Laura Flanders & Friends was there, in Chicago (just days after the Democratic National Convention) for a live taping with three renowned organizers: Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and author of “Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance” and co-founder of The Red Nation, an organization dedicated to Native liberation; Rachel Herzing, an organizer, activist, and advocate fighting the violence of surveillance, policing and imprisonment and co-author of “How to Abolish Prisons: Lessons from the Movement Against Imprisonment”; and Harsha Walia, co-founder of No One Is Illegal, an anti-colonial migrant justice organization and author of the books “Undoing Border Imperialism” and “Border and Rule”. As you'll hear, they're not counting on politicians to step into office and grant their wishes. They're focusing beyond the election cycle. Join us as we envision a liberated future and explore all that it takes to get there. Plus Laura's commentary.“. . . Having Deb Haaland [serve as] the Secretary of Interior, has been good in the sense that we've gotten these really amazing reports on things that we've already known, that there was this massive systematic genocide of Native children . . . But at the same time, her department has overseen more oil and gas leases on federal lands than the Trump administration, and that's not an indictment of her as a person. That's an indictment of that department . . .” - Nick Estes“. . . We know every single fall in an election season that Black women get told we're the saviors of the entire world and everything relies on us, even though the rest of the time it's very happily that we're kind of left to die, quite literally. We are given this message on a regular basis, and I don't know what to say to people about that. The policies of the so-called United States are not life-affirming policies for Black people, for imprisoned people, and for people living as women.” - Rachel Herzing“I just think that the strongest counterforce to fascism and anti-colonialism is an organized Left. It is not a candidate . . . Sometimes I think we get fixated on what candidates will or won't do, and we don't think about the conditions that the Left can create to actually make those possibilities happen . . .” - Harsha WaliaGuests:•.

“Are Humans Parasites sowing our own hunger, or fruit, gifts from Earth to our future? Is the edge of our lives, civilization, and species a cliff to catastrophe or a bridge to transformation?” These are the words, questions, and motivations of poet and gardener, Frederick Livingston author of Trees are Bridges to the Sky a collection of essays and poems exploring the human/climate connection. I first met Frederick when I served as keynote speaker for the National Native Seed Conference earlier this year. The conference was kicked off by an address from Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, and another by Tracy Stone-Manning, Director of the Bureau of Land Management, both of whom preceded me on the first day.  The two days of events were punctuated throughout by readings from Frederick – the Conference poet. The fact that this conference of policy makers and advocates across such a range had a Conference Poet at all, says a lot. The fact that their chosen poet was Frederick, says even more.   Frederick has studied and practiced sustainable agriculture, experiential education, and peace building across the world and he joins us this week to share more.

J-3 avant les élections au Mexique. Scrutin pour choisir les gouverneurs, les députés, les sénateurs et le président… ou plus probablement la présidente. La campagne a pris fin hier (29 mai 2024) et les candidats ont jeté leurs dernières forces dans la bataille, lors de leurs derniers meetings. Xochitl Galvez veut encore croire à une victoire, même si la grande favorite des sondages est Claudia Sheinbaum. L'ancienne maire de Mexico et dauphine du chef de l'État sortant, semble bien partie pour être élue dimanche (2 juin 2024). Le fait que la campagne soit dominée par des femmes mobilise les Mexicaines, fait de leur sort un enjeu central de l'élection. Le Mexique est encore un pays très machiste et violent à l'égard des femmes. On déplore 10 féminicides par jour. La cause des femmes au cœur de la campagne, c'est un dossier de notre correspondante, Gwendolina Duval.Au Panama, des déplacés climatiques déménagentC'est une première en Amérique latine. Comme le raconte La Estrella, les 1.200 membres de la communauté indigène qui habitent sur l'île de Gardi Sugdub, dans les Caraïbes, ont reçu hier (29 mai 2024) les clés de leurs nouvelles maisons situées dans un lotissement spécialement construit pour eux sur le continent, à un quart d'heure en bateau, précise La Prensa. Ils s'y installeront en début de semaine prochaine, laissant derrière eux leur île menacée par la montée des eaux et aussi, au moins en partie, leur style de vie. Ils en ont bien conscience, a expliqué Erick Morales, l'un de ces déplacés climatiques, à La Estrella. « On s'y fera », dit-il. « Nous sommes très émus ». « On sait que ce ne sera pas facile mais ma femme est très heureuse », abonde Francisco Salazar. Lent retour à la normale à Port-au-Prince« La vie reprend doucement son cours », nous