So much went on in this episode, I had to say a little prayer at the end. We did a blind from DOC and lets just say it turned the episode into a real thing. Hope you enjoy.Patreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyhttps://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3Blue corn has emerged as a major trend in craft distilling, celebrated for introducing complex, bold alternative flavor profiles to American whiskey.Unlike mass-produced yellow dent corn (Yellow No. 2), which is maximized for crop yield and ethanol efficiency, heirloom blue corn varieties have been selected for generations entirely for human consumption and superior taste.Flavor ProfileBlue corn shifts the sensory boundaries of traditional whiskey, typically exhibiting the following characteristics:Earthy and Savory: It is notably less sweet and significantly more rustic, introducing deep, minerals-and-soil qualities to the spirit.Nutty and Oily: Due to a rich concentration of natural oils in the grain, blue corn creates a highly viscous, velvet mouthfeel. It often tastes of roasted nuts, toasted sugar, popcorn, and cocoa.Dark Fruits: Many distillers and reviewers note distinct dark fruit or "purple" traits, including heavy undertones of blackberry, plum, and blueberry compote.Challenges in DistillingWhile it creates an exceptional spirit, blue corn is notoriously difficult to work with for two main reasons:Low Yield: The heirloom crop generates far less fermentable starch per acre than industrial corn, making it far more expensive to source.The "Masa" Effect: During the mashing process, the heavy proteins and starches in blue corn create a thick, sticky paste (similar to tamale or tortilla dough). This frequently clogs distillation equipment and pipes.Prominent Distilleries and BottlesSeveral innovative distilleries have built high-profile releases around this grain:Balcones Distillery: The Texas craft pioneer was among the first to popularize the grain with their iconic Balcones Baby Blue. It is crafted from 100% roasted blue flint corn, displaying a heavy, buttery profile.Still Austin: Known for its highly coveted, seasonal winter Bottled-in-Bond Blue Corn Bourbon, which balances a high-rye mash bill with deep blueberry and brown sugar notes.Bluegrass Distillers: Based in Kentucky, their Blue Corn Bottled-in-Bond features a 75% blue corn mash bill that yields an earthy, bakery-fresh croissant and spice flavor profile.Smokeye Hill & Jeptha Creed: Both distilleries have captured industry attention with high-proof, single-barrel, or specialty heirloom blue corn expressions that lean heavily into savory old-school profiles.Mashing and distilling blue corn requires significant deviation from standard yellow corn workflows due to the unique structural properties of the grain.The Mashing ProcessTraditional raw corn consists of tightly packed, small starch granules that require substantial heat energy to unravel. Blue corn, specifically heirloom varieties like Hopi or Mexican atole, possesses a dense protein matrix and higher natural oil content that drastically alters mashing dynamics.High-Temperature GelatinizationBefore enzymes can convert corn starches into fermentable sugars, the grain must be gelatinized.The Workflow: Milled blue corn is mixed with water and heated to roughly 190°F to 200°F (88°C to 93°C). It must be held at this near-boiling temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to completely fracture the starch structures.The "Masa" Problem: As blue corn hits its gelatinization threshold, it binds water intensely. It transforms almost instantly into a thick, purple concrete-like paste. If left unchecked, this paste will burn onto the bottom of the mash cooker or seize up mechanical stirring paddles.

Tribal fishing access sites along the Columbia River will be getting needed upgrades and repairs, based on the findings of a new federal report, as Isobel Charle reports. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) found some infrastructure at 31 fishing access sites along the river – including docks and fish cleaning stations – is breaking down. Laurie Jordan is with the Columbia River Inter Tribal Fish Commission, which works with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to maintain the sites. She says they are known as jewels of Tribal sovereignty that are still shimmering along the sprawling waterway “I just can’t stress how fundamental the ability to maintain access to the river and to exercise the fishing right is to the member Tribes of our commission. The treaty rights are a property right. It was taken, and you gotta compensate for that.” The fishing access locations were built by the federal government after 1930s dam construction flooded traditional fishing areas. Under their treaties, four Columbia River Tribes retain fishing rights. Jordan says the Tribes look forward to improvements, including restroom repairs, additions, and updates to water systems. Anna Maria Ortiz is with the GAO. She says the report also looked at why the repairs have been delayed for so long. “If BIA could be more effective in terms of its internal communications, the way it maintains data, and its funding formula, it would have a better chance at improving the safety and sanitation of these sites.” Jordan adds with all the steps to secure funding, design the changes, permits and construction, it will likely take a couple years before the repairs and updates are done. The damaged Hopi headdress (kopatsoki) from the Desert View Watchtower at Grand Canyon National Park. (Courtesy National Park Service) Grand Canyon National Park rangers are still seeking the public's help identifying a tourist who damaged a tribal artifact last month while trying to photograph it. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more on the broken piece and its famed artist. According to witnesses, a white man – believed to be in his 60s or 70s – fell while standing atop furniture inside the Desert View Watchtower. Staff rendered first aid to the man, who left before law enforcement was dispatched. The colorful, hand-carved wooden crown worn during Butterfly Dance ceremonies was fashioned years ago by the late Fred Kabotie. Kelley Hayes-Gilpin is with the Museum of Northern Arizona. “If people have heard of one Hopi artist, it'll be Fred Kabotie.” Kabotie worked alongside architect Mary Coulter to depict Kiva murals inside the South Rim watchtower. Meg Kabotie is one of his granddaughters. “I remember one of the stories. There was like a certain color of blue that she was trying to get. He kept having to go up and down the ladder and it still wasn't the right color and he finally slashed open the whole tube of paint – just kind of a renaissance man.” The damaged headdress is being evaluated to see whether repairs can be made. “It's hard to see people not caring about beautiful pieces of artwork or artifacts or things that are very sacred and special, and just kind of being dumb tourists.” The oil painting “Washington the Soldier” by Jacques Auguste Regnier depicts the battle. (Courtesy Library of Congress) On this day in 1755 at the Battle of the Monongahela, French forces and their Indigenous allies defeated a British army led by Edward Braddock. Warriors from several Indigenous nations, including members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy on different sides of the conflict, played a major role in the outcome.

Na letošním Forbes Misfits Night, který během Mezinárodního filmového festivalu v Karlových Varech představuje podnikatele a osobnosti s odvahou dělat věci jinak, vystoupil také David Piškanin, který po svém otci převzal rodinnou skupinu Hopi.Dnes vedle dopravy a skladování rozvíjí také potravinářství, zemědělství i další projekty. Jedna věc se ale podle něj nesmí změnit nikdy. Firma nesmí nikdy získat pocit, že je hotová. Jakmile prý totiž přestane hledat nové příležitosti a spokojí se s tím, co už vybudovala, začíná pomalu ztrácet náskok.„Je třeba se nikdy nevzdávat. Každý projekt narazí na chvíle, kdy to nejde podle představ. Právě tehdy se ukáže, jestli to člověk myslí vážně, nebo jestli hledal jen rychlý úspěch,“ uvedl Piškanin.

Recorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (April 2026) Hard times are here, we hunger for voices that can see beyond the fear, beyond the noise, beyond the technologies consuming our attention. We need poets and visionaries. People who remember freedom. Dr. Jaiya John (Mshkiki Odeh Inini, Medicine Heart Man), medicine poet, freedom worker, is one of those voices. He has spent his life gathering words that heal. In this conversation, we enter the beauty, the grief, and the medicine together. We sit with the devastation tearing our world, the sorrows cracking us open, the ancestors still holding us—and the radical insistence that collective freedom is not something we chase. It is something already alive in and between us, waiting to be birthed. Dr. Jaiya John (Mshkiki Odeh Inini, Medicine Heart Man) was orphan-born on ancient Indigenous Anasazi and Pueblo lands in the high desert of New Mexico. He is an ancestral Baba, freedom worker, medicine poet, and the founder of Soul Water Rising—a global mission to eradicate oppression through re-humanization, book donations, and grants to displaced youth. He is the author of numerous books including Freedom: Medicine Words for your Brave Revolution and Fragrance After Rain, and the creator of the podcast I Will Read for You. A former professor of social psychology at Howard University, he holds a doctorate from UC Santa Cruz and has spoken to over a million people worldwide. His Indigenous soul dreams of frybread, sweetgrass, bamboo in the breeze, and turtle lakes whose poetry is peace. Watch the full video version of this conversation.

The University of Washington’s WWAMI medical school program just received a new $25 million endowment for scholarships and rural education support, as Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra reports. The program gets its name from the five states it serves – Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho – and educates emerging physicians in those rural states. Dr. Nick Phelps, WWAMI's assistant dean at the University of Alaska Anchorage, says the gift will go to scholarships for 30 eligible students across the five-state class. “For the students who are accepted to receive this scholarship, it covers half of their tuition.” Phelps says those eligible to apply for the scholarships are students in two specific programs: one, a rural track, and the other, a tribal and traditional medicine track. Medical school tuition – and the debt students take on to pay it – can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Phelps says the scholarships change the financial equation. “Primary care practices and primary care physicians… are the bedrock of medicine, for lack of a better term. They’re also some of the lowest paid specialties for students to go into, so for somebody who really is strongly interested in family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, some of those other primary care specialties, they have to do a bit of an internal calculus.” Many medical students choose specialties that pay better, which has helped create a shortage of primary care practitioners, both in Alaska and across the U.S. Phelps notes that the U.S. Department of Education will soon start limiting student loan amounts that Americans can take out for higher education, including medical school. Philanthropists William and Carolyn Franke and their family gave the WWAMI program the $25 million endowment to create the Franke Medical Student Scholars Program. Phelps says he hopes that the resulting scholarships encourage more Alaska students to focus on medicine that serves rural, remote and Indigenous Alaskans. The cliffs of Black Mesa on the Navajo Nation on September 1, 2023. (Photo: Chris Clements / KNAU) An energy company is asking for preliminary approval from the feds to look into building a hydropower project on the Navajo Nation. KNAU's Chris Clements has more. The company Nature and People First is asking for a preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to investigate building a pumped storage project near Chilchinbeto, Ariz. It would include two reservoirs holding a total of 20,000 acre-feet of water. Pumped storage projects generate energy by letting water flow downhill and then pumping it back up. Nature and People First tried to get federal approval for three pumped storage projects in 2021, but the Navajo Nation and the feds later said no. Critics cited concerns about overuse of aquifers and damage to the environment of nearby Black Mesa, which is considered sacred by the Navajo and Hopi tribes. If it is granted, the permit would not allow the company to disturb any land or give them permission to enter private property. Grand Exit at Celebration 2026. (Courtesy Sealaska Heritage Institute) Thousands of Alaska Natives and visitors gathered in Juneau, Alaska last week for Celebration 2026, one of the largest Indigenous cultural events in the state. The four-day gathering, organized by Sealaska Heritage Institute, brought together Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian dancers, artists, and culture bearers from across Southeast Alaska, Canada, and beyond. The event featured traditional song and dance performances, Native art, language activities, and cultural workshops. This year’s theme was “Enduring Strength”. Celebration began more than 40 years ago as a way to preserve Native cultures and pass traditional knowledge to younger generations. Organizers say the event continues to showcase the survival and persistence of Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian traditions while strengthening connections among Indigenous communities throughout the region.

Author and shamanic researcher SunBôw TrueBrother explores whether Sasquatch (aka Bigfoot) are humanity's closest relatives, and what forbidden Grand Canyon tunnels, ancient civilizations, and interdimensional beings may reveal about our forgotten origins in episode 249 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.SunBôw TrueBrother is a French-Canadian author, shamanic practitioner, and founder of SCENIC (Sasquatch Close Encounter Network for Interspecies Communication). After decades studying with indigenous elders across North and South America and Australia, he became known for the internationally translated Sasquatch Message to Humanity series. The books explore Sasquatch, interdimensional communication, indigenous wisdom, human origins, and humanity's relationship with non-human intelligence through teachings attributed to the Sasquatch Elder Kamooh.In this conversation, Faust and SunBôw explore why indigenous oral traditions have long preserved stories of Star People, interspecies communication, and non-human intelligence that challenge conventional ideas about human history. Drawing on the Sasquatch Genome Project, decades of shamanic experience, and teachings attributed to the Sasquatch Elder Kamooh, they explore a possibility most mainstream researchers never seriously consider: that humanity's story may be far older, stranger, and more interconnected than we've been taught. The discussion also ventures into forbidden archaeology, hidden civilizations, and the possibility that consciousness itself plays a larger role in human evolution than modern science is prepared to acknowledge.In this episode:• The Sasquatch Genome Project: The controversial DNA study of Bigfoot that mainstream science refuses to accept.• Forbidden Archaeology & Smithsonian Secrets: Hidden Grand Canyon chambers, Smithsonian involvement, and the century-old mystery that refuses to disappear.• Sipapu & The Place of Emergence: What did Hopi elders say exists beneath one of the most mysterious locations in the American Southwest?• The Ant People & Earth's First Caretakers: Why indigenous traditions continue to speak of a mysterious race beneath the Earth.• Reptilians & Ancient Lineages: Are the reptilians of ancient traditions villains, misunderstood ancestors, or something else entirely?• Telepathy & The Seven Grandfather Teachings: The surprising role Sasquatch play in one indigenous wisdom tradition.• Moon Anomalies & Hidden Structures: Claims of non-human activity and one of the strangest objects in our solar system.• Star People & Human Hybridization: Could humanity's origins be more complex than modern history suggests?• Archons & The Parasite Class: Are humanity's systems broken, or functioning exactly as intended?• The Great Awakening & Human Sovereignty: Caretakers, conquerors, and the growing divide between two very different futures.• Earth's Hidden History: Ancient ruins, lost civilizations, and the possibility that far more of our past remains undiscovered than we've been told.The deeper the conversation goes, the less it becomes a story about Sasquatch — and the more it becomes a question of what humanity may have forgotten about itself.Check out SunBôw's booksThe Sasquatch Message to Humanity: Conversations with Elder Kamooh https://a.co/d/0ehDVsODThe Sasquatch Message to Humanity Book 2: Interdimensional Teachings from our Eldershttps://a.co/d/02nLlPL2The Sasquatch Message to Humanity Book 3: Earth Ambassadors Cooperationhttps://a.co/d/02CdueLVConnect with SunBôw TrueBrotherhttps://scenicsasquatch.com/https://www.facebook.com/scenicsasquatch/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

