Ep. 7 This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we are exploring an important perspective from the Seneca Nation on the ongoing struggles for justice and equitable treatment, issues deeply rooted in historical injustices. Pastor George sits down with Samantha Nephew to discuss Native American affairs in Western New York, including the recent dispute between New York State and the Seneca Nation over casino revenue sharing. Samantha is an active member of the Seneca Nation of Indians (Deer Clan) serving as an advocate for health equity in Western New York. Instagram @healthcareeducation Generational Trauma: Its Legacy and Impact The episode opens by addressing the generational trauma that deeply affects Indigenous communities. Samantha Nephew shares a powerful story of her great-grandmother, a Deer Clan member who was forced into a residential school. 🏫 She was punished for speaking her native language, underscoring how colonial systems sought to erase Indigenous identities. This trauma echoes through generations, showing up in mental health challenges and struggles to preserve culture. The importance of truth-telling for healing is emphasized throughout the episode, reminding us that confronting the past is crucial for moving toward reconciliation. 💬 🎰 Governance Disputes: The Seneca Nation vs. New York State The podcast also dives into the financial disputes between the Seneca Nation and New York State, specifically around the gaming compact that has fueled ongoing tension: The Issue: New York demanded revenue payments from the Seneca Nation’s casinos, which led to a financial freeze of the Seneca Nation’s bank accounts in early 2022. This action was seen by many as a modern form of colonial domination. 🏦 The Impact: The freeze disrupted the livelihoods of many Seneca Nation members and deepened mistrust. Pastor G from the podcast reflects, “No matter what you make out of that, it’ll never be a fair and equitable exchange for what was done to native people.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
