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.

Legal limbo: The 30-year battle over drilling rights in the Badger Two-Medicine

Montana Untamed

The Badger-Two Medicine region nestles between the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Glacier National Park and the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. It also lies in legal limbo after the latest court decision re-opened a fight over energy drilling rights that's been going on for three decades. On September 9, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ordered the Department of Interior to re-instate a federal lease and drilling permit to Solenex LLC. That lease covers about 10 square miles of the Badger Two Medicine, and the permit potentially opens it to road-building for drilling rigs to explore for oil. Last week, the coalition of environmental groups and Blackfeet cultural organizations returned to court seeking to overturn Leon's latest order. It's a back-and-forth routine that's gone on since the 1980s. And while many thought the matter settled at the end of the Obama – and then Trump – administrations, it now appears to live on through the Biden administration. On this episode, Missoulian reporter Josh Murdock and Managing Editor Rob Chaney recount the history of the Badger-Two Medicine legal fight and why this place is important.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Established by treaty in 1855, the reservation is located in northwest Montana" (blackfeetnation.com). In this episode, Tim explores Maslow's studies of the Blackfeet Nation. Specifically, Maslow notes the high synergy within the Blackfeet Nation (valuing gratitude, situational leadership, lack of competition) which he contrasts with the low synergy of some business organizations (competition, low morale, overvaluing one person as the leader). Tim references the book, "Maslow and Management" (1998, p. 24). Reference Maslow, A. H., Kaplan, A. R., Stephens, D. C., Heil, G., & Center for Innovative Leadership. (1998). Maslow on management.

Dr. Tarissa Spoonhunter, professor of American Indian Studies at Central Wyoming College, is focused on sharing Native knowledge in order to increase understanding and build relationships—something that resides deep in her roots growing up on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Her Nation Building classes introduce Federal Indian law and policy classes to help American Indians learn about contemporary issues that they are facing today in subject areas of treaty rights, national forest, national parks, and traditional ecological rights. At age nine, Spoonhunter was given the name Medicine Beaver Woman by her people, a name she remembers feeling came with a great deal of responsibility. Spoonhunter carried that responsibility throughout her life accomplishments. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology from the University of Montana and a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona. She earned awards from the National Science Foundation, published numerous research papers and has presented at national conferences. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Native American scholars only earned 0.3 percent of doctorate degrees. Spoonhunter feels that receiving recognition for an award from a national organization such as the Emerging Scholar will encourage fellow Native Americans to pursue doctoral degrees in the future. "Education is key to the sharing of knowledge. We share knowledge not saying that our way is the best way, but to build bridges, to share and come to an agreement. A lot of times the natives have been consulted by the Park Service for management of animals but rarely are they given a seat at the table, that's one of the issues for instance…” - Tarissa Spoonhunter.

Philosophy of Peace Waging – Episode #26 This episode is a retrospective by our host, Ruth, and four storytellers on how Global Volunteers' Philosophy of Service is a philosophy of waging peace, promoting justice and working hand-in-hand with local people. Carol lends an academic perspective by reminding us that colonialism was the historical mindset by dominant cultures, and helping others in useful ways is a very recent orientation to the world. The roots of childhood stunting, which Global Volunteers addresses in Tanzania, can be traced to generations of failed government policies. We can "right the wrongs" she says, by applying ourselves to the real needs of the community. Cynthia was struck by the realization that the value of relationships on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation transcends other measurable outcomes, and is at the center of Global Volunteers' Philosophy of Service. Maggie speaks to how cultural sharing is foundational to every volunteer's successful contribution at the volunteer work site. Emily's assignment in Tanzania was building and demonstrating effective hand-washing stations.  In-country partnerships, she says, works only when sincere relationships are built first.  After that, true long-lasting service can be rendered to the community.

Be The Change – Episode #22 This episode takes us to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana - in the shadow of the great Rocky Mountains.  Once part of the land that now cradles Glacier National Park, to most visitors, this sovereign nation is but a "pass through" on the road.  But, a closer look reveals a spirit that's as majestic as the mountains themselves.  Reservation volunteers take the time to learn about the traditions, history and heart of the reservation - directly from those who live, work and struggle there. Our storytellers define the line between what we think we know, and what we are privileged to learn, about Native Americans. Global Volunteers Co-founder Michele Gran provides a context - and sense of place - for this episode's storytellers.  "I'm always energized when I go to the reservation," she says.  "We work with the leaders, and the seekers, and the visionaries, and the doers in the community.  And it's nothing short of inspirational." "Everytime I'm there, I wonder what the United States would look like if we had adopted their ways instead of washing them," says Cindy Murray, a team leader.  They have a grace and elegance, as well as a history and culture, Cindy explains, that we all can learn from. International Operations Director Peter Kelly defines two of the service projects - supporting elders - that put volunteers in the midst of the day-to-day life on the reservation. You can expect cultural insights each day, at the work site or on the way to assignments.  Gabe, a volunteer, describes encountering a bald eagle - and the tradition of honoring this symbolic animal in the Blackfeet culture.   Episode storytellers: Peter, Gabe, Michele, and Cindy
