Hopes to fix the Santee Sioux Nation's lack of clean drinking water faded as federal funding for a pipeline project is increasingly tangled in government turmoil. Tribal citizens are forced to drink bottled water to avoid the high levels of manganese in well water. On the Navajo Nation, dozens of people's water wells are contaminated with chemicals, like benzene, associated with the oil and gas drilling industry. There are many mysterious, uncapped wells that could be contributing to the problem. They are just two of the problems tribal citizens are having when it comes to accessing the most basic resource.

Spiritual growth takes many forms for independent musicians. Folk artist Eli Lev has woven together influences from Jewish upbringing, Buddhism, and Navajo teachings into a unique artistic journey that took him through 250 shows last year alone.   In this third appearance on the podcast, Eli opens up about the realities of intensive touring, the "entry and exit friction" that comes with constant travel, and how he maintains spiritual and personal well-being while building his Levatators community. We discuss this and his upcoming "Past Lives" EP, as well as his live video for "Where We Come From," shot in a restored 1765 log home on Maryland's Trial Run Farm.   Rather than saving the tough questions for the end, we flip the script and start with what's really slowing him down and the pain he's willing to embrace for his art. Eli shares insights on working with multiple producers, the evolution from his completed Four Directions project to this new spiritual exploration, and how his exposure to diverse faiths influences both his songwriting and his approach to building authentic community with fans.   Whether you're interested in tour sustainability, expressing personal themes in your music, or looking to build deeper connections with your audience, Eli's journey from teaching on the Navajo Nation to becoming a full-time touring artist offers practical wisdom and philosophical depth.   Key Topics: Managing the physical and emotional toll of 250+ shows annually Weaving diverse spiritual influences into cohesive songwriting Building the Levatators fan community through authentic connection Working with multiple producers across different projects The "entry and exit friction" of intensive touring Creating meaningful music videos in historic locations Support the Unstarving Musician The Unstarving Musician exists solely through the generosity of its listeners, readers, and viewers.

We have published 120 episodes since 2019. For this new season, we thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the highlights of our conversations and select 20 episodes that resonated with veterans, service members, military families, and the civilians who support them.But first up, you'll hear from some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, no matter what they do at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. For this episode, you will hear a brief conversation with Air Force Veteran and Regional Associate Director, Regional & Tribal Relations, of Home Base Arizona, Marcus Denetdale. Marcus has been instrumental in facilitating Home Base's partnership with ASU's College of Health Solutions to launch the Warrior Health & Fitness program for Arizona Veterans and their families. He has worked closely with tribal Nations and communities in various capacities.

His research areas include tribal housing, infrastructure & commercial buildings for economic growth and opportunities. His latest project is partnered with ASU to provide safe water access on the Navajo Nation.Following my conversation with Marcus, you'll hear part two of an episode from 2023 with the Pulitzer Prize and Emmy winner Cartoonist, Garry Trudeau. Ron and Garry talk about gaining the trust from military leadership during wartime, with the opportunity to visit Kuwait during the Gulf War after getting the call directly from the battlefield, and how just like visiting Walter Reed, these are chances to Get it Right in order to follow him or her from service member to veteran and from deployment to home. They discuss how he's not really that guy who could ever really tell a joke, and where his humor seems to come from, about his love for putting on a show ever since he was a little kid, and how he shares the mission to support veterans with fellow cartoonist (among other things), Jake Tapper.Run To Home Base: Join Ron and his team and sign up individually or on another team at the 16th annual Run To Home Base on July 26th, 2025, at Fenway Park!

Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the Burns Paiute Tribe. And on the Navajo Nation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the Oak Ridge fire consumed more than 11,000 acres.

Her educational background includes a strong foundation in maternal child health and health disparities. As a recipient of two Maternal Child Health Bureau (MCHB) traineeships, she completed specialized training in child health theory, growth/development and adolescent resiliency. Her PhD dissertation examined the impact of tobacco use behaviors and secondhand smoke exposure on the cardiovascular health of rural adolescents. As a postdoctoral scholar with the Bridging Research Efforts and Advocacy Toward Healthy Environments (BREATHE) research team at the University of Kentucky, College of Nursing, she assisted in participant recruitment and expanded her knowledge of intervention research and home testing. As a co-investigator, funded by a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) diversity supplement, she examined the influence of having children in the home and the completion of home testing for radon and secondhand smoke. She has experience working with under-resourced communities during her service in the United States Peace Corps, as a registered nurse working in inner city Baltimore and on the Navajo Nation.

