London and Ibiza based singer and songwriter Nick Mulvey has always been immersed in the world of music. Before launching his solo career in 2012, Nick gathered a treasure trove of musical experiences. He studied music and art in Havana, Cuba, and was an integral part of the Mercury Award-nominated Portico Quartet. Nick's debut album, "First Mind" was a remarkable debut that left a lasting impression on all who listened. Since then, he has continued to create music and tour whenever possible, balancing his roles as a devoted dad and a beloved musician. In Nick's short cinematic film, which expands on the themes of "Begin Again," he says: "We are living through an incredible shift. The old ways are dying, right before our very eyes."

Tiokasin is back with us this week and doing much better!Rakel is 40 years old and was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit in northeastern Greenland. When she was 4 years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up she always heard the stories about how they came from a shamanic family, and she always asked deep questions to what it meant for their descendants. In 2012, she started her journey to actually learn about how her ancestors lived and saw the universe as a whole. She left society and went into nature and learned what nature, Silap aappaa (the other worlds) had to teach us. In 2019, she received her healer name, which is Rakel, and was accepted into the ancient lineage as an angakoq. Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar,” says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples' cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker. Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands. Rocky Mountain PBS has produced a fine documentary in which Dr. Tinker is featured. The documentary has won a regional Emmy award (a Heartland Emmy): A new chapter: Coming to terms with a gruesome legacy (rmpbs.org)Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio KingstonTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorKevin Richardson, Podcast EditorMusic Selections:1.

"First Voices Radio" is honored to welcome Paul Crane Tohlakai to the show. Paul was born on the Navajo Nation in Arizona in 1950 near Pinon. His life began not without a struggle. He almost succumbed to life threatening illness but survived to become a one of the last of his generation to experience life that others only dream of. Upon finishing high school and attending one year at a university, he decided that what he had to learn was not indoors and set out what would be a life of roaming free throughout North America and internationally, working as a ranch hand, construction carpenter, steel worker, fire fighter, and other jobs that would eventually play an instrumental role in contributing to his vast knowledge. Paul has a deep affinity for horses, which has been the driving force of his life, derived from his cultural tradition. In addition to growing up on horses' and working ranches, he has been a rodeo bronc rider, trainer, wild horses' gatherer, veterinarian helper and rodeo judge. He is also a reputed Native drum maker, offering his premier native drums through his company, Tohlakai Drums, which received numerous endorsements by top Native singers and drummers throughout Turtle Island. He has also led efforts to mobilize and bring to his community international people to gain intercultural experiences with tourism and sustainable practices. Paul makes his home now in Phoenix, Arizona, and also travels extensively as a lecturer on Native philosophy. As a respected Native elder throughout the world, his life continues to involve all who seek to empower their own spiritual growth through learning about being a human being again.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio KingstonTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorKevin Richardson, Podcast EditorMusic Selections:1.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse and guest Anne Keala Kelly discuss representation and take the new Disney film "Moana 2" as the jumping off point for their conversation. They talk about the film and what's wrong with it for multiple cultural, spiritual and political reasons, and the way Disney and Hollywood continue to exploit Indigenous peoples and their cultures and profit from it. Keala is a Kānaka Maoli award-winning documentary filmmaker, journalist, podcaster, writer and activist living on Hawai'i Island. Her works address the critical links between cultural, environmental and spiritual survival in the movement for Hawaiian self-determination, and Indigenous peoples' struggles for territorial and political autonomy. She is an outspoken advocate for Indigenous self-representation in mass media. Keala is the author of "Our Rights to Self-Determination: A Hawaiian Manifesto," which was published in 2022. For more information about Keala and her work, visit annekealakelly.com. For background: Keala published this 2016 column, "The Unflattering Cultural Poaching of 'Moana' is a Threat" about the first Moana film and everything she wrote back then still rings true today: https://bit.ly/402Mp0a Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Orlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections: 1.

