Throughout 2026, and in partnership with the America 250-Ohio Commission, the City Club will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States by exploring all the ways that Ohio has contributed to U.S. history for 250+ years. In January, our state will recognize the unique contributions of Ohio's firsts and originals.rnrnSince day one, and throughout the entirety of our country's formation, Native Americans served as defining threads - and participants - in U.S. politics. Article 1, Section 8 (also known as the "Indian Commerce Clause") in the U.S. Constitution establishes a unique federal-tribal relationship, acknowledging tribal sovereignty and self-governance. Today, it serves as the backbone for federal Indian law, which spans hundreds of years, impacting both tribal and non-tribal communities. What are the landmark moments in history that influenced the trajectory of our nation, particularly in the Great Lakes region? And how are modern Native Nations influencing the growth of the United States today?rnrnMatthew L.M. Fletcher is a leading tribal law expert, and is the Harry Burns Hutchins Collegiate Professor of Law and Professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan. He teaches and writes in the areas of federal Indian law, American Indian tribal law, Anishinaabe legal and political philosophy, constitutional law, federal courts, and legal ethics. He sits as the chief justice of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, and the Poarch Band of Creek Indians; as well as an appellate judge for many other tribal nations. Fletcher also co-authored the sixth, seventh, and eighth editions of Cases and Materials on Federal Indian Law and three editions of American Indian Tribal Law, the only casebook for law students on tribal law.

In Part Two of this deep dive on The Ugly Pike Podcast, the conversation with Johnny Dadson and Pete Bostelman continues right where it left off.This episode digs into the evolution of Dadson Blade Baits, the realities of modern muskie pressure, and how fish behavior has changed alongside advancing technology, stocking programs, and increased angler knowledge. From Georgian Bay's glory days to today's heavily pressured fisheries, Johnny and Pete break down what still works, what no longer does, and why confidence often matters more than any single lure or pattern.The discussion goes beyond tactics and into mindset. Wind versus calm, weeds versus open water, casting versus trolling, and how two completely different fishing styles can coexist in the same boat and actually make anglers better. Along the way, they share personal best fish stories, close calls on the Great Lakes, lessons from guiding, and the physical grind of hand building baits for decades.If you're serious about muskie fishing, lure building, or understanding how the sport has evolved, this episode delivers real insight without the fluff.

Here's some good news/bad news as we begin this Friday. First the good: We made it to Friday. Now the bad or not-so-great news: you may be spending this weekend indoors. A big wave of Arctic air will send temperatures sliding downward beginning today. Then Sunday the second act moves in, a snowstorm bringing the potential for heavy snow, including here in Northeast Ohio, while in some places in the mid and deep South possible catastrophic ice accumulations are predicted. Complicating the situation: a regional salt shortage that may impact road clearing efforts. The story begins our discussion of the week's news on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” Power outages could result from the winter storm this weekend but even on calm weather days, Ohio is having a hard time keeping up with rising energy demand. One main driver of that increased demand: data centers. Columbus has become a key location for these centers, with one report concluding it's the second-largest hub in the Great Lakes region. But those centers are popping up everywhere including in Stark County for instance. If you're heading to Downtown anytime soon, you should know that the city has updated its rates for on-street parking and enforcement. The new digital, coinless metered system will give drivers the opportunity to park at a meter for up to four hours, but at increasing hourly rates and enforcement will be extended seven days a week—except in Ohio City where Sundays will not be enforced. Cleveland City Council members are not yet sold on the Bibb administrations "pedal to the metal" approach to shut down Burke Lakefront Airport to open the acreage to lakefront redevelopment. Mayor Justin Bibb has said he would like to see Burker shuttered by 2029. The future of Burke Lakefront will be the topic of our next “Sound of Ideas Community Tour” on March 4. Property owners in Ohio's largest counties are among those that will see their next property reappraisals delayed by a year. Sixteen counties including Franklin, Cuyahoga and Hamilton are pushing back the process. Cuyahoga will next appraise properties in 2031. Fewer Ohioans are enrolled in Affordable Care Act or Obamacare plans after additional subsidies to offset costs put into effect during the pandemic expired last month.