raconte Franz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste. L'aéroport a rouvert ; certaines écoles aussi. L'état d'urgence et le couvre-feu restent toutefois en vigueur. Surtout, les décisions importantes pour le quotidien des Haïtiens tardent à être prises et les choses traînent sur le plan institutionnel. « Le nom du nouveau Premier ministre intérimaire n'a toujours pas été publié au Journal officiel et on attend la composition du gouvernement », détaille le journaliste. « On a le sentiment que les autorités ne se préoccupent pas du sort de la population », regrette-t-il.Révélations du Washington Post sur les abus subis par les enfants amérindiens dans des pensionnatsLe Washington Postpublieune enquête remarquable, superbement illustrée par des photos saisissantes, sur les pensionnats dans lesquels ont vécu les enfants des peuples autochtones de1819 jusqu'à1969. Les journalistes du quotidien ont travaillé pendant un an et recueilli de très nombreux témoignages de victimes, comme celui de Jim LaBelle, 77 ans, membre d'une tribu d'Alaska, qui avait interdiction d'utiliser son nom de naissance, son nom indien, dans l'école où il a été envoyé à l'âge de 8 ans. Il était appelé par un numéro. Numéro qui changeait chaque année. Autre moyen de « faire sortir l'Indien » qui était en eux, comme on disait à l'époque : les enfants n'avaient pas le droit de parler leur langue. Ils étaient battus s'ils le faisaient, raconte le journal. On leur coupait également leurs longs cheveux.Durant 150 ans, des dizaines de milliers d'enfants ont été envoyés dans plus de 500 internats à travers le pays, la majorité gérés ou financés par le gouvernement américain qui voulait, donc, éradiquer la culture amérindienne. Une centaine de ces écoles étaient gérées par l'Église catholique. Des pensionnats dans lesquels de nombreuses violences et agressions sexuelles ont eu lieu. Attouchements, viols, avortements forcés... Et comme souvent dans ce genre d'affaires, les religieux faisaient pression sur les enfants pour qu'ils se taisent. « Il a dit que si jamais je le disais à quelqu'un, j'irais en enfer », se souvient l'un d'entre eux. » « Une fois, il m'a mise dans un cercueil et j'ai cru que j'allais mourir », raconte une ancienne pensionnaire.Le Washington Post a identifié au moins 122 agresseurs parmi les religieux et plus de 1.000 victimes. Mais le chiffre réel est sans doute bien plus important. Problème, souligne le quotidien, le gouvernement américain, contrairement au Canada, ne fait pas assez d'efforts pour faire toute la lumière sur ce qui s'est passé. Il y a bien une enquête lancée par le ministère de l'Intérieur, dirigé par Deb Haaland, première Amérindienne à avoir accédé à une fonction ministérielle aux États-Unis. Mais son ordre de mission est assez restreint. Comme l'explique le Washington Post, les survivants de ces pensionnats de l'horreur veulent que « le Congrès crée une commission de vérité et de guérison ». Ils réclament également des excuses de la part du Pape et du président américain.Le journal de la 1èreDepuis un an, les températures s'affolent en Guadeloupe.

On today's show, we start off Friday as we usually do, by going through Tara Bull's Top 10 Headlines the media (likely) didn't tell you this week. It's a great way to hit several topics in rapid fire. There is a new bill that has been quietly pushed into committee called The Courage to Serve Act. This bill would provide illegals who choose to serve in the military, an automatic pathway to amnesty and full citizenship. The “hush money” case in NYC is becoming more of a salacious tabloid exercise rather than trying to prove any criminality. In fact, we have yet to hear a single element of the prosecution's case that in anyway calls Donald Trump into question. Even a secret recording made by Michael Cohen doesn't do anything but question why Alvin Bragg thought he even had a case. Speaking of Bragg, it seems he may not prosecute any of the criminals arrested on the campus of Columbia University. He's probably too buys conjuring up more imaginary laws to try in court. An 800 page report from Congress reveals how the Biden White House was heavily involved in pushing censorship across Big Tech and social media. I breakdown just a few of the items that have been document from their hearings. Iran is opening one of it's Universities to the protesters and professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion. What a glorious opportunity for them to go from playing at being terrorists, to actually surrounding themselves with the real thing. I then highlight an interesting exchange between Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior. Her incompetency and corruption is appalling. It's then followed up with a bite from Jared Bernstein, Chair of Economic Advisers, the main agency advising Biden on economic policy. To say he beclowns himself doesn't go far enough. Finally, in the fight for girls and women in this country, the five middle school girls in WV have already won their suit and will not be told they have to sit out the rest of the season for refusing to compete against a boy. And Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), is the next governor to say her state will not adhere to Biden's Title IX abomination.

