The Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, including groups like the Tlingit, Haida, Makah, and Chinook, lived along the coast from northern California to Alaska. They built strong cedar plank houses, carved beautiful totem poles, and traveled in wooden canoes. The ocean and forests provided salmon, shellfish, berries, and tall trees for tools and shelter. They held potlatches, special gatherings with storytelling, feasts, and gift-giving. This video explores the culture, traditions, and art of the Pacific Northwest Indians and how they worked with nature and honored the land they lived on.

Throat-singing Inuit sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay released their sixth album, offering a soundtrack to the traditional stories they grew up with. "Legends" blends PIQSIQ's cultural improvisational technique with sophisticated studio production. First Nations Cree singer LOV is on tour, propelled by the success of the video releases for the singles, "Matriarch" and "Mama". Her upbeat soulful, rhythmic style invokes Amy Winehouse, but LOV has a message all her own drawn from her roots on her Treaty Six Reserve. Country crooner Blaine Bailey barely blinked after getting eliminated from the musical competition reality show, "The Road". He hit the road with his own tour singing songs from his album, "Indian Country", with a classic sound built around lyrics full of Native pride.

Hasan Rizvi, EVP, Database Engineering, Oracle, talks to Bob Evans in this latest episode of Cloud Wars Live. They explore the launch of Oracle AI Database 26ai, the Autonomous AI Lakehouse, and breakthroughs in multi-cloud deployment. Rizvi also discusses vector search, agentic AI, and how Oracle is simplifying complex architectures for the AI era. It's a compelling look at how Oracle is reshaping enterprise data strategy for the age of AI.Oracle's Next-Gen Data StrategyThe Big Themes:AI Demands a Modern Data Foundation: As AI shifts operations from human scale to machine speed, enterprises must ask: “Is my data foundation ready?” Without intelligent data structures, comprehensive access, real‑time performance, and strong security, organizations will struggle to compete. The introduction of Oracle AI Database 26ai is positioned as that foundation. The urgency of this shift is clear: companies that delay risk being left behind.Agentic AI and Vectors Come to the Enterprise Database: Generative AI and autonomous agents require new data types and workflows. Oracle has built vector data types and vector indexes into the database so enterprises can perform similarity search, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) and agent workflows directly on their private data. Further, Oracle is enabling annotations (metadata) so LLMs can understand enterprise data schemas, improving accuracy. Finally, agentic workflows (AI that takes action) are supported within the database, reducing data movement, improving performance and strengthening security.Start‑Ups and Established Enterprises Both Benefit: The case study of Retraced (a fashion supply‑chain company) underscores how smaller, agile firms are using Oracle's autonomous AI database to innovate quickly: multi‑datatype support, agentic AI, automatic scaling, and reduced operational overhead. At the same time, Oracle's heritage in mission‑critical enterprise systems means large companies with massive workloads benefit from the same platform. The point: whether you're a start‑up or a Fortune 500, the difference will be how fast you move.The Big Quote: “We really believe that in in the age of AI, where you have to move much faster, you really don't have a choice but to start simplifying your environment. Otherwise, you're going to get left behind."More from Hasan Rizvi and Oracle:Connect with Hasan on LinkedIn and learn more about Oracle AI Database 26ai. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Dr. Kasey Keeler wanders with us to discuss her personal experience and her professional research on life in the suburbs as a Native American in Hennepin County. We discuss what it is like growing up as a Native person in the suburbs, how access to nature can be improved, and why suburbs are often overlooked as Native places. 

Before Basset Creek was named Basset Creek it was named by the Dakota and called Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ. Tawnya Stewart, an Ojibwe woman who grew up within a few miles of the creek talks about what it was like growing up in Hennepin County suburbs as a Native person. She explores why the original names of the landscapes are important, why she likes dual naming, and the importance of education when it comes to bringing back something's original name.

