@johnfugelsang.bsky.social given your love of music, this might be a great intersectional topic for your weekly segment with @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social and @juliefrancella.com

Aanii, Julie! I assumed you already knew about it. By the way, I really cherish you and Simon educating us every week about indigenous history and how it echoes in the issues facing indigenous people, today. ☮️💙

Actually PBS will live on. When gov't funding ends, we will still be able to become members and have access to their library, like a streaming service. www.ninepbs.org/blogs/news/d...

I saw Link Ray in a small club in Rochester, ny. He kept blowing an amp during rumble. He was really high but his son kept kept kept the music going.

Actually, my apologies, it's Link Wray.

Link Wray - inventor of the power chord. He had the only instrumental song that was banned by the FCC.”Rumble.”

The other cool thing: the confluence of indigenous and African-American music. Did not know that connection ❤️ For Canadians out there, it’s free on CBC Gem 🇨🇦

Brilliant documentary! Music to me is a universal language. How can people fight if they're too busy groovin' to a badass tune?

I try to get as many people to watch that as I can, Native Music history tends to be erased for a Black and white (literally) view of musical history.

My late husband was full blood Chippewa-Cree. In our 39 years together, we talked about music a million times, but never about this. I wish he was here to watch it. Thank you for sharing this.

Sounds like you truly loved him, and that makes life worthwhile. My mom and dad were together for over 42 years when he passed away, dad was a pistol he was very mixed overall, a lakota man with multiple lakota tribes, cherokee, and a bland of southern tribes and some hispanic roots.

My mom is a mixed up European woman who is mostly Celtic, despite her own trauma from living on multiple reservations growing up (including standing rock during the AIM riots in the 70s). She always loved native people and our cultures, her and dad were fierce in teaching me to love my roots.

Since we lost dad mom has become insperable with his sister, and me and her spend a lot of time making teas, muscle rubs, food and more for the people i the family who have less. I love the unity of a good native family, it's very unique.

Thank you for sharing your part of your life with me. Its good to meet someone like you who i can talk about this with. I'm sorry about your dad. I know how your mom feels. 🤗🥰

I was from Oklahoma, and spending a lot of time in Pine Ridge area was quite the education. I have several cousins that live there now. Their parents both died from diabetes. That marriage didn't last but two years. My second husband was a wonderful man from Montana. He died in 2022.

Yes it is. My stepfather was native american from Oklahoma, and his brother married a Lakota woman. They lived at Wounded Knee. We lived with them for a year, and i met my first husband, a Lakota Sioux, in Chadron, NE. We lived with his mom, who had a large family in Pine Ridge.

We moved there after i got married at 17. Its kind of strange to go from Chadron into Pine Ridge, isn't it? I haven't been back in many years, but i have lots of good memories. There used to be a blue house across from Pine Ridge hospital. My mother in laws family lived there.

not sure if it is still there, but that hospital holds a lot of trauma for me... I hate IHS
