Today we feature a conversation with Michael Patrick “White Eagle” O’Connor, native American artist and Earth activist.

In this podcast and the next we interview two Native Americans from the Siouxland region of the U.S. I (Lee) am excited about this. Here’s why! As Michael White Eagle O’Connor says in this interview, we are in the 7th Generation, according to a prophecy of Black Elk and other Native Americans. The 7th Generation is the time of healing. It’s a time when genuine partnerships develop among non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples. These two interviews push aside any residual thoughts in our minds that Indigenous peoples are peoples of the past or are fading into the past. No! The spiritual activism and perspectives of traditional Indigenous peoples lead the way for the OneEarth living we espouse on our podcasts. Do stay with us for this important opportunity to hear a 48 year old social worker and Native American in Sioux City, Iowa, speak to how he follows his spiritual path in addressing the issues of today.

Michael White Eagle O’Conner speaks so transparently about himself, his struggle to be on his spiritual path, his deep relationship with the energy of Earth, his work with Native American youth, and his readiness for partnership with non-Indigenous people who seek it authentically.

By 2030, it’s essential that we change the way food is grown if we are to keep the planet livable. In his early 30s, Steven Cornett understands the urgency and the daunting scale of such change. Helping to change our current large scale degenerative food system to a small scale regenerative agriculture system will have a major influence over the future of our world and society.

In episode 04/19, banker Pat Trahan

speaks about growth economics, the Great Recession of 2008-09, Wall Street, and investing in our neighborhood. His perspective differs from many in the banking world. Pat says: “I think Jubilee is the antidote to the growth-for-the-sake-of-growth model where all the lines in all the graphs move only up and to the right. My reading of the Jubilee passages is that the means of production should be redistributed and democratized on occasion. Our system only redistributes some of the fruit of production. Meanwhile, wealth and power become more and more concentrated.”

OneEarth Jubilee can now help you offset the carbon you put into the atmosphere.Here’s how. First, we calculate our carbon with the calculator online at www.carbonify.com. Then we donate the amount the calculator totals for us. We can donate it to Jubilee Economics Tree Fund because the two Jubilee Circles in Mexico and the one in San Diego all work with trusted groups that plant trees. Not that this is a perfect solution to putting CO2 into the air. Not by any means. When trees die, they, too, put CO2 into the air. But trees live a long time. And every day they live, they sequester carbon from the atmosphere and enrich the soil while putting out oxygen. The April newsletter, Jubileo, is an Earth Day edition and tells you more.
