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.

In the second installment of our five-part series on the chemical industry workforce, "Chemical Industry Workforce: Shaping Tomorrow's Talent," Dennis Banks, vice president of Syncrude Maintenance at Suncor Energy Inc., offers his definition of DEI.  “I grew up in a place where there were drive-by shootings — I have bullet holes in my childhood home,” says Dennis Banks, vice president of Syncrude maintenance at Suncor Energy Inc., who grew up in Detroit, went to college in Louisiana and now resides in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. “Some people freeze in the face of chaotic situations. I don't view [many] situations as perilous. So, I'm able to maintain calm and composure in the face of a lot of adversity and chaos because of what I went through growing up.”

Federal prosecutors have attempted to tie Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier to the murder of fellow AIM activist, Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. It is a frequent allegation that has relied on weak evidence and the charges of paid federal informants. In this episode, TRN Podcast co-host Nick Estes (@nickwestes) looks at several sources of information from key Indigenous activists who knew Leonard Peltier and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash to the FBI's own knowledge of her murder at the time it happened and federal prosecutors' initial hesitancy to take up the case.

December 14, 2020 Intellectually dishonest hate-monger Paul DeMain has reignited his campaign to assure denial of any Executive Clemency to LEONARD PELTIER, 76, at any time before Leonard's next scheduled Parole Hearing in Year 2024 with a continued misuse and abuse of the December 1975 gunshot death of ANNA MAE AQUASH and the unconscionable exploitation of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash's children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde makes significant points in this 2016 article in which the 1975 Aquash death became the center point in President Barack Obama's decision to deny Clemency to Peltier: “I regret that my statement caused some hurt and pain and I apologize for the pain I caused her [Denise Maloney Pictou] and her family,” said Bellegarde. “That wasn't my intent.” Bellegarde said he still would like to see Peltier freed. He said the case is a separate issue from AIM's execution of Aquash. “I called for that (Peltier's release) because there is an injustice there,” said Bellegarde. “So I will continue to advocate for that.” Bellegarde said two previous AFN national chiefs have made the same call which is also backed by Amnesty International and prominent individuals like the Dalai Lama. Peltier was extradited from Canada to the U.S. in December 1976. Warren Allmand, Canada's solicitor general at the time of Peltier's extradition, has since stated the F.B.I submitted false information to have Peltier extradited." DeMain's posting of Aquash daughter Denise Maloney Pictou's December 12, 2020, renewed accusations against Leonard Peltier and DeMain's hated AIM organization [re-Posted here in Comment 1] are the beginning of a campaign to assure that 2020 President-Elect Joe Biden will not grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. In death and posthumously, Anna Mae has been made a sainted heroine. But between 1972 and November 14, 1975, Anna Mae's ways were AIM's ways. AIM's ways - good and bad - were without qualification or reservation Anna Mae's ways, by choice. At NCAI in November, American Indian Press Association's (AIPA) Richard LaCourse told me of his meeting with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Kamook Banks, and Anna Mae just before his coming to Portland for NCAI.. Anna Mae then had indicated no distress nor given any indication that she was being held prisoner or against her will. On November 14, 1975, the four AIM "leaders" only broke apart because of the Ontario, Oregon stopping of their [Marlon Brando] recreational vehicle by armed Oregon police. A couple days later, Leonard Peltier was transported (through Franks Landing) from Portland into British Columbia (by associates of mine, who did not inform me then of their activity). He spent the next month in the locale he was taken to and remained incommunicado with U.S. colleagues until later, at least until he traveled to Small Boy's camp in Alberta, Canada. That is where the RCMP and FBI picked up on Leonard - long after Anna Mae Aquash's death in the second week of December 1975. Memorandum in the FBI's Denver Office dated as early as December 19, 1975 disclosed Anna Mae Aquash had been killed - although the FBI would feign ignorance of the death and the corpse identity for more than the next three months. The December 1975 memos identified the killers as John "Boy" Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud, and Theda Nelson Clarke - although none of the three were indicted through the next 28 years. The Looking Cloud trial was held in December 2004; Graham's in 2010 - lapses of 29 and 35 years. Theda Nelson - a likely FBI Informant in December 1975 - (on mental competency findings) did not go to trial. Clark died at age 87 in 2011. Although a lead prosecutor opened the Leonard Peltier trial in Fargo, North Dakota on March 16, 1977 declaring: "AIM is not on trial."; both AIM and Leonard Peltier were made the main 'defendants' in the 2004 and 2010 trials for the killing of Anna Mae Aquash! If there was ever a case where all parties - prosecution, defense and all witnesses - acted in friendly collusion to 'convict' undefended and absent non-parties [1st Leonard Peltier; 2nd AIM] - the Looking Cloud and Graham trials were such cases. The fodder for the trial's conspiratorial claptrap largely was wrung from the mind and imagination of Paul DeMain in his relentless vendetta against AIM leaders and most creatively against Leonard Peltier. Many of his unsubstantiated claims were rejected by author Steven Hendricks when writing "The Unquiet Grave" (2007). DeMain "Timelines" for Anna Mae Pictou have since focused on the AIM Convention in New Mexico just prior to the Jumping Bull Compound deaths of FBI Agents on Pine Ridge on June 26, 1975 leading to the 1977 life sentence convictions of Peltier. The design is intended to prejudice considerations against any grant of parole or clemency for Peltier. Canada's Assembly of First Nation is correct in declaring the "execution" of Anna Mae Aquash and the pursuit of "freedom" for Leonard Peltier on compassionate and humanitarian grounds are "separate issues." They are correct in continuing their support for Executive Clemency through offices of both the Canadian Prime Minister and any U.S. President. What satisfaction can President Elect Biden derive from side-stepping all humanitarian and compassionate considerations for Leonard Peltier through a first term, deferring any favorable consideration to the scheduled Parole Hearing in 2024? The Pardons Office of a bureaucratic and prejudiced Justice Department housing the FBI has already failed the last four Presidents of the United States in this matter! Will retribution finally end if Leonard Peltier is still alive in 2024 and then 80 years old? Indians of Western Washington who transported Leonard Peltier to Canada on or about November 17, 1975, and Indians of British Columbia who hosted and concealed him for the next month or until beyond when the FBI first was informed of Anna Mae's death and the identity of her killers can attest to Leonard's movements and communications (record) that wholly absolve Leonard Peltier of any direct or indirect role in the December 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash.

