Uncover the often overlooked yet deeply influential Doctrine of Discovery with us, as we bring political science instructor and former Congressional candidate Steve Schwartzberg to the table. Join us to explore how this doctrine, woven into the fabric of U.S. history, continues to impact Indigenous peoples today. Steve shares his insights, drawing from influential thinkers like Steve Newcomb and Peter Dorico, to expose the historical context and the enduring injustices perpetuated by figures such as Chief Justice John Marshall. We also shine a light on Steve's 2018 Congressional campaign and his advocacy for crucial issues like Medicare for All and tribal sovereignty, providing an intimate glimpse into his motivations and vision for change.We navigate the complex interplay between Christian theology and Indigenous rights, challenging the exclusionary practices rooted in the Doctrine of Discovery. By examining historical figures like Sepulveda, we reveal how religious rhetoric has been manipulated to justify oppression and violence. Our conversation is enriched by Indigenous perspectives on divinity and interconnectedness, offering a powerful counter-narrative to hierarchical religious constructs. This exploration invites listeners to reassess the impact of these doctrines on modern secular hierarchies and nationalism, urging a critical examination of the legacies that shape our world today.In a poignant conclusion, we turn to the transformative power of grief, inspired by the Onondaga Nation's practices. Embracing grief as a pathway to healing, we discuss how acknowledging historical injustices can foster genuine relationships and understanding. The episode culminates in a reflection on the manipulation of history and the enduring myths surrounding figures like Columbus, highlighting the necessity of moving from guilt to love and interconnectedness. Through these rich discussions, we invite you to confront historical injustices and explore pathways to reconciliation, offering hope for a more inclusive and understanding future.Support the showView the transcript and show notes at podcast.doctrineofdiscovery.org.

On this episode of The Ag Tribes Report,  Vance Crowe welcomes Bill Bullard of R-CALF USA to discuss the stories impacting the culture of agriculture. North Dakota faces severe wildfires, impacting lives, the environment, and the economy with significant oil production drops. The USDA introduces market competition initiatives aimed at lowering food prices through new rules on livestock markets and seed competition. These measures are part of an effort to level the playing field for farmers against large agribusiness entities, sparking discussion on whether more regulations can foster market freedom.McDonald's legal battle against major meat packers for alleged price-fixing brings attention to the dynamics between producers, packers, and consumers, questioning the position of American cattlemen in this corporate clash. Meanwhile, the return of ancestral land to the Onondaga Nation marks a step towards rectifying historical injustices and environmental restoration.List of Worthy Adversaries: List of Worthy adversaries: https://x.com/i/lists/1815850820195475962

Governor Hochul on September 5 convened an energy summit in Syracuse to supposedly get the state back on track to meeting its climate goals. However, much of the summit focused on the idea on building new nuclear power plants, which sparked a letter of protest from more than 150 groups. At a press conference held outside the summit, we hear from Laura Shindell of Food and Water Watch; Joe Heath, representing the Onondaga Nation; Kathy Nolan of Physicians for Social Responsibility - NY; Cornell professor Robert Howarth; Ethan Gormley of Citizen Action; and Avni Pravin of AGREE (Alliance for a Green Economy). By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

While Governor Hochul opened up her energy summit in Syracuse on September 5 with a strong statement in support of the need for climate action, much of the focus on the event was her promotion of new nuclear power. We start off by hearing from Tim Judson of the Nuclear Information and Resource Services about why nuclear is not a climate solution. We then went across the street where several groups that were supportive of nuclear were tabling, where we talked with Martha Viglietta of the Citizens Climate Lobby, best known for its promotion of carbon pricing. We then hear from Cornel professor Robert Howarth, a member of the state's Climate Action Council, whose official NYS Climate Scoping Plan rejected new nuclear. He is followed by attorney Joe Heath representing the Onondaga Nation and Laura Shindell of Food and Water Watch. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

