Vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party and Minnesota governor Tim Walz stopped in Window Rock, AZ where snipers lined the monument and three Diné citizens were brutalized by his staffers during the Harris/Walz campaign stop. Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren announced the public event the day before, 10 days before the general election. While standing in the crowd, a Diné woman was continuously harassed by authorities and attacked by a Walz staffer, while another Diné man was brutalized and arrested. Meanwhile, Buu Nygren, President of the Navajo Nation, was getting heckled about his missing Vice President and another woman chanting for Trump in the crowd. It was clear that campaign staffers weren't clamping down on "disruptors", rather, they were targeting Diné people--on their own homelands--policing anyone who supports Palestine. In this episode, Justine hosts Janene, Kiley, and Koi as they recount their violent removals from the event, and their analyses of Navajo Nation Police, the widespread acceptance of genocide in the Democratic Party, and the blatant disregard for tribal sovereignty during the U.S. presidential elections.

TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. Every Child Matters – Community Rally in Tuba City, AZ September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. On September 24, a sixth-grade male teacher was arrested at the school for public sexual indecency after evidence of him masturbating in a classroom was collected by students. An act that had been happening for years. The perpetrator was released approximately 18 hours later, and the students' families have not been able to receive further details of the investigation. The timing of the incident and rally happened to line up with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation- a national holiday in Canada honoring Indigenous students who never returned home from boarding school and survivors of residential schools. The incident happened at a Bureau of Indian Education boarding school, establishing that these incidents are ongoing and not of the past. These are their demands: Support from the 25th Navajo Nation Council to support a request from families to the BIE demanding a full-scale investigation into the Tuba City Boarding School system to address the misconduct and failures in the school system and provide answers and justice for our children. Accountability from all identified faculty and administration personnel that knew about the abuse, failed to report it or investigate it, and allowed it to continue. Federal charges for the perpetrator to ensure the teacher is held responsible for the harm caused to the students, families, and greater community. Comprehensive solutions to protect every child to ensure their safety. Mental health support for all students and parents affected by this traumatic event. Request a joint session between the HEHSC and Law and Order committees of the Navajo Nation council to hear from the families directly, and work alongside respective Navajo Nation departments for justice.

In 1974, three Navajo men--John Earl Harvey, Herman Dodge Benally, and David Ignacio--were brutally beaten and murdered by white teenage settlers in the bordertown of Farmington, New Mexico. It was an act known as "Indian rolling." Diné grassroots leaders rose to this injustice by creating the Coalition for Navajo Liberation and the long hot summer of 1974 ensued. The marches and boycotts against the settlement of Farmington would go on to stand prominently in the history of Red Power and heralded future generations of Indigenous resistance. Saturday, September 21, 2024, the march and event Remembering 1974: Paths to Healing was organized by Diné elders who were present in 1974 and in coordination with other Navajo organizations who continue traditions of Indigenous resistance today. ---------------- Tracklist: 01.

Federal prosecutors have attempted to tie Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier to the murder of fellow AIM activist, Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. It is a frequent allegation that has relied on weak evidence and the charges of paid federal informants. In this episode, TRN Podcast co-host Nick Estes (@nickwestes) looks at several sources of information from key Indigenous activists who knew Leonard Peltier and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash to the FBI's own knowledge of her murder at the time it happened and federal prosecutors' initial hesitancy to take up the case.

