Send us a textSouth Dakota trial lawyer Charles Abourezk has a compelling story as a lawyer and beyond that role. He grew up on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation, and advocated for Indian Americans before and after law school. He represented indigenous people's interests at the United Nations. He produced and directed radio and television programming concerning Native Americans. Charlie is Chief Justice of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's Supreme Court in South Dakota; Justice of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Appellate Court; Justice of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Appellate Court; and Special Judge for Oglala Sioux Tribal Courts. Charlie attended the Trial Lawyers College in 1997, two years before your podcast host Jonathan Katz attended. There, Charlie particularly took to psychodrama. He remains and teaches actively on staff at the National Psychodrama Training Center. Charlie's late father James Abourezk was the first United States Arab American senator, who subsequently founded the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). He was a strong advocate for Native American rights while in the U.S. House and Senate. Law enforcement once searched Charlie's home on the reservation, and followed him around for a period of time, I take it due to his support of Native Americans. He says such an experience makes you stronger. Charlie strongly and aptly believes in the power of psychodrama for winning in court. His devotion to Native American rights made inviting him for this interview all the more compelling for Jon Katz, whose close friend and spirtual teacher Jun Yasuda strongly supports Native American rights.

In this episode, we chat with human rights advocate, singer, storyteller, and University of Minnesota-Twin Cities American Studies doctoral student Wakinyan LaPointe. Wakinyan, a Sicangu (Burnt Thigh) Lakota citizen of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, focuses his studies on Indigenous rights, human rights, and youth organizing. He describes how his work with Indigenous young people, Indigenous people across the globe, and water scholars has informed his understanding of how to generate a sustainable future. One strategy he shares is the deepening of Indigenous youth's relationship with their ancestral waterways, which has shown to improve water and land health. For Wakinyan, having his parents share stories and cultural traditions with him during his childhood – spent in Washington, California, and the Rosebud reservation before landing in Minneapolis – was foundational to his understanding of self and the world. Today, Wakinyan uses these teachings and those embedded within the songs he sings to reclaim his time from the “weeds of academia” and establish a healthy grounding to his days. Tune in for an engaging conversation with one of today's most vibrant, Indigenous artist scholars!
President Donald Trump and Republicans pulled off a decisive victory. Are Native Americans poised to benefit from the change in power? We'll get the early analysis about what the election results mean from a Native perspective and hear more about how Native candidates fared up and down the ballot.

Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Ojibwe/D-MN) is already the highest ranking female Native elected executive in the country. Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Gov.

We'll hear from current and former political leaders from Minnesota and the Upper Midwest about any contributions or detriments the state's Native elected leaders bring to the national stage.

President Joe Biden's age in relation to his ability to do his job is a topic making front page news with questions about his memory, cognitive function, and physical stamina. At 81, President Biden is not that much older than his presumptive Republican election opponent, 77-year-old Donald Trump. Native Americans have a pronounced respect for the wisdom of elders. We'll explore Native voters' perceptions of age for elected officials as well as ways Native traditions for elders can inform the larger society's views on aging.

Robins Kaplan Pro Bono and Indigenous People In a pro bono case that has drawn national attention, Robins Kaplan sued the federal government on behalf of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services closed the only emergency room on the Rosebud Reservation. On behalf of the Tribe, Robins Kaplan attorneys argued that the closure of the emergency room violated the federal government's treaty duty to provide the Tribe with adequate health care services.

Listen to how Robins Kaplan got involved, and how they won the case for the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
Bikes have always been an affordable and healthy option for getting around, especially for urban Native Americans. You just need to build in a little extra time and effort in order to get where you're going. There's more incentive now than ever to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. The Navajo Nation has a reservation-wide program to encourage bike riding. They're just one tribe capitalizing on the environmental, health, and tourism benefits of bikes. Today on Native America Calling, we catch up with Rezduro co-founder Adrian Herder (Diné); LaJuanda Stands And Looks Back (enrolled Rosebud Sioux Tribe member), tribal transportation planner; and Vanessa Bowen (Diné), product designer and cyclist.

