  • 11/05/23 - Annamarie Hill

    Annamarie Hill is an enrolled member of the Red Lake Nation located in northwestern Minnesota. It was while she was studying Music and Business at a private women’s college in the southern part of the state that she realized the impact of inhumane treatment put upon her father and family and became determined to somehow help right the wrongs that had devastated American Indian communities. After graduation, Annamarie moved to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Metropolitan area and began a career in the state legislature and government for more than a decade before taking the role of State Government Affairs Director for Red Lake. After lobbying for Red Lake Nation for several years, Annamarie went on to lead the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council as Executive Director for a decade.

    It was during this time that the highly regarded and award-winning “Why Treaties Matter” exhibit and Dakota Ojibwe Language Revitalization program were developed. Annamarie currently works for the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Duluth Campus as the Strategy and Outreach Director. Annamarie is a part of the Mantyh Lab, a research team led by Neurologist and Dementia Specialist Dr. William Mantyh. The NIH- funded research project is to examine the APOE gene’s relationship with Alzheimer’s disease in the Native population.

    Annamarie remains active in the lobbying and advocating world for her people and provides professional and executive coaching and mentoring to many. Annamarie has a bachelor’s degree in music and business administration from The College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and a master’s degree in Tribal Administration and Governance from the University of Minnesota - Duluth.

  • 10/22/23 - Kevin Abourezk

    This week’s edition is about “story” and how storytelling reconnects us to our histories, cultures and homelands, and in Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse’s words is “nourishment and good medicine.” Tiokasin speaks with Kevin Abourezk. Kevin is featured in the seventh season of “Stories from the Stage,” a WORLD-original series that highlights stories told by ordinary people from all walks of life. This season includes seven Native Americans. Kevin tells a story about his involvement in an activist event to oppose a huge housing development in Lincoln, Nebraska in April-May 2021, and efforts to rally the community around it.

    Kevin is an award-winning journalist, film producer and community organizer. He is deputy managing editor of Indian Country Today and was a reporter and editor for the Lincoln Journal Star for 18 years. A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Kevin has spent his career documenting the lives, accomplishments and tragedies of Native American people. He holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of South Dakota and a master's in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

    The “On Scared Ground” episode featuring Kevin’s story airs on Monday, October 23 at 9:30 pm Eastern Time. Two other stories are featured: artist Colleen New Holy (Oglala Lakota) talks about the judgment heaped on traditional healing through stories of her mother, noted activist and educator Reneé Sans Souci, and her work as an educator preserving Native culture, and Valery Killscrow Copeland (Oglala Lakota) tells a story about her encounter with Bigfoot. “Stories from the Stage” can be seen on WORLD, YouTube, worldchannel.org and the PBS App. Individual stories and exclusive digital content can also be seen on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and on the WORLD YouTube Channel.

  • 10/15/23 - Binnie Klein

    Binnie Klein hosts “A Miniature World,” a music and interview show at WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport, CT. WPKN streams at wpkn.org. (WPKN is the former “home” of “First Voices Radio” and a longtime, treasured affiliate). Binnie maintains a private practice in psychotherapy in New Haven, CT, and has been a Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University. She also is an author and publishes in many publications.

    Binnie’s latest creative project is an indie music collaboration, “In These Trees and Tartie.” While sorting through submissions for her radio show, Binnie was particularly captivated by an Australian singer-songwriter who performs as Tartie (Natasha Anderson). Tartie, based in Melbourne, is known for her “dream-pop” sensibility. Continents apart, separated by time zones and a pandemic, Tartie and Binnie began to explore collaborative possibilities. Tartie’s musical take on Binnie’s lyrics of memory, loss, betrayal, and ultimate liberation was just the right fit. The two women share a passion for nature and survival of the planet. “Ablaze” is the most recent release for “In These Trees and Tartie,” a poignant protest against our heartless treatment of the earth, particularly resonant in these times of increasingly destructive environmental events. Jennifer Kreisberg (Tuscarora) from Ulali provides back-up vocals.

    Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse says: “Once in a while I am compelled after hearing a song about how we forget about out impact on Earth with our rational justifications of making our world, our civilization better by ignoring the natural balance, and continue in our narcissistic ideas often because we as humans caused the tragedies we lament in song. These songs need to be medicine songs, healing songs, ancient tried and true songs not looking for popularity but for respecting the place Earth has in heart for humanity.”

    In the second half-hour, Tiokasin’s guest is Oqwilowgwa Kim Recalma-Clutesi of the Qualicum First Nation, British Columbia, Canada.

  • 10/01/23 - John Trudell (From 1980)

    “First Voices Radio” digs deep into our 30-year-old archive. The words of the late John Trudell are from 1980 but his observations have stood the test of time and still ring true. John (1946-2015) was a poet, a fighter for Native American rights, an agitator, and many other things.

    But if you were to have asked him which of these descriptions best suits him he would have refused to be pinned down. “Actually I don’t consider myself to be any of those things. They’re things that I do…but they’re parts of me. They’re not the total.” I

    ndeed, Trudell was the complex sum of all that he saw, endured and accomplished during his 69 years, a time when he experienced more than most people might in several lifetimes. More information about John Trudell can be found at https://www.johntrudell.com/.

She is a full-spectrum doula, Indigenous breastfeeding counselor and birth keeper providing birth work services to her community. Chasity is a scholar, writer, and organizer on Pueblo women in agriculture, and Indigenous food and seed sovereignty.

    She is a poet that tells the story on how all these lines of work contribute to the wellbeing and healing of Pueblo women and children from the impacts of ongoing settler colonialism, unsettling capitalism, the medical industrial complex, and the environmental destruction and injustice from extractive projects that occur near and on her homeland of Acoma Pueblo.

  • 09/10/23 - Hataałiinez Wheeler, Albert Haskie

    Tiokasin is joined by two guests for the full hour.

    Hataałiinez Wheeler is a very modern kind of crooner: a pensive, deep-voiced troubadour whose serene surf-country songs tap into the hope and despondency of a new generation. The music he makes as Hataałii — a Navajo term that means “to sing,” a fitting diminutive of his given name — is at turns witty and world-weary, sunny but endearingly solipsistic.

    Albert Haskie is a software developer from the Navajo Nation. He is the creator of the app Adoone’é. Serving as the lead developer in the project, Albert has strived to uphold his culture and traditions as a Navajo/Diné. It is his deep-rooted belief that everyone should have access to the resources that preserve and celebrate their Navajo/Diné heritage. Albert finds great joy in tackling Navajo/Diné language and culture preservation in the 21st century. With Adoone’é he aims to contribute to his community and empower others to do the same. Albert says that “Together, we can foster a world where Navajo/Diné individuals can achieve fluency in the Navajo/Diné language.”
