No Kings, huh? Well, you sure don't need king for tyranical and authoritarian rule. Ain't that right, US?

The US has been more tyrannical and authoritarian than the king they revolted from Day 1 to the present. Trump or no Trump!

Lots of radio this week with Indigenous Peoples Day and a trip out to speak at Hofstra University. We'll cover it all!

Almost twenty hours of Amtrak and the LIRR to get out to Hofstra and back but it was all worth it!

Orange Shirt Day! Indigenous People's Day! Our Special Month of November! What are we celebrating?

These special days and acknowledgements miss the mark. They blur what should be our message. We know what you did and we are fighting to make it right!

Jackson, Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsberg before them all voted with the right against Native autonomy, CONSISTENTLY!

Only Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas have questioned the Trust Doctrine and Plenary Powers Doctrine. They all call themselves "justices", so where is the justice and where are Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor?

The Long Hope is a film about the uniquely racist legal doctrines still in use and effect today.

The Doctrine of Christian Discovery was literally cited in a federal court ruling less than four weeks ago!

By Request: The Kinzua Dam! Drowning the Seneca!

I the early 60s while Kennedy and Nixon were locked in a tight race for the White House, both needed Pennsylvania badly. So both viewed the Senecas as a sacrifice they were willing to make. As a result, ten thousand acres of Seneca land were condemned to a flood plain by a dam constructed to solve flooding problems for Pittsburgh.

Why "resistance" is necessary!

We must reject the narratives we have been spoon fed. The answer to the cognitive dissonance we have been forced to live with is changing our behavior and rejecting what has been drilled into our heads for generations.

Hey DC! this is what resisting a military invasion of your community looks like.

Trump has taken over DC with the military. 35 years ago Canada tried that on my hometown.

Federally recognized Native leadership is the worst! Between the corruption and generally selling out of their people, it doesn't get worse than this.

From Dick Wilson and his FBI backed GOON Squad to land claims and bad gaming compacts, we see more and more that real change comes from the people.

I have to once again address the unique racism that Native people experience.

The mascot issue is easy to point to in this regard. The fact is that many believe they own us and our images, and they have every right to mock or portray us as their mascots. But it doesn't end there.
