Kent Nerburn occupies a prominent place in the pantheon of writers who observe and document native life in a world where real people meet the challenges of real life amid the simplistic mythologizing/pathologizing characterizations of Native people to which we all a drawn from time to time. Kent does not avoid controversy in his writing process, he sees it as exploring what Jonathan Rauch calls "The Constitution of Knowledge" a healthy and robust discussion of ideas that allow us to develop revealed knowledge and truth from frank and often-ongoing dialog. Precisely what we advocate in The Radical Centrist Podcast series.This podcast celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first publishing of "Neither Wolf Nor Dog - On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder", documenting Kents travels through Indian Country with a Native American Elder he calls "Dan".This podcast is dedicated to the memory of Charles "Bud" Thompson, founder of the Canterbury Shaker Museum, in Canterbury, New Hampshire; and, at 68, Founder of the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner NH. Though Kent and I have never actually met, both of us knew Bud and count him as among our most cherished mentors.

It is to transform the world by doing what we love to do and what we need to do to bring about a new era of peace and prosperity.

This short but sweet bonus episode is about living in the moment and not taking anything for granted. I read a short excerpt from "Small Graces" by Kent Nerburn.

Kent Nerburn, author of “Neither Wolf Nor Dog”, in conversation with Jaipur Bytes host Lakshya Datta. In this podcast-exclusive conversation, Kent and Lakshya talk about how “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” came to be, how it became a cult classic that is used as a bridge to connect non-natives to the Native-American experience, how Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin) found the book and ended up writing the foreword of the 25th anniversary edition of the book, how the book’s film adaptation came together, and what advice he has for young artists and storytellers. Kent Nerburn is an American author and artist, having published over 20 works of fiction and nonfiction. His latest book is called "Dancing With The Gods". You can learn more about Kent at www.kentnerburn.com. He will be speaking at JLF Colorado on September 21.

Adapted from the acclaimed novel NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG by Kent Nerburn the story follows a white author who gets sucked into the heart of contemporary Native American life in the sparse lands of the Dakota’s by a 95-year old Lakota elder and his side-kick. NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG takes audiences on a deeply moving road trip through contemporary Lakota life. Its humor is wry and pulls no punches, introducing deep characters and poignant vignettes that challenge the viewer to see the world differently. Neither Wolf Nor Dog was audience-financed, shot in 18-days in one of the US’s poorest region with an average crew of 2 and a 95-year-old Lakota Elder, David Bald Eagle, as the star. The Lakota actor, soldier, stuntman and musician, David Bald Eagle was left for dead during D-Day and Christopher Sweeney was awarded the Silver Star from the Gulf War. Yet it was the film’s other star, Yuchi-Muscogee Creek multi-disciplinary visual artist, poet, and actor, Richard Ray Whitman, who was never in the service, who spent the most days under fire during the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Neither Wolf Nor Dog has become one of the widest released, truly self-distributed movies in years. Simpson flipped the Hollywood model upside-down by launching in small towns and it has the longest theatrical first-run of any movie in at least a decade: 131 weeks so far. Director / Producer / Writer / Editor / Cinematographer Steven Lewis Simpson joins us for a conversation on his determination to pursue own path of independent filmmaking, distribution, marketing and bringing seldom heard stories to a broader audience.

