Climate Change and Anxiety: Some Data Climate or “eco” anxiety refers to people feeling distressed about climate change and its impacts on our ecosystems, the environment, and human health and well-being. It is rooted in a deep existential dread concerning the future of the planet. Symptoms include feelings of grief, loss, anger, sadness, and guilt, which in turn can cause jitteriness, nervousness, increased heart rate, shallow breathing, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite, or insomnia due to worry or concern about the effects of climate change. According to Grist, Google searches for “climate anxiety” soared by 565 percent in 2021. And according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, an all-time high of 70 percent of Americans express worry about climate change. In September 2021, the largest study of its kind found that the climate crisis was causing widespread psychological distress for young people between the ages of 16 and 25 across 42 countries from both the global North and South. Over 45 percent of teens and young adults said that climate anxiety was affecting their daily lives and ability to function; 56 percent said they thought that "humanity is doomed" and nearly 4 in 10 said that they were hesitant to have children because of climate change. From Solastalgia to Soliphilia: how Native American Ecology can lead the wayThe steps people must take to address their climate anxiety depends on each individual, as people are affected by climate change in different ways. For example, some people have lost homes or even loved ones, while many others have witnessed these catastrophic events unfold on their phone screens.Dr. Melinda Adams describes this trauma as “solastalgia,” originally coined by Australian philosopher Glen Albrecht to describe the distress caused by the destruction or loss of one's home environment. This concept helps people to understand and express the “psychoterratic,” or the relationship between human mental health and the earth's own well-being. Many have taken legal and political action to deal with their solastalgia. For example, last year Montana youths sued the state for its failure to recognize that approving fossil fuel projects was unconstitutional without further review of the impacts to the climate. Others have drastically altered their lifestyles, opting instead to practice underconsumption to limit their personal contributions to the changing climate. Dr. Adams has another solution, reminding those who suffer that the definition of solastalgia also includes hope. Hope can lead us either into action or ecoparalysis. It is within this framework that Dr. Adams introduces Native American cultural burnings as a way to achieve soliphilia, “the political affiliation or solidarity needed between us all to be responsible for a place, bioregion, planet, and the unity of interrelated interests within it.'' Cultural fires or “good fires,” which involve lighting low-intensity fires to heal the surrounding ecosystem, can exemplify this step. Not only do these fires restore degraded soils, decrease vegetation or fuel overgrowth, encourage re-vegetation and biodiversity, but they also deepen the spiritual ties people have to the land they inhabit. Fire therefore has a regenerative power, both spiritually and ecologically, as participants share stories and strengthen communal and spiritual bonds with one another during these ceremonial burnings. As a member of the N'dee San Carlos Apache Tribe, Dr. Adams takes Glen Albrecht's theory of the “psychoterratic” and frames it as a relationship between siblings. Subsequently, as siblings, humans and the land must help each other survive. By treating the earth as a more-than-human sibling, and by practicing cultural burns, participants can begin to heal from their solastalgia. Directly engaging with a regenerative process such as “good fires,” “grounds people's intentions and allows for deeper connections—to place and among one another.” “[C]eremonial fires create opportunities for social, environmental, and cultural healing among young persons (Native and allied)” (Tom, Adams, & Goode at 3). Essentially, the strengthening of community through spiritually uplifting activities alleviates climate anxiety by showing young people that there are people out there who share their concern for the climate and are motivated to do something about it. Who is our guest?Dr. Melinda Adams is a member of the N'dee San Carlos Apache Tribe and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Atmospheric Science at the University of Kansas. A cultural fire practitioner and scholar, her research focuses on the revitalization of cultural fire with Tribes in California and more recently with Tribes in the Midwest. Her work with Indigenous communities combines environmental science, environmental policy, and Indigenous studies methodologies.

