This is the second-to-last broadcast of "First Voices Radio." Although the show is leaving the airwaves (the last episode will be Sunday, July 6), Tiokasin wants listeners and supporters to know that he isn't "retiring." Rather, as he says, he's "transitioning, moving into these dimensions that are still offered in life." If listeners want to keep up with him, they can join his Facebook page, Instagram (although he's not very active on that platform), his Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Ghosthorse and, of course, "First Voices Radio's" website at https://firstvoicesindigenousradio.org/, where past shows on many topics can be found. Tiokasin can be emailed at tiokasin@gmail.com.Frequent guest, longtime supporter and friend of "First Voices Radio" Steven Newcomb (Shawnee/Lenape) has been researching the history of U.S. federal Indian law and policy for four decades. Steve is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and the influence of the Vatican papal decrees of the fifteenth century on U.S. law and has published several law review articles on the subject. His book "Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery" (Fulcrum, 2008), is the basis for "The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code," a documentary movie directed by Sheldon Wolfchild (Dakota). Originalfreenations.com and Indigenous Law Institute are two websites where some of his work can found. He can be contacted at stv4newcomb@yahoo.com or info@originalfreenations.com. Steve also publishes on Substack at The Domination Chronicles.Tiokasin talks about the upcoming book, "Earth Mind" which he is co-authoring with Robert Toth and Dr. John Briggs. Tiokasin says: "In writing this book we have made every effort to respect our readers by not telling them what actions to take if they agree with us on the importance of holocentric consciousness to life on Earth. Here, we propose no new ideology, philosophy or religion - no "to do" list of steps in order to establish a new Earth Mind-centered culture and fix the problems created by modern humans' aggressively anthropocentric approach to pretty much everything. We think that proposing "solutions" will only lead people back into more anthropocentric thinking, falling into the trap of trying to fix the harm created by that thinking by applying more of it. Proposing solutions is comforting but it hasn't worked very well. We need to go deeper."Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio KingstonTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

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.

Tiokasin is back with us this week and doing much better!Rakel is 40 years old and was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit in northeastern Greenland. When she was 4 years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up she always heard the stories about how they came from a shamanic family, and she always asked deep questions to what it meant for their descendants. In 2012, she started her journey to actually learn about how her ancestors lived and saw the universe as a whole. She left society and went into nature and learned what nature, Silap aappaa (the other worlds) had to teach us. In 2019, she received her healer name, which is Rakel, and was accepted into the ancient lineage as an angakoq. Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

Tiokasin is out unexpectedly this week. We are rebroadcasting the interview with Geraldine Patrick Encina from February 23 of this year:"The 13 year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar," says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples' cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Radio Kingston Studio EngineerTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

From the "First Voices Radio" archive. Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with Ross Hamilton in the first half-hour. Ross is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island. In the second half-hour, Dr. Paulette Steeves, Ph.D. (Cree-Métis) is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Dr. Steeves argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Dr. Steeves has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University. She is an associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. She is the author of "The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas," published in July 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press. Dr. Steeves has said that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation, transforming public consciousness, and confronting and challenging racism.  Production Credits:  Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Orlando DuPont, Radio Kingston Studio Engineer Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor  Music Selections:  1.

Guest for the Full Hour:“The 130-year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar,” says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples’ cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NY Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

Guest for the full hour:Returning guest Jonathan Gonzales was born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and grew up in southern California. He has spent the last 12 years learning earth living skills and ancestral ceremonial ways with many teachers and elders, combined with participating in Indigenous, earth-based ceremonies along with a quest to connect more deeply with his ancestral lineage, which is Indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico, Chinanteco from Mexico, and African. "Among other related topics, we discuss cults, culture and civilization and the differences and how different cultures are treated by cults and civilization," Tiokasin says.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando Bishop, Radio Kingston Studio EngineerTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.
