Reclaiming Native American History: The Yuki of Thule Valley

By Sovereignty

code: N317   $8.00
The bronze plaque on the Historical Marker at the entrance to the Round Valley Indian Reservation reads: “This valley was discovered by Frank M. Asbill arriving from Eden Valley, on May 15, 1854. During the same year, Charles Kelsey from Clear Lake also visited it, …” What really happened on that day was that the Asbill brothers opened fire and killed 39 Yuki who had come to greet them. A year later the settlers returned and rounded up 30 young women and sold them as slaves to the gold miners.
TUC Radio brought a micropower transmitter onto the reservation to broadcast community meetings about re-writing of the historic marker. This program give a sense of the way [ . . . ]

Frank Kanawha Lake

By Environment

code: N316   $8.00
When TUC attended an Indian wedding in the Trinity Alps four young men arrived with a gift of freshly caught salmon. Maria watched their cooking ceremony and learned from other guests that they are Native American graduate students at the University of Oregon, Corvallis, who work as a team. They study aquatic ecology, conservation biology and salmon runs while maintaining a knowing and respectful connection to their native traditions. They refuse to be confined to university labs and spend much of their time doing field work, learning from elders. They lead regular salmon camps with Native American youth. Frank Lake is a student as well as a teacher.

Ward Churchill – The History Of Cointelpro And The FBI

By Sovereignty

This is a passionate, scholarly, and far reaching analysis of the Counter Intelligence Operations of the FBI. Beginning with World War I, Churchill covers the Palmer Raids, the defeat of the Anarchists and of Marcus Garvey; the attacks on the Civil Rights Movement, the 1964 murders of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney, and the murders of Black Panthers. Dedicating his speech to Leonard Peltier, who by now has spent almost 30 years in prison, Churchill gives a detailed description of the FBI raid on the Pine Ridge reservation on June 26, 1975 and of the case against Peltier.
For years the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs, BIA, had supported and financed a private army (the goons) of Tribal Chief Dick Wilson. Wilson [ . . . ]

Ward Churchill: A Little Matter Of Genocide

By Sovereignty

Why did so many voters in the 2004 election agree with the Bush War on Iraq? And all the other wars against indigenous peoples before? This will continue, says Churchill, until we acknowledge our history of genocide here, in the USA.
Ward Churchill is Associate Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a member of AIM. This is a very serious account – supported by a stunning array of new evidence – of the scope of the genocide of Native American Nations. 60 minutes, 1996

Uranium on Indian Land

By Environment

code: N302 To order a copy click here: $8.00
Manuel Pino lives within the 30-mile radius of the Grants Mineral Belt, which was the most intensely mined area of North America for uranium ore from the 1950s to 1980s. Eighty percent of the Native American workforce worked the mines or mills, including Manuel’s father, uncle, and cousins.

DAWN Mill and Midnight Mine

By Environment

code: N303 To order a copy click here: $8.00
Behind the poetic names of the DAWN Mill and the Midnight Mine lurks one of today’s most extraordinary environmental disasters. Situated in the center of the Spokane Indian reservation, the now-defunct Midnight Mine provided uranium for nuclear weapons. The resulting pit has filled with acidic water that is eroding the pit walls and releasing uranium from the rock. The DAWN mill on the border of the Spokane, Wash., reservation once processed the uranium for the Midnight Mine. Left behind are the enormous tailings impoundments into which radioactive residual rocks from the mining process were dumped. The groundwater below is radioactive and a plume is moving toward the Spokane river. Everyone [ . . . ]

Gold and the Myth of the ’49ers

By Environment

code: N305 To order a copy click here: $8.00
The gold rush was devastating to the California Indians. In just 20 years, their numbers were reduced from 150,000 to 31,000 by disease and outright murder at the hands of the miners. The gold rush was also the first large-scale assault on California’s mountains, forests, and rivers. 60 minutes

Big Mountain Trilogy (2 tapes)

