In October 2008, 21-year-old Dylan Koshman disappeared from south Edmonton after a late-night argument with his cousins. He left the house wearing only jeans and a t-shirt—and without his phone, wallet, or jacket—never to be seen again. Initially treated as a missing-person case, the investigation was later reclassified as a homicide. Dylan's wallet was recovered from a neighboring yard, but no other trace of him has been found. Years later, the case remains unresolved, classified by police as suspended, with no charges laid.--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textEver wondered what it feels like to communicate with those who've passed on? In this captivating conversation, we're joined by Nikki Blair, a gifted Coast Salish medium who's amassed nearly 20,000 followers on TikTok through her authentic and powerful readings.Nikki shares her extraordinary journey, beginning with her first spirit encounter at age five. Born into three indigenous tribes—Lummi, Nooksack, and LaCamel—she was raised in a culture where spiritual connections were embraced rather than feared. This cultural foundation allowed her natural abilities to flourish, though her gifts didn't fully emerge professionally until 2020.What makes Nikki's approach refreshingly different is her emphasis on boundaries and control in mediumship. "You are in control of your gift," she reassures listeners who might be discovering their own intuitive abilities. She walks us through how she protects her energy, works with her spirit guides (including her main guide Jonathan), and uses meditation to strengthen her connection to the spirit world.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Nikki demonstrates a real-time clairvoyance exercise, offering a glimpse into how she trains aspiring mediums in her mentorship program. As both a professional medium and spiritual mentor, she tailors her teaching approach to each student's natural abilities, whether they're complete beginners or practicing intuitives looking to refine specific skills.Nikki's authenticity shines through as she candidly discusses the challenges of professional readings, from skeptical clients to the occasional difficult session. Her approach combines clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance, creating a multi-dimensional channel for spirits to communicate through signs, symbols, and direct messages.Whether you're curious about connecting with loved ones who've passed, exploring your own intuitive gifts, or simply fascinated by the mysterious world of mediumship, this episode offers illuminating insights from someone walking the path with grace, power, and indigenous wisdom. Follow Nikki on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@nickoleblair32?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc or Instagram as https://www.instagram.com/thecoastsalishmedium/ to witness her remarkable abilities firsthand.Website for readings, mentorships and more! https://www.thecoastsalishmedium.com/Love what you hear?

After close to 500,000 votes and stiff competition from 63 other provincial symbols, the CBC audience has voted in the orca as B.C.'s Best Symbol.CBC's Justin McElroy and On The Island host Gregor Craigie join the show live from the Centre for the Coast Salish in Sidney, B.C., to talk all things orca — from its connection to Indigenous communities, to conservation efforts, to the lore surrounding it in B.C.They speak to WSÁNEĆ Nation community engagement coordinator Eric Pelkey, Lindsay Kolb of the CETUS Research and Conservation Society and author Mark Leiren-Young about the symbolism of the orca.

This morning I set out on P'Kols before the heat arrived and had a fantastic 70-minute adventure on the Saddle Loop. I started near the Sea View Inn and Suites at Cordova Bay, crossing the three “Fake Bridges” — my nickname for the short boardwalks over damp, mossy ground. Whittaker Trail took me into the cool cedar shade, winding upward toward the saddle with its mix of roots, dirt, and rocky steps. I passed places rich with Coast Salish history and ongoing restoration work, then descended toward Douglas Creek before looping back to my starting point. By the time I finished, I had covered 6.67 km, climbed 153 m, and enjoyed every minute of my 1h 1m run, legs light and lungs filled with sea breeze. #PKOLS #TrailRunning #SaddleLoop #WhittakerTrail #SeaViewInn #CordovaBay #CoastSalishTerritory #NatureRun #RunHappy #DouglasCreek #ForestRunning #TrailLife

