The most enduring feature of U.S. history is the presence of Native Americans, yet most histories focus on Europeans and their descendants. A 2018 study by Reclaiming Native Truth found that nearly half of Americans believed what they were taught in schools about Native Americans was inaccurate; and 72 percent thought it was necessary to make significant changes to curriculum on Native American history.rnrnNow, this long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing. Awarded the 2023 National Book Award in Nonfiction, Blackhawk's The Rediscovery of America expertly interweaves five centuries of Native and non-Native histories, and is part of the next generation of scholarship that we have all been waiting for.rnrnBlackhawk is an enrolled member of the Te-Moak tribe of the Western Shoshone and the Howard R.

Yale historian Dr. Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) reexamines five centuries of U.S. history in his new book Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. He explores Native people's overlooked role from the arrival of Spanish explorers to self-determination.

One day before International Indigenous Peoples Day, President Joe Biden created on August 8th, 2023, a new national monument in Arizona covering close to a million acres of lands surrounding the Grand Canyon important and sacred to nearby Native American nations. The Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni (Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument) is the fifth designated monument by Biden in the past 10 months, and the new monument prohibits new uranium mining claims in the region. The legacy of Nuclear Colonialism, which is includes over a century of uranium mining, and its impacts on Native American nations, peoples, and Mother Earth remains a highly censored in the American mass and digital media. Despite the recent media attention of the film Oppenheimer (2023, dir. Christopher Nolan) released on July 21st, 2023, in the United States and August 6th, 2023, marking the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima wherein 140,000 people died in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and 74,000 in Nagasaki three days later, Native Americans and settler colonial violence are absent from these stories and the American public consciousness. Guest: Ian Zabarte (Newe Sogobia [Western Shoshone] Nation), is a long-time Indigenous activist who worked tirelessly to stop the Yucca Mountain high-level nuclear waste repository in Western Shoshone Treaty lands (also known as the state of Nevada). He is also a board member of the Native Community Action Council (NCAC), works on numerous anti-nuclear colonialism projects, and is featured in 2023 documentary Downwind, the story about Mercury, Nevada in heart of the Western Shoshone nation, becoming the testing site of 928 large-scale nuclear weapons from 1951 to 1992.

Friday – April 7, 2023. This was the final day of the 2023 Nevada Desert Experience's Sacred Peace Walk – one mile from the Peace Camp to the White Line – entrance to the Nevada Nuclear Test Site and the most bombed part of planet Earth. In the distance – on land once occupied by the Western Shoshone people – over 100 moon-shaped craters litter the desert landscape. On this Friday – under a hot afternoon sun -- over 30 people presented their grievances at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site's While Line. 12 would cross over and be arrested for trespassing on U.S. Government property. The morning began with breakfast at the Peace Camp and then a trip to Yucca Mountain to learn about plans to store all of this country's nuclear waste below this seismically dangerous area which the Shoshone call Snake Mountain. Then onto the statements and arrests at the White Line.This last program of the Sacred Peace Walk series begins with a conversation I had on Saturday -- after the arrests at Mercury -- with Rich Bishop back at the NDE garden. Rich is a poet and his mind works in wondrous ways – and that Saturday morning he said something that helped me – at least partially – answer the question I had been asking from the start of this voyage: Why do these people expose their intellect, psyche, and bodies for an impossible goal – that is -- to end the threat of nuclear annihilation?

This is one for the weekend warriors who want to try long-distance hiking.  There are lots of people each year who complete long-distance hikes with zero prior backpacking experience. They start with little to no practical backpacking knowledge, but with a clean slate, so to speak. Then there are people who hone their backpacking skills and test their gear on shorter trips in the backcountry first, and then take on a long-distance trail. That's what this episode's guest, Jessica Raechelle, did in 2020. Before she hiked more than half of the Pacific Crest Trail that year, Jessica (AKA Frosty) gained years of backpacking experience on shorter trails in Canada. She had ingrained habits and favourite pieces of gear. On the PCT, she quickly learned about the differences between, backpacking and long-distance hiking: physical, mental and in terms of gear needs. Some old habits and cherished pieces of gear gave way to new ways of doing things and lighter gear. Some things stayed the same. Since 2020, Jessica has applied many of the lessons she learned on the PCT during subsequent hikes in Canada. On today's episode, Jessica will talk about the expectations she had going into the PCT, the new skills she developed on the trail and the habits she picked up from other long-distance hikers.

Lithium is essential to all battery technology currently in use and development worldwide. Due to the transition to renewable solar and wind energy and electrification of vehicles and homes to reduce fossil fuel dependency and address climate change, the appetite for lithium is growing exponentially. While touted as part of a clean and green technology, many are rightfully crying “greenwashing" in response to lithium production and fast tracking mine permits. There is a dark underbelly of lithium mining that is impacting Indigenous communities and People of Color: their cultural heritage, lifeways, sacred sites, and the totality of their health. In this episode, Gary McKinney, Spokesman for The People of Red Mountain and Lead Scout for the American Indian Movement-Northeast Nevada, reveals the true cost of lithium and what we might do to protect the Northern Paiute & Western Shoshone sacred site of Pee'hee Mu'huh to ensure Indigenous peoples and their legacies are not irreparably harmed by the world's growing hunger for lithium. The People of the Red Mountain [https://peopleofredmountain.com/] are an Indigenous led grassroot organization, comprised of Paiute and Shoshone peoples, surrounding Indigenous nations, and supporters working to protect Pee'hee Mu'huh (Thacker Pass) from the possible construction of the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in northwest Nevada. If the mine is built it would be the United States largest source of lithium supply generating 60,000 metric tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually. The People of the Red Mountain are calling for support in demanding the U.S. Department of the Interior to rescind the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine Project Final Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision, and Plan of Operations. Lithium Nevada Corp. is a subsidiary of the Canadian corporation Lithium Americas Corp. which proposes to build the open pit lithium mine with a project area of almost 17,933 acres that will use 5,200 acre-feet per year of water (equivalent to an average pumping rate of 3,224 gallons per minute) in one of the driest regions in the nation. Lithium Nevada Corporation characterizes the mine as a “green” project, despite estimates the mine will produce an estimated 152,703 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year and will cause irreversible harm to the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Nation, ancestral massacre sites, the water, air, medicines, culturally important wildlife relations, and everything else the land and waters culturally sustain for the Peoples. The Bureau of Land Management approved the mine on January 15, 2021, without adequately consulting tribal members. Gary McKinney is a Western Shoshone/Northern Paiute tribal descendant, born and raised in Indian-Treaty-Territory. For over a decade Gary has been involved with Indian Rights and upholding traditional value & culture. Today, he is also a spokesman for the People of Red Mountain, a band of Paiute-Shoshones representing a portion of the Tribal Cultural Landscape threatened by Mining Exploitation.