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.

In our final episode of our AIM series, we go into one of the most pivotal moments in Native  history – the Wounded Knee Occupation of 1973.  In this show we will take you, the listener on a journey through the origins, motivations, and lasting impact of this landmark event.The American Indian Movement (AIM), founded in 1968, emerges as a powerful force advocating for indigenous rights, sovereignty, and self-determination. As tensions between Native communities and the US government escalate, culminating in the infamous Wounded Knee incident, AIM rises to confront systemic injustices head-on.We explore the diverse voices within AIM – from activists like Russell Means and Dennis Banks to grassroots organizers and community members – who united to demand recognition and respect for indigenous peoples. Against the backdrop of a nation grappling with civil rights struggles, the occupation at Wounded Knee emerges as a defining moment of resistance and resilience.But the legacy of Wounded Knee extends far beyond the barricades. Our episode examines its reverberations across Native communities, shaping the ongoing fight for land rights, tribal sovereignty, and cultural revitalization. As we reflect on the past, we confront pressing questions about justice, reconciliation, and the unfinished journey toward true equality.Join us as we uncover stories of courage, solidarity, and hope that continue to inspire indigenous movements worldwide. We invite you the listeners to reckon with the past and envision a future where the spirit of Wounded Knee lives on in the pursuit of a more just and inclusive society.

