Celebrate Native art and culture with Eighth Generation's Inspired Natives Artists. Learn why supporting Native-designed products and art is crucial, and how your support fosters Native prosperity while combating cultural appropriation. Panelists: Founder of OXDX, Jared Yazzie (Navajo/Diné) is a self-taught graphic artist, entrepreneur, and designer known for his bold, graphic style that incorporates vibrant Diné motifs with messages of Native empowerment. Through his bold art and products, both with Eighth Generation and through his own brand OXDX, Jared works to increase awareness of Indigenous issues while simultaneously showcasing the beauty of Native culture. Sarah Agaton Howes is an Anishinaabe-Ojibwe artist, teacher, and community organizer from Fond du Lac Reservation in Minnesota. Widely known for her handmade regalia and moccasins featuring Ojibwe floral designs, Sarah has grown from selling handmade earrings to becoming one of Eighth Generation's best-selling artists in addition to having her own line of apparel, accessories, and more through her nationally-recognized brand, Heart Berry. Michelle Lowden is the proud founder and owner of Milo Creations, which has grown in her years as an artist with Eighth Generation from hand-painted Pueblo jewelry to diving into the world of graphic art. Additionally, she now creates mental health content for social media, specifically designed to support the Indigenous community on their healing journey. An Inspired Natives® Collaborator since 2014, she is the first arts entrepreneur to participate Eighth Generation's Inspired Natives® Project. Nationally-recognized Plains artist John Isaiah Pepion (Piikani/Blackfeet) is an artist and educator living and working in Montana. His instantly-recognizable blend of traditional ledger art and contemporary motifs explores issues of modernity, symbols of Indigeneity, and cultural stories. John's most recent accolades include several gallery shows as well as being the poster artist for Ken Burns' PBS documentary, “The American Buffalo”. Louie Gong (Nooksack) (M.Ed.), founder of Eighth Generation, is a highly influential Coast Salish artist, activist, and social entrepreneur with a knack for bringing people together. In 2008, he founded the iconic lifestyle brand Eighth Generation — the first Native-owned company to produce wool blankets — triggering a movement that has diverted millions of dollars from non-Native corporations to a new generation of Native-owned businesses and artists. By successfully disrupting a colonial system and then selling Eighth Generation to the Snoqualmie Tribe, the creative force completed the blueprint for how to merge values and business — something he refers to as the “Native American Dream.” The Inspired Natives® Project, launched by Louie Gong in May 2014, is both a business initiative and an educational initiative. By collaborating with select arts entrepreneurs to manufacture products under the Eighth Generation brand, we hope to expand the Eighth Generation brand's regional appeal while simultaneously increasing the arts entrepreneurs' capacity and educating the public about the tangible costs of cultural appropriation. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Eighth Generation.

The conversation explores the impact of algorithms on our lives, from social media platforms to personal decision-making. It delves into the definition of algorithms and their role in recommendation systems. The discussion highlights the tension between convenience and personalization, as well as the desire for serendipity and authenticity. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by creators in adapting to algorithmic feeds and the importance of maintaining authenticity. The concept of audience capture and the pressure to conform to trending topics is explored, along with the value of slowing down and exploring unique ideas. The conversation concludes with a discussion on building context and creating meaningful connections through platforms like newsletters. Kyle Chayka discusses the importance of creating different containers and brands for his editorial projects, rather than trying to pack everything under his own name. He emphasizes the value of context and how it helps readers and consumers relate to a product. He also highlights the fragility of relying on one person to carry the weight of an audience and the need to build teams and develop a voice as an entity. Chayka explores the negative effects of algorithmic influence on culture and the lack of agency users have in interacting with these platforms. He advocates for prioritizing meaningful cultural experiences and decoupling cultural value from attention and engagement.Key TakeawaysAlgorithms play a significant role in shaping our online experiences, from social media platforms to recommendation systems.There is a tension between convenience and personalization, as algorithms often prioritize familiarity and predictability over serendipity and discovery.Creators face pressure to conform to algorithmic feeds, which can lead to homogenization and a loss of authenticity.Taking a break from algorithmic platforms can provide an opportunity to slow down, explore unique ideas, and cultivate personal interests.Building context and creating meaningful connections through platforms like newsletters can offer a more authentic and fulfilling creative experience. Creating different containers and brands for editorial projects helps establish identity and context for readers and consumers.Relying on one person to carry the weight of an audience is unsustainable, and building teams and developing a voice as an entity is crucial.Algorithmic influence on culture can be detrimental, and users have limited agency in interacting with these platforms.Prioritizing meaningful cultural experiences and decoupling cultural value from attention and engagement is important.Show LinksVisit Kyle Chayka Website and Check his book 'Filterworld'Connect with Kyle Chayka on Instagram and TwitterConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterPast guests on The Long Game podcast include: Morgan Brown (Shopify), Ryan Law (Animalz), Dan Shure (Evolving SEO), Kaleigh Moore (freelancer), Eric Siu (Clickflow), Peep Laja (CXL), Chelsea Castle (Chili Piper), Tracey Wallace (Klaviyo), Tim Soulo (Ahrefs), Ryan McReady (Reforge), and many more.Some interviews you might enjoy and learn from:Actionable Tips and Secrets to SEO Strategy with Dan Shure (Evolving SEO)Building Competitive Marketing Content with Sam Chapman (Aprimo)How to Build the Right Data Workflow with Blake Burch (Shipyard)Data-Driven Thought Leadership with Alicia Johnston (Sprout Social)Purpose-Driven Leadership & Building a Content Team with Ty Magnin (UiPath)Also, check out our Kitchen Side series where we take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made at our agency:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean SEOShould You Hire Writers or Subject Matter Experts?How Do Growth and Content Overlap?Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/

The etrog is a curious fruit. The Bible commands its readers: “And you shall take for yourselves on the first day beautiful tree-fruit (peri etz hadar), palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.” Native to the Far East and adapted to the culture of the eastern Mediterranean, the rituals of the etrog are among the very few that are dependent upon a particular environment for growth. In their wanderings across the globe, the etrog has remained part of Jews' practices and of the annual rhythms of the Jewish harvest festival, Sukkot, the Feast of Booths.  This book is a lovely collection, both intellectually and visually, covering everything from the sale of etrog throughout its history to visual representations, medical remedies and much more. This interview is with Joshua Teplitsky, Jordan Katz, and Jonathan Surnow. Matthew Miller is a graduate of Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah. He studied Jewish Studies and Linguistics at McGill for his BA and completed an MA in Hebrew Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London.