Welcome to this episode of Career Stories, where we dive into the remarkable life of Bessie Coleman, a true trailblazer in the world of aviation. Bessie's journey is nothing short of inspiring — from her humble beginnings in Texas to soaring through the skies as the first Black and Native American woman to earn a pilot's license. Despite facing significant obstacles rooted in both her race and gender, she refused to be confined by societal limitations and instead flew beyond them, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations.In this episode, we explore how Bessie's unwavering determination took her across the Atlantic to train in France after being rejected in the United States. Her story is a powerful testament to perseverance and grit — she became a sensation in the U.S., refusing to participate in segregated events and advocating for equality in aviation. Her vision extended beyond her own achievements, as she aspired to open a flight school to empower Black aviators and inspire others to pursue their dreams regardless of societal restrictions.Bessie's legacy endures today, reminding us that rejection and adversity are often just detours on the road to success. Her courageous stand against discrimination, her relentless pursuit of her passion, and her ability to transform setbacks into opportunities continue to inspire countless individuals.

Send us a textGuest: Brent Taylor – Gospel Singer, Songwriter, Pastor, and MentorIn this deeply moving episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Brent Taylor, a gospel artist and spiritual leader whose journey is a profound testimony of grace, resilience, and redemption.Brent's story begins with a powerful act of love—his 13-year-old birth mother placing him for adoption. He was welcomed into the home of Wendy, a devoted Mennonite, and Glenn, a man of mixed Black and Native American heritage from a Pentecostal background. These God-ordained parents raised Brent in a Christian home filled with compassion, strength, and purpose—nurturing not only him but more than 160 foster children over 35 years.Reflecting on his life, Brent shared,“We are not the sum of what we've been through, but the sum of what God brought us through. We all have a story, but the common thread in all our stories is His grace. His love. His redeeming power. He has walked with us every day of our lives.”Brent opens up about the challenges of growing up as a mixed-race child in a predominantly white community—facing racism, rejection, and misunderstanding in school. Misdiagnosed and mislabeled, he struggled academically, often being called "stupid" and placed in remedial classes. It wasn't until later he was diagnosed with ADD. But through it all, sports and his vibrant personality gave him an outlet—and his parents' prayers kept him going.“I was great at sports and even better with people. Basketball helped me survive school. My personality and my parents' prayers helped me survive life.”Even while he wrestled with his identity and acceptance, God never let go.“When I tried to run, He didn't let me get far. I struggled with knowing who I was, but God always pulled me back.”Brent eventually found his refuge at the piano. There, in the quiet moments of songwriting, he found a voice to speak directly to God. Music became his language. Worship became his way of life.“Worship is more than words—it's the heart's action, a lifestyle of love in spirit and truth. It's our honor displayed to the heart of the Father.”Despite falling short, facing broken relationships, and battling inner demons, Brent never stopped being pursued by grace.“He chose me—even when I wouldn't choose myself. Through all the pain, anger, confusion, and lies, God never left. Through the Holy Spirit, He opened my eyes and my heart.”Tune in to this powerful episode to hear more of Brent Taylor's inspiring journey of faith, healing, and calling—and how God's grace has been the constant thread through it all.

Around 21,000 years ago during the last ice age, many scientists agree that a huge land bridge existed which stretched between North American Alaska and Russia.This is now the location of the Bering Sea.

