely convinced based on a recent chain of factual events:   1.) Bernie met with president  Obama were (I believe) he asked Bernie to concede. Bernie didn't. I also believe that President Obama made it known at that time that he will campaign with Hillary.   2.) Bernie then met with non-presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton to discuss with her

Will we see these two police officers let off the hook, for what looks to many, like complete abuse of power?  When we see white officers of the law, in most of these cases, overpowering a black man either by physically wrestling him to the ground with three or more people and then shooting or taking him, or as in other cases, shooting them dead in the street….you have to ask the question…. are these cases of an abuse of power and authority?  Or are they….simply mistakes?   Tonight there is a distinct theme as we look at how is justice actually carried out in this country? Because there seem to be different rules for different people….   Native News:   Medical Marijuana Company Lead Sponsor at Gathering of Nations Vincent Schilling 7/6/16 Ultra Health, a national provider for the healthcare cannabis industry with operations and facilities in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, and retail dispensaries to commercial-scale cannabis production in New Mexico and Las Vegas has become the title sponsor for the Gathering of Nations Powwow for 2017. In addition to the sponsorship, the official name of the event will be the "Ultra Health - Gathering of Nations."  This marks the first time a medical cannabis company has sponsored such an event. Ultra Health has agreed to the title sponsorship for the next five years and holds an option to consider sponsorship through 2027.   "The Gathering of Nations Powwow is a very spiritual and social celebration," said Duke Rodriguez, CEO and President of Ultra Health in a company release. "At Ultra Health we believe such components are vital to well-being, and sponsoring the event was an obvious decision in light of the importance Native people have historically put on healing and natural medicine."    Deborah White Plume, whose husband, Alex White Plume has been an advocate for the growing of hemp for decades, says she has mixed emotions about the sponsorship. “First of all, I am curious what the organizers get for sponsorship. But ultimately though I use medical marijuana, I feel this is an exploitative and corporatizing of Native people. I think it would be friendly and respectful if Ultra Health took their name off of the event name, otherwise, it is just another exploitative and oppressive gesture to the red nation.”    http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/07/06/medical-marijuana-company-lead-sponsor-gathering-nations-165042   A deconstruction of Ultra Heath’s promotional video   On the Ultra Health website, they have a promotional video which is VERY pro-native. but not in a goo way. It features a slogan at the beginning which states “In an Industrial World, what is Healthy?”.  From that point on, visuals include shots of the New Mexico countryside, then shots of native traditional drummers, and dancers, then a shot of what looks to be more like a coffee shop from new England, then back to shots of a white girl doing aerobics, and then of a black man running,  then a bit more concerning is a shot of native children when the voiceover mentions “spirituality”. Then next  transitioning to a shot and soundbite of a woman talking about the fact that cannabis is now legal and seen as a medicine.” As she is saying this, there is a shot of a Navajo woman who is unboxing what appears to be “Ultra Heath chocolate bars” which presumably have cannabis in them. it is also worth noting that the...]]>8171audio,clinton,court,education,hillary,history,justice,law,lives,matter,murder,podcast,police,politics,supremeblack,trump,youtubefalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-35-native-burden--22494175hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook.com/nativeopinion    Sally Jewel Addresses NCAI General Assembly Audio Source: National Native News   Background: Sally Jewell was sworn in as the 51st Secretary of the Interior on April 12, 2013.   As Secretary of the Interior, Jewell leads an agency with more than 70,000 employees.

