From "merciless Indian Savages" to forced citizenship. Scalp bounties, massacres, and theft of our lands and our children. This day marked not a declaration of independence but of a war against anything in their way!By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

On June 19th 1865, Native people were improsoned in open air prisons called "reservations."

Informing some of the last enslaved human beings in the US t…

Any "deal" that extinguishes Native title to our homelands is unacceptable and NO ONE has the authority to sellout the birthright of our children.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Native people were driven off our lands at gunpoint by armies. We were defrauded, lied to and cheated in every way possible. Today we are robbed by lawyers trying to "settle" land claims; which are really just lopsided land sales to extinguish our land titles.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

One of many narratives promoted to justify stripping and replacing our citizenship.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The US passed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924, declaring all Native people to be US citizens. So, are we? What does that mean? Dual citizenship? Voting rights. Taxable. Doe the US hold the underlying title to our lands?By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

56 years after the assassination of the country's most famous peace activist, the list of unarmed Black people killed by police continues to grow. And any suggestions of police reforms, if anything are being rolled back in the midst of America's culture wars. Bureaucrats create paper to address Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and NEVER addres…

The Indian Citizenship Act was not a grant for a pathway to citizenship. It was a declaration with no choice or option associated with it. It was NOT the creation of dual citizenship. It was the erasure of ours and the imposition of theirs.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

We lack any true sense of identity if we don't know or carry our past forward. But going forward with a distinct identity requires a knowledge of how to fight and defend that identity.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

I offer my thoughts on what many have called an Oscar snub to one of the most incredible stories ever told on film. The Reservation Economic Summit was this week in Vegas. The theme was "Strength In Unity." Sounds good! I share some thoughts.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The disproportionate suffering of women and children in Gaza or at the US Southern Border seeking refuge. Or the on-going epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous women. Can we celebrate women as we ignore these crises?By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The news media outlets refuse to say why Native mascots are banned and simply say schools are being forced to change them because of a State ban. All this does is feed the "culture war" frenzy.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Lance is the former Chairman of the Shinnecock Nation and current Regional VP of the National Congress of the American Indian. We talk "recognition", NCAI, Montaukett, mascots and pretendians.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

My old school that I took on over their mascot lost their appeal to the State Supreme Court. This fight led to the statewide ban. The Senecas and NYS agree to extend the current gaming compact as the Governor continues her squeeze on Seneca gaming revenue. And Governor Hochul vetoed a bill that would have restored State recognition to the Montauket…

If you were appalled by the racism displayed in Killers of the Flower Moon, you must understand that it still continues today. The federal government considered Native people as incompetent and too ignorant to manage our own funds and our own businesses. That designation continues today with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.…

I saw the film and I was disappointed. We need to question what info is fed to us. Buffy Sainte Marie on the hot seat. Last show of the Fall Fund Drive!By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The murder of the Osage is an unprecedented massive conspiracy of murder, marriage and theft. No where in the history of US criminal activity has this level of premeditation occurred. But the theft continues as other means have been employed by the powerful and greedy.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

It's impossible for me not to see the similarities in the Israeli treatment of Palestine and its people to what Native people have experienced with the United States and its predecessors.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Four NYS schools are suing to keep their Native race-based mascot against the State's statewide ban. Identity theft at its finest!By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

A friend of mine says "all skin folk are not kin folk." What she means is that even those who look like us, may not be "with" us. We can be distracted by the sellouts who grab headlines as they stand with our enemies. But our enemies remain the real problem. They love seeing us attack each other. We need to stay focused on the real powers who oppre…

It's not a competition. And I am not trying to rate the horrors of whose racism experience is or was worse. My point is that much of the racism we experience is acceptable to Americans. It's not acknowledged.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Yep! I broke the rules and I got charged, convicted and sentenced; TWICE! Catch the show and learn about my egregious behavior.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The "mainstream media", social media, print media, TV, Cable, smart speakers, smart phones, smart TVs. It's all media. But so was every film, TV show, comic book, novel, newspaper, history book and radio. All this information yet ignorance persists.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The Washington Commanders' team president Jason Wright said of bringing the racial slur back to the team, "It is NOT being considered. Period!" Alrighty then! Let's be done with this conversation. But we're not done with the conversation/negotiation over a gaming compact between the Seneca Nation and New York State; not by a long shot. And the curr…

Doctor Shya Bey joins me to discuss Native displacement and erasure.By John Kane & Regan de Loggans

A group of silly losers are trying to bring back the Washington NFL team's racist slur of a name and the media is eating it up. And why is Oprah taking heat over the Maui fires? The question is: who has displaced more Native Hawaiians? This fire or rich people from the continent buying up all the land?…

I can't ignore that "Pretendianism" isn't a problem. According to the 2020 US Census, those identifying as "Native Americans" increased by 87%. Not only is that impossible, I don't even know how many real Native people participate in the US Census. So to say there is a problem is an understatement. But getting pulled into the Pretendian Battlefield…