New Mexico and the U.S. are one step closer to having the first female Native American governor as former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) beat out her Democratic opponent Sam Bregman with 72% of the vote Tuesday night in the primary election. KUNM’s Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) was among the attendees at her watch party. Old Town plaza was filled with New Mexicans young and old in support of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland, dressed in a black and white dress with bright red cowboy boots. Haaland told the crowd she would lower costs so that New Mexicans can have better access to health care, education, and safe communities. “I’ve been through hard times. I’m a single mom, I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck, I survived off SNAP and WIC. I’m over 35 years sober. These are the same struggles so many New Mexicans face today, but with the grit, creativity, and persistence that only New Mexicans know, I know a better New Mexico, as possible.” Haaland served as the 54th U.S Secretary of Interior, making her one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress. She said she will put that work into experience. “To combat [President] Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid, fight against rising health care costs, and take a stand, so that ICE will not be allowed near schools, places of worship, or public community spaces.” Kalika Tallou (Diné and Ute) works for the nonprofit New Mexico Community Capital and was in the crowd. She says she has heard some reservations from other Indigenous people about Haaland, but she says Haaland has a big voice in the grand scheme of things. “I feel supportive of her and her work in Washington, DC, and internationally, and across the island, and wanting to uplift and support our Indigenous women with the challenges that they're faced with.” Haaland will face Republican candidate Greg Hull on November 3. “If I didn’t earn your vote this primary election, I want you to know I’m going to work every day to earn it now.” Hopi dry farmer Michael Kotutwa Johnson. (Photo: Lauren Gilger / KJZZ) The University of Arizona has released a new report highlighting the huge economic impact of tribal agriculture throughout the Grand Canyon State – including $750,000,000 in total economic output statewide. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. According to the study, Indigenous farms outnumber all other operations statewide. And while most tribal farms are between one and nine acres in size, they collectively manage more than 80% of Arizona's farmlands during 2022. For Hopi dry farmer Michael Kotutwa Johnson, who is a co-author, this report is an important reminder. “The main story is that Indian people are still doing agriculture since before we were in a state… Maybe doing it in a different form, but we're still here, and we're still doing that, and I think that our contributions have been really unnoticed.” Including how the vast majority of Arizona farms for commodities, like sheep, goats, vegetables, and melons, are owned by Indigenous peoples. Johnson thinks that trend will continue to grow. “So I really would make the claim that in about 20 years the only real agriculture in Arizona will be on Indian reservations.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

What does it mean to rethink religion from the ground up? University of Colorado's religious studies professor Sam Gill draws on biology, philosophy, and decades of research and dance practice to argue that we are moving, whole organisms before we are divided into mind and body. Gill proposes that humans possess a biologically enabled capacity to hold together what we know to be different as if it were the same—a dynamic that underlies the powers of metaphor, masking, dancing, ritual action, symbol, and language. Through vivid examples from Hopi initiation, Javanese shadow puppetry and dance, and Navajo prayer ceremonials, Gill shows how religious actions create worlds, identities, and enduring cultural coherence.

Join our monthly Seed Chat at SeedChat.orgIn This Podcast: In this monthly Seed Chat, Greg Peterson and Bill McDorman explore the global rules governing seed ownership, seed saving, biodiversity, and agricultural policy. The conversation dives into international treaties, plant patenting, farmers' rights, and the growing tension between the Global North and Global South over control of genetic resources. Bill shares firsthand experiences attending United Nations treaty negotiations and working with Indigenous seed sovereignty issues through Native Seeds/SEARCH. The episode also highlights why everyday gardeners and farmers should become “seed citizens” by saving and sharing locally adapted seeds.Bill McDorman is a renowned seed saver, educator, and advocate for agricultural biodiversity. He co-founded the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance and has spent decades teaching gardeners and farmers how to grow, save, and share heirloom seeds. Through workshops, speaking, and mentorship, Bill inspires communities to strengthen local food systems, preserve regional seed diversity, and protect seed sovereignty for future generations.Key TopicsSeed libraries and locally adapted seed sharingInternational Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA)UPOV and global plant variety protection lawsWorld Trade Organization (WTO) seed policy influenceFarmers' rights and seed sovereigntyPlant patenting and intellectual property in agricultureConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD)Nagoya Protocol and access-benefit sharingDigital Sequence Information (DSI) and genetic ownershipNative Seeds/SEARCH and Indigenous seed stewardshipOrganic Seed Alliance and seed policy debatesGlobal North vs. Global South agricultural power dynamicsSeed banks and the Multilateral System (MLS)The importance of saving open-pollinated seedsThe future resilience of local food systemsKey Questions AnsweredWhat is the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture?The ITPGRFA is a legally binding international treaty created to govern the conservation, sharing, and equitable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. It officially entered into force in 2004 and now includes participation from more than 180 countries.Why do global seed treaties matter to everyday gardeners and farmers?These treaties influence who can save seeds, who profits from plant genetics, and how agricultural biodiversity is preserved. The policies affect food security, seed availability, farmer independence, and long-term resilience of local food systems.What is UPOV and why is it controversial?UPOV is an international agreement that grants intellectual property protections to plant breeders. Critics argue that newer versions of UPOV weaken farmers' traditional rights to save and replant seeds while strengthening corporate control over agriculture.How does the WTO influence seed laws around the world?According to Bill McDorman, countries seeking participation in global trade systems often adopt UPOV-style protections as part of WTO-related trade expectations, creating pressure on smaller nations to align with industrial seed systems.What is the Nagoya Protocol?The Nagoya Protocol is an international agreement designed to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. It attempts to address historical exploitation of Indigenous and Global South biodiversity by pharmaceutical and agricultural corporations.What is Digital Sequence Information (DSI)?DSI refers to genetic sequencing data derived from crops and plant varieties. A major debate centers around who owns this information and whether communities that stewarded these crops for generations should share in the economic benefits created from their genetic data.What are farmers' rights in global seed policy?Farmers' rights include the ability to save, use, exchange, and sell farm-saved seed. These rights remain one of the most contested issues in international agricultural negotiations.Why are seed libraries important?Seed libraries help preserve locally adapted seed varieties while strengthening regional food resilience. They also create community networks for knowledge sharing and decentralized seed stewardship.How did Native Seeds/SEARCH navigate Indigenous seed stewardship?Bill shares stories from his time directing Native Seeds/SEARCH, including working with Zuni and Hopi communities to renegotiate relationships around seed stewardship, naming rights, and seed distribution.Why does Bill McDorman encourage people to attend UN treaty meetings?He believes participation in international seed policy discussions is critical for protecting biodiversity and farmers' rights. Attending these events allows citizens, gardeners, and small farmers to directly engage with global agricultural policy.Episode HighlightsBill discovers a seed library inside a small-town New Mexico library and reflects on the importance of locally adapted seeds.Greg and Bill explain how seed laws emerged alongside industrial agriculture and large-scale seed commerce.Bill breaks down UPOV, WTO policy, and how plant patenting transformed global agriculture.The conversation explores how Indigenous plant genetics were historically extracted and commercialized.Bill recounts receiving a cease-and-desist letter regarding Zuni bean varieties while directing Native Seeds/SEARCH.A deep discussion unfolds around Digital Sequence Information and the ownership of plant DNA data.Bill explains why small farmers across Africa increasingly believe they no longer have the right to save seeds.The episode concludes with a call for more “seed citizens” actively saving and sharing seeds locally.ResourcesResource — Seed Chat Live Events — SeedChat.orgPodcast — Urban Farm PodcastOrganization — UPOV – International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of PlantsOrganization — World Trade Organization (WTO)Organization — Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA)Treaty — International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA)Organization — Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)Resource — Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharingCommunity — Organic Seed AllianceOrganization — Native Seeds/SEARCHEvent — Great American Seed Up — First weekend in November in Phoenix, ArizonaVisit UrbanFarm.org/987 for the show notes and links on this episode!Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

