my indian name means dancing feet.nd part of the reason it was really hard is because when i got the name within the dream of the horseback riding accident. and you wake up, and you find out you're paralyzed, and you've been given a name of dancing feet. and i thought that was some kind of cruel joke that the spirits were playing on me. but it was just something, you know, that i did promise that if i got my feet and my legs working again that i would earn my name because i thought maybe that's what it was there for, is to keep mush -- pushing me. >> well, as you think about the experience that the reeders are going -- readers are going to have reading your book, what is the -- if you could narrow it down to one thing, what is the most important thing you'd like readers to take away from your story? the. >> some laughter. because in spite of all the bad times, you know, we really need to sit back and be able to laugh and feel good. and, yes, there are some really bad, sad parts, and those were very hard to write. but,

we haven't had a miss oklahoma who was indian for a while. i stand up and i said, i said, charlie asked me to give you a typical indian greeting and i didn't know if he meant the kind of greeting that the indians gave the pilgrims at plymouth rock or the cheney gave to custer at little bighorn. [laughter] >> and i'll stop there because that was my big step. on being able to stand in front of a group dripping wet, no makeup and what makeup was there was sliding down my face and pulling it doting. and having the electricity go out this morning at 2:00 it's nothing compared to what i've been through in the past. [laughter] >> as miss oklahoma, suddenly you're thrust into the spotlight not only as a representative of the state but as we all know a lot of times with native people, once we're put in the spotlight we're suddenly asked to represent all native people. how did you balance that? i mean, how did you become an advocate for native people but without, you know, taking on that representative of the whole? >> well, i think mainly because i pr

you might have an indian brine. you might know an indian cop, indian judge, indian lawyer. this is who we are. and that's who we want to be, okay? receiving enough nods to satisfy him, he picked up a beat drum and stopped. and did the beat remind him of and a child raised his hand, a heartbeat. one place you hear drums is at a powwow. he asked those who is a powwow. he told everyone they had really good guesses and answered the question himself. it's a celebration where some of us indians, we sing and we dance. we also make new friends and renew old friendships. a powwow is made up of four circles. the very first circle you'll see at a powwow is a drum. it represents a heartbeat. the heartbeat of the powwow, the heartbeat of mother earth. also the heartbeat of other children which is all of us inside this room and outside of this room. without this heartbeat, there will be no powwow. >> so there, we are, right away. there's an individual who lives in this very city, who if you saw on the street, it may not occur to you that you're seeing a native american, but when you scra

a lot of times we think of indians we just think about indians in the u.s. but there are native indigenous people that are being eve this r-rated all over the world. india has been axles which are being hunted down, you have native indians in brazil. even in afghanistan they call the areas where they're doing all the bombing the tribal areas. i want you to speak to the fact that indigenous people around the world are being if under attack. er attack. and is there some way we can get this out into the press so they can understand that this should be stopped immediately? >> guest: well, what you're saying was true. >> guest: what you are saying is true. i was just in norway and the performance with a nsga woman in india under attack by the burmese. i think what it is, there's always the land hunger and indigenous people are vulnerable. there are resources that others want. for instance, in i think it is coaster rica, covered the land and animals and oil. so what we think about is the oil in the gulf. we don't realize that is happening in other regions as well.

movement for indian country at the beginning of the 50s was at the low point for the american indiansin american society and our land holdings were about 2% -- less than 2% of our original for land ownership in the united states and her people living and not just poverty at the bottom of a segregated society that was on stamping out our traditions and their tribal religions and their ways of life and terminating the political relationship between the indian nation and the government, just the whole dream of low point, if you will in the native life here in our nation. and then, since that point, excuse me, our nation has really what has historic, social movements i think that stirs the human heart and am not, we've seen the rise of our moderate indian nation, you know, through their tribal sovereignty movement being able to transcend the social and legal and political problems, you know, this sort of held our people down and trying to reclaim our pride and make all right -- political rights of indigenous people to the point where we can and see a great social movement that rivals the

