Honored Guests: Native American Political Prisoner
Leonard Peltier’s Attny Michael Kuzma
Topic: FOIA Hearing
"Leonard Peltier's unjust incarceration remains a festering sore that impedes better race relations in America. Surely the time has come to promote healing and a spirit of trust and genuine goodwill toward the Indian peoples of America with an act that serves both compassion and justice."
~~ the late Coretta Scott King
Phone in guest: Michael Kuzma Esq., Arguing attorney for Leonard Peltier
Special Guest: Michael Kuzma Esq., Arguing attorney for Leonard Peltier; Sr. Legislative Assistant to City Council President, Buffalo, New York....
Spoke about the The Freedom of Information Act how it could benefit Native American Political Leonard Peltier, who still waits for his Freedom....
Michael Kuzma, Esq. fresh out of a "FOIA Hearing" on Leonard Peltier’s behalf called in on NAMAPAHH First People's Radio on 5-1-08 from 7-8:00PM.
Mr.Kuzma introduced those unfamiliar with Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier’s case. Back in the late 1970's Peltier, who was a member of the American Indian Movement at the time, was charged with murder & convicted with the deaths of two FBI special agents, Jack Coler & Ronald Williams. These two agents died due to gunshot wounds on June 26, 1975 during a major shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Mr. Kuzma also updated those of us who have long followed Peltier’s case, many who even filled the streets with the chant "What do we want... 'Justice'...when do we want it... 'Now'... 'Free Leonard Peltier....."
Considering the time period in some people's minds, this could be considered just another Indian War, but modern day...many people died on Pine Ridge back then and sad to say many people are still dying on Pine Ridge. How many Native American people died at the hands and neglect by the US Government, for generations?
Isn't this supposed to be a Democracy that has been mandated by treaties to take care of tribal people? Isn't this the same US Govt. that has sent countless men & women off to the Middle East in the name of Democracy?
What is wrong with this picture? What happened to a fair trial? Why is Leonard still serving two life sentences? Why won't the FBI agency free these crucial records, claiming to withhold it in the name of "National Security" ? What will the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit decide after this hearing that happened last week? If Leonard's constitutional rights can be violated, what about yours/mine/future generations to come?
This is an election year, as we are all too well aware of- It's time for Justice, Leonard deserves a fair trial, like every person who lives in America.
Remember we stream all over the Mother Earth! Tell your friends & family to join us!