In June 1959, 12-year-old Lynne Harper disappeared from the small community of Clinton, Ontario. Two days later, her body was found in a wooded area near a rural concession road. What followed was one of the most infamous wrongful convictions in Canadian history.Steven Truscott, a 14-year-old classmate, was arrested, charged with Lynne's murder, and sentenced to death — all within weeks. For decades, Steven fought to clear his name, facing a justice system that refused to admit its mistakes. His case became a landmark example of wrongful conviction, influencing public opinion, legal reform, and how Canada handles cases involving young offenders.In this episode, we revisit the murder of Lynne Harper and the conviction that changed the life of Steven Truscott. We'll explore the flawed investigation, the trial's key evidence, and how Steven's fight for justice unfolded over nearly half a century.For a deeper look into this case, we recommend the book Until You Are Dead by Julian Sher: https://www.amazon.ca/Until-You-Are-Dead-Truscotts/dp/0676973817--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Hosted on Acast.

On a spontaneous whim one rainy Saturday morning, Tom began to read a storybook to me through whatsapp voice notes. A storybook that he had not quite got round to reading before. You know the type - you skim the illustrations, grab it on impulse, then on returning home it sits patiently in the ‘waiting pile', sighing to itself at the wonder the book knows it contains within its interior. And oh my, what a storybook it was! I argued with it, questioned it, took offence to it and peered dubiously at it. I also marvelled at it, gasped with awe at it, surrendered with delight to it and ultimately fell into a spellbound swoon. How could I not want to share such a tale and such a teller with you! So, here for your listening pleasure is the story of Eemook as read by Tom… Eemook's story is from The Sea Lion written by master storyteller Ken Kesey and illustrated by Neal Waldman, published in 1991. It is described by the publishers as an original tale that takes its inspiration from the Indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Northwest. The Peoples include the Chinook, Salish, Coast Salish, Kwakwaka'wakw and the Tlingit. More information can be found at https://www.nativehistory.info/pacific-northwest-native-tribes-culture/ And as an extra bonus I wanted to share a stunning short film by Jules Guerin entitle A Shaman's Tale - https://julesguerin.tv/a-shamans-tale Tom lives in a small cottage in the Bay Area of California where he designs and maintains gnome friendly gardens that incorporate native plants, which are also friendly toward birds and bees. He is a part time astrologer who loves viewing the night sky from the desert. His recent interest in giving voice to story has emerged along with a rekindled interest in song. It has been helped along from having had the events of his life lovingly mirrored back to him as story, and the gentle encouragement of his uncensored voice.

In a time when Jewish trauma is being weaponized and used to justify the Israeli genocide against Palestinians, the book An Anti-Zionist Path to Embodied Jewish Healing: Somatic Practices to Heal Historical Wounds, Unlearn Oppression, and Create a Liberated World to Come presents a liberatory model for Jewish healing firmly rooted in Jewish spiritual values. In this book based conversation the panel  discusses the intersection of healing and activism that can make our organizing movements more healing and our healing more political to strengthen our collective work for a free Palestine and a Jewishness beyond Zionism. Over the last year and a half, many of us activists and organizers have felt hopeless, despairing, and angry that we have not been able to stop this genocidal violence being carried out in our names. Sometimes we take these feelings out on each other by being overly critical and unkind, which leads to fractures inside our movements. At this time of rising fascism when the Trump administration is exploiting the fractures on the Left to create division, we can incorporate body-based healing to strengthen our collective power that moves us closer to a liberated world and a free Palestine. Wendy Elisheva Somerson (Wes) is a queer non-binary, disabled, cat- loving Ashkenazi Jewish somatic healer, writer, activist, and visual artist residing on Duwamish and Coast Salish land. One of the founders of the Seattle chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, they have been active in Palestinian solidarity work for more than two decades. As a politicized healer, Wes works at the intersection of personal and collective healing with individuals, groups, and organizations. They are the creator and facilitator of Ruach, an ongoing anti-Zionist, body-based Jewish healing group. Cecilie Surasky is the Director of Communications and Narrative at the Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI) at UC Berkeley, a global research and advocacy organization focused on understanding the structures of exclusion and building a world where all people belong. Cecilie's career spans decades of mobilizing politically marginalized communities, and she's proud of her role in building a co-liberation movement as the founding communications and later deputy director of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). She draws from her own family's journey with traumatic grief, belonging and resilience. Penny Rosenwasser, Ph.D., is a lifelong heartfelt rabble-rouser for justice. A queer/lesbian white Jewish intersectional feminist, Penny is author of the award-winning Hope into Practice, Jewish women choosing justice despite our fears. She was a founding Board member and early leader of Jewish Voice for Peace, co-teaches an Antisemitism/Anti-Arabism class with a Palestinian colleague at City College of San Francisco, and serves on the Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish Nonviolence. An educator, public speaker, fundraiser and  facilitator, Penny organized events for the Middle East Children's Alliance for 32 years and is a racial justice leader at Kehilla synagogue.           The post An Anti-Zionist Path to Embodied Jewish Healing: A conversation about the intersection of healing and activism with Wendy Elisheva Somerson (Wes), Cecilie Surasky, and Penny Rosenwaswer appeared first on KPFA.

