Resistance Radio with John and Regan

Resistance Radio with John Kane 8/10/23; Identity theft, false claims, recognition and the fight for our identiy.

I can't ignore that "Pretendianism" isn't a problem. According to the 2020 US Census, those identifying as "Native Americans" increased by 87%. Not only is that impossible, I don't even know how many real Native people participate in the US Census. So to say there is a problem is an understatement. But getting pulled into the Pretendian Battlefield is something I won't do.

Resistance Radio with John Kane 8/3/23; Truth and Restoration!

Don't talk to me about "healing" or "reconciliation" without proper redress and restoration of what your Genocide took! Residential Schools were Genocide!

Resistance Radio with John Kane 7/27/23; What do we do about judges who lie in their rulings and opinions?

Resistance Radio with John Kane 7/19/23; Is the history taught in school real history or just propaganda?

Can you teach Black history without teach about slavery, Jim Crow, or the battle for civil rights? Well, what Native history and what about contemporary Native issues and life?

Resistance Radio with John Kane 7/10/23; A tribute to Ateronhiatakon

When we lose a loved one we feel a deep sense of personal loss. But when we lose an elder in a Native community, we lose an invaluable source of history, culture and language.

Resistance Radio with John Kane 7/7/23; The Plenary Powers Doctrine is a LIE!

No matter how many lawyer, judges or scholars say it, even the Native ones, the claim that Congress has plenary powers over the affairs of Native people is just false. There is no legal or historical basis for the claim. We never agreed to this transfer of power and sovereignty and there was neither a taking of it by force nor even the slightest mention of it in the US Constitution. It actually says just the opposite. 

Resistance Radio 6/29/23; Our solutions are political and diplomatic, not legal.

We cannot find justice in a legal system based on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and the Plenary Powers Doctrine. Our only solutions are achieved through political means. We don't need laws passed by colonial powers to protect us because they don't. All their laws are about domination and dominion. 

Resistance Radio with John Kane 6/22/23; Wanting gaming in the worst way and getting it: Seneca Gaming!

After 21 years of getting screwed by New York State, Seneca leadership laid down for the State once again with terrible terms for a new gaming compact with the State. The State Legislature refused to give the Governor authorization to proceed with the current proposal and the Seneca People are livid.

Resistance Radio with John Kane 6/15/23; So the SCOTUS saved ICWA! Well, we better talk about that!

The Indian Child Welfare Act is touted as having ended Residential Schools and stemming the flow of Native children to white families through foster care and adoption. Well... That's not entirely true. And any claim that ICWA recognized our sovereignty? THAT is completely untrue. If it were true, the law would have told states that WE are the only ones authorized to remove Native children from their homes and parents and that our Nations would be responsible for placement of these children.

It doesn't and we aren't!

But far worse than the law was the challenge before the Supreme Court.

Resistance Radio with John Kane 6/9/23; A bit of a rundown on upcoming shows and topics

There are always a lot of issues facing Native people and many of them tie directly back to our identity and distinction and the battle against assimilation. I continue to speak on the Native mascot issue but there is a growing list of topics that are beating at our doors. The SCOTUS is about to rule on a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act in "Haaland v Brackeen." This case challenges whether we are merely an inferior race of Americans rather than a distinct, autonomous people. A new gaming compact is set for debate and approval with the Seneca Nation and New York State. Another sellout and payoff to the State? We'll cover that. And an on-going battle over the New York State Thruway as it cuts through the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation is a show coming soon.
