The Columbia River's millions of salmon sustained Indigenous people throughout the Pacific Northwest for millennia. But between the effects of overfishing and climate change, there's only a fraction of their historic populations left. Today on City Cast Portland, executive producer John Notarianni talks with OPB investigations editor Tony Schick about OPB's new podcast “Salmon Wars.” Schick digs deep into the history of the fish, the radical efforts to preserve them, and the threats they still face.

While voters were casting their ballots in the 1972 presidential election, Native demonstrators had taken over the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington, DC, barricading themselves in with office furniture and preparing to fight with makeshift weapons. The occupation marked the finale of a cross-country caravan, the Trail of Broken Treaties, and the activists were demanding the consideration of their Twenty-Point Position Paper, which called for a restoration of Indigenous rights and recognition of Native American sovereignty. Joining me to help us understand the 1972 occupation and to discuss the larger story of native presence and activism in DC is Dr. Elizabeth Rule, author of Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation's Capital and Founder of the Guide to Indigenous Lands Project.

Dr. Lomay discusses her personal and professional experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the importance of going beyond land acknowledgements and how communities can support Native and Indigenous communities without continuing our colonial history and without imposing our own beliefs, particularly in communities with their own healing methods. When the pandemic is over, Dr. Lomay challenges us to ensure that our donations and offer to help Native American communities continue beyond the crisis of the pandemic.

In the 1960s and 70s, rising leader of the American Indian Movement Leonard Peltier was known for providing mutual aid from his auto shop and advocating for Native civil rights. After a controversial trial concerning the deaths of two FBI agents, Peltier was sent to jail to serve two life sentences. Despite cries for clemency from the likes of Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela, Peltier has spent over half his life in jail. This week, Elise tells his story. Then, Olivia talks about her time down at the People vs. Fossil Fuels action in Washington DC. She witnessed the first occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs since the Trail of Broken Treaties in 1972 (which Peltier participated in). The demands of both occupations are eerily similar. Plus, we talk about how to get involved in current urgent actions, which climate activist is a fan of Rick-rolling, and Elise's vote for best environmental film.

Gina Adams is a multimedia artist who lives in Vancouver, Canada where she is an Assistant Professor of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Adams' studio work includes the reuse of antique quilts and broken treaties between the United States and Native American tribes, sculpture, ceramics, painting, printmaking and drawing. She is a descendant of both Indigenous (Ojibwe) and colonial Americans. Her work speaks to her own identity as well as the historical and ongoing injustices preserved and perpetuated by the United States government. Adams' work has been exhibited widely throughout the U.S. and beyond and her work has been featured in many publication, including The New Yorker and Hyperallergic. Adams' work is both delicate and heavy, stagnant and fluid, which speaks to the complexity that comes from looking back, while being present and considering the possibility of a better future.

What’s up Fellow Workers! Dave is back with Chris, IN REAL LIFE! For the first time in eons, we get to sit next to each other and record. Anyway, this week, we sit down with Sungmanitou Tanka (Wolf) — of the podcast Bands of Turtle Island — a Lakota Scientific Socialist, Marxist-Sitting Bullist to tackle a pretty tough topic for an overwhelming majority of the white left — settler-colonialism. We break it down pretty simple for yall, discussing some of the actions Wolf has been active in, from small-scale work to “getting the bona fides” at Standing Rock. We tackle the differences between settler and extractive colonialism and what decolonization and self-determination is. We also recount a swath of Indigenous activist history from the “colonial era” all the way to the American Indian Movement and modern times. What can white folks do to help their Indigenous relatives and comrades? Of course, there are some diversions along the way. We try to keep it light and talk about Thomas the Tank Engine in blackface, that time Bill Clinton was kickin it on the Reservation, how golf shouldn’t be goddamn legal, and trading our Charles Manson tidbits.

On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing how COVID-19 is affecting Indian Country. There are nearly 1,900 confirmed cases across the Navajo Nation and 60 reported deaths.

In early 1973, the militant civil rights group the American Indian Movement (AIM) takes control of the town of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The action launches a 71-day standoff between Indians and federal forces. But before they make their stand at Wounded Knee, AIM leaders Dennis Banks and Russell Means are already on a collision course with the U.S. government — starting when they lead more than a thousand Indians from across the country to the steps of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington DC.Support us by supporting our sponsors!

