The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
Lisa Hamilton, President and CEO of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, delves into the organisation's mission and its groundbreaking efforts to create lasting change for children and families across the United States. The foundation, established by Jim Casey, the founder of UPS — the world's largest logistics company — carries forward a legacy rooted in empowering young people facing adversity. With an annual grant distribution exceeding $100 million and an endowment of $3.5 billion, the foundation focuses on child welfare, economic opportunity, community development, and juvenile justice reform. Lisa highlights the foundation's innovative approach to philanthropy, acting as a catalyst for systemic change rather than merely funding ongoing programs. By identifying promising ideas, piloting initiatives in diverse communities, and leveraging data to scale proven solutions, the foundation partners with nonprofits, government agencies, and community stakeholders to effect change at scale. She underscores the importance of improving systemic operations — whether within juvenile justice, child welfare, or education systems — to ensure sustainability and broad impact. A key topic of the discussion is the foundation's Thrive by 25 initiative, which focuses on adolescence as a critical and transformative period of development. Lisa emphasises the necessity of providing young people aged 14 to 24 with the resources and opportunities to succeed, including access to housing, education, financial stability, and meaningful adult relationships. She stresses the importance of aligning programs with emerging brain science, which highlights adolescence as a time of heightened potential for growth and learning. Lisa calls for a collective reimagining of adolescence as a time of promise rather than peril. She celebrates this life stage as a cornerstone of human development and a fertile period for nurturing leadership, resilience, and creativity.

California joins the union and messages need to be delivered. UPS had a solution and decided it needed to be luxury and efficient. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast. Teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop, to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [Colair Cooling & Heating] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders podcast. Dave Young here with Stephen Semple. And we're talking about empires and how they were built. Get it? That's the name of the pod... that's what we do here. Stephen Semple: I've never put that together before. Dave Young: Wow, I see. Aren't you glad I'm here? Stephen Semple: I'm so glad. Dave Young: You whispered the three letters, UPS, into my ears just as the countdown started. And I'm trying to think of a UPS story, and mostly what I think of when I think of UPS, think back years ago, I sort of remember, I think their start but I remember that being a UPS driver was a way better job back then than it is today. But that's probably not a big part of this story. So let's talk about how they started. Stephen Semple: Pretty sure it was UPS recently that actually just put through a new pay package and benefits, and things along that lines. That really ramped up what people are being paid at UPS, if I remember correctly. But you're right, this is not a big part. It's not a big part of the story. Dave Young: I think it started... how long have they been around, Stephen? Stephen Semple: They were founded on August 28th, 1907. Dave Young: I feel like probably I lived in a town so small that we didn't have one until maybe the sixties or seventies. They just didn't show up. Stephen Semple: Well, and this is an interesting part. There was a big challenge to them becoming nationwide. They were founded in August 1907 by James Casey and Claude Ryan in Seattle. I didn't realize that they had started in Seattle. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Stephen Semple: And they actually first started as their original name was the American Message Company. And today of course is known as UPS, United Parcel Service. They do like 90 billion in sales and have over 500,000 employees. Just what a monster they have become in this space. But basically they started around the time California joins the union. And you know what ends up happening now, I know Seattle's not and before people go nuts, I know Seattle's not in California, but I was just trying to, you know, Historic landmark. Dave Young: It's the West Coast, yeah. Stephen Semple: Exactly. But I get it, before people know- Dave Young: Didn't all join at once. Yeah. Stephen Semple: ... So, California joins the union. There's this growth happening. In the west, there's this need to transport items and it's hard getting things to the new territories. And lots of delivery services pop up. Wells Fargo pops up for the transportation of money. The Pony Express is created for transporting of mail. Now, of course, the Pony Express only lasts 18 months because the telegraph wipes them out. Right? Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: But here's the interesting thing, with the telegraph, you still need a messenger service to run the last leg. To take it from the telegraph station to the person. So, Jim Casey's, 19 years old, he's in Seattle and he sets up this business for basically running the telegraphs. That's how they start. Dave Young: Okay. They're the last mile guy. Stephen Semple: That's the reason why they're the American message service. They start off as being the last mile guy.
Hope Kelaher originally pursued environmental engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore but quickly realized that she preferred helping people. She worked in the college's career center as a career coach and had the opportunity to go to Cuba to study their public health system. After attending Johns Hopkins, Hope completed some internships with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva on postpartum depression. This was her initial entry into the world of psychology as she “did a lot of work in Inner City Baltimore at the Hopkins School Public Health doing family and child health research.” She then had the opportunity to go into the Peace Corp, where they commissioned her to Uganda doing AIDS Hospice work. However, when getting her physical, her doctor looked at her and said “why are you going to Uganda? You could do so much good here in Baltimore, why don't you stick around?” Her doctor told her that hospice work is really hard and “I don't really think this is the best thing for you.” Hope's uncle also said the same thing. So, she decided to stay in Baltimore and worked at The Annie E. Casey Foundation, which was started by one of the founders of UPS, Jim Casey, and exists to help children thrive and survive in underdeveloped and low-income communities by providing services and grants to those in need. She also worked with the NECC Foundation and the Children's Aid Society. In this podcast, Hope shares her academic and professional journey, discusses why she went into social work and some of the requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York. She also discusses her private practice, Hope Kelaher Therapy, located in Lower Manhattan, NYC. Hope received her bachelor's degree in public health and sociology from Johns Hopkins University and her Master of Arts in Social Work from Columbia University. She conducted her post-graduate study in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling at the Ackerman Institute for Family in NY. Those interested in a career in social work or psychology may find that schooling can be expensive. In addition to internships, scholarships, grants, and other funding opportunities to help offset the cost of schooling, Hope shares how she attained funding from the Children's Aid Society to help fund half of her tuition while attending Columbia University. Hope shares “so, Columbia and my agency had this agreement where I could, you know, go to school part-time and then work full-time, so that's what I did.” She continues by stating “any recommendation I can give to people going into social work, social work does not pay a lot of money, so wherever you can find a deal, take it, right?” After graduating from Columbia, she decided to pursue family therapy, so she attended Ackerman Institute for Family. When reflecting on her journey, Hope shares “so really, my journey into private practice and being more of a clinical person happened while I was working in a nonprofit agency.” After she completed the Ackerman Institute for Family's clinical externship, she remembers doing a lot of hard work, working really long hours, and not getting compensated fairly “and so, that's something that people have to really think about when they do this work.” Therefore, Hope started her own very small private practice in 2018 while she was still working full-time. She explains that, in New York, a licensed clinical social worker can do therapy whereas in some other states, you have to have a PsyD or PhD. At this point, we discuss some of the requirements for becoming a LCSW in New York and share some valuable information and websites for those interested in this career path. Hope discusses some of the biggest challenges associated with opening your own private practice and provides helpful advice including making sure you “get a lot of experience working with many different people before you go into private practice because you never know who will show up.

