We talk about the second apparent attempt on trump's life, and why the Right's discourse about it is hypocritical bullshit. Then our main topic: the racist pogroms incited in Springfield, OH, by Trump and Vance's racist blood libels (via Blood Tribe and Chris Rufo), featuring the KKK and the Proud Boys. Features a surprise clip from Mike Enoch over at TDS. Then a couple of other stories. Rich Lowry, editor in chief of National Review, accidentally forgets to not say the hard-R on Megyn Kelly's show; Bret Weinstein clever theory about Kamala's earrings and what They want him to think about them, Tim Pool and Ukraine (again).

There's a part in this conversation when JJ talks about feeling despair. I think that's why I needed to interview him. When have you felt despair? How did you respond to that? What caused it? What did you do to get out of it? I think it's important that we seek to move out of it ourselves first. Easier said than done, I know. But we have to have hope. We have to seek our Father and Savior. We have to have faith that They will respond. Because They will! I'm so grateful for JJ's life lessons. Now he seeks to share his testimony with his family and those who are willing to listen. I'm ever so grateful.
In this episode of The Accutron Show, hosts David Graver and Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri sit down with Eugene Brave Rock. Actor and stuntman, Eugene has garnered acclaim for his compelling performances in AMC's "Dark Winds" and as "The Chief" in the blockbuster film "Wonder Woman," where he proudly brings on the silver screen his culture and language. A member of the Blood Tribe of Siksikaissksahkoi, or Blackfoot Country, Brave Rock was raised by his grandmother Florence on the BloodIndian Creek Reservoir in southern Alberta, Canada. Today Eugene is passionately dedicated to preserving and promoting the Blackfoot language, which he considers vital to his identity and the future generations. Tune in, subscribe and join the conversation!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS8:00 I had the opportunity to act in the major movie Wonder Woman and to speak my language. It was the first time our language was heard on such large scale. 17:23 When I was young I remember watching a TV show and seeing an indigenous man on a horse. That inspired me so much to bring my culture to a big audience. I'm taking steps very few of my people have taken before me. 22:23 I never saw myself as an actor. I am a storyteller and storytelling is our oldest tradition. I am happy to carry that on in a contemporary way.

For a lot of people, a car is the second biggest purchase they'll make. A lot more goes into picking a car than just color and style. We'll talk with Native car sellers, mechanics, and financers about how to assess what you need in a vehicle and get tips on making decisions based on practical considerations rather than emotional ones. And we'll get a checklist to help decide when to fix the ride you have and when to ditch it for something newer.

Chronic wasting disease is a fatal neurological disorder that affects deer, elk, and other big game animals. It has growing implications for wildlife and the people across the country who manage them. In Minnesota, tribes are teaming up with wildlife officials and researchers in a unique collaboration aimed at reducing the spread of the disease on and near tribal lands.

On September 22, 1877, the Blackfoot Confederacy and the Crown executed Treaty 7, which established Reserve No. 148, the largest reserve in Canada. It is the home of the Kainai, or Blood Tribe. Under the Treaty, the size of the reserve was to be established through a formula promising “one square mile for each family of five persons, or in that proportion for larger and smaller families”. The Blood Tribe has long claimed that the actual size of its reserve did not accord with that promised by the Treaty and, in 1980, commenced an action in the Federal Court. For decades the action sat in abeyance. In 2016, the court held phase I of the trial of the action, for the purpose of receiving oral history evidence from aging members of the Blood Tribe. Phase II commenced in 2018 to hear fact and expert witness evidence, and to make a determination on liability. At the completion of phase II, the trial judge found that the Blood Tribe's claims were discoverable more than six years before the action was commenced in 1980 and, with the exception of a claim for breach of treaty, were therefore time-barred through the operation of The Limitation of Actions Act, R.S.A. 1970, c. 209 and s. 39 of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-7. The trial judge held that an action for breach of a treaty commitment could not be pursued in a Canadian court prior to the advent of s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. Therefore, for the purposes of the limitations statute, time for a breach of treaty claim only began to run in 1982. The trial judge found that Canada was in breach of its treaty commitment, and that the size of the Reserve was understated by 162.5 square miles. The Crown appealed. The Federal Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and varied the Federal Court's judgment to state that all claims of the Blood Tribe were time-barred. Argued Date 2023-10-12 Keywords Aboriginal law - Treaty rights, Limitation of actions - Aboriginal law — Treaty rights — Treaty 7 — Limitation of actions — Breach of treaty as cause of action —Whether breach of treaty was actionable in Canadian courts prior to the coming into force of s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 — Whether limitation periods for breach of treaty claims began to run prior to the passage of s. 35 — Limitation of Actions Act, R.S.A. 1970, c. 209; Federal Courts Act, R.S.C. 1985, c.

