Podcasts about Cahuilla

Minnesota is the first state to sign compacts with tribes for cannabis operations. The White Earth Nation just opened that state's first off-reservation recreational marijuana retail store. A second store is already in the works with the tribe envisioning as many as eight dispensaries statewide. But as some tribes lead the way with economic development potential for cannabis, some other tribes elsewhere are subject to law enforcement actions and regulatory hurdles. We'll hear about both the success stories and dead ends for tribal cannabis operations. GUESTS Mary Jane Oatman (Nez Perce and Delaware), executive director of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association and founder of THC Magazine Lester Marston (Cahuilla), attorney and tribal court judge Blake Johnson (Dakota), president of Prairie Island CBH Inc.

In this week's episode of then & now, we present a recording of a recent panel discussion focusing on L.A. wildfires past, present, and future. This program is part of the “Why History Matters” series presented by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History—a series dedicated to the belief that historical knowledge is an indispensable, and often missing, ingredient in public debate.”Why History Matters: L.A. Wildfires Past, Present, and Future,” brought experts together to explore how historical and indigenous perspectives can reshape our understanding of wildfires, especially in light of the devastating Los Angeles County fires in January 2025. The discussion, anchored in the Fowler Museum at UCLA's “Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art” exhibition, interrogates prevailing narratives that frame fire solely as a destructive force, instead foregrounding indigenous epistemologies that recognize fire as a vital ecological process and a generational resource. Professors Hitoshi Abe, Gerald Clarke, Jr., and Char Miller distinguish three primary drivers of contemporary wildfire crises: climate change, fire suppression policies, and patterns of urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. To more effectively mitigate and adapt to the escalating risks posed by wildfires, these panelists discuss ways to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary land management and urban policy.Moderator:Stephen Aron is the Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President of the Autry Museum of the American West. A specialist in the history of frontiers, borderlands, and the American West, Dr. Aron holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.A., Ph.D.).Panelists:Hitoshi Abe is a Professor in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Abe is currently the director of Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies and holds the Terasaki Chair for contemporary Japanese study. In 2017, he established xLAB, an international think tank initiative that examines architecture's elastic boundaries and considers new possibilities through interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of the future built environment.Gerald Clarke Jr. is a Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American Relations at the University of California, Riverside. He is an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band of Indians and lives on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Gerald oversees the Clarke family cattle ranch and remains heavily involved in Cahuilla culture. Char Miller is the W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. His teaching and research reflect his fascination with all things environmental. Classes on U.S. environmental history, water in the U.S. West, and public lands management, like those on urbanization and the interplay between the natural and built landscapes, have deeply informed his writing.

In this episode of MUM, host Ellen Wong engages in an open-hearted discussion with death laborer and author meital yaniv. The conversation centers around their book, 'Bloodlines,' which explores the impact of the Israeli apartheid regime through the lens of meital's personal experiences and ancestral history. Topics include the deep-seated trauma and unaddressed grief carried by generations, the indoctrination within Israeli society, and meital's own life experience as an ex-israeli/ex-zionist. Ellen and meital emphasize the importance of compassion, the practice of grief, and the global implications of dismantling militarized identities for collective healing.About Guest: meital yaniv (b. 1984, Tel-Aviv, occupied Palestine) is learning how to be in a human form. they do things with words, with moving and still images, with threads, with bodies in front of bodies, with the Earth. They are a death laborer tending to a prayer for the liberation of the land of Palestine and the lands of our bodies. they keep Fires and submerge themselves in Ocean and Sea Water often. yaniv is learning to listen to the Waters, birdsongs, caretakers, and ancestors as they walk as a guest on the home and gathering place of the Cahuilla-ʔívil̃uwenetem Meytémak, Tongva-Kizh Nation, Luiseño-Payómkawichum, and Serrano-Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga'yam. yaniv is the author of bloodlines. They make offerings through true name collective.About the book “Bloodlines”: Bloodlines is an epic and intimate dive into the israeli apartheid regime from the perspective of an ex-israeli/ex-zionist soldier. Born into a sephardic and ashkenazi lineage of in/famous war heroes and pillars for the state of israel, meital yaniv traces their paternal family narrative from surviving the Holocaust of the second world war to migrating to Palestine and their subsequent indoctrination as zionist colonizers and defenders of the state of israel. yaniv directs our attention to the cycles of history and how genocide not only repeats but grows monstrously in the crevices of state belonging. Through a bold and radical poetics that unsettles language and definition, they foreground vulnerability while traversing the nuance of voice and inner forms of address. yaniv unravels the coordinates of belonging to write in the fissures of israeli identity. bloodlines is an invitation to contemporary israelis to unstitch the military uniform from their bodies and to reckon with their atrocities against generations of Palestinian lives and livelihoods. It is also a demand that the ongoing catastrophes in Palestine end now. With uncompromising courage and in lucid manifestation, yaniv urges israelis to join them in drowning in the wounds of their ancestors as well as the wounds they've inflicted, and in so doing, bring the state of israel and israeli identity to "a loving and caring death.”The prayer of bloodlines is to bring the israeli identity and state to a loving and caring death.Meital's Links & Offerings:IG: @bloodlines_bookOne-on-one Energy and Death work offerings through: https://www.truenamecollective.comUpcoming gatheringsOctober 11-13 Yom Kippur in Ukiah, CAOctober 18-20 Writing workshop and grief circle at Mendocino Art Center, CAAbout MumWe are on Youtube! Subscribe to our channel.MUM is produced by ⁠Ellen Wong⁠ and edited by ⁠Stepfanie Aguilar.⁠ Your support allows us to continue creating this podcast.