Accidental bandleader and beloved Canadian Tony Dekker joins us to talk about Great Lake Swimmers' new album, 'Caught Light.' Tony is up to old tricks again, like recording in a remote and weird place (in a century-old farmhouse in the middle of the woods) and working with his merry band of rotating musician friends, including producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas). The album was recorded in three days, the shortest amount of time he's ever spent on a record. In that very fast process, he had to learn to let go of control. In our Basic Folk conversation, he shares what he's learned about the beauty of letting go. We also get into how Tony feels most capable of confronting environmental and political themes in his songwriting and daily practice.In recent years, Dekker has moved his family from Toronto, the big city, back to the Niagara area in Ontario where he grew up, to establish a small town community and life. We revisit his early years in Wainfleet, ON, discussing the ins and outs of his family's farm, his love of country radio, and talent for picking any instrument. He learned the joy of playing music at a young age. The reward of music was enough, and that notion has translated into how Great Lake Swimmers operates and what kind of bandleader he is. As stated before, the fact that he is the group's bandleader is an accident, since he only wanted to organize the band and act as a background member. Finding himself more and more on the frontline, he did some serious work learning how to be a good leader and how to operate a band that's made up of good friends. It's clear that Tony's figured out how to be a humble leader and friend as his collaborators return to his orbit time and time again.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

In this clip, Luke Dorris, KCTV 5's chief meteorologist, joins us to discuss the historic winter storm heading our way. Luke breaks down the rare and powerful system, which will bring a mix of snow and ice to the region. He explains how the storm's massive size, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, will lead to a prolonged and persistent snowfall. Luke shares his best guess for Kansas City's snowfall, ranging from one to eight inches, with three to five inches being the most likely scenario.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The foremost concern addressed in this briefing pertains to the significant lake effect snow impacting regions downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario, where winter storm warnings are currently in effect. The National Weather Service has indicated that snowfall rates may reach an alarming 2 to 3 inches per hour, accompanied by hazardous blowing and drifting snow, culminating in near whiteout conditions that are expected to persist through Wednesday afternoon. Furthermore, marine hazards on the Great Lakes have been exacerbated by heavy freezing spray warnings, which pose a substantial threat to vessels in these frigid waters. In addition to the winter weather, a G4 severe geomagnetic storm watch has been issued, suggesting possible disruptions to high-frequency radio, GPS, and satellite operations, while offering the potential for auroras to be visible under clear skies in various parts of the United States. As we navigate these multifaceted weather challenges, we urge our listeners to remain vigilant and prepared for the conditions ahead.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings due to lake effect snow.* Marine hazards are present on the Great Lakes, with warnings for heavy freezing spray.* A G4 severe geomagnetic storm watch has been confirmed, affecting radio and GPS systems.* Wind chill temperatures in Southeast Michigan are dangerously low, reaching -15 degrees Fahrenheit.* Additional snowfall of 6 to 12 inches is expected in certain areas of New York.* Stagnant air and dense fog advisories are currently being issued in parts of Washington.Sources[NWS Baltimore/Washington | briefing/outlook, https://www.weather.gov/lwx/][NWS Boston/Norton | hazards, https://www.weather.gov/box/][NWS Detroit/Pontiac | homepage hazards, https://www.weather.gov/dtx/][NWS Buffalo | warnings/HWO, https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=buf&wwa=all][NWS Cleveland | marine warning, https://www.weather.gov/cle/marine_forecast][NWS Portland | hazards page, https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Cleveland | Lake Erie marine warning, https://www.weather.gov/cle/marine_forecast][NWS Houston/Galveston | homepage briefing, https://www.weather.gov/hgx/][NWS Seattle | hazards/air stagnation, https://www.weather.gov/sew/] This is a public episode.

Salt vs fresh water: how does water salinity affect sea conditions?Today we'll walk about an interesting but obscure topic for most land dwellers: how stormy sea conditions can vary between large bodies of fresh and salt water, like the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean. It's not something we usually think about on land, but mariners know it well. And a bit more about what local conditions make our region so hazardous.

President Trump says he no longer feels obligated to “think purely of peace” in his pursuit of Greenland. Trump criticized Denmark for failing to defend the island from Russia and China, and said the U.S. must focus on national security. Meanwhile, Denmark increased its military presence, sending troops to Nuuk and western Greenland. Trump also wrote on Truth Social that he had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, and said he agreed to a meeting of various parties in Davos, Switzerland.More than 100 cars and several semi-trucks were sprawled in a pileup all over a Michigan interstate for hours on Monday, after intense lake effect snow bands lash out in the Midwest and the Great Lakes region. The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said there were no fatalities and ten people suffered minor injuries. The Midwest is also experiencing dangerous subzero wind chills, with frigid temperatures expected to affect many parts of the U.S. soon.The Trump administration is highlighting its immigration enforcement in Minnesota. Homeland Security says 10,000 criminal illegal immigrants have been arrested in the state. Meanwhile, the administration is challenging a judge's restrictions on ICE agents' interactions with protesters.