Secretary Deb Haaland made history when she became the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary. She is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th generation New Mexican. Secretary Haaland grew up in a military family; her father was a 30-year combat Marine who was awarded the Silver Star Medal for saving six lives in Vietnam, and her mother is a Navy veteran who served as a federal employee for 25 years at the Bureau of Indian Affairs. As a military child, she attended 13 public schools before graduating from Highland High School in Albuquerque. As a single mother, Secretary Haaland volunteered at her child's pre-school to afford early childhood education. Like many parents, she had to rely on food stamps at times as a single parent, lived paycheck-to-paycheck, and struggled to put herself through college. At the age of 28, Haaland enrolled at the University of New Mexico (UNM) where she earned a Bachelor's degree in English and later earned her J.D. from UNM Law School. Secretary Haaland and her child, who also graduated from the University of New Mexico, are still paying off student loans. Secretary Haaland ran her own small business producing and canning Pueblo Salsa, served as a tribal administrator at San Felipe Pueblo, and became the first woman elected to the Laguna Development Corporation Board of Directors, overseeing business operations of the second largest tribal gaming enterprise in New Mexico. She successfully advocated for the Laguna Development Corporation to create policies and commitments to environmentally friendly business practices. Throughout her career in public service, Secretary Haaland has broken barriers and opened the doors of opportunity for future generations. After running for New Mexico Lieutenant Governor in 2014, Secretary Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected to lead a State Party. She is one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress. In Congress, she focused on environmental justice, climate change, missing and murdered indigenous women, and family-friendly policies.

Healing through talking: Oral history project looks at Native American boarding schools

CN2Go Host Kiersten Edgett: For nearly a hundred years, starting in 1869, Native American children were removed from their homes and sent to boarding schools. Now, an oral history project by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has been launched to raise awareness about a program that affected tens of thousands of Native Americans. Reporter Kenny Rasmussen has more on the story. RASMUSSEN: The upcoming NABS exhibit focuses on educating the public about the plight of Native Americans in the boarding schools designed to “kill the Indian” in them. The project's launch is part of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative introduced by Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland. Haaland uses her platform to raise awareness of the Native American boarding schools and their impact, having appeared on programs such as PBS NewsHour and the History Channel. She often uses her grandparents as an example of people who were forcibly assimilated. Around 0:15 “When my maternal grandparents were only eight years old they were stolen from their parents' culture and communities, and forced to live in boarding schools until the age of 13. Many children like them never made it back to their homes.” RASMUSSEN: Haaland believes the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative will raise awareness and have a transformational impact on future generations. NABS Oral History Project Senior Director Melissa Powless notes that the organization was selected to head the program due to its track record of interviewing survivors of boarding schools in order to create and preserve historical records. Around 1:45 “The amazing thing is that NABS is an organization that does this work already and approaches the interviewing and a healing centered approach to really care for our relatives and the survivors of Indian boarding schools.” Powless says that oral history has had an importance in indigenous communities as it is a way storytellers and listeners can connect. Studies have shown the importance of sharing experiences and stories, especially in familial settings. RASMUSSEN: Powless says the impact of boarding schools was an intergenerational trauma that can be linked to a lot of the modern-day social, health, and economic disparities native people deal with. Boarding school intergenerational trauma can manifest in various ways. Elena Selestewa, a historian who gathers knowledge regarding the Phoenix Indian School and its students, noted that her grandmother was affected by such trauma. During her childhood, her grandmother washed out her mouth with a bar of soap when she said a bad word. She later discovered this was a way her grandmother was disciplined at the boarding school when she had difficulty speaking words in English. The process of interviewing survivors is complicated for a variety of reasons linked to the trauma and in some cases the age of the survivors. Powless notes that a lot of survivors want to share their experiences but have found themselves unable to for various reasons. Around 10:55 “One of the main ones that I often think about is that a lot of our survivors do share that they don't want their families to hear about what happened to them because they don't want to re-traumatize or hurt them.” RASMUSSEN: There is also mental health assistance and medicine available to aid in the healing-based approach NABS intends to have with their interviews. Powless says the staff is always prepared to have the support close by so it can be there if needed. Powless mentions that while the final blueprint of the project is yet to be determined, the recorded interviews will be a milestone that will ensure the oral history project's success.