By Sovereignty

code: N 306/307 $16.00
Forced relocation of Native Americans is one of the darkest chapters of US history, yet few people are aware that the relocation policy continues to the present day. The Dineh from Big Mountain in Arizona are being moved for the expansion of the Peabody coal mine in today’s equivalent of the genocide of the past. Big Mountain Trilogy is a 2-hour documentary recorded at Un-Thanksgiving 1997 and during the historic visit of the United Nations investigator on religious intolerance in February 1998. From the crossing of the Painted Desert to the arrival at Camp Anna Mae, you hear the voices of the Dineh elders, their supporters, and sheep herders. An image slowly emerges of an [ . . . ]

The Western Shoshone – The Dann Sisters of Crescent Valley and the Timibisha Shoshone of Death Valley

By Environment, Sovereignty

code: N 312
The Western Shoshone never ceded their land that extends from the Snake River in Idaho through Eastern Nevada into Death Valley, California. Currently  (June 2000) a bill is being prepared in Congress to force the Shoshone to accept 15 cents per acre for the land they were never willing to sell. Ranchers in Crescent Valley in Northern Nevada, Mary and Carrie Dann have resisted the confiscation of their cattle  by the Bureau of Land Management. The Shoshone Nation is fighting the transformation of the Nevada test site and Yucca Mountain into nuclear waste deposits, and they are trying to protect the remainder of their land from open pit gold mining that poisons the water and land.

Native American Oral History: Coyote is the Government

By Environment

code: N 313  $8.00
Mr. Willard Rhodes received this story from his grandfather and grandmother who saw the future before it had arrived. I met Mr. Rhodes, a retired heavy equipment operator, at the summer camp of the Indigenous Environmental Network on the land of the hereditary chief of the Ahjumawi. This amazing story predicts that the third destruction of this world, after ice and floods, will be caused or prevented by us, not the Creator. We could be the ones to set the fire, either by heating up the planet or by releasing nuclear explosions.
The Pit River Indians oppose a geothermal development at Medicine Lake, their sacred lake. They are also deeply saddened about the expanding tourism on [ . . . ]

Mining in America: Interview with Larry Tuttle

By Environment

code: N 309  $8.00
Mines produce more toxic waste than any other industry but have no obligation for clean-up. Their privileges are based on an arcane law, the 1872 mining act. It says that any person, including corporations, can stake a mining claim on public land, pay $5 per acre and pay zero in royalties. Larry Tuttle heads the Center for Environmental Equity in Portland. He wrote a Mining Activist Guide available at http://www.teleport.com/~cee/ A great web site on mining is:  http://www.mineralpolicy.org

Richard Heinberg – Peak Everything

By Environment and Climate Change

Richard Heinberg has influenced the work of those who are searching for a way out of today’s interlocking crisis of climate, finance and resource depletion. I visited him in Sept. 2010 at a crucial moment. He had just written the new preface for his 2007 book Peak Everything, Waking Up to the Century of Declines. Analyzing the events of the past three years Heinberg writes in his update that the question of when we will reach the peak of the resources that we made ourselves dependent on has finally been answered – and the time is NOW. The economic crisis, he says, is not a dip from which we will recover. Humanity has achieved an unsustainable pinnacle of population size [ . . . ]

By Environment and Climate Change

For Love and Protection of the Deep Ocean – on the impact of the BP oil spill
Julia Whitty is a diver, former nature documentary filmmaker, author and investigative journalist. As environmental correspondent for Mother Jones she had just returned from the Gulf Coast. She wrote: “BP and its partners reckless quest has endangered and perhaps condemned not just the Gulf Coast, but the largest, richest, most pristine, most biologically important, and last completely unprotected ecosystem left on Earth: the deep ocean.”
Julia Whitty explains why the deep ocean is the foundation of life for the upper layer of the sunlit sea. Many whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sharks, manta rays, and smaller predatory fish are nocturnal hunters, dependent on the movements [ . . . ]
