Chad and Mike invite Dr. David Lewis, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and an anthropologist from Oregon State University, onto the podcast. David talks with us about what this land looked like and how land was managed for thousands of years.Also check us out on social media.

“Hands of the Ancestors” is an exhibit currently taking place at Linfield University’s Miller Fine Arts Center in McMinnville. It showcases the work of Stephanie Craig, an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and a seventh-generation basket weaver and artist. Oregon ArtsWatch recently profiled Craig and her exhibit, which is on display until May 2.  Craig spends nine months of the year locating and harvesting traditional materials such as hazel, rushes, bigleaf maple and western red cedar from across the state. She uses them to shape baskets and other woven items with the aid of tools like an antler awl and kupin, a traditional digging stick. But “Hands of the Ancestors” offers visitors more than just a window into Craig’s skills and artistry. It opens up a bridge linking the past to the present and future with an array of family photos and texts honoring the elders who taught Craig the Kalapuya tradition of basket weaving and the new generations Craig teaches today, including her 4-year-old daughter. Craig joins us to talk about the exhibit and the messages of resilience and Native pride embedded in her work.  

The new exhibit at Chachalu Museum and Cultural Center in Grand Ronde features the work of queer indigenous artists reflecting on the role of queerness in indigenous cultures. The exhibit was curated by Grand Ronde artists Anthony Hudson and Felix Furby who created another exhibit two years ago based on the life of Shumkin, a 19th-century Two-Spirit Atfalati Kalapuya healer. That exhibit set out to explore the ways that queerness has always been a part of the Indigenous history, but assimilation had tried to sever the community’s connection to it. This newer exhibit discusses the present and future of queer indigeneity as well. Hudson and Furby join us to talk about the exhibit, along with Steph Littlebird, one of the featured artists. 

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/670   Presented By: Togens Fly Shop, FishHound Expeditions, TroutRoutes, Angler's Coffee Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors       Josh Mills, a seasoned expert from the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers team, as well as a board member of the Wild Steelhead Coalition and an accomplished steelhead fly tier, is set to guide us through the Clearwater River and public waters and lands. Today, you'll learn how to adjust your reel technique for enhanced stealth. We'll also provide an update on the status of the Lower Snake River dams and their current developments. Additionally, you'll discover what a public lands yard sale entails. Moreover, we'll analyze a significant western stream to improve your success on the water this year. Together, we'll delve deep into the topics of steelhead fishing and conservation. Let's begin our journey. Episode Chapters with Josh Mills on Public Waters and Lands 3:19 - We talk about our top destinations for steelhead fishing. Josh feels fortunate to fish in local rivers like the Clearwater and Salmon, but he reminisces about a memorable trip to the Skeena region in 2012 and plans to return in 2025. He also dreams of fishing in Northern California, inspired by historical figures in the steelhead community. 12:15 - Josh discusses his fishing strategy, focusing on the Clearwater River. He fishes the Clearwater from August through September, as fish from different basins, including the Snake and Grand Ronde Rivers, seek the cold water as a thermal refuge. He notes the Clearwater can be a challenging but rewarding river to fish. Once the thermal block breaks, fish often return to the Snake River, and Josh shifts his focus to the Grand Ronde system. 16:11 - We ask Josh for advice on fly patterns for steelhead fishing on the Deschutes River in October. He responds by emphasizing the unpredictable nature of steelhead fishing, suggesting that success often depends on the angler's confidence and intuition rather than specific fly patterns. He explains that steelhead are curious and might bite at almost anything due to aggression, predatory instincts, or curiosity. 23:31 - We dig into his involvement with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) and the Wild Steelhead Coalition. He initially got involved by running fundraisers and joining the board of the latter, which led him deeper into conservation efforts. He started volunteering with BHA in 2015, an organization dedicated to protecting public lands and waters in North America. Josh felt compelled to protect these lands, recognizing their importance for recreation and conservation. 28:57 - We get into the complexities of public land and water access laws in the United States, particularly focusing on differences between states. Josh elaborates on the varied stream access laws across states, highlighting how states like Washington, Idaho, and Montana have more permissive laws, while Colorado and Utah face significant challenges. 42:37 - We discuss Josh's experiences and growth in fly fishing. Josh emphasizes the continuous nature of learning and improving in fishing. He talks about the technical skills involved, such as casting and line management, and how observing skilled anglers like Brian Chou and others has inspired him. Josh admires their proficiency in handling challenging conditions and accurately predicting fish locations. Josh acknowledges that despite trying to replicate the techniques of skilled anglers, there are subtle differences in execution that impact results. He emphasizes the importance of learning from others and adapting various techniques, such as transitioning between different fly lines. 45:58 - We compare fishing the Clearwater River versus in the Deschutes. Josh highlights the former's larger size, which offers more room for casting and allows for different fishing techniques. He notes that unlike the Deschutes, where sun orientation impacts fishing strategies, the Clearwater allows for dry line fishing throughout winter. He also mentions the genetic traits of Clearwater fish that make them more likely to rise through the water. Additionally, he compares the river sizes and flow variability, explaining how the Clearwater's dam-controlled nature affects fishing conditions. Despite the challenges, Josh appreciates the unique fishing opportunities both rivers offer, with each having its own "secrets" and characteristics. 49:07 - Josh gives some valuable tips on fishing for steelhead in Clearwater. He suggests visiting the Red Shed Fly Shop for advice and emphasizes the importance of focusing on manageable sections of large rivers. He explains that understanding where fish rest and conserving energy is crucial. For rods, Josh notes that it varies with the season. He enjoys using a 15-foot rod with a 60-foot line but adapts his technique based on conditions. 54:39 - We discuss the dynamics of fly fishing, particularly focusing on the experience of fishing with highly skilled casters. Josh admits he is an average caster but values learning from experts like Calvin Fuller, and Brian Chou, who demonstrate exceptional skill and understanding of the craft. He recounts experiences at a steelhead camp, highlighting how observing and learning from others is invaluable. 58:30 - Josh shares his passion for tying steelhead flies, which he considers his favorite due to their intricate construction. He emphasizes the importance of learning from various resources and incorporating techniques from different fly-tying experts to develop his unique style. Josh ties steelhead flies year-round, but also enjoys crafting flies for warm-water fish like smallmouth bass. He admits he doesn't enjoy tying dry flies unless they involve fun materials like foam. While he can tie Catskill-style flies, he prefers tying streamers and relishes the opportunity to learn new techniques, such as tying flat wings for striped bass or preparing flies for exotic fishing trips, which he finds particularly rewarding. 1:01:29 - He talks about the Wild Steelhead Coalition. Josh explains that the organization is mainly volunteer-run, with one small contractor. Despite its size, the coalition is highly effective in advocating for steelhead conservation, engaging in fundraising, public education, and advocacy efforts. Josh mentions a recent significant article in the Seattle Times that highlights their work, illustrating the coalition's impact despite its resources. 1:05:20 - We briefly talk about the status and future of the Snake River dams. Josh emphasizes the ongoing efforts to educate and build coalitions regarding the dams, expressing that everyone affected should be considered. He highlights the historical use of the dams for barge traffic and the declining export traffic on the river. He mentions recent news indicating salmon are passing above dam sites for the first time in a century, suggesting the potential benefits of dam removal on salmon populations. 1:08:23 - We ask Josh about that time when he worked at a radio after college.  1:13:08 - Josh shares that he used to play baseball as a pitcher.    Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/670

