Racism, violence rises in towns bordering American Indian reservations
Two American Indian advocates spoke out recently on a national radio show against racism on towns that border American Indian reservations where murder, beatings, and other assaults have been documented.
Turtle Island Project founder/director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard and Art Neskahi, director of Southwest Intertribal Voice in Cortez, NM were the guests of show host/producer Harlan McKosato on Native America Calling.

Turtle Island Project founder/director Rev. Lynn Hubbard was recent guest (August 28, 2007) on the national Native America Calling radio show to talk about “Bordertown Racism” along with Art Neskahi, director of Southwest Intertribal Voice in Cortez, NM
The Turtle Island Project thanks the Cortez Journal (John R. Crane) and the Navajo Times (Donovan Quintero) newspapers because our video includes newspaper photos of the 2007 Walk for Peace and Justice organized by Art Neskahi. A map of Michigan Indian tribes was created by Edwards Outdoor Marketing.
Harlan McKosato is the host/producer.

McKosato is a member of the Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma.
The show is produced at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and airs Monday through Friday at 1 p.m. EST.
Topic: Bordertown Racism.
The ongoing violence, hate crimes and other discriminatory actions toward Native people in reservation and village bordertowns is cresting.
But instead of fighting back with an eye-for-an-eye attitude, tribal members are seeking healing through promotion of racial tolerance and understanding.
How are false stereotypes fostering resentment of Native people, and how do Native people fight back without causing an “Indian Uprising?”
Guests are Art Neskahi of the Navajo Nation, organizer of the upcoming Walk for Peace and Justice, and Rev. Lynn Hubbard of the Eden on the Bay Lutheran Church.
