For the first time, the United States is owning up to its role in the deplorable treatment of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian children at Indian Boarding Schools over more than a century. The report from the U.S. Department of Interior documents the deaths of nearly 1,000 children at boarding schools—many in collaboration with Catholic and other Christian institutions. The report includes distressing testimony collected at public meetings around the country from boarding school survivors and their relatives, detailing the personal costs of the government's attempts to eradicate Native cultures and languages. It recommends the federal government not only formally apologize, but also establish a path and funding to account for the wrongs and the continuing harm resulting from it. GUESTS Bryan Newland (Bay Mills Indian Community), Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior Ben Barnes (Shawnee Tribe), chief of the Shawnee Tribe and National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition board member Gwen Carr (Cayuga), executive director of the Carlisle Indian School Project Levi Rickert (Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation), publisher and editor of Native News Online

Ada Deer was a pioneer in education as a lecturer and researcher in social work and Native American Studies at the University of Madison-Wisconsin. She was also renowned for her tireless advocacy and policy work. She was instrumental in achieving federal recognition for Alaska Native villages, her own Menominee Tribe and several others. Along the way, she helped dismantle the federal Termination Era. She was the first Native woman to run for Congress in Wisconsin. She lost the election, but went on to hold a number of influential positions including Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs. GUESTS Gwen Carr (Cayuga Nation), executive director of the Carlisle Indian School Project Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland (Bay Mills Indian Community), Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior Chief Mike Williams Sr. (Yupiaq) Joe Deer (Menominee Tribe), nephew of Ada Deer, retired coast guard captain, Iraq War veteran, and commercial pilot

The Biden Administration's goal to eliminate the sale and use of menthol cigarettes is raising alarms among critics who believe it disproportionately impacts the Black community. Recent statistics shed light on this issue. A 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that a staggering 85% of menthol smokers are Black. In a recent interview with The New York Post, Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, expressed her concerns regarding New York state's proposed ban on menthol cigarettes. Garner, as many may recall, tragically lost his life after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. Officers were aware of Garner's involvement in selling cigarettes. Carr warns that a prohibition on menthol cigarettes could have "unintended consequences." The Food and Drug Administration, responsible for implementing this policy, claims that by making tobacco-related diseases and deaths part of America's past, they are working towards a healthier future. However, given the overwhelming number of menthol cigarette users are in the Black community, questions arise as to why this particular demographic appears to be targeted directly. Critics argue that the proposed ban may lead to the creation of a black market for menthol cigarettes, potentially further exposing various communities to criminal activity. The Biden administration's decision has ignited an ongoing debate surrounding public health measures and their potential impact on marginalized communities. A final decision is expected to be announced in August. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One day before the fifth anniversary of Eric Garner’s death at the hands of police officers in New York, the Justice Department said it would not bring federal civil rights charges against an officer involved. We look at that decision. Guest: Ashley Southall, who covers New York for The New York Times. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily. Background reading: Attorney General William P. Barr made the call not to seek a civil rights indictment against Officer Daniel Pantaleo.“The D.O.J. has failed us,” Mr. Garner’s mother, Gwen Carr, said. “Five years ago, my son said ‘I can’t breathe’ 11 times. Today, we can’t breathe. Because they have let us down.”

We sat down with Gwen Carr, A mother, an author and social activist for criminal justice reform. Millions of Americans and people around the world heard the haunting words from Eric Garner "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" as police officer Daniel Pantaleo used an illegal use of force by putting Eric Garner in a chokehold and ultimately killing Garner. Gwen Carr takes us back to that tragic day on July 17, 2014. We talked about the importance of voting, participating in community/town hall meetings and the importance of taking back our communities.

Gwen Carr appeared live on WBAI 99.5-FM Listener sponsored Pacifica radio in New York City. She was interviewed by WBAI News Dorector Paul DeRienzo Nearly two dozen witnesses may be called in the NYPD trial of the cop accused of using a deadly chokehold on Eric Garner, the Daily News has learned. Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo is facing department charges for using a banned maneuver, killing Garner on a Staten Island street on July 17, 2014. The Civilian Complaint Review Board said Thursday it plans to call 17 witnesses to the stand in Police Headquarters, with another 33 possible.

on the one year anniversary of the non-indictment over the murder of Eric Garner, we speak to his mother Gwen Carr. Though the NYPD's murder of Eric Garner by chokehold was captured on video and his death ruled a homicide by medical examiners, a grand jury decided to not even indict the policeman (or men) responsible. We talk about Garner's life and his death, and how it turned Carr into an activist. Gwen also explains what justice means for her and her thoughts on the recent killing of Laquan McDonald. We also speak to MSNBC reporter Irin Carmon about the Planned Parenthood shooting and her new book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Notorious RBG.

In 2014, Eric Garner was killed in New York City by a police officer, after being put in a chokehold while being arrested for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Video footage of the incident generated international attention and sparked widespread debate and protests about the use of force by law enforcement in the United States.Since Eric's death, his mother, Ms. Gwen Carr has been seeking justice for her son and others who have died at the hands of police in NYC and other American cities. We discussed police reform, the role that racism plays in such incidents, how to reduce police brutality, and the FDA's proposed menthol cigarette ban, which some fear could have disproportionate and dangerous consequences.Follow Zuby - https://twitter.com/zubymusicThe E.R.I.C.
