Thomas is joined by educator, musician, activist, and creator of First Voices Radio, Tiokasin Ghosthorse. Tiokasin is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, and shares deep wisdom from the Lakota worldview, language, and traditions. He and Thomas explore ways for us to redefine our relationship with Mother Earth, moving away from a mindset of separation and domination towards one of interconnectedness, mutual becoming, and intuition. Tiokasin shares how we can be more in tune with Earth's natural rhythm to become more present in the now and more connected to the future. The Indigenous way of being involves an openness to seeing and feeling our ancestors—not just our human ancestors, but also the earth itself. Tiokasin stresses the need for us to de-center humans in order to reconnect with nature, and demonstrates how understanding the living Lakota language can affect a cultural mindset shift in that direction.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse joins Paratopia. We mean JOINS Paratopia. The next learning curve for all of us begins here. ''Let's de-colonize the aliens'' is a phrase Tiokasin used. This conversation is bookended with one of Jeff's ''alien'' experiences and Jer's exploration of the Hawaiian perspective on the ''supernatural,'' both of which speak to the need to not only look at mysterious phenomena differently, but also to change the nature of the one who looks. (originally aired: 04.26.2012)

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.

Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse goes one on one with The Jer to talk about his people, his childhood, and the uncensored history of America. This one is all about exploring the differences in thought processes as reflected by language, which circles around to how we misperceive First Nations cultures, their sense of what “prophesy”means, and even revelations about Star Nations. This episode is dense with knowledge and wisdom. If you identify with Ghosthorse, you're going to find yourself coming back to this episode for seconds and thirds. (originally aired: 03.22.2012)

In this TIMELESS episode, we hear from Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Nobel Prize nominated international speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth perspective. He is member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, with a long history in Indigenous activism as well as a master musician. He shares a lifechanging perspective on how we can understand the language of the earth and how she speaks and listens to us. We discover how learning to listen to earth leads us to true inner and outer peace. "The ​earth ​is ​listening ​to ​us ​first and ​if ​we ​do ​not ​​understand ​how ​the ​earth ​listens ​to ​us, ​then ​we ​will ​have ​a difficulty ​listening ​to ​the ​earth." Tiokasin Ghosthorse This week's timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in E107 with Tiokasin Ghosthorse on Earth Languages, Consciousness and Indigenous Intelligence entitled Walking Earth With The Gifts Of The Stars . We hope that hearing just this small part will give you space to contemplate, integrate and embody what you hear.   Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

To the landscape designer Edwina von Gal, gardening is much more than just seeding, planting, weeding, and watering; it's her life calling. Since starting her namesake firm in 1984 in East Hampton, on New York's Long Island, she has worked with, for, and/or alongside the likes of Calvin Klein, Larry Gagosian, Frank Gehry, Maya Lin, Annabelle Selldorf, Richard Serra, and Cindy Sherman, creating gardens that center on native species and engage in other nature-based land-care solutions. In 2008, von Gal founded the Azuero Earth Project in Panama to promote chemical-free reforestation with native trees on the Azuero Peninsula. Stemming out of this initiative, in 2013, she then founded the Perfect Earth Project to promote chemical-free, non-agricultural land management in the U.S. Her most recent effort, Two Thirds for the Birds, is a call-to-action to plant more native plants and eliminate pesticides, thus creating a greater food supply for birds.On the episode, she discusses the meditative qualities of gardening; reframing landscaping as “land care”; and why she sees herself not as a steward of land, but rather as a collaborator with it.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Edwina von Gal[15:32] William Cronon[15:32] Changes in the Land[15:32] Tiokasin Ghosthorse[24:04] Carl Sagan[24:04] The Demon-Haunted World[26:07] Perfect Earth Project[40:37] Two Thirds for the Birds[42:41] John Fitzpatrick[42:41] Cornell Lab of Ornithology[42:41] Merlin Bird ID[47:01] Garden Club of America[50:21] Diana Vreeland[51:09] Peter Sharp[51:09] Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center[54:46] Frank Gehry[54:46] Biomuseo[54:46] Bruce Mau[56:32] Azuero Earth Project[1:00:37] Doug Tallamy[1:02:01] Nature's Best Hope[1:05:12] The High Line[1:05:12] Brooklyn Bridge Park[1:05:12] The Battery Conservancy[1:05:12] Brooklyn Museum

