Through reflection, she inspires a vision for a balanced future grounded in truth.

Join Paula Peters, citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe as she shares the historical and cultural legacy and story of the Wampanoag: the People of the First Light. She unravels common misperceptions and false narratives around the first “Thanksgiving” and the harvest of 1621 involving Native people and the first colonizers, the Pilgrims. By acknowledging what has gone before, she invites us to envision and collectively create a balanced way forward for humanity. The Wampanoag have lived in southeastern Massachusetts for more than 12,000 years. They are the tribe first encountered by Mayflower Pilgrims when they landed in Provincetown harbor and explored the eastern coast of Cape Cod and when they continued on to Patuxet (Plymouth) to establish Plymouth Colony. In 2020, America commemorated the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage and the founding of Plymouth Colony, a story that cannot be told without the perspective of the indigenous people who were here as that ship arrived and who still remain.

April is Earth Month, which is a time to reflect on the one planet we have and for a lot of us that's an opportunity to discuss climate change, and how it's affecting our communities. Throughout the month we featured weekly conversations with some of the people in Greater Boston working to build our region's resilience in the face of a changing climate. Our final guest for these Earth Month discussions is Leslie Jonas, an Indigenous land and water conservationist and an elder eel clan member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. Greater Boston's daily podcast where news and culture meet.

Two climate tracking agencies say the Earth just reached its hottest average temperature on record and scientists predict it will only get hotter. That has implications for the health and comfort of Native people coping with the heat, and for those whose livelihoods depend on specific climate conditions and access to water. We'll get perspectives from environmental health experts, farmers, and others about the risks of rising heat and what a hotter future might hold. GUESTS Duran Andrews (Tohono O'odham), farm manager at San Xavier Co-Op Farm   Dave Lawrence, meteorologist and emergency response specialist with the National Weather Service  Robert Knapp, Environmental Planning Program Manager for the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe  Nelson Andrews (Mashpee Wampanoag), tribal councilman and emergency management director for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe

Our mistreated Native American Brothers and Sisters continue to fight to be able to thrive in the present day. Special Guest Talia Landry of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, discusses the legal battle they have had to face, simply to be able to make progress on their own land. We also hear about some of the unknown history surrounding the Wampanoag, who are the Tribe from THE FIRST THANKSGIVING, how that played out and what it meant for the tribal population of the time.  The facts of the matter are that the colonizers came, destroyed, stole and now have ravaged what was never theirs to take. If America does not have it in their hearts to look to those groups to whom it owes most, then does America have a heart?  With Thanksgiving upon us once again, let's take an hour together to listen and learn with some vibes of True Attention, about the problems our Native Americans are facing today, about Land In Trust, about The Audacity some Americans have, the judicial system, and bout the history and ACTUAL legacy of The Very First Thanksgiving.  Let the Truth Be Told. The Audio Clip at the onset of this Episode is spoken by Russell Means: Oglala Lakota Activist for Native American Rights The Audio Clip at the End of this Episode is spoken by Chief Oren Lyons: Faithkeeper of The Turtle Clan, The Seneca and Onondaga Nations Here is a Link to the original video done by Talia Landry which promted me to reach out. It is highly informative, engaging and lays out the case as it stood at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAQjSa3u72E  I Thank You Deeply for spending this time with me, lending your Heart and Mind to this and many other important topics.  We can only truly understand our world, ourselves and the world we would like to see, by accumilating Wisdom through our experiences, and the experiences of others.

The family of private land-owners just donated a valuable piece of land in California to the state-recognized Gabrielino Tongva tribe. It will be a place of ceremonial gatherings and conservation. Another California tribe, the Esselen, also regained ownership of more than 1,000 acres of land for conservation. Land donations by both private individuals and government entities are putting pieces of ancestral land back into tribal hands. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks more about the importance of donations toward restoring culturally-important land with Cris Stainbrook (Lakota), president of the Indian Land Tenure Foundation; Hillary Renick (enrolled member of the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo Indians and descendant of the Hopland Shanel, Noyo River, and Ft. McDermitt Paiute-Shoshone communities), co-founder of the California Indian Land Institute; and David Weeden (Wampanoag), tribal council member and tribal historic preservation officer for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, chairman of the Mashpee Board of Selectmen, and a Cape Cod Commission member.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the verdict in one of the most important trials in recent American history: the conviction of three White Georgia men who chased down a Black man--Ahmaud Arbery--in their pickup trucks in what has been described as a modern-day lynching. Next, Joy and her panel try to determine how the Biden administration can better sell all the economic gains it has set into motion, because the American public in large part erroneously believes the economy is not doing well. Then, we discuss Kyle Rittenhouse becoming a celebrity among GOP leadership and many in the Republican electorate, and what this could mean going forward. Plus, Washington Post reporter Dana Hedgpeth and Brian Weeden, Chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, join The ReidOut on Thanksgiving being a "day of mourning" for the Indigenous community. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

He also talks about calls for reparations for Native Americans. Moskwetah Weeden is the Chair of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council. Next, we talks with listeners about whether they would become more engaged if more events were held on Zoom, post-pandemic. John King shares his thoughts on how Sens.