On the surface, Diné author Daniel Vandever's picture books might appear to be straightforward stories, but the messages about the power of imagination and adventure in his books are imbued with layers of meaning. In his book Fall in Line, Holden!, a little boy breaks free from the constraints of rules and discipline by using his imagination. On a deeper level, the book speaks to the history of Indian Boarding Schools in pushing cultural assimilation. Likewise, in his wordless picture book Herizon, a girl goes on a magic scarf ride to find her lost sheep. This book is imbued with symbolism about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) epidemic, as well as cultural references to the Navajo Nation. Herizon was nominated to represent New Mexico at the 2024 National Book Festival.

Together, we dive into what it means to face the shadow self, how ancient shamanic practices can guide modern healing, and why embracing both light and darkness is essential to personal and spiritual growth. From ancestral trauma to inner transformation, this conversation is a journey through truth, balance, and empowerment. Guest Bio: Granddaughter Crow is a medicine woman, public speaker, teacher, intuitive reader, and author of Wisdom of the Natural World. Descended from a long line of spiritual leaders, she is an empath, medium, and member of the Navajo Nation. She was voted Woman of the Year in 2015 by the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW). For more, visit GranddaughterCrow.com.

On today's newscast: Forecasters say recent rain offers some temporary relief from wildfire danger, a Gila County deputy shot and killed an armed man wanted in connection with two drive-by shootings, the Trump administration has announced funding for the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation to revitalize legacy coal mining sites, and more.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns einem Thema, das in vielen Reiserouten oft nur am Rand auftaucht – dabei verdient es viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit: die indigene Bevölkerung der USA. Wir sprechen über Vielfalt statt Verallgemeinerung, über Stämme wie die Navajo, Hopi oder Pueblo und über das kulturelle Erbe, das heute noch überall spürbar ist – ob in den beeindruckenden Lehmziegelbauten von Taos Pueblo oder den Ruinen der Chaco Culture. Wusstet ihr zum Beispiel, dass die Navajo Nation größer ist als Bayern? Oder dass Taos Pueblo zu den ältesten dauerhaft bewohnten Siedlungen Nordamerikas gehört? Es geht um Geschichte, um Sprache (Stichwort Windtalker!), um Stereotype – und um das heutige Zusammenleben. Was begegnet Reisenden auf authentische Weise, was bleibt Folklore? Und wo gibt es auch heute noch Spannungen oder Missverständnisse? Eine Folge voller Aha-Momente, Fragen und Respekt – für alle, die nicht nur Landschaften entdecken, sondern auch den Geschichten dahinter zuhören wollen.