Wakara was a Ute leader whose power stretched across western North America long before the US claimed the land on which he lived. In this episode, Max Perry Mueller joins us to discuss his new book, Wakara's America: The Life & Legacy of a Native Founder of the American West, and how a story of the west that excludes Native peoples leaves us with an incomplete and often dishonest account of US history.   Dr. Max Perry Mueller is Associate Professor in the Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. You can find out more about Max and his work at his website, MaxPerryMueller.com.   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.

This Day in Legal History: Elk v. WilkinsOn November 3, 1884, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Elk v. Wilkins, ruling that Native Americans were not automatically U.S. citizens under the Constitution. The case involved John Elk, a Native American who had left his tribal affiliation and tried to register to vote in Omaha, Nebraska. He argued that by assimilating into American society and residing outside his tribe, he had placed himself under U.S. jurisdiction and thus should be granted citizenship under the 14th Amendment. The Court disagreed, holding that Native Americans born into tribal nations were not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States in the sense required by the 14th Amendment unless naturalized through an act of Congress.This decision legally excluded Native Americans from the rights and protections afforded to other Americans, including the right to vote and equal protection under the law. It reinforced a system in which Native identity and U.S. citizenship were treated as mutually exclusive. While the Dawes Act of 1887 later allowed certain Native Americans to obtain citizenship by accepting land allotments and assimilating, this was a piecemeal and coercive process. True universal birthright citizenship for Native Americans was not granted until 1924, with the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act, which declared all Native Americans born in the U.S. to be citizens.The Elk decision underscores the deep contradictions in American legal history regarding sovereignty, race, and citizenship, and it illustrates how constitutional protections were unequally applied. It remains a key moment in understanding the legal marginalization of Indigenous peoples in the United States.Daniel Ginzburg, a solo practitioner based in New Jersey, will argue his first case before the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, going up against renowned litigator Lisa Blatt. Ginzburg, who runs his practice with just a laptop and Dropbox, turned down offers from major law firms—including Blatt's own—to retain control over the case and seize the rare opportunity to appear before the justices. His case centers on a procedural issue: whether a default judgment entered against his client, Coney Island Auto Parts, by a Tennessee bankruptcy court should be vacated due to lack of personal jurisdiction.The underlying dispute involves a $48,696 debt related to bankruptcy proceedings filed by Vista-Pro Automotive in 2014. Ginzburg argues that the judgment was void from the start, but the Sixth Circuit denied relief, ruling his client's challenge came too late—a position that conflicts with other federal appellate courts. This circuit split helped pave the way for Supreme Court review.Ginzburg, who emigrated from the former Soviet Union and graduated from St. John's School of Law, took the case on a contingency basis after years of litigation. Despite the steep odds and high-profile opposition, he has spent months preparing, including mock arguments with law professors. Blatt, representing the bankruptcy trustee, argues that Ginzburg's client had years to object and failed to act in time.Ginzburg remains focused on the procedural integrity of the system, saying his motivation is simple: “I wanted to win.” Yet even if successful, the case could be remanded for further proceedings in bankruptcy court.NJ Solo Practitioner to Face Lisa Blatt in Supreme Court DebutFBI Director Kash Patel forced out a senior official, Steven Palmer, who oversaw the bureau's aviation operations, shortly after online scrutiny emerged over Patel's use of an FBI jet to attend a personal event. Patel's trip to State College, Pennsylvania—where his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, performed the national anthem—was revealed through publicly accessible flight data and Patel's own social media posts. Following the media attention, Palmer, a 27-year FBI veteran and acting head of the Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG), was told to resign or be fired. Though FBI directors are required to use government aircraft for security reasons, the optics of Patel's travel sparked criticism, especially given his past remarks condemning similar behavior by former directors.Palmer's firing marks the third leadership ouster within CIRG under Patel, reinforcing a pattern of high-level dismissals since his appointment. His predecessor, Brian Driscoll, is among a group of former officials suing the administration for allegedly retaliatory terminations tied to perceived political disloyalty. The FBI's leadership page now lists Devin Kowalski, previously head of the San Juan office, as the new CIRG chief—a change that was reportedly planned before the jet controversy. Patel's spokesman defended the director's travel practices as compliant and cost-conscious, dismissing criticism as politically motivated.FBI Ousts Leader as Patel Fumes Over Attention to Agency Jet UseA federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the Trump administration to immediately resume food assistance payments under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), despite an ongoing government shutdown. Judge John J. McConnell ruled that full benefits must be paid by Monday or, at the very least, partial payments must begin by Wednesday. He criticized the administration's refusal to use $5.25 billion in congressionally approved contingency funds, calling the decision arbitrary and emphasizing the irreparable harm caused by payment delays to millions of low-income Americans.The administration had claimed it lacked authority to distribute the funds during the shutdown, which began on October 1, but McConnell rejected this argument. He noted that Trump himself had previously issued guidance during his first term stating that contingency funds could be used in such scenarios. In a Truth Social post, Trump said he does not want Americans to go hungry and directed his lawyers to seek clarity on funding SNAP legally, which the judge cited approvingly in his order.In addition to the Rhode Island case, another federal judge in Boston ruled similarly in a separate lawsuit brought by 25 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia, saying the administration was wrong to assert it couldn't use contingency funds. The USDA previously warned it may not have enough money to cover November benefits, which cost up to $9 billion monthly. Judge McConnell suggested the agency could also tap into a separate $23 billion fund if needed.Trump administration must pay food aid benefits within days, judge says | Reuters This is a public episode.

