We're back for the 2024-2025 season!  And what better way to begin than to discuss the history of a sisterhood between the Haudenosaunee women and the American suffragists.  Join us as we interview Sally Roesch Wagner, noted feminist pioneer, activist and author as we discuss her book, Sisters In Spirit.The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations. We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

As this episode was recorded on May 5 - National Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day, this episode is dedicated to: Hanna Harris Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. She was only 21 on July 4, 2013 when she left the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation to go into nearby Lame Deer, Montana, to watch the Independence Day fireworks. She never returned home. When her family reported her missing, local law enforcement downplayed her disappearance. Four days later, a volunteer search team found her body. It was determined that she was brutally raped and murdered. In some tribal communities, Native American Women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average; homicide is the 4th leading cause of death for Native women and girls between the ages of 1 and 19, and the 5th leading cause of death for ages 20 to 24. Almost half of all Native American women have experienced physical violence, and one of three will, at some point in their life, experience the violence and trauma of rape according to the Department of Justice.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD In this episode, part 2 of 6 in a 3 hour conversation with one of the founders of Anonymous. We cover a lot of ground. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS --------- (0:00:01) - Conspiracy Theories and v for Vendetta We discussed water shortage, gangster activity, Pizza Gate, Epstein, V for Vendetta, and the importance of true knowledge. (0:06:18) - Exploring Motivations and Divisions in Society Veefer Vendetta examines how information access has changed, current wedge issues, and freedom of choice in a free country. (0:16:15) - Controversial Opinions on History and Beliefs We examine the legacy of colonialism, access the dark web, discuss indentured servitude, and explore identity formation in Hispanic communities. (0:23:35) - Women in Native American Culture Perception Native American culture's respect for women, Jack the Ripper era views, and women's newfound strength are discussed. Get ready to bust your bubbles of ignorance as we dive into the deep and often murky waters of societal issues, conspiracy theories, and historical narratives. With a critical lens on the state of affairs in California, we question the water shortage crisis, the rise in gangster activity and why these matters seem to be on the back burner for most of us. The Pizza Gate and Epstein controversies are not left out of our fiery discourse, as we probe the deep-seated power dynamics that allow for such atrocities to occur in broad daylight. Ever wonder how the themes from V for Vendetta eerily parallel our current reality? Tune in as we unravel this intriguing topic, and so much more. We dissect the societal shifts in the U.S., focusing on California, discussing everything from the water crisis to the increasing gang activities. You'll also hear our take on controversial topics like Pizza Gate, the Epstein controversy, and the power dynamics intertwined in these cases. Our chat takes an audacious turn when we delve into the impact of colonialism on the identities and beliefs within Hispanic communities. Uncover the dangers of whitewashed historical narratives as we argue about the role of history in shaping identities. We'll also navigate the shadowy corners of the dark web and its societal implications, the bitter reality of indentured servitude, and the extent to which society chooses to overlook these issues. Finally, we unravel the portrayal of women in various cultures, drawing experiences from Native American women during early European settlement and women in the Jack the Ripper era. Brace yourselves as we embark on a thrilling journey of thought-provoking conversations. Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode of Work in Progress, I am joined by Dwana Franklin-Davis, CEO of Reboot Representation whose mission is to double the number of Black, Latina, and Native American (BLNA) women in the tech industry by the year 2025. I sat down with Franklin-Davis at the Aspen Latino Business Summit in Washington, D.C. in early September. Reboot Representation Tech Coalition was launched in 2018 by Pivotal Ventures, Melinda French Gates' incubation organization, which advocates for expanding opportunity and accelerating equity through high-impact investments and partnerships. It was a direct response to the small percentage of women of color graduating with computer degrees and working in the tech industry. "BLNA women in 2017 represented 4% of the graduating population, and that number was down by 33% from the previous decade and wasn't projected to double to 8% until the year 2052 without interventions," explains Franklin-Davis. Pivotal and McKinsey surveyed 32 corporations representing $500 billion in revenue and $500 million in philanthropic giving to determine what they were spending on women and girls in tech. "It turned out they were spending 5% of their philanthropic dollars on women and girls in tech, and less than 0.1% went intentionally to Black, Latina, and Native American women and girls in tech. So the magic number – I got my air quotes around magic – the magic number from that less than 0.1% way back in the day 2017 was $335,000. That's it," she says. Eleven founding companies joined with Pivotal to form Reboot Representation to increase representation and investment in BLNA women in tech. Today there are 23. In a new report, Reboot says their partners have helped increase the number women in the field, but there is a long way to go. "The number of computing degrees awarded to BLNA women nearly doubled between 2016 and 2021, but continued intentional investments will be required to sustain and propel these efforts," according to that report. Franklin-Davis tells me, "I am ecstatic to watch the numbers of BLNA women graduating with computing degrees. We've almost reached our doubling goal. We're almost there. So, that is definitely something to celebrate. But also, I don't want to give the pat on the back to say we're done because although we're watching the actual numbers increase – which is beautiful and amazing – the percentages are only slightly nudging up, which is not good enough." Even with that progress in the graduation rates, the industry representation is heading in the opposite direction. "The numbers of BLNA women in the industry are going down at the very moment that graduation rates are going up. So, we have a graph that looks like a very visible X and that is alarming. That's what keeps us up at night, which is why we produced this second report because we want to make sure that corporations have the tools they need in order to make the minor adjustments to work smarter and not harder and be able to effectively recruit, retain, and advance a diverse workforce." The new report offers up nine suggestions to guide companies seeking to encourage and retain that more diverse workforce, including adding more BLNA women. Franklin-Davis and I discuss those suggestions. Find out more in the podcast, which you can listen to here, or download and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Debbie Reese, a tribally enrolled Nambé Pueblo author and scholar. Dr. Reese is best known for her popular blog American Indians in Children's Literature which “provides critical analysis of Indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books.” Dr. Reese is also the co-adapter (with Dr. Jean Mendoza) of An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (Beacon Press, 2019). We spend some time discussing the ways in which Drs. Reese and Mendoza adapted the often disturbing and violent history of the United States from a Native perspective, a perspective that is often left out of U.S. history books and classrooms. An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People has recently appeared on several lists of books that some want banned or removed from school and public libraries. We hear Dr. Reese's perspective on why books like hers are being challenged.  Our conversation offers an introduction to Dr. Reese and her work, which many librarians, teachers, parents, authors, and others consult to evaluate books by and about Native people, who are often underrepresented and misrepresented in literature. As Dr. Reese tells us, these types of misrepresentations in children's literature—including stereotypes, omissions, and inaccuracies—come at a great cost to both Native and non-Native readers.  Listen to the end of our conversation for some great recommendations of recent books for a wide range of readers, also listed below.  You can check out An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People here at the library and find out more about Dr. Reese at her blog American Indians in Children's Literature.  You can also find some of the books we discussed in our conversation in our collection:  Picture Books SkySisters by Jan Bourdeau Waboose, illustrated by Brian Deines On the Trapline by David Robertson, illustrated by Julie Flett Jingle Dancer by Cynthia Leitich Smith, illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu Ni, Elisi!