U.S. citizenship was not a given for the people who occupied the land before there was a United States. Nor was the idea universally welcomed by all Native nations. Citizenship ensured the right to vote in national elections and equal protection under the Constitution. But it also required relinquishing a measure of sovereignty, something the Onondaga Nation and the Haudenosaunee refuse to recognize to this day. A century after President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, we'll look at the strengths and sacrifices of becoming American citizens. GUESTS Dr. Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne & Hodulgee Muscogee), president of the Morning Star Institute and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Robert Miller (Eastern Shawnee), professor at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University and tribal judge Sam Deloria (Yankton Dakota enrolled in Standing Rock), former director of the American Indian Law Center and American Indian Graduate Center Allison Neswood (Navajo), staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund

Sasquatch, also called Bigfoot, has captured the popular collective imagination around the globe for decades. But in addition to their pop icon status, Sasquatch have a deeper meaning for many Native American cultures. The name that's often used most likely comes from the Coast Salish word “Sasq'ets.” The Sts'ailes First Nation in Canada consider Sasquatch to be a caretaker of the land. A new exhibition at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Ore. showcases work by Native artists inspired by Sasquatch.

A tribe once targeted for termination has established the first reservation in the state of Illinois. The U.S. Department of Interior transferred 130 acres of Northern Illinois land to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The action comes 175 years after the federal government illegally sold the tribe's Illinois land — ten times the current trust land size — when the chief was out of the state visiting family. We'll hear about the new land transaction and other recent notable land achievements.

Canandaigua is under a flood watch again today, an international commission has upheld the Onondaga Nation's right to pursue claims against the United States and New York state for unjustly taking indigenous lands two centuries ago, and the city is launching a one-year pilot program at its rec centers in an effort to boost the emotional health of Rochester's children.

A lawyer named Dennis has a terrifying encounter in the woods of upstate New York that leaves him confused and unsettled to this day. He and his friend were awoken by a horrible inhuman growling and before seeing a very tall dark Cryptid-like, creature. Thank you to Frank Buffalo Hyde and Louie from the Onondaga Nation for talking with me about this. I reached out to Kate as well and spoke over text but she is in China for work until July!

Ep 451 - Cathedral Thinking Guest: Rick Antonson By Stuart McNish   Groucho Marx once quipped, “Why should I care about future generations? What have they ever done for me?” According to Rick Antonson, “You have a responsibility to your children's great grandchildren.” In fact, Antonson says, “You need to wrench yourself from your phone and become a cathedral thinker about the big issues of our times.”    The concept crosses many cultures. Chief Oren Lyons, of the Onondaga Nation, a member of the Iroquois Confederacy, says, “Looking ahead is one of the first mandates given us as chiefs, to make sure every decision that we make relates to the welfare and well-being of the seventh generation to come.”   Antonson rhetorically asks, “Is cathedral thinking a relic of the past or does it still apply?” He says, “Yes. More, now than ever, we need to apply it to social policy issues, racial injustice, technological risks such as AI, public health and space to name but a few.”   We invited Rick Antonson to join us for a Conversation That Matters about why we should care about future generations.   Join me May 16 for Conversations Live - A Vancouver Sun Town Hall: Life Sciences - BC's Innovation Future   https://www.conversationslive.ca/   If you love communications and speech writing you'll gain valuable insights from Presidential SpeechWriting which I narrated.

NYS Governor Kathy Hochul is once again under scrutiny for vetoing a bill that would have protected unmarked graves of Native People. It's another in a litany of demonic insults to Native tribes in New York. But this one comes with a kicker. In defending her administration's policies toward Native territories in NY, she mentions the return of 1,000 acres to the Onondaga Nation. But there's a whole lot more to that story.

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a decades-old law designed to give indigenous people adoption priority to indigenous children, is being challenged at the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs in Haaland vs. Brackeen say this system is racist due to non-Native families being at the bottom of the list. On this week's In Depth, we're asking: What does this mean for Indigenous communities in New York and across the nation? We hear from Hilary Tompkins, a member of the Navajo Nation who was adopted by a white family before ICWA was enacted. We're also joined by Joe Heath, general counsel for the Onondaga Nation, who explains the injustices leading up to ICWA and how challenging the act could affect tribal sovereignty. Frank Edwards, an assistant professor at Rutgers University, shares research on how ICWA has impacted the child welfare state over the last few decades.

