STONE RIDGE, New York -- July 3, 2025 — " 'First Voices Radio' will have its final broadcast on Sunday, July 6, 2025. The program, which was founded in 1992 by #TiokasinGhosthorse (#CheyenneRiverLakota) has explored global topics and issues of critical importance to the preservation and protection of #MotherEarth presented in the voices and from the perspective of the original peoples of the world.

" 'First Voices Radio' has been airing weekly for the past 33 years and has most recently been heard on Sundays from 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Radio Kingston #WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM in Kingston, New York. The final episode will air on Radio Kingston and will stream live at https://radiokingston.org/.

" 'First Voices Radio' — 'formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio' — was the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S. With more than 1 million annual online hits to its website, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative
media is deleterious to the whole of humanity.

"The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of #ItazipcoMnicoujou and #Oglala. He is an author, activist and accomplished musician of the Lakota flute. #Tiokasin has been described as 'a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.' #LizHill (#RedLakeOjibwe) has been the show’s producer since 2012."

#OfeliaRivas, Tohono O'odham, speaks with #FirstVoicesRadio host #TiokasinGhosthorse, Lakota.

"Ofelia describes how the U.S. #BorderPatrol murdered her friend #RaymondMattia, #TohonoOodham,
at his home on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

"Ofelia shares how Ray's father was her spiritual mentor and taught her about O'odham ceremonies.

"'Raymond is my ceremony brother, and I have a lot of respect for him.'

"Ofelia describes the moments leading up to Ray's murder when about 25 U.S. Border Patrol trucks arrived. After murdering Raymond, Ofelia could hear the U.S. Border Patrol agents laughing about murdering him. The gunfire included two shots from the back, and U.S. Border Patrol agents bashed in Raymond's body after he was shot and dying."