Earlier this year, she was appointed by the Governor of Colorado to serve on the Colorado Water Conservation Board, making her the first-ever Tribal member of the board. - Lorelei was born and raised on the Southern Ute Reservation, which is located in the far southwestern corner of Colorado. From the very beginning, water has played a central role in Lorelei's life– much of her childhood was spent without running water and access to drinking water continues to be a challenge on the Reservation to this day. Much of Lorelei's early career was spent working in various businesses, including banking and energy, all while being a mother and raising four children. In 2015, she was elected to the Tribal Council, which began this new phase of her life and career– a phase devoted to serving her Tribal Community, as well as the communities, landscapes, and natural resources of the American West. - I've been hearing such great things about Lorelei for years, so I was honored to have the opportunity to chat with her on the podcast.

I know vaguely that there is skiing out West, and that it is big. But I'm thinking Colorado, maybe Wyoming. California? California is Beach Boys and palm trees. Surfboards and San Diego. I have no idea that California has mountains, let alone ski resorts. Anticipating the skis, boots, and poles that I've requested as the totality of my Christmas list, I pick up the December 1994 issue of Skiing (RIP), and read the following by Kristen Ulmer:Nothing is random. You live, die, pay taxes, move to Squaw. It's the place you see in all the ski flicks, with the groovy attitudes, toasty-warm days, wild lines, and that enormous lake. It's California! Squallywood! It's the one place where every born-to-ski skier, at some point or other, wants to move to; where people will crawl a thousand miles over broken glass for the chance to ski freezer burn. The one place to make it as a “professional” skier.My friend Kent Kreitler, a phenomenal skier who doesn't live anywhere in particular, finally announced, “I think I'm move to Squaw.”“So Kent,” I said, “let me tell you what the rest of your life will be like.” And I laid it out for him. …You're curious to find out if you're as good a skier as you think. So you find a group of locals and try to keep up. On powder days the excitement builds like a pressure cooker. Move fast, because it only takes an hour for the entire mountain to get tracked up. There's oodles of cliff jumps and psycho lines. You'd better just do it, because within seconds, 10 other yahoos will have already jumped and tracked out the landing pad.If you're a truly amazing skier (anything else inspires only polite smiles and undisguised yawns), then you land clean on jumps and shred through anything with style. If not, the hyperactivity of the place will motivate you to ski the same lines anyway. Either way is fulfilling.Occasionally a random miracle occurs, and the patrol opens the famed Palisades on Squaw Peak. On those days you don't bother with a warm-up run – just hike 15 minutes from the top of Siberia Express chair and coolly launch some hospital air off Main Chute.There are other places to express your extreme nature. When everything else gets tracked, you hike up Granite Peak for its steep chutes. If the snowpack is good, you climb 10 minutes from the top of the KT-22 chair to Eagle's Nest. And jumping the Fingers off KT-22 seems particularly heroic: Not only do you need speed to clear the sloping rocks, but it's right (ahem) under the lift.At the conclusion of that ski season, teenage Stuart Winchester, a novice skier who lived in his parents' basement, announced, “I think I'm moving to Squaw.” “No D*****s,” his mom said, “you're going to college.”Which doesn't mean I ever forgot that high-energy introduction to California extreme. I re-read that article dozens of times (you can read the full bit here). Until my brain had been coded to regard the ski resort now known as Palisades Tahoe (see why?) as one of the spiritual and cultural homelands of U.S. lift-served skiing.Ulmer's realm, hyperactive as it was, looks pokey by today's standards. An accompanying essay in that same issue of Skiing, written by Eric Hanson, describes a very different resort than the one you'll encounter today:Locals seem proud that there's so little development here. The faithful will say it's because everything that matters is up on the mountain itself: bottomless steeps, vast acreage, 33 lifts and no waiting. America's answer to the wide-open ski circuses of Europe. After all these years the mountain is still uncrowded, except on weekends when people pile in from the San Francisco Bay area in droves. Squaw is unflashy, underbuilt, and seems entirely indifferent to success. The opposite of what you would expect one of America's premier resorts to be.Apparently, “flashy” included, you know, naming trails. Check out this circa 1996 trailmap, which shows lift names, but only a handful of runs:Confusion