Hey, all.
I think this is important. Way more important than my usual gibberish. It involves the upcoming referendum in Australia about the parliamentary referendum on an official indigenous Voice, and this was an interview I did with Elana Mitchell over the weekend in that regard.
Here’s the link- I encourage you to click on it and check it out.
A few clarifications re: the podcast. While speaking, I did my best to stick to the facts and the facts only. I gave only a thumbnail sketch of my military service, so I glossed over a lot.
If anyone wants the full details, I’m happy to provide them via email.
In regards to my family’s history and tribal affiliation, much of this is also available in public records. Minnesota does an amazing job with historical documentation. However, I also relied upon family oral history, which was astonishingly accurate over a 230-year sweep of history.
‘Nuff said.
Elana did an amazing job in helping me tell a very personal, very painful, story. The linked page she created is comprehensive and professional.
If you have the time, take a look. It’s important.
Cheers,
J
