EPISODE SUMMARY:

Survival of our people in modern times comes in many forms. Despite what seems like endless attempts to continue to erase us from American history, it’ s impirtant to have a point of reference in everything. From the so-called “founding of our country” to legislative changes, we as indigenoius people have to understand it all becuase it affects us all.

In this episode, Co-host Michael Kickingbear provides a hisytory lesson omn the founding of America, and what role organized religion played. We also look at a new Covid–19 study of neurological symptions, Hopi leaders looking to congress to enact “life changing” diabetes program, and in Canada, the Mi’kmaw are in a continued fight over lobster fishing rights, and The Biden-Harris campaign announces its plan for Indian Country. Will be be seen positively or negatively?

EPISODE SUMMARY:

We are approximately 34 days to the 2020 election. Indigenous citizens (AKA Native Americans) of the United States are entitled to vote in this country. The hateful political environment that has been created in this country is higher than at no other time in modern history. Much of this is over power and control of the country. For those who want to maintain that power, they seek to have as few people turn out for the vote. That means making it as difficult for our people to vote and discourage us. The way to fight, is to vote like our lives are on the line. Because in some ways, they might very well be.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

With Joe Biden now the Democratic Party’s official choice to run for the presidency, part of the many promises given is to enact aspects of what is known as the “Green New Deal”. But what exactly is that? We explore. Also, within the promises given, help for Indian country. But is it really anything new? We raise some skepticism.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Racist theology is deeply embedded in the DNA of white Christian churches, influencing even their theology on salvation, PRRI founder Robert Jones argues in a new book. Also, National Parks and Trails in the United States and Canada erase Indigenous identity. We explore why.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Joe Biden has finally chosen his running mate. That of Senator Kamala Harris. She could become the country’s first person of color to become Vice President of the United States. But what does Indian Country think of Biden’s choice?

Also…

The United States Census and Tribes. Should Native Americans bother being counted for the census? Has the quality of life improved for native people in the past 30 years? (3 census counts constitute 30 years) We examine this.

And…

Trump’s pick to head up the Bureau of Land Management should have Tribes DEEPLY on edge…
