Resistance Radio with John and Regan

Our first battles are always at home

Changing a national policy starts by changing the minds of our own people.

Live from our NYC studio; promoting our screening of Sugarcane and taking listener calls.

I took the 8 hour train ride to NYC for a Resistance Radio show from our Brooklyn studio and heading out to Long Island to screen Sugarcane at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington NY.

US Judge Margo Brodie threw out the challenge by four Long Island schools in federal court last week.

As I prepare to head out to Long Island to screen "Sugarcane" I hope some of those Long Islanders upset with Brodie's ruling come out to see the film and confront me on mascots.

Nettie Gould joins me from the Northwest in Washington and her attorney from Oklahoma to talk about a shifty not-for-profit.

The shady side of not-for-profits securing grants for Native peoples, Pretendians and hostile work places.

Nettie Gould and Sarai Cook join me!

Heading to NYC on April 10th for a show from our WBAI studio and a screening of "Sugarcane" at the CAC in Huntington, NY.

We'll screen "Sugarcane" at the Cinema Arts Centre on April 10th at 7:30pm in Huntington, NY.

David Harmony joins me to discuss our "Timeline" project.

The Story of the murder of Emily Pike and the impacts of Trump cuts on Native peoples

Emily Pike leads my conversation on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Then I turn to the impact the current White House administration is having on Native communities.

It must be great to be a Native American! You know! All that free stuff you get.

Many people believe we live on easy street; no taxes, free money, free college, free food. Oh! And Casinos, Smoke Shops and Cannabis Dispensaries! NOT!!

While the current notion of authoritarian resistance targets Trump, authoritarian rule over Native people predates Trump.

To this day, the most racist policies, legal doctrines and laws of the US target Native people.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Interior Dept, NYS, and the Seneca Nation

This may be my most comprehensive explanation on just what Native people, particularly the Senecas, have faced with casino gaming under IGRA.