In this episode, we look at who Malcom was, his life in Mexico, and the night he was last seen. We're joined by journalist and filmmaker Robert Osborne, who has investigated the case for both a book and the 2022 CBC documentary Malcom Is Missing.

The role of artists is the role of dreaming. I've worked as a poet, as a multimedia artist, sound artist, storyteller. I think we hold the capacity to shape the narratives that build our present, our future, reshape the narratives that inform our past. I still believe in that role. I do believe that we have a call to work on the episteme, this epistemological call, this call to investigate the ideas, the words and the shapes that build our relationships. I think if we can do that alone, dreaming of a new reality, dreaming of futurities, dreaming of dialogue… I think that's a good path for us artists.Rafael Zen is a queer Latinx video and sound artist and performer, currently living in the land of the Coast Salish peoples, otherwise known as Vancouver. We were both part of an event at Emily Carr University of Art and Design called Listening in Relationthat expanded upon listening practices and ecological art by exploring decolonization through thought and practices of IBPoC artists. I asked Rafael about their work in new media, performance art, and in particular their understanding of decolonization and decolonial resistance. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsEmbrace the role of an artist as a dreamer, shaping and reshaping narratives of the past, present, and future.Investigate the impact of colonial capitalism and its effect on our ability to envision solutions and equitable futures.Utilize sound and immersive installations to raise awareness of presence and challenge dominant structures.Trust your artistic vision and use storytelling to foster dialogue and connection within local communities.Identify your non-negotiables to guide your art and activism toward decolonization and meaningful change.Story PreviewWhat if art could awaken us from our colonial capitalist slumber?

(quoting Lélia Gonzalez)Behind the StoryRafael Zen's work is deeply rooted in cyborg theory, speculative environmental utopias, and Brazilian indigenous theory. Zen draws inspiration from thinkers like Ailton Krenak and Mark Fisher, crafting art that challenges audiences to confront the devastation caused by colonial capitalism. By creating immersive installations and using sound as a democratic medium, Zen aims to provoke dialogue and foster a sense of presence, ultimately inviting listeners to reimagine a world free from oppression and violence. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

He told his family he'd be back later that day — but he never returned.Byron, a member of the Nekaneet Cree Nation, was a well-known presence in the small community of Maple Creek. He worked at the local livestock auction barn, supported his brother at hockey games, and was planning to return to work in the oil fields that January.

In Part One, we shared Aspen Pallot's vibrant life and the devastating impact of intimate partner violence.Now, in Part Two, we follow her family's painful journey through the Canadian justice system—a process that felt cold, slow, and disconnected.