Thomas Rockwell, San Diego State University The Salton Basin was free of significant water between about 100 BCE and 950 CE but has filled to the sill elevation of +13 m six times between ca 950 and 1730 CE. Based on a dense array of cone penetrometer (CPT) soundings across a small sag pond, the Imperial fault is interpreted to have experienced an increase in earthquake rate and accelerated slip in the few hundred years after re-inundation, an observation that is also seen on the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto faults. This regional basin-wide signal of transient accelerated slip in interpreted to result from the effects of increased pore pressure on fault strength resulting from the ~100 m of water load during full lake inundations. If the relationship between co-seismic subsidence in the sag depression and horizontal slip through the sag is even close to constant, the slip rate on the Imperial fault may have exceeded the plate rate for a few hundred years due to excess stored elastic strain that accumulated during the extended dry period prior to ca 950 CE.

Today   on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine Lisa Dettmer and Kate Raphael talk to two Israeli spiritually informed Jewish activists and scholars about  what  the role  and effects are  of trauma are in living and growing up in the apartheid state of  Israel  on both their own lives, and the lives of others in Israel/Palestine and how that trauma and the exploitation of that trauma has supported the militaristic and colonialist Zionist state of Israel.  And we discuss  how racism and white supremacy are intrinsically part  of the  colonialist  Zionist project in Israel  from its founding and how healing from trauma is one of the important steps to peace. We talk to Meital Yaniv  who was born in Israel, and is learning how to be in a human form. they do things with words, with moving and still images, with threads, with bodies in front of bodies, with the Earth. they are a death laborer tending to a prayer for the liberation of the land of Palestine and the lands of our bodies. they keep Fires and submerge themselves in Ocean and Sea Water often. yaniv is learning to listen to the Waters, birdsongs, caretakers, and ancestors as they walk as a guest on the home and gathering place of the Cahuilla-ʔívil̃uwenetem Meytémak, Tongva-Kizh Nation, Luiseño-Payómkawichum, and Serrano-Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga'yam.yaniv is the author of bloodlines. They make offerings through true name collective.

