Podcasts about Native Americans

What do we mean when we talk about freedom? Jefferson Cowie, a professor of history at Vanderbilt University, addressed this question in his monumental work Freedom's Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power, which won this year's Pulitzer Prize for History. The book focuses on Southern white resistance to federal authority — in the name of freedom — over two centuries in Barbour County in southeastern Alabama (particularly in its largest town, Eufaula). The tale begins in the early nineteenth century with the efforts by whites to illegally seize and settle lands retained by the Muscogee Creek Nation — a conflict that, ironically, forced the Creeks to rely for protection on federal forces sent by President Andrew Jackson, despite his notorious hostility toward Native Americans. In the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, Barbour County whites resisted federal efforts to impose a biracial democracy, culminating in an 1874 massacre of African-American citizens attempting to vote. Jim Crow segregation prevailed in Barbour County for the better part of the following century. Elite rule and white supremacy were enforced not just through sharecropping and disenfranchisement but also through the brutal actions of convict leasing and lynching. Finally, with the coming of the civil rights era of the 1950s and ‘60s, Alabama Governor George Wallace – a Barbour County native – fought federal integration efforts and vowed to uphold “segregation forever!” Wallace's successes in Democratic presidential primaries — well beyond the South — in 1968 and 1972 showed the populist potency of combining racial resentment with opposition to federal power. In all of these episodes, Cowie demonstrates that white Alabamians defined freedom, not just in terms of individual liberty and civic participation, but also of their freedom to enslave and dominate. This latter conception of freedom frequently pitted local and state authorities against federal authority. In this podcast discussion, Cowie acknowledges that federal authority frequently fell far short of its stated aims and principles. Nevertheless, it was the only hope for those who sought political rights and equality before the law. Although the successes of the civil rights struggle in the American South have been uneven and partial, Cowie emphasizes that “you do everybody a disservice if you call a mixed bag a failure.”