For three decades following World War II, the Great Lakes overtook Europe as the epicenter of global economic strength. The region was the beating heart of the world economy, possessing all the power and prestige Silicon Valley does today. And no ship represented the apex of the American Century better than the 729-foot-long Edmund Fitzgerald―the biggest, best, and most profitable ship on the Lakes.But on November 10, 1975, as the “storm of the century” threw one hundred mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all twenty-nine men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century.In The Gales of November, award-winning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disaster, drawing on more than one hundred interviews with the families, friends, and former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America's economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking's most likely causes, and the heartbreaking aftermath for those left behind―"the wives, the sons, and the daughters,” as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ballad.Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy, The Gales of November is both an emotional tribute to the lives lost and a propulsive, page-turning narrative history of America's most-mourned maritime disaster. https://www.amazon.com/Gales-November-Untold-Edmund-Fitzgerald/dp/1324094648http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

On this episode of the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast, host Chris Larsen sits down with Tyson Colby, founder and engineer behind AccuTroll, to dive deep into one of the most talked-about innovations in trolling speed control. Tyson shares his engineering background and explains how AccuTroll was built using modern IoT technology to solve a problem every troller faces—maintaining precise, consistent speed in changing conditions. From closed-loop “cruise control” trolling that automatically adjusts throttle based on speed feedback, to ultra-compact under-cowling installation, AccuTroll brings a fresh, modern approach to kicker motor control. The conversation covers how AccuTroll integrates with NMEA 2000 networks, paddle wheel sensors, and GPS speed, why it excels in current-driven waters like the Great Lakes and Puget Sound, and how anglers can retrofit it to existing throttle systems with minimal effort. Tyson also explains the smartphone-based control system, Bluetooth remote with programmable macros, and how over-the-air updates allow the platform to grow with new features and integrations. Whether you're a charter captain or a weekend troller looking to simplify your spread and focus more on fishing, this episode breaks down why automated speed control is one of those tools you “didn't know you needed until you used it.”

Today's central theme revolves around the significant winter weather conditions that are anticipated to impact various regions, particularly the Great Lakes and Interior Northeast. The Weather Prediction Center has identified a high likelihood of severe snow accumulation, with multiple winter storm and blizzard warnings currently in effect across several states. In particular, Alaska continues to face winter hazards, while California is under dense fog advisories and expects Santa Ana winds. Michigan and New York also remain vigilant as lake effect and system snow persist, potentially leading to hazardous travel conditions. As we delve into the specifics of this weather forecast, we underscore the importance of remaining informed and prepared for the challenges posed by these winter storms.Takeaways:* The Weather Prediction Center indicates a high probability of impactful snow across the Great Lakes.* Winter storm and blizzard warnings are currently active in the Interior and western regions of the country.* California is experiencing dense fog advisories in the Central Valley and Bay Area today.* Wind chills are expected to drop significantly below zero in North Dakota tonight and into Saturday.* Pennsylvania will see winter weather advisories this evening with potential for heavy snow showers.* Texas is bracing for a strong cold front, leading to gusty winds and possible light snow.Sources[NWS Fairbanks | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20storm%20warning][NWS Fairbanks (Blizzard) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?product1=Blizzard%20Warning&warnzone=AKZ821][NWS Anchorage | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20weather%20advisory][NWS Hanford | https://www.weather.gov/hnx/][NWS San Francisco Bay Area (AFD citing fog advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=mtr&product=afd&site=mtr][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][NWS Grand Rapids (Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=grr&wwa=winter%20weather%20advisory][NWS Gaylord (Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20weather%20advisory][NWS Buffalo (HWO & Warning) | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=BUF&product=HWO&site=NWS][NWS Buffalo (Warning details) | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=NYZ006&product1=Lake%20Effect%20Snow%20Warning][NWS Bismarck (Warnings/Advisories) | https://www.weather.gov/bis/][NWS Bismarck point forecast (High Wind) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=46.80536&lon=-100.77933][NWS State College (Advisories/HWO) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=ctp&wwa=hazardous%20weather%20outlook][NWS State College (Advisory text) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20weather%20advisory][NWS Aberdeen (Advisory) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20weather%20advisory][NWS Aberdeen Office Page | https://www.weather.gov/index.php/abr/][NWS Austin/San Antonio (Front and winds) | https://www.weather.gov/ewx/forecasts][NWS Amarillo (snow chance) | https://www.weather.gov/ama/ama/winter][NWS Duluth (Iron County Warning) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter%20storm%20warning][NWS Cheyenne (Warnings) | https://www.weather.gov/cys/highwind][NWS Cheyenne WWA text | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=cys&wwa=all] This is a public episode.

