We Survived the End of the World with Steven Charleston

https://abbeyofthearts.com/lift-every-voice/ Christine Valters Paintner is joined by author Claudia Love Mair for a series of video conversations. Each month they take up a new book by or about a voice of color. The community is invited to purchase and read the books in advance and participate actively in this journey of deepening, discovery, and transformation. This month they speak with Steven Charleston about his book We Survived the End of the World: Lessons from Native America on Apocalypse and Hope. From the moment European settlers reached these shores, the American apocalypse began. But Native Americans did not vanish. Apocalypse did not fully destroy them, and it doesn't have to destroy us. Pandemics and war, social turmoil and corrupt governments, natural disasters and environmental collapse–it's hard not to watch the signs of the times and feel afraid. But we can journey through that fear to find hope. With the warnings of a prophet and the lively voice of a storyteller, Choctaw elder and author of "Ladder to the Light" Steven Charleston speaks to all who sense apocalyptic dread rising around and within. You'd be hard pressed to find an apocalypse more total than the one Native America has confronted for more than four hundred years. Yet Charleston's ancestors are a case study in the liberating and hopeful survival of a spiritual community. How did Indigenous communities achieve the miracle of their own survival and live to tell the tale? What strategies did America's Indigenous people rely on that may help us to endure an apocalypse–or perhaps even prevent one from happening? Charleston points to four Indigenous prophets who helped their people learn strategies for surviving catastrophe: Ganiodaiio of the Seneca, Tenskwatawa of the Shawnee, Smohalla of the Wanapams, and Wovoka of the Paiute. Through gestures such as turning the culture upside down, finding a fixed place on which to stand, listening to what the earth is saying, and dancing a ghostly vision into being, these prophets helped their people survive. Charleston looks, too, at the Hopi people of the American Southwest, whose sacred stories tell them they were created for a purpose. These ancestors' words reach across centuries to help us live through apocalypse today with courage and dignity. https://AbbeyoftheArts.com/Lift-Every-Voice/We-Survived-the-End-of-the-World

PsychedeRx: The Psychedelics Documentary Series  - Past, Present and the Future

Peyote crosses the border and causes a riot. Drug companies want their taste, and psychedelics reach the social elite. What could possibly go wrong?In episode two of PsychedeRx, Peyote comes north to the good old US of A. And it's not just for religious ceremonies anymore, either. Spanish conquistadors and European explorers, seeking to dominate the indigenous tribes, used Peyote to show force by banning its use and denying the tribes their spiritual practices. And we all know what happens when prohibitions are imposed - the use doesn't stop, it just gets moved underground. James Mooney, an ethnographer dispatched by the Smithsonian Institute, is one of our best resources for this era. He committed to his diary first-hand accounts of the use of and backlash against peyote in tribal rituals.As Peyote moved north, albeit underground, it became the catalyst for a series of events that were bloodier than an episode of Dexter. Wovoka and the Ghost Dance were the turning point. The execution of Sitting Bull led to the massacre at Wounded Knee - and it was all over peyote and freedom of religion - ain't that an ironic twist?Episode two also sheds light on the earliest interventions of the drug companies like Merck and Parke-Davis and their part in our little psychedelic drama. Arthur Heffter separates the resins from the alkaloids and isolates the first real information on dosing. We get a close-up look at how the psychiatrists and psychologists got involved - where they got it right, and where they got it all wrong. Psychedelics also make their way into the world of the social elites through folks like Aldous Huxley and Ken Kesey. We'll close out this week with our first peek at LSD.

Welcome to Episode 41, "The Ghost Dance," featuring Native American prophet Wovoka (1856-1932). A descendent of the Numu language family and Paiute tribe in Nevada, Wovoka had a vision in 1889 in which he visited heaven and communed with the spirits of his ancestors. The spirits told him that by performing the “Ghost Dance,” the white man's violent oppression would subside and the native tribes would thrive following an apocalyptic resurrection of Native life. The rapid spread of the Ghost Dance across the nation was so threatening to white oppressors that it compelled them to even greater atrocities, resulting in the Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Wovoka's prophetic religion, music, and dance, however, still remain today. Through the life of Wovoka and his Paiute heritage this episode explores the meaning and music of the Ghost Dance tradition. Welcome to a prophecy of hope...

