  11. Cafe Ali on WUSB_4_9_25; A return visit! still promoting the screening of Sugarcane at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington but a new conversation.

    I join Ahmed Ali for a second day in the run up to our screening of the Oscar nominated film Sugarcane at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington NY. Hoping to fill the house and looking forward to the conversation after the film.

  12. Cafe Ali on WUSB_4_8_25; John Kane goes on air at Stony Brook to promote Sugarcane.

    This time I'm the guest as I join Ahmed Ali on WUSB Stony Brook

    LTN #591 12_31_24; A look back on 2024 and a look forward to 2025! by John Kane

  14. LTN #590 12-17-24; I watched Sugarcane, the film. Now let's talk residential schools!

    It cannot possibly be a coincidence that this level of abuse could occur at EVERY Indian Boarding School. "Kill the Indian - Save the Man" was not just a metaphor. Metaphors do not require graves!

  15. LTN #589 12/10/24; Akwesasne Land SELLOUT! What do we do to and about those who signed?

    Yesterday a group calling themselves a tri-council signed a land claim settlement in direct violation of their own authority and will of the people.

  16. LTN #588 12/3/24; 2024 is almost in the book. Let's close it out with the tough talk you expect.

    Lots of bad history with December and a year that ends with Trump returning to the White House. How fitting!

  17. LTN #587 10/29/24; Joe Biden's Apology

    LTN #587 10/29/24; Joe Biden's Apology by John Kane

  18. My Two-Hour Special for Indigenous Peoples Day

  19. LTN#586 10/7/24; Redskins! Redskins! Redskins!

    Almost ten years after the school's name change, the Lancaster little league football team still has "Redskins" embedded in their program.

  20. LTN#585 9/30/24; It's Orange Shirt Day!

    These are my words on the subject, the day and what we should be demanding.

  21. LTN #584 9/24/24; Monday, September 30th is Orange Shirt Day! Here are my thoughts!

    The slogan never should have been "Every Child Matters!" That was like responding to "Black Lives Matter" with "All Lives Matter." We should have used "Native Children Matter" or "Our Children Matter." But the final report from the Interior Department on Residential Schools suggest our children...

  22. LTN #583, 8/7/24; Political Misfits interviews me on the DOI's "Final Report."

  24. LTN #581 4/27/24; LIVE From Akwesasne! Exposing A Proposed Land Claim Settlement.

    Tekarontake joins me for a broadcast from Akwesasne to discuss a land claims settlement proposed by frauds.

  25. Noel Bass Filmmaker of The Bears on Pine Ridge is my guest!

    Noel Bass joins me again three years after producing a short film on the incredible people tackling the suicide epidemic on the Pine Ridge Reservation with a full length documentary covering the issue.

  26. LTN #579 2/28/24; Challenging Authoritarian Rule

    Much of what is deemed "law" in the US is not an actual product of the legislative system. The creation of "legal doctrine" requires no actual law. Courts, the Supreme Court in particular has somehow become vested with a power to legislate from the bench and allow their written opinions to gain…

  27. Interview By Agnes Williams of the Indigenous Women's Initiative

    I am interviewed by Agnes Williams of the Indigenous Women's Initiative. We cover the Seneca Gaming conflict with NYS and displacement in the gaming market by the State.

  28. Let's Talk Native #578 11/15/23; Culture wars are destroying education! And they are getting help.

    Between the attacks on education coming from the right and higher ed themselves marketing college only as a path to financial enrichment, universities and colleges are losing a battle for survival. enrollment is down as the costs continue to rise. But have we lost the true value in pursuing...

  29. Let's Talk Native #577 11/8/23; We have to do more than just mention suicide on Native territories

    I've seen film and television, even with Native producers, that mention suicide or otherwise include suicides in their content but fail to adequately address the underlying issues leading to them.

  30. Let's Talk Native with John Kane #576 10/25/23; My review of Killers of the Flower Moon

    See this film but know that it's NOT the true story. Read the book!

    I spoke at the North Tonawanda History Museum in September. This was my presentation.

