This is the second gathering in SAND's ongoing series on AI and the human spirit — and it takes a deliberately different rhythm. Rather than asking "is AI safe?" or "will it take our jobs?", Tiokasin Ghosthorse and Pooja Prema invite us to slow down and ask the deeper questions: What cosmology is AI extending? What is intelligence, really? And what happens when the earth-based, organic, living intelligence of Indigenous and ancestral ways of knowing gets replaced by a synthetic one? A spacious, felt-sense conversation that asks us to remember what a living mind actually is. Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome & framing the deeper questions 00:04 — Opening body practice: tuning into felt sense before speaking 00:07 — Tiokasin: AI as the latest ship on the shore — colonization in a new form 00:17 — "There is no artificial intuition" — what technology cannot replace 00:18 — Pooja: the cosmology behind AI — colonial linearity vs. the curving motherboard of Earth 00:25 — AI as the latest savior narrative — and why that story keeps repeating 00:45 — Who owns the data? Who controls the intelligence? The politics of AI 01:05 — AI as therapist, AI replacing elders — the cost to young people and mental health 01:10 — Ghost in the Machine: how to resist empire over the long game 01:15 — Closing: "Our body is the mystic" — an invitation to make this a living inquiry Guests Tiokasin Ghosthorse is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation and lifelong Indigenous activist. He is the founder and host of First Voices Radio, which broadcast for 33 years before its final episode in July 2025. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, is a National Native American Hall of Fame nominee, and a master musician who performs worldwide. He describes himself simply as "a perfectly flawed human being." He is also featured in SAND's film The Eternal Song. Pooja Prema is a first-generation Indian American writer, multidisciplinary artist, and ritualist from Kerala, South India. Her work weaves ecofeminism, decolonial somatic practice, and animistic cosmologies. She is the founder of The Rites of Passage Project and The Ritual Theatre.

What if language was not a tool for naming things, but a vibration of relationship? What if intelligence wasn't a human asset, but an ecological rhythm? What if consciousness is not what happens in our heads—but what happens between us, through us, with the land, with water, with wind? Come gather for a conversation with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota elder, host of First Voices Radio, master musician, and steward of relational ways of knowing. Rooted in the vibrational teachings of the old Lakota language, a language shaped by Earth and used to speak with, not about, Tiokasin invites us to unlearn the dominance of human-centered thought and listen again to Earth as consciousness.

What does it mean to focus on learning from Earth, as opposed to learning about the earth? How might learning Ianguages of Indigeneity invite us into different ways of seeing and relating to the more-than-human world? And how do we honor the pain and emotional weight of these sobering times — while also staying present to the magic and the beauty of all life?In this episode, Green Dreamer's kaméa speaks with Lakota Elder Tiokasin Ghosthorse, who founded, hosted, and produced First Voices Radio, and who has a long history of Indigenous activism and advocacy. Tiokasin also recently co-produced and was featured in the documentary The Eternal Song.Join us as we unravel the many layers of these times of severance, and open ourselves up to the gifts of learning from the Earth as an Elder.We invite you to tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app, and to tune into our bonus extended and video version of this conversation on Patreon here.

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse's thoughts on "sustainability" with a mix of music that fits the theme. "How is your heart? How is your mind? How is your body and how is your body treating you? How is life treating you? Or are you treating your life? I wonder about this word "sustainability." To me it's "sustain-ability" to live with earth. Our mind is, of course, gathering information from all points and not one linear beginning and ending." - Tiokasin GhosthorseProduction Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Radio Kingston Studio EngineerMusic Selections:1.

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—a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota—is, amongst many actions, the host and producer of First Voices Radio and an international speaker on peace.  

Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli), co-host, is sitting for Tiokasin Ghosthorse this week. She talks for the entire hour with Michael Holloman (Colville Confederated Tribes) about Japanese photographer Frank S. Matsura (1873-1913), the subject of the exhibition "Frank S. Matsura: Portraits from the Borderland" that opened on Feb. 1 at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. The exhibition examines Indigenous representation and identity during a period of regional transformation in the early years of the 20th century. Michael is the lead curator of the original exhibition, which premiered at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Cultures in Spokane, Washington. He has guided the High Desert Museum's showing. The exhibition will be on view at the High Desert Museum through Sept. 7, 2025 and is traveling under the auspices of Art Bridges. More information at https://highdesertmuseum.org/Michael works and lives in the ancestral homelands of the Nimiipuu and Palus peoples. He is an Associate Professor of Art and coordinator of Native Arts, Outreach and Education for the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University. Throughout his professional career he has developed extensive relationships with Native communities, artists, and cultural organizations across the region that support art-based programming and partnerships.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerAnne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli), Co-HostLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando Bishop, Radio Kingston Studio EngineerAnne Keala Kelly, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

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

"So we get to a certain stage in Western society, I'd never call it a culture, but a society trying to figure out its birth and how to become mature. 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 who is the authority? Who is controlling information? Who's controlling education? Who's controlling knowledge? And now they want to control Wisdom, and all wisdom means is common sense.”Tiokasin Ghosthorse is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy.

“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. 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.

“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.

"So we get to a certain stage in Western society, I'd never call it a culture, but a society trying to figure out its birth and how to become mature. 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 who is the authority? Who is controlling information? Who's controlling education? Who's controlling knowledge?

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.

This week we're revisiting Tiokasin Ghosthorse's conversation with Professor Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Andreotti, author of “Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and Implications for Social Activism” (North Atlantic Books, 2021).

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 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.