In this episode of Critical Reads, we will be discussing #NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women by Lisa Charleyboy and Mary Beth Leatherdale. Here's a brief summary of the book courtesy of the author/publisher: "Native Women demand to be heard in this stunning anthology. Whether looking back to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #NotYourPrincess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible." This week's "Musings of Tired Black Social Worker" segment topic is [MBSW topic].

Episode # 135 - This WONDERFUL WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT WEDNESDAY, we celebrate Native American Women and particularly Mohawk Clan Mother Louise Herne and Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner (a major historian of the suffrage movement) who explore the untold story of how indigenous women influenced the early suffragists in their fight for freedom and equality. They shake the foundation of the established history of the women's right movement in the US, in PBS Short Film entitled "Without A Whisper." We also talk about Susan B. Anthony known for women's suffrage, women's rights, and abolitionism, not just a face on a coin. “Never was justice more perfect; never was civilization higher,” suffrage leader Matilda Joslyn Gage wrote about the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederacy, whose territory extended throughout New York State. Matilda Joslyn Gage led the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, the three women trading executive positions over the 20 years of the organization's existence. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

NOTE: Abigail Echo Hawk will be keynoting at the American Association of Suicidology's Annual Conference on Friday, April 23rd at 9:00AM ET. You can listen to her and the many other diverse speakers virtually or in person at the conference in Orlando.Her keynote is entitled: Decolonizing Data: Restoring Culture and Building BeautyREGISTER HERE: https://www.aasconference.org/registrationOverviewHistorical trauma is often understood to be multigenerational wounding caused by the cumulative impact of major events inflicted upon a specific cultural, racial or ethnic group. When it comes to research about health and well-being, Western modalities of understanding human experience are limited and biased, further driving disparities and truncated views that can cause even more harm. By contrast, a strength-based, Indigenous framework of understanding resists the narrow view and on-going trauma of colonialism and focuses on restoration and healing. In this interview I speak with a “Storyteller of Health” and epidemiologist Abigail Echo Hawk about her vision of an anti-racist approach to data collection and recovery among tribal communities.About Abigail Echo Hawk, MAAbigail Echo-Hawk, M.A., an enrolled member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, is the Chief Research Officer for the Seattle Indian Health Board, a Federally Qualified Health Center serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in King County, Washington. She also serves as the Director of the Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI), a Tribal Epidemiology Center whose mission is to support the health and well-being of urban Indian communities through information, scientific inquiry, and technology. UIHI assists a national network of Urban Indian Health Programs, which are private nonprofit corporations that provide native people in select cities a range of health and social services, from outreach and referral to full ambulatory care. Ms. Echo-Hawk directs a staff of public health professionals who work on multiple ongoing research, evaluation, and disease surveillance projects to benefit American Indian/Alaska Natives in urban and rural settings. She received the University of Washington Bothell's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2013 for her dedication to eliminating health disparities and was also recognized in the 2015 class of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development's (NCAIED) Native American 40 Under 40.As a dedicated community volunteer, Ms. Echo-Hawk has concentrated on policy and institutional change to eliminate disparities for women of color locally and nationally. She focuses on policy advocacy in areas such as maternal and child health, domestic violence, sexual assault, and health disparities. Volunteer memberships include the Native American Women's Dialogue on Infant Mortality, Hope Heart Institute, the Center for Indigenous Law and Justice, the Children and Youth Advisory Board of King County, and the Coalition to End Gender-Based Violence.Ms. Echo-Hawk's greatest joy is her place within her extended family. She is a wife, mother, auntie, daughter, granddaughter, friend, and community member. She strives to serve her family, friends, and community with love and to be a small part of ensuring a great future for the next generation.

Cases of Missing & Murdered Native-American Women Remain Unsolved

Nearly 60 per cent of the cases of missing and Murdered Native-American women are homicides, and 31 per cent involve girls 18 and younger, according to data analyzed by the Sovereign Bodies Institute. Nearly three-quarters of the cases had victims who were living within the foster care system when they went missing. The vast majority of cases in the U.S. remain unsolved. Advocates point to the lack of comprehensive state and federal data missing and murdered Native Americans, as well as general lack of awareness and poor record-keeping as reasons why so many cases go cold. Adverse relationships with non-Native law enforcement agencies only exacerbates the problem, and many worry that Native American persons will continue to suffer from these oversights. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/harrietcammock/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/harrietcammock/support

In this episode, in the midst of the centennial anniversary of women's securing the right to vote, we focus on the 19th Amendment. The perpetual struggle for U.S. voting rights has been fraught with conflict, and the fight for women’s suffrage was no exception. Even after the 19th Amendment was passed, women of color were denied the opportunity to vote: Black women were kept from voting through insidious practices like poll taxes and long wait times (some which still exist today); Indigenous women, many of whom inspired the initial Euro-American push for women’s rights and suffrage, were not considered citizens; and Asian women could not naturalize for citizenship. In fact, until the mid-1950s, laws enacted by Congress—including the Page Act—made it very difficult for Asian women who immigrated to the U.S. to become citizens. Because voting rights are central to our democracy, we devote this episode to the 19th Amendment, its history and the road ahead. Helping us to understand the power and the promise of the vote and what this means for women’s empowerment are two very special guests: Sally Roesch Wagner is a writer, historian and director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center. She was awarded one of the first doctorates in the country for work in women’s studies (UC Santa Cruz). She is author of "The Women's Suffrage Movement”; "Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists"; and "We Want Equal Rights: How Suffragists Were Influenced by Native American Women.” Melanie Campbell is the executive director and CEO for the National Coalition on Black Voter Participation and a nationally recognized expert in civic engagement, election reform and coalition building.

