The US prides itself in asserting the rule of law.... but not always! The tyranny of authoritarian rule is known by Native people too well.
Many of the most egregious legal doctrines used to oppress Native peoples were created and affirmed by the US Supreme Court. They have been doing this for over 200 years. It is nothing new.
This act was and is a war crime! Honoring us, my ass!
In this consequential episode of "Resistance Radio" with advocate John Kane, an in-depth discussion takes place about the historical misconceptions and inaccuracies surrounding Native Americans and the fight for their rights. The talk challenges listeners to rethink a narrative that labels Native Americans as "wards of the state," highlighting the implications such assumptions hold for their rights and sovereignty. Kane fervently challenges the legitimacy of laws like the Indian Gaming Regulator...
In this revealing episode, John Kane navigates listeners through the intricate history and legal complexities endured by Native American communities concerning land rights in the United States. Providing a thorough exploration of the historical contradictions and affronts that have influenced Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations, Kane clarifies perspectives on American Indigenous rights. He guides us through intricate legal cases that underscore the continuance of disagreement over land owner...
Many of King's quotes and speeches have been white washed and misinterpreted. Let's talk about some of his thoughts and words as they relate to Native people and the true "original sins" of the USA.
The news media outlets refuse to say why Native mascots are banned and simply say schools are being forced to change them because of a State ban. All this does is feed the "culture war" frenzy.
But it's not just killing people that makes it genocide. Let's talk about land claims, indigeneity, ancestry, history and who is from where.
A bit of a recap of the year and some scary foreboding for the year we are coming into.
Lance is the former Chairman of the Shinnecock Nation and current Regional VP of the National Congress of the American Indian. We talk "recognition", NCAI, Montaukett, mascots and pretendians.
My old school that I took on over their mascot lost their appeal to the State Supreme Court. This fight led to the statewide ban. The Senecas and NYS agree to extend the current gaming compact as the Governor continues her squeeze on Seneca gaming revenue. And Governor Hochul vetoed a bill that would have restored State recognition to the Montaukett Nation.
This was Peter d'Errico's first appearance on my show in New York. Shawnee Rice was co-hosting. We covered a wide range of issues and hit them hard.
We are not fighting for civil rights, constitutional rights or even treaty rights. We are fighting for our sovereignty and autonomy.
Author of "Federal Anti-Indian Law", Peter d'Errico joins me to talk about his work as it relates to the Osage Murders, Native gaming and US domination.
If you were appalled by the racism displayed in Killers of the Flower Moon, you must understand that it still continues today. The federal government considered Native people as incompetent and too ignorant to manage our own funds and our own businesses. That designation continues today with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
I promoted a PBS series that featured a 15 year old boy who committed suicide shortly after filming the segment. We need to address Native youth suicide! We take listener calls to address the outing of Buffy Sainte Marie.
Justin Schapp, Seneca and Professor of Native American Studies at St Bonaventure joins me for the hour. We talk about Buffy Sainte Marie and Pretendianism and the Osage murders depicted in the Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon.
I saw the film and I was disappointed. We need to question what info is fed to us. Buffy Sainte Marie on the hot seat. Last show of the Fall Fund Drive!
The murder of the Osage is an unprecedented massive conspiracy of murder, marriage and theft. No where in the history of US criminal activity has this level of premeditation occurred. But the theft continues as other means have been employed by the powerful and greedy.
It's impossible for me not to see the similarities in the Israeli treatment of Palestine and its people to what Native people have experienced with the United States and its predecessors.
Michael G invites me to discuss the new Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon. I encourage folks to see the film but offer my caveats about "creative license" the distinction between facts and fabrication.
A two hour special broadcast live in New York and Washington DC. Includes callers!
Four NYS schools are suing to keep their Native race-based mascot against the State's statewide ban. Identity theft at its finest!
A friend of mine says "all skin folk are not kin folk." What she means is that even those who look like us, may not be "with" us. We can be distracted by the sellouts who grab headlines as they stand with our enemies. But our enemies remain the real problem. They love seeing us attack each other. We need to stay focused on the real powers who oppress us.
It's not a competition. And I am not trying to rate the horrors of whose racism experience is or was worse. My point is that much of the racism we experience is acceptable to Americans. It's not acknowledged.
Yep! I broke the rules and I got charged, convicted and sentenced; TWICE! Catch the show and learn about my egregious behavior.
The "mainstream media", social media, print media, TV, Cable, smart speakers, smart phones, smart TVs. It's all media. But so was every film, TV show, comic book, novel, newspaper, history book and radio. All this information yet ignorance persists.
The Washington Commanders' team president Jason Wright said of bringing the racial slur back to the team, "It is NOT being considered. Period!" Alrighty then! Let's be done with this conversation. But we're not done with the conversation/negotiation over a gaming compact between the Seneca Nation and New York State; not by a long shot. And the current compact is set to expire on December 9, 2023. So what does that mean?
Doctor Shya Bey joins me to discuss Native displacement and erasure.
A group of silly losers are trying to bring back the Washington NFL team's racist slur of a name and the media is eating it up. And why is Oprah taking heat over the Maui fires? The question is: who has displaced more Native Hawaiians? This fire or rich people from the continent buying up all the land?
