Topic: Global Warming- Native Americans in the front-line- early warning from the far North!

Host: Robin Carneen

Program 4: Guests: Larry Miecurloff- Aleut Scientist/Alaskan Native Science Commission; Aleuts Canoe Family&(non-native) skipper Marcus Daniels; Eskimo Elder known as U.N.C.L.
E (Angaangaq, The Man Who Looks Like His Uncle)

DESCRIPTION: The Elders and Native American scientists & environmentalists are saying that this is a time to re-connect. The interviews and voices you will hear on this special program, are from the front lines and trenches of places that are feeling the heavy impact of Climate Change/ Global Warming.


Intro Music: Edge of America/Annie Humphrey/So Comes the Rain/Edge of America

HOST NARRATIVE:(WITH ALEUT SONG IN BACKGROUND)

"Native singer-songwriter Annie Humphrey sings a bittersweet sonet that is a an invitation to wake up and pay attention to the affects and outfall of Global Warming- hurricanes, snowfall during off season, like we saw this Spring, even here in the NW. Life has been lost, can we afford the Climate Change? Can we prevent some of these natural disasters, by simply being better caretakers & environmentalists? With more information and a combined effort, I would say "Yes".


Past Vice president of the United State's Al Gore film " Inconvenient Truth " has brought world wide attention to the issue of Global Warming. It echos growing concerns, like Annie Humphrey's and many other people's across the Mother Earth.


We don't often have a chance to hear the Native American, Alaskan Native voices, we hope to provide that platform & Indigenous education on NAMAPAHH First People's Radio. The interviews and voices you will hear on this special program, are on the front lines and are being heavily impacted by Global Warming.
There communities, their food sources, and even their culture are being impacted in the far reaches & Villages of the North, in an alarming way!

In 2005, a small contingent of Aleut Natives visited the North west as part of a Annual Tribal Canoe Journey, flying into Seattle with their bidarkas & traveling by water with nearly 100 canoes,landing after weeks on the shores of Lower Elwha Tribes shores, near Port Angeles. They also returned to the shores, for their second journey, coming through the Locks of Seattle in 2006. You are hearing them singing a traditional song in the background.

During this program we will share some of their emotional statements and songs from their Saint Paul & Saint George Islands-in Alaska during Lower Elwah's protocol time. Richard Zacharof (pronounced ZA HAR OFF), tribal President of the Aleut community of St Paul Island started off the story of how they came to be on journey and why they came along on the annual healing journey.


What they share, is hope.... that despite losing, literally acres and acres of their Island, due to rising temperatures and increased & expedited melting of the polar ice caps.


But it will take more than these healing journeys to remedy this environmental disaster that we are all facing and feeling the impacts of.


I believe what happens to one, happens to all. Stay tuned because we will first hear from Aleut Scientist Larry Miecurloff (meh-cool-ee-off), also from Saint Paul Island, who has first hand scientific knowledge and concerns about the cultural & social repercussions of Global Warming, that is happening now. As small as the world is, he actually helped fund the building of the bidarkas that a year before brought some his village members & Mark Daniels to the shores of Lower Elwha. Mark is a non- native who had the vision & desire to help the community get back to a tradition that would help unify the community, that is now suffering other social symptomatic problems that we should all be paying close attention to.


Photobucket

Later on NAMAPAHH First People's Radio we will also we will share a related interview from an Eskimo messenger, known as U.N.C.L.E- who is Melting the Ice in the heart of man as he shares a song his mother told to share with us all.

Outro Music : Floyd Redcrow Westerman: They Didn't Listen.....



Outro HOST NARRATION:

"Like Native American Musician Annie Humphrey, Cherokee Musician Michael Bucher, through his song "Do what we must" introduces concerns about repercussions of Global Warming and how our actions as humans or lack of actions is contributing to the polar ice caps melting at an high rate of speed. You also heard interviews and sharing by Alaskan Natives that are reaching out to us, all of us, warning us of things to come, as far as Mother Nature is concerned. As we mourn the loss of our Native American Elder Floyd Redcrow Westerman, we heed his warning about "Listening".
We are glad you took the time to do just that- now do what we all need to do what we must!"

