EPISODE SUMMARY:

In our realities of self quarrentines, Armed citizens acting like militia, and the attitude of a Federal government who has arbitrairily decided (for all of us) that its more important to “Open America for business” than it is to protect American lives. We look at what some tribes are doing to protect thier citizens, and how they have to fight not only the virus, but the state that surrounds them.

Also, Why are Liquor Stores and Gun Shops considered “Essential Businesses”?

Also, what are the “Hidden Cost” of formally recognizing Native American Tribes by the Federal Government?

The Native Opinion theme song “Honor The People” is by Casper Loma Da Wa. FIND THE SONG AND MORE OF HIS MUSIC HERE:

EPISODE SUMMARY:

The responce by the Federal Government of America to the Covid–19 pandemic has been irresponcible and (as former President Obama has stated in a leaked call) “chaotic”. However, that chaos is hurting millions of people, and Indian Country is included. For example, Cares Act money has not reached the Indian Health Service, and we look at a law suit filed in federal distric court. Will Indian country see any of that money to aid us in fighting Covid–19?

* DAKOTA 38 + 2 DOCUMENTARY **

**In the spring of 2005, Jim Miller, a Native spiritual leader and Vietnam veteran, found himself in a dream riding on horseback across the great plains of South Dakota. Just before he awoke, he arrived at a riverbank in Minnesota and saw 38 of his Dakota ancestors hanged. At the time, Jim knew nothing of the largest mass execution in United States history, ordered by Abraham Lincoln on December 26, 1862. “When you have dreams, you know when they come from the creator… As any recovered alcoholic, I made believe that I didn’t get it. I tried to put it out of my mind, yet it’s one of those dreams that bothers you night and day.”

Now, four years later, embracing the message of the dream, Jim and a group of riders retrace the 330-mile route of his dream on horseback from Lower Brule, South Dakota to Mankato, Minnesota to arrive at the hanging site on the anniversary of the execution. “We can’t blame the wasichus anymore. We’re doing it to ourselves. We’re selling drugs. We’re killing our own people. That’s what this ride is about, is healing.” This is the story of their journey- the blizzards they endure, the Native and Non-Native communities that house and feed them along the way, and the dark history they are beginning to wipe away.**

EPISODE SUMMARY:

People generally believe in thier country. 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.

FEATURED MUSIC THIS WEEK IS BY RECORDING ARTIST A TRIBE CALLED RED

TRACK: “LAND BACK” LISTEN TO IT HERE

**The Halluci Nation would like to dedicate this song in support of the Wet’suwet’en nation and to the Indigenous lead movements across Turtle Island and beyond.

We oppose the invasion of sovereign Indigenous lands by the RCMP and the Coastal GasLink pipeline. We stand with the Wet’suwet’en people and their hereditary chiefs. We stand with all the people working to support their fight.

We will be making this song available to download for free and free to be used for anyone working to defend the Wet’suwet’en territories and all action that defend the right of Indigenous land sovereignty and to promote a true nation to nation discussion between the Indigenous nations of Turtle Island and our Canadian settlers. Until our Canadians are willing to treat the Indigenous nations of this land with the respect due, a sovereign people’s reconciliation will remain an empty gesture.

It was the work of our good friend Whess Harman that inspired us to give the song away to the movement. Not only because of their work in the frontlines of resistance in Vancouver, but also because they are using their art for the movement. Whess designed the “Land Back” patch that is featured in our cover art, and has been selling them to raise money for the Unist’ot’en Camp Legal Fund. We will be making a donation to the same fund for our use of Whess’ art. We encourage you to donate to the legal fund as well by following this link:**

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.
