Podcast appearances and mentions of seneca nation

(May 21, 2025) A hill in the Adirondacks has been renamed to honor a family of 19th-century Black settlers; Gov. Kathy Hochul called the residential boarding school system "sanctioned ethnic cleansing" when she apologized to the Seneca Nation yesterday; and North Words host Mitch Teich speaks with former Adirondack Life Magazine editor Chris Shaw about his new Cold War spy novel inspired by the 1980 Winter Olympics titled "The Manager."

(May 21, 2025) In the 19th century, a hill in the Adirondacks was named after the settlers who lived nearby. But because they were Black, the hill was named for their race, not their family. Last weekend, that historical injustice was undone. It's now called Murry Hill. Also: Gov. Hochul called the residential boarding school system "sanctioned ethnic cleansing" when she apologized to the Seneca Nation yesterday.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports New York's Governor apologizes to the Senaca Nation for the state's role in boarding school abuse.

What does it take to preserve a language? It's a question Jamie Jacobs, a member of the Seneca Nation, has worked to answer over years. He has teamed up with university researchers to use technology to revive the Seneca language from historical texts written by Jesuit priests. Guest host Noelle Evans has reported extensively on his work. This hour, she and her guests explore the process of cultural preservation. In studio: Jamie Jacobs (Tonawanda Seneca, Turtle Clan), managing curator of the Rock Foundation collections at the Rochester Museum and Science Center Juliee Decker, professor and co-director of the cultural heritage imaging lab at Rochester Institute of Technology

"Indigenous Relationships to Fire" Jade Haumann's presentation on 4/22/2025 at The Harley School challenges the dominant fire narrative, revealing historical injustices and advocating for the inclusion of Indigenous ecological and cultural practices, while illuminating how our very language shapes our perception of fire, especially in the face of climate change. The program begins at 6:30 and is free and open to the public.

Renowned artist Marie Watt, a proud member of the Seneca Nation, invites us into her vibrant world of Indigenous art, where tradition meets innovation. With an extraordinary mix of text, textiles, beadwork, sculptures, and neon, Marie shares her journey from her early days at Willamette University to her transformative experiences at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Her art is a profound reflection of her Seneca identity, especially through the symbolic use of blankets, deeply rooted in her cultural heritage and personal narrative. Marie offers insights into the communal traditions reflected in her art, drawing from her experiences within the urban Indian community of the Pacific Northwest.Join us as we uncover the magic behind Marie's sewing circles, a practice that blossomed from necessity into a rich community-building exercise. These gatherings brim with storytelling and intergenerational exchange, emphasizing the connection between traditional beadwork and modern neon as evolving storytelling mediums. The episode also navigates the contemporary landscape of Indigenous art in prestigious collections, with language playing a crucial role in Marie's work. Themes such as "turtle," "island," and "companion species" challenge us to reconsider our relationships with nature, while cultural narratives and Marvin Gaye's music inspire reflections on motherhood and community. Marie's narrative beautifully intertwines language and art, reshaping how we perceive familial and communal ties.

This may be my most comprehensive explanation on just what Native people, particularly the Senecas, have faced with casino gaming under IGRA.

President Donald Trump's sudden freeze on federal grants rattled tribes and Native American organizations that depend on those funds. His just-as-sudden retreat is little reassurance to those institutions, some of whom are preparing for a worst-case future for funding. A prime target for President Trump's directives is anything associated with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. That has implications for everything from Native pre-school students to contractors. Organizations in Los Angeles that work with Native urban residents are assessing the damage after the recent fires and how to look ahead to future threats. We'll get updates on recent fast-moving news that affects Native Americans. GUESTS President J.C. Seneca (Seneca Nation) Aaron Payment (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), tribal councilman and former chairperson for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Pamela Villaseñor (Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians), executive director of Pukúu Cultural Community Services Hope Craig-Corlew (Muscogee Nation), board chairwoman and executive advisory chair of the United American Indian Involvement

