For the longest time, history books and local festivals celebrated California’s missions with pride. But the missions have another legacy when it comes to that state’s Indigenous people that includes slavery, abuse, disease and massacres that cut the Native population to a fifth of what it was. We’ll find out how California is coming to grips with its past treatment of Native people.
Guests:
David Bolton – executive director of the California Missions Foundation
Leah Mata-Fragua (Chumash) – tribal councilwoman for the yak tityu tityu yak tiłhini Northern Chumash
Dr. Jonathan Cordero (Ramaytush Ohlone) – visiting professor in the Indigenous Law Center at the UC Hastings Law

Knowledge is power so I will share some w/everyone!!
Be sure & pay attention to educational governing boards, educational non profits, museums, universities, student organizations, federally funded NDN Ed., etc ? And dig deep into who runs FB pages, non profits, their board members & agendas!!
We are NA!!! Or these now United States!!
How do you “DE”colonize a “colonized” institution like San Diego State University?!?! Rhetorical!!
I have already seen & experienced the DISrespect provided by “North American” “indigenous” on OUR treaty homelands !! No thanks! And to top it off the sneaky behaviors do NOT appeal to me one bit !!
SDSU and their “Aztec mascot, moniker, spirit leader, oh just a name” BS!!
And not listening to the minimal genocide populations voices of OUR KUMEYAAY on OUR UNceded treaty territory-using government divide & conquer, providing 2nd class citizenship, and ALL of this can all be yours as indigenous!!”
This “DE” colonize, “indigenous,” & “Aztec wanting “their” land back, including the ENTIRE NORTH AMERICA” was enough for me to see!
The indoctrination through the required reading material allegedly written by the daughter of a “part Indian/possibly Cherokee?!?!”
Why so many BIASED committees w/duplicate membership?
If your goal is to “DE” colonize as you claimed to share/stake holders then why appoint a STEM-HSI researcher in charge of the “native resource center!” Mentorship program and have her play music in SPANISH?!?! Isn’t that another language of a different “colonizer?!?!” Yet, she wanted to “educate” me ? at a US funded, US located, ON US Treaty territory …….ummmm no gracias!!!
Why so many committees “Aztec governance, Aztec education, Aztec identity, ad nauseam, all for something that is identified by President Delatorre as “just a word?!?!” But yet intentionally use biased duplicate membership, including but not limited to the LYING Latin studies researcher that claimed to be on a NON existent KUMEYAAY land acknowledgment committee, yes, Ms Ramona L Perez!!!!
US DOE secretary, former CA state employees Association UNION PRESIDENT———-Miguel Cardona giving out NEH grants to “efface & palimpsest” documents in AZ!
When SD Governor Noem removed the Oceti Sakowin curriculum from the public education system, this same US DOE Secretary responded with to the effect of “ while Native American history is important withOUT the funding I find it difficult to provide a mandate.”
Yet shortly thereafter the CA Dept of Ed. released their newly required Ethnic Studies curriculum, which conveniently included NOT a CA tribe’s language but the NAHUAL language in the children’s chant & described is “an American Indian language of the SOUTHWEST!” Where is CA TRIBAL REPRESENTATION?!?! That others say matters?!?! Because it doesn’t suit the agenda being implemented they baby steps!!
And $10 million for a “NAHUAL indigenous school in LOS ANGELES!” From LAUSD-insisting upon their benefiting from “indigenous rights” but yet those w/sovereignty & US treaty in SD are DISrespected ?!?!
ALL 50 states receiving his NEH grants in a strategized & organized manner to push this ideology! To “educate the educators!” Including AZ to “efface & palimpsest” document(s) things that make go hmmm..
The “NAHUAL” language used to name all of the housing units at SDSU on KUMEYAAY TREATY TERRITORY! AGAIN,
The NAHUAL language (“ an American Indian language of the southwest!”)
Where is KUMEYAAY representation on KUMEYAAY UNCEDED treaty territory?!?!
Where is the RESPECT of a sovereign nation?!!!
Where is the RESPECT for a genocide surviving minimal population?
The sneaky behind the scenes laws, rules, & regulations to undermine US TREATIES & CA TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY!!
Who benefits from GUARANTEED HSI/STEM-HSI designation?
Who loses with historical underfunding of TCU’s & their NON guaranteed funding?
Who provides accreditation of TCU’s?!?!
Who is on educational governing boards?
Who is on educational non profits?
DISrespect OF US tribes, sovereignty & treaties, etc NO THANKS!! Typical divide & conquer tactics by SDSU’s “9th PERMANENT president?!?!”
Check out “indigenous,” or alleged “Native American” organizations, those named in the “Aztec” “Nahuatl” “mayan” language & others!! before following as they may be stealing posts w/a different goal in mind!!
