Among the 168 people killed in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City was Raymond Lee Johnson (Seminole Nation of Oklahoma). He was volunteering with the Older Native American Program at the time and was heavily involved in education and other issues important to Native people. Cherokee Ballard was a television news anchor and reporter who covered the aftermath and the subsequent trials. And FBI special agent Walter Lamar was on the scene that day helping rescue survivors. He was also part of the FBI's investigation into the bombing. We'll hear stories about how the bombing affected the city with one of the highest percentages of Native citizens in the nation.

Well somebody has to have it....On this episode we dive head first into a fascinating 15 part doc series all the episodes which are now available on Substack.  It's "First Word on Horror'.First Word on Horror is a fifteen-part documentary series that profiles five of the finest horror writers working today.   Across multiple episodes, each author discusses their life, their inspirations, their philosophies, and their writing techniques while reading one of their short stories. As fact and fiction blend, secrets are revealed and the delicate alchemy that turns human experience into creative expression begins to emerge.  The series is a love letter to writers of all ilk, to the primacy of the human experience, and to the simple act of reading a damned good story.   The authors profiled are New York Times bestsellers, multi-award winners, and cult favorites. In this first season, they are Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, Elizabeth Hand, Laird Barron, and Mariana Enriquez.   Through the authors' lives the series takes viewers from a harrowing Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska to the lurking terror of growing up under the Argentinian dictatorship; from the unbridled energy of the early DC punk scene to an ill-fated hunting expedition on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.  We talked with director and creator of the series Philip Gelatt about the genesis of this project and so very much more...

Exciting News! This is TMFSP's first published episode with SpectreVision Radio. I have joined the Podcast family featuring other great shows like, Greg and Dana Newkirk's The Haunted Objects Podcast and Mitch Horowitz's Extraordinary Evidence T H E S H O W It was so great to finally meet with R O D W I L L I A M S O N from Lodge Tales Podcast - one of my favourite shows. Rod speaks to fellow members of his Native American community about their strange experiences. The conversations are absolutely wonderful and give a great insight into what we have largely lost in our material-paradigm-focused, modern Western society. https://lodge-tales.podcastpage.io/ We talk about what it was like for Rod to grow up in the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, - one of the largest reservations in the US - with parents that understand about Otherworld...and others in the wider community who no longer remember their connections with these worlds. It was an honour to hear about Rod's experiences including talking owls, a shapeshifting cricket, Little People, the backward speak of Otherworld, a talking eagle speaking Blackfeet. He tells the terrifying story of the time he went down to the creek with his first cousin and her legs were pulled by an unknown force back beneath the waters. We discuss shapeshifting in general, how we might relate to Spirits and how we feel about the West reawakening to these ways of seeing the world.

Helen Augare Carlson and Dylan DesRosier are leaders, community builders, and proud members of the Blackfeet Nation. Helen, the Chair of the Piikani Studies Division at Blackfeet Community College, has dedicated over two decades to education, cultural preservation, and building pathways for future generations. Dylan, the Blackfeet Program Manager with The Nature Conservancy, brings a wealth of experience in conservation work rooted in respect for Indigenous knowledge and long-term community collaboration. In addition to their official roles, they both wear many hats when it comes to serving their communities—mentoring youth, engaging in policy discussions, telling stories, and working on grassroots initiatives that strengthen cultural and environmental resilience. In this episode, we explore the profound relationships between land, language, and stewardship. Helen shares the moving story behind her Blackfoot name, Dylan reflects on his time working in Glacier National Park and how it shaped his conservation approach, and we dig into the groundbreaking Chief Mountain Initiative—an effort that weaves together conservation, education, and cultural revitalization. We also discuss the evolving role of conservation organizations, TNC's comprehensive approach to supporting Blackfeet initiatives, the importance of holistic thinking, and why Indigenous leadership is crucial for the future of land stewardship. As usual, we wrap up with some incredible book recommendations that will deepen your understanding of these topics long after the episode ends. This conversation is rich with wisdom, humor, and insight, and Helen and Dylan make quite a team, bringing their unique expertise and shared passion for their community to this important discussion.