  32. LTN #575 9 13 23; The Seneca/NYS Gaming Compact is set to expire on December 9th

    The Gaming Compact will expire before the end of the year and the Seneca Nation is miles away from an agreement with the State and even farther away from an agreement with their own people. The Seneca Nation attempted to stop revenue sharing in 2017 so why are they pushing for revenue sharing now?

  33. LTN#574 7/4/23 Let's Talk Native Hawaiian! Kaiulani Mahuka is my Special Guest.

    So the US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland made a quiet visit to Hawaii and was hosted for an event at the Hawaiian Kingdom's Iolani Palace. She talked about restoring the building but not restoring the Palace to its rightful owners. My long time friend Kaiulani Mahuka joins me for trip to the past...

  34. Wanting gaming in the worst way; and getting it! Seneca Gaming!

    This is another show lifted from my radio shows in New York City and Washington DC. I give a few comments on the ICWA challenge now that some of the dust has cleared after the Supreme Court ruling and then I return to the on-going saga of Seneca gaming and the organized crime syndicate known as…

  35. Let's Talk Native 6/15/23; Well, let's talk ICWA!

    This podcast is actually from my radio show but the subject is important and the info needs to be shared. The SCOTUS just rejected a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act. I have never been a fan of the law but this challenge had a lot more at stake than ICWA. Let's talk about the law, the...

  36. Interview With Grace And Keith Burich On NYS Thruway 6/7/23

    A small section of the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90)crosses through the Seneca Territory of Cattaraugus. The Seneca Nation has been assessing payments due to them from tolls collected by the State and argues the State owes them over $600,000,000. Grace Burich joins me with her father...

  37. LTN#573 4/12/23; Tekarontake joins LTN to discuss leadership and service to others.

  38. LTN#572 4/6/23; The Vatican is NOT sorry for what they did, but reject the Doctrin of Discovery.

  39. Let's Talk Native #571 3/21/23; Sorry for the absence but I'm back now.

    I had a surgery that went a little sideways on me and has laid me up for the last two months. Here's my ordeal in detail to explain where I have been.

  40. LTN#570 1/8/23; I Am A Warrior

    I read my excerpt from The Mohawk Warrior Society.

  41. LTN#569 11/27/22; Valerie Lambert author of "Native Agency" joins John for an RR broadcast

    This was recorded for a Resistance Radio broadcast but it is well worth sharing here for the LTN listeners. Coming from two very different perspectives and attitudes towards the Bureau of Indian Affairs, John and Valerie offer a great look at the agency, now almost completely run by Native...

  42. LTN#568 11/12/22 Indian Residential/Boarding Schools

    I cannot emphasize enough the scope and scale of this atrocity committed against Native children. It is almost the entirety of US history. 200 years of Genocide.

  43. LTN#567 9/7/22; Cayuga Nation: FED WRECKED!

    The conflict in the Cayuga homelands has raged on for years. At the center of it all is an abuse of authority made possible by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and those who played the Fed Wreck game.

  44. Resistance Radio 9/1/22: Famed Psychologist Philip Zimbardo joins me for my radio show

    Famed Stanford Psychology Professor joins me for Resistance Radio to refute certain claims made about him and his work. We discuss Native mascots, stereotyping and racism.

  45. LTN #566 8/2/22; The Pope Apology Tour

    He refused to apologize for the Church or take ANY responsibility. Keep in mind, this guy made Junipero Sera a "Saint" and he was responsible for deaths of thousands of indigenous children at his missions.

  46. LTN #565 6/29/22; Deb, Kathy and Crystal.

    It's not really breaking a glass ceiling if nothing gets broken! Carrying water for the white male power structure is not change.

  47. #564 - Not All Racists Carry Guns

    A white supremacist came to Buffalo to kill Black people. But not all racists carry guns.

  48. #563 Haaland's Boarding School Report

    This one gets an F! The real info is pretty anemic. Nothing new and no mention of Genocide.

  49. #562 - No Cannabis Compact

    With nearly 100 cannabis dispensaries on Seneca territory alone, questions about what NYS will do when they enter the business remains. →→→→ Like what you hear? Support the show on Patreon! www.patreon.com/letstalknative ←←←←

  50. #561 - Activism: Needed now more than ever!

    I heard it said that we don't need to push our kids to be lawyers and doctors. We need to teach them to be activists.