i mean, a lot of times we think of indians we just think about the indians here in the u.s. but there's native indigenous people that are being eviscerated all over the world. i mean, india has the nextles which are being more or less hunted down. you've got the native indians in brazil. even in afghanistan, they call the areas where they're doing all the bombing the tribal areas. and i was wondering if you could just speak to the fact that indigenous people all over the world are under attack. and is there some way we can get this out into the press so they can understand that this should be stopped immediately? >> guest: well, what you're saying was true. i was just in norway and did a performance with a sammi person and a notga woman in india who were under attack by the burmese. and what i think it is there's always the land hunger, the taking over for land. and the indigenous people are vulnerable because they're in isolated areas or they're in places that they were sent that suddenly have resources available that others want, for instance, chevron, you know, has been -

indians, go to school, work.ou might have meant a teacher in your school, have ayou principle, not know what cub, c church, a lawyer.thatho this is it we are into we want to be. ret to satisfy himself, he picked up his hand drum and began beating it and stopped. what is the deep remind them of? and a chilonded immediately, heart beat. one place you hear drums is that at powwow. he as to knew what a poway's an. told everyone they had a really good guesses but answer thethe question himself. a celebration where some of us i ang and danced. we also make new friends andshi. renewals from ships.p made up of four circles, theee very first is the drum rep representing a heartbeat. the heart beat of mother earth,r also the heart beat of oureart children which is all of us in this room and outside this room. without this heartbeat there will be no power of. >> there we are right away, an individual that lives in this who as you saw in the street, it may not occur to you that you're seeing in the american, but when you scr

most non-indian americans think indian and think of a certain kind of people, you know? they don't really think about people who lost their homelands, who have been forced from them. they think of people who are still there. >> host: well, as a self-identified indian writer, way do you write about? what's the definition of that? >> guest: well, i'm not really self-identified, i'm tribally identified. you know, i'm -- it runs in the family, but i where about what our difficulties are. i write about political situations that are going awry like the james bay hydro-qeubec project where they decided to move a river, the st. lawrence river and drove many caribou and the people who were up there had to fight that dam project, and then i write about -- well, in my essays, you know, i take many different issues. now i'm writing about things that are very small including atoms that we think are there, but haven't seen and what they can do to people, but i usually select a political topic with the novel power. i wrote about the florida panther, a very endangered species and lives

>> host: who were the indian agents? >> guest: there were many of them. they turned over, i don't know the names of the people, but they were the people who were in charge of handing out money, the checks and setting up tables. >> host: were they indians? >> guest: they weren't. they were assigned by the government. >> host: our common was that? how frequent was that? >> guest: that was everywhere. >> host: surely in iowa, you are on the line with linda hogan. >> caller: i have never read any of your work but i am sure going to. i am part irish and one fourth cherokee. i can't hear you. >> host: we are listening to you. >> caller: the stories of my grandfather passing on his life, we passed for irish because our family was scared to death to it meant we were native american. i didn't really admit it until i was in charge of lutheran world relief in my church years ago. and found out that there were people in my church that were not agreeable to giving any of the world relief items to native americans. but are also wonder

indian is a term my grandmother used. she self identified as an indian. the reason i prefer indian -- where were you born question asked in a was born in darby, pennsylvania. >> i tell people if he were born in north, south, or central america, you are a native american. the goal is this that i have. we all own history. if we don't own -- indian history is in your history. if you claim to be a native, which you are by birthright, then the history of the indian world is also your history. >> thank you for that. let's sneak away. we are going to take a break, and will be back with andy galvin. a mission project is something he cannot suspect. when it's time for lunch, a sandwich is a quick and easy choice. and with the right ingredients, it can be good and good for you. so i'm here today to see who can build the ultimate sandwich. all right, when the time is up, our judges will give you their scores. ready. set. go! okay, jason starts out with the multigrain roll. ooh. alyson's stuffing her pita with, yes, spinach! a great source of iron. jason isn't skimpi

you might have met an indian teacher in your school, indian cop, judge, lawyer. this is who we are, and that's who we want to be, okay? receiving enough nods to satisfy himself, ansil pecked up his -- picked up the hand drum and stopped. what does the beat remind you of? one child said heart beat. he asked who knows what a pow wow is. everyone had good guesses, and then answered the question himself. it's a celebration where some of us sing and we dance. we also make new friends and renew old friendships. it is made up of four circles. the first circle is the drum representing the heart beat. the heart beat of the pow wow and mother earth and the heart beat of her children, all of us in in room and outside the room. without this heart beat, there will be no pow wow. >> there we are right away, an individual who lives in this very city who if you saw on the street, it may not occur to you you're seeing innative american -- native american, but when you scratch the surface, talk to the individual, you learn about his culturement we're not in the world of either/or.