It's getting harder to stay ahead of cyber criminals. Tribes and tribal businesses are among the entities facing growing security threats. Some have had to pay large sums and shut down their network operations in response to cyber attacks. The newest report from Experian notes an increasing number of attacks and foresees a rise in younger hackers equipped with sophisticated AI technology. Organized foreign criminals are constantly hunting for security weaknesses to steal people's personal information. The threat requires a response in know-how and financial resources. We'll find out what's happening behind the scenes as cyber security experts work to protect your data. GUESTS Renita DiStefano (Seneca Nation), president and CEO of Second Derivative, LLC Brandon Benallie (Diné), cybersecurity expert Shane Hill (Oneida Nation of Wisconsin), manager of cybersecurity for the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin

Good pay and a strong job demand are among the factors that make the information technology industry an promising career choice. But a study by the Kapor Center shows Native Americans are significantly underrepresented in the IT workforce. The divide is even wider for Native women. Starting early — offering computer science instruction in high schools — is one way IT advocates say will move the statistics in the right direction. We'll talk about that and why Native IT experts are needed. GUESTS Renita DiStefano (Seneca Nation), president and CEO of Second Derivative, LLC Gary Burnette (Cheroenhaka Nottoway), current board chair for AISES and vice president of advisory consulting at Kyndryl Richard Chance (Cherokee Nation), CEO and founder of First Americans Marketplace Exchange (FAME) Rebecca Fisher (Little Travers Bay Bands of Odawa Indians), account executive at Bulletproof (a GLI company)

This year's Seneca election is poised to produce an administration that opposes revenue sharing and will no longer lie down for NYS.

There is a flip side to the narrative about the cultural richness that Spanish colonists brought to California. Likewise, the discovery of gold at Sutters Mill in 1848 did more than just spark the largest settler migration in the country's history. In both cases, the damage to the lives and cultures of the state's Indigenous populations was profound. At the time, there were far more Indigenous people than the Spanish or European-descended Americans. In its effort to provide Native-led historical instruction, the National Museum of the American Indian has developed curricula that provides perspective about the people who were there long before anyone else. We'll learn about NMAI's educational goal and how it's being used. GUESTS Irene Kearns (citizen of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria), program manager for Native Knowledge 360 at the National Museum of the American Indian Aaron Golding (Seneca Nation), co-chair of the education committee for the Chicago American Indian Collaborative and senior program administrator at the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University Maria DesJarlait (Arikara from MHA Nation and Ojibwe from the Red Lake Nation), education presenter, children's author, and teacher Melissa Kiesewetter, vice chair of the Native American Heritage Fund in Michigan

This week, we have a special show about Indigenous people, land, water, and culture. Our first story looks at how the pawpaw, a fruit that mainly grows in the eastern US, continues to live in the memories and language of Indigenous people forced to move west. Then, we talk with an Indigenous scientist about her book that contrasts conservation science with Indigenous knowledge about the natural world. Plus, a paddler from the Seneca Nation takes a 300-mile journey down the Allegheny River to draw attention to protecting it and all waterways. 

The World Indigenous Suicide Prevention Conference is taking place in New York later this month, hosted by Seneca Nation. The conference was started by Ngāti Pikiao in 2016 and invites community organisations, advocates, and leaders to come together to discuss the challenges and solutions of suicide prevention for indigenous communities. Wire Host Caeden spoke to Quack Pirihi (Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Wai), founder of Mana Āniwaniwa, about why they're fundraising to go to the conference.

Before Europeans landed in North America, five Indigenous nations around what would become New York State came together to form the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. When the Europeans arrived, the French called them the Iroquois Confederacy, and the English called them the League of Five Nations. Those Five Nations were the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas; the Tuscaroras joined the Confederacy in 1722. Some founding father of the United States, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin admired the Haudenosaunee and incorporated their ideas into the U.S. Constitution. Despite that admiration, though, the United States government and the state government of New York did not always treat the Haudenosaunee with respect, and Haudenosaunee leaders had to navigate a difficult terrain in maintaining their sovereignty.  Today we're going to look at the relationship between the Haudenosaunee and the United States through the stories of four individuals: Red Jacket, Ely S. Parker, Harriet Maxwell Converse, and Arthur C. Parker. Joining me in this episode is Dr. John C. Winters, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi and author of The Amazing Iroquois and the Invention of the Empire State.