This week on True North True Crime, we're joined by Jordan from The Nighttime Podcast to examine the troubling and still-unfolding case of Lily and Jack Sullivan, two young siblings who vanished from their rural property in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, on the morning of May 2, 2025.According to their parents, six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack may have wandered off while the couple was napping with their 16-month-old child inside the home. A massive search was launched, involving helicopters, drones, police dogs, and over 160 trained volunteers covering more than five square kilometers of dense terrain. Despite extensive efforts, no trace of the children has been found.While the RCMP have been issuing frequent and detailed updates, public interest has fueled intense speculation and online misinformation. In this episode, we team up with Jordan to walk through the confirmed timeline, clear up what's true and what's not, and explore how digital discourse can complicate already delicate investigations.--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dive deep into the rich and often overlooked indigenous history of what we now call Sasquatch or Bigfoot. Drawing from centuries of oral traditions and documented encounters, we explore how Native American and First Nations peoples across North America have long maintained detailed knowledge of these forest beings. Brian shares personal experiences with these creatures while acknowledging the importance of maintaining healthy skepticism about evidence. The episode highlights the remarkable consistency in descriptions from tribes that had no contact with one another – from physical characteristics like height and hair covering to behaviors such as wood knocking and whistling communications.We journey across the continent, examining traditions from the Pacific Northwest's Coast Salish peoples (who gave us the term "Sasquatch"), the California tribes' accounts of Oh-mah, the Lakota's sacred Chiye-tanka, and many others. The narrative explores how these weren't simply folk tales but sophisticated ecological knowledge embedded with practical information about forest stewardship and proper protocols for respecting all beings.The episode also addresses the impact of colonization on these traditions, including missionary suppression and boarding schools that disrupted knowledge transmission. Despite these challenges, we learn how many tribes are now revitalizing these traditions through cultural preservation programs, educational initiatives, and even formal research partnerships that blend traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific methods.Listeners will gain insight into the diverse perspectives within indigenous communities today – from those who maintain literal belief in these beings to those who interpret the traditions metaphorically as embodiments of ecological relationships. Throughout the episode, we examine how these ancient traditions align with modern encounters, suggesting continuity of experience across cultures and time periods.Whether you're a dedicated Sasquatch researcher, interested in indigenous knowledge systems, or simply curious about one of North America's most enduring mysteries, this episode offers a respectful and comprehensive look at a subject that bridges the ancient and contemporary, the spiritual and the scientific.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

For years, Cody Dempster's case remained unresolved. Then, in 2018, the file was taken over by a cold case unit, and investigators narrowed in on a suspect. But despite significant developments, no arrest was ever made. In this episode, we uncover who police believe is responsible for Cody's death—and why they were never brought to trial.