“If we say Mitakuye Oyasin, we don't really mean all my relations. It's like, no, we're talking about what you can formulate into E = mc2 and beyond. It's beyond what you see. And that energy you don't see with these eyes, which only see a certain range of color and light refraction is what we are also understanding. Our body is, people would say the brain is...there is no disconnection. And so are we fully understanding or do we have a full spectrum perspective of what tools of the Earth really mean? Like a bird we think has no intelligence. It just flies here and flies there, right? But we also understand that that bird is also using the tools as the tools of the Earth correctly or properly when...what does that mean?Now, if you go deeper into Indigenous peoples, you can see the modernity and then so-called primitive people. You don't need to be in contact, in relationship, and in communication, have a language with all other life-technology taking us away from Earth because we feel like we're elite to anything having to do with Earth. That's why we want to go to a dead planet called Mars. So they're about controlling, getting you and all of us away from being magic...is how to use tools of the Earth properly. Not, you know, we should not abuse water, the air, the land, the food, anything. So when it comes to animacy, I think it's a Western term also, and so we get away from the Western terms. We start seeing that, oh, we are becoming Earth as we're born into this physical dimension. We are becoming Earth. And then as we are living during this time, we're alive. We are becoming Earth.

Whatever it's doing it has slowed down natural relationships. It took us out of the land, put us into factories, put us into institutions where you can learn a trade. It kept giving you jobs that had nothing to do with Earth. And so if you're living, you're working in this box called a factory, and the farmers out there are becoming less and less. Even the farming, the ideas of farming are foreign. And I think that when the technical language came out, we dropped another natural umbilical cord to and with Earth. And so we severed that relationship. So you can see this gradual severing of relationships to Earth with Earth, that now we have to have retreats to learn empathy again. We do all these Westernized versions of piecing ourselves back together and as Indigenous folks where we're getting that way now, but a lot of traditional people don't need that. We don't need environmental movements. You know, Wild Earth is a foreign concept. There are a lot of words that organizations use to rationalize why we need to teach how to be human beings.

Whatever it's doing it has slowed down natural relationships. It took us out of the land, put us into factories, put us into institutions where you can learn a trade. It kept giving you jobs that had nothing to do with Earth. And so if you're living, you're working in this box called a factory, and the farmers out there are becoming less and less. Even the farming, the ideas of farming are foreign. And I think that when the technical language came out, we dropped another natural umbilical cord to and with Earth. And so we severed that relationship. So you can see this gradual severing of relationships to Earth with Earth, that now we have to have retreats to learn empathy again. We do all these Westernized versions of piecing ourselves back together and as Indigenous folks where we're getting that way now, but a lot of traditional people don't need that. We don't need environmental movements. You know, Wild Earth is a foreign concept. There are a lot of words that organizations use to rationalize why we need to teach how to be human beings. So you see technology, the Industrial Machine Age taught us this language of disconnection, taught us things like plug-in, get connected. You know, all these words that came along to fill that information that could be controlled by authority now in the Western process. John Gatto, who won the New York State Teacher of the Year award in 2008, upon his retirement, specifically said, 'It takes 12 years to learn how to become reflexive to authority.'

And usually, when I say young, we're talking college age or more. And so I find I just finished a semester at Union Theological Seminary in New York and graduate and postgrad students, they either were angry or sad or just, you know, in shock that they have never heard through the whole semester, after years of study, that they've never heard the Native history as we know it. We've always been overrun with Western historical domination as they see it, that they came here for benevolence, they were brought a civilization, they brought us cars and tech, you know, all these things. It was the ships that came while we stood on the shore, watching the ships come, welcoming, abundance, giving. And then they came and they took what we offered, but they took more. And that's where we're at. And now we're seeing a whole abandonment of spirit and put into the ideas of a dogmatic soul. Where in Native is that we are shown the possibilities, and we're able to choose freely about what we're shown. We're never told to do this or say that or we were shown because it was a living and is a living language. Learning is a living, it's not a stagnant informational data bank.