reigned, according to Hanson:Every day, we set off armed with our trail map and the printed list of the day's groomed runs in search of intermediate terrain – long steep runs groomed for cruising, unmogulled routes down from the top of the black-diamond chairs. It wasn't easy. The grooming sheet named runs which weren't marked on the trail map. The only trail named on the map is The Mountain Run, an expressway that drops 2,000 feet from Gold Coast to the village. And most of the biggest verticals were on the chairs – KT-22, Cornice II, Headwall, Silverado, Broken Arrow – marked “experts only.” We didn't relish the idea of going up an expert chair looking for a particular groomed route down, if the groomed route wasn't to be found. I began feeling nostalgic for all those totem poles of green and blue and black trail signs that clutter the landscapes of other ski resorts, but at least keep the skier oriented.I asked a patroller where I could find some of the runs on the groomed list. He wasn't sure. He told me that the grooming crew and the ski patrol didn't have the same names for many of the runs.Just amazing. While Palisades Tahoe is now a glimmering model of a modern American ski resort, that raw-and-rowdy past is still sewn into the DNA of this fascinating place.What we talked aboutTahoe's megaseason; corn harvest; skiing into July and… maybe beyond; why Alpine will be the later operator this summer; why the base-to-base gondola ceased operation on April 30; snow exhaustion; Cali spring skiing; reminiscing on Pacific Northwest ski culture; for the love of teaching and turning; skiing as adventure; from 49 Degrees North to Vail to Aspen to Tahoe; Tahoe culture shock; Palisades' vast and varied ski school; reflections on the name change a year and a half later; going deep on the base-to-base gondola; the stark differences between the cultural vibe on the Alpine Meadows and Palisades sides of the resort and whether the gondola has compromised those distinctions; why the gondola took more than a decade to build and what finally pushed it through; White Wolf, the property that hosts an unfinished chairlift between Palisades and Alpine; how the gondola took cars off the road; why the base-to-base gondola didn't overload KT-22's terrain; the Mothership; the new Red Dog sixer; why Palisades re-oriented the lift to run lower to the ground; why the lift was only loading four passengers at a time for large parts of the season; snowmaking as fire-suppression system; how Palisades and Mammoth assisted Sierra-at-Tahoe's recovery; candidates for lift upgrades at Alpine Meadows; “fixed-grip lifts are awesome”; an Alpine masterplan refresh incoming; which lift could be next in line for upgrades on the Palisades side; the “biggest experience bust on the Palisades side of the resort”; why Silverado and Granite Chief will likely never be upgraded to detachable lifts; why the Silverado terrain is so rarely open and what it takes to make it live; whether Palisades Tahoe could ever leave the unlimited-with-blackouts tier on the Ikon Base Pass; and paid parking incoming.             Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThis was the second time I've featured Palisades Tahoe on The Storm Skiing Podcast. The first was a conversation with then-resort president Ron Cohen in September 2020, shortly after the ski area announced that it would ditch the “Squaw Valley” name. We spent the entire 49-minute conversation discussing that name change. At the time, the podcast was mostly focused on New England and New York, and a deep exploration of a distant resort would have been a little off-brand.But The Storm has evolved, and my coverage now firmly includes the State of California. Thank goodness. What an incredible ski state. So many huge resorts, so much wide-open terrain, so much snow, so much energy. The Northeast tugs skiing from the earth through technology and willpower, pasting white streaks over brown land, actualizing the improbable in a weird algorithm that only pencils out because 56 million people camp out within driving distance. California is different. California delivers skiing because it's lined top to bottom with giant mountains that summon ungodly oceans of snow from the clouds. It just happens Brah. There aren't even that many ski areas here – just 28, or 29 if you count the uber-dysfunctional Mt. Waterman – but there seems to be one everywhere you need one – LA (Big Bear, Baldy, Mountain High), Fresno (China Peak), Modesto (Dodge Ridge), Stockton (Bear Valley), Sacramento and the Bay Area (all of Tahoe). Among these are some of the largest and most-developed ski areas in America.And none is bigger than Palisades Tahoe. Well, Heavenly was until this year, as I outlined earlier this week, but the base-to-base gondola changed all that. The ski area formerly known as Squaw Valley and the ski area still-known as Alpine Meadows are now officially one interconnected ski goliath. That's a