"We need to let our comrades be as brave as they wanna be, as brave as they can, and sometimes braver than us, and hopefully they inspire us." Mark k. Tilsen is an Oglala Lakota Poet Educator from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He joins the show to share poetry, the necessity of cynicism, what we're willing to give up and more.

Mark is many things, he is an activist, educator, poet, and thought leader. He should also add badass to that list. Mark is an impressive individual who I look to for wisdom. While he is much younger than an elder, he brings the elder knowledge. I'm excited to bring you all this chat I had with him because I have been looking forward to having this chat. I would consider us friends, but if Mark asked me what I think of him, I'd tell him I needed a Lakota friend to fill my quota. This dude is a smart AF and wise beyond his years. I'm excited to see what this guy does with his life and the impact he leaves everywhere he goes. I brought him on to talk film, but we ended up just talking. I want to bring him back on to talk specifically about representation, but thankfully that's for another time. 

In this episode, we’ll be talking about love and rage, and the creative art of direct action with Katie Loncke of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship; acclaimed independent filmmaker, Sundance Institute Native and Indigenous fellow and creative producer at the NDN collective Willi White; and poet/author of “It Ain't Over Until We're Smoking Cigars On The Drill Pad: Poems from Standing Rock and the Front Lines,” Mark Tilsen.

Mark Tilsen sits down with Arlo and discusses the July 3rd action in Keystone. Also, what life was like after Standing Rock and among other things, like "emergence".

In our visit with Mark Tilsen in the Black Hills for Episode 5 about Tanka Bar, our interview happened to take place right before a prayer walk to a proposed gold mining site up the creek from Mark's place.  As I began to include this synchronous content in the Tanka Bar episode, I realized that it lit up a section of the rabbit hole that needed it's own episode for a proper introduction, so I created this bonus episode to explore some of the complexities that emerged while looking at gold mining in the Black Hills.  It includes another historical introduction, audio from the prayer walk, and recordings from phone conversations with Mark Tilsen and Cheryl Rowe of Dakota Rural Action. Here's a photo of the Homestake Mine site, photo credit to Rachel Harris: Links: Tanka Bar: Dakota Rural Action:  Mineral Mountain Resources:  U.N.

In this episode, the second of four in this series on the bison in the Great Plains, we visit the lands of the Oglala Lakota in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota, where we met with Mark Tilsen, cofounder of Tanka Bar.   Tanka Bar, a company owned and operated by the Oglala Lakota of the Pine Ridge Reservation, created the first commercial bison meat and fruit bar based on one of their sacred foods, called wasna.  The mission of Tanka Bar is to restore the Pine Ridge landscape and economy by bringing back the buffalo.  Before the interview with Mark, I also share a bit more history of the time of the buffalo slaughter.  I feel it's useful to have some understanding of the creation of the wounds that Tanka Bar is working to help heal. There's also a bonus episode that wove with the buffalo investigation in the Black Hills, that will be released days after this one. We'll look at historic and and current natural resource struggles in lands granted to the Oglala Lakota in 1868.  It's much the same story as the extermination of the buffalo that we dive deeper into in this episode, but has enough non-buffalo complexities that I decided to give it it's own space in a bonus episode.  It includes an interview with Cheryl Rowe of Dakota Rural Action. You can find out more about Tanka Bar and the Tanka Fund at the following links: You can find the album, Under a Buffalo Sun, containing John Trudell's Buffalo Wild poem, and another album of Mignon and Good Shield's entitled Soul-A-Mente.

Native American Natural Foods makes Tanka Bars, the first brand of bison meat bars, experienced a couple of ups and downs in business since it started in 2006. But since competition from non-Native companies swept up all the investments and money in the last couple of years, Tanka Bar is left to restructure its brand. In this episode, I talk with Mark Tilsen, president and co-founder of Native American Natural Foods. The New Food Economy article: “Bison bars were supposed to restore Native communities and grass-based ranches. Then came Epic Provisions.”

Gyasi and Wes are joined via phone by Indigenous revolutionary Mark Tilsen who is on the frontlines of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline battle. This is one you have to hear.

Mark Tilsen President and Co-Founder of Native American Natural Foods, the innovator of the first national meat snack bar, Tanka Bar, joins our podcast. Tilsen explains how the Tanka Bar is helping break the social, economic, and political isolation of the Indian reservation where it is produced and how buffalo meat is healthier and more environmentally sustainable than beef.

In this episode of Palestinians Podcast we hear a live story told in October 2016 at Palestinians, Live Boston. Activist Salma Abu Ayyash tells us about her experiences at Standing Rock in Sioux Country. She describes her solidarity with indigenous movements and the reasons why all Palestinians should feel called to protect indigenous lands. Salma's live story references many photos that can be found on our blog. The memory song is performed by Mark Tilsen.