There is something magical about the night sky and the winter woods; a place of dreams and possibility; a place of rest and restoration.In today's episode of Our Mindful Nature, nature field recordist Nick McMahan shares a dreamscape from Glacier National Park. Not quite a guided meditation, not quite a sleep-story, but rather a meditative experience. A connection to both land and self. Perfect for relaxing before bed, taking a mid-day break, or adding some wintery vibes to your day. You will hear cool wind blowing from the north towards the Eastern Rocky Mountains; the first snow dusting its peaks. Nick weaves a story of dream-images and real-life exploration of this landscape: “Silently, I watch the dense night sky as a calm breeze washes over me, cresting like a wave through the nearby aspens. On a clear night in a remote corner of the Rockies, deep in grizzly country, I see a countless sea of stars overhead, shimmering as brightly as I've ever seen. Reaching into my pocket, I grab my small pair of backpacking binoculars for a closer look.”Grab your headphones, a cup of something warm, and settle in by the fire. Rest your feet.Rest your mind.Rest your heart.Join us for a night under the stars in Glacier National Park.The nature sounds in this episode were recorded in the Eastern Rocky Mountains near the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The Blackfeet people have lived in the Rocky Mountain region for over 10,000 years and were the first people to hear the sounds of the winter wind blowing in from the north in this region.Sign up for my newsletter at https://merylarnett.substack.com/ to receive free mini meditations each week, creative musings, and more.Thank you to Nick McMahan for today's episode including narration, nature field recordings, sound design, and editing; and thank you to Brianna Nielsen for production and editing support.

Although soft-spoken and physically small, this larger-than-life mountain man would go on – during his own life – to become a national hero, and in death, he'd be immortalized in bronze. But who was Kit Carson? What sort of a man was he? What was his childhood like, and what events shaped him into the legend he'd become? Was Carson a courageous hero or a bloodthirsty killer and the living embodiment of manifest destiny? Or just somewhere in between? And just how short was he anyway?

“If you want to get away with murder, do it on an Indian reservation”so writes debut author, K,A, Corbell in her YA thriller, LOOKING FOR SMOKE, a sensitive look at the historic issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.   The Indigenous communities of the US and Canada face a prevailing issue in Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or #MMIWG2S.  The numbers speak for themselves: 84 percent of Native women have experienced violence and 56 percent have experienced sexual violence. The murder rate of Native women is three times more than that of white women, and in some locations the rate is more than ten times the national average.  While Native women, girls, and two-spirit people are drastically more likely to be killed or go missing than any other group, these tragedies have typically not received the necessary attention from news media, law enforcement, or wider society. With deft talent and a fresh voice, K.A. Cobell carefully folds this epidemic into a fast-paced story of grief and secrecy, in a high-stakes whodunnit. When local teen Loren includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet Giveaway to honor Loren's missing sister, Mara thinks she'll finally make some friends on the Blackfeet reservation. Instead, a girl from the Giveaway, Samantha White Tail, turns up murdered. The last four people to see Samantha alive—Mara, Loren, Brody, and Eli—become the persons of interest in the investigation, and every one of them has a complicated history with the victim and each other. To clear their names, they'll have to take matters into their own hands—and find the murderer among them. LOOKING FOR SMOKE will shine a light on not only this timely issue, but on the strength and hope of the Native communities affected by it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Raising Native American Voices

