Over two-thirds of the world's population lose the ability to metabolise during their lifetime (the majority during childhood). We know today that lactose intolerance, or lactase persistence, has a strong genetic predisposition. Almost 100% of Asians, 70% of African-Americans, East Indians, US Hispanics and approximately 50% of Spanish and French have very low levels of lactase in adulthood (what we would call lactose intolerant). Alternatively, the majority of Caucasians can tolerate lactose into adulthood. Testing for lactose intolerance/lactase persistence can be done either via chemical or genetic testing. Each has their advantages and disadvantages but is important for any doctor or patient to know about. This is the story of Lactose intolerance. Our special guests: Dr Michael Page is a Chemical Pathologist and Chief Executive Officer at Clinipath in Western Australia. Dr Melanie Galea is a Genetic Pathology specialist and Director of genetics at Douglass Hanly Moir Pathology in Sydney. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The continued rise of Instagram-influenced yoga has led to a new wave of criticism among East-Indians and academics alike. Accusations of cultural appropriation are being levied just as long-held myths are being debunked. Many earnest practitioners find themselves confused by the discord between what they see and read in the media and the experience they have of Yoga in their lives.    

Semester 2, 2024 at The Jamaica Theological Seminary: This week, we begin to loosely develop an outline of Caribbean History leading to its invention and beyond. We had already laid the foundation discussing the importance of going as far back as to Homer where Western civilization's foundations of knowledge begins. The Caribbean as part of the New World and the Americas was reinvented with the coming of the Europeans who were looking an opportunity to dominate and extract wealth in the race to be the leading European country. 1. -1492-3 - Columbus- knowledge religion people wealth  -Ulterior motive: gold/profit/greed/international competition capital - British Take-over -Slave trade The Lecture then moved into the main presentation responding to the question: Have We Misunderstood Our History? “Redefining a people so as to misclassify their identity and conceal their heritage is tantamount to genocide”   If strategy is employed that continues the dynamics today, that had once characterized the transatlantic slave trade, then a re-examination of Jamaica's identity and heritage is warranted, specifically in relation to the Tainoe people, who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawak Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Suriname, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion. Jamaica's history documents the replacement of the native population with African slaves brought there by the Spanish. After the English defeated the Spanish in 1655, Jamaica became a significant port for the slave trade and sugar exportation. However, there is limited information available regarding the slaves and individuals whom the Spanish had freed following their defeat. It is uncertain whether the small group of people who served the Spanish during their rule were of African or Indian origin, as the extensive trade of Africans to the island did not occur before 1655. Nonetheless, those who were freed by the Spanish sought refuge in the mountains and established Maroon communities that persist to this day. Were these the original Indians? Have we misunderstood our history?[1] Jamaica's identity extends beyond ethnicity; we encompass a diverse range of people united as one. However, it is undeniable that the majority of our population has a predominant African heritage, stemming from the era of the slave trade. The Urban Indian Heritage Society is currently challenging this narrative by presenting compelling research and data which suggest that Jamaicans have a rich history connected to the native Indians of the island.[2] They argue that genealogical research reveals an urban American Indian root in Jamaica, providing an alternative perspective to our historical understanding. Listen to the over 2 hour Lecture with added music and sounds to enhance your listening experience at our pleasure. The Lecture was delivered on Friday February the 9th 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary via Zoom to students in the Caribbean Thought Semester 2 course. The course includes a research paper and final exam that the students will take in order to meet the requirements of graduation. The course is a 2200 level course. The Lecture is delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, Author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," and the upcoming book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations, co-authored by Professor Emeritus, Dr. Martin Oppenheimer.