Key moments in life often drive significant change. It's often a time when walking through a new door to new experiences makes us realise the thrill, but also the ease once we build up the courage.

P. Gabrielle Foreman and Jim Casey's edited volume The Colored Conventions Movement: Black Organizing in the Nineteenth Century (UNC Press, 2021) is the first to focus on the Colored Conventions movement, the nineteenth century's longest campaign for Black civil rights. Well before the founding of the NAACP and other twentieth-century pillars of the civil rights movement, tens of thousands of Black leaders organized state and national conventions across North America. Over seven decades, they advocated for social justice and against slavery, protesting state-sanctioned and mob violence while demanding voting, legal, labor, and educational rights. While Black-led activism in this era is often overshadowed by the attention paid to the abolition movement, this collection centers Black activist networks, influence, and institution building. Collectively, these essays highlight the vital role of the Colored Conventions in the lives of thousands of early organizers, including many of the most famous writers, ministers, politicians, and entrepreneurs in the long history of Black activism. Explore accompanying exhibits and historical records at The Colored Conventions Project website. Adam McNeil is a Ph.D. Candidate in History at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

This week Clint has a conversation with Cliff Oxford, a New York Times blogger, Forbes columnist, founder of the CliffCo. Think Tank and author of “A Redneck Reverie: The Rationale for the Trump Phenomenon.” In part one, Cliff discusses how his career as a visionary entrepreneur began by loading trucks at UPS, how he discovered the importance of customer relationship management (CRM), and why he thinks Jim Casey is one of the few company founders who made the right decision every time.

