I Am the Pain Doctor: Traditional Curer on the Island of Guam-Juan Cepeda
There are four parts to this wonderful documentary. It is one of the most respectful representations of our culture and our people. Outsider narratives telling our stories have so many layers of colonialist #*&% to sift thru. I can appreciate this man's work and giving serious study to an aspect of our culture that can well be what can usher us thru cultural, physical, environmental and spiritual survival and sustainability.

Tony Platt, Grave Matters: Excavating California's Buried Past
Ugly Chapters
Native American remains were routinely dug up and collected over a period of almost two centuries; by some estimates, one million skeletons were looted. How could this happen? And what role did museums, as well as academics based at places like UC Berkeley, play in these large-scale desecrations? Tony Platt has written an expose. Also, James A. Miller discusses the notorious case of the so-called Scottsboro Boys.

Peruvian Social Psychologist Cristina Herencia on Indigenous Peoples
Rag Radio
June 29, 2012
Cristina Herencia is a Peruvian social psychologist who works in interdisciplinary social sciences with a specialty in the study of indigenous peoples. On this show she discusses the effect of globalization and the spread of global capitalism on native peoples, especially in the Americas; the historical -- and continuing -- injustices committed against native peoples; the reemergence of indigenous peoples' movements on the public scene and the role of the United Nations in providing them with a forum; and what the non-patriarchial, egalitarian, earth-rooted Indian cultures have to offer a contemporary world in crisis.
Herencia, who has been teaching introductory sociology at Austin Community College, has a Masters in Experimental Psychology from the State University of New York (SUNY) and a Ph.D in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. Cristina’s primary research deals with social identity in Native Andean peoples and cultures, especially in relation to gender, and the impact of globalization on their lives. She has presented talks and papers in the United States and in Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Peru, and Spain -- and in Havana and Paris. She attended the 1992 Columbus Quincentennial Commemoration and for the last nine years has participated in United Nations forums on indigenous peoples.
