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.

    Thanksgiving-A Day of Celebration or A Day of Mourning

    Thanksgiving to many New England Native American people is not a day to celebrate in the traditional sense, it is a day to mourn the losses and remember those who sacrificed their lives to be sovereign and free of the genocidal horrors brought on by the English settlers. European exploration, kidnappings and enslavement, conquest and colonialism, oppression and dehumanization are the experiences that have been passed down though the generations. Professor Julieanne Jennings is our guest. She is a Cheroenhaka Nottoway Indian. Julieanne Jennings is an adjunct professor of Anthropology at Eastern Connecticut State University and Rhode Island College. Join us as we discuss how the Thanksgiving season is always challenging because the truth about Thanksgiving has been glossed over in the history books and the media. Most Americans do not realize that the events that happened after the arrival of the English Settlers were brutal. We will discuss the historical psychic trauma that Native American, African American and American people throughout this society had to deal with. We will look at this painful history of the founders of this American system that has not been told truthfully. Some American people feel that Native people and African Americans should get over it and move on. Many do not understand that we are all suffering because of these omissions. In order to heal we must look at the facts and face the truth. Let the healing begin! Julieanne Jennings is an author of several books, artist, actress, storyteller, song writer and musician. Julieanne Jennings is the 2009 recipient of the Extraordinary Woman Award.

    Voices of the Canadian Holocaust Speak to the Pope

    Reverend Kevin Annett who recently returned from his trip to Europe will talk about the first public memorial service ever held in Rome for the victims of Catholic Indian Residential Schools, that occurred outside the Vatican on October 11, has evoked literal storms of change in the Roman Catholic church. Less than a day after the service, a rare tornado struck the center of Rome and the Vatican. Two days later, senior Vatican officials stated privately that they would meet with Rev. Kevin Annett and The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD) from Canada to discuss their demand that the remains of children who died under the care of the Catholic church be surrendered for a proper burial. Until the October 11 ceremony, the Vatican had refused to respond to the FRD and its letters to the Pope. One church insider recently informed Rev. Annett that the Curia's willingness to meet with him and the FRD represents "a major admission that genocide went on ... the Pope's back is to the wall on this one." Besides a return of the remains of residential school children, the FRD has called for the Catholic church to surrender the guilty, revoke genocidal papal bulls such as the Inter Caetera of 1493, and appear before an international war crimes tribunal. Held across from St. Peter's Square following the Pope's weekly Sunday service, the October 11 ceremony was officiated by Rev. Annett, who was commissioned by families of the dead and aboriginal elders in Vancouver to hold the service.