This is the 26th in a series of 44 stories exploring past presidents’ attitudes toward Native Americans, challenges and triumphs regarding tribes, and the federal laws and Indian policies enacted during their terms in office. When Theodore Roosevelt took office in 1901, he already had a long legacy of animosity toward American Indians. Seventeen years earlier, Roosevelt, then a young widower, left New York in favor of the Dakotas, where he built a ranch, rode horses and wrote about life on the frontier. When he returned to the east, he famously asserted that “the most vicious cowboy has more moral principle than the average Indian.” Roosevelt’s seven and a half years in office were marked by his support of the Indian allotment system, the removal of Indians from their lands and the destruction of their culture.  In his first message to Congress, in December 1901, Roosevelt called the General Allotment Act “a mighty pulverizing engine to break up the tribal mass.” Under the act, passed in 1887, more than 60,000 Indians had already become citizens, but “the effort should be to steadily make the Indian work like any other man on his own ground,” Roosevelt said. “In my judgment the time has arrived when we should definitely make up our minds to recognize the Indian as an individual and not as a member of a tribe,” he said. “The Indian should be treated as a individual—like the white man.” But Indians were not equal to whites, Roosevelt told Congress. Although he viewed education as a vehicle of assimilation, Roosevelt stressed that Indian education should be “elementary and largely industrial,” and that the need of higher education was “very, very limited.”   Read more at http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/06/28/theodore-roosevelt-only-good-indians-are-dead-indians-164939   Trumps War On Natives   Over the past few months, we have been telling you that Donald Trump is no friend to Indian Country.  He has consistently demonstrated that he is no friend to minorities as a whole.  But tonight we are going to focus a bit on Indian country, and what we feel are concrete examples of why many native people feel this way.    But some people may be wondering why suddenly there is this surge of Trump attacks against native people?  Many people only know Donald Trump though his Television show “The Apprentice”. Others only know him as New York Business man.  But myself, I know Donald J Trump because of his dealings with close tribal relatives of mine.  Relatives that Donald Trump sought to exploit. You see, shortly after the opening of Foxwoods Resort Casino, which is owned and operated by my tribe, the Mashantucket Pequots , other tribes here in Connecticut were also pursuing Federal Recognition.  In fact, they had been pursuing federal recognition just as long as my tribe had.

Guest: Michael's Son joins the show from California ARTICLE 1: Federal officials: Eastern Pequots, second tribe have ‘exhausted’ recognition efforts Published June 07. 2016 6:44PM | Updated June 08. 2016 1:00AM By SUSAN HAIGH HARTFORD (AP) — The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has notified two state-recognized tribes in Connecticut that they've exhausted both administrative and judicial remedies for gaining federal recognition, a claim rebuffed by the leaders of both tribes who vowed to keep pursuing their applications. R. Lee Fleming, the director of the Office of Federal Acknowledgement, said "the only available remedy" now available to the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe in North Stonington and the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation in Kent is Congress passing legislation granting them federal recognition. Fleming sent similar letters to the Eastern Pequots on June 2 and the Schaghticokes on April 25. The recognition would make the tribes eligible for federal aid for such things as housing, health care and education. It also would give them the ability to pursue economic development, such as casinos. Richard Velky, chief of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation, said the letter sent to his attorney came as a complete surprise. He said the tribe does not have any applications currently pending. "I was taken aback. Why is this guy sending my attorney a letter like this when we requested nothing from him," Velky said. http://www.theday.com/statenortheast/20160607/federal-officials-eastern-pequots-second-tribe-have-exhausted-recognition-efforts Article 2: Gathering of Nations Announces New ABQ Home at Tingley Coliseum The 34th Annual Gathering of Nations will be from April 27 to 29, 2017.

Seemingly without irony or self-awareness, she uses the images of powerful women of color like Shirley Chisholm to sell her campaign to women, working people and people of color. Many who identify themselves as feminist seem to believe that any progress made by an individual woman, particularly a wealthy white woman, translates into progress for the rest of us. It does not. Wealth does not trickle down, nor does societal power. Dismantling oppression just doesn’t work that way. A few token members of an oppressed group being allowed into the halls of power will not set the rest of us free, and it’s disheartening to see people in 2016 still looking to women like Gloria Steinem, Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton as saviors of women.

 This election has so far seen a variety of caucus-related issues, primarily, it seems, on the Democratic side. Another such case, this time regarding the Colorado caucus, has just been revealed, thanks to reporting by The Denver Post. On April 12, the Colorado Democratic Party admitted to miscounting the results in ten percent of the state’s precincts in caucus. The Denver Post discussed in detail the potential consequences of this miscount: ‘The mistake is a minor shift with major implications. The new projection now shows the Vermont senator winning 39 delegates in Colorado, compared to 27 for Clinton. Even if Clinton wins all 12 superdelegates in the state, Sanders can finish no worse than a split decision. The new count contrasts with  prior projections from The Post, Bloomberg Politics and The Associated Press that indicated  Clinton would probably win the majority of the 78 delegates in Colorado because of her support from party leaders with superdelegate status. If Sanders lands one Colorado superdelegate — two are still undecided and others are  facing significant pressure — he could win the state’s delegation.’ What is most controversial about this issue isn’t the fact that a mistake was made, but the fact that a mistake was made and the Colorado Democratic Party tried to cover it up rather than fix it. The Sanders campaign was not informed about the miscount, while the Clinton campaign was.