but for the passionatefew, they are the best thing to reach indian shores... >>reporter: there are few sports that stir an englishman's soul like cricket and the sound of leather on willow is a classic part of the english summer. the country's test team is currently one of the best in the world and has little trouble attracting large crowds to their home games. but for england's professional county teams... it's a different story. >>reporter: cricket fans love statistics... so here's one they might find interesting. last year 15 of england and wales 18 counties recorded financial losses totalling around $14m... in a business where income streams are notoriously fickle... >>you do a budget at the start of the year and you keep your fingers crossed you're working on incomes through the gate, depending on the weather, depending on the handouts from the ecb... those kindsof things. of our control. >>reporter: that's something surrey found last year when it hosted what ought to have been a lucrative test match... >>we hosted the pakistan tour which had alleged matc

so what do we know about this group the indian mujahideen. a lot. of this group. this group basically does financial support or because it was but. as we know to the newsgroup. but the mayor. the nation which was behind you can do six eleven kind of attack so you have been. is a whim gotten what do it but even controlled by. a bunch in pakistan. you mention pakistan. what they'd be any links to told with that group who were held responsible for the hotel bombings back in two thousand and eight when something like on from eighty people were killed there would there be links perhaps between those two organizations yes absolutely they had dearly could you have been back. if you remember any pakistani would be in who had infiltrated mumbai they claim concerns to be deprived of bacon would have been trying to. portray themselves as indians that do a part of the deccan mujahedeen it's a document you can actually comes from an indian would be less spin it does not has been the chilling this gentleman doing in which i had been able to lie seven eight years there have been

indians still exist, mixed indians with nowhere to go. >> guest: well, if i recall, that would be in jamaica. i believe that probably the majority of arawak are mixed with black jamaicans. and probably do not have a land base. and i don't know, i have no answer for what they would do to preserve to create one -- to create their own nation. >> host: well, let's take that question a little bit more broadly. how do you preserve heritage? how do you chickasaw preserve heritage? >> guest: you know, interestingly enough, i think that probably our dancers and singers are the ones who most significantly preserve the heritage. and feel the strongest -- the traditions. that are there. because it was against the law until 1978, actually, all religions were against american law until the american indian religious freedom act was passed. in a country that guarantees religious freedom, we were the only ones who had none. and so -- but in talking to people and interviewing people, it seems to me that those who are serious about dancing, the traditional dances, and deeping up the traditional activit

this is the handiwork of the elite he backed by the indian mujahideen activists because under pressure from the us pakistan is not in a position to get directly in birds in the terrorist act in india but that they need the support of indian mujahideen and since indian with still has the capacity to provide the largest export they don't have the support they don't have the capacity to carry out better acts at their own because their top leaders are at large there not enough to go at their own riyadh but another what is in karachi in the safe house of pakistani establishment it is difficult for them to carry order their own so it is the entity back operation will cooperate and will are called straighted by the ira the reason being it's the use of ammonium nitrate because that is the one of the. tactics used by the i am a year on also another is the date choosing that is thirteenth of the month i and i started most of the attacks on thirteenth or on the twenty six there is only one doubt that it is not and you have the i am is because they're not send an e-mail which they have been using

in the singular, american indian culture. i wanted to play it for you to give you an example of what might be considered traditional style because after this i'd lake to bring up two guests and play two arrangements that were created especially for this festival that bring in both the irish american and the urban indian. so this is a cedar flute song for you. (playing flute) so now that you have a little bit of powwow and a little bit of cedar flute in your ears, i would like to invite two guests up to perform for you, two arrangements which i made especially for today. first, rita lindall, rita and i are both in the same cohort as the music program at uc berkley and we've been saying for 4 years, we need to play music. so we finally made it happen. so, rita lindall, and then masuro koga. mas and i have been playing together for a very long time, so much so that we wore the same shirt without having to talk to each other about it. mas is in high demand both as a teacher and as a session side man, having played with everybody