“I'll go with cultural etymology of this language English. And the word education where does it come from? Well, it comes from scholars and whatever, but the etymology of the word education, what does it mean? It means to adduce or seduce. And there's different evolutions of the word, and in one dictionary I saw before 1940 says, of course, to adduce or seduce, but it also says 'to draw out or lead away from' - and get this - 'to lead away from spirit.' And what has it done? Replaced, draw out, or lead away from spirit. So what that's done is replace it with information and knowledge. And that's control by domination. Here's how: So schools started out in the Catholic churches, because the monks, they drew the monks away when they were boys to read and script and to keep this educational process moving. So they were away from nature and only of men's minds. So it's a controlled education where you're instructed mechanically to get the right answer.

For this week's show, we're revisiting a conversation between Tiokasin Ghosthorse and Annamarie Hill. Annamarie is an enrolled member of the Red Lake Nation located in northwestern Minnesota. It was while she was studying Music and Business at a private women's college in the southern part of the state that she realized the impact of inhumane treatment put upon her father and family and became determined to somehow help right the wrongs that had devastated American Indian communities. After graduation, Annamarie moved to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Metropolitan area and began a career in the state legislature and government for more than a decade before taking the role of State Government Affairs Director for Red Lake. After lobbying for Red Lake Nation for several years, Annamarie went on to lead the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council as Executive Director for a decade. It was during this time that the highly regarded and award-winning “Why Treaties Matter” exhibit and Dakota Ojibwe Language Revitalization program were developed. Annamarie currently works for the University of Minnesota Medical School's Duluth Campus as the Strategy and Outreach Director. Annamarie is a part of the Mantyh Lab, a research team led by Neurologist and Dementia Specialist Dr. William Mantyh. The NIH- funded research project is to examine the APOE gene's relationship with Alzheimer's disease in the Native population. Annamarie remains active in the lobbying and advocating world for her people and provides professional and executive coaching and mentoring to many. Annamarie has a bachelor's degree in music and business administration from The College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and a master's degree in Tribal Administration and Governance from the University of Minnesota/Duluth.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse is back this week with a very special show. He will begin with an untitled musical track featuring Levon and Roselyne Menassian (Armenian) with Duduk, voice and Native flute. Tiokasin will talk about the conference that he recently attended in Portugal. In the second half-hour, from our extensive archive stretching back 31 years: Darlene and Willard Pipeboy were frequent guests on First Voices ‘Indigenous' Radio (as it was known at the time) from 1999 through the mid-2000s. Both carried knowledge and common sense of the Lakota and Dakota wichohan (life ways). This interview was drawn from the 2003 archive before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, before the Fukushima nuclear meltdown in Japan in 2011, and other events as the Western world and Earth continue to clash. Please listen to these two Wakán (note: there is not really a word for “elder” since it is a noun).

