be in a with native crew and a native director, then suddenly owl horizons expand dramatically.ains a hot issue in hollywood, native americans are still not seeing the kind of progress that other people of colour have fought for and achieved. —— while representation. recent films featuring native american characters, while largely endorsed by critics, failed to meaningfully revise the white saviour stereotype. nothing of any substance is going to change until you have native people writing the stories and directing them and telling them from that perspective. there are a handful of people who have gotten that opportunity, not too many. i go back to smoke signals, which also by the way is an example of people saying well, native projects cannot pay for themselves, that is actually not true. they can pay for themselves if they are promoted properly like anybody else‘s work is, which smoke signals was. why can‘t you have a normal conversation? you always trying to sound like some them medicine or some. i trying to sound like some them medicine orsome. i mean trying to sound like so

there are already two native americans in congress both republican men from oklahoma. but the democrats who have been inspired to run say they felt insulted and marginalized by the trump administration paul and supporters want her to help wrest power from the republican controlled congress and stand up to a president who's been accused of sexism and even assaults. saying ok thank you for and i think that the earth needs to start changing to the woman power instead of this. caress of power and. i don't know if there is a mother but she is kind of a mother figure and mother figures are a lot more tender and nurturing and understanding than. the man energy i don't think she is a mother one who once had to feed her daughter using food stamps now she wants to set an example for future generations of women so they don't have to do the same when i think about you know our young native women these two beautiful young girls here who maybe in their lifetime will actually see a native woman in the congress whereas you know someone like me there was no one that i could. go to to s

secretly native when i have a credit talk about how i consider spock from star trek a native person ok yeah and it's really interesting to me to have that aspect is because like who else could deal with being both vulcan and human being and having so i was like of course he will never found out what his mom was what background is so mike ok she screamed i decided it i say oh it's like i'm like you i've always associated spark just being because my my father's non-native and my mom's do so coming from two worlds you are. yeah. that's a great compliment. but yeah i feel same way of always felt like spock was a kindred spirit yeah that's one of the big things for me with spock is that he's both dealing with not being vulcan and not them not being human enough and i've always felt that one aspect of native the native experience not being native enough because you can't speak your own language but not being white enough because you're so different everybody else so it's like i don't know anderson why there aren't more nicci people like native people in to start like i felt like the only one

campaigning to become the first native american woman in the u.s. congress she's an outspoken critic of president trump and she's hoping to win a seat in the house of representatives sell i think if we win back the house we have an opportunity to hold the republicans feet to the fire. the community activist could bring a new voice from new mexico to the capitol as never before seen numbers of women and native americans running for office so what's behind her potentially historic campaign and. who. knows. sexism can be extremely subtle in some ways and i'm sure that a lot of women face this you know when you ask a woman to run you have to ask her seven times before she will say yes but you only have to ask a man want this year a record number of women no longer need to be asked it could be a small step toward equal representation in a country where only one in five lawmakers is a woman well there are definitely more women running now than ever there there are hundreds more women who are running in every office from the top of the ballots to the botto

so you have a native hero you want that native hero to put in my eyes everything that is great wonderful about our culture we need those the symbols and champions of who where we come from different you know what i was thinking about was i was looking you were looking at the amazing at least been doing and the sun has been doing is that from my study of those two cultures in different communities indigenous communities that culture the history the spiritual physicians has so much better stronger more amazing well magical than any superhero story that i've ever seen or read the culture what do you need made us and that's what i think you owe me anything that i've ever seen in d.c. all malvo all and any of those big mainstream ones you have to superheroes already in your culture who already doing magical things and they're not even magical things this is what they did and i think that's where we're heading i think we're certain to see that right now i think that if you look back at a lot of the a lot of the heroes that we we see that the comic pages today derive from each stories greek myt

boy: the california poppy is a flower native to california.umble: it was a beautiful thing to have a burrowing owl be discovered by a fourth-grade student two winters ago. and even more incredible was that this little owl stayed with us, and so, i sometimes think of this as a zoo without cages. i think of my students who live in those buildinings right acros the street. they wake up in a concrete building. they go down concrete stairs. there's a little patch of concrete maybe to bounce a ball. they walk across a concrete sidewalk, an asphalt street, another concrete sidewalk, and they come onto a campus which is largely asphalt. then they go home and they do it again. they need this connection to nature like every human being. now they have e access to nature right here on their campus. heise:e: i like toto call it multltispecies j justice, soso's thinking about what is it right to do by people. how do we make this a more just, a more fair space for the different groups of people who inhabit the city, but t how do e also make it a habitable pl

without native american help. and this is something that i think, it is in the archaeology but has not gotten out there in the public. it is not a matter of europeans with high technology showing up in a wilderness. right? and you know, hacking out a way of life. that became america. like that is a myth that i think we can dispense with because science shows that that way of seeing history is simply not true. and it is not very rich or interesting. you know, we can now bring in the rule of native americans in a way that we could not before. and that is where science i think it can really help. >> there are many different people have contributed to building the country that we have. and i think that is an important thing for us to think about. now, i would like to ask you one last question before we go to audience questions. you open the book with talking about the process of history. and that while we like to think about -- and this is how we like to think about american history, it was said, woodward has also sai

now dealsl government with native americans summative native americans are under the jurisdiction of the federal government and the federal government will be the ones to protect them. this should give people pause to say wait a minute, the federal government? why are we going to imagine that is going to be very protective? here the language seems good, but on the other hand, that means following through here. if the federal government protects them, then the lance will be acknowledged. otherould also go the direction because the federal government is laying claims to these lands. native americans were left out of the treaty of paris, which ceded the lands in the northwest territory to the united states after the american revolution. so we have this whole treaty and guess what? the people who on the lands and lay claim to the land, the native americans, they were not there. so in a very classic european imperial way, they ceded claim of the lands to the united states. it's claims to those lands where native americans lived in sovereignty. they handed them over to the united states. t

