My Second Cup of Coffee

The American story is comprised of many myths, few of them larger and more widely accepted than the myth of Thanksgiving. For nearly 2 decades I have studied US history, particularly in regards to the people indigenous to Turtle Island. A few years ago I decided that I could no longer celebrate Thanksgiving, it is a holiday rooted in white supremacy and the celebration of genocide. I invite you watch this presentation as I share with you the true history of the United States of America and explain why I no longer celebrate Thanksgiving, and neither should you.

In this episode, I will be discussing Veterans Day and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) case that is currently being argued in front of the Supreme Court. Many people are describing the case as complex, but that is only because the USA is (still) a very colonial nation.

On Thursday, October 6, in response to the escalating nuclear rhetoric by Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Biden warned that "We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis". Over My Second Cup of Coffee I will discuss why the United States present just as big of a threat as Russia in bringing about global nuclear destruction.*  *Please NOTE that I did not call it "Armageddon".

 On this episode, I have a conversation with Siouxan Robinson. Siouxsan was born on the Rosebud reservation in SD & raised on the Stand Off Reserve in Alberta, Canada. She is President of The Red Road.
