Die Verfassung regelt die politische und rechtliche Grundordnung der USA – ist aber auch über 200 Jahre alt. Wie kann man ein so altes Dokument auf die moderne Rechtsprechung anwenden? Diese Frage sorgt in den USA für eine Spaltung in zwei Denkschulen – die zum Beispiel im Fall von Jamie aufeinander treffen. Tong-Jin und Ciani blicken in dieser Folge auf die Entstehungsgeschichte der Verfassung. Und auf ihre Stärken, Schwächen und Widersprüchlichkeiten. Letztere zeigen sich zum Beispiel in einem Sorgerechtsstreit, der – so die Auffassung mancher – die Souveränität eines indigenen Volkes bedrohen könnte.

Daniel P. Sheehan's career spans nearly 5 decades, beginning with his training in Harvard's College, Law School, and Divinity School. Early on, he co-founded Roxbury Summer and later played a pivotal role in the Pentagon Papers case, defending civil and 1st Amendment rights. Serving as General Counsel to the United States Jesuit Order's National Office of Social Ministry significantly shaped Sheehan's advocacy, blending legal expertise with ethical commitment. His legal prowess was further demonstrated in high-profile cases like Karen Silkwood's, which set a precedent in nuclear regulation, and the defense of Attica Prison inmates and New York Black Panther Party members, emphasizing his commitment to justice and civil rights.Sheehan's work extended into exploring extraterrestrial intelligence as Special Counsel for a Library of Congress inquiry initiated by President Jimmy Carter, culminating in a key seminar for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists. His expertise led to roles as General Counsel for The Disclosure Project and the Institute for Cooperation in Space, advocating against space-based weapons and for transparency regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence.Notably, Sheehan defended Dr. John Mack, a Harvard Medical School professor, securing his academic freedom to research alien abduction. Today, he leads the Romero Institute and the Lakota People's Law Project. He's the Director of the New Paradigm Institute, advocating through education, litigation and research for full disclosure of UFO/ET phenomenon that's been kept from Americans by congress and the military/intelligence/aerospace industry complex.Teaching at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Sheehan continues to influence legal, ethical, and extraterrestrial discourse.In this episode, Danny and Faust cover the UFO cover up, including:-What classified evidence of ETs, UFOs, and reverse-engineered craft is the government hiding?-Is the military-industrial complex covering up the weaponization of alien technology?-What did the recent whistleblower testimony before congress reveal about UFOs?-Did President Jimmy Carter get information about extraterrestrial activity & technology?-Why was Harvard Professor John Mack persecuted for researching UFOs & ETs?-How can the American people reclaim the United States from the national security state?-Did the creation of US corporations under law trigger the destruction of America?-What was Brown Brothers Harriman, and how is this shady institution related to the Bush family?-What was the Malmstrom AFB missile incident of 1967?-Did a newspaper photograph from Roswell prove that the Army knew the UFO was not a weather balloon?-Have US Congress members been shown evidence of UFOs & extraterrestrials?-Is there evidence that Project Blue Book proved the existence of ETs, UFOs & reverse engineered aircraft?-What has footage from former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent whistleblower Luis Elizondo revealed about the existence of UFOs?-What evidence has Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Intelligence, revealed about reverse-engineered alien aircraft?…and much more. Stay tuned till the end, when Danny shares why it's so vitally important to immediately disclose all the information that the military-industrial complex has been hiding for far too long.Connect with Daniel SheehanWebsite: https://www.danielpsheehan.com/X: https://twitter.com/danielsheehan45YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielSheehanEsqFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/danielpetersheehanNew Paradigm InstituteWebsite: https://newparadigminstitute.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newparadigminstitute/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newparadigminst/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NewParadigmInstituteX: ht

In the lead-up to our season on the criminalization of protest we're bringing you part 1 of this excellent two-part Outside/In episode looking at this issue in the U.S. When members of the Oceti Sakowin gathered near the Standing Rock Reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, they decided on a strategy of nonviolent direct action. No violence… against people. But sabotage of property – well, that's another question entirely.  Since the gathering at Standing Rock, anti-protest legislation backed by the fossil fuel industry has swept across the country. What happened? When is environmental protest considered acceptable… and when is it seen as a threat?  This is the first of two episodes exploring the changing landscape of environmental protest in the United States, from Standing Rock to Cop City and beyond. Part II is available on Outside/In wherever you get your podcasts Featuring Chase Iron Eyes, Tokata Iron Eyes, Lesley Wood, Elly Page, and Connor Gibson. Special thanks to Phyllis Young and everyone at the Lakota People's Law Project, especially Daniel Nelson and Jesse Phelps. Thanks also to Soundings Mindful Media. Learn more about your ad choices.