richmond was a -- far more of a native born population, mostly of white and black. while african-americans had made important gains in the immediate aftermath of emancipation, white virginias were already mobilizing to restore their authority. in some ways the greatest changes had come in points farther west, in the northern plains and southwest. a major theme i've emphasized is we have this story of u.s. history where the u.s. acquires the louisiana purchase in 1803, acquires the mexican in 1848 and you would think the u.s. governed there immediately, but of course it didn't. native peoples continued to be the governing authority in the american northwest throughout much of the 19th century. that changed and changed quickly. in the 1860s and '70s. that was the story i opened with in class today. this will have profound changes for the region. this is partly, then, the story of how native americans find themselves stripped of their sovereignty and opportunity, but it's also the story of how white settlers find their opportunity. that's this fundamental tension we've

but by becoming citizens, they enjoyed equal legal status with native-born citizens. the united states in general, st. louis in particular, became a land of opportunity for them, and this is what many immigrants will find. one of the reasons is that the germans, in general, faced less antagonism than the irish. let me emphasize, i think the experience for any immigrant is difficult. you arrive in a new country, people may not trust you, you may not speak the same language as everyone. it's always difficult. and then there are matters of degree. why had so many of the irish immigrated to the united states in the 1840s and '50s. does anyone know? >> the pate os potato famine. >> you need to understand that within a larger history of 19th century ireland. it's pretty miserable. there were a lot of pushes but there's a major pull in the united states. there appears to be economic opportunity and the promise of equality for citizens. citizenship is a legal status, but it is also a cultural practice. what happens to the irish when they arrive? well, they face a lot of ethni

facebook has uncovered what it says is a quote native campaign to influence u.s. mid-term elections in november the company says it has removed more than thirty pages it says aimed to mislead users facebook stopped short of identifying the source of the misinformation in february the u.s. justice department indicted thirteen russian nationals for interfering in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election. we don't want people or organizations treating networks of a kind to mislead others about who they are or what they are doing that was just part of facebook statement as the company confirmed it had removed thirty two pages and a kind involved in coordinated behavior. this media giant said some of their activity was consistent with that of the russia based internet research agency a so-called true farm which managed many false accounts and reach more than one hundred twenty six million americans during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election campaign the vice president is adamant that should not be repeated. any attempt to interfere in our elections is an af

who's not native would leave and then petition to become an immigrant and native people could choose n obviously that's not going to happen. so what we did at cal exit was say, what's the best thing that we could do that is not going to fix genocide, isn't going to fix everything, not make it all perfect, but what's the biggest leap that we could make in the right direction? and we felt that giving over half of california and basically the american controled part to native people who actually owned the land would at least be a step in the right direction ando i want to point out -- >> tucker: you are basing this -- can i ask you? i know. it's california. you know what i mean? you will figure it out, it'syo a work in progress. but is there a specific indian reservation that you think is a kind of model for good governance that you are basing this on? can you point to a reservation currently in the united states and say we want california to be more like that? >> no. first, we don't call them indians, we call them natives or indigenous. second, we don't call it a reservation.he >> tuck

the decimation and genocide of native communities. and it was furthered on additional hate crimes including slavery. jim crow, mass incarceration and the like. yet, it is nevertheless, in fact that notwithstanding, that dark history, hate and all of its forms, has spiked in this moment. bullying, sexual assault, cyber trolling, vandalism, arson of houses of worship, hate violence, sometimes leading to murder. i am a community activist. that is what i do. i work closely with muslim, arabs, south asian across the united states. what i was hearing during the 2016 presidential election, was that hate was spiking in every facet of american life. and so i decided to travel the country and meet with survivors in their homes, houses of worship, community centers and document these stories. in american hate, you will find native voices, black, jewish, queer, trance, persons with disabilities, muslims, jews, south asian, undocumented, because these are all of the communities that are experiencing hate and grief in this moment. the last point th

this is a pit house, the home to that group of native americans. there would have been several of these pit houses in the village where people lived. they would have spent a lot of time in the pit house. they would have been there in the evening, nighttime, slept maybe, inclement weather, cooking. most of the time, people would have been outside, working in their fields, growing their corn, thequash and earliest crops we had here in the valley. this is our cause a colonial -- our casa colonial. this is how the spanish people lived here in 1815. the spanish camp about -- spanish came about the 1500s. one came to mexico -- to new mexico. they were looking for riches, wandered into kansas, and came this way. they left behind remedy of the things they brought -- behind remenatsd's -- behind -- remnants. was a commercial crop. they were making wine. they were selling those grapes to make wine. that was popular. we do not grow -- we are backed in the -- back in the wine industry again. when you hear about california being -- all the wine from california

many natives many non-natives there was different church groups civic groups people just bringing their families out to participate and support the native americans. by the time the commission's work ended almost seven years later that we had established the credibility of the commission not only in the eyes of survivors but in the eyes of the country and the truth and reconciliation commission has brought an image of canada forward that now includes this history. the national center for truth and reconciliation was created by the truth and reconciliation commission in order to preserve all of the materials that were collected under the mandate to the t r c but more than just preserving these materials and survivors right across the country have asked us to ensure that their statements and the other material that was collected finds their way into the hands of educators into the hands of researchers so we have a very important and critical role in continuing to expose the truth and should canadians understand the truth of what's happened in this country and for the contribute ongoing un