The Urban Indian Heritage Society is shaking up the understanding of American families' heritage with groundbreaking research. In their upcoming presentation at The Jamaica Theological Seminary's Caribbean Thought class, the UIHS will challenge conventional beliefs about Jamaica's identity and heritage, particularly concerning the Taino people, who were the island's original inhabitants. Contrary to popular belief, the UIHS argues that Jamaicans may have a rich history linked to the native Indians of the land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor, the UIHS stresses the importance of reexamining Jamaica's history beyond the predominant African heritage resulting from the slave trade. Dr. Nolan Fontaine, and author Phoenix Moon, founders of the UIHS, will lead the presentation and share their research findings. They contend that genealogical research uncovers an urban American Indian root in Jamaica, challenging the established narrative of the island's history. In addition to their research, the UIHS has organized a petition titled "Remedy for the Misclassified People of North America!" This petition calls for the enactment of the American Indian Inclusion Act to address the mistreatment and erasure of the Misclassified American Indian by the United States Government. The petition outlines a comprehensive set of demands, including the reclassification of ethnic birthrights, the return of occupied American Indian lands, restitution, punitive damages, and institutional reform. Key demands in the petition include establishing a genealogical committee to examine bloodline lineage, creating an oversight committee for tribal membership appeals, and recognizing the American Indian Political Party. The petition also seeks the removal of taxation on American Indian lands, the repeal of HR 4238, special reform bills for social services and education, and the implementation of American Indian studies throughout educational institutions. To garner attention for their cause, the UIHS will present the petition and a detailed manifesto of grievances to the United States Congress. They are calling for public hearings and the formation of oversight committees to review and implement the American Indian Inclusion Act, with the aim of rectifying historical injustices faced by the misclassified American Indian. The UIHS's special presentation at The Jamaica Theological Seminary's Caribbean Thought class is scheduled for Monday, June 12th, 2023, from 6 pm to 9 pm. The presentation can be accessed via the following link: Zoom Link. Join Dr. Nolan Fontaine, Phoenix Moon, and the Urban Indian Heritage Society as they challenge the misclassification of American families' heritage and illuminate Jamaica's rich history.

Dear Editor, I am writing to explore the topic of Jamaica's identity and heritage, specifically in relation to the Taino people who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawakan Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Surinam, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion. Read the rest of the letter in the Jamaican Gleaner or The Jacobin Magazine. Also, The Neoliberal Commentary and The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine Journals. https://urbanindianheritagesociety.org/ PETITION ORGANIZED BY URBAN INDIAN HERITAGE SOCIETY (UIHS) FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN INCLUSION ACT. The Urban Indian Heritage Society (UIHS), and members there within, have created this petition to address the grievances of erasure, policide and ethnocidal misconduct of the United States Government against the Misclassified American Indian. The same body of people are hereby demanding reclassification of ethnic birthrights, removal or vacating of Federal and State occupied American Indian lands, return of assets, restitution, punitive damages, and institutional reform. Egregious acts were perpetrated against misclassified American Indians by the United States Government. The fore-mentioned American Indian is hereby demanding immediate remedy for their descendants and their assets. These demands are hereby listed: Reclassification Discovery, access, and redress to all known tribal records that provide direct distinction of the misclassified American Indian that are in possession of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Archives, Department of Housing, United States Department of Defense, and the United States Department of Commerce.  etc. Removal / Return Special Committee appointed by the UIHS to create report of land removed through exile, taxation, internal displacement, imminent domain, or other methods that displaced the American Indian. Removal of taxation on federal/state/municipal/property/sales tax of land and dissolution of mandate on income tax divestment for the Misclassified American Indian.  etc. Resolve Immediate repeal of HR 4238 (2015); 114th Congress in which direct violation of ADRIP (American Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) was committed and speaks to the sanctioned removal of the American Indian and Negro and replacing the ethnicities with African American and Native American, or Alaskan Native. The American Indian was reclassified to Negro per the 1830 Indian Removal Act. Within HR 4238, Negro has now been changed to African American etc. Restitution Immediate Creation of Public Misclassified American Indian Trust for allocation of restitution funds. etc. See Petition.

Do you know the meaning behind the phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee"? It is a phrase that changed the course of history for many Indians who were recruited, coerced, or tricked into signing Indentured Contracts. They were seen as a suitable replacement for Chattel Slavery: a population that could be easily controlled and manipulated to work tirelessly in the Sugar Plantations across the Caribbean. Many were promised easy money and a better life, but the truth was far from it. With little to no education or experience beyond their North Indian villages, many were led to believe that they were headed to the promised land. But in reality, many had unknowingly signed away their freedom. The phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee" represents the beginning of a harsh journey for our ancestors that we must never forget.