FROM THE “FIRST VOICES RADIO” ARCHIVE. Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talked with Rick Hill Sr., a citizen of the Beaver Clan of the Tuscarora Nation of the Haudenosaunee at Grand River. Rick holds a Master's Degree in American Studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is the former Assistant Director for Public Programs, National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution; Museum Director, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, NM; and Assistant Professor, Native American Studies, SUNY Buffalo. He formerly served as Senior Project Coordinator of the Deyohahá:ge: Indigenous Knowledge Centre at Six Nations Polytechnic Institute, Ohsweken, Ontario. Rick is an interpretive specialist to develop exhibitions for the recently renovated Mohawk Institute, the oldest Indian residential school in Canada. He is the Indigenous Innovation Specialist at Mohawk College in Hamilton and serves as a Cultural Advisor to FNTI in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Tiokasin and Rick talk about the changes the U.S. Constitution and its state at the time and the original intention and lived experience of the Haudenosaunee Confederation. Their conversation, although it took place a number of years ago is still extremely relevant to today. “Right now, this country is in a state of change and what I believe were sacred to the leaders, the founding [colonial] fathers were these ideals and the laws that they did to come up with a partnership with the Native nations, is being ignored by this current generation of Americans. I think that we have to look back at that these were seriously sacred promises, legal promises made, and if you abuse the First People of the land, how do you really expect your great-grandchildren to grow up and be able to celebrate democracy that you herald? It's really about justice. I always say the Indians are the miners canary of American justice. How America treats the Native people, it's going to symbolic of what is forthcoming as to how they're going to treat the rest of the people.” — Rick Hill Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Karen Martinez (Mayan), Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections: 1.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes Edzi'u, a Tahltan and Tlingit artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Edzi'u is an innovative songwriter and composer who paints stories of the past, present and future with textures, elders' stories, words, and their ethereal voice. Edzi'u is the gentlest balance of hard and soft, a non-binary 2-spirit Indigiqueer femme, their strength of identity resonates in their music to create a fullness of fierce spirit combined with an elegant grace. Their new music is full of thick synths, drums dripping with reverb and a mix of a modern take on 80s and 90s sounds that blends the nostalgic essence of Stevie Nicks, the raw emotional depth of Sharon Van Etten, and the atmospheric electronic textures of DRAMA. The result is a sonic river of pain and beauty that sweetly soars into a singular, healing journey. Tiokasin talks with Edzi'u about their new EP, “Tunnel Vision,” a poignant exploration of the cruelty of heartbreak, the painful truth of mistreatment, and the radiant journey of resurgence. With vulnerability and fortitude, each track lingers with the listener like a cherished memory. Edzi'u invites listeners into an auditory sanctuary where music serves as both refuge and revelation. In this sacred space, reclamation of self stands as the most powerful act of all. Edzi'u and their artistry is a beacon of auntie joy for queer and Indigenous communities and beyond, embodying resilience, grace, and unapologetic authenticity.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes Marley Shebala back to the show. Marley Shebala, Diné and A:shiwi (or Zuni), is an investigative journalist, photographer, videographer and blogger. Marley talks about the continuing, alarming issue of transporting uranium waste across portions of the Navajo Nation, which already started several years ago. Without any notice, the transportation of uranium waste is taking place not only at Navajo Nation but also Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. This affects not only the Navajo Nation but also Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada so communities need to find out where this transportation route goes. If the sovereign Navajo Nation is not being notified about this route it's unlikely other communities (cities, towns and rural areas) are being notified about the transport of this waste through their communities and its dangers. People need to be aware of how uranium waste could contaminate people, roads, air, water, etc. (virtually everything). For years Marley has been covering the uranium issue on the 25,000 square-mile Navajo Nation. Most of the Navajo Nation has been contaminated by uranium. Many, may Navajo people have been suffering and continue to suffering from different cancers, children were and continue to be born with defects, etc. However, the US federal government thinks that depleted uranium can still be used: for weapons of war and by somehow turning uranium waste into a type of fuel that will be “clean” nuclear energy for household uses. This is a huge national, and global issue. There is a small group of Diné people traveling to DC at the end of September. They will be traveling in a bus and telling people along the way what they have gone through and asking others if they have also been poisoned and made sick by depleted uranium, too. For more background about today's discussion, please visit “Requiem for RECA (Radiation Exposure Compensation Act)” by Kathy Helms, who has been covering this issue for years: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/requiem-reca-kathy-helms-ohuvc/. Follow Marley on Facebook, where she will be posting information about the DC trip and the activities that will happen there (as well as covering Navajo Nation activities): https://www.facebook.com/marley.shebala. Additional important information about this issue and many others can be found on Marley's website: http://www.dineresourcesandinfocenter.org/ About Marley: In the Diné way, Marley Shebala is Tó'aheedlíinii (Water Flows Together clan), her mother's clan, and born for Cha'al (Frog clan), which is her father's clan. Her mom is from Lake Valley, New Mexico, which is in the eastern part of the Navajo Nation and next to Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Her father is from the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico. Her hometowns are Lake Valley and Zuni. “Marley Shebala's Notebook” is her website where she provides current news coverage of the Navajo government and Navajo communities on and off the Navajo Nation. She also produces Navajo Nation environmental news and political analysis of the Navajo government and legislative process. Marley hosted "Politics on the Navajo Nation," an internet news show. But due to unreliable WIFI on the Navajo Nation where she resides, the weekly news show was cancelled until she can raise funds to increase WiFi power at her residence. She is available for presentations on the benefits of a free and open press in Indian Country and how to achieve accurate and fair news coverage of the Navajo Nation and Indian Country. Marley works part-time at the Gallup Independent newspaper, which is headquartered in Gallup, New Mexico. She is the only reporter at the Gallup Independent Diné Bureau in Window Rock, Arizona, which covers the Navajo Nation. Before working for the Gallup Independent, she worked as the Navajo Times newspaper's' Senior Reporter specializing in investigative reporting on politics, domestic violence, law enforcement, veterans and the environment. She also covered a wide range of general interest stories. Her stories have won numerous awards from state and national organizations over the more than 30 years she has been in journalism.

