In this episode of We're Still Here, we delve into the multifaceted efforts of Indigenous communities to reclaim and revitalize their heritage. We begin by addressing recent controversial remarks from commentator Matt Walsh, examining how such dismissals of Native history perpetuate harmful narratives and undermine Indigenous experiences.Next, we celebrate the culinary renaissance led by Native chefs who are decolonizing food by reintroducing ancestral ingredients and traditional cooking methods. This movement not only preserves cultural identity but also promotes health and sustainability within Native communities.A highlight of this culinary resurgence is the American Indian College Fund's 2025 New York EATSS (Epicurean Award to Support Scholars) event, held on May 14 at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. Attendees enjoyed a rich tapestry of Indigenous cuisine, art, and music, including a performance by singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza .Finally, we turn our attention to Sacramento, where community activists are advocating for the renaming of streets that bear racial slurs. This initiative reflects a broader movement to confront and rectify historical injustices embedded in our public spaces, demonstrating that the journey toward equity and recognition extends beyond monuments to the very names that define our cities.Join us as we explore these stories of resistance, resilience, and the ongoing efforts to honor Indigenous heritage in contemporary society.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Donald Trump Administration is using the full force of the federal government to compel colleges and universities to do away with scholarships, recruiting, academic programs and any other initiatives that help Native students succeed. Schools risk losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding in addition to defending against investigations by the Department of Justice and other agencies. At least 50 schools are facing such investigations for what the U.S. Department of Education calls “race exclusionary” practices. We'll get a look at the sweeping changes the Trump Administration is bringing about and how Native education advocates are responding. GUESTS Cheryl Crazy Bull (Sicangu Lakota), president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund Carrie Billy (Diné), education consultant and former president and CEO of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium Zonnie Gorman (Diné), historian and daughter of Dr. Carl Gorman, one of the original Navajo Code Talkers

Following August's U.S. Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action, several states are rushing to rid their higher education institutions of recruitment and inclusion programs that benefit Native students. On top of that, the botched update to the FAFSA process has many families confused about their ability to pay for college in the coming academic year. Native Americans already have among the lowest college enrollment rates. Higher education advocates worry the confluence of factors might erase any recent educational attainment gains.

Can a woman really aspire to become CEO?   For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with Cheryl Crazy Bull, Wacinyanpi Win (They Depend on Her), a member of the Sicangu Lakota nation. Cheryl is President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund and is an advocate for self-determination focused on Native voice, philosophy, and traditions as the heart of the people's work in building prosperity for current and future generations. Cheryl shares advice for women to aspire to top roles: Know that women as leaders is not new. If we reach back to our cultures and histories, we'll see that women have always led. Leadership starts at home with family. Among the Lakotas and other tribes, your responsibility is to be a good relative. This includes respect and reciprocity where you give to and receive from others.  Believe in yourself. If we face feelings of impostor syndrome, we can fill ourselves with our belief in our own worthiness. For Cheryl, she told herself, “You can be that good. You can take your vision and apply it.” Be a learner and stay humble. This allows people to get close to you, see you as human and believe you will help them. Power is not bad. Power is about influence and the ability to allocate resources and move towards a vision of serving others.

Thank you for tuning in to our spooktacular Howloween special! It's a fun, exciting, and magical tale of tails- about a pair of young raccoon-type twin dogs living on Dogland. Although the story has some mild suspense and Halloween-adjacent fun, it is mostly fun and silly and meant to delight young listeners (age 4+) and old. It will lift your spirits and give 'em pumpkin to talk about! We wrote the song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank's Granny, aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!” We took story inspiration from A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady from the collection, The Green Forest Fairy Book (1920.) Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out! This episode's cover art is made by Hank using Canva! If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, give, share, and grow - to express gratitude.In light of the giving season, we're flipping the script! Instead of chatting with nonprofit thought leaders, we are highlighting the most touching stories of individuals who fiercely support nonprofits and their “why.”Because without supporters, nonprofits couldn't exist.During the 12-day series, Maria will be exploring topics surrounding: hardships, perseverance, fundraising, social media, and the importance and value of online community. In this episode, Maria is chatting with Dr. David Yarlott. He is an Apsaalooke (Crow) from Montana who grew up on a reservation and is a first-generation student and the first member of his family to earn a doctorate.