Today's Headlines: In recent news, the NYPD's plan to deploy surveillance drones during Labor Day weekend sparked privacy concerns as they would respond to various calls, leading to worries about invasive surveillance. Neo-Nazi hate groups, including the Blood Tribe and The Goyim Defense League, organized marches near Orlando, Florida, wearing matching red shirts and chanting troubling slogans, raising alarms about hate group activities in the area.

An armed Neo-Nazi group protested a Pride in the Park event in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday afternoon that featured a drag story time and drag shows. The Anti-Defamation League describes the Neo Nazi Group, Blood Tribe, as "Blood Tribe is a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, "non-whites" and the LGBTQ+ community." Meanwhile, the group that organized the event, Unity Project of Watertown, describe itself and its mission as, "Unity Project of Watertown was created to bring awareness to social issues in the Watertown area. We welcome anyone as long as they are respectful of others. Our Mission Statement: ;To promote a sense of acceptance and belonging among all members of our community.'." Yet, a certain Wisconsin politician took to Twitter to basically condemn "both sides" (the tweet has since been deleted, but screenshots are forever). Then we discuss the fact that Foxconn actually made something! And that Scott Walker is making almost $1 million a year to basically fail at bolstering the youth conservative movement.

An on-reserve police service presents with many challenges, including funding, staffing, and retention. The First Nation members themselves face particular challenges as well as non-challenges. Non-First Nation officers have their own unique challenges, as well as the “culture shock” that accompanies policing a First Nation area. Our presenters will touch on all of these issues based on their own policing experience. Speakers: Police Chief Grant Buckskin and Inspector Rayan Najjar Grant Buckskin is Interim Chief of Police with the Blood Tribe Police Service, a position he has held since September, 2022. He is a member of the Blood Tribe and started his career with the Police Service in 1990.

He is proud today to be leading the sworn members of the Blood Tribe Police Service. Rayan was born in Lebanon and immigrated to Canada in 1991 with his family at the age of six. He and his family lived in Olds and Milk River before settling in Lethbridge in 1997. Rayan graduated from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (LCI) in 2002 and from the Lethbridge College Criminal Justice - Policing program in 2007. Rayan started his policing career with Blood Tribe Police Service (BTPS) shortly after graduation and has been with BTPS for 16 years.

In this episode, the TRS team discusses many topics centering on emerging social structure in Native families. In Part I, the conversation emerges from a discussion on family names while shifting to the phenomenon of the "keeper". Importantly, the issue of cultural responsibilities resting on the knowledge of a single individuals creates potentially problematic issues with cultural transmission. In addition, superstitious are touched on as a source of ambiguity in relation to cultural understandings.In Part II, the team continues by exploring how the idea of sovereignty operates in Indian Country. The team takes the discussion of sovereignty from the angle of Treaties and how these mixing of legal traditions have potentially skewed person-to-person relationships and further person-to-landscape relationships and traditions. The important questions is raised asking "Are people more important that the land?" This simplified look does not take into consideration the complexities involved in all matters of history and relationship but explores how our need to maintain tribal connections in the past may have been stronger than present day.Stay listening near the end to hear Shandin's Southern inspired TRS commercial and Aaron's Blood Tribe inspired promo.

There are many opinions on what is best practice when it comes to dealing with the serious addiction crises that is prevalent in today's society and certainly Lethbridge is no exception. However, most people agree that the “Four Pillars” approach, harm reduction, prevention, treatment and enforcement, generally gives best outcomes. Many reasons can be attributed to addiction, but homelessness and personal trauma are very often the main causes. The speaker will describe his Residential School trauma, his addiction struggle and eventual recovery. He will also talk about the benefits of helping others who struggle with addiction and his establishment of the organization, Kii Mah Pii Pii Tsin (Kindness to Others) Renewal and Healing Centre. The mandate of Kii Mah Pii Pii Tsin is to support and advocate for the at-risk and vulnerable members of our community. The goal is to create specialized healing in trauma, grief, suicide intervention and also have a cultural component to the program, possibly at a facility located on Blackfoot Confederacy territory. Speaker: Alvin Mills In his youth, Blood Tribe member Alvin Mills was a gifted athlete as a boxer and playing multiple sports at a high enough level to earn a basketball scholarship. But it wasn't his athleticism that would come to define the course of his life as may have been expected, it was his troublesome relationship with alcohol and drugs that took him to where he is today. Alvin is a survivor of Residential School and has struggled most of his adult years with addiction. Alvin was incarcerated for periods of his life as he was unable to deal with the issues and trauma from Residential School that he had buried inside for so long. Finally, after someone stabbed him in the throat, Alvin entered treatment and began to work on the decades long internal trauma and grief to finally come to terms with it. He admits he still struggles, but has now found new purpose in life by helping others.

