Season of Change

It is a season of change. We at Tillicum Wawa recognize the world has changed in so many ways in such a little amount of time and there is lots of change happening at this moment. There is lots of activity in the world as the people seek to have something other than the wealth being sucked away to the top, racism (institutional and overt), etc. Things just aren't working too harmoniously and it is up to us to think and act to foment that change.

We had special guest Samantha King in the studio with us as well.

Winnemem Wintu War Dance/Food Security

 Shusli and Sean

John Schofield of the Winnemem Wintu joined us at Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People, in a discussion of the War Dance they held on the McCloud River a couple of weeks ago to protect their coming of age ceremony from folks who have no respect for such events. He also gave information on how people can help which can also be found at their website: winnimemwintu.us.

We also talked with Sean Cruz about food security in Indian country, from hunger to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, the history and current issues, and the work he is doing in creating a Native American food co-op.

Explore with Inette and ‘Iokepa the authentic ancient teachings of the Hawaiian Grandmothers.  ‘Iokepa will chant; they will share stories, and there will be ample time for discussion and questions.  There will be book signing as well. 

Author Inette Miller and her husband ‘Iokepa Hanalei ‘Imaikalani, a guardian of the aboriginal culture – are travelling to Oregon from their home on Kaua’i – and have agreed to share their remarkable personal story within his ancient, matrilineal culture. For 12,300 years, the indigenous people of the Hawaiian Islands embraced a culture that refused the possibility of war. This seminar awakens that ancient wisdom–ritual and practices that dissipate anger, prevent violence, foster harmony–and shares its profound implications for the 21st century.