We're taking a little break this week, but we still put together this bonus episode to share fun jokes & ridiculous food puns as well as some more fun music from Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy. We also share a bit more about the famous Dogland saying, “We are all connected at our roots, and rooted in our connection.” It feels perfect to talk about connection at this time. We round out the episode with a talk about Native American Heritage Month and share a trailer from one of our favorite shows and a special song from their incredible composer. Stay past the jokes to hear the trailer for Coin Trick, https://www.cointrick.net/, a narrative series that follows 12-year-old Cassidy and the flute-playing mischief-maker Kokopelli on their adventures through a fantasy world based in Native American mythology. Coin Trick is a fellow member of Kids Listen- a great place to find wonderful family shows.

In our 10th episode Aaron James and Andrew Dickson welcome designer and apparel designer, the one and only Bob Smith to the Mt. Freelance podcast.  Like so many designers, Bob went to the Kinko's school of design, getting his start making band posters and fliers for the deli he worked at. This landed him a short stint at the Wieden+Kennedy studio before getting a job designing t-shirts at Nike in the late 1990s. He couldn't help but notice Nike was exclusively focused on performance.  So, he found an empty office, transformed it into a coach's office with the help of the Home Depot and filled it with vintage Nike apparel and his own designs. While his immediate superiors were annoyed he wasn't cranking out enough t-shirt designs, he eventually convinced the company to launch Nike Sportswear, an instant success that landed Nike on fashion runways and in stores like Barney's.  He shares that story with us! As well as how we came up with the idea of a Nike + Pendleton collaboration to benefit the American Indian College Fund, and why he left New Balance to create his own brand, Ore-Cal Sportswear.  Not only is Bob a great designer and storyteller, he's got loads of advice and insight into the creative process. Hear him explain why “a good idea is a good idea is a good idea”, how his rule of “complain for 10 minutes then shut up or do something” about changed his life, and why freelance is a series of micro-decisions.  But our favorite might be “just because you like making pies doesn't mean you should open a bakery.” That's exactly why Aaron and Andrew are freelance and started Mt. Freelance and aren't running our own agency.

Many thanks for tuning back in this week, y’all! We sure are happy to be here. This week on She Said, She Said we review The Irishman, Bikram (the person & new doc on Netflix), some dreamy and PLEASANT Christmas music (who knew there was such a thing?!), our (lack of) Thanksgiving celebrating this year, libraries as a source of social inequity, mittens for koalas, how playing cards can improve your thinking speed and memory, n More!

Canadian musician, film composer, and songwriter Robbie Robertson is probably best known as the lead guitarist in The Band. He’s written written a wide variety of music over the years, not just for The Band. On the release of both the score for The Irishman and his first solo record in years, Sinematic, Robertson talks us through several main events. This past September, he released Sinematic, his first solo album since 2011, where he said he was “leaning in a direction of noir.” Robertson describes his songwriting process as stumbling,and yet at the same time, he was also working on composing the music for Martin Scorsese‘s latest film, The Irishman. Scorsese specifically requested something that didn’t sound like film music, and the main theme contains harmonica and spacious guitars. Robertson then touches on the documentary “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band,” which is more or less a movie adaptation of Robertson’s 2016 autobiography, “Testimony: A Memoir.” He's now in the process of writing volume two of his memoir. If that's not enough, 2019 has also seen the 50th anniversary of the album The Band which was released with outtakes and alternate versions not heard before, plus the entire Woodstock set from 1969. Robertson talks us through all of these different balls he has had in the air, so to speak. - Caryn Havlik Also, Robertson's latest single, “Happy Holidays,” is just out, and all profits from the single will be donated to the American Indian College Fund:

It starts with acknowledging the Indigenous people on whose traditional land the institution exists. But making college a welcome place also includes the right training for faculty and staff and offering courses that include context from a Native perspective. Those are among the recommendations listed in a new report by the American Indian College Fund titled “Creating Visibility and Healthy Learning Environments for Native Americans in Higher Education.” The report was spurred by an incident when a member of a Colorado campus tour called police because two prospective Native students ‘looked suspicious.’

The stop and search of two Native American students at CSU prompted us to ask Cheryl Crazy Bull, the president of the American Indian College Fund, about other barriers Native students face on college campuses. Then, Brian Eason of the Associated Press checks in about the struggles of the state employee pension system. Also, why the president of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition opposes making child autopsy reports public. A few groups are in the early stages of deciding whether to step in and buy the Denver Post. And, Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan. Hogan died Sunday of cancer.