E Pluribus Unum–from the many to the one—seemingly describes a republic based on unity in diversity. Yet Thomas Jefferson, the same person who wrote “All men are created equal,” owned 600 slaves during his lifetime. How can we reconcile such incongruence? In previous podcasts we provided some clues, including the little known fact that the high-minded values of liberty, equality, and natural rights were influenced by, and often directly appropriated from, Native American societies that were truly egalitarian. But the founding fathers only appropriated what they understood or wanted to include. Specifically, they left out women and people of color—in so doing, they created an American shadow. A significant part of our history has been repressed or marginalized as a way of protecting white male privilege, a history we are only beginning to face. Strangely enough, we can thank the Donald Trump presidency for acting as a catalyst in revealing this American shadow. This has been dangerous because it has given license to previously suppressed forces to openly hate, but it has also been an opportunity to see America as it really is—and maybe to change. Three and a half years into the Trump administration, the Black Lives Matter movement surpassed the Women's March to become the largest movement in world history. And while BLM has a much longer history, predating the Trump administration, it has now garnered a record number of allies to the cause. Is White America finally waking up? To discuss this and more, we are joined today by two creative men who have breathed new life into the concept of liberty and artistic expression. Through the merging of music, poetry, and social activism, they are making an impact in shifting the consciousness of America away from the politics of intolerance and exclusion toward the politics of love and inclusion. Ron Crowder and Hakim Bellamy teamed together on a video version of the song “Liberty” that graces the opening of each and every Circle for Original Thinking podcast. They are here to talk about that, BLM, unity in diversity, and much more. “America is going through a reckoning now. Forty-nine to fifty-one percent of the country wants to admit we're racist and proceed with the remedy. The other half are like, nah, it's serving me well. Let's keep doing what we are doing.” ~ Hakim Bellamy “This is no ordinary time; this is no ordinary world we live in, no ordinary life, one thought could change the world but will it change our minds?All that we can ever know could unwind, collapse and then explode. This is the moment – one chance to be alive. This is the moment, it's time to realize who we are.” ~ Ron Crowder from his song “This is the Moment” _______________________________________________________________ Thank you to our generous sponsors!

Parry is an educator, ecopsychologist, and political philosopher whose passion is to reform thinking and society into a coherent, cohesive, whole. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently the director of a grass-roots think tank, the Circle for Original Thinking and is debuting this podcast series of the same name in conjunction with Ecology Prime. He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Ron Crowder was already an award-winning audio engineer, producer, and session player long before he started composing, recording, and performing his own songs. Since then, he has achieved similar success writing and performing his own music. Ron won the award for Best Song at the 2018 NM Music Awards, along with his co-writers, Jim Casey and Danny Casey, for their song, “Liberty,” the title track from the EP of the same name. Crowder followed that with a new song “This is the Moment,” a timely and prescient song that won the award for Best song at the 2020 NM Music Awards. Crowder is donating net proceeds from the sales of “This is the Moment” to the Navajo-Hopi Covid-19 Relief Fund. Hakim Bellamy has been called a civic catalyst, a culture change agent, and a gardener for democracy; he is also a poet, musician, and peace ambassador. Hakim burst onto the Albuquerque scene just over a decade ago and shortly thereafter became the inaugural Poet Laureate of Albuquerque, NM (from 2012-2014). Hakim is a national and regional Poetry Slam Champion and holds three consecutive collegiate poetry slam titles at the University of New Mexico. His poetry has been published in numerous anthologies across the globe, and can be seen adorning such public spaces as the Albuquerque Convention Center, a public library, and in inner-city buses. In 2013 he was awarded the Emerging Creative Bravos Award by Creative Albuquerque and was named a W. K. Kellogg Foundation Fellow as well as a Food Justice Resident Artist at Santa Fe Art Institute in 2014. Bellamy was named “Best Poet” in the Weekly Alibi's annual Best of Burque poll every year from 2010 to 2017. His first book, SWEAR (West End Press/UNM Press) won the Tillie Olsen Award for Creative Writing from the Working Class Studies Association. He is the co-creator of the multimedia Hip Hop theater production Urban Verbs: Hip-Hop Conservatory & Theater that has been staged throughout the country. He facilitates youth writing workshops for schools, jails, churches, prisons and community organizations in New Mexico and beyond. _______________________________________________________________ Traditional native flute music by Orlando Secatero from Pathways CD.Liberty song by Ron Crowder, Jim Casey and Danny Casey _______________________________________________________________ The opinions of our host and guests do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Ecology Prime management.