Badlands National Park in South Dakota is known for its harsh terrain, ancient fossils, and striking rock formations — but it also has a darker side. For generations, visitors and locals have reported eerie experiences: unexplained lights, voices on the wind, and sightings of a ghostly woman said to cry out across the plains. Known as the “Badlands Banshee,” her wail is believed to be a warning — or a lure. Native American legends and settler stories point to the land as a place of spiritual power, mystery, and unrest. In this episode, we uncover the haunting folklore of one of America's most desolate national parks.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://moonmausoleum.com/the-hauntings-of-amy-robsart-in-wychwood-forest/https://www.historyhit.com/the-most-haunted-forests-in-the-uk/https://www.businessinsider.com/haunted-forests-around-the-world-2018-10https://connectparanormal.tumblr.com/post/640829278761328640/ghosts-of-the-wychwood-forestThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
The 78-day armed standoff just outside of Montreal in 1990 is credited with clearing a path for reconciliation between Indigenous tribes and the Canadian federal government. The country can count a number of initiatives, government resolutions, and task forces that sprouted from the violence 35 years ago. But many of Indigenous people connected to the direct action say any progress since then is slow and insufficient. We'll recount the conflict sparked by a town's plan to build a golf course and condominiums on sacred Mohawk land and assess the state of awareness for Indigenous issues since then. Also, what is the most effective response when public figures make comments that go well past acceptable boundaries? How are they held accountable? We'll reflect on a social media post by conservative commentator Ann Coulter that prompted rebuke by hundreds of Native American leaders and individuals.

Bacon's Rebellion, a revolt against the colonial government of Virginia led by Nathaniel Bacon in 1676, was fueled by frontier tensions with Native Americans and grievances against Governor William Berkeley. Bacon, a member of the Governor's Council, became the leader of the rebellion after clashes between colonists and Native Americans escalated. The rebellion resulted in the burning of Jamestown and a temporary victory for the rebels before Bacon's death from dysentery led to its collapse.

Bigfoot Stalks American IndianGrowing up in a Native American community, the narrator was taught about Bigfoot as a fundamental part of life, akin to basic safety lessons. This cultural knowledge emphasized coexisting with Bigfoot by avoiding interaction, a practice rooted in an unspoken agreement to mutual non-interference. As a high school senior living in a rural, wooded area, the narrator experienced a chilling encounter one night while walking home. They detected bipedal steps pacing them in the dark, a presence that became more assertive as it deliberately made louder noises. Using a passing vehicle's headlights as a distraction, the narrator sprinted to escape, only to hear a tree limb snap loudly ahead, signaling Bigfoot's dominance and control over the territory. The encounter profoundly impacted the narrator, reinforcing the Native perspective of Bigfoot as a powerful, sentient being that communicates through energy and actions, much like humans. The broken limb was a deliberate statement of superiority, reminding the narrator of their vulnerability in Bigfoot's domain. This experience, described as more intimidating than facing a bear or wolf, underscored the Native understanding of navigating Bigfoot's territory with respect, akin to passing through a gang-controlled area where one is seen but allowed to pass unharmed by choice. The narrator reflects on this event as a humbling lesson in coexistence, highlighting the creature's ability to assert its presence without direct confrontation.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
In 1973, Chile's democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende was toppled by a right-wing military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. As news of the brutal repression that followed spread around the globe, a group of activists in Berkeley opened a cafe to serve as a hub of organizing against Pinochet's fascist regime. Modeled after gathering spaces in Chile that combined music, food, art, and politics, La Peña emerged as a hotbed of leftist internationalism. Over the years, La Peña evolved along with a changing political landscape. Besides hosting countless international activist groups, the space became a hub for Native American organizations, Latin American music lovers, hip hop, poetry, muralists, and more. In 2025, as La Peña celebrates its 50th anniversary, the United States is faced with a crisis Chile confronted decades ago: How do we respond to the dismantling of democracy by an authoritarian government? This episode weaves together the history of La Peña with America's current dilemma. Listen to the podcast to hear interviews with La Peña co-founder Eric Leenson, longtime director Paul Chin, and current executive director Consuelo Tupper. https://lapena.org/ To see photos related to this episode, visit: eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/respect-the-patch/ Don't forget to follow the East Bay Yesterday Substack for updates on events, boat tours, exhibits, and other local history news: eastbayyesterday.substack.com/ Donate to keep this show alive: www.patreon.com/eastbayyesterday

