The end of the world as we know it is a popular topic for filmmakers, writers and artists. Current real life events are also fueling apocalyptic discussions. In recent years the scientists and others who control the Doomsday Clock moved the perceived threat to its highest level since the mid-80s. Indigenous people have their own prophesies and signs of the end. They also have unique histories of resilience in the face of colonization, disease, war and foreign invasion. We’ll take on the End of Times from a Native perspective.
Guests:
Johnnie Jae (Otoe-Missouria and Choctaw) – founder of the Tribe Called Geek
Bunky Echo-Hawk (Pawnee and Yakama) – artist
Dr. Daniel H. Wilson (Citizen of the Cherokee Nation) – best-selling author “robopocalypse” and “The Clock Word dynasty.”
Break Music: Steadfast (song) Mr.Elive, Phillip Charette (artist) Tengaurtukut (album)
Pan Native American outlook is a misguided tool for unity, Not all Indians lost the land or their culture. How many natives are Diabetic or on dialysis. Tons would die. Plants, animals are adapting to climate change. The culture is lost when death is handed out so carelessly. No sage, sweet grass will bring them back. I guess “all my relations” come with a fine print. It was never black and white. Indians help shaped what this country has done and will do. There is no separation. It was never the beaten and beater.
