First Voices Indigenous Radio with Tiokasin Ghosthorse
Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes back Gregg Deal of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Gregg is a multi-disciplinary artist, activist, and “disruptor.” His work is informed by his Native identity and includes exhaustive critiques of American society, politics, popular culture and history. In a 2018 TED Talk, Greg described his work as “honoring Indigenous experiences, challenging stereotypes, and pushing for accurate representations of Indigenous people in art.”
Then we feature a discussion about “Saging the World,” a 20-minute documentary film that is the focal point of a campaign to deter the global rush on white sage (Salvia apiana), driven by widespread cultural appropriation of smudging. Tiokasin’s guests are co-directors Rose Ramirez and Deborah Small. The film was created in partnership with the California Native Plant Society.