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin descend into the scorching canyons of Nevada to uncover the legend of Queho — a mysterious, one-footed Native American outlaw labeled as Nevada's first mass murderer. Feared for decades, blamed for every unexplained death from the Colorado River to Searchlight, Queho became the ultimate boogeyman of the desert.But was he truly a cold-blooded killer, or a scapegoat shaped by racism, fear, and myth? And what happened after he disappeared into the Mojave's shadows—only to be discovered decades later as a mummified corpse surrounded by dynamite, stolen weapons, and a deputy's badge?This chilling story only gets stranger: his remains were paraded through Las Vegas, put on display in a replica cave, and literally celebrated in a parade. In this episode, we tell the full tale of a man twisted by legend, whose ghost still haunts both the land—and history itself.#Queho #TrueCrimePodcast #OutlawLegends #NevadaHistory #Helldorado #WildWestMystery #StutteringInSilence #DesertCrimes #NativeHistory #ColdCase #GhostStory #CreepyHistory #QuehoLegend #OldWest

Send us a textI'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from our latest episode. This time, I had the pleasure of chatting with Marlene and Douglas French Mullen about their transformative journey towards sustainable living on their land, "Sli Na Bande," which translates to "the way of the goddess." Their story is a beautiful blend of eco-friendly innovation and deep spiritual connection. Here are some highlights that you won't want to miss:
It can feel like there's nowhere to hide in the shortgrass prairie. But the Thick-billed Longspur calls this place home. The bird's burbling song helps create the high plains' soundscape. The species was formerly named McCown's Longspur after a Confederate general who participated in genocide against Native Americans. In 2020, after pressure from the “Bird Names for Birds” movement and others, the species was renamed for its thick bill, which is pale on females and black on breeding males.

In part two of our conversation with New York gallerist Bruce Silverstein, we delve deeper into his evolving gallery vision, his commitment to challenging traditional art hierarchies, and his dedication to championing overlooked artists. Bruce reflects on the inaugural exhibition at his new gallery location, Photographer as Sculptor, Sculptor as Photographer, which encapsulates decades of his thought on the fluidity of artistic mediums. He shares insights into how artists like Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Edward Weston have blurred the lines between photography and sculpture, often using the camera as an intrinsic part of their creative process rather than just a documentary tool. The episode also covers Bruce's proactive efforts to address historical biases in the art world, particularly his work with overlooked African-American photographers from the Kamoinge group, such as Chester Higgins, and his promotion of Native American artists like Sarah Sense and Dakota Mace. As well as the innovative approaches of contemporary artists Shinichi Maruyama and Marianne Tuijn, whose works seamlessly blend photography with performance, painting, and sculptural interventions.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the spending bill just signed by President Donald Trump will increase the number of people without health insurance by 16 million over the next ten years. The $1.1 trillion cuts to Medicaid will also affect Native Americans who rely on it to pay for health care through the Indian Health Service and threatens rural hospitals with a high rate of Medicaid-dependent patients. The new spending plan also substantially reduces the number of people who will collect food assistance through the federal government. We'll get insights on what these numbers mean for Native Americans who disproportionately rely on these two federal government programs. We'll also find out about the significance of the new Indigenous head of Mexico's Supreme Court. GUESTS A.C. Locklear (Lumbee), CEO of National Indian Health Board Aaron Payment (Sault Ste.

