Resistance Radio with John and Regan

In the wake of the US celebration of their Declaration of Independence, let's talk about the guy who wrote it!

Eve helps run the Mexica Izkaloteka/Tontierra Cultural Embassy of Indigenous Peoples in Phoenix, Arizona and is headed to Atlanta to stand with others in offering a counter narrative to the celebration of Independence Day,

The Tiohateh or Two Row Wampum was about peaceful coexistence and respect for independence.

Any time I hear anyone claim the Declaration of Independence is the greatest thing ever written, I got to wonder.... Has anyone read this pack of lies?

We'll spend the next few weeks in the run up to Trump's Independence Day circus stating some of the obvious to anyone who ever read the Declaration of Independence.

According to the "Handbook on Federal Indian Law", Native people came under US authority by force and by treaty. They would have been more honest if it had said by force and by fraud! 

The vast majority of US holidays are some celebration of war. Memorial Day is just one of many. But it kicks off the Summer season and revs us up for the 250th celebration of the United States' first war; the war for independence! But still no justice for all and still no "all men are created equal."

I am not an "Indian" and I am not a "member" of a "tribe." Not my words and not my identity!

We spend the hour promoting our station and discussing Hawaii and our connections.

We continue to wreak havoc on the planet as we pretend 250 years of this behavior is something to celebrate.

DNA cannot determine ethnicity, origin stories or nationality. and why is it romantic for country singers to sing about refusing to sell land to developers. THAT was one of the reasons the US claimed for taking our lands.

Allegiance is literally in the definition of "citizen." But left out of the processes in the 14th Amendment, the takeover of Hawaii and the Indian Citizenship Act! I try once again to explain why more should be outraged over Native people being cast as a subclass of human existence in the US. That is exactly what "ward" status is! 

Native People were NOT made citizens under the Constitution!

Being a "citizen" is about having an allegiance to a government in exchange for protections. Freedom is not in the definition of citizenship. 

the USCCR has pushed to ban Native mascots for going on three decades!

All three of us have had U.S. citizenship imposed upon us!

The entire Me Too movement, every clergy sex abuse claim and everyone in the Epstein files can't come close to the number of children abused in 150 years of "Indian Boarding Schools!"

The Seneca people organized, researched and educated each other to rise up and oppose the policing agreement that their "leaders" entered into. They forced the Seneca Nation to rescind the agreement!

Some have suggested that our Kaianerehkowa (Great Law of Peace) was the foundation and basis for the US Constitution. Well, I'm here to say NOT EVEN CLOSE! Our ways rejected hierarchies! Yours created them based purely on being a rich white man. Ooh! What a coincidence! That's EXACTLY what you have now! Don't blame us! You didn't listen!