Fifty years later, it's hard to paint an adequate picture of the injustice, corruption, oppression, and chaos that led up to and pervaded the occupation of Wounded Knee, SD starting on February 27, 1973. Afterwards, as he dismissed misconduct charges against AIM leaders Russell Means and Dennis Banks, Federal Judge Fred Nichol famously said the FBI had “polluted the waters of justice.” Today on Native America Calling, we hear from people who were there and discuss what the event means a half century later with Dwain Camp (Ponca), warrior from Wounded Knee and elder; Walter Littlemoon (Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne), resident of the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation; and policy analyst Russ Diabo (Kahnawake Mohawk).

Fifty years later, it's hard to paint an adequate picture of the injustice, corruption, oppression, and chaos that led up to and pervaded the occupation of Wounded Knee, SD starting on February 27, 1973. Afterwards, as he dismissed misconduct charges against AIM leaders Russell Means and Dennis Banks, Federal Judge Fred Nichol famously said the FBI had “polluted the waters of justice.” Today on Native America Calling, we hear from people who were there and discuss what the event means a half century later with Dwain Camp (Ponca), warrior from Wounded Knee and elder; Walter Littlemoon (Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne), resident of the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation; and policy analyst Russ Diabo (Kahnawake Mohawk).

On February 24, 1976 the body of a 30-year-old First Nations woman and Indigenous activist was found by the side of the road in South Dakota, in the United States. What first appeared to be death from exposure, turned out to be an execution style murder and rumors flew about her being an FBI informant. This lead to a decades long investigation which exposed corruption, lies and ultimately more questions than answers. This is the story of Anna Mae Aquash.Full episode only available for Supporter Tier patrons.

On the show, Chris Hedges discusses the Second American Revolution with author David Talbot. The populist uprisings of the Progressive Era, labor militancy of the 1930s, and the sweeping social and cultural transformations of the 1960s and 1970s constitute America's second revolution. These movements sought to complete the unfinished work of the first revolution, enfranchising those the founders of the nation had condemned and thrust aside: black people, women, Native Americans and the poor. The second American revolution, embodied in its final phase by Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, spawned a series of powerful movements including the anti-war movement, the black power movement, the women's movement, the American Indian movement, gay and lesbian movements, the United Farm Workers union, the Weather Underground and a radical, alternative press embodied in publications such as Ramparts magazine. But the promises of these movements have been largely obliterated. The ruling elites mounted a sustained, often lawless and successful campaign to crush these expressions of popular yearning and popular discontent. Salon founder David Talbot and New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot look back at this moment in our history in their book ‘By the Light of Burning Dreams: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the Second American Revolution' to ask what happened and what, finally, went wrong. The authors use portraits of radical activists, including Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Heather Booth and the Women of Jane, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Dennis Banks, Madonna Thunder Hawk, Russell Means, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono as a lens to look at the inner workings and inherent flaws in the Second American Revolution.

To avoid the tragic fate of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull who were killed after surrendering to the US government, AIM leader Dennis Banks was persuaded to leave Wounded Knee the night before the federal stand down on May 8th, 1973. The warrior selected to lead his escape party was Lenny Foster, a Diné Navajo who has since become Leonard Peltier's spiritual adviser. In “The Great Escape” Lenny shares how he was able to evade detection and guide Dennis Banks to safety with the help of the spirits.

In June, 1975, reporter Kevin McKiernan traveled to South Dakota to cover the trial of AIM leader Dennis Banks who was standing trial for his role in the 1973 Custer Courthouse Riot. But as the hearing got underway on June 26, word spread that shots had been fired 100 miles away on the Pine Ridge Reservation between Federal agents and members of AIM. So McKiernan jumped in his truck and raced into the center of the firefight.

Bill Ramos, Chicano holy man and mentor to the youth of East San Jose and Aztlan Bill “El Mosco” Ramos, whose spirituality has given him the wisdom and knowledge of his Native American and Chicano ancestry to serve the needs of San Jose’s Chicano youth during the turbulent 60’s through today from his spiritual compound in Ripon Calif, just outside of Modesto. Driving his yellow school bus, The Mosquitos East Side Action Club transported at-risk youth on field trips and outings while building their self-esteem through long-distance running events. His work with Dennis Banks, the Lakota activist and leader of AIM, The American Indian Movement, resulted in Bill becoming the leader of the annual 500 mile spiritual run, beginning in 1980 to this day. Bill is what the Lakota call a wichasa wakan or holy man who continues his spiritual quest by serving the needs of at-risk youth from his headquarters in Ripon.

