A couple of Farewell addresses and a State of the State Address!

Joe Biden and Deb Haaland bid farewell and Governor Kathy Hochul delivers her State of the State Address for New York. My thoughts on them all!

Lance Gumbs of the Shinnecock Nation joins me as their battle with NYS nears a positive end

A battle with NYS over the Shinnecock Nation's signage has raged on since 2019 but it looks like the end is near as a precedent setting victory seems at hand.

Living For The City with Michael G and guest John Kane

We talk national monuments, Peltier, Native battles with NYS over gaming and tobacco, and boarding schools.

Well? It's here. 2025!

It is definitely going to be an interesting next few years. I wish everyone the best but I know things have to get worse before they get better. $5 for a dozen eggs was enough to get Trump elected. What will it take for the ignorance to subside?

Final Show of 2024 and an unpleasant historical anniversary.

December 26th of 1862, 38 Dakota were hanged in Mankato, Minnesota in the largest mass execution in US history. The execution order was signed by Abraham Lincoln and carried out less than a week before his Emancipation Proclamation.

Why I do this show!

As I complete another trip around the Sun and close out another calendar year, I offer my thoughts and explanation on why I do what I do. I cling to the hope that some message will catch fire and become contagious enough to affect change.

So, how does it work? How do the Haudenosaunee council?

My good friend Tekarontake joins me for the program to give a basic explanation on how we council. Just how do we reach consensus? What is the process?

The Akwesasne Land Swindle; Deception at the lowest levels! Tekarontake is my guest!

Three false political entities have signed an agreement to extinguish claims to Mohawk land. It's illegal and will not stand no matter how much US support this agreement has. Tekarontake joins me to let the truth prevail.

We made it to December! 2024 has been a disaster and 2025 looks even worse.

December is not a good month for Native people, historically speaking. Some of the most tragic events of US history occurred in December. Let's hope we get through this one.

National Native American Heritage DAY! On Black Friday and the anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre. PERFECT!

Our special day on our special month! Again, who knew? So this year our special day falls on Black Friday and the Sand Creek Massacre anniversary. Guess what gets the most attention? The least anyone could do is order me one of those 85" televisions from Walmart! I mean, it is our special day!

No Thanks Given!

Happy National Native American Heritage Month! Wait! What? Who Knew?

My phone never rang once this month to invite me to speak during our "special" month. It's almost like no one cares! Well, it's a good thing for Resistance Radio!

You elected him AGAIN? Well, It's not the end of the world.

Reggie and I try to put things into perspective after another hyped election. Just more of the same for people accustomed to oppression.

One day before what many are calling the most consequential in modern history and the last day of WBAI's Fall Fund Drive. Oh! And the start of National Native American Heritage Month. As if you didn't have enough reasons to give!

Biden Apologizes for Boarding Schools; What a BS Political Stunt!

It's our fund drive for WPFW so please support the station in the name of Resistance Radio!

Are you scared? Does the election have you terrified? Put more emphasis on your community and distance yourself from state and national politics.

We need a sense of community more and more.

A two tiered legal system and legal status exists in the US for Native people still today!

I delve into a case that went before the Supreme Court back in 2004 that specifically deals with jurisdiction and highlights the plenary powers doctrine.

A Special 2 Hour Resistance Radio Broadcast for Indigenous Peoples Day; 10/14/24

Welcome to a special broadcast of Resistance Radio with Jacquie Luqman joining me for the program.

Let's Talk Politics and the Election! Oh! Not that one; the Seneca Nation.

This year's Seneca election is poised to produce an administration that opposes revenue sharing and will no longer lie down for NYS.

It's October so our special day is coming up. Can we use Indigenous Peoples Day to be heard?

I'll admit I am not a big fan of these special days. I think most of them miss the mark. That's not to say that I won't try to use them to be heard. I will!

Doc Shya joins me again to discuss Orange Shirt Day. We'll explain what it's all about and what it means to us.

The often overlooked victims of oppression and colonization are children. I will not wear an "Every Child Matters" orange shirt on Monday any more than I would wear an "All Lives Matter" t-shirt. OUR CHILDREN MATTER! Native Children Matter! Your history would suggest otherwise but we reject all that. Join us for a discussion on the Children of Oppression!

Dr. Shya Bey joins me to address educators teaching Black history and African American studies.

We target educators and those pursuing education in these areas because context is necessary to understand this history.

Another school drops its Native mascot and we pound on slave era racist laws and legal doctrines still in effect today

Shenendehowa High School in the Albany NY area FINALLY has agreed to drop its mascot. I take the opportunity to engage with some of the unhappy customers associated with them. I also point out the specific law passed just as the US was going all-in with residential schools.

Deb Haaland! Why stop at residential schools? Why not assess the entire cost of the American Holocaust?

Your "Kill the Indian - Save the Man" policy was just one of the genocidal strategies. Let's put your numbers to all of it from massacres to removal to starvation and the whole thing!

Haudenosaunee society was neither primitive nor unsophisticated!

The elections are dominating the news but for some there is little difference between the parties on key issues.

Neither party will condemn the genocide in Gaza or here at home.

My rant on the DOI Final Report on Indian Boarding Schools continues.

Can you even imaging that instead of assessing the damages committed in perpetrating a crime that you only assess what was paid out to commit the crime? Well, here you go!