Most Silicon Valley CEOs who cash out their stock options start another tech company. Yishan Wong planted trees instead. After helping build PayPal, Facebook, and serving as Reddit's CEO, Wong concluded that humanity's biggest challenge wouldn't be solved with algorithms or network effects—it would be solved by restoring the planet's forests at an unprecedented scale. Mitch Ratcliffe sits down with Wong to discuss Terraformation, the company he founded in 2020 with an audacious mission: restore 3 billion acres of native forest worldwide—an area larger than the entire United States.Planting a trillion trees isn't just about seeds in the ground. It's about solving bottlenecks like funding gaps that leave 95% of qualified forestry teams without resources, seed shortages, lack of infrastructure and technology, gaps in tracking and verification. Terraformation built a support system that includes modular seed banks, solar-powered nurseries, open source forest management software, which is called Terraware and a seed to carbon forest accelerator that's modeled on tech startup accelerators. Since founding Terraformation, Wong has enabled the planting of over 4.7 million trees across 394 species, established 19 seed banks and 21 nurseries and created more than 798 jobs. "We made Terraware not because this is the most genius piece of technology that will change the world," Yishan explains. "We said, hey, let's just help forestry teams achieve certain basic necessary activities." Unlike commercial timber plantations that prioritize fast-growing monocultures, Terraformation focuses on biodiverse native forests. Native tree species can support an order of magnitude more life than non-native species because they've co-evolved over millions of years. "Trees are the anchor species for a forest ecosystem," he added. "What you're doing is you're growing trees as the anchor species so that all of the other life in that forest ecosystem comes back."Terraformation recently won the Keeling Curve Prize and the G20's RestorLife Award. The company also received recognition at the Global Sustainability Awards, winning SME Company of the Year. Yishan explains why a former Reddit CEO believes in low tech solutions that are the right approach to climate change, how Silicon Valley's lessons about scaling systems could apply to reforestation and what it takes to build an organization designed to be replicated rather than defended.