big deal.Add a new six-pack (Red Dog), a sufficient period to reflect on the name change, a historic winter, and the ongoing impacts of the Covid-driven outdoor boom and the Ikon Pass, and it was a perfect time to check in on one of Alterra's trophy properties.Why you should ski Palisades TahoeOne of the most oft-dished compliments to emphasize the big-mountain cred of a North American ski resort is that it “feels like Europe.” But there just aren't that many ski areas around these parts worthy of that description. Big Sky, with its dramatic peaks and super-duper out-of-base bubble lifts. Snowbird-Alta, with their frenzied scale and wild terrain and big-box tram (though they get way too much snow to mistake for Europe). Whistler, with its village and polyglot vibe. And then there's Palisades Tahoe:Nowhere else in America do you stand in the base area and wonder if you should hop on the tram or the gondola or the other big-gondola-thingy-that-you're-not-quite-sure-what-it-is (the funitel) or the most iconic chairlift in the country (KT-22). Or Wa She Shu. Or Exhibition or Red Dog. And go up and up and then you never need to see the base area again. Up to Headwall or Gold Coast or so help-you-God Silverado if it's open. Or up and over to Alpine and another whole ski area that used to be a giant ski resort but is now just a small part of a giant-er ski resort.It's too much to describe or even really try to. In our conversation, Byrne called Palisades a “super-regional” resort. One that most people drive to, rather than fly to. I'm telling you this one is worth the flight. From anywhere. For anyone. Just go.Podcast NotesOn the name changeThe last time I interviewed Byrne, it was for an article I wrote on the name change in 2021:The name change, promised more than a year ago, acknowledges that many Native Americans consider the word “squaw” to be a racist and sexist slur.“Anyone who spends time at these mountains can feel the passion of our dedicated skiers and riders,” said Ron Cohen, former president and COO of Palisades Tahoe, who moved into the same position at Alterra's Mammoth Mountain in June. “It's electric, exciting, reverential, and incredibly motivating. However, no matter how deep, meaningful, and positive these feelings are and no matter how much our guests don't intend to offend anyone, it is not enough to justify continuing to operate under a name that is deeply offensive to indigenous people across North America.”The former resort name was perhaps the most prominent modern use of the word “squaw” in America, skiing's equivalent to the Cleveland Indians or Washington Redskins, two professional sports teams that are also in the process of replacing their names (Cleveland will become the Guardians, while Washington will announce its new name early next year). The update broadcasts a powerful signal to an American mainstream that still largely regards the word “squaw” as an innocuous synonym for a Native American woman.“We know the founders of our resort had no intention of causing offense in choosing this name for the resort, nor have any of our patrons who have spoken this word over the last seven decades,” said Cohen. “But as our society evolves, we must acknowledge the need for change when we are confronted with harsh realities. Having our name be associated with pain and dehumanization is contrary to our goal of making the outdoors a welcoming space for all people. I feel strongly that we have been given the rare opportunity to effect lasting, positive change; to find a new name that reflects our core values, storied past and respect for all those who have enjoyed this land.”It's a long piece, and my opinion on it stands, but I'll reiterate this bit:I realize that many of us learned something different in grade school. I am one of them. Until last year, I did not know that Native Americans considered this word to be offensive. But the resort, after extensive research and consultation with the local Washoe Tribe, made a good case that the name was an anachronism.Cohen came on my podcast to further elaborate. The arguments made sense. What I had learned in grade-school was wrong. “Squaw” was not a word that belonged on the masthead of a major ski resort.The immediate reaction that this is some PC move is flimsy and hardly worth addressing, but OK: this is not a redefining of history to cast a harmless thing as nefarious. Rather, it is an example of a long-ostracized group finding its voice and saying, “Hey, this is what this actually means – can you rethink how you're using this word?”If you want to scream into the wind about this, be my guest. The name change is final. The place will still have plenty of skiers. If you don't want to be one of them, there are plenty of other places to ski, around Tahoe and elsewhere. But what this means for the ski terrain is exactly nothing at all. The resort, flush with capital from Alterra, is only getting bigger and better. Sitting out that evolution for what is a petty protest is anyone's mistake to make.