"On this week’s edition of Indigenous in the News, we’re honored to welcome a passionate advocate, organizer, and protector of Indigenous rights — Robert Rosa, President of the American Indian Movement Central Florida. Robert has been on the frontlines of some of Florida’s most urgent struggles involving sacred lands, burial site desecration, and the ongoing failure of institutions to uphold Native sovereignty and federal protections like the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act — known as NAGPRA. As a leader within AIM, Robert has worked tirelessly to hold contractors, developers, and public officials accountable when sacred Indigenous burial sites are threatened or destroyed. His work isn’t just about resistance — it’s about education, justice, and healing. Today, he joins us to shed light on the battles unfolding across Florida where Native history is being bulldozed in the name of profit — and to share how community members, tribal nations, and allies can take action to protect the ancestors and the laws that were meant to honor them. INDIGENOUS IN THE NEWS WITH ROBERT ROSA ABOUT ROBERT ROSA Robert Rosa is the dedicated President of the American Indian Movement (AIM) Central Florida chapter and an active advocate for the protection of Indigenous heritage and sacred sites. Under his leadership, AIM Central Florida has successfully intervened in multiple cases where developers attempted to disturb Native mounds and burial grounds. Notably, in February 2023, Rosa played a key role in persuading Jupiter's Historical Review Board to deny a permit for excavation at a site containing ancient Indian mounds, resulting in the land’s protection. A member of the Taino community, Rosa has also worked collaboratively with Miccosukee and Seminole tribal representatives to challenge unauthorized digs across the region, emphasizing respect for ancestral lands and cultural sovereignty seminoletribune.org. He is known for persistent public advocacy, attending local government meetings, raising community awareness, and helping secure protections at sites with deep historical significance . Committed to preserving these sacred spaces, Rosa continues to lead grassroots campaigns across Central Florida—challenging developers, mobilizing allies, and ensuring that Indigenous voices are central to decisions about land use and cultural heritage. CONTACT AIM CENTRAL FLORIDA Email: aimcfchapter@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/AIMCentralFlorida Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-indian-movement-central-florida/?viewAsMember=true ABOUT NAGPRA Purpose To protect Native American burial sites on federal and tribal lands. To ensure that Native communities can reclaim ancestral remains and sacred items from museums and federal institutions. To prevent construction and development projects from disturbing Native graves without proper consultation and procedures. Who Must Comply Federal agencies Public museums that receive federal funding Developers or contractors working on federal or tribal lands Main Requirements Inventory and Repatriation Museums must inventory and identify Native remains and objects in their collections. Institutions must notify and work with tribes affiliated with those items for their return. Discovery on Federal or Tribal Lands If Native human remains or cultural items are discovered on federal or tribal land, the agency or contractor must: Immediately stop all activity. Notify the appropriate tribes. Follow a respectful process for possible repatriation or reburial. Consultation with Tribes Before any project that might impact cultural sites, agencies are required to consult with affiliated Native nations. Penalties Institutions that fail to comply can face civil penalties, lawsuits, and loss of federal funding. Unauthorized excavation or possession of remains or sacred objects can result in criminal prosecution under related laws like the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA). Limitations and Challenges NAGPRA only applies on federal or tribal lands, not private property—this is a major loophole. Enforcement is often slow, inconsistent, or ignored. Developers sometimes evade the law through poor oversight or weak local enforcement. Why It Matters For Native communities, NAGPRA is more than a legal tool — it’s about respecting ancestors, preserving identity,

Surprise! James Monroe didn’t write the Monroe Doctrine—John Quincy Adams did... then he refused to take credit like the ultimate 1820s ghostwriter. In this episode, Kyle and Eric dig into the foreign policy flex that told Europe to stay outta the Western Hemisphere (while we quietly kept receipts). We break down the real reason the doctrine was written (hint: hi, Russia), why Latin America loved the idea but side-eyed our follow-through, and how the U.S. turned “no new colonies” into “we run this hemisphere now.” From British drama to Venezuelan oil beefs, we’re covering it all—plus, a presidential power ranking that might just put Monroe in GOAT contention. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You might hear the word “non-colonialization” butchered more than once.

Sally Roesch Wagner died June 11th, 2025, at nearly 83 years old. She is renowned for her deep research into the women's suffrage movement in the United States, its inspiration from first nations women, and the deep division created by allying with right-wing religious and racist women. Sally recovered the erased history of Matilda Joslyn Gage, an adopted member of an indigenous band who saw true gender equality and who blamed western patriarchal religion for women's oppression. Sally publicly performed as Gage and as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She also taught, and held a doctorate in Women's Studies and History of Consciousness. 