This week we're revisiting Tiokasin Ghosthorse's conversation with Munya Andrews and his discussion on greed with Malcolm Burn. The original episode aired on April 10, 2022.Munya Andrews is an Indigenous woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Born to an Aboriginal woman and Scottish father, she is proud of her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage. Her Bardi 'saltwater' people come from the Dampier Peninsula and the offshore islands north of Broome. Regarded by Melbourne University as a "leading Australian thinker," Munya is an accomplished author and barrister with degrees in anthropology and law. Educated in Australia and the United States, she is fascinated by comparative religions, languages, mythology and science, and is intrigued by the way in which they interact and inform each other. Munya's book, "Journey into Dreamtime," is an easy guide to Aboriginal spirituality that explains Dreamtime concepts in a simple way. Munya's life purpose is to create better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal people, leaving behind a legacy of Dreamtime wisdom for generations to come. Munya's long term vision is to create a fairer, more inclusive Australian society, which recognizes and pays respect to its First Nations people. Following Tiokasin's talk with Munya, he and Malcolm Burn, FVR's show engineer and host of “The Long Way Around” on Radio Kingston, discuss “greed,” while contemplating the title of the closing song, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” Tiokasin asks, "How does one get to rule the world?" Answer: "By turning your back on Mother Nature/Mother Earth." Following this train of thought, Tiokasin talks about greed, which he says is a “being,” a “value” that many people in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere don't understand. What if greed had a “cost”; what if one had to “pay” something for greed? Malcolm says that "we live in a culture where greed is kind of celebrated and is expected on a certain level —turn on the television and everyone wants more of everything, bigger this, bigger that, more; our culture is consumer based." Both agree that greed is a characteristic of the wasicu and the windigo (the one who is never satisfied). Tiokasin says there is no ceremony to accept greed intelligently. Greed is a being. How is it treating you and how are you treating it?  Production Credits: Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Malcolm Burn, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NY Manuel Blas, Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NY Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor Kevin Richardson, Podcast Editor Music Selections:1.

In a country where land is seen as a commodity and a means to generate wealth, what does it mean when the land has been stolen? Democratizing wealth is not an easy topic, and in order to sort it out, we must rectify a past filled with enslavement, genocide, brutality, and thievery. NDN Collective defines LANDBACK "as a movement that has existed for generations with a long legacy of organizing and sacrifice to get Indigenous Lands back into Indigenous hands. The Rooted Resources Festival was held in May 2022 in Kingston, NY. The event shined a light on localizing economic power to nurture solidarity, awareness and action. It was recorded at the Rooted Resources Festival, hosted by the Good Work Institute in Kingston, NY. The Landback panelists featured were Kapi'olani A.

The Native Americans are the First People of the United States, yet they are forced to live on reservations on their own land. The Indigenous People seem to be the unseen, and uncared for citizens on their own land. Politicians forget Native People, and the wider society do not remember the Indigenous people are still here. There is one person who do not forget his own people, and he is Tiokasin Ghosthorse. A member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, Tiokasin is a multi-talented and multi-faceted human being who cares about his people and their many challenges. Please listen this conversation as Tiokasin Ghosthorse fields questions from host of the show, Garnett Ankle.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Tiokasin Ghosthorse originally aired in June of 2021. If we need the Earth, does the Earth need us? This week on the podcast we dive deep into the relationship amongst ourselves and the Earth with guest Tiokasin Ghosthorse. We begin our conversation by talking about the savior mentality that can arise when we act to address the many issues that threaten Earth and kin at this moment. Recognizing the trickiness of interrogating this mentality that is often intertwined with emotions of loss, love, and protection, Tiokasin offers that perhaps rather than being guided by solutions and salvation, we acknowledge where we are at in this consciousness and how we can challenge ourselves to give back to the Earth without intrusion. Tiokasin Ghosthorse is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy. Tiokasin is the Founder, Host, and Executive Producer of “First Voices Radio'' for the last 28 years. In 2016 he received a Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Music by Harrison Foster, Peia, and Lizabett Russo. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse's guest for the full hour is Alnoor Ladha. Alnoor's work focuses on the intersection of political organizing, systems thinking and narrative work. He was the co-founder and Executive Director of The Rules (TR), a global network of activists, organizers, designers, coders, researchers, writers and others focused on changing the rules that create inequality, poverty and climate change. TR started in 2012 as a time-bound project and an experiment in anarchist organizational design, exploring new ways of how to work, play and make trouble together. Alnoor comes from a Sufi lineage and explores/writes about the intersection between politics and spirituality in troubled times."This is not about saving the world. Even the idea of saving the world is such a hubristic, western thought. The world doesn't need saving. It's we who need saving. It's we who need redemption. And that possibility only exists if we're willing to humble ourselves to the emergence of what could be." - Alnoor LadhaProduction Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerMalcolm Burn, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NYTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