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 5, Episode 4 Episode Title: Raising Native American Voices Guest: Dr. Joe Gladstone   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary:  "For any Native American advocate, be who you are, find what you're passionate about, and do your best not to let people talk you out of it. Things won't change instantly, but in the grand scheme of things, good work done diligently will ultimately prevail.” — Dr. Joe Gladstone   Too often, the vibrant tapestry of Native American cultures gets flattened into a single, oversimplified narrative. But their powerful voices demand to be heard in all their diversity.    In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Joe Gladstone, whose roots span the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana and Nez Perce. As an esteemed educator, he's on a mission to bridge the worlds of modern management principles and the rich wisdom of Native and Indigenous cultures. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Management at Washington State University's Carson College of Business.    From exploring the deep symbolism of land acknowledgment ceremonies to preserving Indigenous languages, his insights will challenge you to reflect on the profound respect owed to Native communities. We also touch upon transplanar wisdom, a foundational Native American and Indigenous philosophy, and its influences on organization management and business ethics.   3 Exceptional Highlights:   Over 500 federally recognized Native American tribes in the U.S. retain sovereignty, as enshrined in the Constitution defining them as sovereign nations alongside foreign states. Land acknowledgments should be accompanied by tangible efforts to recognize, honor, and give back to the Native communities that have historically been connected to that land.  Rather than deeming any Native tradition or culture obsolete, we must examine which ones are genuinely authentic to pre-reservation times and which are more recent adaptations.   Show Highlights:    Can you share how your cultural heritage has influenced your personal and professional journey?    02:31 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   Working with tribes has given me a deep understanding of how different cultures perceive and navigate the world. This understanding has influenced my focus as an educator on respecting and helping others draw from their own experiences.   What does it mean to be enrolled into a particular tribe, and what does life look like for people on reservations?   08:39 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   Each tribe has its own rules around enrollment, which is essentially citizenship. For many tribes like the Blackfeet, you need a certain 'blood quantum' or degree of ancestry to enroll. Your enrollment is usually decided by your parents when you're young based on the tribe's rules. Reservation life ranges from isolated rural communities to urban existences, depending on the tribe's geography and enterprises.   What does The PhD Project mean to you?    14:37 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   I'm grateful to the PhD Project for connecting me to schools like New Mexico State that were interested in my background with American Indian communities.  For minorities to build strong economies, we need business skills around making, managing, and accounting for money. Having professors who look like the students and can make business real for them keeps them engaged to graduate.   One of the things that I often get asked is about the practice of Land Acknowledgments and whether or not people should do them. What is your take on it?   21:46 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Land acknowledgments have a deep spiritual tradition among Native peoples. When entering someone else's land, we acknowledge that we are guests, honor past inhabitants, respect the current stewards and their rules, and commit to protecting the land for future generations.   How can organizations show authentic respect alongside land acknowledgment ceremonies?    25:15 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Simply saying the words of a land acknowledgment is not enough. Organizations should pair the acknowledgment with concrete actions to give back to the tribal communities whose land they occupy, like building a park, rehabilitating land, holding an annual ceremony/event, etc. Another way would be to educate themselves about the specific Indigenous people who originally lived on and knew that land intimately.   We know there are difficulties in preserving Native American culture and art plays an important role in doing that. One of my favorite The Moth episodes is a story that Manuelito Wheeler shared wherein he spearheaded dubbing Star Wars in the Navajo language. What is the importance of projects preserving Native languages?   29:25 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Language and faith are deeply intertwined—preserving language preserves how we understand and view the world through our cultural lens. Dubbing Star Wars into Navajo helps keep the language alive, which is valuable. However, I wonder if translating a deeply philosophical film like Star Wars fully conveyed the metaphysical and spiritual meanings embedded in the original English version. We must explore the question of whether dubbing English films captures the full nuanced meaning, versus creating original Navajo-language content from the start.   What advice do you give to other Natives on navigating the challenges of maintaining traditional cultural values while also living in contemporary society?   35:32 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   There is this concept of "transmotion" from Native philosopher Gerald Vizenor. It's the ability to fluidly code-switch between cultural identities, drawing from the useful values and innovations of each world to navigate life's journey seamlessly and carry out our purpose. Transmotion allows you to stay grounded in your traditions while also adapting compatible parts of the mainstream, enabling you to thrive in all spheres of your life's journey.   I'm just curious, are there any Native American cultures or traditions that you feel perhaps need to change?   40:06 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   It's hard for me to speak on every tribe's customs since there are over 500 different tribes. But I can reflect more broadly on this idea of cultural resilience and how we preserve traditions. The "traditions" practiced today descend from post-reservation elders, so we should examine their deeper ancestral roots. ​​ How do you see the future of Native American activism and advocacy evolving in the coming years? Are there any particular initiatives or projects that you want to shout out that involve uplifting Native American voices?    47:06 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   One area I've advocated for is getting Native and Indigenous representation recognized in business academia. I founded the Native and Indigenous Peoples Caucus to give more Native voices authority by defining what Indigenous research means, guiding scholarship in this area, and providing editorial oversight. Another powerful form of activism is getting authentic Native stories and characters represented in media, like the work Lily Gladstone does in uplifting those narratives on screen as more than just background roles.

