| 09 Sep 2024 | Rivers Are Alive: Protecting Water and Culture from Environmental Displacement with Impirita Samani | 00:10:42 | |
What if rivers were more than just water—they were living beings with spirit, memory, and life? In this episode, Frank Oscar Weaver speaks with Impirita Samani, an Indigenous Ashaninka leader from Peru, about her people's deep connection to rivers and the devastating impact of illegal mining. "We treat the river as a living person, even though it may seem invisible, it is always present." – Impirita Samani Impirita shares how environmental destruction not only pollutes their sacred waters but displaces Indigenous communities, severing cultural and spiritual ties to the land. Learn how we can reconnect with rivers, not as guardians, but as children of the Earth, and take steps to protect these vital sources of life. Impirita is sharing the beautiful Ikaro Ashaninka song “TSIROWANKO”, which pays homage to the magical bird Tsirotsi (Cacicus Cela). This bird is a spiritual guide in the Amazon, imitating the songs of the jungle and carrying messages from PAWA, the creator of the universe. This song symbolizes the resilience of Ashaninka culture, the power of the feminine, and the deep bond with the natural world. Just as “TSIROWANKO” leads us to the heart of the Amazon, our episode delves into the threats Indigenous communities face from environmental destruction and cultural displacement, and how we can unite to protect the sacred rivers and lands.

| 14 Oct 2024 | Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Defending the Earth and the Sacred | 00:07:23 | |
What if the answers to the climate crisis are here? In this special Indigenous Peoples’ Day episode, host Frank Oscar Weaver speaks with Indigenous leaders from across the world who are on the front lines of the fight to protect their lands and our planet. Impirita, an Indigenous leader from Peru, shares the harsh reality her community faces as industrial mining contaminates rivers that have provided life and sustenance for generations. “All these rivers are contaminated, not just by sewage, but also by mining activities,” – Impirita Frank reflects on the wisdom of Indigenous teachings, like those of Dr. Don Dexter from the Klamath Tribes, who explains how removing Indigenous people from their lands disrupts a natural cycle that keeps ecosystems in balance. Beth Tupara-Katene from Aotearoa (New Zealand) reminds us of the deep responsibility of reciprocity between people and nature, and the urgent need to protect sacred lands. From the ancient mounds of the Tocobaga tribe in Florida, believed to protect the region from hurricanes, to the laws that silence the words "climate change," this episode explores the modern challenges Indigenous communities face. These storms and disasters are not merely natural—they are #UnnaturalDisasters, fueled by climate pollution.

| 30 Oct 2021 | What Is Overshoot Day? How Can You Stop It? Overshoot Day with Sháán díín Cedar | 00:02:22 | |
July 29th came in just like another day
People went through their daily lives, like just another day...
But after 155 days in 2021, we have reached Earth Overshoot day
(a day that marks the moment in time when demand for earth’s ecological resources exceeds what the planet can regenerate.)
And each year, this day comes in earlier and earlier...
Its halfway through the year, and humans have already surpassed what global resources can sustain in a single year
The lumber we can sustainably harvest, the fisheries we fish, the ore we mine, the pollution we put in our waters...
Our planet needs a break…
Here’s how we can make a difference
Think about our demand for stuff. Is it necessary? Is it resource intensive? Can we shift your demand toward the “reuse” economy?
Advocate for initiatives that your employer can take. Ask: Do we have a sustainability and equity commitment and are we actively executing on it? How do we source our products? Are there alternatives? How are we tracking and reducing our carbon footprint?
Show up at the ballot box. Look up your local, state, and federal leadership and put the pressure on. Support and elect leadership strong on climate and environmental justice.
Call, email, tag, tweet at your leaders. They see these messages. Have a relationship with your leaders and demand actions. Hold them accountable, but also give praise where praise is due.
Engage at whatever level you can manage This translates to pushing the overshoot date back and ultimately reestablishing ecosystem balance.
Our planet needs us.

I do have a ask for you. The Covid epidemic has underlined the fact that low income communities get the brunt of all crisis impacts. American Indian tribes, and specifically the Navajo Nation, have been some of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis. On a per capita basis, the Navajo Nation is #3 right behind NY & NJ in terms cases and deaths.

