Claire de Mézerville López welcomes back Kendall Hughes, D.Min., to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Join us as Dr. Hughes shares moving stories—from a group of teens who made amends after a traumatic act of vandalism, to incarcerated men working through shame and accountability in a high-security penitentiary. These stories highlight the power of restoring dignity and finding healing through meaningful change. Reflecting on his rich learning journey, Dr. Hughes draws from Indigenous teachings, global traditions, and interfaith wisdom. His commitment to continued education and cultural responsiveness showcases why lifelong learning is essential for restorative facilitators. Whether it's through role-playing in training sessions or learning from Ojibwe, Navajo, Somali, and Liberian communities, Hughes emphasizes the importance of humility and curiosity in this work. Dr. Hughes has extensive experience starting and leading restorative programs in the Federal Bureau of Prisons and for the state of Minnesota Office of Restorative Practices. He began his career in a nonprofit, learning from leaders in lower income communities as they built affordable housing, places of worship, and schools. He spent two decades as a chaplain in federal prisons. Working with incarcerated men, he developed an18-month residential program offering skill building, encouraging relationships, and opportunities for transformative dialogues with survivors of violent crimes and men who had caused deep harm. In 2019, Dr. Hughes co-founded Three Rivers Restorative Justice, focusing on pre-charge restorative conferences and training facilitators. He has served on the Third Judicial District's Committee on Equity and Justice as well as the Dodge and Olmsted County Corrections Taskforce. While earning his Doctorate of Ministry, he wrote a thesis on how chaplains in the Bureau of Prisons can reduce recidivism. Tune in to learn more from Dr. Hughes and to explore how dignity-centered approaches create space for social and personal transformation.
Bringing back Southwest peach orchards won't be easy, but researchers are on the lookout for remaining trees—and they need help. And, the newly discovered Lokiceratops is challenging paleontologists' understanding of how horned dinosaurs evolved and existed together. How A Navajo Plant Researcher Is Reviving A Desert PeachWhen you think of states known for their peaches, Utah might not be at the top of your list. But there is a variety—the Southwest peach—that grows in this arid landscape, and Native communities have cultivated this tree since the 1600s. But many of the orchards were intentionally destroyed by colonizers hundreds of years ago, and the remaining trees are now scattered across the region.A local scientist and member of the Navajo Nation is on a mission to track down Southwest peach trees so we can learn more about how these peaches are so well-suited to grow in the desert.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Flora Lichtman spoke with Reagan Wytsalucy, plant scientist and assistant professor at Utah State University Extension in San Juan County, Utah. She researches traditional Native American crops, including the Southwest peach.Meet Lokiceratops, A Giant Dinosaur With Blade-Like HornsThe Intermountain West is a dinosaur nerd's dream because it's such a hotspot for fossils. Some of the most famous dino fossils in the world, like T. rex, triceratops, and stegosaurus can be found in western North America. So, of course, Science Friday couldn't go to Salt Lake City, Utah, without digging into some dinosaur science.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Ira Flatow spoke with the scientists behind the discovery of Lokiceratops, a large dinosaur with impressive horns that was unveiled in 2024. Dr. Mark Loewen, vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah; and Savhannah Carpenter, paleontologist and school outreach coordinator at the Natural History Museum of Utah, discuss how they figured out Loki was a new dinosaur, the process of describing and naming the fossil, and what it taught them about dino evolution.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this episode of Native Circles, Dr. Farina King, co-editor of COVID-19 in Indian Country, talks with co-authors Dr. Amoneeta Beckstein and Dr. Tapati Dutta about their chapter, exploring the lived experiences of eight Native American college students during the pandemic. Drawing from semi-structured interviews, the chapter centers the students' voices as they navigate the challenges of COVID-19—illuminating themes of historical trauma, mental health struggles, and educational disruptions rooted in colonial legacies. Yet, amid these hardships, stories of resilience or "reziliency," cultural strength, and community support arise. In this conversation, the authors reflect on their perspectives as researchers and underscore the students' expressions of survivance, collectivistic coping, and cultural healing.Dr. Beckstein is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Fort Lewis College whose work focuses on multicultural counseling, mindfulness, and decolonizing psychology to promote healing for BIPOC and Indigenous communities. He previously directed the Counseling Center at Webster University Thailand and brings a creative approach to mental health, including poetry and advocacy. Dr. Dutta is an Assistant Professor of Public Health at Fort Lewis College with over 25 years of experience in global health, focusing on health disparities and community-based interventions for marginalized populations. She is a Master Certified Health Education Specialist and a TEDx speaker recognized for her work in HIV prevention and compassionate public health education.Resources:Amoneeta Beckstein and Tapati Dutta, "Lived Experiences of Native American College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic," in COVID-19 in Indian Country: Native American Memories and Experiences of the Pandemic, eds.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. is overseeing an unprecedented cut of nearly a quarter of the department's staff, drawing widespread concerns about possible adverse affects for thousands of Native Americans who depend on those services. Everything from bill processing to testing and research to prevent lead contamination in children could be constricted. At the same time, Sec. Kennedy successfully reversed Elon Musk's termination of 900 Indian Health Service employees by the Department of Government Efficiency.