Did you know that between 1834 and 1917, more than one million Coolies were taken across the Kala Pani, or Dark Waters, to the plantations of Malaya, Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, British Guiana, Jamaica, and British Honduras? In “Coolie Woman: the Odyssey of Indenture,” Gaiutra Bahadur describes how the British and other Colonial Powers transformed generations of skilled Indians into an “indistinguishable mass of plantation laborers.” Part of that transformation took part during the journey from India to the Caribbean which, for many, was unimaginably excruciating. In fact, poor ventilation, outbreaks of disease, and a lack of food was common aboard the ships used to transport Indentured Indians. When they reached their destination, they were met with a hostile and unfamiliar environment and forced to work long hours for low wages. But despite all odds, they persevered and laid a foundation that future generations would build on.

I'd like to say that this week was Thanksgiving week, it's a great holiday tradition we have here in this country where we have a great feast to celebrate our harvest and blessings from whom all blessings flow Jesus Christ our God in heaven! Where we reflect on how our forefathers came here and established this nation and when I say our forefathers, I mean all of our forefathers because they are the fore runners, they were the , American Indians, Pilgrims-Europeans, Africans, Jewish, Asians, Arabs, Middle Eastern, Spanish, Mexicans, East Indians and so on, they all came to this melting pot call the United States of America to work, invest, live here and made this nation great! Unfortunately, there was some things that happened between the Americans Indians & our forefathers which was not so pleasant, with our African-American and United States of America that also we're not so pleasant; but overall, we have embraced this nation as one people and she has grown to be the greatest nation on Earth. I believe that's because God ordained her government and pour his grace on her; that he might also grow his church here, as he calls the church from Europe to prosper it here. God foreknew also that radio and TV was coming so when he couldn't reach people with his foot soldiers, his word would take flight via the radio, TV, now internet airwaves and keep on spreading his Gospel! So, at this time in earth history let us be thankful and grateful to our God for his great Mercy; and let us be a law-abiding Nation one that embrace law enforcement officers and the law. Let us return to a law-abiding Nation, so our God can look down upon us and say I have a nation that declares one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all and they live up to that pledge! Friends remember you can contact us at: heavensprayerlink@gmail.com or visit us on our website: heavensprayerlink.com leave us a prayer request or give us your testimony of how God has moved in your life: We'd love to pray with you, God bless you! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heavensprayerlink/support

I am less interested in the details of the election than the election as evidence of an insurmountable split in the identity of those calling themselves American. The East Indians were never one -- that manifested itself after WW2 when the split into India and Pakistan, and then later into Bangladesh. Civil Wars have been fought for less -- the English Colonists and the British Crown where White Christians, so to the Yankees and Rebels.  How much more this split in the peoples of America today.  

In this era of Globlaism and the idea that ‘we are all the same’, the realism of the ancestral lifestyle shows us how inaccurate such ideas really are. Our ethnic differences, in other words are true diversity in the type of human that we are defines us. If you are of European descent, for instance, or white Caucasion, you are a part of what is the smallest ethnic tribe on earth, and shrinking. Our birthrate is below replacement level, and growing smaller. The white ethnic tribe is gettling ever smaller in numbers, despite controlling large areas of the world’s land mass. Asians are the largest ethnic group, but their numbers are finally getting under control, due to strict birth control and planning. The numbers of East Indians, blacks, and other mixed races are exploding far beyond carrying capacity in their native lands, with no slowing in sight!Why do I bring this up? Well, humans are tribal by their very nature. We thrive in homogenous tribes, amongst others with like minds, values, histories, and above all DNA. We resemble one another greatly, a single tribe of one ethnicity is very like a group of close relatives, of 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins if you will. In such a group, we are happiest and healthiest, with crime almost unheard of (for who would rob his relations?) , and with a common purpose and will. In such a tribe, to take advantage of others really makes no sense, and is always strictly punished and stopped. Such a tribe would thrive on similar foodstuffs, and would agree on what was a proper way to live in terms of land usage, ethics, religion- in fact, in all particulars of life! This is how the world was divided, since time began: the races were deemed ‘separate but equal’. Or, at least that being among others of your own was the most natural and desirable state.But now, now that we know of scientific racial differences, we have many deniers, who insist we are all the same. We are not; some races are faster runners, some are stronger with thicker bones, and some are just smarter on average. There is no serious counterargument here- it is a scientific fact. As if a marked difference in temperaments, with some being far more violent than others.This is just like the paleo realization that evolution made us to thrive on certain foods, like grass fed meat, and green plants in preference to grains and sugars. Another scientific fact that is ignored and ridiculed by most of the population, because the so-called experts told them it was untrue. But the paleo people are those that listened to real science, and figured out the truth!We also hearkened to our evolutionary past, and realized that sleeping in blacked out rooms like our ancestral caves for at least 8 hours per night, and rising at dawn was also what we have evolved to do, along with exercising regularly, briefly and intensely (thus mimicking our ancestors actions of hunting and gathering) - why, this made us healthy, happy, and disease free! We learned to ignore the so-called scientific imposters who told us to eat low fat, limit our calories; all while eating GMO grains sprayed with glyphosate and putting fluoride in our water would make us so healthy that we could look forward to a future of stents in our veins and autoimmune diseases that were caused by “no reason we know of”… What a crock!So here we are- we are on board with our evolutionary paleo persona, how to eat and live and exercise and sleep to be our very best. Many of us have learned that a rural type of environment is far preferable for our genotype to thrive, and spend ample time in nature, away from toxi

