Native Opinion an American Indian Perspective

Latest Episodes:

Episode 403 "We Have Answers and Solutions Gained Through Experience." May 25, 2022

Show notes

America calls it a "Natural Resource”, but water is more than that. Much more. Yet the need and desire of state and federal governments to control access is often a detriment to indigenous People.
Is this episode we examine some of these problems. We look at how the effects of man-made climate change is depleting available water, and why water rights arguments from political opponents are challenging some tribes.

Episode: 402 “What Does it all Mean? It’s Anybody’s Guess.” May 16, 2022

Show notes

It is still all about the numbers. The push to stop legal abortion is all about preserving and securing a hold on the ideology of white supremacy. If one was to drill down and see what the push has been in the past it is all about preserving white majorities.

Episode 401 “Now What?” May 12, 2022

Show notes

There has always been a pervasive greed and hatred toward Natives and other peoples of color in this country. The desire to not be inclusive is a part of the everyday behaviors of State and local governments. When it comes to the overall inequality people of color face in this country, the phrase; ”Let them eat grass.” comes to mind.

Episode: 395 “Our Traditions are an Important Part of Native Life.” Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

Tradition comes in many forms. For our indigenous communities, one way they are preserved are through our food systems. In this episode of our show, we present two examples of how tribes are using traditional food systems for the continuance of traditional ways. In our "Racism in America" segment, we focus on a hotel in South Dakota who refuses to allow Native folks to rent rooms, resulting in a federal law suit.