September 12th, 2008

[]

Happy Birthday Leonard!

Once again, we have created an online birthday card for Leonard Peltier. This online card will be printed out on September 2nd, 2008 and will be sent to Leonard.


To add your wishes to this birthday card, please send a text message, or a photograph, or a nice graphic to:

peltier-bd2008@skynet.be

Yes indeed, this year you can send in pictures!!!
Suggestions: a photograph of yourself wearing a Free Peltier t-shirt, carrying a banner, holding a photograph of Leonard, holding a birthday cake, participating at a (past) Peltier event...
But sending in a photograph or picture is not necessary. A plain text message is okay. And if you can't find the words... a simple "Happy Birthday" with your name is just fine too! :-)

When sending in your birthday wish, please do not forget to add your name, your city and state or country! Leonard likes to see that his supporters and friends live all across the globe.

Needless to say: we will not post anonymous messages.


Please note that your messages and pictures will not be posted automatically. We add them "manually" after filtering out the nasty or crazy messages. Sadly enough, there are always idiots out there who send those irritating messages.

Once your B.D. wish is posted, you will receive a confirming message. New additions will appear at the bottom of the list.


http://users. skynet. be/kola/lp-bd2008. htm


In the past years, hundreds of supporters worldwide signed the online birthday card. Let's do it again, folks and make this a GIANT surprise card for Leonard.


Remember: the deadline is September 2nd !!!

Okay, we're ready for your B.D. messages...


Warm regards to all,

Els & Vivienne

The Way of Honor
Honor is the Beauty Way.
The Honor of one is the Honor of all.
Honor opens the gift you are to the world.
Building relations with Honor is our only job.
Creator gave us everything else.
Women hold up the sky so men can fly.
A man is only as free as the women he Honors.


"It is said that there will be a time when the gifts of the four sacred colors - red, white, black and yellow - will come together from the Four Directions and combine to create something new that has not been seen since the beginning of time."
Ilarion (Larry) Merculieff, Inuit elder

TICKETS ON-SALE NOW


PRESENTED BY THE NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC ASSOCIATION AND THE MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN TRIBE


Seattle, WA- The Native American Music Association (N.A.M.A.) is proud to present a special concert featuring upcoming N.A.M.A. Hall of Fame inductees Redbone with their certified gold recording of COME & GET YOUR LOVE and Taste of Honey's Janice Marie Johnson with her multi-platinum single BOOGIE OOGIE OOGIE in a special Hall of Fame Concert on Saturday August 16th at the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe's White River Amphitheatre on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation.

Redbone, featuring original founding member Pat Vegas, is a Native American rock group that reached the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1974 with the song, "Come and Get Your Love." The Pop/Funk song was certified Gold by the R.I.A.A for selling over one million copies is still heard today on radio stations throughout the country. Formed in Los Angeles, California, by Patrick Vasquez (Pat Vegas) on bass and vocals and his brother, Lolly, the name Redbone itself is a reference to the band members' mixed blood ancestry. Their first commercial success came with the single "Maggie" from their second recording, Potlatch, in 1970, and two other hit singles followed - "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" (1971) and "Come and Get Your Love" (1974). In 1973 Redbone released the politically oriented "We were all wounded at Wounded Knee" recalling the massacre of Lakota Sioux Indians by the Seventh Cavalry in 1890. The song reached the 1 chart position in Europe. With 15 recordings to their credit throughout their 40-year career and covers by the Real McCoy, Earth Wind & Fire and Cyndi Lauper, the Native American Music Awards will induct Redbone along with Janice-Marie Johnson into the N.A.M.A. Hall of Fame at the Tenth Annual Awards show on October 4, 2008 in New York.

