Native America Calling
Show: Clarifying Marriage
Date: June 8, 2006
Link: NAC doesn't have link to show. Working on getting this info.
Summary (from NAC website): It’s a debate that’s back on the Senate floor for the second time in two years, clarifying what constitutes a marriage? In the past it was widely taken for granted that a marriage was between a man and a woman. But times have changed and today 19 states have constitutional amendments limiting marriage to heterosexual couples. 43 states have statutes prohibiting same-sex unions. Only Massachusetts allows same-sex couples to marry. What are the legal benefits of marriage? How would this constitutional change discriminate against homosexual people? And does this debate belong at the state level or the national political arena? Guests are Kathy Reynolds (Cherokee), Defendant/ Gay Marriage, and Ken Harper (Cherokee), Founding Member/ Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits.
Show: Transgender Natives
Date: January 26, 2006
Link: NAC doesn't have link to show. Working on getting this info.
Summary (from NAC website): Before the arrival of Europeans, “two-spirited” or transgender people played an active role in some tribal communities. Some tribes held them in high esteem because they had special psychic and healing powers. Over the years the role of a transgender has changed in those same tribal communities. Today, transgendered people have a difficult time being accepted by society. They experience violence and living a life of isolation. How does your tribe acknowledge transgender or two-spirited people? Guests are Trudie Jackson (Navajo), Transgender, Ashliana Hawelu (Native Hawaiian, Cherokee), Transgender, and Angel Manuel (Tohono 'O'daham), Transgender.