American Natives Occupy Wounded Knee, South Dakota for 71 days. In 1968, a number of native Americans in Minneapolis, Minnesota created the American Indian Movement (AIM), whose focus was to improve the lives of urban Indians and native Americans’ relations with the federal government generally. AIM members brought attention to their grievances by occupying offices, sponsoring a high-profile road excursion called Trail of Broken Treaties and confronting authorities. At the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, some native leaders were opposed to their tribal president, Richard Wilson, whom they accused of mishandling tribal funds and misusing his authority. These leaders asked AIM for assistance when they unsuccessfully attempted to impeach Wilson in February 1973. About 200 AIM leaders and supporters on their way to Porcupine, South Dakota (on the reservation) stopped at the village of Wounded Knee on February 27, 1973, where they took over several buildings, including churches and the trading post. Wounded Knee was significant in being thought to be the last “official” massacre of Indians by U.S. forces in 1890. (Reports say 146 native Americans were killed at the time.) The federal government acted quickly, sending U.S. marshals and FBI agents to blockade the community and put an end to the occupation. For 71 days, the occupation was marked by high level negotiations, promises to address grievances, and gun fire. Two occupiers, Frank Clearwater and Lawrence Lamont, were killed and Marshall Lloyd Grimm was paralyzed. By early May the occupiers were mostly out of food and medical supplies and they were concerned that the government would intensify their actions. An end to the occupation came on May 8, 1973, with government promises to look into grievances for native Americans. There is no indication anyone followed up on these promises.

This week on "Rebel Hearts": Kristie speaks with Daniel Paul Nelson who works for the "Lakota People's Law Project" as well as "The Romero Institute", helping to fight climate change as well as injustices against native peoples. Daniel holds a BA in Political Theory from Harvard College and an MA in Social Science from the University of Chicago. The "Lakota People's Law Project" engages in ongoing efforts to reclaim ancestral lands, stop all threats to Lakota land and resources as well as work toward the revitalization of their people and culture.   In this interview we talk about the repeating and continuos story of broken treaties with the Lakota (amongst many other First Nations), from the Fort Laramie treaties that were signed in the mid 1800s and shortly disregarded afterwards to the most recent events at Standing Rock.    Daniel speaks on the current law suits against 300 water protectors and the work of the "Lakota People's Law Project" to have these charges dropped. He explains the legality around the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), and what we can do when corporations place money above the well-being of people and the environment. Daniel talks about the environmental issues that we are facing and the need for change.    We talk about the significance of the events at Standing Rock, no matter whether they illuminated the injustice towards the Lakota Nation or the mistreatment of peaceful water protectors; at the same time, the people coming together during these events show us that healing is possible, the need to stand together and that we have the power to create change!

“The Torment Of The Native Americans: Lies, Myths, Folklore and The Broken Promises Of White America!” We intend to boycott Christmas—but not Jesus. We think that they have taken advantage of us and our consumer dollars by materializing the respect and honor of Jesus, and making it a bonanza for a White business. Starting on so called "Thanks Giving Day" with a 24 hour Broadcast remembering the  Holocaust of our Native American Family.   So on Black Friday, we won't be there! “It's a shame that a White man from the north pole, with eight reindeer, can knock Jesus to the curb on a day that is supposed to honor his birth! So on that time, we spend more money for alcohol, more money for material things, more money for drugs—everything gets a benefit from our fantastic foolishness in honor of Jesus.   Let's Redistribute The Pain! Withhold your dollars."   The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan   “THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED”   BUT DAMN SKIPPY WE WILL BROADCAST IT!!!!!

This passage has a great deal to say about being promise keepers - on both the individual and the national level. The issues surrounding the broken treaty with the Gibeonites have many parallels with the issues surrounding America's broken treaties with American Indian tribes.

Mending our broken treaties with Flora and Fauna: To further guide us humans to dynamic collaboration with animals and plants, Caroline welcomes Scotty Johnson Senior Outreach coordinator for Defenders of Wildlife , lover of wild places, dedicated to protecting our wild kin, and guiding us to have ever more-informed reverence for life.   The post The Visionary Activist Show – Mending our broken treaties with Flora and Fauna appeared first on KPFA.

