(Rerelease from 2023) What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to have Kelly and John ruin it for you? Just kidding! We're not here to cancel Thanksgiving and we hope you have a lovely one. But holidays are weird things - we often celebrate them without really examining why, or how we arrived at the myths and rituals that emanate from their core. And Thanksgiving is, in many ways, our strangest holiday - a secular celebration that is at once also an aggressively religious one, built around a series of supposedly historical events that seem to have a lot of missing pieces when you start connecting the dots. It can also be a day that evokes painful memories for the indigenous population. To help us unpack what Thanksgiving is and what it is not, and to shed some light on how we came to celebrate this holiday as well as how important it is that we not let that celebration obscure our understanding of early American history and the genocide of the indigenous population, we asked historian David J. Silverman - author of This Land is Their Land - to join us.

A UC Berkeley study estimates there are about 38,000 acres of land owned by faith groups in California, an area roughly the size of Stockton, that are largely going unused. Some churches want to build affordable housing on that extra land— but building any kind of housing in California means jumping through a lot of hoops. Reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi finds out what it would take for houses of worship to house people in God's backyard.

SooJin and Hannah round out this 4-part series by talking with Hannah's cousin, Laura Holsen. Laura reflects on how she used to notice interracial couples and wonder what that experience must be like. Then she fell in love with and married someone from a different racial background! Laura's relationship with her spouse, Sunny, has greatly shifted her awareness around privilege and motivates her to do more within her spheres of influence. In her role as a clinical neuroscientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital - Harvard Medical School, Laura is actively learning about and implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion. We discuss how the field of psychiatry has a long way to go to become antiracist. Ultimately, this conversation inspires us to reconnect with our personal histories and respective ancestral healing practices in order to expand the ways in which we remedy illness, address trauma, and repair harm. Resources:Visions, IncGather  - documentary film on NetflixThis Land is Their Land  by David SilvermanMass General Brigham - United Against Racism: https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/who-we-are/united-against-racismDr. Camara Phyllis Jones: https://www.msm.edu/about_us/FacultyDirectory/CommunityHealthPreventiveMedicine/CamaraJones/index.phpDr. Tamarra James-Todd: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/tamarra-james-todd/National Institutes of Health DEI strategic plan: https://diversity.nih.gov/about-us/strategic-plan

In this episode I'm joined by Jane Castle - the daughter of trailblazing Australian filmmaker, Lilias Fraser. Castle's new documentary, When the Camera Stopped Rolling, tells the epic tale of her mother's extraordinary life, her fascinating career and their challenging relationship. Lilias Fraser was the first Australian to study at the National Film School of France who honed her skills on nation-building industrial documentaries of the 1960s, and in 1970 she made one of Australia's first land rights films, This is Their Land. When the Camera Stopped Rolling is a must-see documentary and Jane should be commended for such an honest and raw insight into her personal relationship with her mother. Jane is a multi-award-winnning filmmaker and cinematographer. She's shot films and documentaries and a tonne of music videos for artists like Prince, U2, Mary J Blige, Usher and INXS. Jane's directing work includes the award-winning short, Roadside Café and the SBS documentary Sixty Thousand Barrels. When the Camera Stopped Rolling is Jane's first feature documentary. Jane is so open during this interview. We discuss everything from Jane's childhood, being compared to her mother, her relationship with other members of her family and how they've responded to this film, and how the local film community reacted to her mother's death.

Join me for fascinating history lesson on the 400th Anniversary of the First Thanksgiving with Dr. David Silverman, author of “This Land is Their Land.”

Welcome to the Cattle Station Classroom In today's lesson, we're going to be learning about Personal Locator Beacons. It's something we all hope we'll never have to use, but unfortunately I do know a few people who have had to use theirs. But, what actually is the difference between a Personal Locator Beacon, and an EPIRB, and even those Spot trackers that some people have? Which one should you have and how do they actually work? Today I'm going to be speaking with Tony Crooke from GME. Since 1959 GME has been an Australian owned family company and remains the only Australian manufacturer of UHF CB radios, with their products designed, engineered, and manufactured in Sydney's North West. GME's products cover a range of recreational activities from fishing to 4WDing and touring, in addition to catering for heavy vehicles and agriculture. Their Land category encompasses a range of products, the main being UHF CB radios (both Fixed Mount and Hand Held), Antennas, Personal Locator Beacons and accessories.

Welcome to the Cattle Station Classroom In today's lesson, we're going to be learning about radio communication. A two-way radio is a fairly standard piece of equipment in the beef industry, and for the most part we simply dial in to a channel, press a button, and connect with someone at the other end. If fact, most people only ever use a small fraction of a two way radio's function. There are many different functions available depending on the type of unit, and then there's things like UHF, VHF, repeater towers, all the buttons and dials, and so much more.

