Episode 361 "Cultural Destruction by Any Means Possible?” Oct 31, 2021

Show notes

When the push to restrict tribes and nations from living by means of traditional ways is so obvious, the only thing left to believe is the powers that be will do whatever it takes to destroy Native cultures by any means possible.

Episode 359 "We Have to Relearn Our Ways" Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

What should our current generation learn from our past? What examples are our tribal adults and elders giving to our children? While the country that surrounds us "debates" over infrastructure and "Combating Climate Change" indigenous communities suffer from the effects of bad decisions of western lifestyles such as consumption over conservation. What happens when those western ideals affect our tribal leadership, to the effect of physical violence? These subjects and more in this episode of Native Opinion....

Episode 356 "Climate Changes’ Effect on Native Communities." Oct 10, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Native Opinion, Cohosts David Greyowl (Echota Cherokee) and Michael Kickingbear (Mashantucket Pequot) review a story on the the effects of climate change (not created by behaviors of Indigenous peoples) which has now created a restriction on how many Salmon Indigenous people of Alaska (and other communities) can "take."
In another story, Water shortages due to droughts continue to have devastating effects on Indigenous communities in the west. The Federal government is expected to declare a water shortage in the lower basin of the Colorado River by 2022. This restriction is likely to hit indigenous communities particularly hard, as they have struggled to get their legal share of Colorado River water for years—even when those waters have been abundant. Why should our communities bear even more restrictions over an issue which we did not create?
Also, a first look at Congressional candidate, and North Carolina Lumbee Indian tribal citizen, Charles Graham. What are his priorities for Indian country should he be successful in his Candidacy?

EPISODE 355 "Acknowledgement Matters." Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

"The Albuquerque City Council has adopted a resolution that acknowledges ongoing generational trauma caused by U.S. boarding school policies, that Indigenous children were forced to attend, and formalizes a commitment to work with Indigenous communities toward reconciliation and healing." What's taking the rest of the nation so long to do the same?"