Today, we're speaking with leaders of the San Diego Food System Alliance, about their far reaching 10 year vision for a healthier, more sustainable and more just food system in San Diego County. Our guests today are Elly Brown and Sona Desai, co-executive directors of the Alliance, who can speak about how this work is grounded in both community needs and evidence based research. It's an inspiring story of relationships, the transformational potential of food sovereignty and the belief that people can create a better food system when they work together. Welcome to the leading voices and food podcast. So Elly let's begin with you. Could you describe to our listeners what the San Diego Food System Alliance is and how did this organization come to be? Thanks for having us today Kelly. We're excited to talk about regional food systems work with you today and about San Diego's work. And as you know, Duke holds a really special place in my heart having attended graduate school there over 10 years ago. And it kind of feels like serendipity to talk about our work here in San Diego region around our food system. But on many levels the work has influenced my post MBA journey. Really the unlearning and the relearning, new ways of being, new ways of working together, and new economic systems that we can really nurture together in this region. And Sona, who's here with me - she's an incredible, humble thought leader and partner and has really inspired me in this work. So I'm glad that she can join us today together. And so to share a little bit about San Diego Food System Alliance. The Alliance was started a decade ago in 2012, and we are diverse and inclusive network guided by our newly-developed common agenda San Diego County Food Vision 2030. And really our mission is to cultivate a healthy, sustainable, just food system in our region of San Diego County. And we work to promote collaboration, influence policy and catalyze transformation in the food system here in our region of San Diego. And which really is the unseated land of the Kumeyaay, Luiseno, Cahuilla, and Cupeno people. And I think it's really important to recognize that as we're doing this work. Because we are all guests here and we need to recognize and honor the hosts or the original land stewards of this region. So that's who we are and what we're doing, and happy to share a little bit more as we go along. Thanks very much. So Sona, let's turn to you now. The alliance has recently done some pretty extensive strategic planning that we discussed and I know you've had input from a large number of stakeholders in this process. Could you describe how this has all worked and how you gained input and what the plan consists of? Yes, absolutely. Thanks again Kelly. And thank you Elly for your co-leadership in this work. So yes, we recently launched San Diego County Food Vision 2030, which we call a plan and a movement for transforming our region's food system over the next last 10 years. Developing food vision 2030 was a two year process. And we began this in the summer of 2019, and it culminated last summer in 2021. So the process itself included a pretty comprehensive literature review. We also did over a hundred interviews with key stakeholders within the community. We held several focus groups and then had, which you alluded to a sweeping community engagement process. Our goal when we started food vision 2030 was to center the needs and aspirations of our community, especially those that are historically left out of these planning processes. So to meet this goal, we were very intentional about cultivating very deep and trusting relationships with community based organizations, and businesses across San Diego County, particularly those that were rooted in communities that had historically been disinvested in and those elevating the needs of essential food system workers. To guide the process of developing food vision 2030 and to ensure community participation, we first started with creating a steering committee that represented these voices and included leaders of these communities that could help us mobilize participation and engagement across the communities during the two year planning process. In collaboration with these partners, we designed the community engagement strategy. It included several forums, neighborhood convenings across the county, and of course unfortunately, the launch of this community engagement process was slated for March 2020, and it coincided directly with the statewide COVID 19 lockdown. Despite those circumstances we remain committed to ensuring that community voices were centered in this process. We re-strategized with our community partners. We did a lot of research on the digital divide and collectively developed an accessible, interactive, customized digital experience that was tailored to 12 priority historically disinvested communities as well as farmers, fishermen, farm workers, food workers and independent restaurateurs and retailers. Through that process we engaged nearly 3000 San Diegons, and 60% of the voices came from those 12 priority communities and essential food system workers. It resulted in a common vision that includes three goals, 10 objectives, and several strategies for transforming our food system in San Diego County. The three goals are to cultivate justice, fight climate change, and build resilience. And the 10 objectives reflect priorities across the food system, including things like preserving agricultural lands, supporting the viability of local farms, fisheries and food businesses, strengthening food value chains, elevating wages and working conditions, expanding nutrition and food security, improving community food environments, scaling up food recovery efforts, and increasing BIPOC leadership throughout the food system. San Diego County food vision 2030 is a shared vision. It's our community's vision. And really our intention moving forward is to help guide collective action and have the vision, mobilize and inform planning policy program and investment opportunities throughout our region. Sona I'm really happy to hear about this because not only do you have a very ambitious set of goals, and the only way that one could possibly even imagine reaching those goals is to have a broad base of constituents who are working together on them, and you've managed to do that. But I also really appreciate you discussing the process of establishing these trusting relationships which isn't easy, it takes a long time but is critically important. Thank you for that. So Elly, I know from an earlier discussion that we had that your organization is working on five primary pillars. I want to share that before we began the creation of this new common agenda food vision 2030, we conducted two internal strategic planning processes. First, we created the Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion Roadmap, the JEDI roadmap. And second, we also created an operating strategy, and these two planning processes were really essential for us to hone in on who we are, what we do, and how we steward food vision 2030 forward as an alliance. And the JEDI roadmap really spells out our vision for racial equity and a lot around the how, but the operating strategy resulted in five pillars that helped to crystallize what we do to steward food vision 2030 forward. So these five pillars are: 1) build networks. Really our role in cultivating nurturing a diverse and inclusive network that's actively participating in the movement around this new vision, collaborating, learning, sharing together; 2) influence policy. Our primary focus is on the local level where we have the most influence. And we really are leaning towards moving towards community led organizing efforts around policy advocacy. And 3) is shift culture. So supporting our network and San Diegons in their education and awareness, to become better active participants towards cultivating a sustainable just food system. And 4) is increased capacity. So here we do a little bit more on the groundwork to actively support groups in their contribution towards a sustainable just food system. And one of the examples is the local food economy lab, which Sona I think will share a little bit more of. And lastly our 5) is operating strategy pillar is the nurture organizational health and viability.   So this is our work around culture, democratic governing management models, as well as viability matters for the organization. And lastly, I think one of the most important elements of our operating strategy also is our accountability and governance system. In addition to the board of directors for 501 we have a 21 member food vision 2030 stewardship committee consisting of majority organizers from communities that are most marginalized by our industrialized food system. These are what Sona has spelled out, the BIPOC neighborhoods across San Diego County, tribal communities, food farm workers, small farmers and fishermen, and BIPOC owned food businesses in our region.   What an accomplishment to bring together all those parties, and each of the pillars is really interesting. Sona I'd like to ask you about one of them in particular that has to do with the internal structure and environment of your own organization. Can you say more?   Yes, absolutely. Thank you for asking about that Kelly because it's the heartbeat of our organization and really what will allow us to have impact in the region. So as Elly mentioned, we see nurturing the health of our organization as absolutely foundational to our work and essential for transformational impact. While fundraising and resource development are clearly critical for sustaining the health of our organization, the structures of how we are organized, how we make decisions, and how we care for one another are equally essential. Over the past few years we have started allocating more time, capacity and intention toward creating internal policies that move us towards structures that reflect our core values of respect, inclusivity, health, collaboration and justice. This work has included working with a justice equity diversity inclusion consultancy organization, and developing an internal JEDI committee of staff board and alliance members. And together we developed a statement on justice as well as a detailed roadmap to ensure that we're actively working toward our vision of becoming an anti-racist organization and to help hold ourselves accountable.   We've also worked on our human resource HR handbook and policies. We have re-established our job descriptions and recruitment strategies, and also looking at our compensation structure. In addition to this, we also recognize that we need to be able to have a staff that is able to bring their whole selves to this work. And so we've really been working to cultivate a space for that and creating time and space for rest and reflection for our staff. And this is an ongoing work and we are beginning this and we have a lot that we can do as we move forward. But we have come to recognize that this is the work. This is the work. This is essential for our individual collective health and wellbeing. Another thing that we're starting to look at is outlining a vision toward moving toward becoming a less hierarchal and more democratic organization. So as part of this journey we transitioned to a co-executive directorship at the alliance late last year. We're also working now as a team to create a stronger culture of self-management. And as part of this effort, we're exploring various ways to create greater clarity and streamlined decision making across the organization. We're creating, experimenting and piloting with team structures to help hold one another accountable rather than a traditional supervisor employee type of relationship. And I think overall we believe that building equitable policies and procedures to govern our organization will ultimately foster an inclusive culture, and support our ability to retain greater diversity within our team and broader organizational network.   You're doing a lot of imaginative things and one of them that Elly mentioned earlier was the local food economy lab. Sona, could you say a little bit about what needs you identified that led to the development of this?   So we actually just had our kickoff call with about 50 partners yesterday for the local food economy lab. And this emerged through the food vision 2030 process. We heard consistent themes from small and mid-size farmers, fishermen and food business owners around limited technical assistant and business support services, to ensure their success in an increasingly competitive and consolidated marketplace, and this need that we heard was amplified across communities of color. So in particular, we heard the need for more equitable, customized and wraparound one-on-one and peer to peer services, especially lack indigenous and leaders of color. By wraparound services what we heard was that there's more than just a business plan that's required for a food business to be viable. Sometimes they also need to be able to combine that with bookkeeping support or marketing support or access to capital or infrastructure. And so by wraparound, we're really seeing that the lab could be a place where we could provide some of these needs. And of course, another theme that we saw a lot of last year was fractures across the food supply chain. And there was a huge need to try to meet demand locally from local producers and local food business owners. And so that's another area where San Diego County has a lot of opportunity to build infrastructure for the local movement and distribution and marketing of food. And then I guess one other theme that has really shaped the idea of the local food economy lab, is we've been hearing a lot more interest in community wealth building models and the idea of inclusive economic development. So we actually researched economic models like cooperatives and community land trust, employee ownership, and did develop a report building community wealth in San Diego County's food system. So this idea of the lab was really to create a space that merged all of these needs and opportunities and to provide, you know, one-on-one technical assistance, business support to farmers, fishermen, food businesses, primarily people of color, and to increase connections between local producers and local markets in the region. And then finally to elevate community wealth building models.   Bios   Elly Brown, Co-Executive Director - As the Co-Executive Director of the San Diego Food System Alliance, Elly Brown oversees the nonprofit administration and resource development domains, ensuring that the Alliance is achieving impact towards its mission.