Immerse yourself in a profound exploration of reason and tradition in the 8th episode of Reviving Virtue, where we have the privilege of hosting Dr. Jeffery Nicholas, a renowned philosophy professor from Providence College and the insightful author of 'Reason, Tradition, and the Good: MacIntyre's Tradition-Constituted Reason and Frankfurt School Critical Theory'. Dr. Nicholas brings a wealth of understanding as we delve into the world of substantive reason, a form of reason brimming with content, standards, and ideas about what's good, guiding us to contemplate our societal goals and aspirations. We juxtapose our established Enlightenment-based understanding of knowledge with the epistemologies of indigenous cultures such as the Lakota people, bringing forth the richness of their worldviews. The episode culminates in an engaging discussion on the transformative potential of education, and how it can foster understanding, critique, and catalyze change within our traditions. Join us in this episode as we seek to articulate new moral narratives that can reshape our time.Topics: Substantive Reason Tradition-Constituted Reason Indigenous Epistemologies Enlightenment Instrumental Reason Role of Education Knowledge Transmission Moral Narratives Cultural Worldviews The Influence of Technology Pragmatism John Dewey's Education PhilosophyBook recommendations:Book recommendations: "Reason, Tradition, and the Good: MacIntyre's Tradition-Constituted Reason and Frankfurt School Critical Theory" by Dr. Jeffery Nicholas “Love and Politics: Persistent Human Desires as a Foundation for Liberation” by Dr. Jeffery Nicholas "Dependent Rational Animals" by Alasdair McIntyre "Beast and Man" by Mary MidgleyDetails: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-S-86YcDfV94_u2i1qlYbQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reviving_Virtue Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/RevivingVirtue Contact: revivingvirtue@gmail.com Music by Jeffrey Anthony: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Q9wJCeuUa3wrHrKKtsTFW?si=NeyPJ-dzRBeWfHhYDPgvvw

As Native American History Month comes to an end, we wanted to cover an incredible indigenous woman, Madonna Thunder Hawk. Madonna Thunder Hawk is a Native American civil rights activist. She is known for her leadership in the American Indian Movement (or AIM) and for her organization work against the Dakota Access Pipeline among other things. In this episode, we look at her work as an activist, protester, and reformer for Native American Rights and the motivations and controversies surrounding some of her involvement in various occupations. Then we dig a little deeper and consider how her advocacy work has helped preserve and improve the lives of Native women and children in particular. Finally we wrap up with some of the film, television, and books that include Thunder Hawk, mention her ongoing projects, and share a little advice from her to young Native people.   Follow the podcast: Twitter: @BigRepPod Instagram: @BigReputationsPod   Become a Patreon supporter: patreon.com/bigreputationspod   Merch: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/86669619 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hosts: Kimberly Kunkle and Rebecca L.

Working with a group of over fifty students at the Little Wound School in Kyle, South Dakota, Mark Hetzel collected countless hours of oral history interviews with Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Mark and his students then turned those interviews into a 7-part audio series that attempts to piece together the long and complicated story of the Lakota oyate, or nation, through the voices of local elders and community members. These are available in the form of a podcast called the “Heart of All Oral History Project.” As Mark's students write on the Heart of All website, “We see this project as an opportunity to finally tell our own story, to set the record straight, and to be reminded, by our own relatives, where we came from and who we really are.” Framed as a conversation between community elders and students at the Little Wound School, the podcast series reflects the oral storytelling tradition that represents how Lakota people traditionally passed their knowledge from one generation to the next. But this process was interrupted by the US Federal Government's assimilationist policies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, which punished Lakota people from speaking their language or practicing their traditional culture in boarding schools and other institutions of settler colonialism. By providing a space for Lakota people to tell their own history in their own voices, this oral history project thus represents a profound statement of Indigenous sovereignty and Lakota resistance to the epistemic imperialism of the United States. It is also a rich resource for non-Native people who are interested to learn more about the violent history of settler colonialism, the immense courage and steadfast resilience of Lakota people, as well as the beauty, creativity, and humor that characterizes Lakota culture.