The U.S. Department of Interior reversed a Trump Administration decision that removed the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Tribe’s control over Missouri River mineral rights. The recent action returns tribal control that had been in place for decades. Dozens of other decisions that affected tribes during the Trump years are awaiting scrutiny, including the reduction of Bears Ears National Monument, rolling back key provisions in the National Environmental Policy Act, and worked to disestablish the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s reservation lands. We’ll look at some of the policies from the Trump Administration that tribes are working to reverse, and those they want to continue.

In 2020, during the height of COVID-19, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe was at the US Supreme Court fighting not just to survive a pandemic, but to hold onto their tribal land rights. This case, in addition to the landmark ruling of Sharp v. Murphy in July 2020, emphasizes the ongoing fight of Tribal nations for claims to parts — not even all — of their original and granted land. Yet, US political oppression against Native people is baked into the foundations of the United States, including colonization and removal of Native people from their ancestral homes, to make way for white settlerism and slavery. Over the last four hundred years these processes of control, removal, theft, and broken treaties have extended in every direction from Mississippi to Washington.In this episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht (Senior Fellow at the IARA Project of Ash Center) and Nikhil Raghuveera (Nonresident Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center) focus on Native land rights and sovereignty. Through interviews with key members of the Chickasaw Nation and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, we explore how two Tribes are fighting in the US legal system for their land and rightful recognition. Mari Halbutta and Talia Landry put into perspective recent litigation amidst a broader history of political oppression and violence. The cases reveal renewed attempts at erasure and termination of Native people, and in turn, unwavering Native organizing and resistance.Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future. Each episode features special guests and a focus on thematic areas across society. This podcast is published by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project at  Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center.Thanks to Mari Halbutta, Talia Landry, and Eric Henson.Learn More:Chickasaw Nation: https://chickasaw.net/Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe: https://mashpeewampanoagtribe-nsn.gov/Music:Beauty Flow by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5025-beauty-flowLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/She Gives Me by Moby courtesy of mobygratis.comAbout the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability ProjectThe Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project believes in working at the intersection of community, academia, and policy to address intellectual and practical questions as they relate to antiracism policy, practice, and institutional change. In order to create and sustain change, the goal of this project is to promote antiracism as a core value for organizations by critically evaluating structures and policies within institutions. The project aims to analytically examine the current field of antiracism with a lens on research and innovation, policy, dialogue, and community involvement.Our vision is to be a leader in institutional antiracism research, policy, and advocacy, and propose structural change in institutions and media centered on antiracism work in the public, private, non-profit sectors and digital space. This work will focus on researching existing organizations that conduct antiracism training and development while analyzing their effectiveness and promoting best practices in the field. Additionally, we will study the implementation of antiracism work among institutions that self-identify as antiracist and promote accountability structures in order for them to achieve their goals.About the Ash Center The Ash Center is a research center and think tank at Harvard Kennedy School focused on democracy, government innovation, and Asia public policy.

In our first-ever non-human hero episode, we talk almost exclusively about…humans. This week’s episode is all about the pilgrims, fleas, disease, and violence that arrived in America via the Mayflower. 

If you’re looking for a podcast you can use to ruin Thanksgiving, this is the one. Play it on Zoom, connect to your family’s Bluetooth speakers, or simply share in your cousins' group chat and insist they listen. One way to take action: In our ongoing efforts to provide reparations for the harm caused and systems of privilege from which we benefit, we have committed a recurring monthly donation to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, and we encourage all our followers to research and contribute to indigenous tribes and land back movements happening across the country.