What if you could access the depths of your past trauma in order to set yourself free? Would you? In this episode, Amelia interviews one of her dearest longtime friends, singer-songwriter and restorative justice advocate, Maya McNeil. Maya was the special soul who recently held space for a radical and powerfully transformative healing immersion Amelia experienced on a recent retreat in the Mojave desert. In this episode, we talk about the unearned power and privilege that comes with being white, and what that has to do with healing and the spiritual journey. We will take a deep dive into the transformational moments of Amelia’s entheogenic healing journey, and preview an acoustic release of Maya's song, Avalanche, a powerful song addressing sexual violence.In this episode, we talk about:• Why being a multi-passionate woman is a blessing, not a curse• How creativity and songwriting can heal • Unwinding white privilege to better serve the world• How to question the stories which shape us• Why discomfort is an essential part of the spiritual path• How nature and prayer support the healing of trauma Maya McNeil is a Modern Mystic, Ceremonial Musician, Songwriter, bodywork based health care practitioner, Space Holder, healing friend and day dreamer. If Maya had one super power, it would be to activate full understanding of one another, and all of life around us. If they could make a wish right this moment, it would be for the human concepts of inferiority and superiority to evaporate. Maya lives in the Bay Area, loves every single dog that they meet, and regularly puts too much maple syrup in their coffee, with no regrets.  Editor's NoteWe respectfully issue the following corrections regarding tribal territory recognition:A•wee•swaz, not Awaswa, is the correct pronunciation of Awaswas-Ohlone tribal land commonly known as Santa Cruz mountains. Joshua Tree National Park is the tribal land of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, and the Mojave people. Totally Stoked Weekly GiveawayDoes this episode have you totally stoked?