June 7th Super Tuesday was being built up as the last of the Primaries, excluding Washington DC. as of the date of this broadcast, Bernie Sanders is still in the race, The media has declared Hillary Clinton of the “Presuptive Nominee” and President Obama and Vice President Biden have officially endorsed Clinton for President for the Democratic party. But….. What if you found out that there was voter fraud being pretreated on the American people? What if you found out that…out of no fault of your own…. your vote was never counted? As a “Good American Citizen” you were just doing your “Civil Duty” to cast your vote for either the person of your choice, or the person from the Party of your choice. So you went to your local polling place during this past primary season, and cast your vote. But what if it wasn't’ counted? Would you know? Would it it matter to you? We think it does….

Guest: Michael's Son joins the show from California ARTICLE 1: Federal officials: Eastern Pequots, second tribe have ‘exhausted’ recognition efforts Published June 07. 2016 6:44PM | Updated June 08. 2016 1:00AM By SUSAN HAIGH HARTFORD (AP) — The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has notified two state-recognized tribes in Connecticut that they've exhausted both administrative and judicial remedies for gaining federal recognition, a claim rebuffed by the leaders of both tribes who vowed to keep pursuing their applications. R. Lee Fleming, the director of the Office of Federal Acknowledgement, said "the only available remedy" now available to the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe in North Stonington and the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation in Kent is Congress passing legislation granting them federal recognition. Fleming sent similar letters to the Eastern Pequots on June 2 and the Schaghticokes on April 25. The recognition would make the tribes eligible for federal aid for such things as housing, health care and education. It also would give them the ability to pursue economic development, such as casinos. Richard Velky, chief of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation, said the letter sent to his attorney came as a complete surprise. He said the tribe does not have any applications currently pending. "I was taken aback. Why is this guy sending my attorney a letter like this when we requested nothing from him," Velky said. http://www.theday.com/statenortheast/20160607/federal-officials-eastern-pequots-second-tribe-have-exhausted-recognition-efforts Article 2: Gathering of Nations Announces New ABQ Home at Tingley Coliseum The 34th Annual Gathering of Nations will be from April 27 to 29, 2017.

Seemingly without irony or self-awareness, she uses the images of powerful women of color like Shirley Chisholm to sell her campaign to women, working people and people of color. Many who identify themselves as feminist seem to believe that any progress made by an individual woman, particularly a wealthy white woman, translates into progress for the rest of us. It does not. Wealth does not trickle down, nor does societal power. Dismantling oppression just doesn’t work that way. A few token members of an oppressed group being allowed into the halls of power will not set the rest of us free, and it’s disheartening to see people in 2016 still looking to women like Gloria Steinem, Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton as saviors of women.