#274 In this powerful episode of the Let It In podcast, Guy is joined by white eagle medicine woman, Suraj Holdsworth. The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they explore the deepest traumas and the potential for spiritual growth and development that comes from them. Suraj shares her work as a medicine woman and discusses various shamanic healing modalities. This thought-provoking episode invites listeners to consider whether life is happening to us or for us, and how pain can be a catalyst for transformation. Don't miss this beautiful and enlightening conversation. About Suraj: White Eagle Medicine Woman (Suraj Holzwarth) adventurous life began early, when at the age of 19 she moved to Alaska and became the youngest woman to climb Denali, North America's highest peak. With a deep love for the earth, she spent most of her early years in the wilds, climbing the highest peaks and guiding wilderness expeditions and retreats throughout the world for over twenty five years. In the late 90's she received a vision in dreams with indigenous Grandmothers to create the world's largest healing drum and to travel promoting peace through music. Beginning in 2000 and taking over a year to construct, White Eagle and the multicultural Alaskan community built the seven-foot, crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum.  In 2001, White Eagle and Grandmother Drum were launched on their first of many World Peace Tours inspiring unity, peace and “drumming up” awareness of earth sustainable projects with the theme “ The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth.  White Eagle is the founding director and Drum Keeper of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project and the 501c3 non-profit Whirling Rainbow Foundation based in Homer, Alaska. She is internationally known as a shamanic healer, seer, trance-medium, author, speaker, teacher, ceremonial and performance artist of Native American and European ancestry. She has since traveled over a million miles touching a million people in 20 countries with the 7 ft, crystal inlaid, thundering heartbeat of the world's largest drum of its kind, Grandmother Drum, and promoting unity, peace, tribal reconciliation, and earth sustainability. Her award winning CDs include “Journey of the Heart”, “Songlines of the Soul”, “Living Waters of Grace” and “Holy Ground”. She is the author of “The Magic Bundle” children's book, and “Songs of A New Earth” songbook. White Eagle is also the director and co-producer of the award winning documentary film “GrandMother Drum: Awakening the Global Heart”, selected as the Top 20 Spiritual Films at the Tel Aviv Spirit Film Festival. She is the founder and director of the Rainbow Fire Mystery School (RFMS) operating in Alaska, Hawaii and Peru and has led thousands of shamanic workshops, ceremonies and training globally for over 35 years. Starting with the acclaimed "Language of One" and "Heart of One" online spiritual programs, White Eagle has now expanded the RFMS to over a dozen certified online shamanic training programs. She is also the creator, director and lead instructor of the certified shamanic methods of Balancing the Shields© Community Mother DrumKeepers Training© and The Crystal Skull Method©.In 2013, White Eagle launched the Global Blue Flame Planetary Grid ceremony, activating and renewing the earth's grid in a one day ceremony annually with 62 trained groups worldwide.  Renamed by her tour staff, “Indiana Jane” for her utter perseverance to fund and travel the 7ft thundering symbol of the heartbeat of love globally, White Eagle has certainly “traveled to the beat of a different drummer,” placing herself in the midst of countless social, racial tribal and political conflicts, environmental crisis' and personal loss to sound the urgent call in awakening the heart of humanity. She has been honored to be initiated by many indigenous Elders and has been passed many of their ancient medicine bundles and global responsibilities. As a mother of two beautiful children and a total lover of humanity, White Eagle feels passionate that humanity can only move forward through positive prayerful activism focusing on the highest good of all and has often been referred to as the “Mother of the Rainbow Nation.”  As an internationally respected shamanic teacher and practitioner, White Eagle has worked in private practice all across the world with individuals, groups and organizations. She firmly believes that shamanism offers the most holistic and comprehensive approach to the human psyche and condition. She specializes in how the ancient elemental wisdom teachings, methods, plant medicines and initiation rites of indigenous peoples provide practical holistic tools for contemporary ailments of humanity. Her methods address the physical, emotional, sexual, mental and spiritual healing of the soul. She specializes in assisting the individual and community to heal trauma, transform the past and its karma, heal and transform grief and loss, heal all kinds of personality disorders by reclaiming one's personal power through what she calls the soul driver's or Shields. This in turn promotes health, longevity and expanded consciousness, accessing one's true spiritual power, meaning and purpose. She brings to this sacred work a spiritual curiosity, multidimensionality and a loving witness to each person's "hero or heroine's journey" exploring the mystery with them, their unique initiations designed to test their own self-mastery. She honors each person's path to enlightenment, allowing each soul to unfold a new hoop of learning and stabilize present moment awareness as the core and source of lasting inner peace.  She has recently gone through the most inconceivable and hardest human initiation possible in losing her only daughter Sierra (age 33) in 2022 to alcoholism. White Eagle's strength through this ongoing breakdown to breakthrough, death and rebirth process continues to melt our hearts and blast open our consciousness to a much higher understanding of life beyond death.

In 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II of England granted a royal charter for two institutions of higher education in the Colony of Virginia. The first institution was the College of William & Mary. The second institution was the Indian School at William & Mary, known from 1723 to the present as the Brafferton Indian School. The history of the Brafferton Indian School is a story of power, trade, land, and culture. It's an Indigenous story. It's also a story of English, later British, colonialism. Over the next two episodes, we will investigate the Brafferton Indian School and the stories it tells about power, trade, land, culture, and colonialism in early America. We'll also explore the legacy of the Brafferton and other colonial Indian schools by examining the connections between these schools and the creation of the Indian Boarding Schools that operated within the United States between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. In this episode, we focus on the history and origins of the Brafferton Indian School.

Native Americans SUE The Washington Commanders For DEFAMATION, CIVIL RIGHTS! RESPECT THE REDSKINS!

Historian Alan Shaw Taylor continues his conversation with David M. Rubenstein on the decades that followed the American Revolution. This defining era saw Native Americans seeking to defend their homes from a flood of American settlers, the intertwining of slavery in American politics, economics, and daily life, and an emerging expansionist vision pushing the country westward. Alongside these character-defining evolutions in the young country's economy and geopolitics, this era also saw America's cultural and religious identity begin to take shape. Recorded on June 13, 2023

The British acquired a large expanse of North American territory following the French and Indian War. But their oppressive treatment of the resident Native Americans fostered discontent. It all boiled over in 1763 as Odawa Chief Pontiac or Obwaandi'eyaag, formed an alliance among several tribes against the British occupation. Violence spread from the Great Lakes region to West Virginia. The resistance forced the British to change their official stance toward Native people. We'll recount how Chief Pontiac and his allies changed the direction of colonial expansion 260 years ago.