While painkilling medicine has been around for a very long time, Fentanyl is a powerful addictive opioid painkiller, the use of which has caused an increasing public health threat in Canada and elsewhere. Fentanyl was initially approved in 1960 and used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, especially cancer pain. However, recent years have seen a growing use of fentanyl and its analogs that are widely synthesized in laboratories and adulterated with illicit supplies of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills, contributing to addiction and the exponential growth in the number of drug-related overdose deaths. The southern Alberta community of Kainai First Nation has been hit very hard by the Fentanyl overdose crises and since 2014 in particular, hundreds in the community have died tragically. The speaker will describe the early circumstances of the crises and as well, more recent measures taken to mitigate the loss, which includes a harm reduction strategy, since conventional abstinence-based treatment has proved ineffective for saving lives. The strategy includes supervised consumption and the Blackfoot practice known as "kimmapiiyipitssini" – pronounced "GEE-maa-bee-bit-sin" meaning "giving kindness to each other”. Speaker: Dr. Esther Tailfeathers Dr. Esther Tailfeathers was born and raised on the Blood Tribe Kainai First Nation in southern Alberta. She graduated from the University of North Dakota, School of Medicine and completed her Family Medicine residency at the University of Alberta. Esther has worked with many First Nations, among them, the Emergency Department on the Blackfeet Reservation (in Montana), the Blood Tribe Reserve for almost 20 years, and in the Northern Alberta community of Fort Chipewyan. She is most proud of organizing a relief mission to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, leading a team made up of Blood Tribe paramedics, nurses and health care workers who took care of more than 2,000 patients during their relief efforts. Most recently, Dr. Tailfeathers has focused on the Blood Tribe's response to the opioid crisis including harm reduction and treatment, and addressing the upstream determinants of health. Dr. Tailfeathers is currently the Senior Medical Director, Provincial Indigenous Wellness Core, at Alberta Health Services.
Teachings In The Air has collaborated with the National Indigenous Diabetes Association for Part 1 of Diabetes & Safety in Ceremony.

This episode with National Indigenous Diabetes Awareness day on May 7th and will debut in 3 parts. Kustkum'ckuw to our panelists and the National Indigenous Diabetes Association for this partnership.
The opioid crisis has taken many lives in Kainai First Nation, in southern Alberta, but a new documentary, Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy, explores how the community is overcoming the crisis by redefining what harm reduction means. We talk to filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, and her mother, Dr. Esther Tailfeathers, who is a family physician on the Blood Tribe reserve.

Post-secondary institutions in Alberta have experienced substantial reductions to their Campus Alberta Grants from the Government of Alberta. In the case of the University of Lethbridge, these reductions represent slightly more than 20% of the university's government operating grant. The reductions have resulted in difficult budget decisions including layoffs, deletion of athletic programs and structural changes. The emergence of COVID 19 has added to the challenges for the U of L. On March 13, 2020 the university moved to virtual academic program delivery and ultimately the university closed down all on-campus services including residences and food services, and moved all student services online. These rapid changes have been unprecedented, but the university has met the challenge. There have also been significant costs associated with COVID 19, which in addition to government grant reductions present serious challenges. The speaker will explain the impact of the budget reductions and COVID 19, mitigation strategies and plans for the fall semester. This will include a discussion on the need for transformational changes at the University of Lethbridge, that are already underway, and will continue to unfold in the coming years. Speaker: Dr. Mike Mahon Dr. Michael J. (Mike) Mahon was installed as the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lethbridge in 2010 and after serving two consecutive terms has been reappointed for a third term beginning July 1, 2020. During his first term, Dr. Mahon introduced the university's first Academic and Strategic Research Plan followed closely by Destination 2020, the University of Lethbridge Strategic Plan. Under these plans, Dr. Mahon initiated the “Destination Project”, a big construction project to develop the new Science Commons building and was successful in obtaining a $260 million investment from the Government of Alberta. Fall 2019 concluded Dr. Mahon's two-year term as Chair of the Board of Directors for Universities Canada. He has been active in several other provincial and national commitments related to post-secondary education including former Canadian University Sport (USports), Alberta Economic Development Authority, the Canadian Olympic Committee, and the Coaching Association of Canada. Dr. Mahon is the recipient of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and an honorary member of the Kainai Chieftainship of the Blood Tribe in Southern Alberta. He is proud of his Blackfoot name, Iipisowaahsiiyi (Morning Star).