I had Kim Peone on the podcast today who is the newest Executive Director of the non-profit organization SWAIA (Southwestern Association For Indian Arts). Every year SWAIA's banner event the Santa Fe Indian Market brings in millions of dollars for Native artisans and acts as a huge boost for the local economy. The event is always in the third week of August and I myself have had the privilege of attending for the past 30 years. Well, this year the event got canceled. For the first time in 99 years, there will be no Indian Market on the Plaza due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. You can imagine the chaos Kim has had to deal with since taking her current position in April. Regardless, Kim and I had this wonderful interview. She speaks on her early years having grown up with two different tribal backgrounds (Colville and Eastern Cherokee) and the road that ultimately led her to Santa Fe. This is a terrific interview and Kim is clearly going to do an exceptional job as Executive Director. There's going to be a virtual Indian Market event held August 1st - 31st.

Native women face disproportionately high rates of sexual violence, domestic abuse — even murder. The Justice Department estimates that 1 in 3 Native women will be raped. Part of the problem is that tribes are restricted in their ability to prosecute, so abusers and predators are attracted to these unprotected women. In Seattle, Norine Hill, who is a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, has founded Mother Nation to help women out of abusive situations and bring them culturally appropriate services so they can rediscover their strength. In this incredibly powerful podcast, we explore some of the historical injustices inflicted on Native Americans, while also sharing Hill's dramatic personal tale that led her to found Mother Nation.

Congresswoman Deb Haaland has some ideas about what it means when President Trump tells newly-elected congresswomen to go back where they came from. Haaland is, herself, a newly-elected member of Congress from New Mexico, where her long history of activism includes stints as chair of the New Mexico Democratic Party and a bid for statewide office. A lawyer with great organizing skills, she has hit the ground running in the House, as a key member of the Armed Services and Natural Resources committees. She's the co-chair of the Congressional Native American Caucus, and on March 7, 2019, during a debate on voting rights, she became the first Native American woman to preside over the United States House of Representatives. That's right. It took 230 years before a pair of Native American women - Haaland and Sharice Davids of Kansas - were elected to the people's house. For Haaland's part, she's an enrolled member of the Laguna Pueblo people. Archeologists tell us that the Laguna Pueblo people have lived in western New Mexico since around 6500 BC. So when right-wingers talk about sending congresswomen who disagree with the president back, Haaland reminds them that her roots run a lot deeper than their's do.

Sandra Begay grew up in Gallup, New Mexico, near the Navajo reservation. Her grandmother lived on the reservation and her father and grandfather served on the tribal council. Sandra remembers going to her grandmother’s house when it was first hooked up to the grid. The family got to watch as her grandmother turned on the porch light. That was only twenty years ago. Roughly 18,000 households in the Navajo nation are still without power. Today Sandra is an engineer which makes her pretty unusual. Only one in every 13,000 engineers in the U.S. are Native American Women. Her job allows her to help bring renewable energy to the reservations and to help young Native American students pursue engineering careers. She is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories where she assists Native American tribes with their renewable energy development. She also runs Sandia's Indian Energy Internship Program for the DOE Office of Indian Energy. Interview excerpt DB: So talk a little bit about the program that your involved in. SB: Sure. The sponsorship for my work at Sandia National Labs is from the Department of Energy’s Office of Indian Energy, and specifically I am given assignments to help tribes across the United States, upon their request to the Federal government. And then I can get an assignment to help them out with a specific energy problem. One of the specific things that I enjoy doing is strategic energy planning. So we’ll take a team of three of us from Sandia and our contractors and we’ll go out to the tribal community and host a three-day strategic energy planning session. So at the end of the day we’ve looked at a vision for ten years in the future all focused in on energy and we wind up on that third day with a two year action plan, and part of that is not only to support the tribes in their efforts but to give them the documentation for the tribe to implement. And then we write a report for the federal government so that they’re ready for what the tribes might be requesting in the two year time frame. DB: Do you work with tribes all across the nation? SB: I work with tribes all across the nation but it also includes Alaskan natives out in the state of Alaska. It just depends on the tribe and their readiness to ask for this type of strategic planning assistance. DB: What’s the state of the grid or electrification for a lot of the tribes? SB: The tribes are behind all the way dating back to the 1940s when the rural electrification act was incorporated where many rural communities were connected with lines and poles. For whatever reason tribal lands were skipped over, maybe too complex to deal with from a federal level, and so infrastructure was not actually put in place. Some tribes who might have more money to invest are getting ahead of the curve and having modern infrastructure yet those who do not have a lot of gaming revenue have to go by grants or giving some of their own revenue to put in lines and poles and other infrastructure that they need. DB: So there are still homes out there that aren’t wired yet. SB: Navajo nation is a tribe that skews the numbers quite a bit when you talk about national populations of American Indians or Alaska Natives. So, I’ve heard numbers from 18,000 households all the way to 30,000 people that do not have electricity yet at this point and this is as of 2018. And so the way to answer those problems is, yes there’s need for lines and poles in certain circumstances but the cost of $30,000 to $35,000 per mile is very expensive and that would be out of that person’s pocket. Most people don’t have that kind of money sitting around. So there may be grant dollars available but my unique piece to this puzzle started about 15 years ago where I helped support the tribal utility on Navajo put in solar energy. So it’s off-grid homes that have energy from solar panels and batteries and many even have a small wind turbine associated with it.