6 TRUE SCARY NAVAJO NATIVE AMERICAN HORROR STORIES Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
WAYS OF KNOWING: A NAVAJO NUCLEAR HISTORY tells the story of the impact of uranium mining on the Navajo community. This film is a unique collaboration between a Navajo storyteller Sunny Dooley and nuclear nonproliferation expert Lovely Umayam where the story of US nuclear history is told through an indigenous lens. This means telling the story of how nuclear policy has impacted Navajo land, but also on the intergenerational impact on the Navajo people. The fully immersive quality of 360 video allows Dooley to preserve the full context of how she would tell the story to her community. This was my favorite interview from SXSW 2025 as it is another great example of how the immersive quality of VR is able to capture and transmit indigenous ways of knowing, and how this indigenous perspective is also changing how nuclear nonproliferation experts are thinking about these nuclear policy issues. This film would also not be able to be told the same way if it was only 180 degrees, and it is a prescient example of the affordances of VR to be able to tell the story of a place with its full relational context. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

Vaccines for the coronavirus have reduced the scope and severity of COVID-19 infections, but for as many as a third of the people who contract COVID, symptoms of the disease persist and cause potentially disabling affects day after day. Long COVID affects as many as 23 million Americans. Symptoms include persistent headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, and memory and concentration problems. In addition to the personal and medical burdens, several studies indicate the global financial drain from long COVID is anywhere from $1 trillion to $6 trillion.

The Anasazi, also called the Ancestral Puebloans, were an ancient Native American culture that flourished in the Four Corners region (present-day Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico) from roughly 100 AD to 1300 AD, known for their advanced agricultural practices, cliff dwellings, and pottery. The name "Anasazi" has come to mean "ancient people," although the word itself is Navajo, meaning "enemy ancestors." The Anasazi were one of four major prehistoric archaeological traditions recognized in the American Southwest along with the Mogollon, Hohokam, and Patayan, but of the four, the Anasazi were known as the deadliest and were known to mix human meat with maize as not only for ritual purposes but dietary as well. Jon from 21CD Podcast is back to join Joel on a fascinating journey of Oasisamerican discovery of the origins of corn and what its original purpose was as a gift from the "gods". They look at apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch and Jubilees to understand the beginnings of genetically modified food. They then focus on Quetzalcoatl, "The Feathered Serpent", and the god's connection to human sacrifices and the eating of tlacatlaolli. Lastly, Joel and Jon explore the book, "Man Corn" by Christy G. Turner II, and his evidence for cannibalism among the Anasazi, by developing a set of six criteria for determining whether human cannibalism was likely to have occurred, based on analysis of archaeological remains.

John's monologue this time discusses Trump's executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to "take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education," and to do so "to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law."

