Join Ms. Corine Fairbanks, Lakota, as she interviews Mr. Marcus Lopez, is Co-Chair of Barbareno Chumash Council. Marcus is the senior producer of American Indian Airwaves/Coyote since 1988, a national news and documentary Indigenous organization. Tonight they discuss the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a document that recognizes Indigenous Peoples as human beings. “Human rights supersedes internationally all rights of States” Mr. Marcus Lopez discusses how the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples, can be implemented as a tool first in Native Communities in understanding Sovereignty and “Self Determination,” and then in turn, using this information to challenge current policy, codes and laws that have been historically challenging to Indigenous People. “Chumash people have been attacked, by I call them “white chiefs” or white anthropologists, certain different institutions, academia, the museums, all of them are telling us who is Chumash and who is not. That day is over with…The Barbareno Chumash Council is declaring to the world that we are going to express with no uncertain terms our right to be Indigenous, our right to be Chumash our RIGHT to be who we are. The methodology has been divisive. Individuals have made a living sucking the culture, sucking the lives, and the bones and everything of our culture, that’s to stop.” Show in 3 parts- (Please excuse the first 24 seconds of the show) For More Information on AIM SB www.aimsb.org More information on The Barbareno Chumash Council of Santa Barbara http://barbarenochumashcouncil.com/ Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UXJIWfJSCQ Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASm5gINco_4 Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZKN3DWcccY