November 10, 2022--Host Chris Skyhawk speaks with Co-director and Lead Counsel of the Lakota People's Law Project, Chase Iron Eyes about the Indian Child Welfare Act. Followed by a speech by John Trudell.

In February 2022, Stuart and William, co-hosts of the well-established The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, launched the new mini-series 'Indigenous Voices'. For this next instalment, they were joined by Chase Iron Eyes for an interesting conversation, when they revisited a listener question from Adriana in The Netherlands, which was originally discussed in this podcast episode Direct Action, Does It Work? Chase Iron Eyes is an American Indian activist, attorney, politician, and a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He is a member of the Lakota People's Law Project, and a co-founder of the Native American news website, Last Real Indians https://lastrealindians.com/. Chase talks about the systems of law, economy, government, media, all being designed, and these systems are framed to protect capital and property. He explores with us how corporations can destroy a river, but seemingly not face the ramifications, together with telling us about the history of his people, how they've been labelled as barbarians and heathens. He talks of the defence of Mother Earth and how we have it within ourselves to avert this climate crisis. To continue this new mini-series (Indigenous Voices), the question put to Chase was, "Does direct action get anyone, anywhere?" with a subtle extra question of whether Chase has any examples, from personal experience, of what doors have been opened, or closed due to direct action? More episodes in the Indigenous Voices mini-series will be recorded in due course with Chase and others, often only available to watch/listen by our Indigenous Champion support tier backers, on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thepeoplescountryside You don't need to be an expert in the subject matter or in indigenous cultures to enjoy our new mini-series. Just a willingness to explore the unknown, the hard truths, the indigenous viewpoint, and see where it takes us. What can we learn from them and what can they learn from us? What can we learn from each other? Join us then for this interesting, and often philosophical episode of the podcast. You'll likely need to watch/listen to this more than once, as there's so much in there, and much learning to be gleaned from Chase's wise words.

My guests for this episode are Kristin and Ted Skantze, joining me from shores of Lake Michigan.  Ted is the former director of the non-profit organization Re-Member and former director of their board, and Kristin is a Nurse Practitioner who has worked for the past 20 years with Pine Ridge Indian Health Service on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in South Dakota.  They share their personal story of their involvement on the reservation, and discuss the impact around cultural understanding, and the importance of listening in helping to heal broken relationships and build connections and bring to attention to the truly resilient spirit of the indigenous people.  The term, Re-Member, refers to the idea of putting back together that which is broken, to re-member.  What has been broken is a trust, and the treatment and relationship with the Oglala Lakota people.  Through the work of Re-Member, volunteers have the opportunity to learn, and listen, and offer hope to those who have been marginalized, through relationship building and cultural understanding.  Rather than attempting to fix or change what those from outside the culture perceive needs to be changed, the focus is on understanding and appreciating the diversity of cultures.  I am reminded of the work of Edgar Schein, who developed the concept of Process Consultancy, which is built upon the foundation that assumes that “one can only help a human system to help itself”.  To learn more about volunteer opportunities with Re-Member, check out this link:  https://www.re-member.org/volunteering 