Welcome to another episode where we dive deep into the mysteries of the legendary Sasquatch. Today, we embark on a journey through time, exploring the origins of this enigmatic creature's name, the pioneers who paved the way for cryptozoological research, and the modern-day encounters cataloged by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). Finally, we'll take a closer look at the track evidence that has sparked heated debates in both the scientific and cryptid communities.The Genesis of the Name SasquatchLong before Bigfoot became a household name, indigenous cultures across North America shared stories of large, hairy beings that roamed the forests.The term Sasquatch itself originates from the Coast Salish word Sésquac, meaning “wild man.” It was introduced to popular culture in the 1920s by J.W. Burns, a Canadian teacher who collected and documented First Nations' accounts of the creature. From there, Sasquatch slowly made its way into the cryptid lexicon, preceding the more famous moniker Bigfoot, which wouldn't gain traction until the late 1950s.The pursuit of unknown creatures isn't new. In the mid-20th century, a new branch of study emerged—cryptozoology—dedicated to investigating creatures that exist on the fringes of scientific recognition. Figures like Bernard Heuvelmans, Ivan T. Sanderson, and Grover Krantz were instrumental in developing this field, applying scientific methods to analyze claims of mysterious creatures, including Sasquatch. Krantz, in particular, became one of the foremost defenders of Bigfoot's potential existence, arguing that physical evidence—especially footprints—could not be easily dismissed.The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has meticulously cataloged thousands of encounters, compiling witness reports from across North America. From fleeting glimpses to prolonged close encounters, the database serves as one of the largest repositories of Bigfoot-related evidence. Patterns have emerged over time—frequent sightings in the Pacific Northwest, eerie vocalizations heard in dense forests, and even alleged physical interactions with the creature. But with this vast amount of anecdotal evidence, the question remains: Are these reports merely misidentifications, hoaxes, or something more?Tracks and the Debate Over Their AuthenticityFootprints have long been one of the most cited pieces of evidence in the search for Sasquatch. Some tracks, like the famous Cripple Foot print analyzed by Grover Krantz, have been presented as near-definitive proof of the creature's existence. Others, like the tracks discovered by Paul Freeman, have been widely debated, with skeptics arguing they were fabricated. This brings us to an article published in The Skeptical Inquirer by Michael R. Dennett, titled Bigfoot Evidence: Are These Tracks Real? In this piece, Dennett critically examines track evidence, particularly those tied to Freeman and Krantz, raising questions about their authenticity and whether belief has clouded scientific rigor.Final ThoughtsWhether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, the mystery of Sasquatch remains one of the most enduring and fascinating topics in cryptozoology. The stories, the evidence, and the ongoing debates keep us questioning what might be lurking in the remote wilderness. As we sift through history, firsthand encounters, and the physical evidence left behind, one thing is certain—the legend of Sasquatch isn't going anywhere.Tune in and decide for yourself: Are we on the cusp of a major cryptozoological discovery, or is the truth behind Sasquatch forever lost in folklore and fabrication?Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Amber Manthorne was last seen in her Vancouver Island community of Port Alberni on July 7, 2022, leaving her loved ones and the community searching for answers. Her white 2021 Jeep Compass was found abandoned two days later, near a logging road outside Nanaimo. In a chilling twist, security footage shows her ex-boyfriend, Justin Hall, driving her vehicle and struggling with a suitcase and a large plastic tote in the early hours of July 8. The large black plastic tote seen in the footage has never been recovered.The RCMP now believe that Amber was likely the victim of foul play, with Hall as a key person of interest. Yet Hall's own death in Merritt last year has left police with more questions than answers, and Amber's family still waits for closure. In this episode, we speak with Laura Palmer, host of the podcast Island Crime, who covered Amber's case in-depth. Together, we examine the events surrounding Amber's disappearance, the disturbing details caught on camera, and the lingering questions that haunt those still hoping for answers.RCMP Press Release: https://bc-cb.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=2136&languageId=1&contentId=85797Check out "Island Crime": https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/island-crime/id1513479877Finding Amber Manthorne Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1407755686318181--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

For thousands of years, fluffy white dogs could be found across the Pacific Northwest. Their exceptionally soft, crimpy hair was shorn like sheep's wool, spun into yarn, and woven into blankets and robes by indigenous women who carefully tended them in communities across Coast Salish territory. But a hundred years ago, the woolly dog quietly vanished. Why? Today, the only known pelt of this extinct breed is in the collections of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and it might hold some answers. Through collaborate research combining Western science with Indigenous knowledge, we delve into this animal's genome to learn the real story of the woolly dog's disappearance. Guests:Audrey Lin, evolutionary molecular biologist, research associate at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and postdoctoral scholar at the American Museum of Natural HistoryLogan Kistler, curator of archaeobotany and archaeogenomics in the anthropology department of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa, master spinner who studies traditional Salish textiles as a research associate at Vancouver Island University and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural HistorySteven Point / Xwĕ lī qwĕl tĕl, grand chief of the Stó:lō Tribal Council, chancellor of the University of British Columbia, former lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, retired judge, and member of the Skowkale First NationDebra Sparrow / θəliχʷəlʷət, weaver, artist and knowledge-keeper from Musqueam.