Guest Host Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli) speaks with Dan Taulapapa McMullin — an artist and poet from Sāmoa i Sasa'e (American Samoa) and an expert on the subject of the colonization of Pacific cultures. Keala and Dan spend time talking about American exploitation via tiki bars, a subject that Dan explored in his film, “100 Tikis.” “100 Tikis” is a 45-minute film/video appropriation art piece, part of an ongoing installation of works on the intersection of tiki kitsch and indigenous sovereignty. “100 Tikis” looks at Hollywood, colonialism, gender, militarism, and activism, through films, cartoons, songs, paintings, photographs, television shows, tourist ads, military propaganda, pornography, tiki bars, activist videos, home movies, and social media. Dan's artist book “The Healer's Wound: A Queer Theirstory of Polynesia” (2022) was published by Pu'uhonua Society and Tropic Editions of Honolulu for HT22 the Hawai'i Triennial. Their artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Metropolitan Museum, De Young Museum, Musée du quai Branly, Auckland Art Gallery and Bishop Museum. Their film “Sinalela” (2001) won the 2002 Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival Best Short Film Award. “100 Tikis” was the opening night film selection of the 2016 Présence Autochtone in Montreal and was an Official Selection in the Fifo Tahiti Film Festival. Dan's art studio and writing practice is based in Muhheaconneock lands / Hudson, NY, where they live with their partner, and Lenape lands in Hopoghan Hackingh / Hoboken, NJ.

REPEAT SHOW. Tiokasin speaks with Dr. Paulette Steeves (Cree-Métis). Paulette is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Paulette argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Paulette has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University, she is currently an Associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology. Paulette has stated that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation transforming public consciousness and confronting and challenging racism. Long-standing academic denial of the deep Indigenous fosters racism and discrimination among the general or settler population.Re-writing Indigenous histories, framed through Indigenous knowledge, will create discussions that counter racism and discrimination. Dr. Steeve's book “The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas” was published in 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press.