If you're not into gambling in any form, is there any reason to visit a casino? Oregon's casinos may not have the same allure as our beautiful natural attractions, but they remain among the most popular destinations in the state.

Jewlery and beaded items made by Grand Ronde Tribal members sits in a display box next to the cashier for interested buyers. On another wall in the gift shop offers a rotating display of visual artwork and drawings from regional artists for interested buyers. Although there are several Tribal artists from the Grand Ronde Tribe, none of thier visual artwork was available in their own Tribal gift shop. That was until the casino noticed TwahnaCreation.

Tribal member Amanda Freeman has been working on a photography project for several years, with the goal of raising awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous people. In the last few months it has reached new heights with the help of the Tribe's Great Circle Recovery Operations Director Jennifer Worth. Together, along with collaboration from Spirit Mountain Casino, they installed a new billboard along Highway 18 with the words, “How many must go missing before you start to listen?” Smoke Signals talks with Freeman about the story behind this billboard and what she hopes to achieve.

The Grande Ronde Valley was a little pocket of temperate, well-watered land, tucked into some of the most inhospitable territory on the trail, was a real lifesaver for many an emigrant. But, that didn't stop them from griping about the prices they were charged ....

Until this month, one of Colorado's highest peaks was named for the former state governor who fostered and supported what became known as the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864. It took years of pressure and an awareness campaign to get the name changed. Still, support is not universal. We'll get the story on changing the Mount Evans name to Mount Blue Sky - and some updates on other important place name changes.

A conflict over fishing access has some of Oregon’s federally recognized tribes at odds with both each other and the state’s Fish & Wildlife Commission. The commission voted last month to allow the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to issue hunting and fishing licenses to its own members. It’s approved similar agreements with four other tribes, but the wording of Grand Ronde’s agreement has members of the Yakama, Warm Springs, Nez Perce and Umatilla tribes worried that they could lose access to fishing at Willamette Falls.  Joining us to explain what’s at stake and what comes next are Karina Brown, managing editor of Underscore News, and Nika Bartoo-Smith, a joint reporter for Underscore and ICT.

This conversation with Kevin Simmons was so beautiful to me. In fact, we talk about beauty a few times, but especially at the end when we talk about the Tribe of Israel. Kevin shares how he didn't always have an easy-go with the melding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his heritage--until he saw it! When it all came together for him, he knew it was true. And now he shares that with friends, with clients, with family, with everyone. Sometimes he uses words. But probably more often he lives it, like the wonderful influential people in his life lived their testimonies. It felt pretty special to be included in his list of answers for when he asked Heavenly Father what to do next. But it wasn't just me he was supposed to share his testimony with--it's you too.

