 and great to have you back once again let's go back in history to the year 1979 and we're talking about something that has to do with a Hollywood walk of um Hollywood um well it's a walk of fame I wonder why they give it that name anyway um if you want to have a star in Hollywood it takes a lot of years of you know putting in your you know skills and talent and and you know dedication a lot of people have you know been in the industry for many many years and still don't have their star in the Hollywood walk but there's a guy called Jay Silverhills who in 1979 um a Mohawk actor became the first Native American to have a star commemorated in the Hollywood walk of fame he was an indigenous Canadian actor and an athlete and it was well known for his role as Tonto if you if you anyone of you saw the movie Lone Ranger um he was Tonto in the Lone Ranger he has a star on the walk of fame at 6538 Hollywood Boulevard um and um you know he was you know like I said the very first the Americans first of all in the arts honored Silverhills with their life achievement award just before this star was given to him he excelled in athletics most notably in La Crosse and of course before living home to travel around North America Silverhills was one of among the first players chosen to play for the Toronto uh Tecumseh I think that's how it's pronounced um he also suffered a stroke in 1976 and was cremated at Chapel of the Pines Cemetery and his also his ashes were returned to the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario Canada but in 1979 um after of course he had had a stroke he was the first Native American indigenous Canadian actor of course who got his star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame interesting Jay Silverhills I really love what we talk about first people who just blaze trails and show people that you know this is possible sad that this happened about two years after he passed right about three years about three years after he passed so so sad one I read stories in history about people fighting for something or working hard you know recently I've been going on a literary journey exploring African women in history who fought passionately for their countries and for freedom and all of that and it's so sad that I saw the similar tread of them fighting for something and then dying before that thing came to pass talking about Queens in Mozambique in Angola Queen and Zynga and at the Sosa things these things were important schools well you know also relating to Jay Silverhills he's worked so hard he's done amazing things in his country representing and then he was celebrated after he passed reminds me of a song by Pateranke and it's recently released talking about how people need to be celebrated while they're alive and not you know when they're passed and then you go and say oh he was he was fantastic he was this or when you when you don't have them anymore so yes we need to celebrate people while they are alive well um when your time is up your time is up you know whenever you whenever you get that star the Hollywood Walk of Fame or you know get the celebration um you know it's life you know and it's it's a human nature yeah there's people who currently you know who are still alive and already still have their stars um on a Hollywood Boulevard um so I think his case is just one of those I'm not talking about the star now like just generally appreciating people in your life yeah I'm sure that he well you know I I wasn't then 79 you know but I'm sure that he definitely was celebrated there some of the movies that he was in that are still you know classic still today so recent piece to Jay Silverhills interesting all right so I'm going back to the year 2012 it's just a recent history July the 21st 2012 and in this day in history um a Turkish American explorer adventurer his name is Eden Erich he was the first man to circumnavigate the globe solo by using human power the story of Eden Erich is very interesting because he circumnavigated the world by rowing by kayaking by hiking by cycling from pier to pier in Bodega Bay California USA this his journey of circumnavigating the globe lasted five years 11 days 12 hours and 22 minutes he began this journey in the year 2007 10th of July 2007 and he ended on the 21st of July 2012 he cycled um cycled across three continents North America Australia and Africa he rode three oceans the Pacific the Indian and the Atlantic Ocean and it's just amazing you know listening to him you know when he just talked about his experience saying you know the challenge for him was basically keeping his mind in check being mentally fit because it wasn't easy do you know what it means to circumnavigate the globe and to just row across oceans it's seen no one just rowing and yet he won the Guinness World Record for this the first human-powered circumnavigation just amazing people breaking barriers and challenging themselves to do things absolutely well in societies where you know they they are not dealing with where problems like hunger you know you would find these but but also for me also the this is also um you know a picture for me of truly living uh your life yes and and being able to chase your dreams actually yeah you know and but but also realizing that life doesn't exist in just one city or in one place you know it exists in many other places i'm not sure what countries he passed through in Africa but um you know i'm sure also that it probably was his first time in many of these continents and he was able to go all you know all the way took him five years but he was able to achieve it and that for me is truly living um and traveling and experiencing different cultures experiencing different um the climate experiencing different people you know entirely from what you're used to there are people who have never left the city that they were born you know and they're you know modern 40 50 years they're still in that same place um so well congratulations to him um i i also you know i've heard of a particular lady who tried something similar um and didn't make it back uh she she's on record one of those planes when we when we heard about the mh370 uh that disappeared um so there's a time that i did a little reading on planes that have disappeared and never been you know heard of again i think it's about a woman who tried to do the same circumnavigation across the world and just never came back you know plane was never found um she's you know gone basically and that that's a long time ago but he was successful and so congratulations to him and um let's let's see what more we can achieve absolutely we'll take a break here and return to discuss our first big story all the papers are talking about it it's about sunday moho what exactly you know is the reality you know the facts behind that arrest the same important number kind of people are still asking the government of the uk still asking what are the facts so you know questions really and that we need to get answers to uh join us for that conversation after this break
