Podcasts about American Indian Movement

President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to quell protests in Los Angeles has upped the ante when it comes to the response to direct action. Native Americans turned to civil disobedience during high profile protests at Standing Rock and following George Floyd's death more recently, and during the formation of the American Indian Movement more than a half century ago. Will the equation for direct action include confrontations with the U.S. military from now on? We'll discuss what Native activists see for the future of public protests.

In this episode, Simon and Julie sit down with John to talk about the murder of Jonathan Joss, a two-spirit Indigenous actor who was shot and killed on his own property. They say he deserved better. This wasn't just homophobia—it was also about race, and ignoring that - erases part of what made him a target. They also dig into the Department of Education calling New York's Native mascot ban “discriminatory.” At the same time, the military is renaming ships that honored brave people like Harvey Milk and Dolores Huerta—while racist mascots are somehow still on the table. And they close with Leonard Peltier's call to change the “American Indian Movement” to the “Indigenous Movement,” and what that shift could mean for first peoples.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED May 20, 2021 In this episode, we speak with Nick Estes, author of Our History Is the Future, about the powerful throughline connecting the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee, the 1973 AIM occupation, and the 2016 resistance at Standing Rock. Far from isolated events, these are chapters in a living history of Indigenous struggle against settler colonialism, ecological devastation, and capitalist expansion. Estes brings a revolutionary lens to history; one that is rooted in land, memory, and the radical refusal to disappear. This isn't just a conversation about the past though, it's a call to understand that the continued fight for Indigenous sovereignty is the fight for a livable future.

Das Pine Ridge Reservat im US-Bundesstaat South Dakota gilt als einer der ärmsten Bezirke in den Vereinigten Staaten. Im Reservat liegt auch Wounded Knee, ein Ort von historischer Bedeutung. Hier fand im Jahr 1890 eines der letzten Massaker an Ureinwohnern in den USA statt. Im Februar 1973 besetzten Anhänger des American Indian Movement den Ort aus Protest gegen gebrochene Verträge und die miserablen Lebensbedingungen und schafften es damit in die nationalen Nachrichten. Die Lage der Native Americans hat sich seither kaum verbessert. Einen besonderen Stellenwert nimmt dabei das Phänomen der vielen Vermissten und Ermordeten ein. Die Gründe für die Gewalttaten liegen mitunter weit in der Vergangenheit. Das Pine Ridge Reservat steht dabei stellvertretend für andere Reservate in den Vereinigten Staaten. Erstsendung: 3.5.2024

Today on the Show: Is Leonard Peltier's freedom in peril, based on new Trump statements accusing  Biden of illegal pardons and legal actions that could have an impact on Peltier's freedom. We'll speak with Peltier spiritual adviser, Len Foster. Also we welcome back Bill Means, co-founder of the American Indian Movement.  And street actions and protests in san Francisco in support of Palestinian activist,  Mahmoud Khalil, arrested and jailed, apparently for being a Palestinian activist with a green card The post Is Recently Freed Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier In Danger of Being Sent Back to Jail? appeared first on KPFA.

Hello Interactors,Since his return to office, Trump hasn't just taken power — he's trying to reshape the landscape. From border crackdowns and sick real estate fantasies to federal purges by strongman stooges, his policies don't just enforce control — they seek to redraw the lines of democracy itself.Strongmen don't wait for crises — they create them. They attempt to manipulate institutions, geographies, and public trust until there's so much confusion it makes anything they do to ease it acceptable. I dug into how authoritarianism thrives on instability and contemplate some ways to alter it.DEMAND DOMINATION THROUGH DOUBT AND DISORDER I was once a strongman, or at least I could summon one when needed. I could override the part of my brain that protects me from injury and tap into something primal — something that made me feel invincible. A surge of adrenaline convinced my brain I could not only hurl myself into another person but through them, painlessly.I played rugby. What I experienced is known as Berserker State, or berserkergang—a shift in brain activity and hormone surges that cause extreme arousal and altered perception. Rugby is a sport where people spend over an hour pretending they're not hurt. That's in contrast to soccer, where people spend over an hour pretending they are.

