First Nations Freaks

“Whenever you take anything from the Earth, remember to leave an offering.”     
–Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE 


Is this something you practice? How often do you really take something from the Earth? What do you tend to leave when you in exchange?

Aboriginal Peoples' Television Network "APTN has served Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences in Canada for over two decades. During this time, the network has steadfastly adhered to its mission: To share our Peoples’ journey, celebrate our cultures, inspire our children and honour the wisdom of our Elders." They've got news, educational programming, and drama.

You likely want to use a VPN to connect to a Canadian IP address to create an account and stream videos. Conversely, you'll want a US IP for this other one.

"First Nations Experience is the first and only national broadcast television network in the United States exclusively devoted to Native American and World Indigenous content. Through Native-produced and themed documentaries, dramatic series, nature, cooking, gardening, children's and arts programming, FNX strives to accurately illustrate the lives and cultures of Native people around the world."

"Listen to all the teachers in the woods. Watch the trees, the
animals, and all living things - you'll learn more from them
than from books."

Your thoughts?

Mark is currently on a campaign swing through the Southwest. He currently has 3 events scheduled where he will do a meet & greet followed by a speech highlighting his vision and values for his campaign.

Monday, July 8 from 11 am - 1 pm at the Fort Defiance Chapter House in Fort Defiance, AZ. See Facebook event for details.

Tuesday, July 9 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM. See Facebook event for details.

Wednesday, July 10 in the evening (exact time and location TBD) in Gallup, NM

Mark believes strongly that if someone wants to be President of the United States (a land which Natives refer to as Turtle Island) the most appropriate and respectful place to begin such a campaign is by speaking to the indigenous hosts of the land. This is why Mark decided to take his first official campaign trip to the Navajo Nation and the Pueblos of the Southwest, and why he is planning on traveling to Native nations in Oklahoma, Minnesota, South Dakota and throughout the United States.

We invite you to financially support this groundbreaking campaign as Mark seeks to build a nation where 'We The People' truly means #All The People.

Thank you,

Mark Charles 2020

Please join the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation in their ongoing peaceful protest*, which has now evolved into a hunger strike by Grand Chief Verna Polson, at 100 Wellington, located on unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Nation.

"To all people who stand in solidarity with the Algonquin Anishinabe First Nation, we ask that you visit our Grand Chief Verna Polson who is bravely camped at 100 Wellington St. in Ottawa for 11 days now and counting. The Grand Chief is protesting the disrespect the Government of Canada and the three NIOs are showing to the Algonquin People by not including them as full and equal partners, on whose lands Canada's Parliament Buildings are built. The Algonquin protocols are not being recognized and as titleholders to the land, we must protect it for the children of today and tomorrow. Our rights as a host nation are in jeopardy with this project. We will not be ignored.

We ask that you bring a tobacco tie, containing your prayer and good intentions of support. The Grand Chief will graciously receive your tobacco and keep it safely by her side to inspire and motivate her until the Algonquin Nation are full and equal partners. The tobacco gathered at the protest camp will then be feasted and offered into a sacred fire at a ceremonial site within the perimeters of Algonquin territory. Show your support! Show your respect!"