and other indians as well and that is still the case. most americans get through years at a time without thinking of the killing of crazy horse but that is not true. they resent it and they are still -- there are still factions in the tribe that are glad of it. they did what they could to ensure that crazy horse would not survive that day so there's a lot of natural drama. i wanted to tell that and a narrative and withhold describing, explaining and judge in the abstract tools that a historian brings at hand and in order to do that i had to make a decision that went deeply against my own nature. i love to explain complicated fans. i find it irresistible to say what things mean or where the real explanation lies or why it happens this way rather than another way of. i had to decide to not do that and let it tell -- put the elements on the page that would allow the story to emerge. i don't know how successful that worked but that was what i tried to do. for those of you who are interested in writing history or narrative in general about th

it's a story from the [inaudible] and so the indian epiics actually the indian epiics for very common in cambodia and bali and thailand and there is a different aesthetic. all southeast asia and asia there are a lot of similarities. >> he is a male entity. he is not -- are you referring to the story? >> it's interesting you should say that. a unique indian concept is one of half male, half female. and that is -- unlike some dances the solo dancer portrays all of the parts in the story. you can portray a feminine aspect and then masculine aspect with the bow and arrow. the male has to portray feminine and the female has to portray masculine. there is a very fierce dance and a soft sort of dance and every dancer has to learn all those aspects. it's very, you know, my teacher i call him a guru in this art form you have to study very, very hard. you have to learn about all the cultural aspects. he says it's liberating because he enjoys and has to learn to bring up the feminine aspect. he's a strong character it's a challenge for him and he likes it. the stories are metaphor cal. i don't l

well the news now this hour three explosions of struck the indian city of mumbai on reports at least twenty people have been killed and dozens injured your correspondent is in india for. three bomb explosions occurred within minutes of each other and this happened in a very crowded neighborhood one of the famous jewelry market there was a bomb that was said to be found in a jewelry shop also near the opera house in mumbai. in the western state of maharashtra obviously a very important city in india it's considered the financial capital here the ministry of home affairs that this is a terror attack the most recent terrorist attack. in and eight with the theory is that shootings that happened in the taj hotel as it was that to have been a fly make terrorist actually the pockets down from the great service otherwise known as the i had were held responsible for those attacks back in two thousand and eight two years prior to that in two thousand and six another theory is that coronated attacks that happened on seven different trains in india that with that two have been the students islam

it makes investments in indian country. this bill continues to make investments in human health and wellness programs in indian country affecting health care, education and self-determination. overall the department of interior's funded at $9.9 billion which is $715 million or 7% reduction below last year's enacted level. as i mentioned, we've done some things that secretary salazar will support. the secretary and i had many discussions about these issues as well as some areas where funding isn't like what he wants to see. one of those areas relates to the endangered species act. since the e.s.a. was enacted there have been 2,018 species listed and only 21 recovered. that's a pretty poor track record. any other program such a poor rate of success would have long since been terminated. there is not one member of this committee that is opposed of to having the endangered species act. it has become a policy failure. the authorization for the e.s.a. appropriation expired 20 years ago and the assumption has been that the appropr

but indian officials admit that there has been some delay. during the visit of the indian foreign minister to bangladesh, the two sides are expected to narrow down some of the differences. india is also chinese interest. bangladesh has also asked for chinese help to build a deep sea port. >> more developments in the debate about nuclear power in japan. >> that's right. the japanese agency gigi is reporting that the trade minister has said that the government will be conducting stress tests on all nuclear power reactors if japan, ensuring there would not be a problem with power supplies. for more on this, weir speaking now to our correspondent, who is in tokyo. this is still just a report, but what have you heard on the ground? when are they likely to begin these stress tests on the nuclear power facilities? >> well, all the media reports are reporting about his press conference earlier this morning, saying that the government will test all the nuclear power plants there to make sure that they're all safe. basically the government is trying to