In July of 1806, Captain Meriwether Lewis and three of his companions had a violent confrontation with the Blackfeet, resulting in at least one dead warrior. This encounter would lead to strained relations between the United States and the Blackfeet Confederacy and result in decades of bloodshed. But is the official story – as told by the Corps of Discovery – truly what occurred? The Blackfeet don't think so! Also discussed is the re-crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains, the splitting up of command, and the curious pronunciation of the Marias River.

Her experiences over the years have given her unique strength and wisdom, but have also taken a physical and emotional toll. Does she have what it takes to fend off the inevitable confluence of evil?

Lily Gladstone had been in several films, but unknown to most moviegoers, when she got a call for Martin Scorsese's period drama “Killers of a Flower Moon.” The role was challenging. She plays the historical Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman married to a white man, Ernest (played in the film by Leonardo DiCaprio), who perpetrates a series of murders of Osage people in a scheme to secure lucrative oil rights. Ernest may be poisoning her with a cocktail that includes morphine, and some of the dialogue is in Osage, a language that Gladstone—raised on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana—had to learn. Gladstone is the first Native person nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and is aware of the historical weight the nomination carries.  “We're kicking the door in,” she says. “When you're kicking the door in, you should just kind of put your foot in the door and stand there,” she adds. “Kicking the door and running through it means it's going to shut behind you.” Plus, our film critic Richard Brody returns with his annual movie honors: the Brody Awards. An awards show exclusively for The New Yorker Radio Hour, he'll be handing out imaginary trophies—and trash-talking Oscar favorites like “Oppenheimer”—alongside the staff writer Alexandra Schwartz.

Grizzly bears are expanding their range. But where are they headed? To find out, we get out on the land with ranchers Erik Kalsta and Jami Murdoch, who are working with partners to monitor wildlife – including grizzlies – on their operation in southwest Montana.  Together with Erik, Jami and Blackfeet rancher Kristen Kipp, plus a band of other experts, we explore what it really means for grizzly bears to recover under the protection of the Endangered Species Act, and the real challenges bears, and people, face as they do.

Today on “Post Reports,” we join The Post's Lillian Cunningham on her journey through the messy past and uncertain future of America's most awe-inspiring places: the national parks. Next stop? Glacier.Read more:All 63 national parks sit on Indigenous ancestral lands. They're places Native Americans called home for thousands of years. But for more than 100 years, these places have also been public lands, intended to benefit all Americans. Sometimes that puts Native American tribes and the National Park Service into conflict. That's particularly true in Glacier National Park, where members of the Blackfeet have fought to preserve their deep connection to the land in the nearly 130 years since the tribe ceded it to the U.S. government. In this episode of “Field Trip,” Washington Post reporter Lillian Cunningham takes listeners on an immersive journey, as she drives off the park's Going-to-the-Sun Road and onto the Blackfeet reservation. Because to get inside the heart of Glacier today, you have to go outside it.We'll hear the story of how Ed DesRosier challenged park officials for the right to tell his people's story inside Glacier; meet two women, Rosalyn LaPier and Theda New Breast, who practice their families' traditions on both sides of the park border; and talk to Ervin Carlson about a plan, years in the making, to return free-roaming buffalo to the park.We'll also take a detour to Washington, D.C., where we'll hear from Charles Sams III, the first Native American to helm the National Park Service, about what the future of collaboration between parks and tribes could look like.