The Gaming Compact will expire before the end of the year and the Seneca Nation is miles away from an agreement with the State and even farther away from an agreement with their own people. The Seneca Nation attempted to stop revenue sharing in 2017 so why are they pushing for revenue sharing now?

The Washington Commanders' team president Jason Wright said of bringing the racial slur back to the team, "It is NOT being considered. Period!" Alrighty then! Let's be done with this conversation. But we're not done with the conversation/negotiation over a gaming compact between the Seneca Nation and New York State; not by a long shot. And the current compact is set to expire on December 9, 2023. So what does that mean?

This week's guest is Botanical Artist, teacher and exhibition organizer, Carol Woodin. Carol was born in 1956 in Salamanca, Upstate New York inside the Allegany Indian Reservation, one of two governed by the Seneca Nation of New York. Her father James was a construction worker and her mother June, a library clerk who also enjoyed oil painting and playing the piano. Carol is the middle of six children with four brothers and one sister. Her childhood was one of making her own fun outdoors and with sketchbook in hand she pursued an early interest for art. At first this would be still life and landscape paintings until an introduction to orchids became a passion and one that developed into a level of expertise she did not plan on. In fact, she never wanted to be a botanical artist; her foundation for illustration started in high school and then at the Williamsport Area Community College (now known as the Pennsylvania College of Technology) as a technical illustrator where she was one woman amongst 50 men. But before she could make art her career, Carol spent time as a draftsman, surveyor's cartographer, UPS manager and for three years a tractor-trailer driver. In 2016, she married Paul Harwood who is also a painter and gardener. For the past 30 years Carol has focused exclusively on botanical art; as a painter, teacher and exhibition organizer. Most recently her work has been shown at Jonathan Cooper Gallery, London; Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC; Shirley Sherwood Gallery, Kew, UK: UBS Galleries and Newhouse Galleries in New York; Museum de Zwarte Tulp, in the Netherlands; and the Marciana Library, in Venice, Italy. Her work is also in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the Americas and Europe. Carol was recently invited to contribute to the Grootbos Florilegium, a project to document and raise awareness of the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa. In 1995 Carol received a Gold Medal from the Royal Horticultural Society for her watercolors of Paphiopedilum orchids, and was the recipient of the 1998 “Bouchier ASBA Award for Excellence” from the American Society of Botanical Artists. In 2013 she received the first Lankester Award for Orchid Art in Cartago, Costa Rica and in 2016, the Orchid Digest Medal of Honor. Carol lives in Catskill, New York where she also cultivates her own flora and fauna.Carol's favorite contemporary artists:Tanya Marcuse (contemporary photographer)Rosie Sanders (botanical artist)Jean Emmons (botanical artist)Asuka Hishiki (botanical artist)Mieko Ishikawa (botanical artist)Katie Whipple (oil painter)Andrea Kowch (oil painter)Playlist:Bill Staines- Travelling Shoes Les Paul and his Trio – It's only a Paper Moon (That Crazy Rhythm) instrumental Lorraine Hunt Lieberson Bach: Contatas BMV 82 and 199 Mike and Ruthy The Farmer (Bright as You Can) Dianne Reeves – NinePodcast: In Defense of PlantsBooks: Anne Cleeves' Vera series Mick Herron's Slow Horses series Ron Chernow's historical biographies (Hamilton, J.D.