Angel Tadytin shares the epic story of her first 50-mile trail race, and how it unfolded in unexpected and magical ways. Tadytin is a wife, mother, social worker, and ultra runner, and she is from the Navajo Nation. She and her family currently live in Mesa, Arizona, but she's originally from Page, Arizona, and the surrounding area. Tadytin is also a lifelong hiker and outdoor explorer, and a longtime weightlifter. In addition, Tadytin is a community builder and currently is a board member of Native Women Run (NWR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and supporting native women in running. The event that is at the center of this story is the Antelope Canyon Ultras 50 mile trail race, which goes through the land that Tadytin grew up on. The longest race Tadytin had ever run before was 55 km (34 miles), also at Antelope Canyon. Not only had Tadytin never run 50 miles before, she'd never wanted to run 50 miles. She didn't even commit to this 50-miler until a month before the event. So, her training did not take a conventional path: most athletes would have started training for an event like this several months beforehand, and they'd have run several long runs of 20 or more miles in preparation. Tadytin's longest run leading into the event was 16 miles, which she ran once. The reasons why Tadytin decided to run this 50 mile event, and the strength, support, connection, and experience that carried her through and to the end is what this story is all about.  How to Keep Up with Angel Tadytin Instagram: @angels_ventures Mentioned in This Episode Native Women Run: @native_women_run To support WRS, please rate and review the show iTunes/Apple:⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠ Spotify:⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠ Music Credits Cormac O'Regan, of⁠ Playtoh⁠ ⁠Coma-Media⁠, via⁠ Pixabay⁠ ⁠RomanBelov⁠, via⁠ Pixabay⁠ SergePavkinMusic⁠, via⁠ Pixabay⁠ ⁠aidanpinsent⁠, via ⁠Pixabay ⁠penguinmusic⁠, via⁠ Pixabay⁠ ⁠⁠Rockot⁠, via⁠ Pixabay⁠ Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running Stories Over 50, Sub 20, 5k Project Instagram:⁠ @over50sub20_5k_project⁠ WRS Instagram:⁠ @womensrunningstories⁠ Facebook:⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠ Website:⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠ Women's Running Stories is a proud member of the Evergreen network:⁠ https://evergreenpodcasts.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke sits down with Teal Lehto, a passionate water rights activist also known on social media as Western Water Girl. Teal shares insights into her work on public lands protection, the challenges posed by current legislative threats to environment-focused organizations, and the critical issues facing the Colorado River Basin. The episode delves deep into the complexities of water politics across Southwestern U.S. deserts. Teal discusses the antiquated water usage system governed by the doctrine of prior appropriation and its impact on current water scarcities. The conversation explores the political stand-off between upper and lower basin states within the Colorado River framework, highlighting the contentious role agriculture, particularly alfalfa farming, plays in the ongoing water crisis. Reflecting on her journey from frustrated activist to social media influencer, Teal elucidates how she has become a vital communicator of water issues, navigating both support and the vitriol commonly aimed at women in digital spaces. Key Takeaways: Advocacy Amidst Executive Orders: Teal explores current executive orders threatening public lands and non-profit environmental groups, emphasizing their purpose to dismantle the protections that keep these landscapes safe. Colorado River Basin Stalemate: The historical water distribution system faces scrutiny as upper and lower basin states stall on new guidelines essential for preserving water resources. Social Media as a Platform for Change: Teal's rise as Western Water Girl began as a reaction to being sidelined; now she uses Instagram and TikTok to educate thousands on water issues. Prominent Issues in Water Management: The widespread impact of alfalfa farming on water resources underlines a significant yet under-addressed element of Western water politics. The Influence of Engaging Narratives: Authentic content creation on TikTok significantly impacts environmental communication, allowing Western Water Girl to reach and inspire a broad audience. Notable Quotes: "I never started my platform expecting it to blow up. Like, I literally told my partner that if five people see my video, it'll make me feel better." - Teal Lehto "You can actually have a pretty direct impact on what side of the Internet somebody's content goes to just by leaving a comment." - Teal Lehto "People are really into engaging with water equity because it's so mind-blowing to learn the Navajo Nation only has running water in one out of each three homes." - Teal Lehto Resources: Teal Lehto on Social Media: Follow @westernwatergirl on TikTok and Instagram for updates and education on water politics. 90 Miles from Needles Podcast Website: For more episodes and donation opportunities, visit 90MilesFromNeedles.com (https://90milesfromneedles.com).Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the News Reel, we speak with Andrew Christiansen, reporter at the Moab Times Independent, about a section of the Navajo Nation in San Juan County that recently got running water for the first time. We also discuss the Moab Museum's new co-directorship system, which was set up after the previous director was fired earlier this year. Plus, a quick update about the county's planning and zoning department, which is still struggling to fill the director position amidst a major overhaul of the land use code. - Show Notes - • A small Navajo community celebrates running water milestone after 25 years https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/a-precious-life-source-a-small-navajo-community-celebrates-running-water-milestone-after-25-years/ • Grand County hires recruiter to fill key vacancies https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/grand-county-hires-recruiter-to-fill-key-vacancies/ • Moab Museum shifts to co-leadership after director's removal https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/moab-museum-shifts-to-co-leadership-after-directors-removal/

Think of a mother living in a remote village in Alaska. It's a cold morning, temperatures well below freezing, and she needs urgent medical care for her child—but there's no road connecting her village to any hospital. Her only hope is a plane or a boat, neither of which might arrive in time. Across America, thousands of Native Americans face similar hurdles every day—lack of access to basic healthcare, clean water, and enough nutrition. This is not a challenge of the distant past; it's happening today, in the wealthiest country in the world. I first met Roselyn Tso at last year's Rosenman Symposium, where her talk left a profound impression on me. Her insights into the healthcare barriers that tribal communities face struck a deep chord, highlighting an urgent issue that many of us rarely think about. Stepping forward to tackle these issues head-on is Roselyn, a proud Navajo Nation citizen who has dedicated her life to improving healthcare for American Indians and Alaska Natives. As Director of the Indian Health Service (IHS) from 2022 to 2025, Roselyn managed healthcare delivery to approximately 2.8 million individuals, becoming the first Navajo citizen and second woman to ever hold this role. Her career spans more than four decades, each day driven by a deep personal commitment shaped by her own upbringing on the Navajo reservation. Roselyn believes real solutions require more than just medicine—they demand community engagement, cultural sensitivity, and innovation. Under her leadership, Indian Health Service championed initiatives addressing food insecurity, transportation challenges, and infrastructure gaps, fundamentally reshaping what healthcare means in tribal communities. In our conversation, Roselyn shares her powerful personal journey, the realities faced by Native communities, and her visionary approach to leadership and collaboration. She offers compelling insights into the systemic changes needed to make healthcare truly equitable and effective. Do you have thoughts on this episode or ideas for future guests?

