In PART ONE of a series involving the little known prehistory of the Americas, especially North America. With on the rare exception, modern anthropology has difficulty admitting these people (giants) ever existed. Even as National Geographic shows evidence of ancient "little people" have been found in Asia and elswhere, there still remains a denial of the 1992 Native American Graves and Repatriation Act for Native peoples. The research continues about the facts that in North America, people of an implausible stature once resided in numbers enough to view their social order as different from any known to ethnologists. PART TWO continues next week. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/090625_100001fvoices.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/090625_100001fvoices.MP3 Thu, 25 June 2009 14:00:01 GMT FiRST VOICES INDIGENOUS RADIO Public Affairs TOM PORTER (Mohawk) www.mohawkcommunity. com Traditional Chief and his family come back to the valley from which their forefathers were exiled almost two hundred years ago. The Mohawk Nation, along with the Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Seneca, and Cayuga, made up the Iroquois Confederacy. This unique system of intertribal government was founded to establish peace and democracy among all the nations of the Iroquois (or, as they called themselves, the Haudenosaunee People of the Longhouse), while preserving the integrity of each. The principles of democracy laid down by the Iroquois Confederacy would be admired by the Founding Fathers of the United States and woven into the fabric of the Constitution.**********MARIO MURILLO – Professor at Hofstra University talks about the film “A Country of Peoples: Without Owners” was conceptualized, written, edited and produced by the Communication Team of the Association of Indigenous Councils of Northern Cauca, ACIN. *************ADELARD BLACKMON (Dene) from Buffalo River, Saskatchewan, Canada serves on the United Nations Indigenous Commission on Human Rights talks of his experience and insight of the treatment of earth. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/090618_100001fvoices.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/090618_100001fvoices.MP3 Thu, 18 June 2009 14:00:01 GMT FIRST VOICES INDIGENOUS RADIO Public Affairs Guests: FANNY BRAUNING - Director of NO MORE SMOKE SIGNALS (www.distantlights. ch/nomoresmokesignals/en/) and ROXANNE TWO BULLS (Lakota) discuss the new feature documentary about a what a historical community radio staion KILI Radio (Kiliradio.org) "the Voice of the Lakota Nation" means to the Pine Ridge, Cheyenne River, and Rosebud Lakota Reservations in South Dakota. *************Guest: MIKE KUZMA (whoisleonardpeltier. info) - Attorney for Leonard Peltier Convicted on the basis of fabricated and suppressed evidence, as well as coerced testimony, Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for over 30 years for a crime he did not commit.

(from the MNN) Quotes:Canada has always known that we were against putting guns in the hands of the border guards in the middle of our community. The US and Canada have abandoned their border checkpoints at Cornwall Island in the St. Lawrence River. The New York State Police and Cornwall City Police have closed down the bridges. We can’t easily get on or off the island or go about our normal lives. In fact we are imprisoned. Canada created propaganda against us to provoke a confrontation and then an assault. Then the guns were to be put into the middle of our community. We think other indigenous communities might be next. Prime Minister Harper just announced a policy that he was going to generously fund those Indigenous who cooperate with resource development and extraction. The rest of us will just have to sink or swim. We are being isolated on the island. Our trade and commerce with each other is being deliberately crushed. This is having a dire impact on our ability to feed our families. About $100 million worth of construction is planned around Cornwall and on the island for a humongous international commercial transport depot. We would never approve this. Respondents around us think that the customs facility should be moved off Cornwall Island. Others think a joint Canada-U. S. customs facility should be built on the south side. People on the US side like to have guns to control and scare people. Canadians generally don’t have the same necessity for them. Those CBSA guards who are being given guns have made it clear that they don’t like us. They are dangerous.(Unquote)
