[applause] >> professor gandhi will take some questions. for the sake of the tv, i request people of questions to please come here to the microphone. >> as you please comment on another commonality between lincoln and gandhi. it appears even after pakistan defeated, -- got permission from him that condi would go to india and take back muslims from pakistan back to india were left in india and that march would have been much greater than his delhi march. so i wondered if you could comment on that. >> yes, i think the question takes a very interesting point that before gandhi was assassinated, he had made this plan, which china had accepted, the ge

and rich indians. with hindus but also muslims. with the so-called untouchables, the children of god as he called them but also with a so-called card hindus with indians in bangle and karachi and every portion of the land. in the process he has indians of all kinds to find a relationship with one another. indians were strangers to one another or -- were now willing to join hands. it was gandhi's contribution to this consciousness of one this as indians. is feeling of belonging to a family that was recognized in 1944, he called gandhi the father of the indian nation. moral courage, i believe, was the secret of his impact on world. speaking to power to the empire he also spoke truth to his own side and i will give you this example from the year 1919. in the april of that year, april 13, 1919, 380 or more indians, hindus, muslims, killed in ten minutes in the worst single incident in the annals of british rule in india. there was an english general who ordered the soldiers to shoot without warning at this

he was chief of an indian band in canada for 16 years. manny, why are so many indians so poor?oses poverty. one of the things that has happened is we have been legislated out of the economy by the federal governments both in the united states and canada. >> john: what do you mean? they have been taking care of you. that sounds like the best deal. >> well, by taking care of us that means providing social welfare programs. the only way to break the cycle of poverty i believe it is by the recognition that every other canadian and american takes for granted and that is real property rights. >> john: so in canada as in much of the u.s. the reserves are owned by the government. >> yes. >> john: so the indian has some piece of paper that says this is my lot. >> but underlieing that title is the fact that in canada the federal government owns the land. >> john: so you you can't borrow against it. >> can't borrow. can't get a mortgage. can't be bonded. there is nothing that you can have that will be allow you to be able to go to the bank on your own without the minister cosigning that l

and they are important in every american community in indian american, in indian country is no exception. like many places in indian country has its haves and have-nots but a handful of tribes located in more private areas have been private areas have become wealthy with casinos. on deposits i did just federal incentives to do exactly congress intended. it has allowed them to make it gaps in services left by inadequate federal budget. on a negative side, too many people think gaming tribes are the norm in indian country and they are not. the rate of unemployment and poverty in the passenger indian country are dramatically higher than the rest of the nation. some communities many in montana, we see unemployment rates as high as 70%. and the lack of private investment is absolutely crippling to get those numbers down. unfortunately, the tough economic conditions in this country come indian country has been living through it. challenges live -- rural isolation, lack of institutions investment, poor health care, inadequate educational institutions. in some cases flat cheated out of the oppor

but what was my indian half since i didn't speak the language of the indian? >> right. >> what you have given me in "1491" is this idea that what the european discovered here was, in fact, that there was something here, that there were aqueducts, that there were dams, that there was a civilization here and that -- >> [inaudible] >> and it was not, as we've always portrayed it to be, a virgin land filled with people who were merely passed. >> but who act like people nowhere from the world. there's a wilderness, the implication is that these people lived here for thousands and thousands of years and didn't do anything. they were the most boring people on earth. >> that's right. [laughter] >> and it just doesn't fit. people are interesting. these are really dullards in this picture. and, of course, the instant you think about this, you say, well, that can't possibly be the case. the people just sat there like tourists going, oh, look at the trees. [laughter] look at the beach. and so they built stuff. >> where did that idea come? i mean, i can think of any number

indian tacos. be ready. i am looking for mark. is the mayor close by? once again, all of you native americans, go ahead and raise your hand. you have all been drafted.

[laughter] president obama said they are in the mail. all right. we're going to go right into this next introduction of our dancers. are our dancers ready? get ready for our dancers. just one minute. let's go over to our napsters. how about an intertribal? make them dance. you are listening to one of our intertribals. depending on which the tribe, which area of the indian country you are from, a lot of these songs, we were not able to sing these songs publicly. we were not able to dance. when that happens, when we cannot speak our language, sing our song or dance our style of dance, we lose a little bit of ourselves, our indian identity. a lot of these dances and songs were ceremonial, prior to powwows. they are religious in content. the wor