Then the context. The news is: The Eastern Pequot Tribe has renewed its pursuit of federal recognition, a crucial status it won in a 2002 Bureau of Indian Affairs decision that was reversed three years later. In a petition sent last month to the BIA, the tribe — identifying itself as the “Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe” — asks the agency to “declare and reaffirm” its status as a “Previously Federally Acknowledged Tribe.” Summary: Taken from the article. What does this mean for The Eastern Pequot Nation? Following a lengthy overhaul of the federal-recognition process, the Interior Department adopted new regulations last year that many believed would preclude the Eastern Pequots and other tribes that had been denied recognition from resurrecting their claims. “Any petitioner that was previously denied Federal acknowledgment under this process may not re-petition,” the Interior Department announced. “This includes any petitioners that have reorganized or been renamed or that are wholly or primarily portions of groups that have been denied under these or previous acknowledgment regulations.” The Easterns’ petition, submitted by James Benny Jones Jr., a Washington, D.C.-based attorney and a member of the tribe, contends that the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe “has never previously petitioned for Federal acknowledgment as either the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe or under its constitutional government of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.” Jones did not respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. In 2002, the BIA acknowledged the Eastern Pequot Indians and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indians as one group, the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe. The state and the towns of Ledyard, North Stonington, and Preston joined a challenge of the decision, prompting the Interior Board of Indian Appeals to review it. The Interior Department announced in October 2005 that it declined to recognize the Eastern Pequots and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequots, ruling that both tribal factions failed to meet two of seven mandatory requirements for acknowledgment. The department found that the state’s recognition of the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe did not constitute evidence that the tribe had existed as a “community” or that it had maintained “political authority and influence” over its members from historical times to the present.   Article 2:   Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts isn't worried about a lawsuit filed by casino opponents. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts isn't worried about a lawsuit filed by casino opponents. The tribe broke ground on the First Light Resort and Casino in early April. Opponents are asking a federal judge to halt construction but Chairman Cedric Cromwell said the facility is on track to open in the summer of 2017. "We do not see this lawsuit against the federal government as having any impact on our progress,' Cromwell told The Cape Cod Times. The tribe appears to be on the strong legal ground because the complaint in Littlefield v. Department of the Interior names the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the defendant. Due to sovereign immunity, the tribe cannot be sued without its consent. "In no other case has a court had to confront a sovereign tribe, put into immediate possession of trust lands, starting to construct a casino before any judicial review has occurred," attorney David Tennant, who is representing the casino opponents, said in an affidavit that was filed in support of a request to halt construction on the project. The BIA approved the land-into-trust application for the casino last fall and the land was declared a reservation in January. Summary: Once again, the attempts to halt Native progress is in full swing. It does not matter if it is wearing an Eagle feather at a graduation, or a project that will help Natives become, or stay self-sufficient. Even though I am not a supporter of Indian gaming, and there is a good reason why I am not a supporter, the fact remains, there are forces at work that are determined to halt ANY progress Natives try to make. That has been the case since contact.   Article 3: Title: This Date in History: American Indians Gain Citizenship – June 2, 1924 BY NATIVE NEWS ONLINE STAFF / CURRENTS / 02 JUN 2016 Published June 2, 2016    Summary: Imagine that! We were made citizens in our own country! 91 years ago, Congress passed and President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, which stated “all noncitizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby declared to be, citizens of the United States: Provided that the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.”  Only a non-Native would presume and assume the right to decide the fates of those who they have no right to judge, rule, or treat less than human.   The Clintons’ Haiti Screw-Up, As Told By Hillary’s Emails The family still doesn't know how to wield its own power. By Jonathan M. Katz September 02, 2015 It’s hard to find anyone these days who looks back on the U.S.-led response to the January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake as a success, but it wasn’t always that way. Right after the disaster, even as neighborhoods lay in rubble, their people sweltering under tarps, the consensus—outside Haiti—was that America’s “compassionate invasion” (as TIME Magazine called it) had been “largely a success” (Los Angeles Times), offering further proof that “in critical moments of the history of mankind … the United States is, in fact, the indispensable nation” (Expresso, Portugal). As the latest release of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails by the U.S. State Department Monday revealed, that perception was not an accident. “We waged a very successful campaign against the negative stories concerning our involvement in Haiti,” Judith McHale, the under-secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, wrote on February 26, 2010. Read more: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/hillary-clinton-email-213110#ixzz4AXqQTLaD  Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook  Summary:   How is it an entire population of people, (speaking in general), are not able to see the forest for the trees? The Clintons did not make an effort to assist the people of Haiti the way they led the world to believe. The Red Cross is not exempt from the lack of aid that should have been rendered to Haiti. Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes for Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In Donations.  The Clinton’s own daughter was less than enthused with what she saw happening, and even less of what should have been happening. According to, Chelsea Clinton, and I quote:     “The incompetence is mind numbing,” she told her parents. “The UN people I encountered were frequently out of touch … anachronistic in their thinking at best and arrogant and incompetent at worst.” “There is NO accountability in the UN system or international humanitarian system.” The weak Haitian government, which had lost buildings and staff in the disaster, had something of a plan, she noted. Yet because it had failed to articulate its wishes quickly enough, foreigners rushed forward with a “proliferation of ad hoc efforts by the UN and INGOs [international nongovernmental organizations] to ‘help,’ some of which have helped … some of which have hurt … and some which have not happened at all.” End quote. Is it possible the former “First daughter” is not swayed but the aroma of money and power? We can only hope.   Read more: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/hillary-clinton-email-213110#ixzz4AXrgR7Z4  Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook   Title:   Main Stream News Media delegate estimate  The media fix is in. Tuesday, June 7th, mainstream media plans to call the democratic primary over, and Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party at 8PM eastern. This is a deliberate attempt by the media to affect voter turnout in California by making people believe it isn't worth getting out to vote. You will see the media stating that Hillary Clinton only needs 70-90 votes to win. This is false because they are counting SUPER DELEGATES in those projections. They have been doing that since the beginning, and they are all wrong. Super delegates only vote AT the democratic convention in July. The media is purposefully inflating Hillary Clintons voter numbers to sway public opinion away from Bernie Sanders. The race is much closer between her and Senator Sanders. Do NOT believe what the media is telling you! California....please VOTE on Tuesday!