WAS THE REVOLT A CONSEQUENCE OF THE 1649 REGICIDE? 1/8 The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783, by Joseph J. Ellis, Ph.D. https://www.amazon.com/Cause-American-Revolution-Discontents-1773-1783/dp/1631498983 For more than two centuries, historians have debated the history of the American Revolution, disputing its roots, its provenance and, above all, its meaning. These questions have intrigued Ellis―one of our most celebrated scholars of American history―throughout his entire career. With this much-anticipated volume, he at last brings the story of the revolution to vivid life, with “surprising relevance” (Susan Dunn) for our modern era. Completing a trilogy of books that began with Founding Brothers,The Cause returns us to the very heart of the American founding, telling the military and political story of the war for independence from the ground up, and from all sides: British and American, loyalist and patriot, white and Black. Taking us from the end of the Seven Years' War to 1783, and drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, The Cause interweaves action-packed tales of North American military campaigns with parlor-room intrigues back in England, creating a thrilling narrative that brings together a cast of familiar and long-forgotten characters. Here, Ellis recovers the stories of Catherine Littlefield Greene, wife of Major General Nathanael Greene, the sister among the “band of brothers”; Thayendanegea, a Mohawk chief known to the colonists as Joseph Brant, who led the Iroquois Confederation against the Patriots; and Harry Washington, the enslaved namesake of George Washington, who escaped Mount Vernon to join the British Army and fight against his former master. Countering popular histories that romanticize the “Spirit of '76,” Ellis demonstrates that the rebels fought under the mantle of “The Cause,” a mutable, conveniently ambiguous principle that afforded an umbrella under which different, and often conflicting, convictions and goals could coexist. Neither an American nation nor a viable government existed at the end of the war. In fact, one revolutionary legacy regarded the creation of such a nation, or any robust expression of government power, as the ultimate betrayal of The Cause. This legacy alone rendered any effective response to the twin tragedies of the founding―slavery and the Native American dilemma―problematic at best. Written with the vivid and muscular prose for which Ellis is known, and with characteristically trenchant insight, The Cause marks the culmination of a lifetime of engagement with the founding era. A landmark work of narrative history, it challenges the story we have long told ourselves about our origins as a people, and as a nation
Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 122 – Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, New Hampshire, searching for a mysterious stone unearthed back in 1872. This fist-sized, egg-shaped artifact has several images carved on it, including a face, corn, and other geometric shapes. It appears to be Native American in origin, but matches nothing seen by tribes local to this region. This rock raises so many questions that some have speculated it could be a Thunderstone–a rock forged in the sky by some deity and then dropped to the earth. The mystery stone has perplexed archaeologists ever since it was discovered.

Episode 561 - Joesph Bolton - Old Grandmother's Tree - Celebrating Cultures and History through FolktalesAbout the AuthorJoseph Bolton was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island during the twilight of the golden age of French-Canadian culture in New England. Growing up emersed in his mother's French-Canadian family, Joseph enjoyed hearing the stories told by his grandparents and great aunts of a mysterious and magical place called Québec, otherwise known as “the place we came from.”After high school, Joseph's adventurous nature led him to enlist in the U.S. Army and he served in the Army's airborne forces as a paratrooper jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, much to the worry of his mother.Since he retired from the Army, Joseph has worked in various project manager roles as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force. While writing Old Grandmother's Tree, Joseph took a sabbatical from the U.S. Air Force and taught mathematics to young students for a semester at Holy Family Academy in Gardner Massachusetts.Bolton is of French-Canadian, Native American, Spanish, English, and Irish descent, and is profoundly inspired by the stories of his heritage. He lives with his wife in Massachusetts, and, in his free time, enjoys hiking and skiing through Québec and New England landscapes. His favorite places to go for outdoor adventure are the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts and Mont-Orford in Québec. When he is not writing, hiking, or skiing, Joseph enjoys reading about science, history, philosophy, mathematics, and worldwide mythologies. Old Grandmother's Tree is his first book.Meet the IllustratorAbout Natasha Pelley-SmithNatasha Pelley-Smith, born in Toronto, is a seasoned professional artist who graduated from the prestigious Écohlcité fine arts academy in France, in 2017—now integrated into Émile Chol of Lyon.