The story of Las Vegas begins with its geological formation in the midst of the Mojave Desert. Native American tribes, including the Paiute people, were among the first to inhabit the region, drawn to its natural springs and fertile land. The name "Las Vegas" is derived from the Spanish term for "The Meadows," a reference to the lush vegetation surrounding the area's natural springs. In the 19th century, Las Vegas was little more than a watering hole for travelers on the Old Spanish Trail, a trade route that connected Santa Fe to California. It remained a small and relatively isolated outpost until the arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century. The completion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad in 1905 transformed Las Vegas into a thriving railroad town, facilitating the transportation of goods and people to and from the area. The real turning point in Las Vegas's history came in 1931 when Nevada legalized gambling, making it one of the first states to do so. The legalization of gambling laid the foundation for the city's transformation into a hub of entertainment and tourism. The construction of the iconic Hoover Dam during the Great Depression also brought thousands of workers to the area, further boosting the local economy. In the 1940s and 1950s, Las Vegas began to embrace the concept of the modern casino-resort. The El Rancho Vegas, built in 1941, is often considered the city's first resort, complete with a casino, hotel rooms, and entertainment options. This was followed by other legendary establishments like the Flamingo, opened in 1946 by mobster Bugsy Siegel, and the Desert Inn in 1950. The 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of mega-resorts like Caesars Palace, The Mirage, and the MGM Grand, all of which featured not only gambling but also world-class entertainment, fine dining, and opulent accommodations. Las Vegas was no longer just a gambling destination; it had become an entertainment mecca. The 1990s brought a new era of growth and diversification to Las Vegas. The city expanded beyond the famous Las Vegas Strip, with the development of downtown and the suburban areas. The 1990s also witnessed the advent of themed resorts like the Luxor, New York-New York, and the Venetian, each offering visitors a unique and immersive experience. The 21st century has seen continued expansion and evolution. Las Vegas has diversified its attractions to cater to a broader audience, including families. The city now boasts world-class shopping, fine dining, golf courses, and a thriving arts and culture scene. Additionally, conventions and trade shows have become a major draw, with the Las Vegas Convention Center being one of the largest in the world. Despite its glamorous image, Las Vegas has faced challenges over the years, including economic downturns and natural disasters like wildfires. However, its resilience and ability to reinvent itself have kept it at the forefront of global tourism. In recent years, Las Vegas has also embraced sustainability efforts, recognizing the importance of conserving resources in the desert environment. The city has made strides in renewable energy, water conservation, and eco-friendly building practices. Las Vegas's history is a testament to its ability to adapt and evolve. From a dusty desert outpost to a glittering metropolis, it has come a long way. Today, it stands as a symbol of extravagance, entertainment, and opportunity, continuing to attract millions of visitors from around the world who come to experience the magic of Sin City.    

Sixth grader Ziggy lives in New Mexico with his dad and sister. When Ziggy was a baby, his mom vanished, a tragic all-too-common occurrence among Native American females.