Diane Schenandoah '11 joined the staff at Syracuse University last July as Honwadiyenawa'sek—the Haudenosaunee word for “one who helps them.” Firmly rooted in her Haudenosaunee heritage—her mother was a clan mother of Oneida Nation's wolf clan; her father an Onondaga Nation chief—Schenandoah brings teachings of gratitude, faith, peace and inner resilience to students who meet with her. As Honwadiyenawa'sek, she offers a range of healing modalities, including energy work and acupressure, art therapy, dream interpretation, tuning forks, and ritualistic smudging with sage and tobacco, to help students find their center in today's hectic world. On this 'Cuse Conversation, Shenandoah shares about her life growing up on Oneida Nation lands with her close-knit family; her spiritual principles and practices; her role as faithkeeper; her art and singing careers; and her experience at Syracuse since joining the team at the Barnes Center.

This week guest Tusha Yakovleva calls on us to remember our millennium-old relationship with weedy beings and the gifts of wild and invasive plants. It's estimated that worldwide spending on invasive species exceeds one trillion dollars annually. But if we were to cease our violent relationship with weeds and invasive species, what might we find? Cultural cooperation between plants and people? A whole slew of plant-relatives that are thriving in increasingly challenging landscapes? We are challenged to think about our capacity, or willingness, to know invasive plants - Tusha queries listeners to ask “Do we know their reasons for making home in unfamiliar soils? Or what gifts and responsibilities they carry?” We are left with much to think about in the realm of curiosity and acceptance, two muscles that need an exceptional amount of exercise in a time where so much is rapidly changing environmentally and socially. Tusha Yakovleva is an educator, gatherer and ethnobotanist whose work revolves around generating strong, respectful relationships between plants and people. The foundations of her life-long foraging practice come from her family and first home - the Volga River watershed in Russia - where tending to uncultivated plants and mushrooms for food and medicine is common practice. Tusha is the author of Edible Weeds on Farms: Northeast Farmer's Guide to Self-growing Vegetables. Tusha is currently completing graduate work at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry on Onondaga Nation homelands. Her research is in support of cross-cultural partnerships for biocultural restoration and takes place under the guidance of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.

1,000 Acres Of Ancestral Land Returned To Onondaga Nation Earlier this month, more than 1,000 acres of land in central New York were returned to the Onondaga Nation, the original steward of the land. This decision stems from a 2018 settlement between the Natural Resource Trustees and Honeywell International, Inc., which previously owned the land and polluted it with dangerous toxins, such as mercury and heavy metals. Under this agreement, Honeywell will fund and implement 18 restoration projects, and the Onondaga Nation will lead the restoration and preservation of its land. “It is with great joy that the Onondaga Nation welcomes the return of the first substantial acreage of its ancestral homelands. The Nation can now renew its stewardship obligations to restore these lands and waters and to preserve them for the future generations yet to come,” Onondaga Nation Chief Tadodaho Sid Hill said in a statement. “The Nation hopes that this cooperative, government-to-government effort will be another step in healing between themselves and all others who live in this region which has been the homeland of the Onondaga Nation since the dawn of time.” Roxanne Khamsi, science writer based in Montreal, Canada, joins Ira to talk about this “landback victory,” which marks one of the largest returns of land to an Indigenous nation in U.S. history. Roxanne and Ira also discuss other science news of the week, including why pulse oximeters aren't inclusive of people with dark skin, how some mosquito-borne viruses trick their hosts into attracting more mosquitoes, the discovery of a one-of-a-kind carnivorous plant that hides its traps underground, why some flowers act as cesspools for bumblebees, and how relocating sea turtle eggs can lead to health issues for newborn turtles.   A New COVID Wave Is Here, Raising The Risk Of Reinfections Coronavirus is surging again in the United States. The latest sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 are now dominant. Right now, things are feeling a little different: People who were recently sick are getting reinfected. And those who have so far evaded the virus are getting it for the first time. A new booster based on the new omicron sub-variants is slated to roll out in the fall. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing to allow people under 50 to get a second dose of the currently available booster. Ira is joined by Katelyn Jetelina, adjunct professor at UTHealth School of Public Health and author of the newsletter, Your Local Epidemiologist and Jessica Malaty Rivera, epidemiology fellow at Boston Children's Hospital and senior advisor at the Pandemic Prevention Institute to debunk the latest pandemic misinformation and update us on the current state of the virus.   Texas Heatwave Puts Strain on Electric Grid Texans woke up Monday morning to a familiar fear, worried that the state's electric grid may not provide enough energy to see them through the day. While the anxiety is understandable, a shortfall of energy reserves on the system does not automatically mean the grid operator will order rolling blackouts. If you, like millions of others, are wondering about the likelihood of blackouts, here's a review of what happens if the state falls short of power.