How do we flourish potential and change within our community?  We are emerging from a nourishing hiatus with a new name and new offerings, and are welcoming you back with a special episode; a collective message from our team.  Since we started this period of reflection evolving our vision for what the ‘The Future Is Beautiful' might become, our team of femme has organically grown to hold all that we hope to unfold. From Britain to South Africa to Turtle Island, in this episode we will share some of our deeper yearnings for the future.  We speak of our origins, how and why we connected with this podcast and with Amisha, our inspiring podcast host. We recall previous episodes where we heard from Claire Dubois, Alnoor Ladha, Nasreen Sheikh and Tiokasin Ghosthorse; episodes which sparked our imaginations and stirred the deeper layers of our hearts in new ways. We reveal our personal ‘medicines' that kept us sane and our joy alive during these challenging pandemic times and we share our visions and yearnings for the future of your wildest dreams. We reflect on ‘All That We Are', our new name and the offerings we have brought alive during these past months. ‘All That We Are' exists to offer a space of sanctuary, where we share podcasts, a place where you can come and be in kind company; a place where you can learn, unlearn and connect to your own wisdom, where we celebrate, explore and deepen our perspective on all that we are, and on all that we are becoming.  Links from this episode and more at www.allthatweare.org

Sitting with ancestors, elders. Child story rather than ancestor story. Nature defining what humanity is. The intuition of the heart. Hospicing this modernity. Separating from our spiritual umbilical cord. What it means to be evolutionary. Ceremony and no agenda. Medicine people. Time and Perception from a Lakota perspective. Innocence. Language of grief. Energy and age that can't be taken. Using energy properly.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse's guest in the first half-hour is Shelley Buck, President of the Prairie Island Mdewakanton Indian Community in Minnesota. The Prairie Island Indian Community, a federally recognized Indian Nation, is located in southeastern Minnesota along the banks of the Mississippi River, approximately 30 miles from the Minneapolis and St. Paul. Tiokasin and President Buck discuss a November 13, 2021 article in the New York Times: "Flooding and Nuclear Waste Eat Away at a Tribe's Ancestral Home." President Shelley Buck is serving her fifth term on Prairie Island Tribal Council and third term as president. Prior to being elected Tribal Council president, President Buck held other positions within the Prairie Island Indian Community government, including Tribal Council secretary and assistant secretary/treasurer, enrollment clerk in the Prairie Island Enrollment Office and government relations specialist for the Tribe. She has also served on the Pow Wow and Constitution Revision Committees. She is currently working on a second masters degree in tribal Indian law from the University of Tulsa. President Buck is vice-chair of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council.In the second half-hour, First Voices Radio remembers the late John Trudell, who left us in 2015. Although his remarks are from 1980, his observations have stood the test of time and still resonate today. The names of U.S. politicians that John mentions have changed over the years but the issues that Indigenous peoples faced then and now remain the same. John Trudell has been identified as a poet, a fighter for Indigenous rights, an agitator, and many other things. But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suited him, he would have refused to be pinned down. John said, "Actually, I don't consider myself to be any of those things. They are things that I do but they are parts of me. They are not the total." John Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished in his 69 years, a time in which he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes. More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerMalcolm Burn, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NYTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic and Selections:1.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse begins this podcast by painting a picture of his childhood and experiences as an indigenous person growing up in the United States and being forced to ignore his own culture. He talks about how western education is very binary and restrictive, whereas non-western education (for lack of a better word) allows one to make choices and actually grow. He also mentions how indigenous cosmovision and spirituality can help us address the current challenges humanity faces, especially in regards to education and climate change. He help us see that Earth is always changing and moving…. but, we, the humans are the ones who need to change with the Earth, and this may only happen if we live with the Earth and on her rhythm and not on Earth. Tiokasin creates an insightful, thought-provoking atmosphere in this extremely interesting podcast interview.