When on April 9, 1865, Ulysses S Grant received the surrender of Robert E Lee, one of the staff officers who accompanied him was Ely S. Parker.  He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Union Army, an engineer, and a friend of Grants from Galena, Illinois. But he was also a member of the Wolf Clan of the Seneca, one of the Six Nations of the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee. And not only was he a member, but indeed the Sachem of the Six Nations. So it was that a man who was not actually a citizen of the United States drafte d the official copy of the terms of surrender which Grant and Lee signed. Parker was one in a lineage of people who shaped the modern conception of the Six Nations. He was preceded by his uncle Red Jacket, and succeeded by his friend and adopted Seneca tribe member Harriet Converse, and his nephew Arthur Parker.  All of them shaped a history of what Arthur Parker– in a ten-volume unpublished work–called “the amazing Iroquois “. John C. Winters describes their story in his new book The Amazing Iroquois and the Invention of the Empire State. He is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi.  For Further Investigation The most recent mention of the Haudenosaunee on the podcast was in my conversation with Dean Snow, an eminent archaeologist who has excavated numerous Haudenosaunee sites in New York State and beyond. An important conversation on reintegrating Native American history into a broader narrative was with Jim Horn, when we had a conversation about the great chieftain Opechancanough. And self-representation by native leaders was the focus of an old conversation with my colleague Jane Simonsen, way back in Episode 58: What Black Hawk Wore "Red Jacket's Peace Medal returned to Seneca Nation after 116 years at Buffalo museum" Seneca-Iroquois National Museum Arthur Parker, Seneca Myths and Folktales Letter from Ely S. Parker to Harriet Converse   Al: So throughout the book, you play around with this idea of Iroquois exceptionalism. If my old [00:02:00] professor, David Hollinger, was on the podcast, he would immediately protest that American exceptionalism is wrongly used. It was invented by Stalin or the head of the Communist Party or something like that. But we won't get into that. You're enjoying playing around with Iroquois versus American exceptionalism, but defining our terms, what is Iroquois exceptionalism? I trust that it's not that Iroquois lacked a feudal class so that therefore their approach to post capitalism or socialism is different. John: No. No, not quite. What at this notion of Iroquois exceptionalism is of course at the heart of the book, but it's an invented category though, similarly, so it is really Capturing the idea that the Iroquois have this unique place in American history. If you're walking down the street in New York City or you're moving through New York State and you ask people what do you know of the Iroquois? Or have you heard of the Iroquois? The responses that [00:03:00] often spring to mind are these exceptional things like the Skywalkers, right? The Iroquoian steel workers most of them Mohawks, who are building the Empire State Building, and basically New York City's skyline, not only using Iroquoian mussel, but also Iroquoian steel. Some of them who have more like anthropological interests and maybe political theoretical interests are really interested in this idea that the Iroquois in effect invented modern American women's. Rights because as a matrilineal society, the Iroquois had this or granted women this extraordinary and exceptional power. So during the mid 19th through the early 20th century, we see lots of these suffrage reformers turn to the, I Iroquois to say, if we America, the United States, this progressive white nation can't [00:04:00] even do the same thing that these unquote Savage Indian are. Na, sa quote unquote, Savage Indian neighbors are doing and granting women equal repres...

There are always a lot of issues facing Native people and many of them tie directly back to our identity and distinction and the battle against assimilation. I continue to speak on the Native mascot issue but there is a growing list of topics that are beating at our doors. The SCOTUS is about to rule on a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act in "Haaland v Brackeen." This case challenges whether we are merely an inferior race of Americans rather than a distinct, autonomous people. A new gaming compact is set for debate and approval with the Seneca Nation and New York State. Another sellout and payoff to the State? We'll cover that. And an on-going battle over the New York State Thruway as it cuts through the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation is a show coming soon.

A small section of the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90)crosses through the Seneca Territory of Cattaraugus. The Seneca Nation has been assessing payments due to them from tolls collected by the State and argues the State owes them over $600,000,000. Grace Burich joins me with her father Professor Keith Burich to talk about her research project on the NYS Thruway dispute.

Did you know Disney World doesn't use pesticides? If they don't need them, your garden doesn't either. Hope Flanagan, member of the Seneca Nation of Indians, and Community Outreach and Cultural Teacher for Dream of Wild Health joins us to discuss how they farm without pesticides. She provides a Native perspective on our relationship with insects and provides some strategies we can use in our gardens. 

