Genocide Cover-Up Day
We just finished another good "Genocide Cover-Up Day" program on KBOO. Genocide Cover-Up Day was started some 15 years ago by Theresa Mitchell, and eventually taken over by me.
Genocide Cover-Up Day was started because the actual annual holiday of alleged Thanksgiving was started as a celebration of killing Indians. Theresa understood this denial and made comment about it and thus started this program.
This year we had different voices. I invited my sweetie, Rhonda, to be on the show and she gave her perspective as an Indian and a healer and a woman. Warren Robinson came down and offered up some poetry and his perspective as a Cherokee.
Ani Haines, volunteer coordinator and long time participant brought with her a woman's perspective. She is a witch and has a vast knowledge of the genocide of the women in Europe and how it has effected society to the present day.
Theresa Mitchell, the shows originator, had much to offer as well in just her few words.
Courtney Herman came down and discussed the issue through her film about Alex and Debra White Plume and their effort to reverse the effects of genocide via growing hemp to help the Lakota economy on the impoverished Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The movie is titled "Standing Silent Nation." You can find it at www.prairiedustfilms.com. It is an excellent documentary.
We also had Robert Miller, author of the recently published book, "Native America Discovered and Conquered." It is about the use of the Doctrine of Discovery in the development of this nation through the figures of Lewis and Clark and Thomas Jefferson who is not really a nice man. Robert gave us an better understanding of its use as a tool of genocide against indigenous peoples.
Richard Ullum came down and engineered for us again this year. Thank you Richard. His support is always great and I am very thankful for it.
And all of the callers I thank you for calling in and offering your questions and comments, and all you listeners, thank you for listening. Share this information with others. Generosity of knowledge is as important as generosity in general. Share share share and soon we will reach that 100th monkey and EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE.
There will be pictures to follow in the next day or so as well.
Thank you all and do what you can to end the horrible crime of genocide. Do not think you can't. Your work is as important to this effort as the work of those famous for attempting to stop this global crime. Thank you!