In early June 2021, remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, Canada. The school was one of the largest Indian residential schools in Canada and operated from the late 19th century to the late 1970s. Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, we were forcibly taken from their families and put into residential schools in Canada. This is also what happened in Native boarding schools in the U.S. during the same time period — children's hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families. Some didn't return home for many years and some never returned. Tiokasin Ghosthorse speaks with Christine Diindiisi McCleave (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe), CEO, National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition about the organization's support of the introduction of a U.S. Bill for a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies. Christine is a leader and an activist for Indigenous rights advocating for truth, justice and healing for the genocidal policy of U.S. Indian Boarding Schools. She has dedicated her life and work to pursuing truth and healing for the Indigenous survivors of historical trauma at the hands of colonialism and settler-states. Visit https://boardingschoolhealing.org/October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the National Institute of Justice, domestic violence disproportionately impacts Native Americans and Alaska Natives, with more than 1.5 million Native women and 1.4 million Native men experiencing violence during their lifetime, often by non-Native perpetrators. Domestic violence among Native Americans is not natural or traditional. The domination and subjugation of Native Americans began with colonization and continues today. Colonization was responsible for the theft, occupation, pollution and exploitation of Indigenous lands. Today, Natives who are living in tribal communities on or near lands that are exploited by extractive industries face the highest rates of domestic and sexual violence. Tiokasin talks with Lori Jump (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), executive director of StrongHearts Native Helpline, a 24/7 culturally appropriate domestic, dating and sexual violence helpline for Native Americans and Alaska Natives. Lori is the former executive director and current board member of Uniting Three Fires Against Violence, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault tribal coalition in Michigan. She served on the Federal Task Force researching Violence Against American Indians and Alaska Native Women and has more than 26 years of tribal advocacy experience in her community.

Join Elizabeth and Catriona for a thought-provoking conversation with our episode guide Philippa Bayley as we delve into how language can help us relate with ourselves, other people, and the earth, and provide fresh perspectives and energy on topics such as climate change. Philippa is a research scientist turned public engagement practitioner and research manager with a passion to create unique spaces that help people think differently, whether that is 1:1 or in large-scale public events. She has worked across a range of disciplines from neuroscience to cybersecurity, but the heart of her work lies in rethinking our relationship with the earth. As part of our time together, we showcase ‘living-language-land', which Philippa is one of the Creative Producers of. A recently-launched global nature language project for COP26, living-language-land experiments with how an expanded lexicon for our relationship with land and nature can both honour minority and endangered languages, and offer fresh inspiration for tackling our environmental crisis. We hope you enjoy this wide-ranging episode in which we touch on topics such as empathy, responsibility, right relationship, science and indigenous wisdom and learn new words from around the world.

If we need the Earth, does the Earth need us? This week on the podcast we dive deep into the relationship amongst ourselves and the Earth with guest Tiokasin Ghosthorse. We begin our conversation by talking about the savior mentality that can arise when we act to address the many issues that threaten Earth and kin at this moment. Recognizing the trickiness of interrogating this mentality that is often intertwined with emotions of loss, love, and protection, Tiokasin offers that perhaps rather than being guided by solutions and salvation, we acknowledge where we are at in this consciousness and how we can challenge ourselves to give back to the Earth without intrusion. Tiokasin Ghosthorse is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy. Tiokasin is the Founder, Host, and Executive Producer of “First Voices Radio'' for the last 28 years. In 2016 he received a Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Music by Harrison Foster, Peia, and Lizabett Russo. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

The Native Americans are the First People of the United States, yet they are forced to live on reservations on their own land. The Indigenous People seem to be the unseen, and uncared for citizens on their own land. Politicians forget Native People, and the wider society do not remember the Indigenous people are still here. There is one person who do not forget his own people, and he is Tiokasin Ghosthorse. A member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, Tiokasin is a multi-talented and multi-faceted human being who cares about his people and their many challenges. Please listen this conversation as Tiokasin Ghosthorse fields questions from host of the show, Garnett Ankle.