It's not allergies, and it's not the flu. If anything, he feels sharper: He needs less sleep, and can multitask and read at lightning speed. What's going on with him? It turns out his genome has been hacked: tiny changes were made to his DNA to make him a bit of a superhuman. But at what cost? This is the plot of Upgrade, Science Friday's next book club pick, and a new science fiction novel that mixes real science concepts—notably CRISPR—with a fast-paced plot. It's written by author Blake Crouch, who was inspired to write the book in part because of a Science Friday appearance in 2016. It's also our current book club pick. Blake joins Ira to discuss a future where gene editing is used to hack drugs, people, and animals, and how far off we are from the book's climate disaster surveillance state.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

July 6, 2022 - A deal with New York's state government could result in the Onondaga Nation getting back more than 1,000 acres of upstate land, although it will come with some strings attached. The tribe's general counsel, Joe Heath, joins the show to explain the proposed land transfer and discusses what should be done to repair relations with the state's indigenous people

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! In this episode I start off by chatting about the news that historical land is being transferred back to Onondaga Nation. Then I dive into what I think the idea Fourth of July BBQ plate is. After I talk about what eating competitions I might be good at. Finally, I end with roadmapping the next few pod episode topics over the coming week. Thanks so much for listening!

We interview Angela Ferguson, a fiercely dedicated seed saver, corn grower and food sovereignty practitioner and advocate who continues to maintain and revitalize Indigenous trade networks. She is the supervisor of the Onondaga Nation Farm, a working farm that provides traditional foods for families throughout the Onondaga Nation. It serves as a place where cultural learning around food and farming are practiced. Throughout the interview, Angela shells bean seeds, and with seeds clicking and popping in background, she tells us about food as currency, alternative trade networks, pre-monetary currency, practices of reciprocity that are being revitalized and food as the common thread. Angela notes how a lot of the work at the farm is about integrating people with the foods and sacred knowledge that comes from elders and the connection that pulls it all together. I think this is part of the definition of sovereignty: Can we feed ourselves? Can we still perform our ceremonies? Can we still speak the language? Are we still willing to learn and pass on that oral tradition? We have begun using food as currency. We have eliminated using the US dollar as a form of value placed on our goods and resuscitated the thought process getting back to old trade routes using food as value. "A lot of places in my food travels had a lot of people calling their seed places a seed bank, and I thought, well, banks are full of promissory notes. That's what a dollar bill is— an IOU. I don't feel that our seeds are an IOU, they are something so sacred that they need to be honored. I did not like the word ‘bank'. When you give things, you give them unconditionally, so you don't expect anything back. The seeds do that for us, the food does that for us." "There were people who starved to death on the Trail of Tears but they didn't eat the food that was in their pocket because they knew they had to keep those seeds going for the next generations to come. That is very intense thinking when it comes to food and I think people have gotten so far away from that mindset, that if they can reconnect again -- it is what will eliminate the value of a dollar. If someone would hand me a jar of seeds or $20, for me the $20 has no value but the seeds can feed a generation. They can support a lot more than those $20 could."

ESOW #236 - Ęhsganyé:ˀ Gaę́:nase:ˀ (New Women's Shuffle Dance) as sung by Onondaga Men. Recorded at 2002 Spring Sing on the Onondaga Nation.

The world has entered a period of radical creative destruction — of breakdown and breakthrough. The very fate of human civilization hangs in the balance. Where have we gone so wrong? Could it be our cosmology itself, our view of our place in the natural and cosmic order? As author Richard Tarnas observes, “World views create worlds.” Is a fundamental transformation of our civilization's world view the gateway to our survival and flourishing as a species? In this Bioneers audio special, we take an experiential journey into cosmology, consciousness and change, with: Chief Oren Lyons, Native American leader from the Onondaga Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy; Richard Tarnas, the author of Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View; and featuring music from Shaman's Dream and Blue Tech.