Fish Like Mike — is a former PE teacher and varsity hockey coach from Buffalo, New York who built a massive audience by doing what he genuinely loves: getting outside, learning the woods, and telling the story like a buddy would. He started fishing in high school with a cheap kayak and a GoPro duct-taped to a hockey stick… and years later, he made the big call to step away from a “safe” career to go all-in on content, travel, and the freedom to fish on a Tuesday when nobody's around. In this conversation, we get into the real stuff: the grind of teaching + coaching + building content on weekends, the moment he knew it was time to rip the band-aid off, why Instagram views don't pay like people think, and why those “little creeks” in New York might be one of the most underrated fisheries in the country. Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were: How he built his entire audience with almost no “fancy” gear — just consistency, curiosity, and telling the truth on camera. The mindset shift from “posting videos” to “building a business” — and why reputation matters more than follower count. The possum video lesson: when your face is on camera and you teach like a friend, people stick around. Great Lakes tributaries that can give you a 5-pound smallmouth and a 30-inch “steelhead” in the same day. Leaving teaching wasn't about money — it was about freedom, time, and not waiting until retirement to live the life.

Today, I provide a comprehensive overview of significant meteorological phenomena affecting various regions. The episode elucidates the incursion of Arctic air, which is precipitating lake effect snow across the Great Lakes, accompanied by dangerously low wind chills that may plummet to single digits or below zero in certain locales. We also note the absence of severe thunderstorms as the Storm Prediction Center reports minimal probabilities for such events today. Additionally, we discuss the restoration of buoy tender capacity by the Coast Guard in Oceania, enhancing navigational support in the Western Pacific. Furthermore, a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Willits, California, has been documented, although no substantial damage has been reported thus far. We will continue to monitor these developments and provide updates as warranted.Takeaways:* Arctic air is pushing south and east, leading to significant lake effect snow along the Great Lakes.* The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for northern Indiana due to severe weather conditions.* A magnitude 4.4 earthquake occurred near Willits, California, with no significant damage reported by local officials.* FEMA has updated flood maps for Pima County, urging local residents to prepare for an appeal period for the new mappings.* The Coast Guard's operational capacity has been restored in Oceania, enhancing navigational support for mariners in the Western Pacific.* Winter weather advisories remain in effect across multiple states, with specific warnings for parts of New York and Michigan.Sources[USCG | https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/4378815/uscgc-hickory-arrives-in-guam-restoring-full-buoy-tender-capacity-in-oceania/][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260112/fema-updates-flood-maps-pima-county][USGS | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc75295231][USGS | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc75295291][SF Chronicle | https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/earthquake-willits-mendocino-21248590.php][USCG | https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/4377704/coast-guard-interdicts-15-aliens-near-san-clemente-island/][NWS Northern Indiana | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=INZ103&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning][NWS South Bend page | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.6769&lon=-86.269][NWS Gaylord | https://www.weather.gov/apx/][NWS Grand Rapids | https://www.weather.gov/grr/][NWS Albany | https://www.weather.gov/aly/winterheadlines][NWS Buffalo | https://www.weather.gov/buf/BUFHWOBUF] This is a public episode.

Theodore Karamanski joins fellow Lake Michigan enthusiast Jana Byars to talk about his new book, Great Lake: An Unnatural History of Lake Michigan. Looking down from outer space a vast expanse of blue appears in the heart of North America. Of the magnificent chain of inland seas, only one of those bodies of water--Lake Michigan--is entirely within the boundaries of the United States. Lake Michigan has been uniquely shaped by its relationship with humans, since its geological evolution took place at the same time as Paleo-Indian peoples interacted with the changing environment. Each generation of humans has altered the lake to suit society's changing needs, dredging harbors, building lighthouses, digging canals and channels, filling in shallows, and obliterating wetlands. Great Lake is a comprehensive survey of the manifold ways Americans, from the first Native American communities to the present age, have abused, nurtured, loved, and neglected this massive freshwater resource. Extending 307 miles from north to south, the lake cuts across climatic, environmental, and physiographic zones, from the prairies of Illinois to the boreal forests of the north. Bordered by large cities like Chicago and Milwaukee as well as smaller Wisconsin resorts and northern Michigan mines and mill towns, the lake touches people in urban centers and countryside. Thus, the history of Lake Michigan combines the history of frontier resource extraction, agricultural abundance, industrialization, and dense urbanization in the American heartland. Great Lake is the story of the ever-escalating and divergent demands Americans have placed on Lake Michigan, how the lake's ecosystem responded to those changes, and how together they have shaped the modern American Midwest.