Can Earth raise our consciousness into living lives of true reciprocity? In this episode Amisha speaks with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and a Sundancer in the cosmology of the Lakota Nation. He has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy, and is an international speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth perspective. He is the founder, host and executive producer of “First Voices Radio”. In 2016 Tiokasin received a Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.  Amisha and Tiokasin journey along a stream of consciousness guided by Tiokasin's Indigenous cornerstones and his fluid interbeing with Earth and Cosmos. Tiokasin opens up a portal to the Lakota understanding of innocence and elemental consciousness that we can receive by Earth listening to us and teaching us to hear our hearts lessons through its abundant gifts. He reveals how we have constructed systems of fear that condition us to speak tactically, economically and anthropocentrically, instead of naturally. He shares insights into the world of Lakota language, an Earth language of indigenous intelligence embedded in verbs, motion and action that speaks to three dimensions, that knows no war nor gender, and is created to relate and not divide or exclude.  Tiokasin's shares that the Corona virus is presenting us with 33 intelligences brought to us at this time to expand our consciousness and to see our future within the Earth. We learn that we can grow to understand the virus in new forms; a pathway to understand the tools and energy of the earth to grow our relationship to the cosmos, and expand us into beings that are guided by the gifts of the stars to live a life of true reciprocity.   This podcast is part of a collaboration with St Ethelburgas called ‘Listening To Each Other, Listening to Earth'.

Water is sacred. Water is life. Water sustains us. What if we gave our lives to the life-giving source that sustains us? What if we gave our blood, sweat and tears to protect our rivers, lakes and oceans? Many people have a relationship with water that somehow sustains, soothes, renews and rejuvenates. For many people, their love of ocean, river, lake and even rain can also be a powerful reason to act to protect that source of life. Look for traditions from your culture and land to honour water or co-create new rituals with friends. Get playful, go with the flow, enjoy the journey. If you need some inspiration for how to honour water as sacred, water as life, you can try this very short and very sweet water ritual shared generously with permission to share again here by Lakota elder, Tiokasin Ghosthorse.

We wrap up season 4 by wrapping up our three-part conversation with Tiokasin Ghosthorse. This one is a fantastic exploration of what prophesy means, where it comes from, and living at peace with Earth.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse contiues the conversation about COVID, prophesy, intelligence, and arrogance.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse joins us to give us a much deeper perspective on the intelligence we know as a virus.

This episode of TNT is a rebroadcast of a First Voices Radio show I guest hosted. FVR is a national radio show executive produced and hosted by Tiokasin Ghosthorse and produced by Liz Hill.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse gives as much of the Lakota perspective on the sacred as ceremony as the English language allows, while challenging us to ask ourselves why we're asking in the first place.

Gain insight into a more earth-based consciousness through the Lakota way of seeing and being. The Lakota language is an intrinsic way of being a part of the universe- it encompasses all that lives without seperating your own existence from the whole.

Julieta Kusnir talks with muralist Juana Alicia, one of the seven visionary creators of the iconic Maestrapeace mural project on San Francisco's Women's Building.  The murals are 35 years old this year and a spectacular new book from Heyday Press commemorates both the original production and the restoration, along with profiles of the artists (Juana Alicia, Miranda Bergman, Edythe Boone, Susan Kelk Cervantes, Meera Desai, Yvonne Littleton, and Irene Pérez), and work by seven Bay Area poets including Alice Walker, Genny Lim and Sandra Cisneros and Dvora Major with a foreword by Angela Y. Davis. The artists and writers will celebrate the book with two upcoming events in San Francisco. Maestrapeace at the San Francisco Public Library Sep 14 2019 San Francisco Public Library – Koret Auditorium San Francisco, CA. Maestrapeace: San Francisco's Monumental Feminist Mural Oct 08 2019 California Historical Society San Francisco, CA.   A major theme of the mural is water – one of the central images is the ocean Orisha/Goddess Yemaya – and the connections between women's activism and care for the Earth. Youth climate strike organizer Xiye Bastida speaks with Tiokasin Ghosthorse of First Voices Radio about indigenous traditions of stewardship for the earth and waterways as she waits for Swedish activist Greta Thunberg‘s boat to arrive in New York. And we'll hear part of Greta Thunberg's address to the French Parliament about why youth have had to step up to demand that adults take the climate crisis seriously (courtesy of WINGS – the Women's International News Gathering Service). Bay Area youth and adult allies will join the worldwide Youth Climate Strike September 20-27.    Then Kate Raphael speaks with Kyle Chu, writer-actor and co-creator of the web series CHOSEN FAM, which will have its first pilot screening party on Wednesday, September 11 at El Rio. CHOSEN FAM follows the members of all-QTPOC Indy rock band navigates relationships, growing up and growing apart in the Bay Area DIY music scene.  I'll talk with Kyle about the how and why of making a web series (what she calls a “baby TV show”) on a shoestring and what current and former shows she admires. The post September 9, 2019 – Story, Art, Action! Muralismo, Youth Climate Warriors, and the Life of a Web Series appeared first on KPFA.