Today is a very special episode with Sky Wildcat from The Cherokee Nation, I meet Sky last year on UNITY's conference in Orlando, as Sky joined myself and other Earth Ambassadors to do some Eco Action cleaning a local spot of litter, and we organized, and did a presentation on learning to culturally care for the environment and water conservation.
In this episode, we talk about her experience riding her bicycle on the "Remember the Removal Bike Ride" a 950 miles journey of self-discovery that goes along the same path that around 180 years was used for the forced removal of her ancestors.
We discuss her most professional accomplishments so far being an advocate for native students, and how she believes deeply in the power of education for indigenous youth. Stay tuned as Sky also shares how remembering traditions can help us pull that through these difficult times.

| 28 Apr 2021 | "Help Us Save Our Community" - A request from Osmar Valenzuela in Paraguay | 00:04:02 | |
Do you wanna help the environment, and at the same time support the indigenous people of Paraguay? This weekend I got a message from my friend Osmar Valenzuela. He told me the story on how young members of the indigenous communities in Amambay, are being forced to abandoned their tribal lands and go into the cities in search of jobs. Osmar has an idea, to start an organization named “The way of the earth can provide for us ” an association made of leaders from 10 different communities to help promote their agricultural goods, and having the communities be self sustaining, that way they can still continue passing on the values, history, arts, culture of the Pai Tavytera to the next generation. The association will keep protecting the environment by practicing sustainable agriculture practices and protecting medical plants and the knowledge on how to use them. Can you help us keep the Pai Tavytera culture alive and help them protect their enviroment? Any donation would be appreciated it. Send me a an email if you can help frankoweaver @ gmail . com

Happy to introduce my friend Arjho from the Blaan Indigenous community of the Philippines, She’s a champion for climate change, community involvement, and is an international activist in indigenous peoples' rights. If you're passionate about indigenous people's rights and want to create change towards more sustainable future, you going to love our conversation. We talked 2 years to the day after meeting each other during the Climate Reality training, from what she called her "second home," Atlanta, Ga, and we talked about what we learned during our training to fight the climate crisis. Our conversation was just a few days before the crime that shook the country. As Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, who we both saw in an interfaith mass in the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, MLK old church, said "The lives of those who were killed here in Atlanta this week say something to us: All of us must come together, Black, white, brown, Asian, native, gay & straight. It's time to get it right, right here & right now, America" #StopAsianHate

| 01 Oct 2023 | Becoming Earth’s Guardian: Learn, Connect, and Champion Nature | 00:04:21 | |
Let's hear about the mysterious Florida Bigfoot, believed to be the revered guardian of Florida's wildlife. Journey with us deeper, as we unravel ways to truly honor and connect with Mother Earth. Beginning by paying homage to the ancestral lands under our feet and appreciating the people they've seen. Grasp the depth of wisdom urging us to not just give back what we receive from nature but to recognize the immense energy she sacrifices for us. Hear with your heart an poem to you connect with nature... and in these critical times when our planet and our Florida waters are threaten by multiple challenges, listen to those who are speaking up, and be inspired to also become an Earth Guardian. Sign the petition: https://www.floridarighttocleanwater.org/ 🌏 "Life" poem written and performed by Sumaya Quitugua Shingle Creek words of support by Robert Rosa and Chris Castillo Bigfoot, also known as the Swamp cabbage man, Mayaka skunk, and Florida skunk ape, is a mysterious yet benevolent creature believed to reside in the Florida swamps, often helping other animals in need. One of the key environmental concerns highlighted in the episode is the potential impact of radioactive mining waste. The state of Florida has recently signed a bill allowing roads to be made with this waste, despite the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating that it is potentially linked to cancer and describing it as radioactive. This decision raises concerns about the long-term effects on the environment and human health. The runoff from these roads could further pollute the water that flows into lakes and eventually into the Gulf, exacerbating the already existing issue of water pollution. Another pressing issue discussed in the episode is the importance of preserving wetlands. Wetlands play a crucial role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for a diverse range of species. However, the ongoing development in Florida is threatening these wetlands. The loss of wetlands not only disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem but also contributes to increased flooding in the area. The wetlands act as natural buffers, absorbing excess water during heavy rainfall. Without them, the risk of flooding becomes even greater. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-epa-clean-water-act/ The episode also highlights the alarming record number of manatee deaths. Manatees, beloved marine mammals, are suffering due to the pollution and degradation of their habitat. This serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. The episode concludes with a powerful message, urging listeners to treat Mother Earth with kindness and love, and to give more then we receive, as we all have a responsibility to honor and give back to the power that gave us life.

| 01 Aug 2024 | Giving Back to the Earth: The Significance of Pachamama Day | 00:06:44 | |
We explore the tradition of Pachamama Day, celebrated on August 1st in Latin America. This day, originating from the Andean communities of South America, is dedicated to honoring Pachamama, the goddess of fertility and the earth. Growing up, Pachamama Day was one of my favorite holidays, a time to slow down and enjoy traditional drinks like Yerba mate drink of terere made with seven medicinal herbs and Carrulim, a Paraguayan beverage made from Caña, Ruda, and Limón.
