This is the second-to-last broadcast of "First Voices Radio." Although the show is leaving the airwaves (the last episode will be Sunday, July 6), Tiokasin wants listeners and supporters to know that he isn't "retiring." Rather, as he says, he's "transitioning, moving into these dimensions that are still offered in life." If listeners want to keep up with him, they can join his Facebook page, Instagram (although he's not very active on that platform), his Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Ghosthorse and, of course, "First Voices Radio's" website at https://firstvoicesindigenousradio.org/, where past shows on many topics can be found.

[email protected] guest, longtime supporter and friend of "First Voices Radio" Steven Newcomb (Shawnee/Lenape) has been researching the history of U.S. federal Indian law and policy for four decades. Steve is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and the influence of the Vatican papal decrees of the fifteenth century on U.S. law and has published several law review articles on the subject. His book "Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery" (Fulcrum, 2008), is the basis for "The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code," a documentary movie directed by Sheldon Wolfchild (Dakota). Originalfreenations.com and Indigenous Law Institute are two websites where some of his work can found. He can be contacted at

Tiokasin says: "In writing this book we have made every effort to respect our readers by not telling them what actions to take if they agree with us on the importance of holocentric consciousness to life on Earth. Here, we propose no new ideology, philosophy or religion - no "to do" list of steps in order to establish a new Earth Mind-centered culture and fix the problems created by modern humans' aggressively anthropocentric approach to pretty much everything. We think that proposing "solutions" will only lead people back into more anthropocentric thinking, falling into the trap of trying to fix the harm created by that thinking by applying more of it. Proposing solutions is comforting but it hasn't worked very well. We need to go deeper."Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerOrlando DuPont, Studio Engineer, Radio KingstonTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.