If you've been following my herbal offerings for even a short time, you know that I'm not about focusing on fear. While some alternative health practitioners rally around toxins and pollutants, I'd rather focus on joy and the things that I do have control over. But unfortunately, environmental contaminants do exist, and we can't simply ignore them away. That's why I'm especially grateful to Sarah Sorci for coming on the show. She has taken it on to research important contamination issues for gardeners and foragers, and then shares that information in a way that's based on empowerment rather than fear. (Love that!)By the end of this episode, here's just a sprinkling of what you'll know:► As a forager, how can you navigate effectively around contamination concerns?► How can you address it if your garden soil has contaminants?► How can you navigate conversations with neighbors about using herbicides or pesticides on their property?► What simple and practical safety tips can you implement today when using your garden hose? (Don't forget to download your handout from Sarah!)Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “We should all have access to being able to harvest clean and safe food and medicine, whether from our gardens or from our local communities. And I wanted to create a location where gardeners and foragers could find some answers to these [safety] questions in one easy location.”If you're not already familiar with Sarah, she is an herbal educator, writer, and the founder of Sweet Flag Herbs. She loves supporting folks who seek meaning, empowerment, and environmental sustainability by connecting with plants.Through her writing project, A Nourishing Harvest, Sarah explores environmental contamination issues that affect gardeners and foragers, translating scientific data into practical and approachable free articles. She also creates beautiful educational boxes that facilitate ancestral connection by way of the plant world. Sarah has offered hundreds of classes and plant walks throughout Western New York and beyond.Sarah came to herbalism by way of an Environmental Studies degree, farm work, and offering therapeutic gardening programming. She's a 2014 graduate of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine's Holistic Herbalism program, and she's taken clinical herbalism classes with the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine. Sarah is grateful to the unnamed elders, foragers, and tenders who have contributed to our collective herbal knowledge.Sarah lives and gardens with her partner in Chautauqua County, NY, homeland of the Seneca Nation of Indians (sni.org).If you'd like to hear more from Sarah, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get easy links for her website and social media.

Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce speaks with Edward Koban (Mohawk), NAMA music director; Strong Buffalo (Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota), NAMA winner of the Best Duo/Group award for Buffalo Weavers; Jacob Faithful (Frog Lake Cree First Nation), head singer of the Young Spirit; Rex Lyons (member of the Onondaga Nation), founding member of the Ripcords; and Brett Maybee (Seneca Nation), producer and host of Gaënö'.

There's a press for more tenant rights in the city of Buffalo . Also a profile of the running mates on the ticket in the New York State Governor's race. Also Ricky Armstrong Sr. has been elected President of the Seneca Nation, and today's lockdown at the Walden Galleria is only a drill.

Oct. 15, 2022 - This summer marked the 20th anniversary of the gaming compact struck between the Seneca Nation and New York, so we're looking back at the deal with Matthew Pagels, president of the nation, and considering what the Native American tribe is looking for in a future deal.

This week, we have a special show about Indigenous people, land, water, and culture. Our first story looks at how the pawpaw, a fruit that mainly grows in the eastern US, continues to live in the memories and language of Indigenous people forced to move west. Then, we talk with an Indigenous scientist about her new book that contrasts conservation science with Indigenous knowledge about the natural world. Plus, a paddler from the Seneca Nation takes a 300-mile journey down the Allegheny River to draw attention to protecting it and all waterways. 

The mass shootings in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX are a shock to our collective sense of security. In addition to those two high-profile incidents, the Gun Violence Archive lists at least 14 shootings with four or more victims in the U.S. just over the Memorial Day weekend. Solutions for such violence seem beyond the reach of law enforcement officials and elected leaders. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce asks Native experts about ways to approach the prevention and healing of violence with Dr. Mark Standing Eagle Baez (Mohawk, Pawnee, Coahuiltecan, and Mexican), assistant professor of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Bemidji State University; Leslie Logan (Seneca), founding member of the Mothers of the Seneca Nation and contributing writer for Indian Country Today; and Lynette Stant (Diné), 3rd grade teacher at Salt River Elementary School and 2020 Arizona Teacher of the Year.