The nation appears to be on the brink of civil war, if not already in it. With polarization as bad as at any time in our nation's history, how can we stop the violence? Discussions about “law and order” ordinarily end up promoting division and triggering historical trauma. Is there a way to stop the cycle of violence and heal victims and perpetrators alike? Can the truth set us free? If so, how do we go about telling the story? And who gets to tell it? As challenging as this time is, with the underbelly of America exposed, there is also an opportunity to see America as it really is. The first step in changing anything is to see it for what it is and then to create a new story that acknowledges the truth and envisions a better future. One obstacle to change is that systemic racism is not always easy to see, or understand. It is both complicated and deeply enmeshed in the American psyche. It is not a black and white issue (in more ways than one). Structural racism affects everyone, and prevents America from achieving its sacred purpose: unity in diversity. This purpose is enshrined in our Great Seal: E Pluribus Unum, “Out of the many, one”—a beautiful idea, but one that has yet to be realized. There is some good news today. More and more people of all colors are coming together to speak out against racism. The other good news is that white Americans are beginning to change their thinking, and in a compressed time frame. Just months ago, two-thirds of white Americans thought that police mistreatment of people of color was only “a few bad apples.” Now, more than half of white Americans recognize that there is systemic racism in police enforcement. As volatile and ugly as today is, more people see the need for change. Many unanswered questions remain. Now that white America is beginning to see the extent of systemic racism, how many will act for change and how many will seek to hold onto their privilege? Who will win the next election and how much effect will that have? In a representational republic, politicians are always a reflection of the people. Is this the time we finally make real progress? Join us as we delve into all of this with our guests Oscar Edwards and David Boje. “When we share all our stories, they are all stories, it's like water, it's one, and it can flow like water. Right now we lack the collective wisdom to do that. Even though (our stories) come from different streams, it is one source.” ~ Oscar Edwards “Why are we doing true storytelling? Because I discovered I grew up in a false history, a false narrative, of what is going on in America, and in the world” ~ David Boje Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