History has clearly shown that the ancient world used cannibis, pot, extensively. The Sumerians, Egyptians, East Indians, both north and south America, Africa, China, Persia and the Greeks too. But what most people don't know is that cannibis was used both for ritual worship by the temple priests in Jerusalem. The Lord Yahweh or Jahova (the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims) tells Moses and other profits to burn cannibis, along with Frankinsence and Myrr, as well as make ointments from the cannibis, mixed with other aromatics. The priests were directed to sit in the Holy of Holy's to behold God. Our God loves to get high. Exodus 30:22-25, 30:30, 30:8-10, etc. This satsang is like getting bong hits on God. www.SelfAwareness.com

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface The first week of every month, we invite you to our preview roundtable where Dr. Ed lengel, Katherine Akey and I talk about the upcoming month and the key events that happened 100 years ago.  The question on the table as we sat down was, “ what WERE the big stories and themes in June 1918… What follows is our conversation. [MUSIC TRANSITION] [TRANSITION] World War One THEN June 1918 Roundtable [Ed Lengel, Katherine Akey, Theo Mayer take an overview of June 1918] [MUSIC TRANSITION] Great War Project Let’s move on to the great war project with Mike Shuster, former NPR correspondent and curator for the Great War project blog. Mike - in your post this week you talk about Pershing telling the Allies that the American Forces would not really be ready till the end of the year - maybe not until 1919 - which totally freaks everyone out. The French are quite certain that they cannot last till then, aren’t they Mike? [MIKE POST] Mike Shuster, curator for the Great War Project blog. The link to his post is in the podcast notes LINK: http://greatwarproject.org/2018/05/27/americans-not-ready-until-1919/ [SOUND EFFECT] World War One NOW And that’s what was happening 100 Years ago  - It is time to fast forward into the present with WW1 Centennial News NOW - [SOUND EFFECT] This part of the podcast focuses on NOW and how we are commemorating the centennial of WWI Commission News Memorial Day Follow Up: This past weekend we celebrated Memorial Day -- and WWI commemorations were front and center in communities all across the country. The Commission had a pretty busy weekend as well! First of all we had a float to commemorate the centennial of WWI in the National Memorial Day parade in Washington, DC. Besides being joined by  a number of very cool WW1-era trucks and vehicles, General John J. Pershing himself -- and a bunch of reenactors - We also introduced America’s National WWI Memorial -- asking crowds - “Did you know that every major war of the 20th century has a Memorial in the Nation’s capitol except WWI?” The unbelieving shock at this revelation was pretty universal. Everyone assumes that there is one! But there’s not [video clip of anchors] [SOUND EFFECT] Now New York City always has quite a Memorial Day - Besides their own parade, the Navy coming to town for the much beloved Fleet week - this year the Commission was instrumental in sponsoring a very special event for the occasion. The musicians of the 369th Experience brought turn-of-the-century ragtime and Jazz onto the decks of the USS Intrepid at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum at  Manhattan’s Pier 86. Carrying on the legacy of the famous Harlem Hellfighters Regimental band, the 369th Experience pulled together talented modern-day musicians from  HBCU’s - Historically black colleges and universities, all around the country. The musicians competed to participate in this 369th regimental band tribute -- and a number of amazing and amazed young men came to New York for a truly memorable experience! [Video clip from PIX 11 News] We collected the social media posts about the 369th Regiment, regimental band and the Memorial day concerts from everywhere, and put them in a special gallery at ww1cc.org/369th or follow the various links in the podcast notes to learn more.

