First Voices Radio

This week we're revisiting Tiokasin Ghosthorse's conversation with Professor Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Andreotti, author of “Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and Implications for Social Activism” (North Atlantic Books, 2021). The original broadcast aired in March 2023. Tiokasin will be back with a new episode the week of April 24th.

Vanessa is a Latinx professor at the University of British Columbia and holds a Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change. Vanessa began her career as a teacher in Brazil in 1994 and has since led educational and research programs in countries including the UK, Finland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Brazil, and Canada. She works across sectors in international and comparative education, particularly focusing on global justice and citizenship, Indigenous and community engagement, sustainability, and social and ecological responsibility.

Her research examines relationships between historical, systemic, and ongoing forms of violence, and the inherent unsustainability of modernity. Vanessa is one of the founding members of Gesturing Decolonial Futures Collective (decolonialfutures.net) and Teia das 5 Curas, an international network of Indigenous communities mostly in Canada and Latin America. She currently collaborates with with these groups to direct research projects and learning initiatives related to global healing and wellbeing in times of unprecedented challenges.

In the first half-hour, “First Voices Radio” Correspondent Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli) talks with Shannon O’Loughlin (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), CEO and attorney for the Association on American Indian Affairs. The Association has been tracking domestic and international auctions selling sensitive American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian cultural heritage since 2018. Bonhams Skinner, a large global auction house, has been hosting a 10-day American Indian and Tribal Art online auction this month. The Association has major concerns about the chain of title, as well as the authenticity, of many of the items in this auction. Shannon has been practicing law for more than 22 years and is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. She has served Indian Country in the private sector as an attorney, leading a large national firm’s Indian law practice that worked to strengthen, maintain and protect Indian nation sovereignty, self-determination and culture. More information at: https://www.indian-affairs.org/ 

In the second half-hour, Tiokasin catches up with returning guest Stephany Seay. Stephany is Co-Founder and Board President of Roam Free Nation. She has been working in service to the last wild buffalo for more than 20 years. Stephany learned about the continued war against wild buffalo in 1996 and has been advocating for them ever since. In response to their struggle, she moved to Montana on New Year’s Day 2004, where she became the media coordinator for Buffalo Field Campaign, from which she parted ways after 18 years of service over philosophical differences. Stephany has nearly 20 years of experience standing with the buffalo and is an avid wildlife photographer, backcountry skier and horsewoman. She is a member of Deep Green Resistance. Stephany trusts that the buffalo have called us not just to help defend them, but to help us save us from ourselves from the unsustainable and selfish creation of industrial civilization.

Tiokasin spends the full hour talking about Indigenous resistance and cultural survival in Peru with María Blanco and Aymar Accopacatty.

Aymar, who has been a frequent guest this year, is an intercultural artist and museum textile conservator. He is a lifelong student of his Indigenous Aymara heritage, in honor of his Native community of Qullana Socca, Puno, Perú.

María Blanco is the daughter of Hugo Blanco Galdós, “a living legend, one of a constellation of elders who have left this time of calendars and progress and exploitation to live the life of plenitude and freedom in struggle.” — Manuel Rozental. María was born in Sweden. She speaks Quechua, is the mother of two, and is a member of the board of editors of “Indigenous Struggle.” María usually lives in Cusco, in a small community, working the land and organizing Indigenous resistance. She had to go to Sweden temporarily to make some income for survival as well as to move resources for “Indigenous Struggle,” the Journal (Lucha Indígena). Her father Hugo Blanco Galdós has said many things that need to be remembered. One of these statements: “I used to fight for land when I was young, now I fight for LAND. LLuchaba por la tierra cuando era joven, ahora lucho por LA TIERRA. Don´t teach them Marxism Leninism, organize them to protect water and save mother earth.” (Very special thanks to our friend Manuel Rozental, a frequent and treasured guest, for introducing us to María and making it possible for her to appear on our show.)