Honored Guests: (Very Tentative) Principal Chief Brenda Dadar-Robichaux of the United Houma Nation; Gabriel Ayala, classical guitarist- Nominated recently for the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards; Alaska Natives & Folk Musicians Patricia & Greg Wade:
Honored Guests: 8-8:30 PM (PST):
(Very Tentative) Principal Chief Brenda Dadar-Robichaux of the United Houma Nation:
Last week we had Indigenous Environmental Network spokesperson & staffer, Clayton Thomas-Muller on to speak in regards to the recent Hurricane Gustav that touched down in New Orleans and also impacted (once again) the tribal lands nearby, especially those of the United Houma Nation. IEN has helped bring attention to an Indigenous region & her people that main stream media has forgotten. NAMAPAHH First People’s Radio and other native radio stations & programs like NNN & NAC (see below for Monday’s interview with Principal Chief Dadar-Robichaux happening earlier tomorrow) have not forgotten them.
In fact, in 2005, NAMAPAHH gave weekly updates and asked for help on behalf of the United Houma Nation and other tribes, as well as others who had their world torn apart by the Hurricanes & the deadly floods.
We have asked Principal Chief Dadar-Robichaux to be on NAMPAHH last week & we missed her call, we have left the invitation open but the messages as hard to get to her because they have been without power & she is overwhelmed with trying to help her tribal members- some who reportedly have lost their homes at this point.
Special thanks to Tom Goldtooth of IEN who made arrangements for Mr. Clayton Thomas-Muller (IEN staffer) to call in at 8:30 PM (last week):
"He (Clayton Thomas- Muller) has been down to the homeland of Brenda and the Houma people. FYI - During and after Katrina/Rita, our IEN organization worked with Brenda profiling the impacts her communities experienced from the hurricanes. We linked their issues to the work our organization is doing on energy and climate justice. During November 2005, we took Brenda with our IEN delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Montreal, Canada. It is in this way that Clayton is familiar with Brenda and the Houma people."
And just before we went on air last Monday night, a new message from Tom:
“Chief Robichaux called me 1 hr. ago. She says she will call in at 10:30 her time (CST). She had electrical power outages. Where she lives, she is okay, but she doesn't know that status of the broader Houma tribal communities. She says she has been getting many calls from her tribal members wanting to know if they could return to their homes. She was critical of news blackout of rural areas, especially the bayou-coastal areas west of New Orleans. Most news are focusing only on the city of New Orleans.
I just heard one of the parishes (counties) of some of the communities where her tribal members are located are 100% without electricity (per WDSU-TV New Orleans, that was broadcasting on C-SPAN).”
So, if we do not hear from her- we will continue to send our thoughts & prayers & hope that those who can help, will. Here is an earlier call to action by Brenda via IEN:
On 8/31/08, ien@igc.org
For your information:
Below is a communiqu̩ put out by Brenda Dardar Robichaux, Principal Chief of the United Houma Nation. It is dated Friday, August 29, 2008. Following her statement, we have listed the name and contact information of the United Houma Nation Relief Fund. This Relief Fund was created in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which helped thousands of tribal members return home and re-build their communities. Even though it is unpredictable on what level of impact hurricane Gustav will have, we are looking at reports from television news stations that hurricane Gustav could hit New Orleans with some mapping evidence that appears it could impact the region west of New Orleans. If this is so, people must know that the communities of the Houma Nation are located west of New Orleans, in the bayou coastal area of Louisiana. We are posting Principle Chief Dardar-Robichaux's statement and contact information. РThank you for your support of the Houma Peoples, Tom G., IEN.
Message from the Principal Chief
Brenda Dardar Robichaux
8/29/08
It's difficult to imagine that on the third anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we are threatened with the possibility of being in the same position that we were three years ago. But please be assured we have learned many lessons, and we are better prepared than we were then. We are all keeping a watchful eye on Gustav and are aware of the impact he could have on our communities. We would urge each and everyone of you in the threat zone to evacuate if you are able to on your own or contact your local officials immediately if you need assistance. We have reached out and are coordinating with the local offices of emergency preparedness in all of our communities to ensure that they are aware of your needs. We are four days from expected landfall and realize that Hurricane Gustav's track can change many times. Please continue to check the web site. We will do our best to keep you updated and provide you with information as thing progress.
I pray the Creator blesses us with strength and courage during these difficult times.

Tom also alerted me to another chance to hear about what is going on with the United Houma Nation via Native America Calling:
http://www.nativeamericacalling.com/
Native America Calling Airs Live
Monday - Friday, 1-2pm Eastern
Monday, September 8, 2008 - Crisis on America's Coasts:
As many members of the United Houma Nation can attest that after Hurricanes Gustav and Katrina, storms are wreaking havoc on communities in coastal areas. As large storms get more frequent and more intense, many experts say that the increase is directly linked to global warming. As sea levels rise and weather becomes more unpredictable, how will Native peoples who have lived near the sea since time immemorial cope? Is global warming to blame for troubles along the coasts? Invited guests include Brenda Dardar-Robichaux, Principle Chief of the United Houma Nation.
PS: Special thanks to Dorinda Moreno; Tom Goldtooth; IEN; Amalia, Hanna, and many others who have kept an eye & so much more on this region and for the incredible outreach they are doing.
Here is more info & please take time to watch the "youtube" video that I found a link for on IEN's site: http://www.ienearth.org/
"A network of Indigenous Peoples empowering Indigenous Nations and communities towards sustainable livelihoods, demanding environmental justice and maintaining the Sacred Fire of our traditions."

Brenda Dardar Robichaux
Winner of 2008 Woman of Vision Award: After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated her tribe in Southeastern Louisiana, displacing more than 6,000 of their 17,000 members, Robichaux quickly mobilized to meet the immediate needs of the Houma Nation and established training in non-traditional jobs for women and leadership programming for girls.

“Singing from the Heart: Mother & Son Fulfill Lifelong Dream”
http://www.alaskawellness.com/jul-aug08/heartsinging.htm
“Upon turning 40, my firstborn son Greg shared with me his long-time secret wish: to sing and professionally record music. I was surprised and excited because for many years that had also been a secret wish of mine.
I still remember purchasing my first baritone ukulele from Sears and Roebuck when I was 12 years old. I used to sit alone in my bedroom for hours, singing and strumming. Back then, we had lots of sing-alongs at my parents’ house. People would come from miles around to eat and sing and play music. Out of tune or in, it didn’t matter. My favorite times were when I got to sing with my older brother, Larry. We had a few favorite songs such as Love of the Common People and Get Together. These were some of the songs that Greg learned to sing along with as a little boy.”