Stuart James is a hip hop artist born & raised in Saint Michael on the Spirit Lake Reservation in North Dakota. Hip hop has always been a voice for the oppressed. Life on the reservation can be ugly & beautiful at the same time and Stuart encourages listeners to find the good in every situation regardless of how difficult life gets. Stuart is a boxing coach, community organizer & songwriter among other titles. Stuart founded the Tiwahe (Family) clothing brand & Tiwahe Day which is a family day for the youth and community of the Spirit Lake reservation.Tiwahe Day consists of a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, live music and free cookout. Stuart hopes to bring this event to more communities in the future whether it is on the reservation or not. Stuart was recently featured in a full length documentary titled Oyate, presented by Films With A Purpose in association with Irrelevant Media & Lakota People's Law Project. Oyate has been nominated for Best Film at the Big Sky Film Festival in Montana and has received the 2022 Audience Choice Award at the North Dakota Environmental Rights Film Festival in North Dakota. Stuart's music helped bring the film an interesting perspective through the form of hip hop which brought a modern voice to the documentary. In the future Stuart hopes for people on every reservation to strive for healthy and positive lives and the music is the driving force of that goal. The big picture is very important but we must also take care of ourselves before we can help anyone. "I know we want change and we want to beat the odds but we should start by cleaning up the trash in our yards". Stuart understands it is a long road to healing but as long as we make steps every day our people will start to come together and work towards a better life for our future generations.

We return to Pine Ridge to visit the grave of Joe Kills Right Stuntz, the murder site of Pedro Bissonette, and the June Little cabin on the Jumping Bull ranch with Chase Iron Eyes. Chase is an Oglala Lakota and currently serves as the co-director and lead counsel of the Lakota People's Law Project. But there's something else you should know about Chase. His personal connection to the Oglala firefight and Leonard.

Historically, the Lakota have a rich oral tradition to preserve the legends and stories that maintained their spiritual way of life. Creation stories were known only among the holy men, who passed them down through the generations. No single holy man knew all the creation myths.  Elders shared tales with young ones to preserve the culture and ensure the continuation of a people. Thomas Horse, a Lakota member,  shares the importance of traditions and language and offers prayers.   Spirituality is a vital component of traditional Lakota living.  Wakan Tanka - the Great Spirit - receives thanks for everything on Earth.  He also sings his Sundance song along with his drum. Thomas does not claim to be a spokesperson for Lakota but simply offering an opportunity to share the beautiful prayers of the Lakota.From the Archives: This live interview was recorded on January 9,  1999 on the nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Laura Lee .

Standing Rock Water Protectors: Climate Justice Showdown Still Hanging Fire Lakota Chief Chase Iron Eyes In what defense attorneys are calling a major victory for their client and for the water protectors of Standing Rock, prosecutors have dropped all serious charges against former North Dakota congressional candidate Chase Iron Eyes in his case resulting from protests of the Dakota Access pipeline. Chief Iron Eyes, an attorney who works for the Lakota People’s Law Project, was facing a maximum of six years in state prison after his arrest for alleged criminal trespass and incitement of a riot near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation on February 1, 2017. “The world should know that it’s legally impossible for me and other Native people to trespass on treaty land," stated Chief Iron Eyes. Iron Eyes’ attorneys filed documents on Monday proving that his arrest occurred on treaty land never ceded by the Sioux tribe. The state of North Dakota ruled weeks ago that this land had never been acquired nor legally owned by pipeline parent company Energy Transfer Partners (ETP). "I and the water protectors are not terrorists. We and the US veterans who stood with us to protect Mother Earth are the true patriots,” said Iron Eyes.   Romero Institute co-founder Daniel Sheehan was chief attorney on Iron Eyes’ defense team for the Lakota People’s Law Project. Lakota People's Law is an ongoing campaign of the Romero Institute, an interfaith, nonprofit law and public policy center that grew out of the Christic Institute, and which has been at the center of profoundly significant landmark legal cases for social and environmental justice since the 1980's.   Radio Planet Watch is honored to host Daniel Sheehan's son, Lakota People's Law Project Program Director Danny Paul Nelson. Nelson, who holds a BA in Political Theory from Harvard and an MA in Social Science from the University of Chicago, speaks with Planet Watch hosts Jordan and Goodman about the recent legal victory from Standing Rock, and connections between indigenous rights and climate justice. Danny Paul Nelson of Lakota People's Law Project “Our work to prepare Chase’s defense unveiled solid evidence of a racially ­motivated criminal alliance between the oil companies and the private military security industry (colluding with local, state, and federal law enforcement) to deny Native Americans and their allies their civil and treaty rights,” said Danny Paul. “Standing Rock focused the attention of the world on the importance of Native sovereignty and the needs to protect water and resist climate change. Chase’s willingness to pursue a 'necessity' defense has produced strong legal tools for future protesters.” Prior to the interview with Danny Paul on today's show, Planet Watch shared an audio clip from a just ­released video, We Are Not Terrorists. In the video, Iron Eyes and his team position their anti­-pipeline protest in the context of what they assert to be a growing threat posed to civil liberties, embodied by the rise of anti­protest legislation and the burgeoning alliance between the oil companies and the private military security industry. The video is accompanied by an open letter to President Donald Trump. Danny Paul exposes a dangerous trend has emerging in Trump's America: The administration is opening Native American reservations and national monument lands to fossil fuel extraction, and activists are being targeted by law enforcement and treated like terrorists. Currently, 20 states have passed or are considering legislation that would curtail citizen rights to protest environmental destruction and human rights violations. Moving forward, Lakota People’s Law Project Chief Counsel Daniel Sheehan and the entire team will continue to strategically confront the fossil fuel industry and their destructive agenda, which threatens our water, our planet, and the entire human family.

