This episode of It's The End of The World 
And I Feel Fine

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was made possible by contributions from

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

Watch as the suspect Ernest Hayes, 
who police say was avoiding arrest,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
throws Septa police officer Samuel Washington 
on the ground and pins him under a bench.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Police say he was wanted in connection with 
a Septa ticket scam,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when officer Washington stopped him,
this is what happened.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The chief says not a single Septa passenger
called for help,

"What would you guys do 
if you saw a cop getting beat up?"

but before we look at the riot porn 
from Mexico and Brazil,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'd like to pay tribute to Herman Wallace,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the badass freedom fighter who was locked up
in solitary confinement for 41 fuckin years

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for co-founding one of the 1st prison chapters
of the Black Panthers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even though Wallace was dying of liver cancer,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the motherfuckin' state would not let 
this valiant brother out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That is, until the judge granted him freedom
just days before his death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wallace's case is not unique,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as dozens of political prisoners

fired upon and murdered hundreds of protesters

Teachers have been on strike since august

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

to spend money on other useless shit.

once again bringing international attention
to this tactic of tactics.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ <i>Hedges</i> ] Y'know, I have been following that,
because the brazilian papers have interviewed me,

and a lot of people in brazil

There are people who confuse...
between beign a gangster and being a warrior.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's a very big difference between the two.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's a line that divides the two.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The warrior society is a movement

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that came to, in the late 60's, early 70's,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
kinda coincides with the start of the 
American Indian Movement,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and also the rights movements that were going on during 1960's,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Civil Rights movement and so on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the warrior movement just simply
a rekindling of the duties and responsibilities

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of men and women in traditional societies,
and the roles & duties in defense of their people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's part of the Longhouse, 
the Longhouse people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Great Law, Gayanashagowa, 
all governs the actions of this movement.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are some, I feel that they take the movement,
they try and separate it from the Longhouse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and try to separate it from that, try to have it, something that's gonna be self-regulating,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it doesn't work that way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The warrior movement is part of the Longhouse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Longhouse controls the warrior movement.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the warriors, there's no membership criteria,


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
except being Ongweoweh, meaning native,
being Indigenous,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and having Gayanashagowa in your heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Theres the warrior flag that you see from 1990
with the Mohawk on it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's one flag,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the original Mohawk flag has a man and a 
woman, this is what it's supposed to be right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not a male-dominated movement.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It' the women who have a big part 
to play in this movement.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you hear the media talk about "well the warriors are hiding behind the women."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
First of all, you don't tell a Mohawk woman what 
to do, y'know, she won't take it from you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She'll do what she wants to do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that's what... we've known that, we had that wisdom to say that women have their place,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they have a right to do what they're doing,
and have a right to take part in everything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So then in 1990 when you seen the warriors there, and the women were approaching the police,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tellin them y'know that they have to move, 
you have to go,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what theyre doing is... they're not... 
the men are not hiding behind the women.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The women are actually protecting our adversaries,
they're protecting them from us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's their duty and their role, 
to first put that olive branch, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bring out that laurel, here, lets discuss this,
let's negotiate,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they refused to negotiate with us,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so then, y'know, the final step is the women,
the women pull back and the men take over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is the thing, it's a big decision to make.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the traditional world, the way we look at it as Kanien’kehá:ka people, which is Mohawk,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Kanien’kehá:ka people, it's the women who are in charge of warfare,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's the women who call the shots, it's the women
who decide that men will go to war,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not men, it's not a male decision.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Women will say to the men "<i>now you can go to war,
i'll bury the fire, put out the flames,</i>

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
<i> I put out the hearth, you can't come home to the hearth, there's nothign here,</i>

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"<i>you have to go out and fight</i>"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's a woman's decision.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ <i>STIMULATOR</i> ] And can you explain 
what the Longhouse is?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ <i>CLIFTON</i> ] OK the Longhouse is, it's basically 
what we call ourselves,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
um, it's based on a traditional dwelling
that we used to live in,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is an elongated family dwelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
... a matrilocal dwelling, where the clan would live.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In our society, our lineage and descent 
goes through the women,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it would be the woman's, the matriarch's house,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is long, with many fires for different families,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you have a nuclear family of a mother, a father
or husband, and their child,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they'd be a family, and each of these families
would share a hearth with another one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it'd be an elongated house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the Confederacy of Iroquois Nations

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we would call it our Haudenosaunee in Mohawk,
or Onandaga as Haudenosaunee,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which literally means The People of The Longhouse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is a symbol of what we use 
as a symbol of our people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you look on the spiritual and political end of it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Longhouse is the structure that was used
to meet and have ceremonies in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So our political structures would be 
in the Longhouse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and our religious ceremonies would be
in the Longhouse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you hear the pan term "Longhouse",
Longhouse people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you hear Iroquois people saying this often.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ <i>STIMULATOR</i> ] I've heard peeps say that 
there's similarities

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between anarchists and some traditional cultures,
what the fuck?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, as anarchists I think it's a natural thing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for Haudenosaunee people to be anarchists.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I always liked the, one of the quotes, I don't know
what his name was,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
maybe you could find it and research, he's a Jesuit,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who wrote about Haudenosaunee people,
and Mohawks in particular,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I love what he said when he said

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"<i>Each and every one of them are sovereign 
unto themselves,</i>

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
<i>they follow no one 
and they take orders from no one.</i>"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that, to me, speaks volumes 
about being an anarchist,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are sovereign unto yourself,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you know, you have no king, 
you have no masters.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Our people, historically, did what they wanted, 
when they wanted and how they wanted,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
both the men and the women.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ <i>STIMULATOR</i> ] Thanks Clifton.

Indigenous struggles in Turtle Island.

It just fills my fucking heart with hot sauce

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
knowing that you all care more than just about 
riot porn and burning cops.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