Full Episode 2-24-25 - In this episode, correspondent Eric King discusses the history of Annie Mae, the prolific native activist who was murdered by male members of the American Indian Movement, the organization she was a part of. We discuss patriarchy within social movements.

As the notable 80-year-old American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier walks free from Florida's Coleman Penitentiary, Native American activists are reflecting on the nearly five-decade push to get to this point. Seven presidents passed up the opportunity to free Peltier, until President Joe Biden commuted his sentence to house arrest in the final moments of his term. We'll explore Native direct action from its militant beginnings to its current role in changing both legal outcomes and public opinion. What does Peltier's release mean to you? You can watch the NDN Collective's video of Leonard Peltier's public appearance after his release here. GUESTS Dr. Robert Warrior (Osage), Hall Distinguished Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of Kansas Lisa Bellanger (Leech Lake Ojibwe), executive director of the American Indian Movement and chair of AIM's Grand Governing Council Ruth Buffalo (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation and Chiricahua Apache descent), former president of the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition Janene Yazzie (Navajo), director of policy and advocacy for the NDN Collective

Producer and director Yvonne Russo joins us this week to talk about Vow of Silence: the Assassination of Annie Mae, a docuseries now airing on Hulu. Annie Mae was a member of the American Indian Movement who disappeared, only to be found dead months later in South Dakota. Yvonne shares her journey of discovery and how this story is especially relevant today.

On its way out the door, the Biden administration provided a number of exit gifts for its allies amongst left-wing groups: feminists and abortion-rights activists received a legally toothless declaration that the Equal Rights Amendment, which had a ratification deadline that expired no later than 1982, was validly ratified; Native American activists and the extreme-left saw American Indian Movement radical Leonard Peltier, convicted of involvement in the deaths of two FBI agents, released from prison; and Big Philanthropy saw longtime liberal megadonor George Soros honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom. But defund-the-police activists got another, very substantive exit-row gift from Biden's government that wasn't nearly as prominent: A proposed “consent decree” between the federal government and the Louisville Police Department strictly controlling how the Louisville PD will operate going forward. Joining us to discuss the decree is Neal Cornett, an attorney representing the Heritage Foundation in its efforts to intervene as a friend of the court.Links: HERITAGE FOUNDATION'S & HERITAGE FOUNDATION OVERSIGHT PROJECT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MIKE HOWELL'S MOTION TO PARTICIPATE AS AMICI CURIAE Justice Department Secures Agreement with Louisville Metro Government to Reform Louisville Metro's and Louisville Metro Police Department's Unconstitutional and Unlawful PracticesI-Team Exclusive: Drop in Baltimore homicides due to COVID-19 fraud prosecutions, US attorney saysFollow us on our socials: Twitter: @capitalresearchInstagram: @capitalresearchcenterFacebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenterYouTube: @capitalresearchcenter

A livestream conversation hosted by TRN Podcast host Nick Estes and prominent members of the Leonard Peltier movement for clemency! Statement by The Red Nation: "After a half-century of unjust incarceration, Leonard Peltier is finally going home! “It's finally over–I'm going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I'm a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.” For decades, the now elder Dakota and Ojibwe member of the American Indian Movement represented a powerful symbol for millions. His imprisonment has been viewed as collective punishment against generations of Indigenous people who fought for liberation, from the Red Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the Water Protector Movement that fought against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016."  Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Read the entire statement here https://www.therednation.org/leonard-peltier-is-going-home/ Empower our work: GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/empower-red-medias-indigenous-content  Subscribe to The Red Nation Newsletter: https://www.therednation.org/ Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/redmediapr