Then the context. The news is that Deborah Parker has been named to the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee. That’s both remarkable and important. She was appointed by Bernie Sanders. As Nicole Willis posted on Facebook: “I am beyond pleased that American Indian and Alaska Native issues are such a high priority for this campaign– so much that one of our platform spots has gone to Deborah Parker!” (Willis is the National Tribal Outreach Director for the Sanders’ campaign.)   Summary: What does this mean for Indian country? Well, it could mean good things for Indian country IF everyone follows through, and people are not paying lip service to win the Native vote. Ms. Parker is respected, knowledgeable and a forward-looking individual when it comes to Native concerns. Here are some of her accomplishments.    Ms. Parker, a former vice chairman of the Tulalip Tribes in Washington, was an early supporter of Sanders. Parker has much to offer any platform committee. First, she understands and can communicate the relationship between tribes and the federal government and what might be possible in terms of improvement. Second, Parker was a critical voice in the enactment of the Violence Against Women Act. She adds expertise and credibility   Article 2:    Tribal leaders call for return of remains, sacred items before auction By Emily Zentner | Cronkite News Tuesday, May 24, 2016  cronkitenews.azpbs.org/   Native Americans protest planned auction in France of sacred objects and human remains By Peggy McGlone May 24 washingtonpost.com   Summary: What are people thinking? Wait! I know! It USED to belong to Indians. They don’t exist any longer. WRONG! We do still exist. It is a common practice for non-Natives to sell articles that used to belong to their ancestors. I am not surprised they have no respect for the ancestors of Natives. Many cultures (European cultures come to mind), have no respect for other cultures, especially Native American culture(s).  As, Mr. Bradley Marshall of the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council states, he called the auction “deplorable” and said “items are living beings that belong to their communities. When we create objects we are in prayer, and a spirit goes into them,” he said. “They are part of our families.”   Title:  State Department report slams Clinton email use By Ryan Browne and Evan Perez, CNN Updated 6:23 PM ET, Wed May 25, 2016 cnn.com   A State Department Inspector General report said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed to follow the rules or inform key department staff regarding her use of a private email server, according to a copy of the report obtained by CNN on Wednesday.   Summary:   Hillary Clinton failed to follow State Department rules involving her email servers. I am not surprised she failed to follow the rules. Positions of power sometimes lead to the assumption of “the rules don’t apply to me.” Clinton has failed to disclose that minor detail about her not following the Department rules. I am not sure she is not the only person to not follow the Department email rules, but she IS the only one running for the office of the President of the United States. I believe that is a detail she should have cleared up before deciding to run for office, again, and a problem that should disqualify her from running.   Title: Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior   Dan Calabrese June 13, 2013, at 10:14am westernjournalism.com   Summary:     The article, although a reprint, warrants discussion. Why? Because it helps to substantiate, Clinton’s track record of not telling the truth. Here are a couple of quotes from one of her former supervisors, Jerry Zeifman, a now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, and a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee.    “Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.” Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”   Title:   Michelle Obama to SFIS grads: ‘Our world needs you’ By Robert Nott The New Mexican 27 May, 2016 Updated 3 hours ago Source:   m.santafenewmexican.com/   Summary:   The First Lady was the keynote speaker at the Santa Fe Indian School in Northern New Mexico. I was able to attend that event, via a live podcast. The First Lady was, as always a down to earth speaker who was able to relate to her audience. Mrs. Obama received a gracious welcome as only Indian country can provide. Her comments were well-received by those who attended the ceremony of the graduating class of 2016. Congratulations to all of the Santa Fe Indian School, graduating class of 2016! To use a phrase the First Lady stated; “Our world needs you.”

