In this Episode: The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or “NAGPRA” Provides for the ownership or control of Native American cultural items (human remains and objects) excavated or discovered on Federal or tribal lands back to Federally recognized tribes. Among several aspects of the act, it directs Federal agencies and museums with possession or control over holdings or collections of Native American human remains and funerary objects to inventory them, identify their geographic and cultural affiliation, and notify the affected Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organization to begin the established process of returning them to tribes. Some institutions and states have been slow, even resistant to comply with this law. We look deeper into the responsibilities of institutions to comply with this law. Also… A landmark law case before the Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) handed down a major decision in favor of Native American tribes and parents by keeping in place a 40 year federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act. (or ICWA) We deconstruct this lawsuit and look into the reasons behind this very important case for Indian Country. And finally… American healthcare has become corporatized, and there have been some very serious consequences as a result of what has become risky business for patients and even medical providers across the country. We provide some examples of these changes and ask very important questions. Contact The show! E-mail: hosts@nativeopinion.comCall Us: 860-800-5595

Episode 428 “Protecting Our Children’s Indigenous Identity…”

First, there was an acknowledgement by the Catholic Church about sins it committed against Indigenous people dating back to the 13th century.  Then, in July of 2022, a mere Two Thousand, Thirty Four years since the church blessed and approved the genocide of Indigenous people to colonize North American continent and beyond, Pope Francis, who represents the entire Catholic church,  issued an apology (sort of)  to first nations indigenous peoples on Canadian soil.   Now, in 2023, the Church Presumably has repudiated colonization concepts of the past which has created the countries of Canada and the United States.   But given the colonial history, well known throughout our tribal communities, is THAT enough? Dont' we already know it was and is currently wrong?  In this episode, we deconstruct this new attempt by the Catholic church to alleviate its own guilt.

Episode 427 "Didn't We Already Know That?"

The question of whether Indian Country and the United States should be viewed as separate entities or as one unified country has been a topic of debate for decades. Given the history of colonization, genocide, and ongoing oppression faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States, tribes have argued that they should be recognized as true sovereign nations, separate and distinct from the U.S.On the other hand, some argue that the idea of a "united" America is paramount and that recognizing that separate individual "Nations within a Nation" would be a threat to national unity and security. In this podcast, we will offer perspective on how the complex history and ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States are largely ignored by elected politicians who (in some cases) come from within our tribal communities.Also...Recently, the Keep America Beautiful organization announced the release of all rights to its "Crying Indian" ad campaign made famous in the 1970s. We ask... why now?And...The first Native American to command a space mission has returned from a six month trip to the International Space Station. We welcome her, and the space X Dragon crew back to earth.The Native Opinion Podcast is Hosted by Michael Kickingbear (Mashantucket Pequot) and David Grey Owl (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.)

Episode 426 "Indian Country or One America?"

Are Non-Natives still that afraid of Native people? Non-Native people still do all they can to destroy Native cultures and ways of life.

Episode 423 “A False Perceived Threat.”

Episode: 425  "Depravity."

Episode 424  "Whose Water is it Anyway?"

"We have seen bans on education and bans on the truth before. It never ends well."

Episode  422  "Are They Really Afraid?"

"The misery inflicted on people of color because of hatred has to end. Tribes in the West are trapped, locked in during a deadly storm because of no infrastructure, (roads), problems created by hatred. People dumped on streets during the coldest Christmas night in DC history, because of hate. Accountability has to take place."

WEDNESDAY EDITION Episode  421  "Hate Fueled Misery."

"As we approach 2023 it is anybody’s guess how this nation ends up. With the midterms out of the way, the Republican Party already has their new version of Trump in Representative-Elect Santos. He ran his entire campaign on a lie, and of course, there are right wing voters who are embracing him, and to be fair, some who want him gone."

Canada just released the most comprehensive National inquiry into Missing &amp; Murdered Indigenous Women &amp; Girls, but apparently, Canada's mainstream media hates first Nation people using the word "Genocide" to describe MMIW cases.

Episode 85 The Illness Called Colonialism

“EPISODE 75 “Music, Dance, &amp; Praise”    We want to express our deepest sympathy and prayers to the innocent people in Syria who lost loved ones in the horrific gas weapon attack on its people of that country. There is NEVER a justified reason on this entire planet for killing innocent people, in particular….children. Nor does it make any sense to bomb another country in retaliation to a travesty, killing even more innocent civilians in an effort to “get a few bad people”. Know that the creator is bigger than any issue, any problem, and ANY president. Our hearts are with those who were lost.