(Chris Clements / KNAU) A congressional watchdog office found some miners with black lung disease face barriers in getting federal payments for their disabilities. As KNAU's Chris Clements reports, that rings true to a former coal miner and advocate on the Navajo Nation. Alex Osif (Navajo, Hopi, and Pima) was a coal miner at the Black Mesa and Kayenta mines. He says the coal companies that are on the hook for paying miners' benefits can slow the process down by not providing employment histories. “That’s the kinda complications I’m having, proving that the miner did work at a mine for so many years.” The lengthy process of applying for benefits is one issue identified by the US. Government Accountability Office in a new report. It also found many coal miners have trouble using the health benefits they are entitled to, like when they need money for transportation to doctors' appointments. “The program needs to view these operators and continue to make sure that they stand up to their promise to the miner.” To help with that issue, the report says the feds need to keep track of the medical coverage coal companies give disabled miners. Tracy Day has been missing since February 14, 2019. (Courtesy Juneau Police Department) The daughter of missing Juneau, Alaska woman Tracy Day wants people to know who her mother was beyond an MMIW rallying cry. It has been seven years since Day disappeared, and the family is still searching for answers. KTOO's Yvonne Krumrey has more. Kaelyn Schnieder says her mom was always finding new adventures for the family to go on. The house she grew up in in Sitka, Alaska was spotless and Day was taking night classes to be a nurse. Her struggles with mental health came later. “But I feel like, when she went missing, everybody was like, ‘Oh, she's living in St Vincent. And like, she's a mentally ill addict.' It was just not the way I wanted people to see her, because my mom was a wonderful parent, and she wasn't always sick.” Schneider says when she was a young child, she was the victim of child sex abuse by her friend's father. After Day found out what had happened, she blamed herself for trusting the family. Schneider believes it triggered Day's mental health issues. “It changed her brain chemistry, you know. So that's, like, the best way I could explain it.” Schneider thinks that changed the trajectory of her mother's life. Day struggled with mental illness and substance abuse, but Schneider wants people to know her mom the way she remembers her, as a dignified, even glamorous woman. “She was kind of like a diva. Like back in the day, she always had her hair done, lipstick done, nails, everything. She was always dressed so beautifully.” She was also a devoted parent and she was fun. “When she wasn't at work, we were never bored. We would go ride our bike and we would get curly fries with cheese and milkshakes, and then we would go to the duck pond and feed the ducks. And, like, she was a good, like, playful parent.” Schneider says that even through Dayʼs later mental health crises, she always stuck around and checked in with her family. “She would not take off. She's the opposite. She's like, the parent that annoys you, because they're showing up so much.” Schneider's son was born after Day went missing. He is five years old now and she is finding herself having to explain the absence. “My son, he's at that age where he's starting to question, like, ‘what happened to grandma?' And like, ‘Why is she not in your life?' And you know, like, he always asks — it's so horrible — He always asks, like, ‘Are you gonna disappear?' And like, as a mom, that is just horrible. You know that knowing that my son, like, has that thought in his head, because he knows it's a possibility.” So Schneider says, for him and for her newborn son, she will keep looking for the truth of what happened to her mom. “I really want to keep searching and talking about her case, not only for me, but also for my sons. I want them to know that people are still interested and care.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

What happens when ancient prophecies from different cultures appear to echo similar warnings and visions about humanity's future? In this fascinating and thought-provoking episode, Kymberlee Ruff explores The Hopi and Tibetan Prophecies, examining spiritual traditions, symbolic teachings, and predictions associated with cultural transformation and human consciousness. Drawing from interpretations of Hopi traditions and Tibetan spiritual teachings, Kymberlee discusses themes of balance, environmental awareness, spiritual awakening, and societal change. She explores why prophetic narratives continue to resonate in times of uncertainty and how different cultures use symbolism to communicate deeper truths and warnings. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the role of prophecy and collective belief. Are ancient prophecies literal predictions, symbolic guidance, or reflections of recurring human concerns? Why do people across generations turn to prophetic traditions during periods of change? And what can these teachings reveal about humanity's relationship with the planet and each other? Join us for an expansive and intriguing conversation that bridges cultures, spirituality, and the search for meaning—where ancient wisdom continues to inspire reflection about the future of humanity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

What does truly culturally responsive autism support look like—and who should lead it? In this episode, Ben speaks with Dr. Davis Henderson, Dr. Candi Running Bear, and Dr. Olivia Lindly about their work adapting the Parents Taking Action program for Diné (Navajo) families. Together, they unpack how geography, language, family structure, and cultural values shape access to autism services—and how their team is working alongside communities to close those gaps. From telehealth delivery across vast rural regions to adapting AAC tools in Indigenous languages, this conversation highlights what it really takes to move beyond “one-size-fits-all” care. The team also shares their innovative next step: empowering parents to train educators—flipping the traditional model of expertise on its head. What You'll Learn Why autism awareness and services remain limited in many Indigenous communities How the Diné Parents Taking Action program was culturally adapted The role of community advisory boards in ethical, effective research How telehealth unexpectedly improved access and connection Why AAC must be culturally and linguistically responsive The importance of extended family systems in caregiving How parents are being empowered to train educators What culturally responsive autism assessment still gets wrong—and how to improve it Key Topics & Highlights Adapting evidence-based interventions for Indigenous communities Barriers: rural geography, transportation, internet, and systemic gaps Language access—including the need for autism terminology in Navajo Cultural values like Hózhó and their role in care AAC innovation: from iPads to paper-based systems in low-resource settings Community connection as an intervention outcome Expanding work to Hopi and other Indigenous communities Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XWkC-7l19is Continuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop) BACB: 1.0 Ethics IBAO:  1.0 Cultural QABA: 1.0 Ethics CBA/CPD: 1.0 Cultural Diversity  Follow us!