Tiokasin is joined by two guests for the full hour. Hataałiinez Wheeler is a very modern kind of crooner: a pensive, deep-voiced troubadour whose serene surf-country songs tap into the hope and despondency of a new generation. The music he makes as Hataałii — a Navajo term that means “to sing,” a fitting diminutive of his given name — is at turns witty and world-weary, sunny but endearingly solipsistic. Albert Haskie is a software developer from the Navajo Nation. He is the creator of the app Adoone'é. Serving as the lead developer in the project, Albert has strived to uphold his culture and traditions as a Navajo/Diné. It is his deep-rooted belief that everyone should have access to the resources that preserve and celebrate their Navajo/Diné heritage. Albert finds great joy in tackling Navajo/Diné language and culture preservation in the 21st century. With Adoone'é he aims to contribute to his community and empower others to do the same. Albert says that “Together, we can foster a world where Navajo/Diné individuals can achieve fluency in the Navajo/Diné language.” Read. More about Hataałiinez Wheeler here: https://bit.ly/44LBdUI.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse's guest for the full hour on Sunday is Chief Arvol Looking Horse. Chief Looking Horse was born on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. His primary responsibility is serving as the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe – a role he was given at the age of twelve making him the youngest pipe keeper in Lakota history. As keeper of the sacred Pipe he also serves as the spiritual leader to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation and advocates for the restoration of the Lakota Nation's rights to the Black Hills—as guaranteed by the 1868 Laramie Treaty. Tiokasin and Chief Arvol Looking Horse talk about the white buffalo calf that was born in Yellowstone on June 4 and the significance of this birth to not only for the Lakota but other people and what it means to the world. “We knew in our ceremonies that something was going to happen (on June 4) because they say that when you follow the spirit, the spirit will meet you halfway... This is a very powerful time. All my life, I heard this in ceremony but I never thought my whole life that this was going to happen. I feel her (Mother Earth's) spirit is very strong and we need all people all over the world to stand with us and protect her. That's the message — when the white buffalo calf with black nose, eyes and hooves, many white animals will be born all over the world. The elders said we need to protect all the white animals being born. We need to protect the peace leaders because we're in a very powerful time right now that every person – to find peace within yourself and then peace to the world because what is happening is not good.” — Chief Arvol Looking Horse Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Karen Martinez (Mayan), Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections: 1.

From the FVR archives: Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with our friend Dr. Manuel Rozental for the entire hour. Dr. Manuel Rozental is a long-time Colombian activist, researcher and community organizer. Manuel has been involved with grassroots political organizing with youth, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural social movements for four decades. He is part of an initiative: Pueblos en Camino, Peoples on the Path, with a mandate to weave autonomies and resistance between peoples. Their discussion includes: international relationships, “Can Indigenous peoples be both Indigenous and capitalists?” (Answer: “No, because the same mentality that exploits other people and Mother Earth can only end up destroying everything…”) and an update on recent events and activities taking place in Abya Yala (South America). Manuel draws discussion points from the book, “As We've Always Done” by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer and artist. Finally, Manuel educates listeners about the plight of Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in solitary confinement in Turkey for over 25 years and has been cut off from the outside world. Öcalan's writings are inspiring intellectuals, free thinkers, scientists, workers, activists, artists, trade unionists, social movements, politicians and entire societies. Öcalan left Syria 25 years ago as a Kurdish leader in the wake of an international conspiracy and returned years later as a pioneer of a free, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and grassroots democratic society.

REPEAT SHOW. David Graeber and David Wengrow are the co-authors of "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021). "This is not a book. This is an intellectual feast. There is not a single chapter that does not (playfully) disrupt well-seated intellectual beliefs. It is deep, effortlessly iconoclastic, factually rigorous, and pleasurable to read." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Author, "The Black Swan." Tiokasin talks with co-author David Wengrow, a professor of comparative archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He is a visiting professor at New York University. He is the author of three books, including, "What Makes Civilization?" David has conducted archaeological fieldwork in various parts of Africa and the Middle East. Co-author David Graeber (d. 9/2/2020) was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. He was the author of "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" and "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory," and was a contributor to Harper's Magazine, The Guardian and The Baffler. An iconic thinker and renowned activist, his early efforts in Zuccotti Park made Occupy Wall Street an era-defining movement.

Tiokasin catches up with returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker for the full hour. Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse spends the hour with Steven Solomon, Sr., a lifelong Lummi fisherman and traditional knowledge holder of the reef net practice. “Reef net fishing is an ancient, sustainable salmon-harvesting technique created and perfected by the Lummi and other Coast Salish Indigenous people over a millennium. Rather than chasing the fish, this technique uses ropes to create an artificial reef that channels fish toward a net stretched between two anchored boats. Fishers observe the water and pull in the net at the right moment, intercepting salmon as they migrate from the Pacific Ocean to the Fraser River near present-day Washington state and British Columbia. Colonialism, government policies, habitat destruction, and declining salmon populations have separated tribes from this tradition. Today, only 12 reef net permits exist, with just one belonging to the Lummi Nation. Many tribal members hope to revive reef net fishing to restore their cultural identity and a sustainable salmon harvest but face difficulties balancing economic realities with preserving what the Lummi consider a sacred heritage.” — Liz Kimbrough, author, “Last of the reef netters: An Indigenous, sustainable salmon fishery,” Mongabay, Nov. 21, 2023: https://bit.ly/3IlGIk9 Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Karen Ramirez (Mayan), Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections: 1.
