“From Vision to Legacy: James Parker Shield on Building the Native Hall of Fame” Get ready for part 2, we welcome back James Parker Shield, the driving force behind the National Native American Hall of Fame. Raised in Montana and a member of the Little Shell Chippewa Tribe, Shield overcame challenges of foster care and homelessness to become a groundbreaking journalist, public servant, and advocate. His Hall of Fame now honors Indigenous heroes from every field, while providing educational programs that ensure Native achievements are remembered and celebrated for generations to come. ABOUT JAMES Jesse Flores is an accomplished music industry executive with more than two decades of experience in artist development, label relations, and business strategy. He currently serves as Vice President of Artist and Label Partnerships at Intercept Music, where he leads initiatives to empower independent musicians and labels through innovative distribution, marketing, and monetization tools.

A passionate advocate for artist empowerment, Jesse continues to shape new pathways for independent creators—helping them grow their audiences, own their work, and build sustainable careers in the global music industry. ABOUT THE AMERICAN INDIAN HALL OF FAME “For many years, I felt there were various resources and facilities for learning about Native Americans from the “old times,” it is difficult to find an accurate and comprehensive source to learn about more contemporary Native Americans. America and its Native American people need a place to honor and commemorate the significant contributions and achievements of more recent historical and contemporary Native Americans. The major focus of the Hall of Fame will be from the Civil War period up until the present day. This time frame was chosen because the Civil War was a milestone event in Native American history in a unique and “modern” sense because Natives fought on both sides of that national conflict. The National Native American Hall of Fame will help people understand how Native Americans overcame the hopelessness of early reservations, and the trauma of Indian boarding schools, poverty, discrimination, racism, and the cultural divide to not only adapt but, in many instances, achieve greatness,” states Shield.

Fifty years ago, on October 24, 1995, 90% of the women in Iceland stopped work for a day to protest inequality. The results going forward from that action have been phenomenal. Iceland now leads the world in women's equality. Filmmakers Pamela Hogan from the US and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdottir in Iceland spent years researching, recording, and producing The Day Iceland Stood Still, compensating for the missing archival footage with animation. The pair spoke with Hope Katz Gibbs of InkandescentTV, for the 50th anniversary of that strike. They see Iceland's example can lead the world.

Smith, research Fellow at the Global Systems Institute on planetary-scale risks. Then provocative Swedish intellectual Professor Andreas Malm on his new book The Long Heat. Surprise, surprise: geoengineering will NOT save us from climate catastrophe.

Introduction: Today’s episode is a reckoning. A reflection. A refusal to forget. We begin with the cost of truth. Not the abstract kind. But the kind paid in blood, in exile, in silence shattered by airstrikes. The kind carried by journalists who filmed through rubble, by families who buried their children, by voices that refused to be erased. We bring you the words of Norman Finkelstein—scholar, son of Holocaust survivors, and lifelong defender of Palestinian rights. His recent speech at the Islamic Center of Passaic County was not just a lecture. It was a moral indictment. A call to conscience. A challenge to every listener to confront the facts, not the fictions. We’ll hear excerpts from that speech today. But more than that—we’ll reflect on what it means to speak truth in a world built to suppress it. To hold fast to memory when history is being rewritten in real time. To resist not just occupation, but erasure. From Gaza to the West Bank, from refugee camps to classrooms, from Ferguson to Jenin—this episode traces the architecture of empire and the heartbeat of resistance. We ask: What does it mean to belong to a land that’s been stolen? What does it mean to carry a name that’s been criminalized? What does it mean to survive genocide and still sing? As headlines fade and attention shifts, the truth remains: Palestinians continue to resist. Even as the threat of re-invasion looms. Even as the ceasefire is sabotaged. Even as the world watches in silence—or complicity. So stay with us. As we strip away the noise. As we uplift the voices. As we carry forward the flame of justice. This is not just a broadcast. It’s a lifeline. It’s a thread between Gaza and the world. Between shattered homes and unshaken hope. Between the rubble and the resolve. Let’s listen.

This is part of the history of a city, grown from 16 houses on sand dunes in 1850 to the largest city on the Pacific Coast in only 30 years. The book, Imperial San Francisco by Dr. Gray Brechin, is one of the few examples of a scholarly dissertation that becomes a very popular book. Imperial San Francisco brings to light the huge sacrifices extracted from the surrounding land by large cities, from Babylon to the Italian city states to the instant cities of North America. This program focuses on the Gold Rush and the early conflicts between mining and farming. Next week we’ll talk about the valleys flooded and the rivers diverted to bring water to SF. Was it worth it? And really also by extension – what was it worth and for whom. This is a provocative, intriguing and unusual way of looking at a city. Especially at one everybody loves – San Francisco the beautiful the dream of travelers and immigrants. This interview was recorded on August 11,2000, and and comes with an update that shows how contemporary many of the issues are. Gray Brechin is visiting scholar in the UC Berkeley Department of Geography and has embarked on a new project that continues to give him pleasure and inspiration. He and a team of researchers are chronicling the often forgotten works of the 1930s and 40s New Deal. The website of the Living New Deal dot org shows the record of a lost society of a once intensely public spirited America. They have so far mapped more than 17,000 sites across the US and now, in 2022, it amounts to more than 100 sites in every state. All this both in contrast as well as inspiration to the current New Deal.