Boje is Winner of the New Mexico State University Distinguished Career Award, and currently holds NMSU's highest rank as Regents Professor. He also was awarded an honorary doctorate from Aalborg University in Denmark, where he is considered the “godfather” of their Material Storytelling Lab. _______________________________________________________________ Traditional native flute music by Orlando Secatero from Pathways CD.Liberty song by Ron Crowder, Jim Casey and Danny Casey Feature image credit: Charmain Hurlbut, CCO Public Domain The post True Storytelling and the Legacy of Law and Order appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
Under colonization, traditional forms of inclusive, consensus-based Native American governance were systematically replaced with Western forms of centralized, top-down leadership. Women, who once held an integral role in the political processes of many tribal nations, were pushed out or marginalized. Then, LaDonna Harris came along. Working with Indian societies to restore self-determination, and working with the federal government to improve the efficacy of tribal sovereignty, Harris has done much to revitalize traditional modes of tribal leadership, including for women. Harris would be the first to deflect credit away from herself, because all her work has been rooted in collaboration and any success she has achieved is because of the kinds of people she has brought together. Her work has been a model for inclusive, participatory leadership. And that model of leadership is what we will be talking about on this podcast edition of Circle for Original Thinking. In working within and between tribes, and between tribes and the federal government, Harris has effectively collaborated with non-Natives, gaining support for important causes, beginning with her husband, Fred R. Harris, a powerful senator from Oklahoma in the 1960s and 1970s, who was chairman of the Democratic National Committee in the late 60s and a candidate for the presidency in the 1970s. LaDonna Harris went on to recruit many non-Native allies and to mentor them in Indian ways of leadership that are not only effective for Indian causes, but could be effectively utilized in mainstream politics. Harris first met political scientist and author Stephen Sachs in 1990. Sachs was invited to her home after a political gathering and found her warmth and hospitality so intoxicating that he found it nearly impossible to leave. Reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains from Casablanca, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship—and also the beginning of a beautiful collaboration on a wide range of issues pertaining to traditional Native American ways of building respectful relationships and its potential application to contemporary political and social issues. Join us as we explore Native American leadership and the art of collaboration with LaDonna Harris and Stephen Sachs. “The dictionary definition of leadership is ‘a person who has control over others.' That's not right…Leadership is about bringing people together so they can solve problems … then reinforcing their identity so they feel strong enough about themselves so they (the group) can make their own decisions in a collective manner” ~ LaDonna Harris _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently the director of a grass-roots think tank, the Circle for Original Thinking and is debuting this podcast series of the same name in conjunction with Ecology Prime. He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Stephen Sachs is an applied philosopher and Professor Emeritus of Political Science, (Indiana University-Perdue University-Indianapolis) who has worked on American Indian and International Indigenous Issues since 1984 as well as other issues of participatory democracy. In 1990 he connected with LaDonna Harris, who became his friend, mentor, thinking partner and collaborator on many of the issues he was working upon, as well as his writing about them. With guidance from Harris as elder and editor/mentor, Sachs was the lead writer and coordinating editor for the book Recreating the Circle: The Renewal of American Indian Self-Determination (University of New Mexico Press, 2011, reprinted in 2020). This work was a holistic consideration of returning Indian Nations to effective sovereignty, self-sufficiency and harmony, which was the forerunner of the new book Honoring the Circle: Ongoing Learning from American Indians on Politics and Society, a collaboration with 12 different writers including Donald Grinde, Bruce Johansen, Sally Roesch Wagner, Betty Booth Donohoe, et al) soon to be released by Waterside Publications. Sachs has also been the first Coordinating Editor and now Senior Editor of the journal Indigenous Policy for 20 years, and has been the Coordinating Editor of the Nonviolent Change journal for 39 years, and he was the Coordinating Editor and Senior Editor of Workplace Democracy for about 20 years. Sachs received his MA and PhD in Political Science at the University of Chicago. In the 1980s, he began to be pulled into certain American Indian spiritual ways and ceremonies. This and other cross-cultural interests led to his meeting with Harris and their continuing collaboration. LaDonna Harris has been a catalyst in the development of Indian affairs for the past five decades. Her career began in her native state of Oklahoma, where in 1965, she brought together over 500 Native Americans from across the state to address the salient issues in their communities. Out of that seminal meeting, Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity (OIO) was formed and Harris was elected president along with 41 directors that read like a roll call of Oklahoma tribes. In the Johnson administration of the 1960s, Harris, working sometimes with her husband Senator Fred Harris, and also with a group of American Indian leaders, many of them women, became a prominent presence on the national political scene. In 1968, she got President Johnson to agree to establish the National Council on Indian Opportunity, of which the main purpose was to shift American Indian politics toward representative input from Indian Nations. After Johnson decided not to run for reelection, Harris continued to work successfully with the incoming Nixon administration, partnering with Native leaders such as Ada Deer (Menominee), Pat Locke (Yankton Sioux), and Alma Patterson (Tuscarora), among many others. She and her partners succeeded in keeping Indian issues on the national political agenda from the 1960s to the 1990s. Among a long list of accomplishments, they succeeded in returning Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo people, formed the Council of Energy Resources Tribes (CERT) to empower tribal nations to take control of their energy resources, and worked with the EPA to give input to Native nations in helping establish their own environmental policies. The key factor in Harris' success has always been her ability to bring together the right people and representatives from virtually all positions to talk through any given issue, help the parties understand each other's concerns, and reach consensus on a policy proposal. Her most overarching accomplishment may have been her concerted effort to develop true government to government relations between the tribes and federal, state, and local governments and agencies. Although much work remains to be done, Harris efforts have had an undeniably lasting impact. Nearly every initiative that has improved relations between Indian nations and the federal government since 1968 was previously advocated by Harris. In 1979, Ladies Home Journal named Harris as both Woman of the Year and Woman of the Decade, heralding her leadership and activism for overcoming inequalities imposed upon Native peoples. Since leaving Washington in the 1990s and moving to New Mexico, Harris main work has been with Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), an organization she founded in the 1970s. While she remains president of AIO, her daughter Laura Harris took over the position of Executive Director nearly twenty years ago, carrying on their mission to advance the cultural, political, and economic rights of Indigenous peoples in the United States and around the world. _______________________________________________________________ Traditional native flute music by Orlando Secatero from Pathways CD.Liberty song by Ron Crowder, Jim Casey and Danny Casey _______________________________________________________________ Feature image photo credit: Jackson David via Pixabay The post Native American Leadership and the Art of Collaboration appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.
Since tie immemorial, people have been telling stories. Storytelling has served as a way of building coherent, cohesive community. It is also a way to pass down wisdom from earlier generations for the benefit of future generations. The wisdom of storytelling could be applied to today's ecological challenges, such as climate change. But this has not occurred often enough. Ever since the invention of the printing press, the written word has rapidly eclipsed the voice of oral tradition— similarly, truth-telling, once the function of stories, has been largely usurped by modern science. Of course, oral storytelling has never gone away, and it continues to thrive even as it has shape-shifted into other forms, such as film, theatre, dance, hip hop, and spoken-word poetry. When it comes to climate change, there has been a rush to rely on modern science. Science is the accepted means for predicting and controlling the weather. But the discipline of climate science has a very short history. We have been only recording daily temperatures for less than a century-and-a-half. The oral tradition, on the other hand, has been recording changes to the climate for millennia. Virtually all cultures have flood stories that date back to the ending of the last Ice Age. Some stories date back to the Stone Age. Moreover, stories have long provided a means for living in harmony with all our relations. They teach not only by telling us what to do, but what not to do. We can learn from everyone and every creature—even if the only thing we learn is how to identify a bad example. During times of crises, the perennial wisdom of storytelling is needed more than ever. How can storytelling augment the work of climate science in understanding what is unfolding today? How can traditional stories provide the larger wisdom we need to reset our imbalance with the natural world? Join us as we explore the continuing relevance of storytelling today, with our guest storytellers Regina Ress and Valentina Ortiz. “We are hard-wired for story. We listen to story and parts of our brain light up…” ~ Regina Ress ________________________________ “The wisdom is in the old stories.

In honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing, we do not have any guests on the program. Instead, Glenn Aparicio Parry offers his personal reflections on RBG in the context of American history and what he sees as America's sacred purpose: unity in diversity, a purpose yet to be realized. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg was Jewish but she was also catholic with a small “c.” She was a Universalist. She represented the universal good in human beings. And if she were Catholic, I believe she would be canonized. I also believe her legacy will not be polarization because Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be active in the spirit world. She will appear in people's dreams and visions. She will have an impact on events yet to unfold.” ~ Glenn Aparicio Parry _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

To recreate a whole and sacred America, it is important to piece together the forgotten fragments of history that are currently keeping the country divided. The most significant forgotten piece is the profound effect Native America had on the founding values of this nation. Join Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation, author of Exiled in the Land of the Free: Democracy, Indian Nations, and the US Constitution, and Bruce Johansen, author of Forgotten Founders: How the American Indian Helped Shape Democracy, for a scintillating peak into the true history of America. Dear listener, due to some noise on the phone lines, the sound quality on this episode has been somewhat compromised. We hope this will not prevent you from enjoying this fascination discussion. “It's about time that people in our country woke up to who was doing what to whom.” ~Bruce Johansen “The American public has been deliberately kept ignorant of the real history of this nation…Let's have a real talk, not an I'm sorry talk. That doesn't cut it. How do you reconcile that the greatest genocide at the time took place right here on this continent after Columbus arrived” ~ Oren Lyons Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Oren Lyons is Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga nation, and his history as an advocate for Indigenous and environmental justice goes back to the Red Power movement of the 1960s. Oren went on to become a leader in Native American right movements in the 1970s, including his important role in the Trail of Broken Treaties caravan which marched on Washington in 1972. He helped establish the United Nations working group on Indigenous rights and is the recipient of many honors, including the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the National Audubon Society's Audubon medal, The Earth Day International Award of the United Nations, and the Elder and Wiser Award from the Rosa Parks Institute for Human Rights. Oren served as Professor of American Studies and Director of the Native American Studies program at the State University of New York-Buffalo for more than three decades. He has authored many books and articles, and was the editor for Exiled in the Land of the Free, a 1992 book that made the case for the influence of the ideas and values of the Iroquois Confederacy on American democracy and the Constitution. Bruce E. Johansen is a Frederick W. Kayser Research Professor emeritus of Communication and Native American Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In the late 1970s, Bruce wrote his doctoral dissertation on the influence of Native America on the founding of the United States. This research would lead to the publication of Forgotten Founders (Harvard Common Press, 1982). He has since authored dozens of books, including Global Warming in the 21st Century (Praeger, 2006), The Global Warming Desk Reference (Greenwood Press, 2001), The Dirty Dozen: Toxic Chemicals and the Earth's Future (Praeger, 2003), Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Issues (Greenwood Press, 2003), and Silenced!