In the wise, lyrical book, Braiding Sweet Grass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, by Robin Wall Kimmerer, the author describes how the children of the Onondaga Nation begin and end their school week. They recite the Thanksgiving Address, or as is known more accurately in the Onondaga language, Words That Come Before All Else. The following text is an excerpt from this beautiful book. May we choose to be grateful every day, and for our actions to be guided by these words.Words That Come Before All ElseToday we have gathered and when we look upon the faces around us we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each other and all living things. So now let us bring our minds together as one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as People. Now our minds are one.We are all thankful to our Mother the Earth, for she gives us everything that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her. It gives us joy that she still continues to care for us, just as she has from the beginning of time. To our Mother, we send thanksgiving, love, and respect. Now our minds are one.We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst, for providing strength and nurturing life for all beings. We know its power in many forms—waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans, snow and ice.  We are grateful that the waters are still here and meeting their responsibility to the rest of Creation.  Can we agree that water is important to our lives and bring our minds together as one to send greetings and thanks to the Water? Now our minds are one.We turn our thoughts to all of the Fish in the water. They were instructed to cleanse and purify the water. They also give themselves to us as food. We are grateful that they continue to do their duties and we send to the Fish our greetings and our thanks. Now our minds are one.Now we turn toward the vast fields of Plant life. As far as the eye can see, the Plants grow, working many wonders. They sustain many life forms. With our minds gathered together we give thanks and look forward to seeing Plant life for many generations to come. Now our minds are one.When we look about us, we see that the berries are still here, providing us with delicious foods. The leader of the berries is the strawberry, the first to ripen in the spring.  Can we agree that we are grateful that the berries are with us in the world and send our thanksgiving, love, and respect to the berries? Now our minds are one.With one mind we honor and thank all the Food Plants we harvest from the garden, especially the Three Sisters who feed the people with such abundance.  Since the beginning of time, the grains, vegetables, beans, and fruit have helped the people survive. Many other living things draw strength from them as well. We gather together in our minds all the plant foods and send them a greeting of thanks. Now our minds are one.Now we turn to all the Medicine Herbs of the world. From the beginning they were instructed to take away sickness. They are always waiting and ready to heal us. We are so happy that there are still among us those special few who remember how to use these plants for healing. With one mind, we send thanksgiving, love, and respect to the Medicines. Now our minds are one.Standing around us we see all the Trees.  The Earth has many families of Trees who each have their own instructions and uses.  Some provide shelter and shade, others fruit and beauty and many useful gifts.  The Maple is the leader of the trees, to recognize its gift of sugar when the People need it most.  Many peoples of the world recognize a Tree as a symbol of peace and strength.  With one mind we greet and thank the Tree life.  Now our minds are one.We gather our minds together to send our  greetings and thanks to all the beautiful animal life of the world, who walk about with us. They have many things to teach us as people.

The Creator gave them the gift of beautiful songs. Each morning they greet the day and with their songs remind us to enjoy and appreciate life. The Eagle was chosen to be their leader and to watch over the world. To all the Birds, from the smallest to the largest, we send our joyful greetings and thanks. Now our minds are one.We are all thankful for the powers we know as the Four Winds. We hear their voices in the moving air as they refresh us and purify the air we breathe. They help us to bring the change of seasons. From the four directions they come, bringing us messages and giving us strength. With one mind we send our greetings and thanks to the Four Winds. Now our minds are one.Now we turn to the west where our grandfathers, the Thunder Beings, live. With lightning and thundering voices, they bring with them the water that renews life. We bring our minds together as one to send greetings and thanks to our Grandfathers, the Thunderers. Now our minds are one.We now send greetings and thanks to our eldest brother, the Sun.

