Kent Nerburn occupies a prominent place in the pantheon of writers who observe and document native life in a world where real people meet the challenges of real life amid the simplistic mythologizing/pathologizing characterizations of Native people to which we all a drawn from time to time. Kent does not avoid controversy in his writing process, he sees it as exploring what Jonathan Rauch calls "The Constitution of Knowledge" a healthy and robust discussion of ideas that allow us to develop revealed knowledge and truth from frank and often-ongoing dialog. Precisely what we advocate in The Radical Centrist Podcast series.This podcast celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first publishing of "Neither Wolf Nor Dog - On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder", documenting Kents travels through Indian Country with a Native American Elder he calls "Dan".This podcast is dedicated to the memory of Charles "Bud" Thompson, founder of the Canterbury Shaker Museum, in Canterbury, New Hampshire; and, at 68, Founder of the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner NH. Though Kent and I have never actually met, both of us knew Bud and count him as among our most cherished mentors.

No-one has ever attempted the pan-European distribution he doing or released the way I have in the US. That amazes me as it seems so obvious. The key thing is that, people don't want to try what has never been done.Neither Wolf Nor Dog is one of the most culturally important American films in years and stars a 95-year-old Lakota elder who takes the audience into a contemporary landscape and reveals the echoes of the massive American Genocide that they still feel today.

Alan and Bre open the show by talking about being “busy” and that “busy” is bullshit. You make time for the things you want to prioritize in your life. Our goal is to not be busy. Bre shares her recent experience in her hunter ed class. This led us down the rabbit hole of guns, gun education and children being around guns. GUNS ARE NEVER TOYS! Bre leads us through our mindfulness breath, then we begin to talk about self care. We stop taking care of ourselves when we become busy because we don't prioritize our self care. We must ask ourselves, “How are we performing?” when we are not taking care of ourselves. Taking care of yourself is simple, but not easy, it requires discipline. Self care is a non-negotiable. In order to be selfless you must be selfish. Alan shares his “Back to the Beach” Challenge and this conversation goes on for a bit as Bre and Alan hammer home the point of being consistent. Consistency isn't sexy, but having a beach body is, Alan makes the point that when you look good you feel good. Bre makes a great point that self care starts at the grocery store. You must make time for yourself to workout. Especially if you are a parent, Alan talks about his friends with two kids that still make time for workouts. All you need is 55 minutes to join in the Back to the Beach Challenge. 55 minutes in a 24 hour day, break down your day in three 8-hour increments. Then ask yourself how much time are you spending on social media and netflix. You have a favorite app, but you don't have a favorite exercise or workout? Bre argues that when you feel good you look good! What are the things that make you feel good? Do those! Eating a tub of ice cream might make you think you are going to feel good, but then you feel like shit. But really it gives you the sugar farts. We want instant gratification, but we need to realize that we need to feel good over extended periods of time. Your self care is going to create ripples which turn into waves in everything that you do. How you do anything is how you do everything. Bre shares her day of drinking with her friends and that she felt like shit the entire next day. It is important to reflect on how you feel when you take care of yourself and how you feel when you don't. Alan brings up “body positivity” to acknowledge that we must stop shaming people on both sides of the spectrum. Set a goal to be healthy and remember that body positivity shouldn't mean complacency. Stop using crutches and excuses for lack of self care. The conversation shifts a bit to Alan's thoughts on what a workout is for him and then they both talk about hour long yoga classes. Bre makes some great points that we have lost mindfulness and now we are doing these workouts or exercises to “Check the box”. Self care leads to a quality of life you can only get from taking care of yourself. Before the journal prompt they talk about the importance of accountability and we must stop taking it personal. Quit blaming outside sources, you are the only one that is responsible for yourself. Work on creating interdependence in your relationships so we can all get better together. Journal prompt: Write about your thoughts from the episode. Use your journal for self care, commit to consistency in using your journal. Write about who you need to take care of yourself for. Just. Fucking. Start. Write about the sensations you have and remember to use this as a tool of reflection.

ABOUT THE EPISODERacial reconciliation and healing was not the work that Dr. Lucretia Berry originally picked. Her younger self envisioned a future well-entrenched in the black community: her college, her career, her church, and ever her future husband and family. But that is not the path God laid out. In episode 13 of Not My Story, Lucretia talks with Sarah about her experiences growing up within black America, moving to a predominantly white area, agreeing to partner with her pastor to transition their historically black church to a multiethnic congregation, and marrying a white man. In 2015, all these experiences converged when Lucretia founded Brownicity.MEET THE GUESTDr. ​Lucretia Berry​ is the founder of ​Brownicity - Many Hues, One Humanity, an agency dedicated to advocacy, education, and support for racial healing and antiracism.

