The Red Nation Podcast

10/10. Recomended for fans of Yellowstone and Dances with Wolves. Great coverage of stuff you’ll barely hear about in other news outlets. Interesting analysis created by and made for indigenous people, but that is nonetheless valuable to everyone who cares to listen. Learn about beloved elder and political prisoner Leonard Peltier, the grim legacy of Indian boarding schools, and Palestinian and Native resistance and solidarity. If you listen to NPR you’ve already absorbed one side of these issues through the liberal lens of pods like Ear Hustle, Radiolab, and the news. Do yourself a kindness by expanding your horizons with Native media and perspectives. Most importantly get and stay yoted.

Meh

Listening through a few but particularly the episode covering Venezuela you soon realize that this podcast is as extreme to the left as the far right “establishment” they abhor. Don’t waste your time, there’s a reason why few people listen to this garbage. Thank goodness the views here are only held by small group of intellectually challenged people.

Do you want to kill America, the platform which protects your freedom to spew this filth? Dances with Wolves is the most welcoming, educational exposure that most Americans will ever have to the late 1800’s. That’s sad, because there’s so much more. You should appreciate it, at least a little? I’m thankful that we have a great nation where I can listen to a wild opinion. At least you are honest. (Ok, I’ll bump you to a 2 for that.) I’ll also bump you another for the comedy. You make fun of the dirty White Man. I chuckled. Can we do the same of the Red Man? If you have it both ways, good. Your take on a few things with Dances was solid. Like the fact that so much was going on and they made it seem like it was all peace and harmony. There was a lot more going on in 62-63. My fam are pioneers who settled near Sedgwick, the location that Dances was to take place. I have letters where they talk about Indians coming around, begging or demanding free stuff. I also wish so many things would have been different. I sit in judgement of both. Also, Communism is not what you think it is. The Trail of Tears is no where near a sad as the history of that ideology. I’ll follow and keep checking in to hear this nuttiness. I pray they do the same. I’d love the opportunity to break bread, smoke a pipe, and honestly talk through these things with these folks.
