Of Cree heritage, Constance Lake First Nations, Chum is a traditional hand drum singer from the age of 14. She took up pop music when her father showed up at her place one day with a guitar, and told her to learn it. “It was a hard beginning, but I was eventually able to express myself in a way that I didn’t think I could. When you’re born with a purpose it will find you no matter what. I wasn’t planning on music but music found me,” says Chum. Describing herself as ambitious, friendly, and confident, Chum has had her singing voice compared to that of Buffy Sainte-Marie and Stevie Nicks. The veracity of that comparison is evident in her current single and video, “Undone,” which examines the way bad timing can circumvent a possible romantic relationship, and how being hurt in love can prevent people from risking the prospect of loving again.

(860) 381-0207 This episode is sponsored in part by The Mohegan Trading Post… Handmade Native American jewelry and more…. see their website…www.mohegantradingpost.com Michael Kickingbear’s Native American Reservation Privatization Concept & Fear… So Anti-clean water people view this law as a states rights issue, something that Cheeto has also stated on numerous occasions during the presidential campaign. So how does this tie to Indian Country? Here is how I see this going down…. * The Trump administration’s true intentions are to make a case that reservations are (or should be) a states rights issue. * Pitch to tribes (By utilizing the so-called Native American Coalition) that government should get out of it’s way, by saying no more interference from the federal government over land in trust matters through the introduction of a house bill to pretend to revert some control of lands back to tribes, and encourage governance of lands to be compacts between tribes and states. * This action would be the start of privatization of Native American reservations. This would entice individual states to find ways to take what is now reservation land through new or pre-existing bad state laws that would push tribes off traditional homelands to gain access to these lands for oil drilling or fracking. * One example of this might be a form of imminent domain, citing a justification that “it’s in the best interest of all residents of the state” and offer ridiculously low amounts of money for the land to the tribe(s) * Those lands would/could then be sold by the state to energy companies, which of course fits in with the Trump Administration’s “America First” energy plan.   Audience Homework… You Want to make your voice heard in Washington DC, but Trump shut down the White House comment line….soooo what do you do?

(860) 381-0207   Episode Description:   The Thanksgiving holiday was recently celebrated in the United States. We ask the question, what does the holiday mean to you?  Most Americans truly do not know the origin of thanksgiving, or the “story” of how it all got started. On this episode of Native Opinion, we present the true story of Thanksgiving. The one that American schools refuse to teach to students. The story that most American's denied or ignore because it isn’t a happy tale of happy pilgrims and Indigenous people celebrating life over a meal.  Join hosts Michael Kickingbear and David Grey Owl as they present the true historical account of the thanksgiving holiday most simply refuse to accept. There is also an update on the Dakota Access pipeline, and listener feedback.     Resources from this episode:   TITLE: Native American Museums in the Northeast by Kyle Armstrong • April 14, 2015 SOURCE: http://campuspress.yale.edu/yipp/native-american-museums-in-the-northeast/   TITLE: The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center SOURCE: http://www.pequotmuseum.org   TITLE: Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on Thanksgiving: "It Has Never Been About Honoring Native Americans" STORY NOVEMBER 23, 2016 SOURCE: https://www.democracynow.org/2016/11/23/historian_roxanne_dunbar_ortiz_on_thanksgiving   TITLE: Veterans prepare to join Standing Rock protesters to stop Dakota Access Pipeline Zach Cartwright | November 22, 2016  SOURCE: https://usuncut.com/resistance/veterans-plan-protest-support-standing-rock/   Music:   Track: “Wind Jammin” Artist: Jan Michael Lookingwolf Website: www.lookingwolf.com

(860) 381-0207 Summary: This is episode 52 of Native Opinion, and it marks our one year anniversary since starting our show! In this episode entitled “How Much Would You Pay” Hosts David Greyowl and Michael Kickingbear look at two aspects of the fight around water: 1.) What price will we pay if ground water is poisoned due to oil pipes leaking? When can you no longer trust the water that comes out of your faucets? Where will you go to get water? The Oil Company that caused the problem? Somewhere else? Native American Tribes and allies are fighting hard so that you will still have the right to clean free drinking water. The situation in Standing rock is an example of what extent an Oil Company will go to protect their profits, including violating constitutional rights, Endless treaty violations, and the hiring of Local off-duty law enforcement officers to be complicit in these crimes. 2.) Hour two starts a new series on Native Opinion which takes a hard look at the Nestle company, the largest bottling company in the world. If all available natural drinking water is under the control of a multi-national company like Nestle, how much will we all pay to have access to safe clean drinking water? What is all water is only available in a bottle? What price will we pay if only a few or even ONE company dictates the price of water?

