Send us a textLeaf Running-rabbit has lived in a completely off-grid property in Ward for 34 years, moving in when he discovered a squatter's shack, a cabin built as a temporary camp for miners. He ultimately lived with his family in the cabin for 17 years before being required to build a house to legal code, receiving his certificate of occupancy of the new house in 2009.In the late 1990s, he attended the University of Colorado Boulder tuition-free for five years through a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, earning a double major in poetry and Spanish. He feels that true poetry is an art form that can articulate feelings and experiences beyond the words written on the page.He has particularly focused on a form he calls photopoetics, where he takes photographs and writes poems that go together. He loves that the photo and poem can both say things that the other can't and work together to leave an impact on the reader (and viewer) of the work.Through his writing, he aims to use words to communicate experiences that can't be described with words, such as spirituality, enlightenment, and consciousness. He believes that using the right words can allow people to understand concepts beyond words. Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear Podcast, featuring news and culture from peak to peak!

The Last Internationale (TLI) is an American rock band formed by New York City guitarist Edgey Pires and vocalist Delila Paz. The group is known for its socially-conscious lyrics and strong live performances. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello introduced the band to his bandmate, drummer Brad Wilk, who subsequently joined the band between 2014 and 2015. Their debut album, We Will Reign, was released on August 19, 2014 via Epic Records and was produced by Brendan O'Brien and Brendan Benson. The band made their network television debut on August 27, 2014, playing "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Indian Blood" on the Late Show with David Letterman. TLI toured with the likes of Robert Plant, The Who, Guns N Roses, Kiss and played the biggest European Festivals. I had the pleasure to chat with Edgey and Delila, in anticipation of both their new album "TLI3" release March 31st, coinciding with a mammoth 33-date headline tour of Europe and UK! There was so much more I wanted to talk about, but we agreed we shall have a part 2 :) Hope you all enjoy this insightful conversation! Much love, Carl PS: Thanks to my dear friend, Niper Boaventura, for Mastering the Audio of this Episode!
In this episode, Jay and Britney discuss topics ranging from DNA tests to checking up on friends during quarantine.
Blood quantum. The percentage of Native “blood” one possesses, the fraction listed on Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood, and a fraught concept that has its defenders and dissenters in our communities. Despite its colonial origins, many tribes still use blood quantum as a requirement for tribal enrollment, and these fictional fractions carry huge weight in the lives of Indigenous Peoples. In this episode we hope to parse out some of these complications around the topic of blood quantum—legally and interpersonally, as well as the ways these metaphors of blood have moved into genetic science. Many of our Native nations are at a crisis point when it comes to thinking about enrollment, and notions of blood and belonging are at the center of that. Knowing all of this, where do we go from here? Join Matika and Adrienne as they discuss blood, enrollment, law, genetics and belonging with Charlotte Logan (Akwesasne Mohawk) a genetic researcher debunking blood quantum theory, Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribes of California, descending from the Nomlaki and Concow Tribes), a prolific Seattle attorney fighting disenrollment cases, Tommy Miller (Colville), attorney and author of law review article “Beyond Blood Quantum: The legal and political implications of expanding tribal enrollment”, and Professor David Wilkins (Lumbee), legal scholar and co-author of “Dismembered: Native Disenrollement and the Battle for Human Rights”.Guest Bios:Charlotte Logan is Akwesasne Mohawk and a molecular biologist working in upstate new york. Charlotte has a Masters in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Brandeis University and has spent a decade specializing in the field of small RNA and mRNA Processing. She recently made a life altering choice by stepping away from her career and enrolling in the Onondaga Language Program, where she spent two years studying the Onandoga language. Then returned to biochemistry and molecular biology as a senior research support specialist, and now is a graduate student in linguistics.Gabe Galanda belongs to the Round Valley Indian Tribes of California, descending from the Nomlaki and Concow Tribes. As a partner at Galanda Broadman, Gabe is an attorney whose legal practice represents tribal governments, businesses and citizens often working on complex, multi-party litigation and crisis management. Gabe is a prolific writer on tribal litigation and sovereignty and Indian civil rights issues, having been published over 100 times in national periodicals like The National Law Journal, and Business Law Today. Tommy Miller is a Citizen of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and his Seattle law practice focuses on litigation, Indian Law, government contracts and procurement, which touch on a wide variety of issues including treaty rights. He received his JD and bachelor’s degrees from Harvard University. In 2014, he published in the American Indian Law Journal: “Beyond Blood Quantum: The Legal and Political Implications of Expanding Tribal Enrollment.” David E. Wilkins is a citizen of the Lumbee Nation of North Carolina and a Professor at the University of Richmond. He earned his Ph.D. in political science from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Professor Wilkins research and teaching interests include Indigenous politics and governance, federal Indian policy and law, comparative politics, and diplomacy and constitutional development. He is the author or editor of a number of books, including "Dismembered: Native Disenrollment and the Battle for Basic Human Rights.”Special thanks for the incredible episode art by Ciara Sana (instagram.com/artbyciara) and editing and sound production by Teo ShantzSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)