In the pre-dawn hours at a local summer camp, Bureau of Indian Affairs archaeologist Syd Walker receives a disturbing call: newly discovered skeletal remains have been stolen.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #643 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played live by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, shruti box, acoustic guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-October of 2025, today's show begins with the stately, sprawling, meditative “Oh, Radiant Spirit”, a calming, unhurried statement decorated with Mariam's lovely vocal and Native flute above an evocative piano motif from Bob. “3I Atlas Is Coming” is a mystical, droning raga underpinned by Mariam's calmly consistent shruti box, Craig's heartbeat Native drum and electronically treated bottom-octave piano from Bob and “Let It Wash Away” is a playful, racing folk song built on a foundation of busy piano and chiming ukulele from Mariam with lovely Native flute passages and imaginative piano. “Fill Our Pages Of Life With Beautiful Love” is a mystical piece driven by Mariam's chiming mandolin and Craig's galloping congas and “The Melody In The Wind” is a gorgeous highlight, a deeply affecting acoustic-guitar led ballad with a simple, open progression and a vocal from Mariam that radiates peace and reverent wonder. “Beneath The Starry Realm” is another beautiful acoustic guitar ballad suffused with a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere and we conclude today's show with “Oh The Rain”, a hypnotic, steadily driving song built on steady ukulele, thrumming Native drum and restless defining chordal motifs on the piano.

"I can only describe the Process in poetry, because it's that spiritual for me." Jessica Harjo In July 2022, Jessica Harjo came to the Hoffman Process to learn how to parent after realizing the coping mechanisms she'd developed to help her manage the weight of motherhood and career no longer worked for her. And of course, she came for so much more than she could imagine. As a Native woman with a complex multicultural ancestry - Indigenous, San Carlos Apache, Indigenous, Chicana, Mexican, Filipina, Japanese, and European - Jessica found the Process to be deeply spiritual. She shares that she likens her Process experience to a sweat lodge. "Finding that moment where you're in it and you're closing your eyes, and you hear the songs, you can hear the prayers, and then you start to connect. You start to remember; you start to heal. And then when the flaps of that sweat lodge open, you crawl out on your knees, and when you come out into the life, you feel like you're born again into the world. That was the experience of my Process. It reconnected me to my spirit in that way. It lit my inner fire." Before the Process, Jessica realized that stress had caused her to forget her past and past self. Coming out of the Process, feeling born again, she realized she now had "new eyes." Going home, Jessica saw each member of her family as a spiritual being.  She saw the light in nature. She'd found herself. A little over two years later, Jessica attended the inaugural BIPOC Q2, a weekend retreat. She worked to heal ancestral wounds. Over this powerful Q2 weekend, Jessica says she came home. We hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with Jessica and Sadie. More about Jessica Harjo: Jessica, daughter Rulan, and husband Tim. Jessica Harjo is a soul embodied human being and lifelong learner. She's a proud homemaker and mother of three daughters, three stepchildren, and four grandchildren. For the past eighteen years, Jessica has worked in the nonprofit sector as the Director of Operations for the Tribal Law and Policy Institute. Her multicultural ancestry (Indigenous/San Carlos Apache, Indigenous/Chicana/Mexican, Filipina, Japanese, and European) has been a source of strength in her life and is reflected in her work to recognize and uplift multicultural and Indigenous knowledge. As a nonprofit leader, Jessica specializes in policy development, administrative infrastructure and team development, project management, HR implementation, business, and financial operations management. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Film, Media, and Social Justice and a minor in Business Administration. Jessica also holds an MBA from Mount Saint Mary's University. Mount Saint Mary's is the only women's university in Los Angeles, and is known for their annual report on the Status of Women and Girls in California. Jessica has volunteered on numerous nonprofit boards that serve Indigenous communities. She's an active volunteer for the Hoffman Inner Work for Indigenous Leaders Advisory Circle and the Indigenous outreach team. She provides support for other Indigenous Process fellows and graduates. A student of Yoga philosophy, Nichiren Buddhism, and Indigenous Mindfulness, Jessica is currently working on her RYT500 Yoga Teacher Training. She regularly uses her Hoffman tools to continue healing, visualizing, and growing. This has been the journey of her lifetime. The Process brought her to herself, and the BIPOC Q2 brought her home. Jessica and her husband, Tim Harjo, live in Oklahoma, where they balance their careers, family life, and running Sovereign Ranch, a first-generation, Native owned bison ranch.