Bruce grew up having apocalyptic dreams he could not explain. At five years old, he watched the coast of California burn in a vision so vivid it never left him. Years later, a road trip with a friend led them to Hopi Prophecy Rock in Arizona. Previous to this visit, his friend got a lightning bolt tattoo. Bruce felt the impulse to get a sun tattoo. What they did not know was that both marks are carved into a stone that the Hopi believe foretells the end of the world and the return of a white brother at the end of days. Hopi elders wanted them to come back for a ceremony under the right moon. They never returned.  But the story did not end there. In a Christian program years later, Bruce had a dream so specific it predicted the arrival of a Hopi roommate the next day. In the dream, his deceased father led him to a compound of twisted tree women guarding a Hopi baby whose legs were being warped by something dark. The vision connects witchcraft on the reservation, pagan end times prophecy, and a thread that runs all the way back to Deuteronomy 32 and the divine allotment of the nations. This is one of those stories that raises more questions than it answers. This is a wild conversation about witchcraft on the reservation, pagan prophecy that echoes biblical eschatology, the Blue Kachina, and whether pre-flood knowledge has been whispering through indigenous traditions for millennia.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores the ancient wisdom of the Hopi people and its startling relevance to the world unfolding right now. Drawing from a personal conversation with his shaman mentor Don Javier—sparked by the appearance of Atlas, a rare interstellar object—Jim unpacks centuries-old Hopi prophecies that describe exactly the kind of world we are living in today: materialistic, imperialistic, and spiritually unmoored. Far from a doomsday warning, these prophecies are, as Jim frames them, a map—patterns that ancient peoples observed, documented, and passed down to guide future generations.  Jim traces humanity's journey through four worlds, each destroyed by the collective disregard for spiritual teachings, and zeroes in on the Hopi's most critical teaching for this moment: the choice between the path of two hearts and the path of one heart. The two hearts path—the upper path—is the zigzag of chasing money, ego, and external identity. The one heart path—the lower path—is the path of divine essence, peace, love, and stewardship of the earth. Every ancient prophecy Jim references, from Nostradamus to Edgar Cayce to Baba Vanga, converges on this same crossroads humanity faces right now, in 2026.  This is not a moment for passivity. It is, as Jim calls it, go time—not in a frantic way, but in a deeply intentional, spiritually grounded way. Listen closely.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (02:53) The Hopi: peaceful stewards of consciousness — How the Hopi built an entire culture around a single purpose: maintaining balance with the earth and with consciousness itself.  (05:47) Two worlds diverging right now — Humanity is splitting into two distinct paths—one driven by money, ego, and greed, and the other by heart, soul, and spiritual stewardship—and both are visible in the world today.  (09:09) The fourth world and the patterns we keep repeating — How the Hopi described our current world as ruthless and materialistic, and why ancient prophecies from Cayce, Nostradamus, and Baba Vanga all point to this same moment in history.  (14:58) The Hopi's two paths for the end of the fourth world — A closer look at the upper path (two hearts) and the lower path (one heart), and why outsourcing your identity to material things keeps you in disharmony with the energies shifting on the planet.  (17:53) Purification, not annihilation—and why now is go time — The Hopi were not predicting destruction; they were prophesying purification, and why spiritual evolution is the most urgent work any of us can do right now.  (20:50) The fifth world is an inner state available to you today — The next world the Hopi envisioned isn't a geographic destination—it's a consciousness that becomes accessible the moment you choose the path of one heart.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The Hopi knew. Across centuries, they mapped the patterns of human civilization and left a clear message for this exact moment: the world does not change until the individual does. You are standing at the crossroads of two paths—one leading outward toward noise, hustle, and identity built from status and distraction; the other leading inward toward soul, peace, and consciousness that helps heal the planet. You don't have to renounce the material world. You simply have to stop letting it define you. The fifth world isn't coming someday. It is available right now, in the next choice you make.

Now leading in behavioral health and recovery, he is committed to bringing real change not only to reservations but also to Native and underserved communities across Phoenix. This episode is a story of resilience, culture, and what's possible when we choose to heal and rise.

Photo: An aerial view of the Santa Rita Mountains near Tucson, Ariz. during an EcoFlight trip in April 2026. (Gabriel Pietrorazio) Today is Earth Day and earlier this month, the Colorado nonprofit EcoFlight came to Arizona as part of its annual aerial educational program — Flight Across America. A cohort of college students soared through the skies for an environmental tour of endangered landscapes across the West. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio took flight with them and has this report. On the Tucson International Airport tarmac, a fleet of three Cessna 210s taxi for takeoff. Manufacturers ceased production of this 6-seater model four decades ago, but these very planes have lately been the college students' main mode of transportation. Their four-day adventure across the Grand Canyon State kicked-off in Flagstaff. “And I am in awe of just what the world looks like from a bird's eye view.” Back on the ground, 23-year-old Kimmale Anderson reflects on her ride. She is from the Hopi village of Kykotsmovi and a senior majoring in environmental science at Fort Lewis College in Colorado. Anderson and seven more students met tribes along the way. While here in Tucson, Tohono O'odham Vice Chairwoman Carla Johnson joined her and the rest. “These leaders coming and being with us in these planes and giving their perspective is very powerful. And I think that they don't really speak for all of their people. And I appreciate the fact that they always express that.” An aerial view of solar panels near Tucson during an EcoFlight tour in April 2026. (Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ) Arizona State University data science junior Sophia Honahni is Diné-Hopi and from Tuba City. “They had a lot to share – coming from both a western science and a traditional ecological knowledge perspective.” Eager high schoolers were the first to learn about the land from above through Flight Across America – until the nonprofit EcoFlight shifted its attention to career-bound college students who could make the most meaningful change in areas of conservation. This opportunity can, in part, be credited to one of the nation's most popular folk singers — John Denver. This passion for piloting and astronomy only grew when he moved to spend much of his life in this snowy Colorado city. Aspen is also where Bruce Gordon founded EcoFlight. “My good friend John Denver, you're old enough to know who he is? (laughter)” Gordon was one of the pilots that ferried students around Arizona. “But I laughed like that, because, even a number of the students we just had – maybe a third of them raised their hands.” Flight Across America was their brainchild for Earth Day 2000. “This idea sort of came to a huge fizzle when he passed away.” In 1997, the eight-time platinum album recording artist crashed an experimental plane into California's Monterey Bay. Gordon dedicated the maiden Flight Across America voyage in 2004 to Denver's memory. About 180 students have taken to the skies of the West since then. It is something Gordon thinks would have inspired Denver, too. “Yeah, he would have really been excited about this – getting up in the air, getting the people involved – because that was one of his main loves for sure.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Maloney v. United States Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation

The Hopi Tribe, along with several others in northeastern Arizona, is hoping a proposed $5 billion settlement in Congress can bring relief to the water-parched region. Hopis have long grappled with clean water access, encountering persistent hurdles for both quantity and quality. Some have to haul water to their homes. Others have to contend with contamination from uranium mining and other pollutants. We'll also talk about an effort to improve reading levels for Hopi children and get an update on the tiny, but mighty radio station KUYI. GUESTS Carrie Nuva Joseph (Hopi), director of the Department of Natural Resources for the Hopi Tribe Deborah Baker (Hopi), parent liaison for Hopi Day School Darion Kootswatewa (Hopi), operations coordinator for KUYI-Hopi Radio Nikki Qumyintewa (Hopi), program coordinator at KUYI-Hopi Radio Break 1 Music: The Center of the Universe (song) Clark Tenakhongva (artist) Su'Vu'Yo'Yungw (album) Break 2 Music: Hard Times Will Be Coming (song) Courtney Yellow Fat (artist) The Lost Songs of Sitting Bull (album)