Canada's justice system is working poorly for Indigenous peoples. Not-guilty verdicts arrived at recently in two separate murder cases involving First Nations victims, Tina Fontaine and Colten Boushie, have arguably yet again exposed Canada's justice system as failing Indigenous peoples. Indigenous people have been murdered or gone missing for a long time without due diligence from law enforcement and only now are we starting to expose these patterns of neglect in a meaningful way. Still, if you are an Indigenous person in Canada today, chances are, you will have difficulty receiving justice. The speaker will explain Canada's jury selection system and argue that it needs a serious overhaul. She will also contend that unless we come to terms with the staggering amount of racism that still exists in our institutions, and in our society as a whole towards Indigenous peoples in Canada, not much will change. Speaker: Ingrid Hess Ingrid Hess is a lawyer from Lethbridge who has been practicing for over 21 years. For the majority of her career she has focussed on criminal defence work, representing clients on all kinds of criminal and quasi-criminal charges in the Provincial Court, Court of Queen's Bench and Court of Appeal of Alberta, including a number of serious jury trials. She has worked extensively with clients of Indigenous background. Some of her important court cases have been cited in academic work pertaining to the treatment of individuals with FASD in the legal system. In 2010 she was drawn into working on the Residential Schools Independent Assessment Process for compensation for serious physical and sexual abuse. In that capacity she has worked on over 300 individual claims from BC through to Ontario and across the North, acquiring a very personal but also broad understanding of the historical and cultural circumstances of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. Ms. Hess lives in Lethbridge and is mother to three young men. Her eldest son is a member of the Big Stone Cree Nation and her younger two are both Blood Tribe members.

For the majority of her career she has focussed on criminal defence work, representing clients on all kinds of criminal and quasi-criminal charges in the Provincial Court, Court of Queen's Bench and Court of Appeal of Alberta, including a number of serious jury trials.

Canada's justice system is working poorly for Indigenous peoples. Not-guilty verdicts arrived at recently in two separate murder cases involving First Nations victims, Tina Fontaine and Colten Boushie, have arguably yet again exposed Canada's justice system as failing Indigenous peoples. Indigenous people have been murdered or gone missing for a long time without due diligence from law enforcement and only now are we starting to expose these patterns of neglect in a meaningful way. Still, if you are an Indigenous person in Canada today, chances are, you will have difficulty receiving justice. The speaker will explain Canada's jury selection system and argue that it needs a serious overhaul. She will also contend that unless we come to terms with the staggering amount of racism that still exists in our institutions, and in our society as a whole towards Indigenous peoples in Canada, not much will change.

Two recent disputes about who are entitled to farm Blood Tribe agricultural land have ended up in Federal and Provincial Court respectively. Chief and Council of the Blood Band arguable has sole authority to decide who farm within the reserve, and on land that is “held in common” for all band members. Others argue that a more collaborative approach may better serve the Band as a whole. This panel discussion will attempt to shed light from different perspectives on the many issues involved and also touch upon to what degree relationships with previous land renters should be considered in the context of signing new agreements. Panel members: Rep. from Blood Tribe Chief and Council, Lois Frank and Eugene Fox No bio available for the representative from the Blood Tribe Chief and Council Lois V. Frank, B.Sc. M.A. Ph.D. Candidate – Gonzaga University is a member of the Blood Tribe and is completing a Ph.D. in Environmental Justice from Gonzaga University in Washington. Lois has worked as a Lecturer in the Native American Studies Dept. at the University of Lethbridge. Prior to that, she taught in the Criminal Justice Program at Lethbridge College. Lois has received many certificates for her achievements including the Alberta Jubilee Medallion from the Alberta Solicitor General and is a past Chairperson for the Blood Tribe Police Commission. In 2011, Lois received the Environmental Activist of the Year Award from the Council of Canadians and is currently a National Board member of that organization. She was recently part of a group that won a Federal Court decision regarding land occupant rights on the Blood Reserve. Eugene Fox is a fourth-generation farmer who started farming in 1960s with his father Floyd Fox on the Blood Reserve prairie land acquired from other Blood Reserve land occupants. From the 1960s until 2013, Eugene and his father developed land & engaged in farming grain products and hay production. In February 2013 Floyd Fox passed away and Eugene continued to occupy and farm the land in accordance with his father's wishes. Concurrent with farming operations, Eugene established Fox Trucking in 1982, a trucking business in which he and his father worked together until 2013. From 2004-08, Eugene Fox hauled crude oil from wells on the Blood Reserve to terminals in southern Alberta. Eugene Fox is a member of the Blood Band and the customary Many Children Clan and Many White Horses Band of Aaapaitsitapi (Weasel People), whose existence supercedes the Blood Band, a 1936 creation of the Indian Act.