In the first half-hour, Tiokasin talks with Charles Lyons and Charlie Espinosa. They are the co-authors of “For some Colombians, vows of mining reform are just a flash in the pan” (Mongabay, Feb. 20, 2023: http://bit.ly/3mkZrEN). Charles Lyons is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced coverage of the 2022 Brazilian election for PBS NewsHour, which included two long-form reports on deforestation and Indigenous rights. Prior to that, he received an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to produce and edit coverage of pandemic in Brazil, also for PBS NewsHour. Along with Charlie Espinosa, he is co-writing a series of articles on illegal gold mining in Amazonian countries, for environmental website Mongabay, through support by Amazon Aid Foundation, for which both Charlie and Charles are consultants. Charlie Espinosa is a researcher and writer specializing in gold mining in the Amazon basin. Since 2018, Charlie has worked with the Amazon Aid Foundation, where he helps to implement the Cleaner Gold Network and is the lead author of “Tracking Amazon Gold,” a 50-page report covering the impacts of gold mining across the entire Amazon basin. He has also published articles about gold mining in outlets such as Mongabay, The Chemical Engineer, Green Teacher and others. In tandem with his work for NGOs, Charlie writes poems and essays about the humor and mystery of the natural world.

In the second half-hour, Lead Correspondent Anne Keala Kelly updates us about Thacker Pass, which “First Voices Radio” has been following closely since January 2021. She talks with activist-lawyer Will Falk, who with activist-photographer Max Wilbert started an occupation at Thacker Pass on January 15, 2021, to stop construction of a proposed lithium mine in Thacker Pass, Nevada, known as Peehee Mu’huh in the Paiute language. A new lawsuit was filed in federal district court on February 16th by three nations: Reno-Sparks Indian Colony; Burns-Paiute Tribe; and Summit Lake Paiute Tribe. This is a new lawsuit against the US federal government over Lithium Nevada Corporation’s planned Thacker Pass lithium mine, the latest move in what has become a two-year struggle over mining, greenwashing, and sacred lands in northern Nevada. https://www.protectthackerpass.org/, @ProtectThPass (Twitter), Protect Thacker Pass (Facebook), protectthackerpass (Instagram).

Tiokasin catches up with returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker for the full hour.

Dr. Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school.

Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.

Tiokasin and Dr. Tinker dissect "It's Time to Rethink the Idea of 'Indigenous,'" by Manvir Singh (The New Yorker, Feb. 20, 2023).

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse hosts another monthly roundtable. His guests tonight are Christian Matute Sagbay, Rad Pereira and Dioganhdih Hall.

Christian Mature Sagbay incarnated on the lands currently referred to as Gualaceo, Ecuador. Not too long ago it was kichwa/kañari territory. This recognition of land and language has drawn Christian to the work of language justice. He is currently exploring this avenue of healing while keeping in mind the need for future generations to decolonize themselves through expansive and yet connective land-based principles.

Rad Pereira (they/them) is a queer trans (im)migrant artist and cultural worker of Pindorama, Abya Yala (Brasil) building consciousness between healing justice, system change, reindigenization and queer futures. They are based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn) and Haudenosaunee territory (northern Hudson Valley). They are Director of Engagement & Impact at NY Stage & Film. They are building a Native led food sovereignty and world building project called Iron Path Farms. They are a solidarity economy organizer working across platforms, communities and industries. @______rad___.

Dioganhdih Hall, Mohawk of Akwesasne, is a Haudenosaunee community member and a two-spirit multi-disciplinary artist based in their traditional homelands in so called "upstate NY." Their medium of expression weaves between ancestral food cultivation, storytelling, community organizing, hip hop lyricism, beat production and sound engineering. Their primary focus of their work is claiming space for Native folks to re-Indigenize and find movement and joy in the interconnected liberation of our bodies, spirit and land. Dioganhdih is currently working on a food sovereignty project in the Hudson Valley called Iron Path farms (@ironpathfarms).