During this fantastical night, they meet talking animals who have much to teach Ziggy if he will listen. This is a wondrous tale rich with Cherokee history, language and culture juxtaposed with a tragic modern day issue.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— The truth about January 6th is sneaking out a little bit more each day—now we have learned the FBI had so many undercover agents and informants there—they cannot even figure out how many—   Number Two— Hunter Biden gets a loud retort from the Special Counsel—as he tries to avoid appearing in court in person—we are waiting on the judge—BUT it seems Hunter still thinks he is special—   Number Three— How can we have any faith in government anymore—at least the government we currently have in Washington?   Joe Biden and his cast of misfits are officially the worst of my lifetime—and honestly, the longer they hang around the better they make Jimmy Carter look—and he was awful aby almost every metric—BUT slurring Joe Biden—well he has lowered the bar tremendously—which continues to raise questions about whether or not he will even make it to the ballot on November 5th 2024—   BUT its not just Biden—it is a cast of characters that are so incompetent—its hard to conceive how such a low achieving group of imbeciles could even be assembled—   I mean you have Jennifer Granholm, a former mediocre governor in Michigan—that as Energy Secretary has declared war on appliances in every single room of your home—and her attacks include your gas stove, water heater, air conditioner, furnace and the generator you have outside just in case of emergency and that is just the short list—   Granholm spends most of her time attacking anything that makes our lives easier and more productive under the all inclusive banner of Climate Change—to ward off serious questions about her questionable leadership in that department— I mean the lights are on at the Energy Department but Jenny doesn't seem to be home—   Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation—like everyone else on the cabinet has no experience at all for the job he currently has—and in fact is so unqualified you have to wonder how did he ever get through a Senate confirmation—when asked about new requirements for mileage and forced transition to EV's he usually skips the question and goes to some drivel about equity and opportunity—that frankly won't exist for anyone if this administration survives for any reason next year— it just seems that Pete's planes, trains and automobiles are running circles—unless they are taking him home for another vacation—BUT either way, you are paying the freight for Pete—   Deb Haaland—the Secretary of the Interior is a Native American—and that seems to be the sole reason and only qualification anyone could possibly find on her resume'—and she would like to run a fence around Montana and Alaska and place them in permanent park status just to save the planet—   Alejandro Mayorkis—he is a real treat—the Secretary of Homeland Security—that ignores the fact that just this week—45,000 illegals flooded across the border in just four days—setting all time records for the ongoing invasion that is not only NOT slowing down—but picking up speed—   At this pace—we will have allowed 10 million illegal aliens into the nation in just four years under the failed leadership of Joe Biden—which as I have explained—is more people than actually live in 40 of our 50 states—   And the list of failed policies and people is longer than I have time for—   But one of those people—a man who claims that he returned credibility to the Department of Justice—Attorney General Merrick Garland was on Capital Hill yesterday—to take questions about how the Hunter Biden sham investigation was run—and how it was hidden from voters leading up to the 2020 Presidential election—and how the DOJ tried to sneak a complete sweetheart deal for the Presidents morally casual son through without anyone catching it—   One of the biggest questions—or series of questions—focused on how the US Attorney from Delaware, David Weiss—who is now a Special Counsel—was unable to get charges filed against the First Son when requested in other jurisdictions—   Time and again the AG dodged questions of importance and the two tiered system of justice we are seeing—   I mean honestly is there anyone today who actually believes any of us would have ever gotten the deals on felony tax evasion and felony gun charges that were originally offered to Hunter Biden? No, of course not—but Garland—who appeared nervous under oath—tried to insist otherwise—   And that's when the true scope of the blizzard of BS came into full relief—when asked about who he has talked to in the course of the Hunter Biden investigation—the AG was suddenly struck with acute amnesia—   But that was a good performance—compared to how Garland answered other questions—when the topics and the focus changed—to the Capital riots—and people like Ray Epps—who was on video tape repeatedly cheering people on to raid the Capital in 2021—   And this is just another example of why so many Democrats are ditching the Party they once celebrated—because—it just doesn't add up anymore—the blizzard of lies is just too much—and the failures are just too much to take—  

The proportion of people living with dementia who identify as Black/African Americans is on the rise, and so too are the proportion of caregivers who identify as Black/African American.  As our guests talk about today, caregiving for people living with dementia takes a tremendous toll, and when this toll is set atop the challenges of racism in all its forms, the reality of caregiving while Black can be overwhelming. Today we talk with Fayron Epps and Karen Moss, two nurse researchers who are focused on improving the experience of Black/African American caregivers of persons living with dementia.  We talk in particular about: Terminology.  Acknowledging that the most sensitive terms shift over time, what terms are they using today and why? Black? African American? Black/African American?  We also learn that the term stakeholder, so common in research, should be avoided for its early usage as White colonialists staked out land taken from Native American peoples.  Why a focus on Black/African American caregivers and people with dementia? Why should interventions be culturally tailored for this group?  Feyron has centered her work in Black/African American faith communities and churches - a program she titled Alter.  Why this focus? Karen has a Cambia Sojourns award to pilot an intervention in which Black/African American former caregivers are trained to provide peer support to current caregivers (Peer2Care).  This seems like a triple win - the bereaved former caregiver has the opportunity to be generative, share their story, and give back; the current caregiver connects with someone similar who listens when so many people are tuning them out; the person with dementia benefits from the caregiver's improved sense of self-efficacy, decreased loneliness/social isolation, and better coping overall. Why are nurse researchers in particular critical to the study of these issues? And Karen brings a tambourine in the studio for I'll Fly Away (see YouTube version)! -@AlexSmithMD    