It's enormously disappointing that Neither Wolf Nor Dog is as bad as it is, because its subject - Native American life in a society built upon a land that was taken from them, and the pain, grievances and stories that the displaced people carry with them - is massively, conspicuously underrepresented in US cinema and demands to be explored. Unfortunately, although the story on which it is based is true, the hackneyed device of a white man, Kent, who learns about someone different and with whom we're supposed to emotionally identify falls on its face, and the filmmaking is awful. When the film visits Wounded Knee and we hear Dan, the Lakota elder, expose his history of pain and loss, Kent's unearned tears destroy the scene. Mike argues for the film's first act, suggesting that it sets up promising questions and themes, and has a slowness that invites the audience to contemplate these. Dan's interactions with Kent, knowingly using him to tell his stories, conflicts with his friend Grover's reaction, suspicious but willing to put his feelings aside to do what Dan wants, and his granddaughter Wenonah, hostile and concerned that her granddad might be taken advantage of. This is all inextricably tied to the history of white invaders to America and the treatment to which the natives have been subjected for generations... but the promise of how the film could develop is far preferable to how it does develop, uncritically, unimaginatively using tropes that illuminate nothing and relying on undramatised oral storytelling to express its themes. José, on the other hand, hated the film from the start and wanted to leave long before the end. He argues that there's a self-importance to the filmmaker, Steven Lewis Simpson, on display, and Mike argues (with no proof of course) that Simpson edits his own Wikipedia page. It's a shame to have to declare that Neither Wolf Nor Dog is terrible but there it is. For people on nodding terms at best with Native American history to emerge from it having learned nothing, having gleaned no insight into the life it depicts, is a fundamental failure on the film's part. A huge missed opportunity. Recorded on 14th October 2019.

Kent Nerburn, author of “Neither Wolf Nor Dog”, in conversation with Jaipur Bytes host Lakshya Datta. In this podcast-exclusive conversation, Kent and Lakshya talk about how “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” came to be, how it became a cult classic that is used as a bridge to connect non-natives to the Native-American experience, how Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin) found the book and ended up writing the foreword of the 25th anniversary edition of the book, how the book’s film adaptation came together, and what advice he has for young artists and storytellers. Kent Nerburn is an American author and artist, having published over 20 works of fiction and nonfiction. His latest book is called "Dancing With The Gods". You can learn more about Kent at www.kentnerburn.com. He will be speaking at JLF Colorado on September 21.

An interview with Steven Lewis Simpson

Adapted from the acclaimed novel NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG by Kent Nerburn the story follows a white author who gets sucked into the heart of contemporary Native American life in the sparse lands of the Dakota’s by a 95-year old Lakota elder and his side-kick. NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG takes audiences on a deeply moving road trip through contemporary Lakota life. Its humor is wry and pulls no punches, introducing deep characters and poignant vignettes that challenge the viewer to see the world differently. Neither Wolf Nor Dog was audience-financed, shot in 18-days in one of the US’s poorest region with an average crew of 2 and a 95-year-old Lakota Elder, David Bald Eagle, as the star. The Lakota actor, soldier, stuntman and musician, David Bald Eagle was left for dead during D-Day and Christopher Sweeney was awarded the Silver Star from the Gulf War. Yet it was the film’s other star, Yuchi-Muscogee Creek multi-disciplinary visual artist, poet, and actor, Richard Ray Whitman, who was never in the service, who spent the most days under fire during the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Neither Wolf Nor Dog has become one of the widest released, truly self-distributed movies in years. Simpson flipped the Hollywood model upside-down by launching in small towns and it has the longest theatrical first-run of any movie in at least a decade: 131 weeks so far. Director / Producer / Writer / Editor / Cinematographer Steven Lewis Simpson joins us for a conversation on his determination to pursue own path of independent filmmaking, distribution, marketing and bringing seldom heard stories to a broader audience.