December 14, 2020 Intellectually dishonest hate-monger Paul DeMain has reignited his campaign to assure denial of any Executive Clemency to LEONARD PELTIER, 76, at any time before Leonard's next scheduled Parole Hearing in Year 2024 with a continued misuse and abuse of the December 1975 gunshot death of ANNA MAE AQUASH and the unconscionable exploitation of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash's children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde makes significant points in this 2016 article in which the 1975 Aquash death became the center point in President Barack Obama's decision to deny Clemency to Peltier: "I regret that my statement caused some hurt and pain and I apologize for the pain I caused her [Denise Maloney Pictou] and her family," said Bellegarde. "That wasn't my intent." Bellegarde said he still would like to see Peltier freed. He said the case is a separate issue from AIM's execution of Aquash. "I called for that (Peltier's release) because there is an injustice there," said Bellegarde. "So I will continue to advocate for that." Bellegarde said two previous AFN national chiefs have made the same call which is also backed by Amnesty International and prominent individuals like the Dalai Lama. Peltier was extradited from Canada to the U.S. in December 1976. Warren Allmand, Canada's solicitor general at the time of Peltier's extradition, has since stated the F.B.I submitted false information to have Peltier extradited." DeMain's posting of Aquash daughter Denise Maloney Pictou's December 12, 2020, renewed accusations against Leonard Peltier and DeMain's hated AIM organization [re-Posted here in Comment 1] are the beginning of a campaign to assure that 2020 President-Elect Joe Biden will not grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. In death and posthumously, Anna Mae has been made a sainted heroine. But between 1972 and November 14, 1975, Anna Mae's ways were AIM's ways. AIM's ways - good and bad - were without qualification or reservation Anna Mae's ways, by choice. At NCAI in November, American Indian Press Association's (AIPA) Richard LaCourse told me of his meeting with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Kamook Banks, and Anna Mae just before his coming to Portland for NCAI.. Anna Mae then had indicated no distress nor given any indication that she was being held prisoner or against her will. On November 14, 1975, the four AIM "leaders" only broke apart because of the Ontario, Oregon stopping of their [Marlon Brando] recreational vehicle by armed Oregon police. A couple days later, Leonard Peltier was transported (through Franks Landing) from Portland into British Columbia (by associates of mine, who did not inform me then of their activity). He spent the next month in the locale he was taken to and remained incommunicado with U.S. colleagues until later, at least until he traveled to Small Boy's camp in Alberta, Canada. That is where the RCMP and FBI picked up on Leonard - long after Anna Mae Aquash's death in the second week of December 1975. Memorandum in the FBI's Denver Office dated as early as December 19, 1975 disclosed Anna Mae Aquash had been killed - although the FBI would feign ignorance of the death and the corpse identity for more than the next three months. The December 1975 memos identified the killers as John "Boy" Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud, and Theda Nelson Clarke - although none of the three were indicted through the next 28 years. The Looking Cloud trial was held in December 2004; Graham's in 2010 - lapses of 29 and 35 years. Theda Nelson - a likely FBI Informant in December 1975 - (on mental competency findings) did not go to trial. Clark died at age 87 in 2011. Although a lead prosecutor opened the Leonard Peltier trial in Fargo, North Dakota on March 16, 1977 declaring: "AIM is not on trial."; both AIM and Leonard Peltier were made the main 'defendants' in the 2004 and 2010 trials for the killing of Anna M

Justine and another comrade debrief the 2nd. Encounter for a World Social Alternative: From Bolívar to Chávez. At the time of recording, they had just wrapped up the two-day event and had yet to witness the Venezuelan presidential elections later that week. Their initial reactions to the two-day panel series lay out the context of the Venezuelan elections, why the country is in the crosshairs of neoliberal cooperate media, and how the Venezuelan people have risen to protect the Bolivarian Revolution. The first gathering of the World Social Alternative happened in April of 2024 in Caracas where they produced the document mentioned: https://www.albatcp.org/en/acta/world-social-alternative/ You can watch the live streams with English interpretation by ALBA-TCP on Youtube: Day 1- https://www.youtube.com/live/ojyREEBxMg4?si=Fnj-JwDT_MmylzH5 Day 2 - https://www.youtube.com/live/DKJKyrPGpvE?si=3dn8KPI1CSGIGm2q Justine on the panel Alternative for Peoples' Rights and Reparations: https://youtu.be/4LPqDxATd_A?si=BxpEfnSyY_SbdiAx Read: Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage by Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel The Red Nation Podcast is sustained by comrades and supporters like you.

