Tunes From Turtle Island

Indigenous made music from North America

Hello There

Hello There

Welcome to the only European radio show (AFAIK) to promote the indigenous made music of North America/Turtle Island, which consists now of 23 national states, and Greenland. Formally called the Turtle Island Radio Show. I’m a one-man operation and I do this because I really love the music but also to raise awareness of the environmental and social issues faced by these communities. At present the show goes out weekly on Resonance FM in London UK. Four FM stations in Austria, Radio Freequenns,  Radio Agora, and Radio Proton, and Radio Fro. And in Italy on Radio Onde Furlane. The show is given freely to non-commercial stations or those that are part of the European Free Radio network. It is also Podcast by Pantheon Podcasts every Friday. I am a multidisciplinary artist who loves music. More about me 🙂 If you like what I’m doing a please consider giving a small donation to help me continue.  Buy Me a Coffee.

‘Assassinated in cold blood’: activist killed protesting Georgia’s ‘Cop City’

elkis Terán spoke with her child, Manuel, nearly every day by WhatsApp from her home in Panama City, Panama. She also had names and numbers for some of Manuel’s friends, in case she didn’t hear from the 26-year-old who was protesting “Cop City”, a planned gigantic training facility being built in a wooded area near Atlanta, Georgia.

I’m pretty sure this is as relevant now as it was a year ago 🤬
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
“The Saskatoon freezing deaths were a series of three deaths of Indigenous Canadians in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the early 2000s, which were confirmed to have been caused by members of the Saskatoon Police Service. The police officers would arrest Indigenous people, usually men, for alleged drunkeness and/or disorderly behaviour, sometimes for reasons without cause. The officers would then drive them to the outskirts of the city at night in the winter, and abandon them, leaving them stranded in sub-zero temperatures.
The practice was known as taking Indigenous people for “starlight tours” and dates back to 1976. As of 2021, despite convictions for related offences, no Saskatoon police officer has been convicted specifically for having caused freezing deaths.” Berk Jodoin music

Donating Tribal Maps to underfunded schools – 2023, organized by Tribal Nations Maps

Tribal Nations Maps creates the most comprehensive at-contact and reservation Native American and First Nations maps in existence. Our maps use both self-described Tribal names, as well as those that Tribes are commonly know by. Over the past 25 years, we have traveled, researched and visited elders, historians, academics and cultural department personnel to acquire the 4,500 names that we show across the Western Hemisphere.

Jomac “Mac” Suazo co-founder and bassist of XIT RIP

Jomac “Mac” Suazo co-founder and bassist of XIT RIP

One of the greats of Indigenous Rock has sadly moved on, co-founder and bassist of XIT, Jomac “Mac” Suazo (Taos Pueblo) passed on at his home on Christmas Eve.
Jomac “Mac” Suazo was the bass player of the bands;  Lincoln St. Exit, XIT and later, eXit with The Ox Boyz. Suazo became most legendary for his work with XIT whose music still resonates among Indigenous peoples throughout the country. XIT, which stood for Crossing of Indian Tribes, was originally formed as Lincoln Street Exit in the early 1970s at Valley High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Suazo, along with A. Michael Martinez, Lee Herrerra, and R. C. Gariss were then joined by Tom Bee and released several groundbreaking albums. Their debut recording, “Plight of the Redman,” was released in 1972 on Motown Records. It was a concept album chronicling the changes in Native American life since the arrival of Columbus.  The recording was the first of its kind to combine traditional and electric instrumentation along with chanting and Native dialogue. Their followup, “Silent Warrior” was their second release on the label in 1973 in which Suazo co-wrote two of the songs. The album came at the height of the Wounded Knee takeover in South Dakota, and XIT quickly became labeled by the media as the musical ambassadors of the American Indian Movement.
In 1999, XIT performed at the Second Annual Native American Music Awards and were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
