The conditions people in America are living in should not be happening. America is one of the wealthiest nations on the planet and people are starving by the millions. People have been reduced to steal food just to survive. Sadly, our lawmakers have proven they do not care about the struggles of the American people.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode of Native Opinion, we welcome Jonathan Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) who discusses with us the effect of COVID–19 on his tribe, The American education system, and its lack of American Indian curriculum in public schools, and also Massachusetts upcoming "Plymouth 400” commemoration & and everything wrong with Thanksgiving as an American Holiday.

GUEST BIO:

**Jonathan Perry is an Aquinnah Wampanoag culture bearer, leader, historian, artist and professional speaker. He is grounded in the traditions of his ocean-going ancestors. His material work embodies the refined quality of that of his ancestors, while still drawing upon his experience in a contemporary society.

Jonathan’s pieces reflect balance within the Natural World, incorporating stories, effigies, and symbology of Wampanoag traditions. He is currently serving his fifth, three-year term as Councilman for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah). Jonathan works diligently to enforce and uphold the sovereignty of his tribal nation as well as to maintain cultural continuance among his tribal citizens. He has over fifteen years of experience working within the Tribal Historic Preservation Office, with the responsibility of protecting and preserving cultural sites of significance throughout southern New England.

He currently works for the Elders Council at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation to ensure cultural continuity and preservation within the community. Jonathan has over twenty years of experience in the research and historical interpretation of Eastern Woodlands Native culture and art.

He has worked with various non-profit and tribal organizations in exhibit design and cultural consultation based on traditional Wampanoag knowledge, symbolism, and values. Jonathan was most recently awarded the 2017 First People’s Fund Jennifer Easton Community Spirit Award for his work in reviving Wampanoag maritime traditions.**

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Non-native fishermen in Nova Scotia continued to add insult to injury in their quest to keep Mi’kmaq fishermen from exercising their inherent and treaty-guaranteed fishing rights. In what can only be described as a brilliant, stroke of maneuvering, the Mi’kmaq fishermen purchased a 50 percent stake in the very company that buys the catches from those waters. Bravo!

TITLE: “Truth Be Told: Wampanoag Nation and Thanksgiving As We Know It”

With Aquinnah Tribal Councilman, Jonathon James Perry.

WHEN: Thursday November 19 from 5–6 pm eastern

WHERE: via Zoom

DESCRIPTION:

As public health professionals, we must always take a critical look at the stories we are told and accept as the ultimate truth.

2020 is the 400th year anniversary of the Pilgrims arriving on the shores of Wampanoag Nation.

Please join Graduate Student Life as we welcome Jonathan James-Perry, an Aquinnah Wampanoag culture bearer, leader, historian, artist and professional speaker for a conversation about the origins of Thanksgiving from the Wampanoag account. From tribal cultural preservation to reclamation, we hope this event will continue the conversation on traditional oral history, foods, culture, and indigenous health.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Oppression comes in many forms. For the Sipekne’katik First Nation community in Canada, it’s white commercial lobster fishermen who have committed violence towards commuity members when new lobster fishery was established by the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Outpouring of support has been swift by the community in defence of the Mi’kMaq. We discuss…

Plus… we share an article about the importance of seed saving, distributing to others, and the sacredness of food during the time of Covid and beyond.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

When we fail to do what is required of us to protect our elders and the young, those people suffer because of adopted colonial behaviors and mentalities. We cannot afford to allow the weakest of us to do without no matter the sacrifices those of us who can do something, have to make.