Thursday is World Alzheimer's Day. The disease is the most common form of dementia, which covers a group of symptoms related to memory loss and cognitive decline.Some research has shown that Native Americans are more likely to develop dementia than the general population. And they face barriers to effective care and diagnosis. A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota is partnering with tribal nations to improve treatment and support caregivers. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke about this effort with Jordan Lewis, associate director of Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team, and January Johnson, a community-based researcher with Red Lake Nation.Note: This audio has been corrected from the live version to accurately state Jordan Lewis' name.

This week, a new novel called Rez Ball uses basketball to tell the story of an Ojibwe teen on the Red Lake Reservation. Reporter Emma Needham interviewed author Byron Graves about this coming-of-age book. Image: Author Byron Graves from Red Lake Nation. Photographer: Mike FinneyEN: The Red Lake Warriors Basketball is well known, but not because they are the best in Minnesota. The Warriors, and other tribal teams, are known for playing a specific type of basketball called Rez Ball. Rez Ball is also the title of a debut, young adult novel. Author Byron Graves explains what Rez Ball the sport is: BG: Rez Ball is poetry in motion. It's a Zen state of mind. It's not controlled, other brands of basketball, you're setting up a play, you're moving a certain way. You're doing things in Orthodox manner. Rez Ball is creating in the moment, it's like rep freestyle. So nobody knows what's going to hit up, hit them at any moment your opponent doesn't know. The novel Rez Ball was released on September 12th, and isn't just about Basketball. Author Byron Graves shares about the other experiences he wrote into his book. BG: It's a coming of age story of a Ojibwe teenager going into his sophomore year. He has big dreams of becoming the next big basketball star. His brother had recently passed away, and he was the best basketball player that the reservations ever seen. And everybody expected him to go to a D1 school, maybe even go to the NBA, they were all hoping he would be the one to lead them to their first state tournament. And his brother, unfortunately had passed away in a car accident about a year before. So the main character trait, he is navigating the grieving process, seeing his community and family and friends and teammates also mourn. And also just trying to be a teenager who's falling in love for the first time trying to figure out who he wants to be as a person and trying to fulfill his own Hoop Dreams. So he's navigating all of those different things as a 16 year old, and you end up rooting for this kid. So it's kind of just a beautiful story of working your way through the hardships of life, while also pursuing a dream.EN: Basketball holds a special place in the hearts of Native people nationwide. Graves shares why he chose basketball to tell this story. BG: Basketball amongst Indian country, if you will. I think that's like the thing we all can rally behind. We all so many of us, I say we all I know, a lot of us who love basketball.BG: I remember like several years back when the Schimmel sisters were making their final four runs, how exciting it was, for all of us across the country, to see them on TV, and they were just killing it. And I remember hearing even like some of the announcers saying, well, they play a style of basketball called red ball. And I know like it was both a beautiful moment and also kind of a cool, funny moment. You know how Indian humor is like, we can think something's like awesome and kind of be chuckling about it at the same time. So that's why I picked basketball to tell the story.EN: It's no secret that life on the Reservation differs from what most Minnesotans experience. Graves says he wanted his novel to express those experiences and help people heal. BG: I wanted to tell a story of what was different about trying to make it as an athlete, and a Native American athlete. I feel like we have our own unique trials and tribulations. And it's never just one thing, or one of us, you know, three of your teammates, positive, your teammates, all of your teammates are all going through things that can be some extreme hardship. And how does that then reflect on the court when you're playing a game against maybe, you know, different community that maybe has it a little bit better.Or how does that affect the way you train the way you play your mindset in a game. So I was trying to capture some of those unique challenges that Native American youth face when chasing their dreams.EN: Rez Ball is available at many local bookstores and most major retailers. There is also an audiobook available online. Graves says to watch for his next novel set to release in Fall 2024. For Minnesota Native News, I'm Emma Needham.

Menasha, Waukesha, Milwaukee. There are countless Wisconsin cities and towns with Native American names. We learn the stories and meanings behind these names, plus why it's important for us to know them.

