• The State of Things - The American Indian Experience
  The American Indian Experience "The State of Things" WUNC-FM, November 10, 2010. You may know that millions of natives were already in North America when Columbus "discovered" the New World, but you may not know that American Indian history is a story of a complicated and diverse people with cultures and societies more sophisticated than the European settlers ever knew. Host Frank Stasio honors National American Indian Heritage Month with Brandi Brooks, program coordinator for the American Indian Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Theda Perdue, professor of Southern Culture at UNC-Chapel Hill and co-author of the book "North American Indians: A Very Short Introduction" (Oxford University Press/2010).
• How One Chief Justice Used The Church To Dispossess Natives From Their Land
  WUNC, The State of Things, Dana Terry and Frank Stasio, 12/4/2018 Immigration attorney George Pappas traces the impact of religious doctrine on land rights in his new book “The Literary and Legal Genealogy of Native American Dispossession: The Marshall Trilogy Cases” (Routledge/2017). Pappas begins his analysis in the 1400s when the pope gave the kings of Spain and Portugal the right to invade, capture and subdue any pagans who were considered enemies of Christ. Early settlers were allowed to enslave them and take dominion over their land. This religious directive became the Doctrine of Discovery accepted as law by the Europeans that colonized America. This doctrine was later referred to in multiple legal rulings proceeded over by Supreme Court Chief Justice John James Marshall to dispossess Native Americans from their land. Pappas talks to Frank Stasio about the three central rulings that govern Native American land rights and why he believes they are so problematic. They are also joined by Janelle Adair. She's a Cherokee storyteller and a member of the United Keetoowah Band Cherokee Indians of Oklahoma. She shares stories of how being forced from their land resulted in the massive loss of language, culture, and cultural connection.