This week on “Rebel Hearts”: Kristie speaks with Daniel P Sheehan, a Harvard-trained attorney, who has led or participated in some of the most important public interest cases of the last 40 years. His lawsuits include the Watergate and Iran-Contra Scandals, the Pentagon Papers, and the killing of Karen Silkwood. In 1973-74, he served as amicus counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union regarding the occupation of Wounded Knee. In 1980, he co-founded the Christic Institute, a nonprofit public interest law center that—among many other cases—prosecuted members of the Ku Klux Klan in Greensboro, North Carolina, and represented victims of the Three Mile Island disaster in Pennsylvania. He is one of the small number of attorneys to be invited to join the Mni Wiconi Legal Defense and Offense Committee, along with Bruce Ellison. His autobiography, „The People’s Advocate“ was published by Counterpoint Press.    In this interview, Daniel shares about his work with Lakota People’s Law Project, starting with the drafting of the legal strategy for the federal Justice Department’s lawsuit against the State of South Dakota for its violations of the Indian Child Welfare Act. Daniel talks about how more than 700 native children are being taken away every year from their families by social services.    Daniel was present at Standing Rock during opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline. He tells us about his work as defense counsel for two water protectors facing severe charges—Chase Iron Eyes and HolyElk Lafferty. Comparing the peaceful protest at Standing Rock with the events in Mississippi and Alabama in the 1960s, he talks about the parallels that he has been witnessing with both events.    A lot of the mainstream media has been portraying the water protectors at Standing Rock as trouble makers. Find out why the private security firm Tiger Swan was hired to create false propaganda and what is behind the strategy of trying to categorize these movements as terrorism. Daniel also tells us why the Dakota Access Pipeline was rerouted and the racial discrimination connected to it, creating reports that there would be no disparate impact on any racial minority- this reports excluded the whole Sioux Nation.    Find out why Daniel calls the events at Standing Rock an "Unlawful Criminal Conspiracy" and why bringing light to these events has the ability to create a positive ripple effect across the nation.

"On December 5th, 2016 the Army Corps of Engineers has announced that they will begin evicting water protectors at Standing Rock from the Oceti Sakowin Camp. What they failed to acknowledge is that this movement is filled with passion, dedication, prayer, love, and a refusal to give up on what we all know to be right, and to be true. If you've been thinking about coming, but have hesitated, come and protect clean water. Stand with us and for mother earth. There is strength in numbers, there is strength in prayer and community, there is strength in marching with your fists open and head held high. The hearts of water protectors are the strongest and most powerful that I've ever known and it is an honor to be able to stand with them--join us." -Courtney Cronis Material rebroadcast here is from the Facebook pages: Urban Native Era Prolific the Rapper Christi Belcourt Isaac Murdoch James Uqualla' Lakota People's Law Project Emergency press conference with Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II This rebroadcasting is an attempt to allow this information to reach further than the one media forum of Facebook, to share this story in the way the water protectors creating these live broadcasts have asked us all to. To get the message out into the world, and break media blackout. We are the media. We are all connected. Not one single person can live without water, we are Standing Rock!
