i grew up in indian country. my father was a school psychologist so i knew a lot of shasta people and then we moved here to los angeles and suddenly it was wearing an indian on my letterman's jacket that i was wondering where are all of the indian people? what was apparent to me where we are right now the most popular indian city in the western united states so i began to wonder where everybody went in i began to study the history and the further i went into it the more terrified i became at what i was seeing. it was the state of qalat or and yet, our very first democratically-elected governor in california under the u.s. rule declared and i quote a war of extermination will be wait until the indian race becomes extinct and at first i thought it was some kind of madman and then i see right away the state legislature put the power of the purse behind his words racing money originally to the town of half a million dollars and later they raised over $1.9 million to send out 24 state militia campaigns against the cal

americans or american indians but i grew up in what's called indian country, and most indian people that i know on reservations and ranches and urban areas refer to themselves as simply indians. we know this is based on columbus' great mistake him thought the reached the east endys when in fact he only reached the caribbean basin but this term now has the kind of political and cultural resonance that is very important, so the single biggest periodical that circulates around indian country is called "indian country today," the national journal or the national periodal periodical of the american indian people in the country. it's important to acknowledge it's a mistake. when we think of indian country -- i'm glad you raise this. it's important to remember we're in indian country right now, but anywhere you go in california, you'll be in one's ancient ancestral homeland, landses that indian people inhabited for thousands of years as many believe since time immemorial and that's true everywhere you go the united states or the hemispheres, fro straits of magellan to the shores of the arctic o

as well as in urban areas refer to themselves simply as indian. we know that this is based on columbus's great mistake. he thought he reached the east indies when he only reached the caribbean basin. but the term has a resonance that is very important so the single biggest periodical that circulates around the country is called indian country today and that is if you will the national journal or the national periodical of the american people throughout this country. but it is important to acknowledge that it is a mistake. but when we think of indian country, and i'm glad you've raised this is important to remember we are in and begin country right now. but anywhere you go in california, you will be in someone's ancient and central homeland people inhabited for thousands of years where many believe since that time and memorial and that is true wherever you go in this hemisphere from the straits of magellan to the shores of the arctic oceans. and one of the things that happened because of the great loss of life with the indian people and the public

they would pay indian tribes to go out and attack other indian groups. bring them back to charleston and ship them out. in a work in working the mines in south america. the union slave trade touched everybody living here and it started around 1670 by 1700 it was here. and all the way to the mississippi river. as were the chickasaw very active now they had slaves already when the europeans got here but these people were not taken permanently from their homes and shipped somewhere else. many of these people just lived within 50 miles or so from where they were born. if you were captured by the slave catchers. not only from the area where you lived but the southeast. it was a terrible situation. all instigated by the european activities. what was the hardest aspect of writing this book. it was to get at the american indian the story through the filter. as they said. you have to watch out for the bias. it was certainly the people writing these histories. if the understand that. .. and she and jim and the work they did shaped what i talked about earlier. let'

this is the indians coming to indian territory. wilson calls it the indian immigration, which to me it sounded like they wanted to come here. i never have understood that. kind of in the upper right-hand corner, you'll see a depiction of the trail of tears. the reason there's a steamboat in the middle of that painting in the background, some of them were wealthy enough to come up the arkansas river by boat. the artwork, i think, is what draws people -- what draws me to the building. what sets the building apart. and just the stories that go with the artwork. you know, across the way, we've got will rogers. will was an actor, a cowboy, good ambassador to the world. people need to know that will rogers was from oklahoma. around to the left there, we have sequoia, a cherokee who developed the cherokee alphabet. and just a wonderful story, because he was not literate in another language and came up with what ling quists say was the best way to write

they did not corral the indians. carr was ordered to fort mcpherson on platte river just above the nebraska border from the texas panhandle. on his way up, he stopped at fort lyon at the end of the map on the arkansas river. as he began to go up to fort mcpherson, by coincidence, he had two skirmishes, fights. may 13 and 16th, at elephant rock and spring creek. 25 warriors were killed and four soldiers were killed at the first fight. and at least that many indians were wounded and unknown dead in the second fight. it was the second fight at spring creek where cody really made an impression upon carr. carr wrote this. "our scout william cody, who has been with the detachment since displayed great skill in following that, and also deserves great credit for his fighting in both engagements. being verynship conspicuous. he deserves honorable mention for this and other services, and i hope to retain him as long as i am engaged in this duty." by the way, this is a famous picture of the two men standing , officers at summit

, who are worse than the indians. they shoot isaac cody, calling him a black worshiper and abolitionist. the codyatened to rape womenfolk. if you go back to free state propaganda, 1850's, rape threats, savage violence, meaning missouri violence, is all there. rescue hiscody will womenfolk before they have to resort to "self distraction." there is even burning. this is quattro's raid on 1853, turnings in up in this cody action. thethe missourians, in novel, at least, are in league with the cheyenne, the missourians and the cheyenne, and later we get the missourians and the sioux. the missourians did not have a thing to do with the cheyenne. bring theen they western stuff and the north, south, together. hashe end of the novel, he forgotten completely about the missourians and he just has buffalo bill cody fighting the indians. novel, -- bigtime dime novel is "buffalo bill's where buffalo" jack wants to join the union army, even though he is a former confederate. he can't because it's not the northern uniform -- is not t