This episode covers the radical history of the Twin Cities, which evolved in a unique and dynamic historical conjuncture in the long 1960s as a site in which African American, American Indian and Mexican American communities were concentrated in an otherwise overwhelmingly white state. The emergence of Black Power, the American Indian Movement, and the Chicano Movement parallel and overlapping in a shared urban site speaks to the socio-political context of injustice. These dynamic movements built infrastructure to confront these shared forms of repression, but through their particular communities: The Way organization in the Black community, Centro Cultural Chicano in the Mexican community, and in several independent schools in the American Indian community. These institutions—also evident in the emergence of the Black Patrol, the AIM Patrol and the Brown Berets in addressing police violence—emerged independently but with points of convergence and direct interaction. Jamie Curry and Jimmy Patiño would also like to add the names and dates regarding the women in AIM: in May - July 28, 1968, the American Indian Movement is founded and conceived in Stillwater State Prison by Eddie Benton-Benai Jr., Dennis Banks, and Clyde Bellecourt; Alberta Strongwoman, Elkwind Dalmond, Caroline Dickinson, Fanny Fairbanks, Laura Waterman Wittstock and Elaine J. Salinas called the first meeting on the Northside. Not once did Clyde or Dennis take action or strategize without input from the women in the movement and are still the backbone today). Calling themselves (in '68) Concerned Indian Americans (CIA), they start patrols in Minneapolis because of the school's mistreatment of their sons and daughters, lack of decent housing, to combat weekly police brutality and racism inflicted upon and experienced by Indian people in the Twin Cities. https://www.instagram.com/soulforcemn/ Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel The Red Nation Podcast is sustained by comrades and supporters like you.

Jen and Justine are joined by McKenzie Johnson, Demetrius Johnson, and Kaylee Bahe to discuss an incident that gained national attention on Halloween of 2018. On October 31, 2018, two Indigenous students were assaulted by their teacher, Mary Jane Eastin, at Cibola High School in Albuquerque, NM. In an AP literature course, one student had the end of their braid cut off and the other was called "a bloody Indian." Mckenzie Johnson is the student who was called a "bloody Indian." On January 8, 2020, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico filed a lawsuit in the Second Judicial District Court against Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and former Cibola High School Teacher Mary Jane Eastin for violating the New Mexico Human Rights Act. This case has now reached the Supreme Court of the State of New Mexico and the next hearing will be on April 29, 2024 at Central New Mexico Community College. This episode opens with audio from the Albuquerque Public Schools District Equity and Inclusion Committee hearing on November 28, 2018, and closes with remarks from the Johnson family after the hearing. Full press release and call to action to follow. Stay updated on The Red Nation website and social media accounts. Podcast art created by McKenzie Johnson.

On February 10, 2024 at Nuwu Art Gallery on unceded Paiute territory (Las Vegas, NV), a group of Indigenous women organized a call to action to change the Kansas City NFL team's name. This press conference occurred the night before the Super Bowl and was moderated by Fawn Douglas from Nuwu Art Gallery. The main speakers--Amanda Blackhorse (nomorenativemascots.org), Gaylene Crouser from the Kansas City Indian Center, and Rhonda LeValdo (notinourhonor.com)--are all longtime activists of the movement to change racist teams names across the US, resulting in many victories. In July 2020, the Washington NFL team changed their name from the anti-Indigenous R-word slur to the Washington Football Team, and then the Washington Commanders in 2022. The success of this change can be attributed to the women on this panel and their movements. It was expected that the Kansas City team would follow suit, but it has yet to change its racist team name. On February 7, 2024, Amanda Blackhorse posted this call to action: The Kansas City "Chiefs" once again make it to the super bowl with their mockery of a name, logo, and complete misappropriation and disrespect for real and actual Native people, who have protested their franchise for years. Despite psychological research stating Native mascots and stereotypes of Native people (fryberg, markus, oyserman, & stone 2008) harm native youth, the KC team continues to stonewall Native people and stand on the wrong side of history. We know native cultural appropriation is a billion-dollar industry and the franchise has been living well off of the backs of Native people. With their growing popularity and the "swifting" of the NFL, we want to remind the public that not all franchises last forever. The Washington team and the Cleveland team had their success and downfall. What's been consistent is Native people standing against the theft of their identities and culture. We call on all Indigenous people, tribes, tribal leaders, Native organizations, Native artists, singers, drummers, and allies to stand with us on February 11, 2024 outside Super Bowl LVIII to protest the KC franchise. We ask these organizations and tribes make public statements standing in solidarity with Native organizers, Not in Our Honor, Kansas City Indian Center, Nuwu Art, and AZ rally. Protest will be held at Allegiant Stadium. Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel The Red Nation Podcast is sustained by comrades and supporters like you.
