ROSS HAMILTON - Author of A TRADITION OF GIANTS discusses one of the great enigmas of western and world anthropology: who were they, from where did they come, and why did they disappear? In PART ONE of a series involving the little known prehistory of the Americas, especially North America. With on the rare exception, modern anthropology has difficulty admitting these people (giants) ever existed. Even as National Geographic shows evidence of ancient "little people" have been found in Asia and elswhere, there still remains a denial of the 1992 Native American Graves and Repatriation Act for Native peoples. The research continues about the facts that in North America, people of an implausible stature once resided in numbers enough to view their social order as different from any known to ethnologists. PART TWO continues next week.

We focused on the jazz fusion group that rocked as hard as any rock group in the 1970s, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. "Their ascending and descending distortion-laden mantra-like riffs and unison playing set a standard for jazz-rock that is still in place today. Its Indian influences merged with blues scales and rock rawness set the music world on fire. The musical attack was relentless. Melodies and rhythms like had never been heard before. The distortion and the loudness could be insulting, and the speed of the playing was mind-numbing. In short, they were one of the greatest jazz-fusion bands ever made. Although the Mahavishnu Orchestra enjoyed a relatively short reign, their influence still reverberates today." Walter Kolosky - All about Jazz

TOM PORTER (Mohawk) www.mohawkcommunity.com Traditional Chief and his family come back to the valley from which their forefathers were exiled almost two hundred years ago. The Mohawk Nation, along with the Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Seneca, and Cayuga, made up the Iroquois Confederacy. This unique system of intertribal government was founded to establish peace and democracy among all the nations of the Iroquois (or, as they called themselves, the Haudenosaunee People of the Longhouse), while preserving the integrity of each. The principles of democracy laid down by the Iroquois Confederacy would be admired by the Founding Fathers of the United States and woven into the fabric of the Constitution.********** MARIO MURILLO – Professor at Hofstra University talks about the film “A Country of Peoples: Without Owners” was conceptualized, written, edited and produced by the Communication Team of the Association of Indigenous Councils of Northern Cauca, ACIN.************* ADELARD BLACKMON (Dene) from Buffalo River, Saskatchewan, Canada serves on the United Nations Indigenous Commission on Human Rights talks of his experience and insight of the treatment of earth.