Ian Zabarte is the Principle Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians and works with the Native Community Action Council. He lives in Las Vegas, NV and has worked on nuclear issues for 30+ years. We specifically talk about Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, which is a proposed deep geological repository storage facility within Yucca Mountain to store spent nuclear fuel, in other terms, nuclear waste and other high-level radioactive waste. The project was approved in 2002 by the 107th United States Congress, but federal funding for the site ended in 2011. With no federal funding it's up to the NRC and DOE but there has not been a final decision on the repository license application. The project has encountered many difficulties and was highly contested by the Western Shoshone peoples and non-local public. As of 2019 the status of the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain remains uncertain. We discuss the significant impacts Yucca Mountain has for the Shoshone people, the significance of land and water for Indiginious people, what a nuclear waste repository is, the relationship between tribal governments and the federal government, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), and then what you can do to take action.

Part 1: On January 2nd, 2021, Indigenous activist, elder, grandmother, Mother Earth protector, Western Shoshone Nation defender and treaty protector moved on to the spirit world. On today's program, we rebroadcast several segments with Carrie Dann. Carrie Dann (Western Shoshone Nation), was co-founder of the Western Defense Shoshone Project (WSDP) in 1991 and a tireless international Indigenous activist, who stood up to the United States government and Bureau of Land Management state-terrorism actions against her and Mary Dann in the 1990s. Carries Dann also opposed the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository in the heart of the Western Shoshone nation and within the treaty territories of the Treaty of Newe Segobia (Ruby Valley) of 1863. Also, throughout her time, she was instrumental in the Barrack Gold Mining Corporations efforts to build one of the largest open gold-pits on Mother Earth and in the Western Shoshone nation lands that threatened the sacred site of Mt. Tenabo. American Indian Airwaves interviews from 2004, 2006, and 2008 demonstrate the veracity, tenaciousness, and the relentless sacrifices of ancestor Carrie Dann. American Indian Airwaves regularly broadcast Thursdays from 7pm to 8pm (PCT) on KPFK FM 90.7 in Los Angeles, CA; FM 98.7 in Santa Barbara, CA; FM 99.5 in China Lake, CA; FM 93.7 in North San Diego, CA; FM 99.1 KLBP in Long Beach, CA (Thursdays 5pm-6pm); and WCRS FM 98.3/102.1 in Columbus, OH.

In this episode I talk with Ian Zabarte who is the Principle Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians and works with the Native Community Action Council. He lives in Las Vegas, NV and has worked on nuclear issues for 30+ years. We specifically talk about Yucca Mountain so before we go further I wanted to give you some background information, the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository is a proposed deep geological repository storage facility within Yucca Mountain to store spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive waste. The project was approved in 2002 by the 107th United States Congress, but federal funding for the site ended in 2011. With no federal funding it's up to the NRC and DOE but there has not been a final decision on the repository license application. The project has encountered many difficulties and was highly contested by the Western Shoshone peoples and non-local public. As of 2019 the status of the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain remains uncertain. We discuss the significant impacts Yucca Mountain has for the Shoshone people, the significance of land and water for Indiginious people, what a nuclear waste repository is, the relationship between tribal governments and the federal government, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), and then what you can do to take action.

In Episode 18 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg looks back at the Nevada-Semipalatinsk movement of the closing years of the Cold War, when the Western Shoshone people, whose traditional lands were being contaminated by the nuclear blasts at the US government's Nevada Test Site, made common cause with the Kazakh people of Central Asia who opposed Soviet nuclear testing at the Semipalatinsk site. Kazakh activists travelled to Nevada to join protests at the Test Site, while Western Shoshone leaders travelled to Kazakhstan to join protests at Semipalatinsk. This initiative eventually evolved into the Abolition 2000 Global Network to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons, which as recently as 2016 held an International Conference on Building a Nuclear-Weapon-Free World in Astana, Kazakhstan, again attended by Western Shoshone leaders. The story of indigenous peoples impacted by nuclear testing on their usurped lands has come to us from several places around the world, including the French test site at Gerboise Bleue in Algeria -- known to the local Tuareg nomads as Tanezrouft. Other examples are the Chinese test site at Lop Nur, on lands of the Uighur people in Xinjiang, and British testing on Aboriginal lands at Maralinga, in the Australian outback. The Nevada-Semipalatinsk movement provides an inspiring example of indigenous peoples and their supporters building solidarity across hostile international borders and superpower influence spheres.
