Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse's thoughts on "sustainability" with a mix of music that fits the theme. "How is your heart? How is your mind? How is your body and how is your body treating you? How is life treating you? Or are you treating your life? I wonder about this word "sustainability." To me it's "sustain-ability" to live with earth. Our mind is, of course, gathering information from all points and not one linear beginning and ending." - Tiokasin Ghosthorse

Tiokasin is back with us this week and doing much better!
Rakel is 40 years old and was born and raised in Ittoqqortoormiit in northeastern Greenland. When she was 4 years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up she always heard the stories about how they came from a shamanic family, and she always asked deep questions to what it meant for their descendants. In 2012, she started her journey to actually learn about how her ancestors lived and saw the universe as a whole. She left society and went into nature and learned what nature, Silap aappaa (the other worlds) had to teach us. In 2019, she received her healer name, which is Rakel, and was accepted into the ancient lineage as an angakoq. Ever since, she has learned how to bring the spirits to the modern human and together figure out how to apply the ancient knowledge into a modern world. These profound methods of healing that are more relevant than ever, is what Rakel uses to help people to find themselves as souls, which has been so forbidden and hidden in many ways. "A soul, that is whole, is in balance with the world and in balance with themselves." Rakel is featured in a new film that will be out soon titled "The Eternal Song."

Tiokasin is out unexpectedly this week.
We are rebroadcasting the interview with Geraldine Patrick Encina from February 23 of this year:
"The 13 year cycle between 2012 to 2025 is marked on stone. It is marked on this stone that has been called the Aztec Calendar, and it is neither Aztec nor a calendar," says Geraldine Patrick Encina. Geraldine is a scholar focused on Mesoamerican calendars, Original Peoples' cosmologies, and the ethical principles embedded in earth-based traditions. Holding a Post-Doctoral degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México, her research has recovered Indigenous timekeeping systems and is providing pathways for Native colleagues to re-signify their connection to ecological cycles, offering refreshed insights into living in harmony with the natural world. She is a Member of the Grand Council of the Eagle and the Condor, a distinguished member of the Otomi Council of the High Lerma River Basin, and a member of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Biocultural Heritage Network of CONACYT. She is also a member of the Interamerican Society for Astronomy in Culture (SIAC), and a Board Member of the Pre-Columbian Society at the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Beyond her research, Geraldine is involved in projects that connect ancient wisdom to modern environmental challenges. As an Executive Member of Earth Timekeepers and coordinator of a collective research program to revitalize the original Maya calendar since 2011, she is helping shape the future of biocultural heritage in Quintana Roo State.Production Credits:

From the "First Voices Radio" archive.
Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with Ross Hamilton in the first half-hour. Ross is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island.
In the second half-hour, Dr. Paulette Steeves, Ph.D. (Cree-Métis) is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Dr. Steeves argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Dr. Steeves has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University. She is an associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. She is the author of "The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas," published in July 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press. Dr. Steeves has said that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation, transforming public consciousness, and confronting and challenging racism.

Guest for the full hour:
Returning guest Jonathan Gonzales was born in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico and grew up in southern California. He has spent the last 12 years learning earth living skills and ancestral ceremonial ways with many teachers and elders, combined with participating in Indigenous, earth-based ceremonies along with a quest to connect more deeply with his ancestral lineage, which is Indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico, Chinanteco from Mexico, and African. "Among other related topics, we discuss cults, culture and civilization and the differences and how different cultures are treated by cults and civilization," Tiokasin says.

Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli), co-host, is sitting for Tiokasin Ghosthorse this week. She talks for the entire hour with Michael Holloman (Colville Confederated Tribes) about Japanese photographer Frank S. Matsura (1873-1913), the subject of the exhibition "Frank S. Matsura: Portraits from the Borderland" that opened on Feb. 1 at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. The exhibition examines Indigenous representation and identity during a period of regional transformation in the early years of the 20th century. Michael is the lead curator of the original exhibition, which premiered at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Cultures in Spokane, Washington. He has guided the High Desert Museum's showing. The exhibition will be on view at the High Desert Museum through Sept. 7, 2025 and is traveling under the auspices of Art Bridges. More information at https://highdesertmuseum.org/
Michael works and lives in the ancestral homelands of the Nimiipuu and Palus peoples. He is an Associate Professor of Art and coordinator of Native Arts, Outreach and Education for the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University. Throughout his professional career he has developed extensive relationships with Native communities, artists, and cultural organizations across the region that support art-based programming and partnerships.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse and guest Anne Keala Kelly discuss representation and take the new Disney film "Moana 2" as the jumping off point for their conversation. They talk about the film and what's wrong with it for multiple cultural, spiritual and political reasons, and the way Disney and Hollywood continue to exploit Indigenous peoples and their cultures and profit from it. Keala is a Kānaka Maoli award-winning documentary filmmaker, journalist, podcaster, writer and activist living on Hawai'i Island. Her works address the critical links between cultural, environmental and spiritual survival in the movement for Hawaiian self-determination, and Indigenous peoples' struggles for territorial and political autonomy. She is an outspoken advocate for Indigenous self-representation in mass media. Keala is the author of "Our Rights to Self-Determination: A Hawaiian Manifesto," which was published in 2022. For more information about Keala and her work, visit annekealakelly.com. For background: Keala published this 2016 column, "The Unflattering Cultural Poaching of 'Moana' is a Threat" about the first Moana film and everything she wrote back then still rings true today: https://bit.ly/402Mp0a