With one mind we send greetings and thanks to our Brother, the Sun. Now our minds are one.We put our minds together to give thanks to our oldest Grandmother, the Moon, who lights the nighttime sky. She is the leader of women all over the world, and she governs the movement of the ocean tides. By her changing face we measure time and it is the Moon who watches over the arrival of children here on Earth. Let us gather our thanks for Grandmother Moon together in a pile, layer upon layer of gratitude, and then joyfully fling that pile of thanks high into the night sky that she will know.  With one mind we send greetings and thanks to our Grandmother, the Moon.

Today on the podcast is author, teacher and creative Daniel Bowman Jr. Dan recently released  his incredible book detailing his story of discovering he is autistic as an adult. On the Spectrum: Autism, Faith & the Gifts of Neurodiversity. gives an inside look at Dan's struggle as a neurodiverse person living in a neurotypical world, and the constant fight of trying to force his mind and his body to work in a way that it is not wired to. The world often frames people on the spectrum as a problem to be fixed instead of a person to be understood, and in our conversation, as well as his book, Dan shares what this journey has been like for him and also how God has shown him the gifts that his uniqueness offers in his life through the creative arts, how he teaches and more.  All of us, neurotypical or neurodiverse are perfectly and wonderfully made, on purpose by God, and when we live fully in who we are and who we were created to be we can draw nearer to Him and invite others to do likewise alongside us. I really love Dan's perspectives on life, and he's the professor we all want because he loves to teach us not only ways to dive deep in the learning process, but wants to push us to be the best version of ourselves as we learn. I love this beautiful summation from his book: “The last thing anyone on the spectrum needs is a limited-and limiting- range of images in the public's awareness about what it means to be autistic. While I celebrate any austic person who has earned acclaim, I also see an urgent need to move beyond a handful of iconic narratives. So let us continue to add our voices, perspectives, and unique stories. Let us give one another the gift of our diversity, and in doing so, reveal our shared dignity.” Amen and amen.  You matter, friend. Your story matters. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.   Connecting with Dan:  Book Facebook Instagram Twitter Website   Episode Sponsor: Tony Crabtree of Crabtree Homes with Exit Realty  Home buyer guide: http://bit.ly/buyersguidecrabtreehomes Seller guide: http://bit.ly/sellerguidecrabtreehomes Facebook Instagram Website YouTube   References: Taylor University  Middlemarch - George Elliot  The Animal Family - Randall Jarrell  List of Autistic traits (a generally more compassionate list, vs. one like this) ADHD Tourettes Comorbidities  Bi-polar “Atypical” (show on Netflix) “Temple Grandin” #ownvoices  Chinua Achebe - Things Fall Apart  Onondaga Nation  Lacrosse Team  The mass graves at former residential schools (up to over 6,000 bodies found now) “Hotel Rwanda” Don Cheadle  “Just Mercy” and Bryan Stevenson  “Roots” “Schindler's List”  Russ Ramsey's book The Passion of the King of Glory  Enneagram  The Relief Journal    Scripture References: Full list of Jesus teaching through story aka His parables John 4- The woman at the well Psalm 139:14- We are uniquely and wonderfully made  Acts 15- (pretty much the whole book of Acts) The early Church where Gentiles and Jews were learning how to follow Christ together 2 Corinthians 12:8-10- God's strength is made perfect in our weakness  John 13:35 / 1 John 4:7-12- 1 John 4:19, We're called to love everyone  Matthew 22:36-40 / Galatians 5:14- The law can be summed up in Love God and love your neighbor Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, Luke 7: 36-50, John 12:1-8- The woman who anoints Jesus' feet  Mark 16 (This contains the Great Commission, but I mean to say Mark 14 on the podcast.

--Made of leather, sinew thread, and wampum (quahog shell) beads, ca. 1400s --In possession of the Onondaga Nation, central New York This most ancient and precious ceremonial wampum belt, created by the Ondondaga tribe to record the proclamation of the Great Law of Peace at the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy (or more properly, the Haudenosaunee), was the subject of more than a century of legal wrangling, confusion, and controversy, even appearing at one point at the Chicago World's Fair, before finally returning to its home in upstate New York.