Janice-Marie will also be joining Redbone at White River Amphitheater. Janice-Marie is the founder and principal songwriter of the internationally acclaimed and Grammy award-winning group A Taste of Honey. A Taste of Honey's self-titled debut release rocked the record industry with the multi-platinum Disco/R&B smash hit "Boogie Oogie Oogie," a Janice-Marie penned composition. The recording garnered the group a Grammy for "Best New Artist of the Year," and nominations for "Best R&B Single" and "Best Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo." Through the years, Janice-Marie's songs have been covered, sampled and borrowed many times. Her music of yesterday contributes greatly to the success of numerous 'R&B,' 'Pop,' 'Rap' and 'Hip Hop' artists of today including; Ice Cube, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, and Japanese and European artists as well. Her music has also been showcased on television programs including "American Idol," "All My Children," "Swingtown," "The Oprah Winfrey Show," and movie credits including; "A Fate Worse Than Death," "Step Mom," "Mystery Man," "Contact" among others. Commercial credits include Coca Cola, Frito Lay, The New York Lottery, Burger King and Old Navy. With a 30-year career behind her, Janice-Marie the record producer, musician, songwriter and entertainer has once again returned to the limelight with the release of her long-awaited CD "Hiatus Of The Heart." The single, "Until The Eagle Falls", embraces her Stockbridge-Munsee-Mohican heritage, and garnered Janice-Marie with a 2002 "Nammy Award for 'Best Producer.'


The Blues-rock group Indigenous featuring lead singer, guitarist and primary composer & lyricist, Mato Nanji will be opening for Janice Marie Johnson and Redbone . Indigenous began their career as a Native American family raised on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota. From the earliest Indigenous performances, Mato's fiery guitar playing was widely recognized among the greatest of his generation. Indigenous signed with Pachyderm Records in September of 1998. They released their first single, "Now That You're Gone," that same year. The record, according to K. L. Testerman in Lakota Times, was the fifteenth most played rock and roll song in the United States. Indeed, by early 1999, Indigenous' music reverberated from radio stations across the lower 48 states and was awarded the Native American Music Awards' Group of the Year with the release of Live At Pachyderm Studios in 1999. A second single, "Things We Do," was released on video and received Best Video at the American Indian Film Festival that year. By the end of the 1999 calendar year, Indigenous was a popular opening band for prominent blues performers such as B. B. King and Bob Dylan. Critical comparisons between Mato and legendary Carlos Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughn remain commonplace. Indigenous currently performs as many as 200 concerts annually. They are expected to release their next CD recording, "Broken Lands" on August 19th.


Apache Gospel artist, Johnny Curtis, will also be performing and will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement award.

REDBONE

About REDBONE:

REDBONE takes their name from an old Cajun word meaning half-breed. A name aptly selected by Patrick Vegas and his brother Lolly as they are both Yaqui Indians of Mexican origin.





Born in Fresno, California, their early lives were spent shuffling between migrant camps picking grapes, cotton or whatever crop was ready to be harvested. They worked for migrant wages in order to help their family of twelve children and so they could afford the musical instruments they desperately wanted and needed. These boys were blessed with talent, which couldn’t be denied…that talent was music.





Patrick and Lolly grew, worked and learned together while yet in their teens, they backed the likes of Odetta and John Lee Hooker. They began to write music, always with the dream to have their own group to perform their original material. Eventually, their songs were recorded by Aretha Franklin, The Righteous Brothers and Bobbie Gentry.





By the early 1970’s they had built a local California following and were signed to a five year contract with CBS/Epic. They made the charts with their first hit, “Maggie” and sold three million copies of their LP, “Witch Queen of New Orleans”. Their single, “Come and Get Your Love”, charted with Billboard and Cashbox for twenty-two weeks holding at #1 for fourteen weeks. The 1980’s signaled a time-out for Redbone. It was a time to become students of the spiritual elders of their tribe. A time to direct this special energy into developing new instrumental techniques and writing new material.