Our guest for this segment has an unusual background in his WWI expertise… He has become one of the leading “ Go To Guys” when it comes to indian participation in WWI.  He just graduated as the Ronald E. McNair Scholar from St. Lawrence University - but before that - he was an intern at our own World War One Centennial Commission. His name is Tanveer Kalo, Tanveer, thank you for joining us! [greetings] [Tanveer-- it is so exciting to see an intern from the commission continuing their passion fanned to flame by that experience. Can you tell us the story of of your intern experience and how it shaped this interest of yours in the Indian American experience of a hundred years ago?] [When you interned, you helped the noted journalist Suruchi Mohan put together one of our publishing partner site called Vande Mataram and dedicated to the Indian American experience.] [The site features the story of the “Hindoo” conspiracy -- can give us an overview of the incident?] [You recently wrote up a profile on Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind -- who was he, and why did you choose to focus on his story?] [Tanveer… What’s next on your horizon?] [Tanveer - we are all very proud and excited about your growing work and recognition in this area. Thank you so much for coming in and speaking with us today!] [goodbyes/thanks] Tanveer Kalo just graduated as the Ronald E.

For this, we are joined by Nancy Heingartner, the Assistant Director for Outreach at the University of Wisconsin  Madison's Institute for Regional and International Studies. Nancy also happens to be the great-granddaughter of Alexander Heingartner, the U.S. Consul in liege, Belgium, in 1915. Her discoveries in a family attic has gifted her with a very special collection of letters sent to Alexander Heingartner -- letters of thanks -- from Belgian school children 100 years ago. Nancy - welcome to the podcast! [greetings/welcome] [Nancy, could you start off by telling us a bit about your great-grandfather? Was he in Belgium when the war broke out?] [The children writing him letters were thanking him for the support and provisions given to them by the Commission for Relief in Belgium -- Now that was the organization that was led by a young engineer and mining consultant named Herbert Hoover - what is that Commission, and how was your Great-Grandfather involved in it?] [Tell us about the letters! We’re audio only, but we hear that they are really delicate and beautiful objects.] [What are your plans for the letters now?] [thanks/goodbyes] Nancy Heingartner is the Assistant Director for Outreach at the University of Wisconsin, Madison's Institute for Regional and International Studies.

This week we’re profiling a project from Bismarck, North Dakota - it is the capital city of North Dakota located on the bluffs of the Missouri River.. With us to tell us more about the World War Memorial Building project is Susan Wefald, vice chair of the North Dakota World War I Centennial Committee, an active volunteer, and a retired elected state official. Susan, Welcome to the Podcast! [Susan, your project involves a WWI memorial building rather than a statue or a monument. What made your community decide to build a WWI memorial building in 1929?] [In its early years, the building housed the state legislature for a time, how did that come about?] [Susan, you have clearly been the spearhead for a lobby restoration efforts, how did you get involved.] [Has there been any community reaction to the site being selected as a WWI Centennial Memorial site?] [What stage is the work at?] [Do you plan a rededication?] Thank you Susan for coming in and telling us about the project.