Your body naturally strives to be healthy. Given proper, absorbable, life giving nutrition from superfoods, your immune system can work efficiently to heal and maintain health. Natural Superfood supplements are essential for proper nutrient absorption & toxin elimination, enabling a naturally healthy, pain free body. When you supplement your diet with our superfoods, your body receives nutrients that it requires to function properly and optimally. You'll see increased energy and vitality. And because superfoods are whole food nutrition, you will not later experience a drop in energy, as you would from sugar and caffeine. http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/ultimate-superfoods-m-73.html Lucuma Powder Lucuma Powder is from a very nutritious fruit with high levels of beta-carotene, many B vitamins and iron, with significant amounts of calcium and phosphorus. It's a great flavoring for ice cream, and in Peru it exceeds the popular flavors of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/lucuma-powder-p-1239.html Raw Organic Tri-Colored Quinoa Nestled in between the mystical Salar de Uyuni salt flats and the high peaks of the Andes Mountains are expansive multicolored fields of Quinoa.  This unique growing region lies nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, in a remote area that is perfectly suited for this demanding seed to flourish.  A steady dose of sunshine and relatively stable temperatures and humidity year-round, combine with the minerally rich soil to yield a seed that is exceptional for its size, flavor, and nutritional value. Because of its proximity to the salt flats and the volcanic soil of the region, our Raw Organic Tricolor Quinoa is a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.  Quinoa is also a good source of fiber and contains a robust 5 grams of protein per serving along with trace amounts of potassium, zinc, and calcium.  While Quinoa is often used as a substitute for grains, it is in fact a seed making it gluten-free. One of the more impressive qualities of Quinoa is its essential amino acid profile.  Because of the broad spectrum of amino acids present in Quinoa, it comes very close to matching the standards set by the FAO for human nutritional needs. http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/quinoa-5-lbs-p-1241.html Ultimate SuperFoods Mesquite Pod Meal Our USDA Organic, Kosher mesquite flour is made from the seedpods of the mesquite tree from Argentina and Peru. Ground mesquite powder taste like an aromatic blend of cinnamon, chocolate, and coffee. For 2000 years, mesquite flour was a staple food of Native Americans from the Texas to California area, because mesquite trees thrive in arid climates where other crops wither. Mesquite pods were one of the most significant foods of the desert Apache, Pima, Cahuilla, Maricopa, Yuma, Mohave, and Hopi tribes. Like many other desert plants, the mesquite tree super concentrates nutrients in its seeds to compensate for the harsh environment. Consequently, it is so nutritious and mineral-rich that many consider it a "superfood." Mesquite powder is very high in magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, zinc, fiber, and digestible proteins (including lysine). It also acts as an antioxidant, and its glycemic index is low in spite of its sweet taste. It can be used as either a gluten-free flour or a superfood seasoning. http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/mesquite-powder-p-1001.html

The southern San Andreas Fault in California has not had a large earthquake in approximately 300 years, yet the average recurrence interval for the previous five ruptures is about 180 years.
