The fake and gay trade war is on and I haven't been this un-excited to watch a pitifully stupid fight since a fat drunk teenager tried to fight my fisherman friend Ryan at the Pictou tavern in 2008. I expect it will end about the same way. "Well, that was a very stupid idea now wasn't it?"

Episode 346: In this episode, we look into the life and mysterious murder of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash, a prominent Indigenous activist whose story continues to haunt the corridors of justice and activism alike. During the tumultuous 1970s, her journey took her from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, to the heart of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in the United States, where she fought for Indigenous rights. The mystery surrounding Annie Mae's death is as compelling as her life. In December 1975, she disappeared and was later found deceased on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Initial reports misleadingly attributed her death to exposure, but a second autopsy revealed she had been executed with a bullet to the back of her head. This revelation raised questions about who could have orchestrated such a brutal act against someone so profoundly committed to her cause. It took almost 30 years before the shocking truth was uncovered and the people responsible for Annie's murder were brought to justice.

1993 - Bangor/Houlton, Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes had vanished without a trace from Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor in the early morning hours of April 25th, 1993. All eyes were on her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger, who were both arrested after a violent altercation with Virginia at a bar shortly before her disappearance. Hospital staff said Virgina left without checking out, possibly on her own accord. This is the last place she was reliably seen. She was never heard from again. Virginia was a mother. A beloved sister and daughter. After 30 years of waiting, her family just wants to bring her home.  Through their own personal healing, Virginia's family is determined to shed light on the issue of violence and abuse experienced by Native women and people at a disproportionately higher rate. By sharing their stories, they hope to help other families and make a positive impact for the future of Indigenous people. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou is Mi'kmaw—part of Mi'kmaq Nation—one of Maine and Canada's Native tribes. By sharing her story, we are keeping her name alive and bringing awareness to the epidemic that is violence against Indigenous women and girls.  Detailed sources can be found on murdershetold.com Connect on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram @murdershetoldpodcast Support the show here Visit Robert Pictou's shop https://robert-pictou.square.site/s/shop If you have any information about the disappearance of Virginia Pictou, please contact the Maine Major Crimes Unit North at (207) 973-3750 or toll free 1-800-432-7381.

1993 - Bangor/Houlton, Maine. On the evening of April 24th, 1993, Virginia Sue Pictou Noyes was at a bar in Bangor, Maine with her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger, when a brutal fight broke out. Both men beat Virginia, resulting in a double arrest for assault, and Virginia in the hospital. Sometime in the early morning hours, Virginia vanished. Police said she left the hospital on her own accord without checking out, and that they're reasonably sure she was seen at a truck stop in Houlton making a phone call—2.5 hours away in the direction of her home in Easton—trying to get back to her kids. The Pictou family isn't so sure. Her brother, Robert Pictou, believes his sister was dead before she left Bangor... so what happened to Virginia? And 30 years later, why hasn't she been found? This is part one of two of Virginia Pictou Noyes. This is an MMIW case from Maine. Virginia Sue Pictou is Mi'kmaw—part of Mi'kmaq Nation—one of Maine and Canada's Native tribes.

Sasha specializes in empowerment boudoir sessions, emotional portraits, and weddings. Sasha began on Youtube with vlogs mostly for herself but after loving it so much has expanded to using Youtube to showcase her beautiful photography and share her journey with Thyroid Cancer. In this episode, I sit down with Sasha to deep dive into her love for Youtube. We talk about the challenges women face and the importance of changing our self talk. Sasha shares her journey and how she has built a community without being ‘super niched'.