Nancy Shippentower is a member of the Northwest Fishing Commission, a member of the Puyallup nation, and a fighter for tribal and fishing rights. Her parents are Jackie McCloud and Tom McCloud. She grew up in a family invested in the fishing wars during the 50’ and 60’s. She told us about how her father and their relatives went to jail for 60 days. When they were in jail the other inmates didn’t believe that they were there for fishing, and they asked the guards if they were telling the truth. Unlike many people in jail, her family were denied early release. Billy Frank jr. was her uncle, and he joined them in jail, was even kept in jail an additional week. Soon after he became the spokesperson for the tribes in Washington who fought for their fishing rights. Darrell mentions that he did speak very well and very strong, able to unite the tribes around his mind. She told us the story of when her father went to jail when she was 8 years old. At this time they were very poor (though she never saw it that way then) and she had to go to Woolworth to get her shoes fixed. This was exciting because she could see her daddy. Yet when she went to meet him there was only a steel wall. So little was the opening in it, that she could only see his eyes. She wanted to grab him so much she couldn’t help but cry. Nancy then saw the rest of her family, including her cousins and uncle who made her laugh. Yet when they went back to their cells they all cried for how forsaken their wives and daughters were with them in prison. However the women didn’t let themselves become forsaken. Instead they banded together and went fishing, helped each other, and fed each other. But do not believe that because they were strong that they took the jails and detentions lightly, for whenever the possibility of jail came up, a family meeting would be called to determine if the family members should go through with the stand. They did believe in what they were doing. Darrell then asked Nancy about when her mother got involved in fighting for Treaty and fishing rights. However Nancy answered that her mother not only stood for those pillars, but also for the poor, the welfare system, a decent education, empowerment to women and fixing the foster care system for children. When she got to this note, Nancy described a story of when her mother wrote a letter called “operation Rotten Apple” about how Native kids were being taken from their homes and given to non native homes. Soon after that she received a house call from a social worker who delivered her cousins unto her saying “Here’s your rotten apples, you can have them.” After this her mother started taking in kids who had no home. Darrell and Nancy then discussed how her mother also fought for Sweat Lodges inside Prison. This began shortly after she got invited to the American Indian Brotherhood. She had learned that many native men and women couldn’t practice their religion due to the absence of Sweat Lodges to worship in, about how to fast and pray to the creator people had to put themselves in solitary. Nancy’s mother was so tenacious, she actually got banned from prisons, but she got back inside after she appealed to the upper levels of government. She also tried encouraging the inmates for after jail by bringing in celebrities like Jane Fonda and Dick Gregory (who is featured in the podcast later). Darrell then brought up her Minnesota visit which happened around 1969 or 8. Nancy was supposed to be married in New York, Six Nations but changed her mind. On the way back in Minnesota they met Dennis Banks and Russell Means and the Vernon Bellecourt who then came to Washington state. They all had plans to make an American Indian Movement, which her mother became a founder of. She wound up adopting almost all of them due to how much they listened to her and respected her age. Darrell asked about Nancy’s connection to Tulalip, to which Nancy responded “my mother is Tulalip.” Nancy then discussed her Grandparents and their experience with boarding schools. She told Nancy of many things; sending kids to Alaska when it was cold, and Arizona when it was hot; how you couldn’t make friends with anyone because who knew if they’d die or not?; how young girls were raped by teachers or priests when they reached puberty. Her grandfather even explained that nuns wear long dresses to hide the pregnancies they got from raping young men. Her grandma went from foster home to foster home. When she was on 1rst Avenue in seattle though, she learned how to cook international food. She taught him all how to cook all kinds of food. But she also brought strength as she had to hide and protect her little sisters whenever they would come home from drinking. She, her cousins Warren Haze and Mannie from Tulalip and would protect her little girls. Her grandfather was John Wrenicker but Nancy never really knew him well. Her