The Search Is on for a New Director at Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture CouncilDuring outgoing director Eloise Damrosch’s 30-year tenure, the Regional Arts and Culture Council has grown from a small Multnomah County bureau to a flourishing tri-county arts council. In the first of several stories, we look at the search for her replacement to oversee the $9 million arts office. It could be one of the most important hires for decades to come.Kent Nerburn’s Classic Novel, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” Hits the Big Screen and the U.K. - 6:36A notable writer has quietly relocated to Portland from Minnesota. Kent Nerburn has written and edited more than a dozen award-winning books and has been praised as one of the few authors who can respectfully bridge the gap between Native American and non-Native cultures. His 1994 book, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” — about his travels with a Lakota elder — has become a cult classic, and now it’s been made into a movie that’s currently screening in Corvallis and opening in Portland Aug. 11 at Cinema 21, with dates still to come in Bend, Ashland, Salem, Pendleton, Klamath Falls and Sisters. (You can find confirmed theaters on the film's Facebook page.) It also recently made a splash in the U.K. due to an unlikely fan: musician Robert Plant.Suspended Moment: Two Artists Explore a Devastating Act of War - 21:25A Portland visual artist and a choreographer have come together for a performance work that bears witness to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the lingering, complex Japanese and American narratives that have evolved since. Yukiyo Kawano is a Japanese visual artist living in Portland who grew up in Hiroshima, and choreographer and dancer Meshi Chavez is from Albuquerque. They’ve performed their collaboration, "Suspended Moment," in places with strong ties to atomic history, like Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the Hanford Site, and are now bringing it to Portland on Aug. 9, the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, as part of an event organized by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility: Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki - from Despair to Hope.Portland State Chamber Choir Releases the First U.S. Album of Songs by Latvian Composer Eriks Esenwalds - 28:31The Portland State University Chamber Choir sings way above its weight class, regularly challenging professional choirs to top laurels at international competitions, and a lot of the credit goes to PSU’s dynamic choral director, Ethan Sperry. Sperry has formed creative partnerships with collaborators from around the globe, including one of Europe’s hottest young Mozarts, Eriks Esenwald.The Portland State Chamber Choir has premiered a number of Esenwald’s works over the years, and this week it is releasing the first U.S. album of his music, “The Doors of Heaven.”To Open or Not to Open? With Eclipse Tourists on the Way, Businesses in Grant County Have to Decide - 37:15Counties and towns in the path of the coming eclipse are all wrestling with two huge questions: Just how many people are going to show up for this massive celestial event, and how do we prepare for them? After all, travel officials are estimating 1 million people are headed to Oregon alone.Grant County is in the odd position of having experienced big influxes of people a couple of times, from large firefighting teams to the annual Rainbow Gathering earlier this summer. We checked in with business owners to hear what they’ve learned about staying open for the extra patrons — or not.Remembering Oregon Poet Laureate Peter Sears - 42:36Poet and teacher Peter Sears died July 20. Sears came to Oregon in 1974 and was active in the state’s literary community for more than 40 years, serving as Oregon’s seventh Poet Laureate from 2014 to 2016. One of his goals as Poet Laureate was to broaden the base of the “global linguistic community” — instead of reading by himself as he traveled the state, he sought out people creating works in their native languages to share the stage and read with him. Elizabeth Rusch’s New Piano-Themed Children’s Book: "The Music of Life" - 47:01Once upon a time, a few hundred years ago, there were two kinds of keyboards: soft ones and loud ones. If you wanted to play loudly and softly on the same instrument, you were out of luck. Then one man in 17th century Florence changed that. Portland author Elizabeth Rusch tells his story in her new children’s book, “The Music of Life.” She and pianist collaborator David Saffert joined OPB’s Dave Miller to talk about the book and to illustrate what makes a piano so special.

"Somewhere in Jefferson, something happened where the European mindset turned and started looking to the west.

“It is much easier to become a father than to be one,” wrote author Kent Nerburn. It's true. Even for men who really want the job, it feels intimidating. We can master a sport or a career. But it's hard to control much of anything in fatherhood. When our baby starts wailing, we can't make him stop. When our son starts failing algebra, we can't make him pass. Fatherhood is much slower work. And what does it mean to be a father today? Today's “traditional” family looks very different than in previous generations. The father's traditional roles of provider and protector have seen great change. Often, both parents work outside the home. The dangers we face are the more subtle and insidious attacks from a culture hostile to families. While we still have a need for a nurturing, care-giving mother inside the home, a father's traditional duties have undergone a transformation. His role as a provider has been split between parents. His role as a protector has grown less obvious. Fathers today face a greater expectation to be far more engaged. With more moms pitching in as “providers,” we expect dads to be better caregivers. We change diapers and cook and kiss boo-boos. And that's great. As fathers, we should rejoice in the fact that we can take a greater role in raising our kids. But men still feel wired a certain way, and often, modern fatherhood doesn't seem like it fits who we think we are. Yet God is always at work, pushing against our impulses and helping us grow ever closer to His plan. Our flesh and fears may try to slow us, but our Lord gives us a spirit of “power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7).http://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/parenting-roles/fatherhood/look-of-a-father
