“We just need to be better; or we need to be kinder to each other.” When the world is in turmoil, how do you stay grounded? We talked with Matt Remle (Hunkpapa Lakota from Standing Rock Sioux Reservation) about how his Lakota teachings, guidance from his elders, and even his name guides his actions and how he shows up in the world.

Martin Friedman and Matt Remle return in this week's podcast to continue their discussion on the concept of a new man from an indigenous perspective. Matt begins with telling us about his childhood, and what it was like having a white father. He explains that he was very lucky to grow up in a family that accepted help. Matt's father understood how important it was for Matt to learn about his indigenous identity from other native men. Matt and Martin also discuss the traditional ceremonies that are used by tribes to help individuals return to themselves. Matt describes a ceremony that focuses on taking care of yourself and fully cleansing yourself of negativity before going on to help others. It is a very interesting ceremony to hear about, and it contradicts how men are commonly socialized to not focus on their own healing. Matt explains that his idea of a new man is returning to our responsibilities. The thought of a new man feels like it is just now appearing, however after hearing Matt's story we hope you realize it has always been there. www.soulfocusedgroup.com

In this week's episode, you will hear the indigenous perspective on what it means to be a man. Matt Remle joins Martin Friedman this week to introduce himself, and the work he has been doing in indigenous communities. Matt begins by introducing himself in his native language. In most indigenous cultures sharing your name, family, and where you come from is natural. It shows that you accept the responsibilities that come with your name, and that you are presenting yourself correctly.Matt's childhood was a lot different than many of the men that we've had on our podcast before. Matt's father figures focused on teaching Matt the traditional values of the Native American culture. Matt's childhood consisted of learning what it meant to be a good relative and the responsibilities he has within the native community. Matt goes on to explain that their children are not taught to grow up to be men and women. He describes his tribe's process as moving from an infant to an elder. He explains that men and women in their community are taught as a collective their traditional values. Matt closes out this podcast with discussing his teen years where he was taught the traditional roles of being a Native American man. He share with the listeners that he was told his responsibilities were to protect and provide for his relatives. We are really excited to offer this new perspective to our listeners! Matt will be back next week to conclude his discussion with Martin. We hope you enjoy.www.soulfocusedgroup.com

Due in part to Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the horrific truths about what children and their families endured and the graves of the children who were murdered in the residential schools are being uncovered. The residential schools originated in the United States, which has yet to recognize their existence and what happened in them. That may be starting to change after many decades of activism to raise awareness and now an initiative by Secretary of the Interior Haaland. Clearing the FOG speaks with Matt Remle, an indigenous human rights activist about the history of the boarding schools, their purpose to enable the exploitation of resources and how they are connected into the bigger picture of genocide and colonization.

Nikkita Oliver, community organizer, attorney and Seattle Peoples Party co-founder; and Matt Remle, Lakota human rights activist, writer and community organizer, join us to dive into the importance of focusing on local budgets and how those budgets shape the politics and society around us.Sean Blackmon, the man, the legend and the host of By Any Means Necessary here on Radio Sputnik, joins us to discuss police misconduct in Washington, DC, and a new law hoping to curb racist 911 calls in San Francisco, California. On Tuesday, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors unanimously passed the Caution Against Racial and Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act, giving people the right to sue a 911 caller in civil court. "All 11 supervisors signed on to the legislation, guaranteeing its passage," the Associated Press reported Tuesday. "Other places have moved to make placing racist 911 calls a hate crime. California’s governor recently signed a measure making the crime a misdemeanor punishable by jail time and a fine. New York approved legislation allowing the victims of racist 911 calls to sue." Will this slow down white people from calling the cops?Lee Camp, comedian, activist, journalist, host of the show “Redacted Tonight” on RT America and author of the recent book “Bullet Points and Punch Lines,” joins us to discuss the recent news that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is vetting Republicans - surprise, surprise - for his Cabinet. GOP names floating around include former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, former Ohio Governor John Kasich, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and former Pennsylvania Congressman Charlie Dent. Is this just for show, or should we fully expect Biden to try to put together some sort of “team of rivals” to show that he’s a uniter, in the event that he wins?

Wes is in the big chair tonight with Gyasi and Minty out of commission, and he's brought Matt Remle of Last Real Indians in to talk about the victory Matt helped win to get Licton Springs declared a landmark and how reclaiming sacred spaces and introducing younger generations of Natives to their stories and histories is happening, right now!

Activists Angelica Chazaro, Matt Remle, Rashad Barber and Kelsen Caldwell share their different methods and fields of activism, ranging from community-based organizing to working within non-profits. They challenge the notion of scarcity and the battle for resources, acknowledging money is not the only valuable form of resource, but community collaboration can take an effort farther than imagined. The guests speak about their visions for change and describe hope as a discipline and encourage the belief that every person can contribute value to activist efforts. Life provides the skills to create positive transformations within one’s communities.

Gyasi and Wes are joined by Last Real Indians' Matt Remle and force of nature Rabecca Nagle to talk about Liz Warren, Native internal politics, media representation and controlling the narrative! It's a deep dive into how Natives can take control of their stories and their future.

Gyasi Ross sits down with Minty Longearth and Matt Remle to talk relations. What does family mean? What does community mean? How are these relations fluid? How do Natives see each other? Dope and deep, we're proud of this one.

The gang is back with part 2 of the identity conversation and joined by a couple of special guests, activist Matt Remle and Rachel Heaton to discuss how we talk about ourselves, the contexts we change that in and what that means to us as a people.

Gyasi and the crew welcome organizer, visionary and solid human being Matt Remle from Last Real Indians back to the show, for a discussion that ranges from an RIP for Steve Reevis, Bear Ears, Trump fatigue, Native woman whooping ass, Code Talkers debacle, divestment as a strategy and a few other things. It's dope. You need this in your life.

The science is clear that no new fossil fuel infrastructure can be built. People around the world are taking it upon themselves to stop fossil fuel projects. The Sacred Stone Camp was created by the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Nations on April 1, 2016 to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which would carry Bakken oil through four states. The DAPL could contaminate the Missouri River, as well as the land and other aquifers. Construction of the pipeline is destroying sacred sites and wildlife habitat. Matt Remle will speak with us about resistance to the pipeline and what people can do to support the efforts. We must also build alternatives to meet our needs for energy and transportation. Bill Moyer and Steve Chrismer have been working together on a project that they call Solutionary Rail. They envision rebuilding the rail system to run on electricity created through renewable sources to carry goods and passengers. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

Monday, October 13, is celebrated in many places around the United States as Columbus Day after Christopher Columbus. In school, most American students are taught that Columbus discovered the ‘New World’ and are not taught that not only is this false but also aren’t taught about the horrors that he and others during that time inflicted on the Indigenous population. This is starting to change as awareness grows about the United States’ true history. Seattle recently voted to celebrate Indigenous Peoples on Oct. 13 and Bellingham, WA is planning a similar vote. We will speak about the true legacy of Columbus and the movement for a national day to celebrate our Indigenous Heritage. Our guest will be Matt Remle who has been engaged in community organizing for two decades around environmental and economic justice, Indigenous sovereignty and Tribal Rights.
