Emerging Evolution Calvin the Drapetomanic & Rowdy the Inclusive Activist

In this podcast and the next we will look at the cultural concepts of Indigenization.




We will talk about Indigenization, What is it? (systems of nonviolence, no harm, non-marginalization, and non-exploitation). How each of us has been helped by Indigenization and Indigenous Thinking. This podcast attempts to help us unpack what I feel the antithesis of so many issues of racism, sexism, classism, patriarchy, white supremacy, oligarchy come from and why and how they eliminate these problems.

Welcome to the New Gregorian Year 2021 – or I as am calling it 2020 the bad extended mix. In this podcast and the next we will look at the cultural concepts of Colonization and Indigenization.




This podcast will reflect on the events of Dec 6th. From a Native Lens with our thoughts and feelings on the matter.




We will talk about Colonization, What is it? (systems of violence, harm, marginalization, and exploitation). How oppressed groups have been hurt by Colonization. How each of us has been poisoned by Colonization and Colonial Thinking. This podcast attempts to help us unpack what I feel the root of so many issues of racism, sexism, classism, patriarchy, white supremacy, oligarchy come from and why and how they repeat.




Warning the S word is used in this podcast which is a very derogatory term for native women. This words rough literal translation is the very harmful curse word (the C word). I chose not to bleep it out because I wanted you to hear the pain in Souta’s voice to better understand the pain associated with it for Native Women. We are not calling anyone this word but rather talk about its harmful effects much as will do at time with slurs like the N word, or in our community the R word to better understand the impact of these harmful patterns of pain.

Election Day 2020 is almost here. In this podcast I share a few thoughts on our local election. I talk about the need to get some food, and resources together in the next few days – just in case things get wonky. I talk about the need to get your ballot physically to the ballot box or vote in person (most vote my mail is not assured to get in by now!) And I talk about what is a coup, how do coups work, and how regular people have stopped coups in the past.




I like you am hoping to see a blue wave and a Biden Presidency, A democratic senate, and a held majority in the house – but we most likely won’t know when ALL ballots are counted for several days if not a week or two – SO BE READY. And if the majority of people go for Trump and republican control and the people vote for that legitimately – I won’t like it but I will accept it.




However if – ANYONE – Stops counting votes; Declares someone a winner who didn’t get the most votes; or Allows someone to stay in power who didn’t win the election. This would be a COUP. In this I talk about the steps regular people have taken over time and in history to stop attempted illegitimate power coups with nonviolent action and civil disobedience. Again hope this is totally not needed and was just a thought exercise.

10 things you need to know to stop a coup

Hey all today we are going to unpack the idea of Deep Canvassing. Inspired by this article https://callhub.io/deep-canvassing/




Deep canvassing stems from a simple idea; you can change minds through conversations. Canvassers use this method to engage voters in a conversation and get them to a mutual understanding by providing alternative perspectives.




It is a two-way conversation between canvassers and voters where voters are asked to share their personal experiences around the issue being discussed.




The strategy lays out:




Share your experience and get the conversation startedListen to voters, get them thinking and sharingHighlight common humanity



We will talk about what it is, how to use it, when it goes well and when it doesn’t.




We wil also use it to unpace these ideas:




Life is too stressful – lets vote for boring




Tax Reform said we were to average 4K back – did you get it – yeah me neither!




The efforts for Stimulus for real people – who pushed that?




Do you feel safer or more scared now – with all the current racial rhetoric (NOTE this is not about if he is racist or not – its about feeling safe and who is responsible)




How are you feeling about COVID-19 are we getting better or worse. If getting better who is pushing the better efforts?




If concered about Debt – who is really better at debt?




How do you feel about global perspective?




Who has a plan for the economy and who just hopes it gets better because it is “now open”?




Who is honest with us and is willing to tell us the bad news we need to hear?




Name one way your life is better now?

Hey all so this is our final podcast of season one folks. Its been wonderful for Calvin and I to share our thoughts and ideas with you everyone. In this our final podcast of our first (hopefully not final season) Calvin the Drapetomaniac and Rowdy the Inclusive Activist introduce the idea of Social Centric Communalism (NOT communism NOT Socialism) Communalism. Living in peace and harmony with our eco-sphere with all our relations and putting WE ahead of importance to me.




Imagine a world where everyone had your back and best interest at heart. Imagine a world where everyone believed there was more than enough for everyone. Imagine a world where we recognized our siblings and relations with the water, the soil, the wind, the sun, the rain and the plants.




In short friends if we want to make it through this world alone – frankly there is never “enough” to be truly safe and secure.

Calvin and Rowdy give you a retrospective out their lives to give you a sense of the humans behind the process. Many times either Calvin or Rowdy have been a bit too deified or seen as more than the simple humans they are – this podcast puts that notion to bed with times we made mistakes. How we learned and grow. And the simple steps we take daily to become the humans we are today – and who we hope to grow into being tomorrow.