We are grateful to welcome back Monica Lewis-Patrick to State of Water for the first of a series of tribute episodes honoring our beloved friend and colleague, Holly (ba) T. Bird, who died after a very short battle with cancer this April. Holly's work as a lawyer, activist, and community leader touched so many people's lives through her efforts to ensure safety and wellbeing for women and children, her advocacy for Indigenous rights and celebration of Native culture, and her tireless commitment as a water protector - to name just a few of the many issues that she cared deeply about and in which she brought her one of a kind passion, determination, vision, and love. We hope these stories and reflections on how Holly's life has influenced some of the other mighty water protectors in our community will serve to inspire you the listener as well - to join us in this work and to be a part of honoring this tremendous legacy. State of Water host, Seth Bernard, sat down with Monica in June for this conversation rich with incredible stories and poignant reflections from Monica's friendship and work with Holly. Monica Lewis-Patrick also shares updates with us on her work with We the People of Detroit where she serves as the President and CEO.

At the Crexendo UGM, Dave Michels, Principal Analyst & Founder of TalkingPointz, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to unpack “UCaaS Mobility 3” — a pragmatic, mobile-first model that moves enterprise calling from over-the-top apps to the cellular layer itself. Michels framed three generations of UCaaS mobility. Mobility 1 (find-me/follow-me) forwarded calls but split voicemail and caller ID. Mobility 2 (OTT softphone apps) worked well on strong internet — but faltered in truly mobile conditions (highway handoffs, variable coverage), pushing users back to personal cell numbers. Mobility 3 fixes this by placing the enterprise line on the SIM/eSIM: users choose business or personal at dial time, and enterprise calls ride native cellular voice for reliability, with full logging, recording, and policy control. The result: intuitive smartphone use (native dialer/contacts), optional UCaaS app, and clean work/personal separation without MDM intrusiveness. Michels highlighted why this matters now: Reliability on the move: Native cellular voice eliminates OTT fragility in transit. Compliance & CX: Enterprise calls and texts are captured and governed (finance, healthcare, education), and contact centers can transfer to subject-matter experts without losing recording/analytics. Frontline & deskless workers: Mobility-first roles (e.g., field services) can finally get enterprise-grade mobile that “just works.” Simplicity for IT & MSPs: One number can move across hard phone, soft client, and smartphone; less training and fewer behavior changes. Carrier convergence: With MVNO models (e.g., Crexendo's newly announced Xtend approach), service providers can bundle meetings, UCaaS, messaging, calling, and cellular — even globally — under a single brand and bill. Looking forward, Michels envisions “no more softphones” for many roles: users keep one phone, one dialer, two identities (business/personal), and enterprises preserve governance and data for AI-assisted analytics. For MSPs and resellers at UGM, the message was clear: Mobility 3 is a near-term, standard approach that elevates UCaaS into true mobile telephony, expands deal size and stickiness, and opens regulated and frontline segments. Explore more of Michels' analysis at TalkingPointz.

Federal food assistance is set to stop November 1 if lawmakers are unable to solve the government shutdown. That means the supply of food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to low-income Native Americans will begin running out without help from alternative sources. Some tribes are putting funds and other efforts toward filling the sudden gap. At least one tribe is culling their own buffalo herds to provide meat for hungry citizens. We'll get an overview of the situation for Native residents who rely on SNAP. We'll also hear about the lengths to which Alaska Native organizations are working to provide traditional foods to the people displaced by major storms on the state's west coast. GUESTS Carly Griffith-Hotvedt (Cherokee), executive director of the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative Lyle Rutherford (Blackfeet), Blackfeet Tribal Councilman Kelsey Ciugun Wallace (Yup'ik and Irish), president and CEO of the Alaska Native Heritage Center

Ridiculous west coast flatulence conversation and train hopping at midnight.