Spotlight: Conversations From the Sioux Falls School District
In the first Spotlight episode of the 2022-2023 school year, Superintendent Stavem talks with Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA) and Chairperson for the Office of Indian Education, Anna Brokenleg. Anna has been with the Sioux Falls School District for over 13 years, where she started her career as a teacher at Hawthorne Elementary. She taught at Hawthorne for several years before transitioning to her current role. Anna now works with Očéti Šakówiŋ Owáuŋspe (OSO, formerly known as Native American Connections) teachers across the District to bolster Native American education – along with creating relationships with partners from across the Sioux Falls community to strengthen opportunities for Native American families. Over 10% of South Dakota's student population is Native American, which is the second highest population served after Caucasian students. While Native American education was once limited, the Sioux Falls School District has taken steps to increase Native American learning opportunities significantly over the years. The District now offers several Native American courses, including Languages of the Oceti Sakowin, throughout our District at all levels. Growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Anna attended Sioux Falls Public Schools for elementary, middle, and high school. She also traveled back and forth to Rosebud, where she is a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. These experiences taught her the importance of bridging the gap between cultures. Throughout the episode, she discusses why successful bi-cultural communication is essential for our District, along with the importance of offering courses rich in Native American history. “We are on the traditional homelands of the Oceiti Sakowin people, along with other tribal communities that were in this area as well through the course of history. I think it's really important we consider that and think about that education not just for our Native American students but for all the citizens of our state and what it means to really understand the place that they live, the history of where we all live, and what those implications are for our communities today.” Anna is an incredibly knowledgeable person focused on preserving the past but looking forward to the future. She is an integral person in our District, and you absolutely do not want to miss this episode!
“They love to kill people of color here.” Lynne Eagle FeatherPOLICE KILLING: Gabriel, Paul's brother, talks about Paul having a good heart, always laughing, always joking. The kind of person that would give his jacket off his back for homeless people. Gabriel talks about the last time he got to see Paul alive - which was 2 days prior to being killed by police. The last thing he was able to do was shake his hand and give his brother a hug. Paul's last words were, "I'll see you later. Gabriel responded back, "I love you brother." then begins to break down and cry. Paul's brother was moved so much that he took part in Native Lives Matter and traveled around the states protesting with other families in bringing solidarity to the community.

* The following is a portion of remarks as prepared for delivered by Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen during a visit to the Rosebud Reservation, home of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, in South Dakota on June 21, 2022. The text was provided by the Department of the Treasury. Thank you very much for that introduction. And President [Scott] Herman, thank you for your generosity and hospitality. It's great to be here. This is my first visit to Indian Country, and it's meaningful to me to see first-hand the beauty of the Rosebud Reservation and to hear about your Tribe's rich heritage. It's also been illuminating to listen to you discuss the deep challenges that you and Tribal nations around the country face, and hear your thoughts on how we can partner together to accelerate the economic recovery for all Tribal citizens. I've spent my entire career thinking about economic policy and how it can help people during hard times and create longer-term opportunities. I see a great deal that policies can do to support Tribal communities. Tribes are the backbone of local communities, and Tribal governments are often the largest employer of their citizens and residents in surrounding areas. Simply put, reservations can be centers of economic opportunity for millions of Tribal and non-Tribal members and they merit deep investment by the federal government and our private sector partners. Yet, despite the efforts by Tribal governments to develop their economies, significant inequities exist. Many have their roots in prior federal policy. According to the US Commission for Civil Rights' Broken Promises Report, over 25 percent of Native Americans live in poverty. In certain Tribes, over half of their citizens live in poverty. For Native Americans living on reservations, the unemployment rate is around 50 percent. Those numbers are unacceptably high. The last two years have been hard for everyone, but they've been especially difficult for Native American communities. Tribal communities have had some of the highest COVID mortality rates in the country, and the data shows that few suffered more than Native American workers and enterprises during the pandemic. In addition to the pain the pandemic caused Tribal families and communities, this disproportionate impact resulted in the loss of critical Tribal revenue that supports governmental services for Tribal citizens in need. The American Rescue Plan, signed by President Biden in March 2021, provided much-needed relief, injecting billions of dollars into Tribal communities across the country. This legislation has led to a historic investment in Indian Country. Our flagship program, the Fiscal Recovery Funds, provided $20 billion to Tribal governments to help fight the pandemic and help Tribal households and businesses recover. Tribes across the country, including right here, used these funds for vaccination efforts to protect their Tribal citizens. Some places – like Rosebud – are using the funds for affordable housing projects. Others, such as the Quechan Indian Tribe, are providing assistance to Tribal members who own small businesses that have been negatively affected by COVID‐19. To date, 99% of this fund has been distributed, benefitting 2.6 million Tribal citizens across the U.S. Other programs have also helped Tribal nations recover. Take the Emergency Rental Assistance program. Tribal citizens faced acute rental challenges pre-pandemic, and these conditions rapidly worsened after March 2020. This program allocated $800 million to Tribes to help prevent evictions and keep Tribal citizens safely and stably housed. Early reports show that thousands of low-income Tribal citizens have received housing assistance across Tribal nations. Here, Rosebud has spent $6.3 million to serve 700 low-income households in need of emergency rental assistance.

