Episode 28-Native American Prisoners of War-The History of Genocide by Aaron Huey

Listen to this show here.

Carlita focuses on what needs to be remembered by America on this day (Thanks Giving), the true first American People, the Native Americans. Just three centuries ago, there were 8 million Sioux Native Americans, today there are only one hundred and fifty thousand, they are still living under repression on the “Reservation” on the Black Hills of Lakotah. Carlita introduces the photography of Aaron Huey http://www.aaronhuey.com, who worked with the Sioux people of Lakotah, to tell their story. Aaron Huey’s effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakotah  people is equal to the living conditions of the Haitian People. After five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson in this bold, courageous talk.

Aaron Huey is a photographer for National Geographic Adventure and National Geographic Traveler magazines. His stories from Afghanistan, Haiti, Mali, Siberia, Yemen and French Polynesia (to name just a few) on subjects as diverse as the Afghan drug war and the underwater photography of sharks, can be found in The New Yorker, National Geographic and The New York Times.

Carlita gives special thanks for her first very generous podcast donation. Carlita was invited to a private preview of the documentary The Storm That Swept Mexico of which she introduces the auditory version of the  documentary, the visual material is unparalleled and must be seen as it contains amazing film and photographic archives used along with interviews with veteran zapatistas’ who were over a hundred years old at the time of shooting the documentary, therefore their stories could give first hand witness accounts of the Mexican Revolution that they were a part of. The Storm That Swept Mexico is an impressively concise and detailed political documentary, that took ten years to make, produced by Raymond Talles, who’s own grandfather fought alongside Villa, while his family were torn apart by opposing political views and the turmoil of a country at war. Raymond Telles is a veteran producer of many award-winning programs including The Fight in the Fields, the biography of Cesar Chavez, Inside the Body Trade, Children of the Night (Frontline), and Race is the Place. He has produced and directed programs for PBS, ABC, NBC, Discovery, and National Geographic. Telles has won numerous awards including Emmy Awards, the DuPont-Columbia Gold Baton, PBS Programming Awards for News and Current Affairs, The Ohio State Award, ALMA Award, top honors in the San Francisco, Chicago and New York Film Festivals, as well as numerous other awards for his work in film and broadcast journalism