The Search Is on for a New Director at Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture CouncilDuring outgoing director Eloise Damrosch’s 30-year tenure, the Regional Arts and Culture Council has grown from a small Multnomah County bureau to a flourishing tri-county arts council. In the first of several stories, we look at the search for her replacement to oversee the $9 million arts office. It could be one of the most important hires for decades to come.Kent Nerburn’s Classic Novel, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” Hits the Big Screen and the U.K. - 6:36A notable writer has quietly relocated to Portland from Minnesota. Kent Nerburn has written and edited more than a dozen award-winning books and has been praised as one of the few authors who can respectfully bridge the gap between Native American and non-Native cultures. His 1994 book, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” — about his travels with a Lakota elder — has become a cult classic, and now it’s been made into a movie that’s currently screening in Corvallis and opening in Portland Aug. 11 at Cinema 21, with dates still to come in Bend, Ashland, Salem, Pendleton, Klamath Falls and Sisters. (You can find confirmed theaters on the film's Facebook page.) It also recently made a splash in the U.K. due to an unlikely fan: musician Robert Plant.Suspended Moment: Two Artists Explore a Devastating Act of War - 21:25A Portland visual artist and a choreographer have come together for a performance work that bears witness to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the lingering, complex Japanese and American narratives that have evolved since. Yukiyo Kawano is a Japanese visual artist living in Portland who grew up in Hiroshima, and choreographer and dancer Meshi Chavez is from Albuquerque. They’ve performed their collaboration, "Suspended Moment," in places with strong ties to atomic history, like Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the Hanford Site, and are now bringing it to Portland on Aug. 9, the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, as part of an event organized by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility: Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki - from Despair to Hope.Portland State Chamber Choir Releases the First U.S. Album of Songs by Latvian Composer Eriks Esenwalds - 28:31The Portland State University Chamber Choir sings way above its weight class, regularly challenging professional choirs to top laurels at international competitions, and a lot of the credit goes to PSU’s dynamic choral director, Ethan Sperry. Sperry has formed creative partnerships with collaborators from around the globe, including one of Europe’s hottest young Mozarts, Eriks Esenwald.The Portland State Chamber Choir has premiered a number of Esenwald’s works over the years, and this week it is releasing the first U.S. album of his music, “The Doors of Heaven.”To Open or Not to Open? With Eclipse Tourists on the Way, Businesses in Grant County Have to Decide - 37:15Counties and towns in the path of the coming eclipse are all wrestling with two huge questions: Just how many people are going to show up for this massive celestial event, and how do we prepare for them? After all, travel officials are estimating 1 million people are headed to Oregon alone.Grant County is in the odd position of having experienced big influxes of people a couple of times, from large firefighting teams to the annual Rainbow Gathering earlier this summer. We checked in with business owners to hear what they’ve learned about staying open for the extra patrons — or not.Remembering Oregon Poet Laureate Peter Sears - 42:36Poet and teacher Peter Sears died July 20. Sears came to Oregon in 1974 and was active in the state’s literary community for more than 40 years, serving as Oregon’s seventh Poet Laureate from 2014 to 2016. One of his goals as Poet Laureate was to broaden the base of the “global linguistic community” — instead of reading by himself as he traveled the state, he sought out people creating works in their native languages to share the stage and read with him. Elizabeth Rusch’s New Piano-Themed Children’s Book: "The Music of Life" - 47:01Once upon a time, a few hundred years ago, there were two kinds of keyboards: soft ones and loud ones. If you wanted to play loudly and softly on the same instrument, you were out of luck. Then one man in 17th century Florence changed that. Portland author Elizabeth Rusch tells his story in her new children’s book, “The Music of Life.” She and pianist collaborator David Saffert joined OPB’s Dave Miller to talk about the book and to illustrate what makes a piano so special.

As Michael Sheen releases his new film, Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer, John Wilson talks to the actor about his career. He delves into how Sheen prepared for some of his most well-known roles, playing real people such as Tony Blair, David Frost and Brian Clough. Sheen considers, too, his connection to his home town, Port Talbot, and his increasing social and political activism.Ackley Bridge is set in a newly opened school which integrates the largely divided white and Asian children of a Yorkshire town. The Channel 4 drama, which focuses on both the staff and pupils, was created by the writer of East is East, Ayub Khan Din, as well as two former Shameless writers, Malcolm Campbell and Anya Reiss. Shahidha Bari reviews.Neither Wolf Nor Dog is the fictionalised account of a road trip by a white man and an old Native American through Indian country. Former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant tells John Wilson how the novel captivated him and why he wants to bring it to a British readership, and the book's author, Kent Nerburn, explains how the tribal elders of the Red Lake Ojibwe reservation came to trust him to write their story.

"Somewhere in Jefferson, something happened where the European mindset turned and started looking to the west. He started looking toward possibility in a different way." — Kent Nerburn We welcome two special guests to the Thomas Jefferson Hour this week for an out-of-character discussion about Jefferson’s policies towards Native Americans.

The film showcases a awesome list of local and weathered Native actors. We talk about some of the dynamics involved with outside producers and directors working in Native Country. He also gives us some of the stories that reflect in the movie. Also, the passing of Dave Bald Eagle, one of the main characters in the movie.
