Hill and her awesome group, Check Your Privilege, for putting her on our radar. We highly encourage you to follow @ckyourprivilege on Instagram and sign up for Myisha's amazing courses to advance your anti-racism journey.

Vice President Joe Biden will soon select a woman as his running mate. Today, America is accepting of females in leadership positions at all levels of government and many businesses. But of course, it hasn’t always been that way. All across America women faced the so-called glass ceiling. As they did in Oklahoma. Wilma Mankiller, Norma Eagleton and Stephanie Seymour are three examples of overcoming the prejudice of their male counterparts. History reminds us of the way it was and helps us appreciate present day attitudes.We invite you to listen to the oral history interviews of these accomplished women and enjoy their full story on VoicesofOklahoma.comFull interviews:Wilma Mankiller - https://www.voicesofoklahoma.com/interview/mankiller-wilma/Norma Eagleton - https://www.voicesofoklahoma.com/interview/eagleton-norma/Stephanie Seymour - https://www.voicesofoklahoma.com/interview/seymour-stephanie/

Valerie Red-Horse Mohl, the executive director for Social Venture Circle, got her first job out of film school working on the team of notorious investment banker, Michael Milken who created the modern high-yield bond market and later spent 22 months in prison for securities fraud. Val later applied her skills running her own investment banking firm, completing $3 billion in transactions, mostly serving the native American community. Never forgetting her filmmaking studies, she has directed and produced films, including the PBS film Mankiller, a film about Wilma Mankiller, the first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. Val also teaches a course in race and ethnicity at Stanford and sites on the board of the Center for Race and Ethnicity. Her daughter plays on the beach volleyball team for Stanford. Much of Val’s success and positive social impact relates to the skills and lessons she learned directly from Michael Milken in the 1980s, suggesting that finance and capitalism aren’t inherently good or bad but serve as tools that can be wielded for good and bad. Michael seems to have learned the lesson himself, having devoted much of his post-prison career to social impact. Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin.

In this episode we do a deep-dive into German Engineer Rudolph Gantenbrink's exploration of the mysterious "air shafts" in the Great Pyramid, reading at length from his website where he meticulously records every detail of the project to use a robotic crawler to drive a camera up the shafts and inspect them up close, block by block, culminating in the discovery of the now infamous "secret door".So many interesting features were discovered by Gantenbrink and his "Upuaut" robot, most of which were so overshadowed by the "door" that these other details are rarely reported. We remedy that with this show. Brothers of the Serpent Episode 085(All the pictures below come from Gantenbrink's website, www.cheops.org)Settling of the shaft blocks"Dixon's Rod"An illustration showing the partially completed shaft block, which the robot could not passBlock assembly where one of the King's Chamber shaft ends on the exterior of the pyramidEntering the "Mankiller" tunnelCleaning the access to exterior shaft pointThe 100 year old wheeled "battering ram"Installing the protective cover over an exterior shaft exitRecessed niches in King's Chamber shaft.

The Port Townsend Film Festival will be bringing to the BI Museum of Art “The Cherokee Word for Water” on January 29th. In this podcast, the film is described with personal insights by PTFF Executive Director Janette Force. This full-length feature film is about the extraordinary life and work of Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to lead the Cherokee Nation as its Chief. The inspiring story of how a young woman and mother became a community activist, leader, statesman, and widely respected human rights advocate for the Cherokee Nation, is depicted in this film by producers Kristina Kiehl and Charlie Soap. Charlie is also her surviving husband. Mankiller is credited with “revitalizing the Cherokee Nation's tribal government, improving its education, health and housing.” Her administration founded the Cherokee Nation Community Development Department, and by obtaining Federal funding, they were able to complete community development projects including establishing tribally owned businesses, improving infrastructure (most notably, providing running water to the community of Bell, Oklahoma), and building a hydroelectric facility. Her skill as a statesman, as well as community organizer, improved federal-tribal negotiations. In 1998, President Bill Clinton awarded Ms. Mankiller the Presidential Medal of Freedom, this nation's highest civilian honor. She has also received numerous other awards. The Cherokee Word for Water, tells the story of the Bell waterline project that helped launch Mankiller's political career, and was also the start of her friendship with her future husband, Charlie Soap, who has seen this film project to completion. The film, produced by Kristina Kiehl in 2013, has screened at the American Indian Film Festival, San Francisco; at the United Nations; the U.S. Capitol; and more than 300 times at colleges, tribal communities and at other venues across the U.S. In 2015, it was voted the top American Indian film of the past 40 years in a survey by the American Indian Film Institute. Producers Charlie Soap and Kristina Kiehl will both be at the film showing at BIMA to speak and answer questions. Admission is free, but reservations are encouraged, as seating is limited. Read more at the Film Festival site, and reserve free seats at Brown Paper Tickets. Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; BCB audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters.