00:00–15:00 | Ancient Civilizations and Hidden Histories The episode kicks off with intros and banter about new show time. Sam and Mike dive into ancient mysteries, starting with the Olmec civilization. They discuss theories about pre-Mayan writing, floating gardens, and the Olmec disappearance. Sam references Dr. Narco Longo's theory that Islam may have started in ancient Mexico. The conversation shifts to ancient mounds in Ohio and architectural similarities with UK structures.

They laugh about how viewers think there's a plan or agenda behind the content. They reflect on the bizarre coherence the wheel of topics seems to create every episode. Paranormal hotspots in Arizona are revisited, including Sedona and potential succubus/incubus experiences. 60:00–75:00 | Taco Bell Conspiracy (Yes, Really) They go full internet absurdity with a Taco Bell update video. New items include Flamin' Hot Cheeto burritos, a cheese shell taco for keto fans, and Taco Bell launching a "Live Más Café".

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.  Subscribe to this podcast.

At least one tribal library in New Mexico will have to close after the Trump Administration abruptly canceled federal grants administered through the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Many more libraries and museums in the state and around the country are forced to cut hours, eliminate staff, cancel traditional programs, and curb purchases for new books and other materials. They are among the latest in the on-going efforts by the Trump Administration to drastically change federal services. Those cuts also include supplements to low-income Navajo Nation citizens and hundreds more Native Americans nationwide who rely on the funds to help them heat their homes in the winter. We'll get the latest rundown of staff and funding reductions by the federal government. GUESTS Dr. April Counceller (Alutiiq tribal member of the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak), executive director of the Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository Cassandra Osterloh (Cherokee Nation), New Mexico State Library tribal libraries program coordinator Alicia Allard, tribal Head Start consultant and specialist for Little Hawk Consulting Jill Falcon Ramaker (Turtle Mountain Anishinaabe), assistant professor in Indigenous food systems and land practices and director of Buffalo Nations Food Sovereignty at Montana State University Andrea Pesina (Isleta Pueblo), executive director of Isleta Head Start & Child Care and president of the National Indian Head Start Directors Association

Elliot Ross is a photographer and writer whose work focuses on the intersection of landscape, identity, and justice in the American West. His images have appeared in Time, National Geographic, and The New York Times, and he's known for deeply researched, long-term projects that combine striking visual storytelling with a journalist's rigor. Whether he's documenting water access on the Navajo Nation or tracing the contours of Glen Canyon as it reemerges, Elliot brings a rare mix of artistry, empathy, and precision to every assignment. Born in Taiwan and raised on the eastern plains of Colorado, Elliot grew up between cultures and landscapes—an experience that shaped both his worldview and his creative path. He picked up a camera early, inspired by his grandmother's family albums, and later earned a full-ride to the Savannah College of Art and Design. After college, he cut his teeth in New York City, assisting some of the most high-profile portrait and fashion photographers in the industry. All the while, he was quietly dreaming about building a career on his own terms—one rooted in storytelling, purpose, and the landscapes he still called home. In this episode, we talk about the early experiences that shaped his artistic voice, the evolution of his career, and how he's learned to navigate the demands of both commercial and documentary work. Elliot shares the backstory of his recent Time magazine cover story on water equity in the West, a project that involved years of reporting, deep community ties, and even a return to the classroom. We also discuss his thoughts on creative endurance, working across political divides, and the role of photography in fostering empathy and connection. I'd encourage you to visit Elliot's website and dig deeper into all of his work, especially his project A Question of Balance, which became the Time magazine feature. You can find links to everything in the episode notes.