  This is a Native Opinion special episode: "Washington Post is Questionable". This is a commentary provided by Michael Kickingbear which is a follow up regarding the recent article published by the Washington Post, and it's assertion that 9-10 Native Americans do not find the name of the Washington "R" NFL team offensive. We feature an audio discussion from an episode of The Young Turks (See www.tytnetwork.com) which involves the questionable practices of the Washington Post. The take away from this episode we hope is this: 1.) The Washington Post is owned by Amazon's "Jeff Bezos" who contribute millions to various Democratic causes. This is one indication as to why the Washington post is biased towards the establishment. 2.) The Poll regarding the Washington Team is in itself flawed. 45 percent of the respondents the Post states are "Enrolled" with native American tribes. But they do not state which tribes they are. The REMAINING 55 percent are what they called "Self-Identified as Native American". Well, that can be any non-native that "thinks" they are native American but aren't sure.... 3.) A poll conducted by Vince Schilling (of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe) through his own Twitter account show results that completely reverse the findings. (Take Poll, or see it's results: http://bit.ly/1YZiDBc) Defenders of the Washington poll have tried to discredit his poll stating that it is tainted because the bulk of Schillings followers are Native American. Well, what sense does that make? The Washington Post professes that they polled native American and people who "identify" as Native American. Which would you rather have? A poll that you aren't quite sure all or most of the respondents are Native people or one where you are pretty sure are?   Resources that you can use to balance what you are hearing from non-native defenders of the poll:   https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2013/08/07/the-politics-of-jeff-bezos/ https://twitter.com/VinceSchilling http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2016/05/20/offended-redskins-indian-country-twitter-poll-164554 http://www.tytnetwork.com http://www.indianz.com/News/2016/05/23/vincent-schilling-mascot-poll-doesnt-ref.asp https://twitter.com/blackhorse_a   TO REACH OUR SHOW: Website: http://www.nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us a Voice Message!: https://www.speakpipe.com/nativeopinion

According to 19-year-old student Chiitaanibah Johnson, her professor refused to allow her to make comments about the Native genocide during class — a time when it was appropriate to discuss the issue at hand. Instead, U.S. History Professor Maury Wiseman argued with her and insisted the native people did not face a genocide.

NO_Episode 18_"Native Invisibility" This episode explores the concept of "invisibility" as felt and experienced by native american people. Dave and Mike take current relevant examples from mainstream media and other sources to try to draw attention to how Native people, and our culture are used to highlight, then ignore our existence. "You can't have it both ways" states co-host Michael Kickingbear from the show. "For example, take JK Rowlings, the author of Harry Potter books, in her new work "History of Magic in North America" (Read for context) where she tries to draw on some false comparison of our medicine men and their healing practices to that of wizards and witches." Michael States. "Rowling Cites in her insultive current work "In the Native American community, some witches and wizards were accepted and even lauded within their tribes, gaining reputations for healing as medicine men, or outstanding hunters. However, others were stigmatized for their beliefs, often on the basis that they were possessed by malevolent spirits." But then, when you call her out on it.... crickets..... not a peep from the author to answer to our requests for comment or to answer our questions, such as to where she drew this conclusion? What tribal people did she speak or consult with? This is an example of both cultural MIS-appropriation AND ignorance. This is a contributor to our invisibility" This episode also quotes from an article produced by Author Adrienne K of Native Appropriations.com of her reaction to Rawlings recent work. The article entitles "Magic In North America Part 1 Ugh..." just goes deeper into why this work is offensive. well worth the read! We also look a how many native communities are being shut out of the voting process this election year through rule changes, and other methods of rights infringements. At least 10 different tribal nations are in court over these types of offenses by different states and their governments.