it something indians and i will too well and they are reaping the benefits by working harder and longer than their western counterparts. joins the. it's a busy city with busy people india is a rising economic locomotive so what's the driving force behind its success it could very well be that people like. bulls are co-directors of a small one import company called divine and as indians have developed a strong liking for french and spanish mintages young men are working overtime to fill their glasses you have to be very flexible with your working hours. in today's world to go to globalization and because of oh you know you're interacting with so many people from abroad especially america or you know europe so. we can't be fixed by means where we can say we're only going to work from nine to five but people in britain for example can and do say that seven spent years working as a business consultant in the u.k. and he says brits watch that clock closely in britain people leave a five o'clock and they won't stay this is because i've got a train to catch i mean i work for many years in brit

metaphor there the sioux indian and other tribes are still waiting for the u.s. to make good on various treaties that were signed three hundred years ago two hundred years ago one hundred years ago that's not worth anything the paper that these traders are written on if you think you're going to get anything in exchange for your assets from the banks that are rolling across the fed of plantations of greece you've got another thought coming from the fed and she's plantations i've never seen what it is a growth on a plantation right it's not how you raise fed a one of the things that was pointed out by one of these private equity bankers is he said there was a lack of transparency again this is caused by goldman sachs has hidden all of the everything assets debts everything off balance sheet nobody knows there is no price discovery possible anymore thanks to goldman sachs and j.p. morgan well there will be once they securitize everything right now the acropolis has a value on a greek books of zero now when goldman sachs comes in and they take control of the acropol

so what do we know about this group the indian which you had being. willing to do what you. would do a lot of. these groups. this group basically does logically financially support well because the border. as we know killing these groups. but the move. nation which was good thank you six eleven kind of ok so you. don't want to do it but you can control. came back as. well that you mention pakistan. would be any links at all with that group who were held responsible for the hotel bombings back in two thousand and eight when something like andre three people were killed there would have been links perhaps between those two organizations yes absolutely they had clearly if you had in fact. if you remember the pakistani mujahideen who had infiltrated mumbai they claimed concerns to be. had been trying to. create incentives as the indians had been a part of the deccan mujahedeen or begin to have been actually comes from india would be less fit god has been no chewing this time or doing getting a deal the last seven eight years they have been providing logistical and financial supp

i'm not arguing that indians would become subjugated by the sas. i'm talking of when and where it happens, the speed, and how it happens. >> one of the audience asked the question, your description of roads feeling as owners profit its outsell its recent bank failures. do you agree? let me just expand a little bit by sharing with the audience here up passage from your book where you offer a kind of summary judgment of what the story is you have been telling. he is your characterization of the rows of the end of the day. overbuilt, prone to bankruptcy and receivership, politically correct, environmentally harmful, and financially wasteful. these corporations nonetheless help create a world where private success often came from lock, fortune, timing, and state intervention. profit arose more from financial markets and insider contracts and from successfully selling transportation. now, before you answer want to remind you of the subtitle of your book which underlies the question that i read from the audience. you're talking about the transcontinental

back by the indian activists because under pressure from the us system is not enough to get directly in does. india for that they need the support of india. and since india still has the capacity to provide the logistics support they don't have this a boat they don't have the capacity to get the old backpacks of their own because their leaders at large there are not enough what you should do operate at their own riyadh but another what is in karachi. so you've also pakistani establishment it is difficult for. them to carry out that their own so it is the elite the back operation will cooperate and bill archivists rated by the ira the reason being it's the use of ammonium nitrate because that is the one of the. tactics used by the i am a lid on also another is the date choosing that is thirteenth of the month i am i started most of the attacks on thirteenth or on the twenty six there is only one doubt that it is not the new world of i am is because they have not sent an e-mail which they have been using in the past but still. most probably this is the this is the act of data done by n

army came across the western plains of america and they gave the american indians exactly nothing for the land and the concept of actually owning the land was completely alien to the indians the idea of owning the grand canyon for example was a concept that was completely alien to their culture similarly in greece the idea of securitizing in trading the acropolis is an alien concept they don't understand it they're being slaughtered by this army of banks toure's who are going to securitize everything and all the commissions from trading all of this of course will be done off balance sheet in the in the shadow banking system in the dark pools greeks will get nothing they'll get absolutely nothing. but the other thing about this is remember you're dealing with con men bank stress here so are these private equity alleged private equity dealers who met with greek government officials are they just straw man and some sort of con are they acting as like market makers you know how you often see this and in america is that the market makers don't appear for especially in the commodities marke