In the 90’s Redbone came out with an album on RCA, which they recorded 10 songs called “Cycles”. After that they went to Avenue Records which is Warner Bros. And recorded “Redbone Live”.





Pat Vegas still continues to be the heart and soul of Redbone writing the music with brother Lolly (who had a stroke and no longer tours with the band), singing and playing lead guitar. Pat has surrounded himself with the best Native American musicians and singers and created a Redbone that will continue to have amazing success in both recording and live appearances.

Yakama treaty rights champion Aleck dies

Yakama treaty rights champion Aleck dies
Former Tribal Council member respected, revered
by Phil Ferolito
Yakima Herald-Republic





Former longtime Yakama leader Leo Aleck, a recognized medicine man among his people who fought for tribal treaty rights, died at home Thursday. He was 80.





He was regarded as a man who strongly upheld tribal traditions as well as the best interest of his people.





"He had a real strong stance of the treaty as far as the tribal government protecting treaty rights," said tribal member Rudy Maldonado. "It's like a fading and dying ambition in our tribal leadership.



"

Aleck, whose Indian name is Shamootum, helped lead a crusade against a state compact that required tribal smoke shops to assess a tax similar to the state's on cigarettes. He even moved to shut down the tribe's chamber of commerce to stop the taxation.





Since, the tribe has pulled out of tax-compact talks with the state over any new or modified agreements.





Aleck also launched lawsuits against The Dalles Dam seeking compensation over lost fish runs that occurred when the dam was first erected.





A settlement is still pending in his lawsuit against the Bonneville Power Administration over power lines traversing the property of 14 tribal families in the Columbia River Gorge.





"It's really sorry to hear about Leo -- It's sad," Maldonado said. "You know, he was a treaty man. He always wanted to protect treaty rights.



"

Aleck was a longtime secretary of the Yakama General Council, an arm of the tribe's government that directly represents the people, before serving seven years on the Yakama Tribal Council, a 14-member board that oversees the tribe's daily operations.





"He did try to do what was right," said General Council Vice Chairwoman Mavis Kindness. "He was a very strong traditional person. He had his own strong belief in values and always treated everyone with respect and regard.





"He never spoke behind anyone's back," she added. "He was always up front and said whatever he had to say.



"

A member of the Klickitat band and fluent in his traditional language, he was well respected as a medicine man with the gift of healing.





"He had a good sense of humor and was held in high regard by all the (tribal) community in the Goldendale area," Kindness said. "He used to come over all the time and sing with our family.



"

An Army veteran, Aleck worked two years in postwar Yokohama, Japan, and escorted the bodies of two serviceman back to the United States to be buried.





Aleck is survived by his wife, Shawashnye "Lefty" Aleck of Toppenish; two sisters, Pearl Charley of Malott, Wash., and Joanne Tahmalwash of Wapato, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was proceeded in death by one son, Leo Aleck Jr.





Dressing services will be today at 10 a.m. at Colonial Funeral Home in Toppenish, followed by overnight services at Toppenish Longhouse.





A procession will leave the longhouse at 6:30 a.m. Saturday and head to Toppenish Creek Cemetery in White Swan, where Aleck will be buried.








BRIAN FITZGERALD/Yakima Herald-Republic As a US Army corporal in 1946, Leo Aleck, 77, worked for two years in graves registration in post-war Yokohama, Japan, and escorted the bodies of two servicemen back to the States to be buried. More than five decades later, the longtime tribal councilmember and recognized medicine man is embroiled in a fight with the Bonneville Power Administration over the utility's alleged trespass on the two 80-acre Vancouver allotments passed down to Aleck and his sisters, high above the Columbia river near Wishram. Aleck—his indian name, Shamootum, belonged to his father's father, a Klickitat—doesn't consider himself a warrior. "The nearest thing to that is what I'm doing here—protecting our treaty rights, if it takes going to court here or going to the congressional people or just actually going down and confronting somebody up in Ellensburg or the Goldendale area," he said.