I've visited some temples recently! "Gospel Tangents" recently hosted a surprise live session, a "late night unannounced edition," much to the delight of its "night owl" viewers. I shared a whirlwind of Temples, Travels, updates, upcoming content, and even some breaking news from various Restorationist traditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw_a2PA5jAU Temples, Travels, & Timely Insights! I've been traveling extensively, leading to a "boatload of pictures" and a significant backlog of videos waiting to be edited. Despite the busy schedule, i'm eager to share my experiences: Community of Christ World Conference in Independence: Rick attended and captured his reactions to Stassi Cramm being ordained the new prophet. While there, he met a man from New Zealand (a "Kiwi") and expressed hope for interviews with people from the Temple Lot Church, including Tom from a fundamentalist group and potentially Stassi Cramm herself. Mormon History Association (MHA): This event also proved fruitful, including tours of LDS churches, such as an old one in Ogden and Joseph Soderberg's church where President Hinckley reportedly gained his testimony. Exploring the Strangites in Wisconsin: This trip was a major highlight. I stayed with Bill Shepard, a former guest, and toured various Strangite sites with Gary Weber and David Boice. ◦ A key stop was the Hill of Promise, which the Strangites consider akin to the Hill Cumorah. It's believed to be where James J. Strang found the Voree record, a "short record of the people of Raja Ramor." This record described a people similar to those in the Book of Mormon, with a priesthood structure mirroring Joseph and James's. The Hill of Promise also holds future significance, as Strangite revelations state that Daniel from the Bible will appear there to announce Christ's approaching second coming. ◦ I also visited the site of the unbuilt Strangite temple in Burlington, which was planned to be "quite significant" in size. ◦ Rick also drove by James Strang's house in Burlington, where Strang died three weeks after his assassination on the dock of Lake Michiga. ◦ A fascinating piece of news is that David Boice is moving to Utah at the end of July. Rick plans to visit Beaver Island (Strangite Island) in July or August, noting that while Gary Weber says there's "not a lot to see," one can rent a golf cart for getting around. He also mentioned Vicki Speek is working on a census of the island. ◦ For those unfamiliar, James J. Strang claimed an angelic ordination on the day Joseph Smith died (June 27, 1844). He translated the Voree plates and later the "plates of Laban" (published as the Book of the Law of the Lord). He settled in Burlington, then moved to Beaver Island, where he was crowned king and even served in the Michigan legislature. His efforts to stop Gentiles from selling liquor to Native Americans reportedly led to his assassination with the help of the U.S. Navy. Upcoming Trip to Calgary and Cardston, Alberta: Rick is flying to Calgary for his son's wedding. He plans to make a video about the Cardston Alberta Temple, which was the first international temple for the LDS Church. Some compare it to the Mesa Temple and notes its "pioneer feel" like the Manti Temple. The Cardston Temple's murals are darker, possibly due to varnish, and hopes for a refurbishment once a new temple opens in Lethbridge. Book Giveaways and Exciting New Releases The live session included a book giveaway for "Joseph Fielding Smith a Mormon Theologian," won by Mark Francis. Looking ahead, the channel is celebrating the release of John Turner's new book, "Joseph Smith The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet," which launched in June on Amazon. (The contest is over now.) Rick gave away an autographed copy of this book. Potentially "Breaking News" from the Temple Lot Church I discovered some surprising news regarding the Temple Lot Church: they are "going to quit selling the Book of Commandme...
