Someone needs to inform the Republican Governors that it is time to stop the attacks against Natives, no matter what form those attacks are. I don’t believe those Governors know what time it is.

A year of years for sure! Not the strangest we have experienced but one in the running of the title of the strangest. Will we do what is needed to keep us solvent as a society or will we allow the powers that be finish their work?

Episode 368 "The Proof Really is in the Pudding." Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

For as many times as there are sunsets and sunrises the US had ample opportunity to do better by people of color. In most instances the choice was not to do better for all peoples of color. Why is it Native people are usually and most often the last people of color to receive better, and it is still a fight to obtain.

EPISODE 366 "Which Side of the Mouth is Speaking Today?" Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

"Whenever the US government speaks, it is rarely if ever speech that is straightforward. The US usually speaks out of both sides of its mouth, so to speak; (pun intended) to appease whatever demographic, political or corporate benefit it desires to gain. Which side of the mouth is speaking today, and at whose expense?"

Episode 365 "We Do What We Have to, to Reach Positive Goals." Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

The word "lead" appears in another word...that of "leadership." Sometimes our tribal leaders take steps that they know must happen to achieve positive goals. In this episode, we look at one such example by the Cherokee nation and their new Tribally affiliated medical school in Oklahoma. Plus, what are petroglyphs, and why are they in danger of being destroyed?