Send us a textIn mid-December 2024, Denmark released Captain Paul Watson (co-founder of Greenpeace, and founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) after five months of captivity in an apartment-like incarceration setting in Greenland, when Denmark ultimately declined to extradite him to Japan for a matter about which Captain Watson asserts his innocence. Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense and DUI lawyer Jonathan Katz three weeks after Captain Watson's release had the privilege to spend an hour with him on our Beat the Prosecution podcast, covering such topics as risking detention and prosecution for what we deeply believe in; the international law limiting whaling and sealing; preparing for and winning at trial (he has never been convicted); and his uncanny ability to be non-angry. Remarkable is Paul's confirmation that he does not get angry, other than when he expresses it with his pen. Non-anger is very vital to beating the prosecution. Paul has been prosecuted numerous times, but all his trials have resulted in acquittals. Listen to how that resulted. Paul Watson and Jon Katz both eat vegan (with Paul motivated heavily by ecological reasons, and Jon being primarily motivated by nonviolence), and know members of the American Indian Movement (with Paul having been a medic during the Wounded Knee action, and Jon peripherally meeting AIM members through his peace teacher Jun Yasuda, a close friend and supporter of the late Dennis Banks). Jon recommends reading Paul's autobiography Hitman for the Kindness Club, and listening to his podcast entitled Captain Paul Watson Foundation. More about Paul and his foundation's work is at PaulWatsonFoundation.org. Watson is one of the films about him. Donations to his foundation can be made here. One of Paul's previous organization's ships was named the Steve Irwin, who supported Paul's approach for animals. Those approaches include ramming whaling ships without causing injury to others, applying dye to seals to make their skins unmarketable, using stink bombs, and releasing animals from captivity. Paul magnificently sums up his work with this phrase that also is all about how to beat the prosecution: courage, passion and imagination. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) calls for the release of imprisoned American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier in a speech on December 4, 2024. Peltier is serving two life sentences for the deaths of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Now at age 80, he has been behind bars for more than half of his life. "He is in declining health, experiencing vision loss and other illnesses," Schatz said on the floor of the U.S. Senate. "And in spite of all that, earlier this year, federal officials denied his request for compassionate release." Schatz, who serves as chair of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, urged President Joe Biden to set Peltier free.

The Red Nation attended this year's 55th annual National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In 1970, Indigenous people and organizations of New England and the American Indian Movement protested at the settler colonial monuments of the Mayflower 2 and Plymouth Rock, disrupting and disproving the myth of so-called Thanksgiving and providing a counter-narrative that cuts the myths of colonization right to the core.

This episode features segments on the history of resistance on the part of Native Americans and African Americans from the Black Seminole wars of the 19th to the American Indian Movement of the latter decades of the 20th century.

Family separations have been used as a colonization and genocidal tactic since before the founding of America and these practices continue today. Native children are currently removed from their homes at 2–3 times the rate of white children. They are often taken away from relatives and their communities, even when those options are available. In this episode, we'll talk about the legacy of boarding schools and what Indigenous organizers are doing to preserve their culture and support their communities.  About Our Guest:  Marcella Gilbert is a member of the Oceti Sakowin-7 Council Fires known as the Great Sioux Nation.  Currently living on the Cheyenne River Indian reservation in north central South Dakota, Marcella is involved with the Standing Strong grandmothers group whose main focus is to create local action in regards to child rescue efforts.

WBAI-FM Upcoming Program Special Sat, Sep 21, 2024 1:00 PM PAUL DERIENZO ON LEONARD PELTIER, Leonard Peltier, his name is a legend among indigenous peoples, but he sits for half a century in an American prison for a crime he didn't commit, convicted by a biased jury and a compromised judge even as his co-defendants were acquitted. Peltier turned 80 earlier this month, still a prisoner, denied parole yet again this year. HIs family and millions of supporters want Peltier free. He's a symbol of the persecution of Native Americans at the hands of settler colonialism and perseverance in the face of persecution. On Saturday, September 21st at 1:00pmET join WBAI for a trip through the archives, curated by Paul DeRienzo, as we hear from recently discovered airchecks of Pacifica Radio's award winning coverage of the 1970s events that led to convictions of America's longest political prisoner. We will also hear an interview with Peltier lawyer Kevin Sharp and music from Indian Country. In this two part series.. We will next hear from John Trudell, a founder of the American Indian Movement, who led the native re-occupation of Alcatraz Island and suffered tragic reprisals.

