First Voices Radio - Syndicated National - International

First Voices Radio - Syndicated National - International First Voices Radio live Sundays 7-8PM ET (Prime Time) on WKNY (1490AM and 1790 FM), Kingston, NY.

Available worldwide on RadioKingston.org and syndicated on 100+ radio stations across Turtle Island. FIRST VOICES RADIO brings to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives, and struggles of Indigenous people who have been almost totally excluded from both mainstream and progressive alternative media. Our purpose is to help ensure the continuance and survival of Indigenous cultures and Nations by

letting the People tell their own stories, in their own words, and often in their own languages and ways of speaking. And with as little outside interference and interruption as possible. As we open up the airwaves week after week to the voices seldom heard in the last 530 years, it is our prayer that the newcomers to this Land - that is, every immigrant group - will begin to question their assumptions about Indigenous people here. We ask that they become educated and informed, get activated, break down their romanticization, break free of their stereotypes, and begin to form genuine relationships with Indigenous communities based on respect and accurate understanding. This one hour is devoted to bringing the voices of the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island (i.e., North America) and connecting their struggles with those of other Indigenous Peoples around the world. And while never forgetting that standing with Earth is a great responsibility. We ask our guests with great respect to do the honor of coming on the program to offer their knowledge, wisdom, and experience, an ability handed down over hundreds of thousands of years. It is a responsibility we take very seriously, and we know it is with great urgency that we ask these voices to be shared in these times of change. We offer our listeners a perspective they have been missing for far too long - the First Voices of the Indigenous peoples - the "voice" America has tried to silence. Tiokasin knows that First Voices Radio belongs to all the Native or Indigenous peoples throughout Mother Earth. The responsibilities can be taught by listening to the actual landowners (so to speak) and understanding the knowledge, the wisdom, the struggles, and the unheard voices. It is said, "if the lies continue about Native peoples, it will create an illusion, all Americans will dearly pay for in the future...and the future is now". So what kind of world are Americans creating with their privilege of denying Native people's voice and the reality of truth Natives experience daily. Tiokasin brings his global perspective experience of living with and understanding these two worlds - Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Indigenous knowledge empowers through inclusion by teaching responsibility of choices and contributing to an emerging world affecting Earth. We as humans often revolutionize [regurgitate] the same history, by the same system, and by the same people who bring destruction to Earth. Many people who continue to support systems of warmongering are not only destroying their own ability to live with Mother Earth but also only thinking of wars as political, religious, or racial hatred. First Voices Radio, since 1992, with various name changes, brings the voices of Indigenous peoples defending Earth. We have always understood the bigger war is the war against Earth.