in the scene, she asked herd mom, whether you like indians. i just don't like them and don't pick your fingers. >> this is indian country, isn't it. >> what did we come to this country for if you don't liker them. one evening her father explained to her that the government will soon make the osage move away. that's why we are here laura, white people are going to settle all this country and we get the best land because we get here first and take our pick. in fact, many squatters began to seize the land by force. the u.s. government official said at the time, it will suggest which of the savages. in the 1870s, the osage agreed to sell the land in kansas and they searched once more for homeland. it was then that this osage chiefs stood up at a meeting. he said we should move this territory to the state of oklahoma because that land was rocky and infertile, you couldn't farm on it, and the white man would finally leave us alone. deemed worthless. so he said this would be a place in which the osage would finally be happy and at peace. so the osage

population despair lack of jobs lack of income lack of possibilities and so the indian the indian nation in across the country has been in this has been really a demographic target for the overweight industry and i think what's more important to me is why in the heck why why didn't that why hasn't the corporate media reported on this why hasn't the i.o.c. has why haven't they taken some leadership in getting ahead of this problem that seems to be so serious within the within the native american population what is your take. well let's address the corporate media first corporate media spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year advertising in our t.v. stations and mainline media so when the when it comes to asking corporate the regular mainstream media to report on these issues nobody wants to touch it because if they do they might be might be cutting off at the knees the sacrosanct funding from the pharmaceutical companies that pay for the advertising whether be t.v. or newspapers or online so as a result this is all been kind of hush hush that these companies have targeted the lowest

a conspiracy to kill rich indians. finally in 1923, after official death toll more than 24 osage, the osage tribal council issued a resolution. pleading and demand for federal authorities untainted by corruption to intervene. it was then that the case was taken up by a rather obscure branch of the justice department be one that would not seem obscure on this day in particular. it was then called the bureau of investigation and would later be named the fbi. it is somewhat fitting the state to talk about the bureau a little. because it is on a lot of people's minds. the bureau back then was really a ragtag operation. it had only a smattering of agents. they were not authorized to carry guns. if they wanted to arrest somebody that had to get a local lawman to make the arrest. they had very limited jurisdiction over crime but they had jurisdiction over american indian reservation. and so that is why the osage murders became one of the fbi's first major homicide cases. in 1925, the new boss man, j edgar hoover, summoned tom

he took the indians. there was a series of treaties between the indians that had already been made. the indians were sitting on land granted to them by treaties. he breaks the treaties, drives the indians west, produces the trail of tears, almost wipes out the cherokees as a people. of genocide, in intent to wipe out a people, the actual wiping out of a whole or people, this does not apply to george washington, thomas jefferson, or columbus, but it does apply to the jacksonian democrats. that is why hitler appeal to the jacksonian example. he said let the jacksonian democrats did i will do to the russians. slaves, the host: i wonder what you would make of trump's interest in andrew jackson, the president praising him. postedtion on twitter he a picture of jackson in the oval office and made a pilgrimage to his tomb after being sworn in. needs this is why trump to read my book. jackson is not someone to get excited about. trump visited the jackson plantation. i visited three libraries, most of them propaganda. in the clinton library you have all of this data, the number of computers

indian students cannot work here after they finish studying.to come in easily. workers are not allowed. 30,000 indians were told that their work permits would not be renewed. they were told in april. there are issues and indian officials feel that quite strongly. if we're going to do well after brexit, do we need to be more welcoming as a nation, is this a key stumbling block in terms of trade? i think that india is a key test case as to whether britain can negotiate trade deals with other countries. india is not a major trading partner of the uk. it has a huge trade deficit with india, so doing a free—trade agreement with india is more of an advantage to britain than it is to india. the biggest trading partners of india include the us, china, and germany is in the top ten. we saw angela merkel this week saying that she wants to restart the eu's talks with india on its own trade and investment agreement. and so, from the indian perspective, what is more important, a trade deal with the uk or the eu? i think that is self—explanatory. let us turn

get ready, your indian experience starts now. as soon as you step off the plane, india hits you like a big, hot wall of noise. it is everything you've ever imagined it to be. it is life turned up to 11. the first thing you'll notice will be the traffic. it's always the traffic. is the tip just to kind of step out? oh, this looks like a gap. the sound is deafening! everyone's honking. for 70 years this country has been independent of british rule and the cities that have sprung up around the old colonial grandeur seem chaotic, but they do kinda work. kinda. and india has found a niche in the wider world. half of its 1.2 billion people are aged 35 or under. maybe that's why it's known for its it know—how, its outsourcing. and the bosses of some of the biggest tech companies in the world are indian. but it hasn't had as much luck in taking over the world of consumer technology. after all, how many indian tech brands can you name? the truth is that although there is a middle class of consumers here willing to buy brands, it's not act

jackson took the indians, remember there is a series of treaties between the indians who have alreadybeen made those who had been granted, jackson breaks the treaties, drives the indians for the west, produces the trail of tears and almost wipes out the cherokees as a people. if you look at the definition of genocide, the actual wiping out of the whole part of those people, first instead apply to george washington, thomas jefferson, but it does apply to the jacksonian democrats. that's why here peeled to the example when he said, love this. what the jacksonian democrats did i'm going to do to the polls come the slobs, the eastern europeans. so they are conflating those two things. >> i wonder what you would make of trump's interest in jackson from politico. in addition to remarks on trader they betray him in the oval office and made a pilgrimage. needs to read my book. jackson is not someone to get excited about. trump visited the jackson plantation. i visited three libraries, most of them propaganda. in the clinton library you have all of this data, the number of computers when he ca
