Fascinating subject today. Listened to it again, because at times it got a bit esoteric for me. I think I get the gist of it, tho, and I do want to understand with more clarity.

    Are Afro-Caribbeans, like so many of us, still in the grips of an identity crisis? Too often Racial Identity and Culture continue to clash whenever African ancestry surfaces.

On August 16 the Life Pieces to Masterpieces center was vandalized causing an estimated $10,000 worth of damage. Find out how this crisis inspired people from the neighborhood, students from universities and other organizations to work together to clean up the debris so the children could continue their summer program at the center.

    Red and Black Bluez-- Rez Style

    Red and Black Bluez-- Rez Style is the topic of discussion on Talking Feather Radio. We unearth the hidden history of the African and Native cross cultural blues connection with singer, songwriter and pianist Murray Porter and Aboriginal activist and producer, Elaine Bomberry. Murray Porter is Mohawk born and raised on the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory in southern Ontario. Murray says "He's a red man, singing the black mans' blues, living in a white man's world." (Lyrics from his song "Colours"). Through his blues he tells the Aboriginal side of history with a mixture of country, blues and humor. Elaine Bomberry is also from Six Nations on the Grand River. She is a freelance Aboriginal arts activist/promoter/radio producer. Elaine has been the driving force behind Rez Bluez TV which showcases Native talent from Canada and the US. She produced a major 3 hour radio documentary series called "The Aboriginal Music Experience" on Aboriginal music throughout the world.

    UNREPENTANT - The Untold Story of the Genocide of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada

    Activist, filmmaker and author Kevin Annett lays the story out about the horrors experienced by Aboriginal Peoples who were taken by force from their families and put into boarding schools. The exposure of the Canadian genocide has simultaneously indicted the social order that gave rise to it. Euro-Canadian Christian society as a whole stands condemned in the dock alongside those persons who ran the Indian residential schools, sterilized and murdered children, spread smallpox, and dug mass graves. Despite their best efforts to ignore this fact and contain the whole matter with pseudo “apologies”, the Canadian government and its partner Catholic, Anglican and United churches now face the same kind of historical reckoning that Nazi Germany did after its defeat in 1945: an awakening to their own criminal nature. On April 20, 2007, Canada and those churches suffered a fundamental moral defeat in Parliament, when the first cabinet minister in Canadian history publicly acknowledged that untold thousands of children had died in Christian Indian residential schools.

    Martha's Vineyard-A Legacy of Inter-Ethnic Alliance

    Martha's Vineyard, the island located off the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts, is getting a lot of attention these days because President Obama and family chose the island for their vacation. There are many rich and famous people who live and vacation there. There is a rich and fascinating story that is not often told that brings to light the Wampanoag People who were living on the land when the English arrived. The Wampanoag are the holders of the history and keepers of the land. They have struggled to survive, maintain their cultural ways and hold on to the land. The other part of the history is that of the English who held Africans as slaves. Yes, slavery and indentured servitude are a part of the history of the island. We will explore this topic with our guest Grace Lynis, a researcher, historian, managing director and founder of Cinnamon Traveler Heritage Trust (www.cinnamontraveler.org). Join us as we delve into the story and legacy of the First Nations People and African Diaspora collaborative resistance from colonial times through the antebellum period to the present.
