Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota

First Voices Radio, Tuesday, April 18, 2017 — Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks with two guests in this edition of “First Voices Radio.” His first guest is James Martinez, a media ecologist, radio talk show host and pioneer in radio broadcasting and behavior modification. James has long collaborated to support Cold Fusion —L.E.N.R., “low energy nuclear reactions — as fact and a necessary antidote to the liberation of the human race.
In 2013, after months of planning and at the request of the now late Russell Means, James made the arrangement for the first donated Cold Fusion device from America be given to The Russell Means Library for the Lakota Nation and for Russell Means. More information can be found at www.coldfusionnow.org and www.truthout.org. More information about James Martinez is at www.JamesMartinezMedia.net.
Tiokasin’s second guest is Dwaine Perry, Chief of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation located in Mahweh, New Jersey. Chief Perry has a long history of advocacy and has sat with elders and Indigenous leaders in the Himalayas, the Andes and throughout North America, seeking and coalescing the seeds of unity and truth remaining in the colonized mind. He champions human rights today, focusing primarily on issues concerning the Ramapough Lunaape Nation and the Indigenous community at-large.
Chief Perry's journey to Standing Rock last year resulted in the establishment of the Split Rock Sweet Water Camp in Northern New Jersey where the people have been met with much the same hostility as those at Standing Rock. Recently, Chief Perry has called for all peoples in the New York region to stand united against all forms of environmental genocide, greed and avarice.

Indigenous Peoples Hold Earth Day Forum to Address Nuclear Threats

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Indigenous Peoples from Western Shoshone, Havasupai, Diné (Navajo), and Paiute Nations will gather on Earth Day 2017 to address nuclear threats. The Native American Forum on Nuclear Issues 2017 (NAFNI 2017) will be held Saturday, April 22 from 1:00 pm until 8:00 pm at the UNLV Barrick Museum Auditorium. The forum will address the renewed threat of the proposed Yucca Mountain High Level Nuclear Waste Repository, new uranium mining at the Grand Canyon, the thousands of abandoned uranium mines spread throughout the US, desecration of sacred sites, and cancer risks.

Trump has proposed $120 million to re-initiate the licensing process for the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, who recently toured the site, is being sued by Texas officials who are pushing to have Yucca Mountain permitted within one year.
Nevada state officials are opposed to the licensing and have intervened in suit.

Since 1951 the US and UK have conducted nuclear testing within Western Shoshone homelands causing a wide variety of adverse health consequences know to be plausible from exposure to radiation in fallout. The proposed Yucca Mountain high level nuclear waste repository, if licensed, will add significant risk factors to the lives of the Shoshone and Paiute people. Yucca Mountain, in the heart of the Western Shoshone Nation, is also sacred site for Shoshone and Paiute peoples.

According to Ian Zabarte, Secretary of the Native Community Action Council, “Yucca Mountain is within the Shoshone treaty boundary and therefore cannot meet the licensing requirement of ownership since the treaty is in full force and effect. This is our primary contention at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Atomic Safety Licensing Board.”
