Native American Solidarity Program
In this program for Native American solidarity during the Carter administration in the 1970s, Edna McGee talks about the trade union movement, and different minority groups’ need to unionize. Simon Ortiz reads a long poem about Indian experience, the military and the government. He then reads from a children’s book briefly before being cut off by the end of side A. On side B, Ortiz makes a speech about Indians in the international community, referring to what their people want to do at the Geneva conference. He speaks passionately about white people’s abuse of the Earth, the US’s mistreatment of Indians, how the Indians of the western hemisphere are alive and aware, and about their beliefs and morals.