COINTELPRO was shut down in 1971, and J. Edgar Hoover died in 1972. But the agency's dirty tricks continued in the years directly following the Media Burglary. Nowhere is this more evident than in the FBI's interactions with the American Indian Movement. Scholar, historian, and podcast host Nick Estes joins SNAFU to talk about how COINTELPRO and Hoover's legacy permeated the FBI, from the Wounded Knee Occupation in 1973 to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at Standing Rock in 2016/2017.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Fairfax, Virginia criminal and DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz faces particularly challenging times in court, he often imagines that his peace teacher Jun Yasuda is to his right, his trial teacher Steve Ranch is to his left, and his martial arts teacher is also right there. This Beat the Prosecution episode interviews Jon Katz's friend and peace mentor Jun Yasuda, who spearheaded making the Grafton, New York, Peace Pagoda a reality.https://www.graftonpeacepagoda.org (This peace pagoda is such an amazing place that Jon's friend's usually constantly overactive dog stood in quietness when first visiting the pagoda.)Lama Surya Das has aptly pointed out that it is not enough to rage against violence if we do not also pursue peace within ourselves. Likewise, an effective criminal defense lawyer needs to find and develop internal peace so that anger, stress, and upset do not eat the lawyer alive; and so that the lawyer may think, see and hear clearly -- and show total compassion, teamwork and listening with their client -- on the road to pursuing the best defense. Jun Yasuda is as tough as nails, having crisscrossed the nation on foot in even harsh climates, having fasted for peace and justice for days on end, and having set her own selfish interests aside for the greater good of humankind. She advocated for sanctuary in New York for American Indian Movement cofounder Dennis Banks when his sanctuary in California was cancelled. She dry fasted for a week for Mumia Abu-Jamal when he was still on death row. Jun-san briefly was in a lockup adjacent to Leonard Peltier's during the pendency of his trial where she went to support him. (Mr. Peltier's prosecutor ended up concluding that his prosecution and continued incarceration were and are unjust. https://www.amnestyusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/From-US-Attorney-James-Reynolds.pdf . His authoring appellate judge decades ago supported clemency for Peltier. https://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/download/Heaney.pdf )Jun-san recognizes the importance of restorative justice as an alternative to the overgrown criminal justice system that she points out disproportionately incarcerates minorities and often uses inmates for free and cheap labor. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

This episode covers the radical history of the Twin Cities, which evolved in a unique and dynamic historical conjuncture in the long 1960s as a site in which African American, American Indian and Mexican American communities were concentrated in an otherwise overwhelmingly white state. The emergence of Black Power, the American Indian Movement, and the Chicano Movement parallel and overlapping in a shared urban site speaks to the socio-political context of injustice. These dynamic movements built infrastructure to confront these shared forms of repression, but through their particular communities: The Way organization in the Black community, Centro Cultural Chicano in the Mexican community, and in several independent schools in the American Indian community. These institutions—also evident in the emergence of the Black Patrol, the AIM Patrol and the Brown Berets in addressing police violence—emerged independently but with points of convergence and direct interaction. Jamie Curry and Jimmy Patiño would also like to add the names and dates regarding the women in AIM: in May - July 28, 1968, the American Indian Movement is founded and conceived in Stillwater State Prison by Eddie Benton-Benai Jr., Dennis Banks, and Clyde Bellecourt; Alberta Strongwoman, Elkwind Dalmond, Caroline Dickinson, Fanny Fairbanks, Laura Waterman Wittstock and Elaine J. Salinas called the first meeting on the Northside. Not once did Clyde or Dennis take action or strategize without input from the women in the movement and are still the backbone today). Calling themselves (in '68) Concerned Indian Americans (CIA), they start patrols in Minneapolis because of the school's mistreatment of their sons and daughters, lack of decent housing, to combat weekly police brutality and racism inflicted upon and experienced by Indian people in the Twin Cities. https://www.instagram.com/soulforcemn/   Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel The Red Nation Podcast is sustained by comrades and supporters like you.