Today, we learn about some of the legends of the Iroquois Confederacy. We read two legends, the first being “Legends of the Corn” and the second being “The Great Mosquito.” These legends come to us from the book “The Legends of the Iroquois” written by William Walker Canfield. Also included below are three links. One link is to the Encyclopedia Britannica entry about the Iroquois Confederacy and the other two, refer to the Onondaga Tribe and the Cayuga Tribe of Native Americans, which were part of the original Confederacy.   Where you from...What book(s) are you reading?

ESOW #215 - Ęhsganyé:ˀ Gaę́:nase:ˀ (New Women's Shuffle Dance) as sung by Grand River Singers. Recorded at 2018 Fall Sing at Onondaga Nation.

To say humanity is living unsustainably is a massive understatement. In the words of Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation, humanity is like a jockey, whipping its horse faster and faster to get to the finish line, not realizing that the finish line is a brick wall. The proliferation of nuclear weapons did not make us change. The ecological movement of the 60s and 70s, ushered in by Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, helped awaken us, but not enough. After some modest improvements, the soil, air, and waters remained polluted. The rainforests continued to be cut down at an alarming rate. Temperatures continued to rise, along with the seas. It seemed we were beyond hope for change and now living in the Age of Consequences. Then, a tiny virus did what no social movement had done. It shut everything down. The incessant pressure of human economic activity ground to a halt. Amid the human death toll, the natural world was granted a reprieve.  In the midst of the pandemic, a police officer kept his foot on George Floyd's neck, causing him to die, but giving birth to a renewed social justice movement. Social justice and ecological justice are invariably connected; the Floyd murder was a metaphor for what humanity had been doing to Mother Earth. We had been keeping our foot on her neck, paving over the natural world to pursue our short-sighted economic interests. It was Mother Earth that could not breathe. If we did not change, much of the natural world would die. In this edition of Circle for Original Thinking, we explore how we might learn to live in a different way, renew our relationship with the more-than-human world, honor the wisdom of nature and of our ancestors, and reimagine education to be an agent of change rather than merely a reflection of the current society. We have never lived through a time exactly like this. But we have lived through crises before. We know from experience that every crisis presents both danger and opportunity. The opportunity now seems clear. We must gather all our resources, the perennial wisdom of the past and the most brilliant minds of the present, to make a course correction. Our guests today are Jim Garrison, current president of  Ubiquity University, and Will Taegel, former dean of Ubiquity. Join us as we address humanity in crisis on the next episode of Circle for Original Thinking. Dr. Will Taegel walks in two dimensions. One reflects his lifelong connection with the Indigenous Mind/Heart and the other his psychological and scientific research. While both his doctorates concentrate on the synergy of ecopsychology and the matrix of field physics, he counts his shamanic training described in his book Walking With Bears as the most important of his life. Walking With Bears completes a trilogy of books that includes Wild Heart and Mother Tongue; all address a human return to Earth-based consciousness. Will is the former Dean for the Wisdom School of Graduate Studies, Ubiquity University, Austin, Texas. He is an experienced psychotherapist with a demonstrated history of working in the education management industry, and holds a Doctor of Ministry focused in Family Systems Therapy and Spirituality from University of California at Berkeley. Dr. James Garrison is founder and president of Ubiquity University. He originally served as founding president of Wisdom University, which he led from 2005 – 2012, after which it transitioned into Ubiquity. He has spent his entire professional life in executive leadership, including as founder and president of both the Gorbachev Foundation/USA from 1992 – 1995 and State of the World Forum from1995 – 2004 with Mikhail Gorbachev serving as convening chairman. He attended University of Santa Clara for his B.A. in History, Harvard for his Masters in the History of Religion, and Cambridge for his PhD in philosophical theology. He has written seven books, beginning with The Plutonium Culture in 1979 to his current book in writing on Climate Change and the Primordial Mind. He taught regularly throughout his tenure at Wisdom University on Greek philosophy, world history, and the philosophical implications of global warming. He continues to teach at Ubiquity.

Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, a Policy Options Podcast. The reconciliation agenda has made progress since the 1970s, but there’s still much work to be done.

How should Canada and Indigenous peoples move forward on reconciliation?  David Newhouse, chair of the Department of Indigenous Studies at Trent University and a member of the Onondaga Nation from the Six Nations of the Grand River community, near Brantford, Ontario, stopped by the podcast to share his insights on this topic.