Native Opinion Episode 31 “They Assume Rights That Are Not Theirs”   Reach our show: hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us voice mail: https://www.speakpipe.com/nativeopinion     Native News:   ARTICLE 1: Eastern Pequots resurrect federal recognition bid   Published June 02. 2016 7:09PM  By Brian Hallenbeck  Day staff writer Http://www.theday.com    First the news. Then the context. The news is: The Eastern Pequot Tribe has renewed its pursuit of federal recognition, a crucial status it won in a 2002 Bureau of Indian Affairs decision that was reversed three years later. In a petition sent last month to the BIA, the tribe — identifying itself as the “Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe” — asks the agency to “declare and reaffirm” its status as a “Previously Federally Acknowledged Tribe.” Summary: Taken from the article. What does this mean for The Eastern Pequot Nation? Following a lengthy overhaul of the federal-recognition process, the Interior Department adopted new regulations last year that many believed would preclude the Eastern Pequots and other tribes that had been denied recognition from resurrecting their claims. “Any petitioner that was previously denied Federal acknowledgment under this process may not re-petition,” the Interior Department announced. “This includes any petitioners that have reorganized or been renamed or that are wholly or primarily portions of groups that have been denied under these or previous acknowledgment regulations.” The Easterns’ petition, submitted by James Benny Jones Jr., a Washington, D.C.-based attorney and a member of the tribe, contends that the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe “has never previously petitioned for Federal acknowledgment as either the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe or under its constitutional government of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.” Jones did not respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. In 2002, the BIA acknowledged the Eastern Pequot Indians and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indians as one group, the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe. The state and the towns of Ledyard, North Stonington, and Preston joined a challenge of the decision, prompting the Interior Board of Indian Appeals to review it. The Interior Department announced in October 2005 that it declined to recognize the Eastern Pequots and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequots, ruling that both tribal factions failed to meet two of seven mandatory requirements for acknowledgment. The department found that the state’s recognition of the Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe did not constitute evidence that the tribe had existed as a “community” or that it had maintained “political authority and influence” over its members from historical times to the present.   Article 2:   Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts isn't worried about a lawsuit filed by casino opponents. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts isn't worried about a lawsuit filed by casino opponents. The tribe broke ground on the First Light Resort and Casino in early April. Opponents are asking a federal judge to halt construction but Chairman Cedric Cromwell said the facility is on track to open in the summer of 2017. "We do not see this lawsuit against the federal government as having any impact on our progress,' Cromwell told The Cape Cod Times. The tribe appears to be on the strong legal ground because the complaint in Littlefield v. Department of the Interior names the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the defendant. Due to sovereign immunity, the tribe cannot be sued without its consent. "In no other case has a court had to confront a sovereign tribe, put into immediate possession of trust lands, starting to construct a casino before any judicial review has occurred," attorney David Tennant, who is representing the casino opponents, said in an affidavit that was filed in support of a request to halt construction on the project. The BIA approved the land-into-trust application for the casino last fall and the land was declared a reservation in January. Summary: Once again, the attempts to halt Native progress is in full swing. It does not matter if it is wearing an Eagle feather at a graduation, or a project that will help Natives become, or stay self-sufficient. Even though I am not a supporter of Indian gaming, and there is a good reason why I am not a supporter, the fact remains, there are forces at work that are determined to halt ANY progress Natives try to make. That has been the case since contact.   Article 3: Title: This Date in History: American Indians Gain Citizenship – June 2, 1924 BY NATIVE NEWS ONLINE STAFF / CURRENTS / 02 JUN 2016 Published June 2, 2016    Summary: Imagine that! We were made citizens in our own country! 91 years ago, Congress passed and President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, which stated “all noncitizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby declared to be, citizens of the United States: Provided that the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.”  Only a non-Native would presume and assume the right to decide the fates of those who they have no right to judge, rule, or treat less than human.   The Clintons’ Haiti Screw-Up, As Told By Hillary’s Emails The family still doesn't know how to wield its own power. By Jonathan M. Katz September 02, 2015 It’s hard to find anyone these days who looks back on the U.S.-led response to the January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake as a success, but it wasn’t always that way. Right after the disaster, even as neighborhoods lay in rubble, their people sweltering under tarps, the consensus—outside Haiti—was that America’s “compassionate invasion” (as TIME Magazine called it) had been “largely a success” (Los Angeles Times), offering further proof that “in critical moments of the history of mankind … the United States is, in fact, the indispensable nation” (Expresso, Portugal). As the latest release of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails by the U.S. State Department Monday revealed, that perception was not an accident. “We waged a very successful campaign against the negative stories concerning our involvement in Haiti,” Judith McHale, the under-secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, wrote on February 26, 2010.

The Clintons did not make an effort to assist the people of Haiti the way they led the world to believe. The Red Cross is not exempt from the lack of aid that should have been rendered to Haiti. Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes for Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In Donations.  The Clinton’s own daughter was less than enthused with what she saw happening, and even less of what should have been happening. According to, Chelsea Clinton, and I quote:     “The incompetence is mind numbing,” she told her parents. “The UN people I encountered were frequently out of touch … anachronistic in their thinking at best and arrogant and incompetent at worst.” “There is NO accountability in the UN system or international humanitarian system.” The weak Haitian government, which had lost buildings and staff in the disaster, had something of a plan, she noted. Yet because it had failed to articulate its wishes quickly enough, foreigners rushed forward with a “proliferation of ad hoc efforts by the UN and INGOs [international nongovernmental organizations] to ‘help,’ some of which have helped … some of which have hurt … and some which have not happened at all.” End quote. Is it possible the former “First daughter” is not swayed but the aroma of money and power? We can only hope.   Read more: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/hillary-clinton-email-213110#ixzz4AXrgR7Z4  Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook   Title:   Main Stream News Media delegate estimate  The media fix is in. Tuesday, June 7th, mainstream media plans to call the democratic primary over, and Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party at 8PM eastern. This is a deliberate attempt by the media to affect voter turnout in California by making people believe it isn't worth getting out to vote. You will see the media stating that Hillary Clinton only needs 70-90 votes to win. This is false because they are counting SUPER DELEGATES in those projections. They have been doing that since the beginning, and they are all wrong. Super delegates only vote AT the democratic convention in July. The media is purposefully inflating Hillary Clintons voter numbers to sway public opinion away from Bernie Sanders. The race is much closer between her and Senator Sanders. Do NOT believe what the media is telling you! California....please VOTE on Tuesday!