A poll that you aren't quite sure all or most of the respondents are Native people or one where you are pretty sure are?   Resources that you can use to balance what you are hearing from non-native defenders of the poll:   https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2013/08/07/the-politics-of-jeff-bezos/ https://twitter.com/VinceSchilling http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/05/20/offended-redskins-indian-country-twitter-poll-164554 http://www.tytnetwork.com http://www.indianz.com/News/2016/05/23/vincent-schilling-mascot-poll-doesnt-ref.asp https://twitter.com/blackhorse_a   TO REACH OUR SHOW: Website: http://www.nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us a Voice Message!: https://www.speakpipe.com/nativeopinion

Hillary Clinton's Native Adviser, Holly Cook Macarro is Wife of a TYRANT, Who Harms Native Americans. Summary: Over Ten Thousand Native Americans have been harmed by their own tribal leaders and they look for justice. Is Hillary Clinton the right president for them? We already KNOW that Trump is not right for America. With her choice for Native American advisor, now we see why her "HONEST and Trustworthy" poll numbers are so low. Her Native American Adviser is none other that lobbyist Holly Cook Macarro, who supported her husband's efforts to steal water from Temecula Indian Reservation allottees, going so far as to write a bill doing just that. Mrs. Macarro's husband, under his tenure as Chairman of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians in Temecula, California, there have been numerous gross violations of human and civil rights committed against tribal members. As a result, over 300 tribal members, many elders and children, have been stripped of their tribal citizenship. Many hundred more eligible tribal members have been denied enrollment with the tribe as well. The results of the gross human and civil rights violations did not stop at dis-enrollment, as each victim was stripped of voting rights, healthcare, education, and elder benefits/assistance.

WTF does she know about Native issues, other than being married to a tiny Native dictator? Reinstatement_Restitution said... It is clearly a token effort to show interest in Indian issues. To the Clinton campaign Indian issues mean very little otherwise, she would have retained a more respected advisor. Kumeyaay Queen said... "There Corruption will fail". Ther foundation is money and not the Spiritual creator. "The earth will Cry for many days "and their ignorance will be known when the Capital is Charged with fire and energy. Close of the show.

Black Hills Sacred Site land in trust Why do the nine tribes constituting the Great Sioux Nation, including those on Pine Ridge, staunchly refuse to accept $1.3 billion from the federal government? The refusal of the money pivots on a feud that dates back to the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, signed by Sioux tribes and Gen. William T. Sherman, that guaranteed the tribes “undisturbed use and occupation” of a swath of land that included the Black Hills, a resource-rich region of western South Dakota. But in 1877, one year after Gen. George Armstrong Custer’s infamous defeat at the hands of Crazy Horse at Little Bighorn and without the consent of “three-fourths of all adult male Indians” stipulated by the treaty, the government seized the Black Hills, along with their gold, and began profiting from the protected land.   On November 30th, 2012, Rosebud Sioux Tribal Chairman Cyril “Whitey” Scott, the purchase of the sacred lands in the black ills as a done deal. “I can tell you that Pe' Sla, the sacred land on behalf of the Oceti Sakowin, is secured. The $9 million was secured, Pe' Sla has been purchased.”   Additional Article Sources: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/06/28/reclaiming-sacred-black-hills http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/north_america-july-dec11-blackhills_08-23/     3.) Should Tribes Trademark Their Names? In the United States, Native American names and symbols appear on many company products. Jeep Cherokee, Pontiac cars, Shawmut Bank, Mohawk Paper Company, Crazy Horse Malt Liquor and Sioux Industries are just a few examples. The federal and state systems of trademark registration can be a powerful way for Native American Nations to register and protect their names - and to stop companies from using their names on products, such as the Jeep Cherokee. trademark law regulates and protects the names and slogans that companies use to sell their products. The names and symbols of indigenous groups may be among the few remaining resources or cultural properties of many indigenous societies. Can the unauthorized use of Native names and symbols be stopped?