You can live your whole life inside the same walls and never truly know who — or what — is living there with you. For one young woman, her family's belief in the supernatural wasn't superstition; it was survival. In their narrow two-story townhouse, strange things became routine: stereos that blared on by themselves, whispers in the basement, ghostly footsteps crossing her room at night. Her mother called her the “little witch baby,” born with the sensitivity that drew spirits near. But some presences didn't just visit — they stayed. There was the gentle Native man who brought cool air with his presence. The old woman who whispered compliments from the shadows. And the darker thing that waited patiently at the top of the stairs, polite enough to knock three times before entering. As she grew older, the activity followed her — through heartbreak, sleepless nights, and into her dreams. Every time she thought she'd cleansed the space, it came back stronger, more personal. Because some hauntings don't end when the lights come on. Some learn your name… and your breaking point. #Paranormal #HauntedTownhouse #TrueHaunting #ThreeKnocks #ParanormalActivity #RealGhostStory #HauntedHome #SleepParalysis #GhostEncounters #Ghosts #DarkEntity #SupernaturalStories Love real ghost stories?

For one young woman, that truth took root inside a narrow Oregon townhouse — a place her family called a crossroads for the dead. For years, spirits came and went: the basement dogs, the Native man who cooled her cheek, the old woman who whispered “that's nice” right beside her ear. But the most terrifying presence never left. It lingered at the top of the stairs, knocking politely in threes — always waiting to be invited in. When her cat refused to enter her room, when the blankets dipped with unseen footsteps, when a man's shape pressed across her chest in the dark — she realized the haunting had learned her rhythms. Even grief seemed to feed it. Cleansings, crosses, and courage only kept it at bay for a while. And sometimes, when the night goes still enough, she can still feel the townhouse breathe back. Because some hauntings don't scream or rage — they wait, patiently, for you to speak first. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueHaunting #PoliteGhost #HauntedTownhouse #SupernaturalStories #SleepParalysis #ThreeKnocks #RealGhostStory #Ghosts #ParanormalActivity #FamilyHaunting #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?

Dhanji R. Prasanna is the chief technology officer at Block (formerly Square), where he's managed more than 4,000 engineers over the past two years. Under his leadership, Block has become one of the most AI-native large companies in the world. Before becoming CTO, Dhanji wrote an “AI manifesto” to CEO Jack Dorsey that sparked a company-wide transformation (and his promotion to CTO).We discuss:1. How Block's internal open-source agent, called Goose, is saving employees 8 to 10 hours weekly2. How the company measures AI productivity gains across technical and non-technical teams3. Which teams are benefiting most from AI (it's not engineering)4. The boring organizational change that boosted productivity even more than AI tools5. Why code quality has almost nothing to do with product success6. How to drive AI adoption throughout an organization (hint: leadership needs to use the tools daily)7.

From energy independence to workforce innovation, Montana is charting a course for long-term growth. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Governor Greg Gianforte at the Big Sky Bright Future Economic Summit to discuss how his administration is unleashing opportunity across the Treasure State. Gianforte outlines his vision for an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy—expanding coal, wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear—while ensuring Montana remains one of the easiest places in America to do business. With streamlined permitting and a pro-growth mindset, projects that take years elsewhere are moving in months in Montana. The governor also highlights his efforts to make housing more affordable by cutting red tape and increasing supply, and to strengthen the workforce through his 406 Jobs Initiative, which connects veterans, returning citizens, individuals with disabilities, and Native communities to meaningful employment. As Gianforte puts it, “No one grows up hoping to be dependent on the government.” His goal is simple: help every Montanan find dignity and purpose in work, build a stronger economy, and secure a brighter future under the Big Sky.