Then, he welcomes back Reverend Barry Lynn to chat about Elon and DOGE, the future of US education, and the best movies this year. And finally, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella are back for their Native American segment "We're Still Here".

Navajo officials demand apology, explanation over code talker ban Siletz tribes regain subsistence rights on their ancestral lands
In Anatomy of a Psychotic Experience (Ipbooks, 2022), psychoanalyst Richard Reichbart recounts a psychotic experience when he was in his thirties juxtaposing an account written a few years after the experience with reflections made decades later. This unique work captures both the subjective experience of a particular kind of psychosis, and the analytic interpretation of that experience. "He graphically portrays both the feel and the logic of a psychotic episode foreshadowed by his separation from college and from law school and ultimately precipitated by the loss of his beloved grandfather. His search for his identity led him to the Navajo reservation which was 'ideal for the nurturance of my psychosis.' He gives testimony to the help he received from two outstanding psychoanalysts who worked with him to unpack and weave together the effects of childhood events and fantasies on his adult personality. A book for those at all levels of psychoanalysis, one that demonstrates the possibility of psychoanalyzing psychosis." - JANICE LIEBERMAN, PHD Akilesh Ayyar is a spiritual teacher and writer in New York.

In Anatomy of a Psychotic Experience (Ipbooks, 2022), psychoanalyst Richard Reichbart recounts a psychotic experience when he was in his thirties juxtaposing an account written a few years after the experience with reflections made decades later. This unique work captures both the subjective experience of a particular kind of psychosis, and the analytic interpretation of that experience. "He graphically portrays both the feel and the logic of a psychotic episode foreshadowed by his separation from college and from law school and ultimately precipitated by the loss of his beloved grandfather. His search for his identity led him to the Navajo reservation which was 'ideal for the nurturance of my psychosis.' He gives testimony to the help he received from two outstanding psychoanalysts who worked with him to unpack and weave together the effects of childhood events and fantasies on his adult personality. A book for those at all levels of psychoanalysis, one that demonstrates the possibility of psychoanalyzing psychosis." - JANICE LIEBERMAN, PHD Akilesh Ayyar is a spiritual teacher and writer in New York.

(March 19, 2025)Chris Merril is in for Bill while he is out on vacation. JFK files released by Trump administration. After Trump DEI order, Navajo code talkers disappear from military websites. Dr. Jim Keany, Chief Medical Officer at Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, joins The Bill Handel Show for 'Medical News'! Dr. Keany talks with Chris about measles outbreak, sleepmaxxing, sleep trackers, and how to avoid falling for medical myths.
Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider As the Trump Administration has pushed for a removal of DEI -- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion -- programs and efforts, it's led to a hasty removal of thousands of pages and references to DEI on government websites. This has included a removal of historical references such as pages celebrating the Navajo code talkers, those involved in raising the flag at Iwo Jima, and a Utahn who was the first woman to vote in the United States.
Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider SCOTUS Chief Justice responds to Trump’s calls for judicial impeachments The most senior member of the federal judiciary, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, is pushing back on President Trump’s calls for impeaching judges. President Trump said he wanted to see a judge impeached for putting a restraining order on Trump’s deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Now, the most senior member of the federal judiciary has responded. Hosts Erin Rider and Adam Gardiner discuss the growing angst between the judicial and executive branches. Pres. Trump says Biden’s preemptive pardons aren’t valid Presidential pardons are not usually overturned or declared invalid. However, President Trump is making claims that some of President Biden's final pardons while in office, which granted blanket immunity to Congressional members of the Jan. 6 committee, are not valid. The reason, says President Trump, is because those pardons were signed with something called an "autopen." Israel launches missile strikes on Gaza, breaking temporary ceasefire Just before dawn this morning, Israel launched a series of "extensive strikes" against Hamas. The missiles have killed more than 400 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Professor Austin Knuppe, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Utah State University and Professor Jeannie Johnson, Professor of Political Science and Founding Director of the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence at Utah State University join Inside Sources to give their expert analysis. Judge rules that DOGE’s dismantling of USAID likely violated the Constitution This afternoon, a federal judge ruled that DOGE's efforts to dismantle the US Agency for International Development -- or USAID -- likely violated the constitution. The judge has also blocked DOGE from any additional cuts to the agency. The Inside Sources hosts discuss this breaking news and how it relates further to the tension between the judicial and executive branches. Pres. Trump discusses Ukraine with Russian Pres. Putin During an almost three-hour conversation earlier today between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two leaders discussed what it would take to get Russia to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine. Hosts Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider discuss some of the takeaways from the call, including a pause in strikes on energy and infrastructure sites. Broader effects of federal DEI purges on government websites As the Trump Administration has pushed for a removal of DEI -- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion -- programs and efforts, it's led to a hasty removal of thousands of pages and references to DEI on government websites. This has included a removal of historical references such as pages celebrating the Navajo code talkers, those involved in raising the flag at Iwo Jima, and a Utahn who was the first woman to vote in the United States. 5 years since the Utah earthquake: Are we better prepared? The COVID pandemic had just started. Many of us had just moved to remote work, hoping a two-week break would slow the spread of the coronavirus. We were already on edge. Then, we awoke to an earthquake. For some, it truly felt like the world was ending. While there was no loss of life at the time and the damage was minimal, it got everyone thinking more about preparedness. Now, 5 years later, where do things stand? French politician requests U.S. return the Statue of Liberty monument "Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." These words, inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, have rang true in the United States since its founding. Now, some French politicians say the U.S. has chosen to ignore its principles, and they want us to return the State of Liberty as a result. (You'll recall that Lady Liberty was a gift from France in the 1800s.) Erin and Adam finish the show discussing the White House’s response to this request.
We are living through prophetic times—what some call the metacrisis, others name as a rupture, others see as an opening. What does it mean to navigate this moment with wisdom?