In this episode, I go deep inside the Ghost Dance and talk about it and how it ultimately led to Sitting Bull's death. Hello everyone and thank you so much for continuing to listen and support this podcast! I am so happy to put out another podcast and it has been much too long since I have uploaded a podcast! A general overview of the topics of this podcast is that I go deep into the Ghost Dance. The Ghost Dance originated in Nevada with a prophet named Wovoka and ultimately spread to Plains Indians and became a growing fear for many Americans. The Bureau of Indian Affairs made it against the law to do the Ghost Dance. Because it was in secret, they had to resort to secret ways and those ways cost Sitting Bull his life.

Radical Religions Series. Episode #3 of 4. In the 1880s, when the buffalo were all but extinct, droughts and over-grazing meant famines, and the promised rations from the government shrank, a new religion spread rapidly through the tribes of the Great Basin and Plains west. It was called the Ghost Dance religion, preached by the Paiute prophet Wovoka, who spread a message that peace and hard work would bring a better future. But the hope-filled religious revival was perceived as a threat by Indian agents and the US Army, and Wovoka’s message of peace led to slaughter at Wounded Knee Creek. The Ghost Dance and Wounded Knee have been considered inextricably linked ever since, but in this episode, we explore the complex and moving history of the religion and question whether we really should end this story with the massacre at Wounded Knee.

To kick off the aforementioned month, we'll be taking a look at one of the few summer camp slasher flicks that were hard to find in its uncut form until recently The Burning. The film features a veritable cavalcade of then up, and coming talent who would go on to have successful careers such as Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter and some significant effects work from the legendary Tom Savini. While the film doesn't feature the most memorable villain or the most original plot, it's a worthy entry into the summer camp slasher subgenre.

It's not regarded as one of Kubrick's finest films but it is widely appreciated as yet another technical masterpiece due to his staunch requirement to film only by natural light.

It's that time of the year again where we turn over the reigns of programming to The Projection Booth's Mike White for the second annual Mike White March. This year's films are all Ozploitation, focusing on the best exploitation films Australia has to offer, and this month is kicked off with Stone. A biker film that was a precursor to the more popular stateside Mad Max, the film follows the eponymous Stone, an undercover cop, who joins the Gravedigger biker gang to try and determine who is killing them one by one. It's a novel premise that ultimately falls flat as it fails to build upon the initial albeit exciting idea. Chris is joined by Mike White to talk about the film, its lasting influence on both American and Australian cinema, and the always fantastic Hugh Keays-Byrne.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Thanks to our latest Patreon patron, we were tasked with taking a look at one of the most baffling films of the early '00s, Tiptoes. Not only does the film star a veritable whos who of know famous and award-winning actors the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Gary Oldman, Peter Dinklage, and Patricia Arquette, but it also attempts to tackle a serious topic: dwarfism. McConaughey stars as Steve, a normal man from a family of dwarfs who knocks up his girlfriend, played by Kate Beckinsale, only to be unable to come to terms with the fact their child may be a dwarf. It's a bizarre, tonally inconsistent film that has to be seen to be believed. Chris and Eric discuss the film, Gary Oldman as a dwarf, and why it's seemingly gone under the radar for so long.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Historians and other writers often portray the Ghost Dance religious movement and massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 as endings, the final gasps of armed Native resistance and their older ways of life. This interpretation is backwards for several reasons, argues Dr. Louis Warren, W. Turrentine Professor of U.S. Western History at U.C. Davis. In his Bancroft Prize winning new book, God’s Red Son: The Ghost Dance Religion and the Making of Modern America (Basic Books, 2017), Warren dramatically reorients our understanding of what the Ghost Dance religion was all about. Rather than a backwards looking movement focused on returning to a pre-conquest past, the prophet Wovoka and his disciples attempted to teach and prepare Indigenous people for life on reservations within an industrializing, wage-based economic and social system. Nor did the Ghost Dance die with the bloodshed in South Dakota in 1890, but instead it carried on and continues to be practiced to this day. God’s Red Son is a sweeping reinterpretation of a well-known era in American history, which emphasizes the importance of context to understanding the power of the religion, as well as the fear it caused among white American officials. Warren persuasively argues that the Ghost Dance was but one mark on the timeline of Native American history, rather than an end. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