Think you know James Monroe? Think again. In this fiery episode, Kyle and Eric spill the historical tea on the 5th President of the United States, diving deep into the Monroe Doctrine, territorial expansion, and the absolute trainwreck that was the Panic of 1819 — aka America’s first big economic flop. We’re talking federal power, tariff drama, and the not-so-United States flexing on each other pre-Civil War. You’ll get the lowdown on Andrew Jackson’s unauthorized chaos in Florida, the founding of Liberia, and the messy reality behind the Missouri Compromise. Oh, and did we mention presidential pets? Yeah, that’s in here too. This episode is a wild ride through early American economics, international diplomacy, and all the hot takes they don’t teach you in school. Whether you're a history buff, policy wonk, or just here for the tea, this one’s got it all.

Get ready for a presidential glow-up like no other. In this episode, hosts Eric Mason and Kyle take you deep into the world of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States—and the face of what was questionably called the Era of Good Feelings. Spoiler: it wasn’t all sunshine and unity. We’re unpacking Monroe’s crushing win over Rufus King in the 1816 election, the forgotten greatness of Vice President Daniel Tompkins (a broke abolitionist hero), and Monroe’s awkward attempt at a “national unity” tour that stirred up more tension than it solved. It’s a wild ride through early American politics: *The founding fathers’ financial failures—yep, a bunch of them died broke *The juicy Reynolds Affair scandal that shook the nation *Monroe’s underrated but wildly effective cabinet *His rivalry with Alexander Hamilton and all the ego that came with it *And the quiet but powerful influence of Elizabeth Monroe, a First Lady who brought French elegance and diplomatic finesse to the White House

James Monroe: war hero, founding father, and the real reason the Monroe Doctrine is still a thing today. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric break down the messy legacy of America’s fifth president. From battlefields to foreign policy, Monroe’s story is full of contradictions and drama you never saw coming. We’re diving into: * The Monroe Doctrine - America's original "stay out of our backyard" policy. * The not-so-good Era of Good Feelings (spoiler: it was complicated). * Monroe's real relationship with slavery, Gabriel's rebellion, and the Missouri Compromise. * The role of religion and rebellion in early America. * Plus, wild presidential trivia you won't find in your history books.

The relationship between Zionism and Judaism has been a subject of intense debate for over a century, shaping political movements, religious beliefs, and global perceptions of Jewish identity. While Judaism is an ancient faith and cultural tradition, Zionism is a modern political ideology that emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The intersection of these two concepts has led to deep divisions within Jewish communities, as well as broader geopolitical conflicts. Judaism is one of the world’s oldest monotheistic religions, dating back thousands of years. It is centered around the belief in one God, the teachings of the Torah, and a rich tradition of laws, ethics, and customs. Jewish identity is complex, encompassing religious, ethnic, and cultural elements. Some Jews identify primarily through religious observance, while others see their Jewishness as a cultural or ancestral connection. Historically, Jewish communities have lived across the world, adapting to different societies while maintaining their distinct traditions. Despite periods of persecution, Jewish identity has remained resilient, evolving through centuries of exile, migration, and cultural exchange. Zionism emerged in the late 19th century, largely in response to European antisemitism and the desire for Jewish self-determination. The movement was spearheaded by figures like Theodor Herzl, who argued that Jews needed a sovereign state to escape persecution. The idea gained momentum, leading to the eventual establishment of Israel in 1948. However, Zionism is not a singular ideology—it has taken different forms: • Political Zionism focused on securing a Jewish state through diplomacy and international agreements. • Religious Zionism merged Jewish faith with nationalist aspirations, viewing Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. • Revisionist Zionism advocated for a more aggressive expansionist approach, influencing modern Israeli policies. While many Jews embraced Zionism, others opposed it, arguing that Judaism is a spiritual and ethical tradition, not a political movement. Some religious groups believe that a Jewish state should only be established by divine intervention, not human action. The Battle Over Jewish Identity: The tension between Zionism and Judaism has led to a battle over what it means to be Jewish. Some argue that Zionism has redefined Jewish identity, making support for Israel a central component of Jewish life. Others believe that Judaism should not be tied to nationalism, emphasizing spiritual and ethical teachings over political allegiance. Critics of Zionism, including some Jewish groups, argue that the movement has led to militarization, occupation, and human rights violations, particularly against Palestinians. They believe that Jewish identity should be rooted in justice, morality, and coexistence, rather than territorial expansion. On the other hand, Zionist supporters claim that Israel is essential for Jewish survival, providing a safe haven against antisemitism. They argue that opposition to Zionism often overlaps with antisemitic rhetoric, making it difficult to separate criticism of Israeli policies from attacks on Jewish people. Modern Implications: Today, the debate over Zionism and Jewish identity continues to shape global politics. In Israel, tensions exist between secular and religious Jews, as well as between Jewish and Palestinian communities. In the diaspora, Jewish communities are divided over Israel’s policies, with some advocating for Palestinian rights and others defending Israeli sovereignty. The question remains: Is Jewish identity inherently tied to Zionism, or can Judaism exist independently of a nation-state? As discussions evolve, Jewish communities worldwide continue to grapple with the balance between faith, culture, and political ideology.