"I Am a Man": Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice by Joe Starita https://www.amazon.com/Am-Man-Standing-Journey-Justice/dp/0312533047 In 1877, Chief Standing Bear's Ponca Indian tribe was forcibly removed from their Nebraska homeland and marched to what was then known as Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), in what became the tribe's own Trail of Tears. “I Am a Man” chronicles what happened when Standing Bear set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to return the body of his only son to their traditional burial ground. Along the way, it examines the complex relationship between the United States government and the small, peaceful tribe and the legal consequences of land swaps and broken treaties, while never losing sight of the heartbreaking journey the Ponca endured. It is a story of survival---of a people left for dead who arose from the ashes of injustice, disease, neglect, starvation, humiliation, and termination. On another level, it is a story of life and death, despair and fortitude, freedom and patriotism. A story of Christian kindness and bureaucratic evil. And it is a story of hope---of a people still among us today, painstakingly preserving a cultural identity that had sustained them for centuries before their encounter with Lewis and Clark in the fall of 1804. Before it ends, Standing Bear's long journey home also explores fundamental issues of citizenship, constitutional protection, cultural identity, and the nature of democracy---issues that continue to resonate loudly in twenty-first-century America. It is a story that questions whether native sovereignty, tribal-based societies, and cultural survival are compatible with American democracy. Standing Bear successfully used habeas corpus, the only liberty included in the original text of the Constitution, to gain access to a federal court and ultimately his freedom. This account aptly illuminates how the nation's delicate system of checks and balances worked almost exactly as the Founding Fathers envisioned, a system arguably out of whack and under siege today. Joe Starita's well-researched and insightful account reads like historical fiction as his careful characterizations and vivid descriptions bring this piece of American history brilliantly to life.About the author Joe Starita holds an endowed professorship at the University of Nebraska College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Previously, he spent 14 years at The Miami Herald – four years as the newspaper's New York Bureau Chief and four years on its Investigations Team, where he specialized in investigating the questionable practices of doctors, lawyers and judges. One of his stories was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in local reporting. Interested since his youth in Native American history and culture, he returned to his native Nebraska in 1992 and began work on a three-year writing project examining five generations of a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne family. The Dull Knifes of Pine Ridge – A Lakota Odyssey, published in 1995 by G.P. Putnam Sons (New York), won the Mountain and Plains Booksellers Award, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in history, has been translated into six languages and is the subject of an upcoming documentary. Starita's most recent book – “I Am A Man” – Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice – was published in January 2009 by St. Martin's Press (New York) and has gone into a seventh printing.
Our son had just arrived in the southwestern United States to begin his work with Native Americans there. In fact, his supervisor in his non-profit work was a Native American. And our son was eager to show that he was coming with a servant spirit, you know. He had a tremendous opportunity to do just that. His supervisor needed his help in cleaning out a septic system. The job began with our son's hands having to work in that sewage. But the job got more and more involved and so did his body. Before he was finished, he was in that septic sewage up to his waist! Needless to say, he never felt more disgusting in his life. And then came the shower; that long, wonderful, heavenly shower! He said "Dad, I have never felt so dirty in all my life, and it never felt so good to be clean!" I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "So Good To Be Clean." Getting really clean after you've felt really dirty is a great feeling; one that you might be ready for - on the inside. So many of us carry the awful burden of the mistakes we've made. We've got guilt and regrets that weigh us down, maybe for some destructive choices we've made or some compromises or some sin we wish we could go back and erase. Sometimes it can feel disgusting like all that dirt that covered our son that day. We wonder if there's any way to get really clean, to finally be free of the weight of it all, the dirt, the guilt, the shame. When Mark Twain was asked what were the two most important words in the English language, he said. "Not guilty." But when we know we are guilty, how can we ever experience the freedom of those two glorious words? There is wonderful, cleansing news today. Yes, it's in our word for today from the Word of God in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. God is talking to people who've got a past. He mentions "the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, homosexual offenders, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers." And He delivers the bad news that those kind of people will never make it to heaven. It sounds hopeless until God turns on His cleansing shower in the next verse. He says, "And that is what some of you were." Did you get that? Were? You mean I can be free from the guilt and shame of the past? How? Well, He says, "But you were washed, you were sanctified (which means you were made special), you were justified (that means you were made right with God) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." The liberating message God has for you and me is this: whatever you've done, whatever you've become doesn't ever have to matter again. Jesus Christ offers you the shower of a lifetime, to forgive every sin you've ever committed, to declare you "not guilty," to open the doors of heaven to you as a new, spiritually clean person. The forgiveness Jesus died to give you becomes yours when you tell Jesus that you're trusting Him to be your Rescuer from your sin. And at that moment the shower of God washes you completely clean for the first time in your life - and clean forever. Don't you want that? The past erased from God's Book? It happens when you say, "Jesus, I'm yours. You died for my sin. I'm putting all my trust in You and what You did on that cross." I pray you'll go to that cross and get forgiven today. Listen, if you go to our website you will have all the information you need from God's Word to be sure you belong to Him. That website is ANewStory.com. So many people have told me how they felt when they made this choice for Jesus. They've said, "It's like a huge weight was lifted off my back." That can happen to you right now, right where you are. And you can know how good it feels to finally be clean.
