Why Does Our Existence Have To Be A Struggle? Nov 26, 2017

Native Opinion Episode 104 “WHY DOES OUR EXISTENCE HAVE TO BE A STRUGGLE?” How to Reach our show: hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook: facebook.com/nativeopinionpodcast/ Website: nativeopinion.com Youtube: https://www.Youtube.com/c/NativeOpinion Leave us a voicemail: Call us! (860) 381-0207 Or Use our Speakpipe app on our website! 2 great ways to leave us audio messages! GUEST: Dr. Paulette Steeves E-Mail: psteeves@mta.ca Dr. Paulette Steeves is the director of the Native American Studies program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and her work as an archaeologist seeks to upend long-held notions about indigenous culture in the Americas. Steeves, who is Cree-Metis, was the first Ph.D. candidate in her field to successfully defend her dissertation using indigenous method and theory. She has spent years building a database of Pleistocene archeological sites that show her ancestors have been in the Americas far longer than previously acknowledged. (The Pleistocene [Pleis·to·cene], is the geological epoch [pronounce it “epic”] that lasted from 2.6 million to approximately 12,000 years ago.) Her work, which challenges the “colonial” legacy of archeology, is considered revolutionary by some, controversial by others. Steeves believes objections to the inclusion of “indigenous ways and methods” in archeology comes from “a really strong, and deep-rooted racism in North American anthropology against Native Americans.” Native News Segments: ARTICLE 1: Title: Alberta teacher races to save dying Indigenous language before time runs out 'Our stories haven't been told and I want to share our history with others' By Zoe Todd, CBC News Posted: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT Last Updated: Nov 13, 2017 6:00 AM MT http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-beaver-language-victoria-wanihadie-indigenous-1.4394156 ARTICLE 2: TITLE: FORCED STERILIZATION of 272000 Native American Women “Not a Crime Against Humanity”: PUBLIC PROSECUTOR By theindigenousamericans_6i2sru On November 13, 2017November 13, 2017 https://www.theindigenousamericans.com/2017/11/13/forced-sterilization-272000-indigenous-women-not-crime-humanity-public-prosecutor/ MAIN CONTENT SEGMENTS: Article A TITLE: Confronting Cultural Imperialism in Native American Archaeology The ethical, legal, and research-oriented tools of archaeology can encourage Native American self-determination rather than undermine it.