Links: www.ww1cc.org/100cities Speaking WW1 Welcome to our weekly feature “Speaking World War 1” -- Where we explore the words & phrases that are rooted in the war  --- After April 6th of last year, we started talking about the Cantonments that the US government was building all around the country to train our millions of new recruits. Everybody got the idea that Cantonments were big ol’ training camps from the context we used it in  - All the historians. and military experts around me were using the word like it was something I should have known - but you know, when I started asking around, who the heck uses the term Cantonment on a regular basis!? Seriously - turn out that the word cantonment comes from a 16th century middle french term for a corner or angle - which leads to an area - then a section of land - then a segment of a region - By 1917, Cantonment was the name for a permanent military camp or garrisons -- and for World War One the US built some 30 of these camps to accommodate the training for our new army. Cantonment -  but a pretty esoteric term for my money!  - this week’s word for Speaking WWI Next week we are going to look at the word Boot Camp - which also shows up at this time, and unlike Cantonment - it sticks around and is popular  today! Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantonment [SOUND EFFECT] WW1 War Tech Flammenwerfer Now for WW1 War Tech -- This week we’re looking at one of the truly horrific ww1 weapons - tweaked up by the Germans and called - Der FlammenWerfer - which quite literally translated as the flame thrower.  100 years ago as the Americans entered the fray at Cantigny, French flamethrower troops were part of the offensive forces used against the Germans. Now The idea of the flamethrower goes WAY back… to the 5th century BC, with some of the earliest working examples dating back to the Byzantine era --- by the 1st century AD hand-pumped flamethrowers on board ships were being used and known as Greek Fire. The more contemporary version of the weapon was developed in the early 1900s by the German inventor Richard Fiedler. There were two types, the Kleinflammenwerfer and the Grossflammenwerfer, which appropriate to very  literal nature of the german language means the small flame thrower and big flame thrower. The small ones were one-man portable backpack devices and the large ones were three-man, big hose, big pressure, long throw monsters. Although it was initially placed into the German arsenal in 1911, the flamethrower wasn’t used extensively until the summer of 1915. The shock, fear and terror caused by the cascading sheets of fire led to quite a panic among the defenders. It really is a horribly grizzly weapon! And like so many other devastations of  WWI, the Allies quickly began developing their own flame throwing machines. Meanwhile, flamethrower operators typically do not live very long. The first threat is not from the enemy but from potential fatal malfunctions of the weapon -- after all, with the portable ones, you were essentially carrying around an explosive backpack with a lit fuse. - with the big ones - well it’s just sort of nutty to squirt huge quantities of flammable liquids out a nozzle and then light it on fire…   Enemy gunfire is a pretty big threat too  - You know that nicely lit-up guy with the flame stick -- well he’s just a natural target to shoot at first. The Flammenwerfer - another horrific WWI weapon and this week’s subject for WWI War Tech  -- Learn more at the links in the podcast notes.

Nina McConigley is an accomplished author whose work tells a less common story of Wyoming- one of identity, race and the immigrant experience in the rural West. Nina's first book, Cowboys and East Indians, won the prestigious Pen Open Book Award in 2014, as well as the High Plains Book award and made Oprah’s List. Nina tells me what it was like growing up in Wyoming as a woman of color, her creative process and her upcoming novel. Podcast by Linton Productions.

Ship defying discriminatory Canadian immigration law turned back. The first East Indians to enter Canada suffered hardship and racism sharpened by a concerted effort to keep them out. In 1910, the Canadian Parliament enacted the “continuous journey provision” of the Immigration Act, specifying that only immigrants who had traveled from their place of origin to Canada on one non-stop boat trip, could enter the country as new immigrants. Clearly, this was possible from Europe but not India; the legislation was designed specifically to exclude immigrants from India. In 1914, Gurdit Singh chartered a boat, the Komagata Maru, to challenge the discriminatory laws. Among the 376 passengers were 340 Sikhs, 12 Hindus and 24 Muslims from India. The ship departed from Hong Kong and stopped in Japan before entering Vancouver’s harbour on May 23, 1914. Authorities detained the ship for two months as legal wranglings took place. In the end, they allowed only 24 aboard to stay. A military escort forced the ship and the rest of its occupants to return home on July 23, 1914.

Nina McConigley is the guest. Her debut story collection, Cowboys and East Indians, is now available from FiveChapters Books.  Antonya Nelson says “What I love about this collection of stories is its wit and warmth. McConigley’s characters are “the wrong kind of Indians living in Wyoming,” and their struggles as exoticized and denigrated community members could be, in a less interesting writer’s hands, yet another scolding tract on America’s guilty conscience. Instead, this book celebrates human pluck and humor, a new sensibility for a new time, when everyone is both at home and utterly alien in the contemporary American west. A terrific read.” And Eleanor Henderson raves “Nina McConigley crafts out of the Wyoming landscape a West few readers have known before–a place where, when you don’t look like everyone else, there aren’t many places to hide. And yet anyone who has ever felt a complicated kind of love for home, country, and family will find pleasure and wisdom in these stunning stories.” Monologue topics: Valentine's Day, hatred of holidays, Presidents Day, love.