“We want to be on the right side of history on this,” said Byrne. “While this may take some getting used to, our name change was an important initiative for our company and community. At the end of the day, ‘squaw' is a hurtful word, and we are not hurtful people. We have a well-earned reputation as a progressive resort at the forefront of ski culture, and progress cannot happen without change.”Apparently there are still a handful of Angry Ski Bros who occasionally track Byrne down on social media and yell about this. Presumably in all-caps. Sometimes I think about what life would be like right now had the commercial internet failed to take off and honestly it's hard to conclude that it wouldn't be a hell of a lot better than whatever version of reality we've found ourselves in.On federal place names eliminating the use of the word “squaw”Byrne mentioned that the federal government had also moved to eliminate the word “squaw” from its place names. Per a New York Times article last March:The map dots, resembling a scattergram of America, point to snow-covered pinnacles, remote islands and places in between.Each of the 660 points, shown on maps of federal lands and waterways, includes the word “squaw” in its name, a term Native Americans regard as a racist and misogynistic slur.Now the Interior Department, led by Deb Haaland, the first Native American cabinet secretary, is taking steps to strip the word from mountains, rivers, lakes and other geographic sites and has solicited input from tribes on new names for the landmarks.A task force created by the department will submit the new names for final approval from the Board on Geographic Names, the federal body that standardizes American place names. The National Park Service was ordered to take similar steps.By September, the Biden administration had completed the project. The word persists in non-federally owned place names, however. One ski area – Big Squaw in Maine – still officially carries the name, even though the state was among the first to ban the use of the word “squaw,” back in 2000. While a potential new ownership group had vowed to change the ski area's name, they ultimately backed out of the deal. As long as the broken-down, barely functional ski area remains under the ownership of professional knucklehead and bootleg timber baron James Confalone, the ski area – and the volunteer group that keeps the one remaining chairlift spinning – is stuck with the name.On White Wolf If you've ever looked off the backside of KT-22, you've no doubt noticed the line of chairlift towers standing empty on the mountain:This is White Wolf, a long-envisioned but as-yet-incomplete private resort owned by a local gent named Troy Caldwell, who purchased the land in 1989 for $400,000. Byrne and I discuss this property briefly on the podcast. The Palisades Tahoe blog posted a terrific history of Caldwell and White Wolf last year:So, they shifted to the idea of a private ski area, named White Wolf. In 2000, Placer County issued Caldwell a permit to build his own chairlift. A local homeowners' association later sued the county for issuing him that permit, but, in 2005, the lift towers and cables went in, but construction slowed on the private chairlift as Caldwell weighed his options for a future interconnect between the resorts. To date, the chairlift has yet to operate—but that may be changing if Caldwell's long-term plan comes to fruition.In 2016, Caldwell submitted plans to Placer County for a 275-acre private-resort housing project on his land that would include the construction of dozens of fire-safe custom homes, as well employee housing units, a pool, an ice-skating rink, and two private chairlifts, including the one that's already constructed.After the Palisades Tahoe resorts came under the same ownership in 2012, the plan to physically link them has now become reality. Caldwell is the missing piece enabling the long-awaited gondola to connect the two mountains over his land. Roughly half of the Base to Base Gondola and its mid-stations are on property owned by the Caldwells.“Sure, we could have sold the land for $50 million and moved to Tahiti,” Caldwell says with a laugh. “But we made the decision that this is our life, this is what we wanted to do. We wanted to finish the dream, connect the ski areas and do what we initially set out to do.”Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the general public will ever be able to ski White Wolf.On Alpine Meadows' masterplanByrne and I discuss several proposed but unbuilt lifts at Alpine Meadows, including the Rollers lift, shown here on the 2015 masterplan:And here, just for fun, is an old proposed line for the gondola, which would not have crossed the KT-22 Express:On Sierra-at-Tahoe and the Caldor FireI discussed this one in my recent article for the Heavenly pod.Parting shotThe Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.