One year ago, four women in Saskatchewan began exchanging emails about the Harper Governments omnibus budget Bill C-45, better known as the Jobs and Growth Act, which had just been introduced in Ottawa. Jessica Gordon, Sheelah McLean, Sylvia McAdams and Nina Wilson were concerned the bill would erode indigenous rights. They decided to organize an event in Saskatoon, set for Nov. 10, and to help spread the word they turned to Facebook. They chose to call the page "Idle No More" as a motivational slogan. Bill C-45 changes legislation contained in 64 acts or regulations. The acts that most concern the Idle No More movement and many other groups are changes to the Indian Act, Navigation Protection Act (former Navigable Waters Protection Act) and Environmental Assessment Act. In addition to the changes, those involved in the movement were angered by what they call a lack of consultation with indigenous peoples. The movement has also expresses concern about other acts and bills from the Harper government, all of which if passed into law, could seriously jeopardize indigenous peoples culture and heritage. The speaker will draw attention to questionable conduct displayed by Governments, both provincial and federal. Peaceful actions by the Elsipogtog First Nations peoples in New Brunswick to protect their unceded territory from shale gas exploration, using fracking, was allegedly violated during the recent violent confrontation involving the RCMP, who acted on a Court of Queen's Bench injunction. The court later lifted Southwestern Energy's (SWN) injunction. The original injunction was filed by the Texas based company to end the blockade protecting Mi'kmaq traditional territory from fracking. Speaker: Lori Brave Rock Lori Brave Rock is an enrolled member of both the Blood Tribe here in Alberta and the Blackfeet Tribe in Montana; both tribes are a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy which extends up to Calgary and beyond. She is a self-employed stained glass artist and an activist within the Idle No More movement. Raised traditionally, Lori learned the importance of the relationship Blackfoot people have with their lands, waters, plants and animals and their sacred place within this culture. In the spirit of First Nations as the true stewards of the lands and waters, she urges everyone to become educated on the many environmental issues facing us, including fracking and to take an active role protecting all that we hold dear for the benefit of future generations.

12-1:30pm In the early 1990's, each of the three Prairie Provinces held judicial inquiries into Aboriginal Justice. The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples followed these inquiries with a National analysis. All of these important studies reviewed the disproportionate representation of Aboriginal peoples in the Canadian Justice System. At present about 20% of federal offenders are Aboriginal. On the Prairies, provincial Aboriginal incarceration rates range from 35% in Alberta to 80% in Saskatchewan. In the words of Justice Cawsey from the Alberta Inquiry: “The only things that have worked for Natives have come from Natives”. There are consistent statistics demonstrating the decreased rate of reoffending or recidivism where Aboriginal offenders have gone through Aboriginal programming including healing lodges, ceremonies and opportunities to commune with Elders. Just this past winter, Howard Sapers, Correctional Investigator for Correctional Services of Canada underlined these facts. Mr. Sapers emphasized the need for urgent action to improve support programs for Aboriginal prisoners or face a potential crisis. In the face of these truths and the young and vulnerable demographic of the Aboriginal population, it defies logic that the Alberta Government would suddenly and arbitrarily decide to close the Kainai Minimum Security Corrections Centre and cut Aboriginal Correctional Programming on Reserves. It is in the interests of everyone in Alberta that these worthwhile programs on Kainai and other reserves be supported. The Director of Kainai Corrections will speak to this issue, its implications and what can be done about it. Speaker: Rick Soop Since his graduation with a political science degree from the University of Lethbridge in 1981, Rick Soop has worked in the Criminal Justice System. For the last 10 years Mr. Soop has been the Director of the Kainai Community Corrections Society. He is an active participant on various boards and committees for the Blood Tribe, and is helping to develop the Kainai Peacemaking Centre.