President Donald Trump swore in Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee) as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security at the White House Tuesday. The president talked about Sec. Mullin serving in the House and Senate, mentioning that Mullin is Native American and has worked on tribal issues. “Markwayne has also been a fantastic advocate for our cherished tribal communities. He’s now the first member of the Cherokee Nation ever to serve as a member of the cabinet. I didn’t know all these things. I would have picked him faster if I had known. I would have made a quicker decision.” Mullin also spoke after the ceremony. “I made this very clear that I don’t care what color your state is, I don’t care if you’re red or you’re blue, at the end of the day, my job is to be secretary of Homeland and to protect everybody the same. And we will do that. I’ll fight every single day.” After Mullin's confirmation this week, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. congratulated him and wished him success in his new role. Kaktovik children sit on the floor of the new gym during the grand opening of the facility on December 1, 2025. (Photo: Angela Cox) The predominantly Indigenous community of Kaktovik in northern Alaska hosted a regional basketball tournament last month, in a new gym that was finally rebuilt, years after the old one burned down. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports that, for at least one family, the new gym’s significance was bigger than basketball. The Kaktovik high school girls’ basketball team is playing against Point Lay. It is the 1A North Slope regional championship and the Kaktovik Lady Rams are down by a couple of points Senior Mya Aishanna hears her mom yelling. “That did something to me that, like – snap, I have five minutes left, I can do this.” The Kaktovik Lady Rams did not win the game, but Aishanna says the moment was still special. The community's gym and school burned down six years ago. The new gym was finally finished in December. The tournament was the first big event the community held there. “Our crowd, just hearing them cheer for us, like, it made me so happy.” Aishanna says not having a place to play sports for so long, the students often practiced outside. “It was kind of difficult because of the polar bears and the wind and the coldness …  All our players were kind of rusty shooting, because we had nowhere to shoot.” Several students left the school. Mya Aishanna's brother was one student. Mya's mother is Stephanie Aishanna. “He missed the gym so much, he moved to Fairbanks to live with my brother.” She says the family lost a hunter to help during the subsistence season. Stephanie Aishanna says the community used the facility for funerals, Thanksgiving feasts, and other gatherings. “It was the heartbeat of our community, and we totally lost that.” Kaktovik community and guests from across the North Slope gather at the new Kaktovik gym on December 1, 2025. (Photo: Angela Cox) Mya Aishanna was part of a group of students who advocated for the construction of a new gym. They wrote letters to municipal leadership and held a silent protest. “We just had to act, because us students have to have somewhere to play.” Now that they have the new facility, Aishanna says she already feels the difference. The weekend tournament also proved that the new facility is more than a place to practice and play. More than a hundred people also took refuge there during a major storm over that same weekend. Now that the basketball tournament is over, adults and students regularly go there to play and exercise. And in a few months, Mya Aishanna's class will be the first to graduate in the new facility. Her mom says she will make sure that her son will attend his sister's ceremony as well. The Indian Nations Gaming and Governance Program at the William S. Boyd School of Law at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Tribal Leadership Council announced Tuesday the establishment of the Tribal Leadership Council Endowment. According to the council, it is the first endowed scholarship established by a Native American non-profit organization in the law school's history. The scholarship will be awarded to tribal citizens of federally recognized tribes pursuing a J.D. degree at the school and in the program. The first scholarship will be awarded when the endowment is fully matured. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Indigenous Women's Leadership with NMAI Director Cynthia Chavez Lamar and co-hosts Kahstoserakwathe and Taiawentón:ti' It's an Awesome Auntie co-hosting collaboration this month as Taiawentón:ti' Chelsea Sunday (Kanyen'kehà:ka) joins Kahstoserakwathe to visit with Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian Director Cynthia Chavez Lamar (San Felipe Pueblo, Hopi, Tewa, and Navajo).Cynthia is the first woman director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, including its three locations in Washington, D.C., New York City, and the Cultural Resources Center in Maryland.Taiawentón:ti' and Kahstoserakwathe first met Cynthia last summer at the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Taiawentón:ti''s land-based language revitalization organization, Ionkwahronkha'onhátie', was one of four groups featured for their language, place, and ways of learning. Kahstoserakwathe was there co-producing a documentary about their work.When Cynthia came to visit the group on the National Mall, Taiawentón:ti' noticed her openness and the path she has taken as an Indigenous woman in leadership. That moment sparked this conversation.In this episode, the three talk about leadership, creative direction, and building institutions that remain accountable to Indigenous communities.Cynthia is a curator, author, and scholar whose work focuses on Southwest Native art and collaborative practice with Indigenous communities. She has served on national arts and cultural boards, including the Institute of American Indian Arts and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development and the New Mexico Arts Commission.

What if the most important warning in human history was written 3,600 years ago, buried in a text that most scholars refuse to examine, and is pointing directly at our lifetime? The Egyptians called it "The Destroyer." The Celts called it "The Frightener." The Sumerians called it Nibiru. The Book of Revelation calls it Wormwood. The Hopi called it the Blue Kachina. Tonight's guest says they are all describing the same object, and it is coming back. In 1983, I was in high school, and my science teacher read the news to our class that NASA had just identified a new planet in our solar system. The only thing left to do was name it. Years later, in my one and final interview with Zecharia Sitchin before his death, I told him that story. His response stopped me cold. He said, the question is not what they will name it. The question is, what would the consequences be if the information were made public. That question has haunted me ever since. And tonight, we may finally have the answer. On December 26, 2012, five days after the world laughed off the Mayan calendar date, Marshall Masters was watching a live volcanic webcam in Costa Rica, and he saw something that changed the course of his life. He spent the next decade building an orbital model for what he calls the Nemesis Mini-constellation system, a brown dwarf star he believes is our Sun's binary twin, orbiting on a 3,600-year cycle, and closing in on Earth right now. His most recent book contains a prophecy timeline from 2024 through 2037. A pole shift around 2030. A five-event sequence that includes a deep impact in the Atlantic, days of darkness, a reversal of the Earth's rotation, and solar events that make the 1859 Carrington Event look like a flicker. Dr. Paul LaViolette has argued that the Carrington Event was not a simple coronal mass ejection but the result of a galactic superwave. If he is right, and if Marshall is right, what is coming will dwarf anything in recorded history. We are inside that window right now. Tonight we go through all of it. The Kolbrin Bible and what it actually says about what is coming. The Nemesis system and the evidence Marshall has been tracking for over a decade. The connections to Sitchin, LaViolette, and the Hopi prophecies. The 2030 timeline and where we stand on it right now in 2026. The NASA suppression that goes all the way back to that 1983 announcement my teacher read to our class. The remote viewing session that rewired the direction of Marshall's life for eight years. The survival community model he built to outlast the tribulation. And the question Sitchin asked me that I have never been able to shake, what would the consequences be, if the information were made public.