3/2/19 10:45am-12:15pm Communicating Climate Change Our current climate crisis demands that we identify new modes of communication to convey the urgent moment we find ourselves in and to demonstrate why people should care. This presentation and conversation followed the work and perspectives of an artist, former coal miner, environmental journalist and Indigenous leader. Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Founder, Host and Producer of First Voices Indigenous Radio and a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota Jim Morris, journalist and interim CEO of the Center for Public Integrity Eve Mosher, artist and creator of the HighWaterLine project Nick Mullins, former Appalachian coal miner and founder of Breaking Clean, an environmental communication firm working to develop messaging strategies across sociocultural and political divides Moderator: Christie Manning, PhD, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies and Psychology at Macalester College The Rothko Chapel and University of St. Thomas hosted a three day symposium exploring the current climate crisis, its impact on vulnerable communities, and mitigation efforts being implemented locally and nationally. Given the global interconnectedness of the climate crisis, the symposium explored how best to move to a zero emission, low carbon economy through the engagement of presenters from religious, Indigenous, public health, energy, government, philanthropic, academic and arts sectors and communities. A central focus was on individual and institutional actions, practices and policies that must be taken to create a more livable and equitable future.

Today I am talking with Ross Hamilton, who is researcher and author of, “Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery”. Robert Bauval, author of Black Genesis: The Prehistoric Origins of Ancient Egypt said, “Ross Hamilton's book is a must-read for all who are interested in ancient star lores”.

Recorded at Circle Round Dignity, Courage, & Survival featuring the music and voices of Morley and Tiokasin Ghosthorse, activist and member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, shortly after the Muslim ban. There's now new, haunting resonance after the eviction of the water protectors from Standing Rock. Mni Wiconi.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse joins Paratopia. We mean JOINS Paratopia. The next learning curve for all of us begins here. ''Let's de-colonize the aliens'' is a phrase Tiokasin used. This conversation is bookended with one of Jeff's ''alien'' experiences and Jer's exploration of the Hawaiian perspective on the ''supernatural,'' both of which speak to the need to not only look at this phenomena differently, but to change the nature of the one who looks.

Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse goes one on one with The Jer to talk about his people, his childhood, and the uncensored history of this nation. This one is all about exploring the differences in thought process as reflected by language, which circles around to how we misperceive tribal cultures, their sense of what ''prophesy'' means and even the revelations Chief Golden Eagle (then Standing Elk) made about Star Nations. This episode is dense with knowledge and wisdom. If you identify with Ghosthorse, you're going to find yourself coming back to this episode for seconds and thirds.

In Jeremys first solo episode, Tiokasin Ghosthorse returns to talk about his take on Stephen Hawkings latest comments regarding possible alien contact. This is a winding, free-form chat that illuminates some of the pitfalls of Western rational thinking and the suppression of indigenous being.

Activist/Musician Tiokasin Ghosthorse shares the Lakota perspective on consciousness and these beings we call alien. Then Jeff and Jeremy really get into it in the type of deep after-chat youve come to know and love. This ones a personal favorite.For more on Ghosthorse, please visit:http://www.firstvoicesindigenousradio.org/tiokasin_ghosthorse.html