Imagine this: building a pastoral lease from scratch. I’m talking about walking onto a piece of land that has never been managed or developed – no fences, no man-made waters, no roads – nothing. Sounds like something from the 1800’s right? A story of the settlers? Well, this actually happened in the late 1980s, when Chris Henggeler purchased a new pastoral lease in the east Kimberley. In this episode we find out how a Swiss backpacker ended up purchasing an Austrlalian cattle station, why there’s still no road access to Kachana over 30 years later, and about one mans mission to bring regenerative agriculture to the Kimberley.

Living remote can challenge you in many ways. Some people just flat out say “No, I couldn’t do it,” some people want to try it for a while and some people love the lifestyle.  The first time Meg lived on a cattle station when she was 18. She didn't work on another station until 10 years later - and realised she saw things quite differently as a 28 year old. In this episode Meg discusses some of the important things she has learnt over the years living remote which may help people that have been remote for a while or the newbies that maybe coming into the industry in a tough year. *** This podcast series is sponsored by the legends at Pioneer Water Tanks.

What really happened at “the first Thanksgiving”? In This Land is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving (Bloomsbury, 2019), historian David J. Silverman reveals the complex history surrounding the 1621 feast that every November many Americans associate with silver-buckled Pilgrim costumes, Squanto and Massasoit, and miraculous feats of friendship. Silverman bust these myths - and the many others - that skew American interpretations, understandings, and depictions of the Wampanoag peoples’ relationship with Plymouth colonists. This Land is Their Land painstakingly recounts the events leading up to and resulting from the Wampanoag-English alliance, and how the manipulation of this history continues to impact the present. Upon landing at Plymouth Rock four hundred years ago this November, English Separatists were swept up into the powerful currents of a dynamic indigenous world, populated with diverse peoples with diverse interests. Native figures such as Ousamequin, Tisquantum, Corbitant, Epenow, and others occupy center stage in This Land is Their Land, encouraging readers to forego stereotypical depictions of powerful Englishmen and passive Native peoples for a more truthful rendition of Anglo-Native interactions on and around present-day Cape Cod. Silverman draws on twenty years of research and work alongside Wampanoag linguists, historians, and educators in an effort to construct a more honest history of the now-famous Wampanoag-English encounter. Underlying this history is the present reality of Wampanoag peoples who continue to commemorate the last Thursday in November as their Day of Mourning. Illuminating the damages still wrought by colonization and colonial mythologies, This Land is Their Land will leave many readers with much to chew on at the Thanksgiving table.

Some years ago, Navajo author Evangeline Parsons Yazzie set out to bring readers closer to what it meant to be on what is known as the Navajo Long Walk. She decided to do that through a series of fictional stories that follow the lives of different Navajos and the events and people they encountered on the journey. We present the two final volumes in her four-part series “Her Captive, Her Love” & “Their Land, Their Love: The Return Home.” We invite you to take a look at this part of Native history with our July Book of the Month.

When Felicity "Flic" Brown decided to go traveling around Australia, she told her everyone she'd be back in two years. 25 years later she's become one of the most recognizable faces of the Kimberley community, and not yet made it back home. Flic's journey has taken her across a number of cattle stations in northern Australia and all the way to New York Fashion Week. In this episode, she shares how her experiences with life and death have led her to become the "Milliner on the Move" and create a life well off the beaten path.  This episode is sponsored by GME.

Ehrenreich's first book of satirical commentary, The Worst Years of Our Lives, about the Reagan era, was received with bestselling acclaim. The one problem was the title: couldn't some prophetic fact-checker have seen that the worst years were still to come? Here they are, the 200s, and in This Land is Their Land, Ehrenreich subjects them to the most biting and incisive satire of her career. Don't miss Ehrenreich's insightful wit in person! Ehrenreich, journalist, historian and social critic, is the author of 14 books, including New York Times bestsellers Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch as well as her latest, This Land is Their Land.

Best-selling author and social critic, Barbara Ehrenreich, discusses her new book "This Land is Their Land" and offers a progressive political perspective on current environmental and economic issues.

In 2020, only a pathologically cheerful individual could say that the United States is a nation in a state of health. Between the malady of the coronavirus and the affliction of divisive polarization, the current state of affairs puts a premium on the chance to talk with an accomplished historian of American attitudes toward health and disease. A professor at Boston College, Conevery Valencius teaches courses on environmental history and the history of science and medicine. In her book, The Health of the Country: How American Settlers Understood Themselves and Their Land, Professor Valencius uncovers a close tie between the ways that mid-nineteenth-century Americans understood the landscapes and communities where they settled, and the ways they thought about their own bodies. Her conversation with Patty Limerick did not deliver a comprehensive diagnosis of the nation's condition, but proposed new interpretations and raised insightful questions addressing ideas about health and disease that many Americans now take for granted. And matching up to local issues, Professor Valencius is currently working on a book about the science of induced seismology (a.k.a. earthquakes!) and hydraulic fracturing.