This is the FIRST ever return interview done on the podcast! I spoke to Alpesh back in 2014, since then a lot has happened and recently he sold his business in a multi-million dollar deal after "Getting his arse kicked in Africa" (His own words). Here we talk about how he has been TESTED through this process, what NOT to do and the struggles he found "Post Acquisition" when he should have been on could nine in theory. Alpesh is the essence of a true Entrepreneur. We take risks and we get tested everyday. Born in the Ugandan jungle while his parents were there on safari, Mi- Fone's CEO and Founder is the true meaning of "Indian Blood...African Heart". This original African Indian entrepreneur made a name for himself selling large volumes of mobile devices to the Chinese back in the '90s. In 2008 Alpesh founded Mi-Fone the first African Mobile Devices brand and one of Africa’s first Tech start ups. Prior to Mi Fone, Alpesh was Director of Sales Africa/Middle East for Motorola Inc. Betweeen 2002-2006 Alpesh placed more than 5m devices into the African continent generating revenues upwards of $500m. Whilst at Motorola he realised that the big brands were missing the point and that ultimately Africa was best served by Africans themselves. His 20 years of experience in the mobile business is not to be taken lightly and he is well respected in Emerging markets for his knowledge. He is known to be one of the hardest working people in the African Tech space and is often quoted as "An Innovator, a Disruptor and a true Visionary". Alpesh and the Mi Fone brand have been regularly featured on CNN, Forbes Africa, CNBC Africa and numerous other media. Mi-Fone, a completely bootstrapped operation, has also been the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan 2014 award for "Entrepreneurial company of the Year" as well as a finalist in the African Leadership Network Awards 2015. See www.mi-fone.mobi for more information. In 2012, Alpesh founded OJU, the worlds first Afro Emoticon character brand. OJU received world wide press attention and has garnered numerous awards such as the South African Loeries Grand Prix Digital Winner 2014 and Licensing Expo 2014 “One to Watch” award.

Alpesh has a deep palate for Nigerian delicacies and is ALWAYS the last man standing at Mi-Fone events. After living in 5 continents around the world, he now maintains residences in Mauritius, Dubai and South Africa... and of course has a resident seat on most Emirates flights! At the time of this interview he was just named GQ's Best Dressed Man for 2014, so he looks the part as well :)

Unlike other ethnic minorities in the United States, American Indians are defined not solely by self-designation but by federal, state, and tribal laws. Blood quantum—originating from archaic notions of biological race and still codified in contemporary policy—remains one of the most important factors in determining tribal citizenship, access to services, and community recognition. This concept, however, is not without debate and contestation. This symposium features Native scholars who approach this important and complex topic from various perspectives. Sociologists Eva Marie Garroutte (Boston College) and C. Matthew Snipp (Stanford) join historian Malinda Lowery (UNC Chapel Hill) and anthropologist Kimberly TallBear (UC Berkeley) in a discussion moderated by museum historian Gabrielle Tayac. Presented on September 16, 2011.