grandparents were friends that ran from the boarding schools together together, but they didn’t last. She also explained that Louretta Joseph was her first cousin and was a Henry, Leroy Henry was her grandma’s father. Apparently Nancy’s mother wanted to be buried next to her dad but decided to ultimately be buried next to her grandma. Nancy then talked about the occupy Cascadia movement which was spearheaded by Ramona Bennett. This movement tried to keep the FBI from selling the Cascadia diagnostic center for troubled kids. At the time it was basically another jail, but it was till on Puyallup land, so they went in and took it over so the country could give it back to them. Responding to Darrell’s question about what it was that her parents left her, Nancy answered: love, compassion and spirituality. She reminisces about how good her parents were; about how her Father taught his daughters about being strong, even taking them to karate to teach them how to defend themselves. Fixing cars, changing tires and never let a man push you down, those were other lessons they taught their children. Her mom taught her how to can and a lot of things at her house. With 7 other kids in the house, there were assigned roles to accomplish. When Nancy was pregnant with her son she was nominated by her father to the Fishing Commission at Puyallup. From there she was elected Chairman, and the only women on the commission. She then got on Northwest Indian Fisheries, were she had to go to a meeting in Seattle. There she met Allison and Kathy when the northern tribes wanted to intercept the salmon. When their policy rep wanted to have their side step down, Nacny stood up and said “You want a fishing war? I will give you a fishing war.” And then went to battle with the northern tribes which, Nancy reminded Darrell, includes Lummi. She expressed she didn’t want to fight with the tribes, but that it was necessary to grapple after Boldt gave away half the fish. However a deal was reached with all the tribes, though it took 6 to 8 months of negotiations. Nancy reminded us that gillnetters did not have treaty rights, and Governor Rosalini wanted to turn this state into a competitive fishing state. This lead Nancy to remember a meeting she took her 12 year old daughter to during the fishing wars. Despite there being only a few native people there, the mob got extremely hostile. The people there allowed a mob to get riled up, and she wasn’t sure what would happen, but the police came and escorted them to their car. Even then though people followed them out with the police and Nancy half suspected them to follow her home.. Dick Gregory wound up getting involved with Nancy’s family and the fishing wars. He was really good at throwing benefits for the Tribes and Native rights. In fact he was arrested for protesting! He was charged and convicted in Jail, which inspired Marilyn Brando to get involved. However when he was arrested the police didn’t charge him, they just wanted his autograph. When Dick went to jail, an encampment to support him was set up by Nancy’s mom across from the jail. She didn’t let adults come in, feeling that there needed to be only young people in the encampment. Then one night the Black Panthers came by, for they were upset that Dick was in jail for fishing rights. During their stay, Jackie McCloud was the only person willing to meet with them. Turns out Dick’s commitment to the cause led him to a hunger strike after Robert Comp, Nancy Nugyett and Bill Cosby couldn’t convince the judge to let Dick go. He wound up almost dying during his hunger strike. The guards sent for his wife to try and convince him to eat, but she simply asked him what he wanted her to do, to which he said “if Im going to die for this cause, Im going to die for this cause.” After which the judge realized Dick really would die on his watch, got scared, and ordered Dick’s release. After his release there was a huge arrest at the encampment. Darrell note that this wasn’t necessary. Nancy’s mother went down to unite with the Black Panthers. Nancy notes that their fights were almost the exact same as Native fights but without treaty rights, and that their ancestors didn’t have a choice in coming to America Nancy ended the podcast with these words: to stay strong and stop the negativity that keep seeping into the modern movements. People need to be careful what they bring into the movements. If there’s a leader, support them, do not become jealous and envious as Nancy saw with the leaders of her past. There’s nothing but love for human beings. Only politicians and education makes people racist. On her final note, Nancy tells Darrell how she saw someone on the news claim that the president only wants to make America white again. But as Nancy points out “America was never white! Before anyone came here everyone was brown. Where’s their education at?”
