Another "Genocide Cover-Up Day" is under out belts.
Genocide is still occurring. One of our main topics was that the crime of genocide is seen under a narrow scope and many don't even know exactly what it is.
We also talked with Gilbert Towner and Judy Fry, a couple of Tututun elders. Along with Shusli, they brought a more local flavor to the crime of genocide and how it effects indigenous peoples today.
My favorite quote, and hopefully Shusli and others will comment here with theirs: "Ouch! That hurts! Now cut that out!" We can open the door to a discussion of genocide here, if you all would like.
Shusli, Jim Craven, Me, and Eli were at the mics. The engineer was Richard Ullom. The coffee maker was Devon. Kathleen Stephenson graciously opened the door for this program to take place. The callers were mighty awesome, along with one of the folks, Reverend Jim Dancing Trout, who was one of the original founders of this program.
Let's all do what we can to end the crime of genocide.