Los Hopi llevan siglos custodiando una historia que la arqueología oficial no sabe cómo clasificar. Según sus ancianos — documentados por Frank Waters en *El Libro de los Hopi* tras años de trabajo con 32 líderes tribales — la humanidad no nació en este mundo. Emergió de uno anterior, destruido por el diluvio, guiada hacia la superficie por los **Anu Sinom**: seres de cuerpo delgado, cabeza desproporcionada y ojos enormes que vivían bajo la tierra. El punto exacto de esa emergencia está en el Gran Cañón. Lo llaman el Sipapuni. Y lo que nadie en los medios convencionales se ha atrevido a señalar es que en lengua hopi, *anu* significa hormiga y *naki* significa amigos — lo que hace que **Anu-Naki** sea fonéticamente idéntico al término sumerio *Anunnaki*, los seres que en los textos mesopotámicos también descienden para intervenir en el destino humano.Pero la historia no termina ahí. La epigrafista Gloria Farley pasó décadas documentando inscripciones líbico-bereberes y ogam céltico en los cañones del río Colorado, evidencia de contacto precolombino que la academia ha ignorado sistemáticamente. Barry Fell identificó petroglifos inequívocos de Anubis en cuevas de Arizona. Gary David trazó una correlación precisa entre las Tres Mesas Hopi y el Cinturón de Orión — la misma geometría que aparece en Egipto y en decenas de sitios sagrados alrededor del mundo. Y por debajo de todo eso, la geología guarda su propio misterio irresoluble: la Gran Inconformidad, donde mil millones de años de registro rocoso desaparecen sin dejar rastro. El Gran Cañón no es solo el cañón más grande del mundo. Es posiblemente el archivo más antiguo de una historia que todavía no sabemos leer.Acompáñanos en este episodio para hacer las conexiones que más incomodan a la narrativa oficial. Hosted on Acast.

Across many Indigenous traditions of North America, stories of “Star People” are not fringe mythology but part of living cosmology. Nations such as the Zuni and Hopi describe ancestral relationships with celestial beings and migrations guided by star knowledge. These traditions appear repeatedly in oral histories collected by scholars and Indigenous knowledge keepers. This program brings together Native elder Clifford Mahooty, Indigenous scholar Paulette Steeves, and researcher Ardy Sixkiller Clarke to explore whether these traditions preserve encoded knowledge about ancient migrations, cosmology, or contact narratives. The conversation bridges Indigenous oral memory with academic archaeology and anthropology.Clifford Mahooty — Zuni Pueblo elder, retired civil/environmental engineer, and wisdom keeper active in Zuni religious orders including the Kachina and Galaxy Medicine Society. On Earth Ancients he discusses Zuni oral history, ritual life, kachinas, and connections to star people.Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke — Professor Emeritus at Montana State University who devoted her career to Indigenous populations and published work on Native accounts of “Star People.” Earth Ancients presents her as a noted American Indian researcher whose interviews collected first-person Indigenous narratives.Dr. Paulette SteevesCree-Métis archaeologist and professor (Algoma University). Author of The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas. Her research argues Indigenous presence in the Americas extends far earlier than mainstream archaeology recognizes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Every second Monday at midnight, a blood-faced ghost walks the ruins of Rollesby Hall — but whose blood stains his face, and whose death keeps him there, depends on who you ask.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: One of the most intriguing Hopi legends involves the ant people, who were crucial to the Hopi's survival, not just once, but twice. We know this from the cave drawings they left behind. But who or what exactly were the ant people? (The Ant People and the Anunnaki) *** The red-faced ghost of Rollesby comes with an an identity crisis. People aren't sure if the bloody face they see is the ghost of a murderer - or a victim of murder. (The Red-Faced Ghost of Rollesby) *** A woman is scared senseless when someone visits her home during a rainstorm… but it's not just any passerby. (The Faceless Girl In The Striped Dress) *** One thing people just cannot seem to resist is a challenge – doubly so if you happen to be of the criminal persuasion. If they're told a place is impregnable, it makes it an almost irresistible challenge. (Never Say Your Place Is Impregnable) *** Joachim Kroll, the "Ruhr Cannibal," terrorized West Germany for over 20 years, eating the flesh of his victims because "meat was expensive." (The Duisburg Man Eater) *** It is said that the Vatican is holding manuscripts that hold details about ancient races of man that used to populate the Americas – powerful rulers from the south, described as having white beards, and red eyes. Who could these people have been – and where have they gone? (The Mystery of the Ancient White-Bearded Red-Eyed Rulers) *** We all know the Nazis inflicted terror and death upon innocent people during WWII – but many don't know just how horrifying the treatment was, particular the experiments they conducted on living prisoners.

We sit with Indigenous Pueblo angler Norman Maktima. Norman grew up in Pecos, just outside Santa Fe, fishing the Pecos River with his father, a place that shaped both his angling and his identity as a descendant of the Pueblos of San Felipe, Laguna, and Hopi. He's been immersed in fly fishing since childhood, splitting time between the water and the vise, and by 1997 he was already guiding for High Desert Angler and earning a spot on Team USA's Youth Fly Fishing Team. Since then, he's built an elite competitive career with international medals, a U.S. National Championship title, and appearances at world championships across Europe and North America. Today, Norman designs signature flies for Umpqua, runs NMaktima Fly Fishing featuring Pueblo-inspired designs - he guides on the San Juan River, and coaches the U.S. Women's Fly Fishing Team, which recently took Team Gold along with individual Gold and Silver at the World Championships. Beyond competition, he's deeply committed to teaching and sharing knowledge, especially within Indigenous communities, using fly fishing as a way to connect culture, water, and opportunity.

What happens when a Hopi tribal member steps into one of mining's most complex spaces — not to fight it blindly, not to defend it blindly — but to bridge it? We sit down with LeRoy Shingoitewa of WestLand Resources at the AEMA Annual Meeting for one of the most powerful and perspective-shifting conversations we've had to date. Raised in Moenkopi, Arizona — where some villages still live without running water or electricity by choice — LeRoy shares what it means to carry ancestral responsibility into modern industry. From hauling water at his grandmother's home to biology, to cultural resource consultant, LeRoy explains how traditional ecological knowledge and Western science can coexist — and why both are critical in today's mining landscape. We dive into tribal sovereignty, legacy uranium impacts, water rights, permitting reform, trust-building, consultation breakdowns, NGO pressure, and what real partnership between tribes and mining companies actually looks like. This isn't a surface-level conversation. It's about preservation, accountability, education, and long-term relationship building. It's about starting with respect instead of checking a box. And it's about one man choosing to stand in the middle — not for money, not for politics — but to make sure his people have a voice at the table. Please help us welcome LeRoy Shingoitewa to the Face. Big thanks to the American Exploration and Mining Association (AEMA) for having Mining Minds out at the event. We truly appreciate the opportunity and the work you continue to do to support and elevate the voices across our mining industry.