On tonight's mid-week, livestream show, I'm going to be speaking with a man who used to do things to try to taunt Skinwalkers into interacting with him. At the time, he lived just one mile from Skinwalker Ranch. Back then, he used to go to places that Native Americans warned him not to visit. After arriving at those places, he did things they would never do, for fear of suffering the wrath of Skinwalkers. Years down the road, he and his wife moved to Texas. As fate would have it, one night, not long after they moved to their new home, they were on their back porch, enjoying the sights and sounds of a thunderstorm. Suddenly, something made its presence known that caused the two of them to head into their house. After making it inside, he locked every window and door. What was it that motivated the man who didn't fear Skinwalkers to do that? We hope you'll join us, for tonight's livestream, and find out.MY NEW DOGMAN PODCAST!My new podcast is called "Dogman Tales.” It features fictional stories about Dogmen and people who have experiences with them.

Are we being prepared for something extraordinary—or deliberately kept in the dark? In this mind-expanding episode, my special guest is Paul Vecchiet, author of The Disclosure Paradox—a powerful novel that fuses UFO disclosure, alien abductions, Native American prophecy, spiritual awakening, and covert military agendas into one unforgettable journey.The story follows Louis Silvani, a passionate UFO lecturer and ET-obsessed blogger, whose life changes forever after a terrifying close encounter and a chance meeting with Mary Ellen Velarde, a Jicarilla Apache woman with divine insight into Louis's purpose. What unfolds is a high-stakes, multidimensional mission involving abductees, psychic abilities, secret government coverups, and a spiritual revolution that challenges everything we know about our origins and our destiny.If you're fascinated by extraterrestrial life, alien contact, government disclosure, hybrid programs, interdimensional beings, indigenous prophecy, military abductions, or the intersection of science and spirituality, this episode is for you. We'll discuss spiritual transformation, the hidden truth behind UFO sightings, cosmic destiny, and whether humanity is being nudged—or forced—toward a paradigm-shifting moment of Disclosure.This conversation is for truth seekers, spiritually awakened souls, military veterans with UFO experiences, and anyone questioning whether the official narrative is just a distraction from a much deeper cosmic reality.So tune in, Mysterians, as we explore the extraordinary with Paul Vecchiet—and ask the ultimate question: Is Disclosure the event that will finally awaken humanity... or just the beginning of something far more profound?

In Episode 407: Native American Battle House, we are joined by Jenny. She and her ex-husband bought their first home in 2003. Almost from the time they moved in, weird things started to happen, like hearing a voice through the baby monitor that talked to Jenny's infant son and knocks on Jenny's brother's bedroom door. As time went on, she also saw shadow people, orbs and things that moved on their own; heard footsteps and conversations that stopped as she approached; and witnessed a full body apparition. But it was not until her son had experiences that left him too scared to sleep that Jenny finally contacted a paranormal team to investigate the house. She had hoped they could provide a rational explanation for the things that were happening around her, but that would not be the case. The team informed her that not only was she experiencing paranormal activity, but whatever the source of the activity really was, it was not very nice. Following the investigation, Jenny and her family blessed the house and contacted a shaman, a second paranormal team, a touch psychic, and a medium – but despite their intervention, the paranormal activity remained so strong they ultimately ended up abandoning their home completely.