Once unmarked burial sites are found at residential school sites, Indigenous communities will work to bring home the remains of the lost children. It's a long, difficult process — but it's underway in some parts of the United States. The CBC's Wawmeesh Hamilton visited one reservation that has brought some remains home: the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota. He tells host Matt Galloway more.
Federal judge finds Native Americans Denied Voter Registration Opportunities by State of SDToday's Links: Articles: Court Rules That South Dakota Failed To Offer Adequate Voter Registration, Litigation: SD Voter Registration, South Dakota ruled noncompliant with federal voter law, The Federal Court's Ruling Ways to get involved: Native American Rights Fund, Four DirectionsYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.A partial ruling on an important voting rights case was announced last week, finding the State of South Dakota in violation of the National Voter Registration Act. The U.S. District Court found that the state had multiple violations, among them the inadequate implementation of voter registration locations which particularly affected tribal areas.In September 2020, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, the Oglala Sioux Tribe, a voting rights organization and individual voters sued the state and its election officials arguing the state didn't offer voter registration options at motor vehicle agencies or state-run public assistance offices as required by the National Voter Registration Act.Jacqueline De León, a staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund, said in a statement, “We documented Native American residents routinely being underserved by the state of South Dakota when it came to voter registration. Native Americans are not being offered the voter registration opportunities they are entitled to under law. We told the state that there was a problem, but they did not fix it. Apparently they did not see the disenfranchisement of Native voters and the silencing of Native voices as an important issue. We do.”The federal judge agreed, ruling that the state did not offer voter registration at some motor vehicle and public assistance locations as required by the federal law, and hadn't properly trained employees. Several other parts of the suit are still in litigation. There's more on this lawsuit and a link to the Native American Rights Fund and voting rights group Four Directions at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org. For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.

And so I was asking around like what I could do, where I could go, and I knew I wanted to come home for the summer, but I just didn't know where, where to be placed. So then someone made the connections with Mike [Mike Prate, Development Director of the Sicangu CDC and former FSI Director] and Mike was like, yeah, sure, come on.

In today's episode, Matte talks Deanna Eaglefeather, a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe who lives with her husband and four kids on a homesite east of Mission, SD on the Rosebud Reservation. Deanna shares how and why she made her way home to Rosebud after growing up in the Twin Cities, how she became interested in food sovereignty, growing food, and harvesting the wild foods of the prairie, some of her family's future plans for their homesite, and some tips for tapping boxelder (a species of maple) trees for sap to make syrup right here on the prairie.

While you're listening, we have a favor to ask. The Food Sovereignty Initiative is currently doing surveys to help us understand the experience our community members have around food, so that we can work towards building a more inclusive and equitable food system where everyone has access to healthy, fresh, local foods. Respondents will be entered into a drawing for cash prizes, with the chance to win up to $500. If you're interested, head over to our Facebook page, Sicangu Community Development Corporation, for more information and to access the survey. And now, back to the show. (Survey available here.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Rosebud Sioux Tribe v. United States
Achieving Education Equity Championing Indigenous students to be successful in school systems starts with school curriculums – telling the accurate history of the United States – and leadership that represents the Indigenous Americans they serve. Schools need to create spaces where Indigenous students can be unapologetically Indigenous by building immersion units and hiring Indigenous teachers. Most importantly, Native leaders, educators, and students need to be involved in each step of the process. Education Today The US education system was built to eliminate the Indigenous, and curriculum choice continues to perpetuate the silencing and erasure of Indigenous history. As a result, Native students are often subjected to discrimination by white teachers and administrators, and suffer high disciplinary rates. Native students in South Dakota today have one of the lowest achievement rates, graduation rates, and even mobility rates. Though they add up to about 10% of South Dakota public school students, only 1.6% of staff is Indigenous. History Starting in 1868, Western education was imposed on Native Americans. Children were forcibly taken and put in boarding schools. Native elders refer to this now-abandoned practice as the "severing of the sacred loop." The goal was to "tolerate" or assimilate Indigenous students, removing them from their cultures and ways of life. Trauma has been the biggest repercussion of the boarding school movement, and the current education system has failed the Indigenous for generations.

In his first day in office, President Joe Biden revoked the permit for the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline which would’ve transported crude oil from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf Coast. Indigenous environmental rights groups and some tribes along the pipeline route, like the Fort Belknap Indian Community and Rosebud Sioux Tribe, praise the move and are hopeful that a new administration will usher in a change in climate and energy policy making. What does a halt on the Keystone LX Pipeline mean for the environment and the future of extractive industry in and around Native land?

In this episode, Matte Wilson from the Sicangu Food Sovereignty Initiative chats with Jimmy Doyle, Bison Manager of the Wolakota Buffalo Range. The Wolakota Buffalo Range is a collaboration between REDCO (the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation, the economic development arm of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe), the World Wildlife Fund, and other private and public organizations and agencies across the United States. Located on 28,000 contiguous acres on the southeast corner of the Rosebud Reservation, the range will be home to the largest Native-managed bison herd in the world once it is fully stocked. Jimmy shares a bit about how the project came to be, what it's like to manage a bison herd with the goal of regenerating degraded prairie land, and how this project will play a role in rekindling the connection between bison and the Lakota peoples.