For Native folx, raising public awareness about the importance of hair is an ongoing struggle. Some North Carolina families are fighting a school policy that says their first graders must cut their hair. Their parents say the school is forcing the boys to give up an important part of their culture. A Native hair dresser helped change policy about hair in her states. And bestselling author Carole Lindstrom (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe/Métis) and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde) are working to inform people with their children's book My Powerful Hair. Today on Native America Calling, we check in on the meaning and importance of Native hair with Carole Lindstrom, author of My Powerful Hair; Ashley Lomboy (Waccamaw Siouan), mother of Logan Lomboy; and Afro-Indigenous activist Amber Starks (Muscogee Creek Nation and African-American) in a pre-recorded interview.

Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service held a ceremony to celebrate new visitor activities and expanded access to the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located roughly 30 miles west of Portland near the town of Gaston. The refuge features more than 800 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat for animals such as tundra swans, pintail ducks and other migrating waterfowl that visitors can see this time of year while walking along a recently opened, 2.6-mile trail on top of a levee partially surrounding the lake. While the refuge is open year-round, public access is restricted in December and January to waterfowl hunting.For generations, the Indigenous Tualatin Kalapuya people depended on Wapato Lake for cultural and nutritional sustenance before they were forcibly relocated in the mid-1800s and the land turned over to farming. Since the establishment of the refuge in 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been partnering with members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and other organizations to plant edible wapato tubers along the lake, restore wetlands and remove invasive species such as reed canary grass. Rebecca Gómez Chuck is the manager of the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. She joins us to talk about what visitors can expect to see and explore at Wapato Lake.

In a recent election, members of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde voted to amend their constitution and drastically limit tribal disenrollment. The CTGR is one of the few tribes to make a revision like this to protect its members. The new changes now mean only members who enrolled fraudulently would face disenrollment or those who were a member of another tribe when they received Grand Ronde citizenship. Cheryle Kennedy is the Chairwoman for the tribal council with the CTGR. She joins us to share the effects disenrollments can have and the protections will mean for both individuals and tribes.

Whether a symbol of completion, an indication of stuckness, or a signal for revised action, all card reversals bring medicine. When we greet a reversed Queen card, it can be a deep, impassioned plea from our very soul to pay attention, and come home to some aspect of ourselves that has been requesting our presence. In Part One of this two part series on the Queens reversed, we will dive into Queen of Pentacles and Queen of Swords, exploring what they mean, and how we can work with them. We also -- of course -- dig into what they invite us into when they show up reversed, and how we can respectfully, compassionately heed that call. CW: mentions of parenthood, systemic racism, trauma, ancestral trauma, unpaid labor that is regularly asked of folks of color, shared labor in parenting/co-parenting, light mentions of diet culture, fatphobia, and intuitive eating.

Many Native hunters have mastered big game hunting, providing for themselves and their families. Some go on to guide other hunters. But there remain a number of ongoing barriers, ranging from climate change to sovereign rights challenges. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce gets a snapshot of what this year's elk, caribou, and moose season is like in selected places and how tribes are working to solve hurdles to traditional practices with Bobby Mercier (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde member), cultural advisor for CTGR and artist; Ricko DeWilde (Athabascan), hunter and fisherman; and Gary Roybal (San Ildefonso Pueblo), outdoorsman, avid hunter, and fishing and hunting guide for the Santa Fe Guiding Company.

Samhuinn/Bealtaine blessings and Happy November, Wild Souls! The theme of the month ahead is Preparing to Receive.

Three of Wands is our card for the month of April, inviting us into some powerful and beautiful work around honoring ourselves in the midst of a “bridge” season of our lives, or moments when we find ourselves between two worlds. This card can be uncomfortable at times, but what it invites us into is rich and extraordinary: to hold ourselves in the present moment, knowing we are on the verge of some great and wonderful change. In today's episode, we dive into the heart of Three of Wands, chat a little about Aries season, The Emperor, and the Spring Equinox, and I answer a listener's question about how to get more comfortable in Tower seasons. Note: I am saying a sweet and grateful goodbye to the podcast (for now) as I transition into my maternity leave, and into some new projects (along with parenthood) that have been calling out to me for a little while. I'm not sure when I will be back with more episodes, but I love you all and thank you for being here!

In our journey around daring to get our hopes up, how can we begin to tend to the feelings of worry, anxiety and overwhelm that can often arise? Queen of Swords can be an extraordinarily helpful and bolstering Anchor Card for the kinds of invitations that Nine of Cups brings to us, inviting us to slice through our painful stories, get closer to the heart of our emotions, thoughts, and feelings, and invite us to tend ourselves in loving ways. In today's episode, we dive into the heart of Queen of Swords, and I answer a listener's question about navigating projections around our Tarot pulls.
