Resistance Radio with John Kane 6/9/23; A bit of a rundown on upcoming shows and topics
Episode description
There are always a lot of issues facing Native people and many of them tie directly back to our identity and distinction and the battle against assimilation. I continue to speak on the Native mascot issue but there is a growing list of topics that are beating at our doors. The SCOTUS is about to rule on a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act in "Haaland v Brackeen." This case challenges whether we are merely an inferior race of Americans rather than a distinct, autonomous people. A new gaming compact is set for debate and approval with the Seneca Nation and New York State. Another sellout and payoff to the State? We'll cover that. And an on-going battle over the New York State Thruway as it cuts through the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation is a show coming soon.