Racism is a serious world-wide issue and recently it was on display in Lethbridge, proving that racism is still alive in this community, despite efforts on many fronts to the contrary. Grad students from a local high school organized a “Cowboys and Indians” themed graduation party held off campus and images of students wearing headdresses, war paint and feathers was shared on social media. Many indigenous peoples were upset by the theme and event, which they say illustrates the brutal history of colonization and minimizes the importance of indigenous cultures. Some of the students involved apologized for the theme saying that the event was not intended to be a racist party and that they were very sorry about their actions while apologizing to the aboriginal communities. Although the event was privately held and only attended by some grad students, the school later called an assembly to address the concerns. Dialog among the school and students are continuing, but what is the take-away from this incident? Are children and young adults being conditioned that racism is acceptable? Should parents largely be responsible for their children's cultural behavior or should schools also play a prominent role? How can schools and the wider community use this incident to further cultural understanding and inclusion? In the context of racism, the speaker will offer hope that this incident may be an opportunity to grow respect for indigenous and other cultures by all Canadians. Speaker: Dr. Linda Many Guns Linda Many Guns received her Ph. D. from Trent University Faculty of Indigenous Sturdies in 2013.

Women make up about 25 percent of state legislatures. But a little more than 40 percent of all American Indian and Alaska Native legislators are female. Or, another way to look at the data, there are 1,800 legislative seats held by women and that works out to a representation by Native women of 1.4 percent. That means there is still a long way to go to reach parity with the population, but it’s much better than just about any other category in the body politic.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT, NATIVE AMERICANS AND SOVEREIGN RIGHTS According to the Dept. of Justice, Native American women have higher rates of domestic violence, coupled with low income rates, higher rates of sexual assault, and the list goes on and on. So what can we learn, how can we fight, and what are we doing about native populations and assault? During this month of focusing awareness on domestic violence, let’s add some special lighting to cultures that are facing special battles in the attempt to educate and eliminate violence against women. Special guest Lynda Smallenberger, Executive Director of Kene Me-Wu Family Healing Center, Inc., (KMWFHC) will join us.  She worked in Indian Country for over twenty five years in Tribal gaming and social services, has substance abuse counseling and skills in working with violence against women specializing in working with tribal women as they change their lives.   She is on the California Domestic Violence Advisory Council, (DVAC) and works with the Judicial Council of California Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) on the Violence Against Women Educational Program.

Canada may not be seen as a place where widespread human rights violations against their indigenous population occur on a regular basis by the international community. However, Canada's indigenous population is arguable over-policed and under-protected with both men and women incarcerated at rates much higher than the non-indigenous population and face police violence and deaths in custody all too often. Mainstream media is no longer able to ignore the ongoing violence against indigenous people and more specifically the targeting of indigenous women, transgender and two-spirited people. The Canadian government has consistently refused demands for a public inquiry, which would acknowledge the gravity of the crisis. The speakers will argue that an inquiry could establish a public record and examine more than the root causes that are already known. An inquiry could also shed light on why many reports with hundreds of recommendations on this subject have never been acted upon.