Published: April 8, 2024In 1977, American Indian Movement member Leonard Peltier was convicted of the murder of two FBI agents, and has remained a political prisoner of the US ever since. Peltier's conviction has long been contested by activists and legal experts. Despite the recantation of three key witnesses, his case has never been brought back to trial. Peltier has been eligible for parole since 1992, and the federal government has ignored calls to free him for more than 30 years.

Published: May 20, 2024Despite now spending 47 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, Leonard Peltier continues to be denied parole by the federal government of the United States. Why has the US so obstinately refused to free Peltier, despite decades of international outcry? The answer lies in the threat posed by what Peltier represents—the demands of the Indigenous liberation movement for sovereignty and justice after centuries of US settler colonialism.

We'll explore the events leading up to the 1975 shootout at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and the subsequent deaths of two FBI agents.We'll examine how the FBI's overreach and jurisdictional tensions escalated conflicts with Native American activists. The FBI's spread of misinformation sowed doubt within the AIM community, and their aggressive tactics led to a tragic outcome for a coerced witness, who ultimately died under suspicious circumstances later revealed to be a gunshot wound.Join us as we navigate these twists and turns, challenging you to reconsider your perspective on government actions and justice.

AIM sought to address issues such as treaty rights, land rights, tribal sovereignty, and the broader social, economic, and political injustices faced by Indigenous communities.Raymond Yellow Thunder and Wesley Bulltail were both victims of racial violence, and their cases highlight some of the challenges faced by Natives and the response from AIM.Raymond Yellow Thunder was a member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe who was brutally murdered in Gordon, Nebraska in 1972. His death sparked outrage within the Native American community and drew attention to the prevalence of violence and racism faced by Indigenous people in the United States. AIM played a significant role in seeking justice for Yellow Thunder, bringing national attention to his case and putting pressure on law enforcement to thoroughly investigate and prosecute those responsible for his death.Wesley Bulltail was another Native American man who was killed in 1972 in South Dakota. His death, like Yellow Thunder's, was a catalyst for activism and highlighted the systemic racism and violence faced by Native Americans. AIM worked to raise awareness about Bulltail's case and demand accountability for his death.In both instances, AIM utilized protests, demonstrations, and advocacy campaigns to demand justice and raise awareness about the injustices faced by Native Americans. These cases underscored the broader issues of racial discrimination, violence, and lack of accountability within law enforcement and the justice system concerning crimes against Indigenous people. AIM's efforts helped to shine a spotlight on these issues and push for change, although systemic challenges persist in addressing the historical and ongoing injustices experienced by Native American communities.Next week we will get in to the occupation of wounded knee and the injustices that follow.  Merch store- https://indigenoustales.threadless.com/Email us at info@behillnetwork.com Also check out our Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/indigenous_tales/And our TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@indigenous_talesAmanda Bland Dallas area Bakeryinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cupidsweetsbakes/Cupid Sweets- https://www.facebook.com/cupidsweets

The organization gained national attention in the 1970s through a series of highly publicized protests and actions."INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES"  SEIZES Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay in 1969 AND HELD IT FOR 19 MONTHS... Check out our series on this. This protest, known as the Alcatraz Occupation, lasted for over a year and brought attention to the federal government's policies towards Native Americans.Another significant event was the 1973 occupation of the town of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This 71-day standoff between AIM activists and federal law enforcement was a response to long-standing grievances within the reservation and resulted in widespread media coverage and a renewed focus on Native American issues.Throughout its history, AIM has faced internal divisions and controversies, but it remains an important voice for Native American rights and continues to advocate for social, economic, and political justice for indigenous peoples in the United States.