this is at the heart of my service to indian help center. i was trying to think of a single event or thing or contribution i had made in my years of service, and there really is not one. when i did it showed up at least once a month for a few hours for the past almost 14 years and share my opinions, many opinions, and what i had to offer. i think a lot of times people underestimate what showing up can really do. number nine, always wear comfortable shoes. this is important for at least two reasons. one, it is hard to do your best thinking when your feet hurt. number two, it makes it easier to get away from people who do not approve of your opinions or might be chasing you. number eight, being kind it takes no more time than it takes to be a jerk. i learned most of that whenever is practicing law. -- when i was practicing law. number seven, stand up for yourself, even if you are afraid. you have to be willing to stand up to the police that cross your path, or you will not be able to advocate effectively or anyone else. number six, other peopl

we need banks in indian country. we need community reinvestment funds, and we have to continue to educate both on building the capacity side for the investment and banking community and the tribal community, and you know, we're also on the building capacity side. one of our missions, which betake a lot of pride in is to build the next generation of financial and economic leaders, and we do have programs where we do send and give scholarships and send our kids to lead programs to build leadership skills and we also are working with wall street to give native kids that opportunity to go and learn how things work in different investment communities. it all helps to build that capacity. >> do you see -- do you see them competing with the credit union industry and other entities? >> on both the cheyenne river and pine river communities, there's a credit union, and we're looking forward for the opportunity to complement each other's work rmt one thing we don't do is take deposits, you know, the credit union model, and gett

and here in california all these indians have money. which is not taken as a success. >> that's right. >> i was curious what you thought about 1421, about the chinese, they were there seven years before columbus? >> the book, you mean? this is a book i should probably explain a little about. there is an amazing spanish, -- not spanish, chinese explore, a muslim eunuch who let these huge armadas, one of them may be the largest ever, 300 some ships, from southeast china and then across the indian ocean, and just sort of throw china's weight around and scares the pants of everybody visited with his enormous flotilla. and they know that they went all the way to the southern part of africa. and this book which is by this retired summering captain says that the fleet split up and went to the united states and to the caribbean and europe, and when basically around the world. and that's a big part of it they landed in america before columbus. and i should say that the great bulk of, actually have never encountered a historian who believes this.

i have watched him on the indian health center, and the thing that a special about him is he brings indianness to the center. he works hard to make -- to keep it from becoming just a health center. he is a healer. i have watched him work with young men, young women, and to me, a healer is somebody when you interact with somebody, at the end of that interaction, the person is stronger, growing more towards being who they are, what their potential is, and time after time, i see that with mike, see him having that effect upon people. that, to me, is one of the highest things that i could say about him. i just want to stop this because he says i talk too much, but i should be able to do that because i'm talking about him. i just want to tell you one story. i was talking to him one morning, and he said he was really tired. i asked him what was going on. he said he got called up -- i might be a little bit off on the numbers, but got called up at 6:00 in the evening, just when he was ending work, and somebody that we know asked him to come and sing for his grandmother, who was passing on to the spiri

he did not hate indians. he like indians. he adopted to indians. as his sons to raise as his sons. but he would not let indian nation stand in the way of white settlement and the westward expansion. now, that's the great paradox about andrew jackson. if he liked you, nobody could be kinder. if you stood in his way on something, you are in deep trouble. intime may be the most popular president we've ever had, and perhaps even the most popular military leader after washington. he had enormous prestige in his lifetime. that's how crockett got in trouble. he started opposing the jacksonians and it cost him his seat in congress and his life at the alamo basically. crockett was at the alamo as opposed to being further east, because houston was a protÉge of andrew jackson, and the political rivalry from the state of folic crockett and houston here to texas. but i feel divided with great admiration, and, obviously, some great reservation about figures like andrew jackson. >> certainly jackson was i believe our last president to personally shoot other people in duels. i mean, which i think

, from indian descent and they were charging that in the u.s., indians cannot be citizens or vote and, therefore, they wanted to apply this to the mexican population but, of course, the federal courts came in and said, no, you can't do that. mexican people may be indian but they're detribalized people and the laws preventing indians from being citizens or voting -- we're dealing with tribal law and mexicans are detribalized people. it was a period of hostility of mexican-americans at that time. >> how would you describe the atmosphere today when it comes to mexico-u.s. and immigration? >> i think we're experience ago hostile time for people of mexican descent. in the media the idea is generally that it's against or charged against the undocumented people who do not follow the rule of law. but i think this allows this atmosphere to apply to everyone in general. the -- what's taken place in arizona that really -- it affects also the legal mexican immigrant because they're not sure if they're undocumented or not. so there's a general offense of hostility, whether it's related to voting,
