Arriving from the #TrailOfTears, the Mvskoke chose an oak tree on top of a hill that overlooked the Arkansas River as the site of their council ground. They lit a new ceremonial fire, using coals they had carried on their journey.
“Songs of the Council Oak” came from the recordings of bioelectrical outputs from the Council Oak tree.
The binary code is then inputted into Buchla #Synthesizers to create the unique sound.

Do not worry, the program will also be on audio streaming platforms such as Apple Music, IHeart Radio and Spotify.

He was such a #trailblazer & inspiration for many native comedians who came after. RichardPryor recognized Charlie's talent & gave him a TV spotlight in the late 70s.

“I question a lot, because I am taking these stories that are supposed to be passed down verbally, but I want to preserve them, and I want to share them. That's a part of how I can be a part of reconciliation. My family is willing to share, and I have the ability to share these a little bit wider.”

“We should not have to prove our citizenship, […] We are the original people in this country, but we’re in a #scary time right now, and I don’t want any #American #Indian to get lost in the #system. [ICE] ‘lost’ children the last time they did this. They lost little brown children that will never be reunited with their parents. And that is horrible. […]”
'#KevinBAnderson presents his newly published book, #TheLateMarxsRevolutionaryRoads, based on systematic analysis of #KarlMarx’s “Ethnological Notebooks” and related #Marx texts from his final years, 1869-1883.
'In these writings, Marx traveled beyond the boundaries of capital and class in the Western European and North American contexts, turning his attention to #colonialism, agrarian #Russia and #India, #Indigenous societies, and #gender.'

I was 13 when my mom taught me an important lesson: I am not Canadian — I am Anishinaabe, and it's the reason I will not participate in a colonial political system or vote in this year's federal election.

“Some of the works had never been seen at all. They went directly from the artist to the collectors so it’s going to be a lot of that kind of stuff in there, work that you’ve never seen before.”
“To cry is one of the first things we do as soon as we arrive in this world. So that's where I start and then I like to end with ‘whisper’ after ‘holler’ because I feel like I learned how to be loud long before I ever learned how to be quiet.”

American Museum of Natural History had a precious 
Mowachaht/Muchalaht whaling shrine in storage for 120 years.
It's going home. 
The shrine was in a secret location near Yuquot, which was also the point of first contact between European colonists and west coast nations in Canada.
It is possible to visit Yuquot by taking the working-ferry from Gold River. Great day trip!