Gita Brown came to flying the hard way: through crippling fear, a discovery flight, and one moment where she grabbed the controls and something just flipped. Now she's a student pilot marching toward her checkride, a yoga instructor, a music therapist, and the co-host of the Calm Cockpit Podcast. She also teaches fear-of-flying courses in partnership with Virgin Atlantic, which means she has professionally helped hundreds of people do the thing she herself was terrified to do two years ago. She joined us from a snowbound cabin in Maine, mid-blizzard, fully caffeinated, and ready to explain why your brain is failing you in the cockpit and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: it starts with electrolytes, ends with meditation, and somewhere in the middle involves not eating grapes.Mentioned on the show:* Calm Cockpit Podcast: https://calmcockpit.com/* MGM - Montgomery Alabama: https://www.airnav.com/airport/MGM* SISKIND - Time building vs Time HAVING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFw9CpSqwHA* Lovefly - fear of flying courses: https://www.lovefly.co.uk/* Seth Lake - VSL Aero: https://vsl.aero/* Seth Lake's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQS8w0x9swAMJRMhLY_P5g* Fly Oz - gateway to the Ozarks: https://www.flyoz.com/* LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/* Insight Timer app: https://insighttimer.com/* Baraka (film): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraka_(film)* Koyaanisqatsi (full fiml): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOA_dOrm_Mk* SISKIND - DO EASY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqsg-iW3KBw* Qigong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong* Koyaanisqatsi, Hopi word for "life out of balance": https://bureauoflinguisticalreality.com/portfolio/koyaanisqatsi/* The Deep Magic of Daily Consistency: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G6FJQSGW* Scott Manley - Explaining Why NASA's Starliner Report Is So Bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L96asfTvJ_AMidlife Pilot PodcastWebsite: midlifepilotpodcast.comYouTube: youtube.com/@midlifepilotpodcastPatreon: patreon.com/midlifepilotpodcast

Native Americans have worked hard for decades to counter the stereotypes perpetuated in old movies and television shows about the American West. Now a new generation of Native technology experts worry that artificial intelligence is eroding that work. Scores of AI-generated images and videos are flooding people's social media For You pages. The creations are within easy reach of anyone typing a prompt into any AI generator that scrapes information from millions of sources. Often posted by anonymous creators, the products of those prompts present vaguely Native visual and audio characteristics with little to no authentic cultural connections. Along the way they generate hundreds of thousands of admirers. We'll talk about the work to counter the looming onslaught of AI cultural appropriation. GUESTS Dr. Angelo Baca (Diné and Hopi), professor of history, philosophy, and social sciences at the Rhode Island School of Design Trevor Reed (Hopi), professor of law at the University of California, Irvine School of Law and an associate justice for the Hopi Tribe Court of Appeals Dr. Tamika Worrell (Gamilaroi), senior lecturer of critical Indigenous studies at Macquarie University Break 1 Music: Obsidian (song) Red-209 (artist) Break 2 Music: Digital Winter (song) Ya Tseen (artist) Stand On My Shoulders (album)

Tribes are among those expressing condolences to the family of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot over the weekend by federal agents in Minneapolis. Tribes are also raising concerns for their citizens in the Twin Cities as the Trump administration's immigration actions continue in Minnesota. In a statement, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe offered condolences and said it is standing in solidarity with its Band members and other Minneapolis residents. Tribal leaders are urging their members to carry tribal IDs and report any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) interactions to the tribe, as leaders meet with federal, state, and local officials. The Sprit Lake Nation, Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, Rose Bud Sioux Tribe, and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe issued a joint statement saying they stand in solidarity with communities in Minnesota, and expressed condolences to the family of Pretti. The tribes say recent federal actions in Minnesota include the taking of a Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate member, but they did not provide additional information. The tribes say leaders are in contact with federal agencies and are urging tribal citizens to prioritize safety. The First Mesa Elementary School was built on the site of the Polacca Day School on the Hopi reservation. (Courtesy First Mesa Elementary School / Facebook) A teacher who was convicted of sexually abusing Hopi boys for nearly a decade was recently denied parole after the tribe and the U.S. attorney for Arizona penned a letter opposing his release. John Boone was hired as a teacher in 1979 at a Hopi school run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1987, the FBI found photos and videotapes of 142 nude boys at his home, and Boone was sentenced to life in prison. “His name is still widely known on the reservation, even though it's been close to 40 years. We still continue to suffer to this day.” That's Hopi Chairman Lamar Keevama. “Unfortunately, we've lost some either to suicide or alcohol or substance abuse. Nothing will ever make up for what was done. It's an open wound that will never go away.” U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine has watched the case closely – even sending a letter to the U.S. Parole Commission in tandem with Hopi leadership. “And with the understanding that federal special trust responsibility doesn't end at the sentencing.” Courchaine also credits his tribal liaison Kiyoko Patterson (Navajo) and pays close attention. “She really stays on this for us.” The US agreed to pay $13 million to 58 victims. He says Boone broke the tribe's trust. “That creates a generational impact … But you've heard it from Attorney General [Pam] Bondi, you've heard it from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, that this Department of Justice has to be ensuring sex offenders and those who prey on children are held accountable and prevented from reoffending at all.” Jaylynn Hicks sits on an old stretch of road at the badlands near Killdeer, N.D., on Thursday, October 16, 2025. (Photo: Chuck Miner) For the first time in 40 years, a Native person is wearing the crown as Miss Rodeo North Dakota. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire has the story. 24-year-old Jaylynn Hicks of Dunn Center scored highest in the categories of horsemanship, appearance, and personality. She competed twice before, but persevered and will now travel the rodeo circuit across the country. Hicks is one-quarter French Canadian Chippewa, of the Turtle Mountain Band. The last known Native rodeo queens were Janet Voight in 1986, and Audrey Hall, in 1954. Both were with the Three Affiliated Tribes Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. Hicks says she's happy to continue this representation. “I love the fact that Native American culture has such a heavy influence on the Western industry. Whether you want to look at the horsemanship, the jewelry with we see such a huge influence.  The leatherwork, the fringe we wear on our jackets. That's all from Native American culture.” Hicks was declared Miss Rodeo North Dakota last year, and was formally coronated earlier this month. Besides educating people about rodeo culture and the Western industry, Hicks will also promote awareness of Angelman syndrome, a genetic condition that affects her niece, Sissy.

In this special interview episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro sits down with acclaimed science journalist Becky Ferreira—author of the new book First Contact: The Story of Our Obsession with Aliens. Together they explore humanity's oldest question: Are we alone? Ferreira, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, WIRED, Popular Science, MIT Technology Review, and NPR's Science Friday, guides us through the deep history of alien speculation—from ancient Greek and Roman philosophers to Hopi star-people traditions to the modern UAP debate. Jethro taps into his inner UFO enthusiast as they dive into:• Why ancient cultures believed the sky itself was communicating with them• The earliest “alien life” theories from Christian and Muslim scholars• The Fermi Paradox, Drake Equation, and what science gets wrong about “Where is everybody?”• Water worlds like Europa and Enceladus, and why alien life may be hiding inside dark interior oceans• Whether interdimensional phenomena at places like Skinwalker Ranch could explain UAP encounters• How humans might emotionally—and chaotically—respond if we picked up an alien signal• The surprising ways religion is preparing for extraterrestrial discovery• Whether we'll make contact in our lifetime… and what form it might take Ferreira's insights blend cutting-edge astronomy with anthropology, psychology, and the strange human tendency to project our own fears and hopes onto the stars. Equal parts science, myth, and cosmic mystery, this conversation asks why the idea of alien life has been with us since the beginning—and why we can't stop looking up.