This is Matte Wilson, and today our topic is going to be about the Wolakota Buffalo Project, which will soon be the world's largest indigenous managed Buffalo herd in the world today. Our guest is Jimmy Doyle. Jimmy, do you want to introduce yourself? Jimmy I am the buffalo Range Manager for the Wolakota Project for REDCO here on the Rosebud Reservation. Matte Awesome. So Jimmy, tell me a little bit about Wolakota; what organizations have been involved in this project and how long has the project been in development? Jimmy You know that's a good question. As far as how long it's been in development, it all kinda started before I came on board, but I'd say it's been well over a year in the making, you know, as far as getting all of the approval and funding in place. And it's been a partnership in every sense. I'm sure I'll miss some of the people who've been involved in this, but, you know, REDCO of course is spearheading the efforts on the ground out here, but we have a lot of different partners who have helped make it a reality.

Sierra lives in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge reservation. As a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation, Sierra believes that "water is life." But, the Lakota must fight for this basic resource. On this episode of AMDG, guest host MegAnne Liebsch talks to Paisley Sierra about her community's battle for land and water rights. We also hear from key Jesuit partners on the frontlines of this fight, including President of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Rodney Bordeaux, Fr. Peter Bisson, SJ, and Sr. Priscilla Solomon, CSJ and Ojibway First Nations. Interested in how the Jesuits are working for environmental justice across the world?

Help us get to know you better! Please fill out our survey CONTENT SEGMENTS: Why is it that money makes people who seem to be fair-minded, turn into something completely unrecognizable to most of their supporters? The Mayor of DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser was once against the use of the name “redskins” when discussing the Washington football team. Now that she is trying to get the team to return to Washington DC, she is more than happy to use the name, “redskins” to cozy up to the team’s owner, Dan Snyder. I guess money does have an influence on those who have no “skin” in the game. Here is the article where she professes to NOT using the term "Redskins" to describe the Washington NFL Team: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2015/05/11/washington-mayor-muriel-bowser-says-she-doesnt-use-redskins-because-its-offensive-to-many-people/ Here is latest article where now (apparently due to the motivation of MONEY...she know feels it's ok to use the offensive name: http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/politics/DC-Mayor-Muriel-Bowser-Saying-Redskins-Again-303363151.html The Washington post also professes to have conducted a poll of 500 Native Americans asking them if the Washington Team name is racist. They "Claim" that their poll is on the up and up as the result they posted states that 9 out of 10 Native Americans do NOT find the name offensive: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/new-poll-finds-9-in-10-native-americans-arent-offended-by-redskins-name/2016/05/18/3ea11cfa-161a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html Update on Carlisle story: Tribes Hear Promise of Cooperation from Army in Requests to Bring Children Home from Carlisle On May 10th, several Tribes met with the Department of Defense in Rosebud, SD to discuss the return of at least 13 children buried at Carlisle Indian School. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the Northern Arapaho spurred the meeting with formal requests for repatriation of their relatives; however, other tribes with children buried at Carlisle came to the meeting about repatriation including the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Oglala Nation, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, Cheyenne River, and the Northern Cheyenne.

Hillary Clinton's Native Adviser, Holly Cook Macarro is Wife of a TYRANT, Who Harms Native Americans. Summary: Over Ten Thousand Native Americans have been harmed by their own tribal leaders and they look for justice. Is Hillary Clinton the right president for them? We already KNOW that Trump is not right for America. With her choice for Native American advisor, now we see why her "HONEST and Trustworthy" poll numbers are so low. Her Native American Adviser is none other that lobbyist Holly Cook Macarro, who supported her husband's efforts to steal water from Temecula Indian Reservation allottees, going so far as to write a bill doing just that. Mrs. Macarro's husband, under his tenure as Chairman of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians in Temecula, California, there have been numerous gross violations of human and civil rights committed against tribal members. As a result, over 300 tribal members, many elders and children, have been stripped of their tribal citizenship. Many hundred more eligible tribal members have been denied enrollment with the tribe as well. The results of the gross human and civil rights violations did not stop at dis-enrollment, as each victim was stripped of voting rights, healthcare, education, and elder benefits/assistance. Full story here: http://www.originalpechanga.com/2016/04/hillary-clintons-native-adviser-holly.html Comments on this finding: A. Nonymous said... Isn't she Filipino? WTF does she know about Native issues, other than being married to a tiny Native dictator? Reinstatement_Restitution said... It is clearly a token effort to show interest in Indian issues. To the Clinton campaign Indian issues mean very little otherwise, she would have retained a more respected advisor. Kumeyaay Queen said... "There Corruption will fail". Ther foundation is money and not the Spiritual creator. "The earth will Cry for many days "and their ignorance will be known when the Capital is Charged with fire and energy. Close of the show.