In Episode 582: Wendigo Woods we jump into a night of terror in the Wisconsin wilderness. Jon, our guest, recounts a harrowing night spent camping with his brother and friends near their parents' home. As darkness cloaked the forest, they found themselves ensnared in an otherworldly encounter, face to face with glowing white eyes believed to be the dreaded Wendigo, a creature steeped in Native American legend. Stranded without flashlights or weapons, their desperate attempts to drive the entity away led to a series of unsettling events that defy explanation. Jon's gripping narrative unfolds with vivid details, sharing their heart-pounding experience, the puzzling stick structures discovered the following morning, and the unsettling encounters witnessed by their youngest family member back at their house that same fateful night. Today we take you on a journey into the mysterious and supernatural, as we explore a dark presence lurking within the depths of the Wisconsin woods. In the Overtime segment, Jon shares another of his extraordinary life experiences, this time focusing on a downtown Milwaukee building that became the epicenter of their urban exploration adventures. With his brother AJ by his side, they embarked on what seemed like the perfect exploration mission, an old, abandoned building void of recent human presence. Yet, from the moment they entered the sole entryway, a sense of unease gripped Jon. As they ascended through the building's interior, a realization set in – something was profoundly amiss. Jon takes us on this mind-bending journey, as he vividly describes a possible accidental foray into another realm, where they found themselves peering through a window at the very building they thought they had entered. This Overtime will surely leave you with more questions than answers.

Sarah Vogel, an attorney, and advocate who fought for family farmers in North Dakota during the 1980s farm depression, shares her experiences and insights into the importance of public policy, who we elect to office, and the mistreatment of Native American farmers and ranchers. What we're talking about Public policy matters, and who you elect matters Family farming is closely connected to democracy The mistreatment of Native American farmers and ranchers was the worst Public policy matters, and who you elect matters Sarah stresses the importance of public policy and who we elect to office. She believes the wrong people in power can lead to bad policy decisions that adversely affect farmers and their communities. She encourages people to get involved in politics and vote for candidates supporting family farmers. Family farming is closely connected to democracy. According to Sarah, family farming is closely connected to democracy. She believes that family farmers are a protection for democracy and that the over-concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few threatens family farming and democracy. Sarah reminds listeners that many of the founding fathers were farmers, and family farming is integral to American history. The mistreatment of Native American farmers and ranchers was the worst. Sarah shares her experiences working with Native American farmers and ranchers during the 1980s farm depression. She describes the mistreatment they faced as the worst, even worse than the mistreatment of white farmers and ranchers. Sarah believes that we must remember this history and work to ensure that all farmers, regardless of race or ethnicity, are treated fairly and equitably. Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by family farmers and the importance of public policy and political engagement in protecting their rights and livelihoods.   LINKS MENTIONED https://sarahmvogel.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thefarmerslawyer/  https://twitter.com/SarahMVogel  https://geni.us/thefarmerslawyerpb  

The newest survey from the Pew Charitable Trusts concludes suicide is an urgent public health issue. Their data shows that while the suicide rate increased an alarming 30% across the board over a 20-year span, the rate for Native American and Alaska Native females rose a staggering 135% over the same time. The number for Native males is close behind. At least half of those people had contact with the health care system within a month of taking their own lives, indicating an opportunity for trained professionals to intervene. It's Suicide Awareness Month, and we'll look at the promising work to turn around a dire trend.

Our conversation today with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. Today, Tyler and I talked about Chapter One: Historic, Cultural, and Scenic Resources in the first segment.  Chapter 1: Historic, Cultural, And Scenic Resources Provides a vision and objectives to protect and enhance aspects such as the Historic Resources such as Native American village sites, sensitive battlefield areas, or key historic structures and districts. Cultural Resources such as artwork, archeological sites, and objects, canals or other human-made earthwork that is important to human history. Scenic Resources such as historic views from battlefields, pull-off areas on roadways to enjoy scenic vistas, scenic byways, or the view from or in downtown historic communities. You can find the chapter overview below and view the entire plan in various forms here: https://shenandoahcountyva.us/2045plan/ In the second segment, we dived into the community engagement and feedback they've received. Tyler shared a slide show/presentation that featured much of what they've learned.