Scots/Irish and the restoration of culture and hope among First Nations in Manitoba, Canada (Filmed on location in Manitoba, Canada, and Northern Ireland, in 2005 and 2007, and currently in post production in our Belfast-based Edit Facility) Mistreated and abused In essence, this documentary exposes how we – the Scots/Irish – mistreated and abused the native people of North America and how they, in turn, after many decades of this degradation, found their culture validated by Israeli Jews - of all people! And as we also seek to right the wrongs done in our name, the response has been quite amazing. Today, among Native Americans, the rates of disease, alcoholism and suicide are higher than in many third world countries. Yet only a handful of people on this side of the Atlantic are even aware of the legacy of pain and social deprivation left by those who left these shores. Hidden from history for centuries, this is a story that now demands to be told! Raymond McCullough was editor of Irish magazine, ‘Bread’, for six years and has for many years been involved in reconciliation between Protestant and Roman Catholic in Ireland. However, until the visit of a group of Native Americans to Belfast in 2004 he, like most people here, was completely unaware of any need for reconciliation between ourselves and the First Nations in North America. Not free to practice their own faith A couple of hundred years ago, many Presbyterians, and Roman Catholics, left the shores of Ireland and Scotland because, under English rule, they were not free to practice their own faith. Presbyterians were mockingly referred to as ‘blackmouths’. Their worship services had to be held in secret in the hedges. Roman Catholics, likewise, had to visit a ‘mass rock’ out in the fields. Their priests were hunted, with a bounty on their heads. So, we set sail for the new world – and the promise of freedom of religion! Many of these people became the founders of modern-day Canadian culture. Freedom, that is, for us, the new white settlers, but not, apparently, for the indigenous people of North America. These were people who had already been living there for 4,000 years! We described these First Nations as ‘savages’ and ‘pagans’, their worship as ‘devil worship’ and their culture as ‘backward’ and ‘depraved’. Forced them into ‘Reserves’ We made them all kinds of promises and signed solemn treaties. But we then proceeded to break every one of them! They welcomed us and agreed to share their land. But we stole all of the best land and forced them into ‘Reserves’ on the poorest and remotest parts. To this day only 3% of First Nation people have ever responded to the ‘white man’s religion’. And the people who carried out much of this policy had surnames that could easily be those of your Ulster neighbours! The Mounties rounded up native children, cut off their hair, and placed them in a church-run Residential School system. This was a way of providing a ‘civilizing’ education ‘on the cheap’. But it resulted in widespread indoctrination, abuse, and the deaths of 50,000 children – a 40-50% death rate! To this day, neither the Canadian government, ‘Department of Indian Affairs’, nor the main denominations, have been willing to reveal where the bodies of those children are buried! ‘120 Drums’ came to Belfast In February 2004, Grand Chief Linda Prince came to Belfast with the ‘120 Drums of Thunder’. 80 First Nation Americans performed their native dances and shared their culture. They explained that they had come to bless the Celtic people – we who in the past, had definitely not been a blessing to them! Imagine their surprise, then, that they, perceived at home as ‘dirty, drunken Indians’, should be so enthusiastically welcomed. This happened not only in Ireland, but also in Israel. In 1999, Linda led a group to Israel. In Jerusalem, Orthodox Jews arrived in tears when they heard the Drum Group singing one of their native ‘honour songs’. The Jews explained that the Native Americans were singing in Ancient Hebrew and their song was directed to the God of Israel! The Creator had made a mistake Yet, back home in Canada they had been taught that the Creator had made a mistake in creating them, and that He had sent the churches to correct this mistake – along with beatings and abuse! This is the story of a journey - both literally and in terms of growing understanding - of Raymond ‘s first encounter with these hurting people - in his home town of Bangor, in Belfast and, later, in Manitoba; and of his return with his two daughters to continue that healing process. While in Belfast, members of the Drum Group invited Raymond and his daughter, Kelly, to come and visit them. This they did, arriving in Pukatawagan, a Reserve in northern Manitoba, at the end of May, 2004. Raymond was interviewed on local radio and apologized for the wrong things taught and carried out by our Celtic ancestors. This brought a very positive response from the presenter and from many who heard the broadcast. Since Raymond’s visit significant changes have been taking place in the lives of that community. Exposing the legacy of the Residential School system Commentary is shared with Raymond’s younger daughter, Connaire, (visiting there for the first time). She reports on the historical background to this story, exposing the legacy of the Residential School system and the government’s assimilation policy – the native gangs in Winnipeg, high rates of alcohol abuse and youth suicide – to the background of the 8-hour journey north to ‘Puk’ on the ‘Silver Bullet’. This is the 15 mph (max!) train, which travels the 130 miles from The Pas, through uninhabitable muskeg swamp, to the reserve. Recently Native Americans have decided to reclaim the traditions which have been stolen from them. Mike Spence, a native historian and former gang member, describes the devastating affect the government’s assimilation policy has had on native culture. Louis Daniels, a 71-year-old elder and speaker on native ways, describes a near-death encounter in 2001, and his experience as a Residential School victim. In spite of the abuse he is able to declare, ‘but I have forgiven those people!’ Plans for a First Nations Embassy in Jerusalem! A group of five chiefs of native communities in Manitoba were made extremely welcome in Israel in August 2005. This has culminated in plans now for a First Nations Embassy in Jerusalem! The chief of Pukatawagan talks to Raymond about his own change of heart, the needs of the community and the reasons behind the First Nations strong affinity with Israel. Young people share how significant the restoring of their native culture is to them and how their lives have been affected as a result. A youth worker describes her childhood in Puk during the 70s, (when bullets were flying freely!), the setting up of their first Youth Conference in 2001 and establishment of a Youth Drop-in Centre. Since then the previously high rate of suicide among young men, (previously an average of one per month!), appears to have ceased! We hope to end the documentary with footage from modern-day Quebec, where both the Federal Canadian Government and the Surete de Quebec, (the local police), have been attacking peaceful protesters - protesting the fact that the government have not honoured their written agreeements - attacking them with riot gear, batons, tear gas and pepper spray, and injuring some of the weaker participants. So, unfortunately, our habit of breaking treaties continues to this day! Flute solo, 'From the heart', by Elmer Atlookan - from the Woodland Cree Singers album, '120 Drums - Live in Belfast!'.