Send us a textHistory isn't just something we read about—it lingers. It listens. And sometimes… it reminds us it's still here. In this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we dive into listener-submitted stories that bring us face-to-face with the unexplained.From Mission San Luis de Apalachee in Florida, where voices from the past still echo in locked rooms and empty churches, to the shadowed roads of the Navajo Nation, where something unnatural watches and waits, these stories reveal the thin line between history and hauntings.We thought we were just telling stories. But halfway through a story on a Navajo reservation, Joseph's equipment completely shut down—no warning, no explanation. Maybe it was just a technical glitch.

When in their animal form, they possess that animal's physical form and abilities, and they move at incredible speeds. In addition to Navajo skinwalker legends, people have actually seen these terrifying creatures -- and they are pure evil. Join me as I take a deep dive into the nightmarish world of skinwalkers.

Nate Vomhof is a Milwaukee based drone photographer/videographer who's also a full time pharmacist. Nate first picked up a camera when he spent 6 weeks on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico as part of his rotations as a pharmacist fresh out of school. His passion for capturing architecture and nature grew and after moving to Milwaukee hit a bit of a roadblock. He started to struggle with finding ways to capture the city in unique ways when so many other incredible photographers have shot all the same landmarks. His roommate had a drone, but was attaching a GoPro to it to get a different perspective. Once drones started coming out with their own cameras Nate knew he needed his own. In 2018 he got his first drone and the rest was history. Since then Nate has become a Milwaukee celebrity with his photos/videos reaching millions of views through not just his Instagram (@natevomhof 25.6k followers) , but from all the major clients he has worked with including Top Chef, Harley Davidson, Visit Milwaukee, The Brewers, and many more.
Let's talk about Rezball! Produced by Lebron James and documents a story of the Chuska Warriors losing their star player to suicide. The team and community finds a way to rally around their culture, language, and each other to succeed. On paper this sounds fantastic, however I dive into some positives and negatives. In particular, the use of Native mascots, Navajo language spoken by non-Navajos, and I criticize the making of another sad Native story.
Compensation for college athletics is changing fast. University sports programs are having to adapt to the evolving market for athletes through what is known as name, image and likeness. The issue is being debated in state legislatures and Congress.