Native Americans not only influenced the founding fathers, they also inspired the ‘founding mothers': 19th century women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Matilda Gage. These women paid taxes but could not vote, could not run for office, had no right of divorce, and should they separate from their husband, were returned to them by police like runaway slaves. Native women, on the other hand, were fully equal in their society and played an integral role in political affairs and in keeping harmony with nature.

To recreate a whole and sacred America, it is important to piece together the forgotten fragments of history that are currently keeping the country divided. The most significant forgotten piece is the profound effect Native America had on the founding values of this nation. Join Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation, author of Exiled in the Land of the Free: Democracy, Indian Nations, and the US Constitution, and Bruce Johansen, author of Forgotten Founders: How the American Indian Helped Shape Democracy, for a scintillating peak into the true history of America. “It's about time that people in our country woke up to who was doing what to whom.” ~Bruce Johansen “The American public has been deliberately kept ignorant of the real history of this nation…Let's have a real talk, not an I'm sorry talk. That doesn't cut it. How do you reconcile that the greatest genocide at the time took place right here on this continent after Columbus arrived” ~ Oren Lyons Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Oren Lyons is Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga nation, and his history as an advocate for Indigenous and environmental justice goes back to the Red Power movement of the 1960s. Oren went on to become a leader in Native American right movements in the 1970s, including his important role in the Trail of Broken Treaties caravan which marched on Washington in 1972. He helped establish the United Nations working group on Indigenous rights and is the recipient of many honors, including the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the National Audubon Society's Audubon medal, The Earth Day International Award of the United Nations, and the Elder and Wiser Award from the Rosa Parks Institute for Human Rights. Oren served as Professor of American Studies and Director of the Native American Studies program at the State University of New York-Buffalo for more than three decades. He has authored many books and articles, and was the editor for Exiled in the Land of the Free, a 1992 book that made the case for the influence of the ideas and values of the Iroquois Confederacy on American democracy and the Constitution. Bruce E. Johansen is a Frederick W. Kayser Research Professor emeritus of Communication and Native American Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In the late 1970s, Bruce wrote his doctoral dissertation on the influence of Native America on the founding of the United States. This research would lead to the publication of Forgotten Founders (Harvard Common Press, 1982). He has since authored dozens of books, including Global Warming in the 21st Century (Praeger, 2006), The Global Warming Desk Reference (Greenwood Press, 2001), The Dirty Dozen: Toxic Chemicals and the Earth's Future (Praeger, 2003), Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Issues (Greenwood Press, 2003), and Silenced! Academic Freedom, Scientific Inquiry, and the First Amendment under Siege in America (Praeger, 2007) and Exemplar of Liberty: Native America and the Evolution of Democracy (co-authored with Donald Grinde; UCLA American Indian Studies Center, 1991) Exemplar of Liberty made such a strong impression on Bill Clinton that the President bought 535 copies of the book and distributed one to every member of Congress. The book is now out of print but available for free on line.

The problem with modern politics is that it excludes nature in its planning. Then, nature imposes her will—as she is doing now with the COVID-19 outbreak. What is the message and the learning in the emergence of the virus at this time? The spiritual elders of Colombia, the Mamos, are some of the few people who address the underlying causes to today's crisis. What does the virus mean not just in terms of the survival of the human species, but for all of nature? Mamo Daiwiku will be joined by Dr. Amanda Bernal-Carlo, a biologist who works closely with the Mamos, and Susan Kaiulani Stanton (Haudenosaunee/Native Hawaiian), founder of Grandmothers Circle the Earth Foundation, for an enlightening big picture overview.

His name is Jim Casey. Mr. Casey had a successful career of 32 years in law enforcement culminating in his assignment as the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Jacksonville Field Office from 2008-2012. There he led a staff of approximately 250 special agents, task force officers and analysts directing all FBI investigations in a forty-county area of North Florida. These included matters in counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber, public corruption, corporate fraud, and human and technical intelligence. During his 25 years with the FBI, Mr. Casey also served in the FBI’s Detroit, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati Field Offices, as well as two tours at FBI Headquarters, in positions of increasing responsibility. Most of his assignments were in counterterrorism and national security matters, and in 2001 while testifying at a special Scottish Court sitting in the Netherlands in the trial of two terrorists charged with blowing up Pan Am 103, it was stipulated he was an expert witness in counterterrorism.