One of the worst nautical disasters in recent American history is the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. On November 10, 1975, the “storm of the century” threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior. The ship found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all 29 men onboard down with her, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mystery for a half century. The sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is so strange because the ship was exceptionally large and strong, and would normally be able to shrug off storms like this. At 75 feet wide and 729 feet long, the Fitzgerald was at the time of her launch the largest ship on the lakes, and she repeatedly broke her own records for the largest loads, the fastest runs, and the biggest season hauls throughout her career. She was a champion heavyweight, sprinter, and workhorse, all in one. To make the sinking stranger, she suddenly disappeared in a bad storm on Lake Superior without sending any distress calls despite having a massive modern radio system. The most widely accepted theories for the disaster include the ship hitting a shoal, suffering a structural failure like a broken back, or being overwhelmed by massive "three sisters" rogue waves. However, some less common and conspiracy-like theories suggest the crew did not properly close the hatch covers, the ship was actually split by a UFO, or that it was the victim of a secret Coast Guard experiment gone wrong. Todays’ guest is John Bacon, author of “The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” We explore the vital role Great Lakes shipping played in America’s economic boom, the uncommon lives the sailors led, the sinking’s most likely causes, and the aftermath for those left behind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of current weather conditions and natural events affecting various regions of the United States. The salient point of discussion centers on the notable warmth in the western states juxtaposed with a winter storm impacting the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Additionally, the episode addresses ongoing freezing spray hazards in the Bering Sea and the current status of wildfire incidents, which remain low but are nearing containment in Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri. Other significant updates include new flood maps released by FEMA for Pima County, Arizona, and winter weather advisories for Northern Michigan. We conclude with a reminder to monitor local forecasts for any evolving weather situations and to prioritize safety during adverse conditions.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has reported significantly above normal warmth across the western United States.* In Alaska, freezing spray hazards are currently affecting portions of the Bering Sea, posing risks to mariners.* A prolonged Santa Ana event is anticipated in Southern California, with strong gusts and dry conditions.* Residents of Pima County, Arizona, are encouraged to review newly released flood maps from FEMA.* Winter weather advisories have been issued in Michigan, warning of slippery roads and reduced visibility due to blowing snow.* Flood watches are in effect for parts of Washington State, where minor flooding is a concern due to recent rains.Sources[NWS Anchorage Marine | https://marine.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?product1=Heavy+Freezing+Spray+Warning&warnzone=PKZ414][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260112/fema-updates-flood-maps-pima-county][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego FWF | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=SGX&product=FWF&site=sgx][NWS Bay Area AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=mtr&product=AFD&site=mtr][NIFC | https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn][NWS — Winter Weather Advisory text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS Grand Forks/Duluth — WWA/HWO | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=fgf&wwa=all][NIFC | https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn][NWS Seattle — Flood Watch | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sew&wwa=all][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=SEW&product=AFD&site=sew] This is a public episode.

In this episode of God Is Red, we walk through Taylor Keen's (Omaha / Cherokee) book, Rediscovering Turtle Island: Chapter 7, Cohokia!A thousand years ago, a star lit the sky and a city surged beside the Mississippi. In this conversation, Taylor and Daniel go deep into Cahokia's rapid rise, its trading web from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and the ceremonies that surrounded the diverse languages and lineages into what can be described, perhaps, as an urban experiment. Taylor takes us through the story from Picture Cave's ninth-century rock art to the Cohokia's rites, asking how cosmology, corn, and power shaped daily life at scale.Learn more about Taylor's work HERE.Purchase Rediscovering Turtle Island HERE.Learn more about Daniel's work HERE.

863 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866 Presented by:   Togiak River Lodge Today's story bridges two very different worlds: the tight banks and icy tributaries of the Great Lakes, and the raw, tidal power of Western Alaska. Bailey Adamavich learned to fish where forty-foot casts matter and low water forces precision, then carried that foundation straight into blown-out rivers, chrome-bright kings, and some of the most intense Chinook grabs you can imagine. Bailey was our guide on the Togiak River, and we talked through one of my best days ever swinging for king salmon. We also dig into how Great Lakes tactics translate to Alaska, why simple flies still win, and what it really feels like to guide a full Alaskan season. If you're curious about Chinook on the swing, Midwest steelhead and browns, or the leap from small water to truly big rivers, this one's for you. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866