Here is an excerpt from that article: “Despite high rates of unintentional firearm injuries,1–3 and recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that firearm education is important,4 it is often said that firearm injuries occur primarily among inexperienced users and that firearm safety comes with experience and training. To investigate this contention, we conducted a study in which we hypothesized that firearm use would decline during the dates of NRA meetings — which attract tens of thousands of members from across the United States,5 including firearm owners and owners of venues where firearms are used (e.g., firing ranges and hunting grounds) — and that firearm injuries would also decline even among experienced users.” READ MORE HERE Article 1 Title: Irish town built a memorial to thank Native Americans who helped during FamineAmerican Author: Frances Mulraney A sculpture of nine eagle feathers will be installed in Bailic Park, in Midleton, Co Cork to thank the Choctaw Indians for their kindness and support during the Great Irish Famine. Despite the oppression faced by the Choctaws in the years preceding the famine, on hearing of the plight and hunger of the Irish people in 1847, they raised $170 to send to the Irish people and ease their suffering. This figure is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in today’s currency.  READ MORE Article 2 Title: Harvest like Our Ancestors: The Resistance is Fertile Author: Ruth Hopkins It’s time for the harvest. Traditionally, the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) are hunter gatherers. For generations, our children have gotten excited when the chokecherries turn black, because that meant they were ripe for picking. Buffaloberries and wild plums are ready when the chokecherries are. Wild strawberries and raspberries were ready a month previous, along with wild onions; prairie turnips (timpsila) were picked two months before that. The berries and plums can be eaten fresh picked, and are made into jams and jellies. Wojapi is a delicious dessert made from honey or sugar and berries, usually chokecherries. Chokecherries mixed with kidney fat and dried meat are also used to make wasna, ceremonial food. My father, who is a wild game hunter, loves pemmican. We gather first. Hunting will come in another month’s time.  READ MORE Article 3 Title: 2007 Census of Agriculture American Indian Farmers American Indian or Alaska Native Farm Operators Author: USDA Census of Agriculture The 2007 Census of Agriculture shows that U.S. farmers and ranchers are becoming more diverse and that the number of American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators continues to rise. The 2007 Census counted a total of 79,703 American Indian or Alaska Native operators on 61,472 farms and ranches across the United States. More than a quarter of these operators also reported another race. The count of American Indian or Alaska Native operators grew 88 percent from 2002, significantly outpacing the 7 percent increase in U.S. farm operators overall. There were a total of 55,889 American Indian operators who reported American Indian or Alaska Native as their only race in 2007. Of these, 34,706 were principal operators, up 124 percent from 2002.* READ MORE Article 4 Title: American Indian Tribes Create an Agricultural Coalition to Impact the Next Farm Bill Author: Dan Nosowitz The Farm Bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation coming up this year, though it seldom makes waves outside the agricultural community. The Farm Bill, which is passed every five years (or so—the last one, in 2014, was two years late), includes a lot of the stuff you might imagine—farm subsidies, crop insurance—but it also address a boatload of other issues, like the SNAP benefits (aka the food stamp program), rural assistance, employment help, conservation measures in agriculture, forestry programs, food research and development, biofuels, and more. It’s vital not just to farmers but to the economically disadvantaged, and anyone who lives in rural America, too.  READ MORE Article 4 Title: EPA funding allows Otoe-Missouri Tribe to map its property and keep recycling Author: Justin Wingerter PHOENIX - On Thursday, January 25, 2018, several armed Trump supporters, carrying Trump flags, surrounded Arizona state Representative Pamela Hannley and yelled at her about her “protecting illegals” near the state Capitol in Phoenix. Close by, on their way to lunch, were Representative Eric Descheenie (D-Chinle) and Representative Wenona Benally (D-Window Rock). Both are Navajo. Representative Benally recounts the event for Native News Online: "Rep. Descheenie stepped in between them and Rep. Hannley, in order to protect her from them. As soon as he did so, it drew the attention of the rest of the Trump protesters. The rest of the Trump protestors quickly walked over to us, surrounding us and aggressively yelling at us about our support for ‘illegals.’  READ MORE Article 5 Title: Exclusive: Here’s Jeff Sessions’ Draft Masterplan For The Justice Department Author: Ryan J. Reilly WASHINGTON ― Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rapidly shifting the Justice Department’s focus from Obama-era goals such as civil rights enforcement and criminal justice reform to conservative priorities. A draft version of the department’s five-year strategic plan obtained by HuffPost shows the Trump administration’s plans for DOJ include cracking down on illegal immigrants, aggressively prosecute national security leaks, zeroing in on campus speech issues, attacking MS–13 and restoring the “rule of law” throughout the country. The special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the election and President Donald Trump’s attacks on Sessions have grabbed headlines in the attorney general’s first year in office. But the Justice Department, of course, has jurisdiction over much more than the Russia probe.  READ MORE

Here is an excerpt from that article: “Despite high rates of unintentional firearm injuries,1–3 and recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that firearm education is important,4 it is often said that firearm injuries occur primarily among inexperienced users and that firearm safety comes with experience and training. To investigate this contention, we conducted a study in which we hypothesized that firearm use would decline during the dates of NRA meetings — which attract tens of thousands of members from across the United States,5 including firearm owners and owners of venues where firearms are used (e.g., firing ranges and hunting grounds) — and that firearm injuries would also decline even among experienced users.” READ MORE HERE Article 1 Title: Irish town built a memorial to thank Native Americans who helped during FamineAmerican Author: Frances Mulraney A sculpture of nine eagle feathers will be installed in Bailic Park, in Midleton, Co Cork to thank the Choctaw Indians for their kindness and support during the Great Irish Famine. Despite the oppression faced by the Choctaws in the years preceding the famine, on hearing of the plight and hunger of the Irish people in 1847, they raised $170 to send to the Irish people and ease their suffering. This figure is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in today’s currency. READ MORE Article 2 Title: Harvest like Our Ancestors: The Resistance is Fertile Author: Ruth Hopkins It’s time for the harvest. Traditionally, the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) are hunter gatherers. For generations, our children have gotten excited when the chokecherries turn black, because that meant they were ripe for picking. Buffaloberries and wild plums are ready when the chokecherries are. Wild strawberries and raspberries were ready a month previous, along with wild onions; prairie turnips (timpsila) were picked two months before that. The berries and plums can be eaten fresh picked, and are made into jams and jellies. Wojapi is a delicious dessert made from honey or sugar and berries, usually chokecherries.

The purpose of My Peace River project is to bring awareness to the region. It is a collaboration between everyone who has a connection to Peace Valley and forms a cohesive picture of what stands to be lost forever if the Site C dam is constructed. Site C is a disastrous plan to build a giant dam in the Peace River Valley of northeastern BC. It’s  an $8.8 billion project that will flood 83 km of farmland, drown wildlife habitat, and trample indigenous rights — all to supply electricity for dirty tar sands extraction and fracking. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has chosen to go against the wishes of First Nations people and will support this disastrous plan.
