Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aiacr American Indian Airwaves is produced in Burntswamp Studios and started broadcasting on March 1st, 1973 on KPFK in order to give Indigenous peoples and their respective First Nations a voice about the continuous struggles against Settler Colonialism and imperialism by the occupying and settler societies often referred to as the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Latin and South America countries located therein. American Indian Airwaves operates as an all-volunteer collective with no corporate sponsorship and no underwriters.

“Myth or Reality: The State of California’s Public Apology, the Truth & Healing Council, etc."
Valentin Lopez, Amah Mutsun Nation, is Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Nation, one of three historic California Indigenous Nations that are recognized as Ohlone. Valentin is Mutsun, Awaswas, Chumash and Yokuts (http://amahmutsun.org/governance/tribal-council) and he joins us for the entire program to discuss what California Governor Newsom’s Executive Order #1519, a soft public apology “on behalf of California to California Native American Peoples for the many instances of violence, mistreatment and neglect inflicted upon California Native Americans throughout the state’s history” means to California Indigenous peoples and their respective First Nations. Valentin covers numerous perspectives including the State of California’s public apology from a non-federally recognized California Indigenous Nation perspective as well as how non-federally recognized California Indigenous Nations are excluded, thus far, from the establishment of the Truth and Healing Council – a forced-federalism model of government-to-government colonial relationship, plus a lot more.
