A mysterious stone monument in a quiet Idaho graveyard holds a powerful secret—etched words that point to one of the most extraordinary and forgotten spiritual quests in American history. In 1832, four Native American men from the Nez Perce tribe journeyed over 2,000 miles to St. Louis in search of "the Book of Heaven." What happened next would ignite a movement and change countless lives. This is their story. Gene Bailey explores the amazing Chief Garry of the Northwestern American Revival.   #NativeAmericanRevival #HolySpiritMovement #GreatAwakening #ChristianHistory #DavidBrainerd #RevivalStories #UntoldHistory #FaithAndFire #IndigenousChurch #SpiritualAwakening #HolyGhostRevival #MissionaryHistory #FrontierFaith #AmericanRevival #NativeChristianity #CharismaticRoots #ChristianDocumentary #RevivalRadioTV #GodsPlanUnfolding

Welcome back to the Hidden Trails of Oregon! In the first episode of our new season, host Aaron Millar heads to the eastern edge of the state, far from the bustle of coastal cities and the craggy heights of the cascade mountains. We're going on location in the traditional lands of the Nez Perce to uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader, before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come true. This is a unique story of generational resilience, cultural preservation, and the ongoing work for recognition and ancestral lands.

Every month on Pathways, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton crack open a few stories, play their favorite clips, and take you on a whirlwind preview of what's coming up this month on Armchair Explorer. It's part travel hangout, part behind-the-scenes, and a whole lot of part “wait, you did what?” In this episode, we're going from the dreamtime waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the quiet strength of Chief Joseph's legacy in Oregon, from biking hidden streets in Victoria B.C. to walking with kangaroos on remote roads in South Australia. These are stories of culture, nature, and the wild places where the two intertwine.

Elise Paschen's (Osage) new book of poetry, “Blood Wolf Moon”, weaves Osage stories from the Reign of Terror with her experience as the daughter of famous major prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief. m.s. RedCherries' (Northern Cheyenne) first poetry book, “mother”, was a 2024 National Book Award for Poetry finalist. It follows the Cheyenne protagonist who is exploring Indian identity as a former boarding school student reconnecting to her roots and larger Native community through the backdrop of the American Indian Movement. “Indigenous Poetics” is a collection of essays illustrating how Native poets use their craft as a critical tool to help readers understand, question, and realize deeper layers of Indigenous life and community. Aligning with National Poetry Month, we'll dive into these new and recent publications by Indigenous poets. GUESTS Dr. Elise Paschen (Osage), poet and author of “Blood Wolf Moon” Inés Hernández-Ávila (Nez Perce and enrolled with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation), co-editor of “Indigenous Poetics” with Molly McGlennen m.s. RedCherries (Northern Cheyenne Tribe), poet and author of “mother”

Bobbie Conner is a cultural leader and enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). For nearly 30 years, she has been the director of the Tamaslikt Cultural Institute on the Umatilla Reservation in Eastern Oregon. She works to preserve the languages and rich cultural heritage of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Nez Perce and other Indigenous nations from this region of the west. She offers funders insights into funding Native American causes and projects—spoiler alert—casino income isn't making these tribes wealthy.

Brian Bull, award-winning reporter and member of the Nez Perce tribe, speaks with Mike Green about media and society from the perspective of a Native American journalist.

At the start of every month, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton preview what's coming up on Armchair Explorer, play their favorite clips, and reveal the stories they're most excited to share. A cross between a highlight reel, an interview, and two people telling travel tales down the pub, our Pathways episodes are your guide to choosing your adventures with us. MARCH EPISODES ADVENTURE: No Guidebook, No Google, No Clue: Togo, Wallis and Kyrgyzstan with Best-Selling Travel Author Brian Thacker We follow best-selling travel author Brian Thacker on a unique, mad-cap adventure to three of the remotest countries on Earth: Togo, East Africa; Wallis & Futuna, in the South Pacific; and the Central Asian mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Inspired by the intrepid spirit of explorers of old, Brian decided to tear up the guidebook, throw away the phone and turn up to a country knowing absolutely nothing about it in advance.  IMMERSION: Homecoming: Chief Joseph's Promise and the Flight of the Nez Perce We go on location to the traditional lands of the Nez Perce, in eastern Oregon, to uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader, before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come true. BUCKET LIST: Whale Watching in Victoria, B.C. We go to the southern tip of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada for a bucket list adventure spotting humpback and orca whales. Victoria is one of the best places in North America for whale watching and Nik Coutino, a local guide and expert, shares his best experiences, all set to immersive music and sound design. ADVENTURE: Becoming Forrest with Ultra Runner Rob Pope 15,600 miles, 422 days, and 2 boxes of chocolates, Rob Pope tells the story of his epic journey retracing the exact run that Forrest Gump did in the movie. It's a really fun story, Rob is a hilarious guy, but it's also incredibly inspiring. Before she passed away Rob's mum told him to do one thing in his life that truly makes a difference, and boy did he do it.  Rob is also the host of the Red Bull podcast How to be Superhuman – we shared the first episode of their 3rd series last month.

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. A settlement between the NCAA and current and former athletes could open the door to schools directly compensating athletes and revenue sharing among institutions. We'll find out how some Native athletes are navigating the new N.I.L. reality and what some of the potential benefits and pitfalls could be. GUESTS Taybor Moss (Cherokee), senior softball player for Piedmont High School Xavier Guillory (Nez Perce), recent graduate of Arizona State University where he played college football for the Sun Devils Jaelyn Bates (Navajo and Sioux), junior women's basketball player Mark Branch (Kaw Nation), head coach of the University of Wyoming wrestling team Natalia Chavez (Cochiti Pueblo), women's basketball player at Abilene Christian University

In this episode of the Teach Different Podcast, hosts Dan and Steve Fouts unpack a quote by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe: “I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.” They explore the claim of this quote, discussing the importance of vulnerability, empathy, and compassion in preventing conflict. They also examine the counterclaim, debating whether opening the mind can also play a crucial role in resolving issues. Join them to reflect on how heart and mind both contribute to understanding and peace.

After the journey, the Spauldings established their mission in Lapwai, in what is now North Idaho. Eliza was well liked and respected by the Nez Perce. Henry, however, was not well liked, even resorting to whipping those who didn't obey. The Whitmans established their mission near present day Walla Walla. Narcissa did not like the always present Cayuse in her home. The influx of immigrants brought disease that nearly wiped out the Cayuse tribe. They ambushed the Whitmans killing them and eleven others. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Both presidential campaigns are pouring resources into Arizona, a swing state where Native American votes could make a substantial difference in the outcome of the election. But it's also a state emblematic of laws — proof of citizenship, limits on ballot collecting — that voting advocates say hinders or discourages Native voter participation. As it is, a glitch in the state's citizenship verification methods puts the votes of some 218,000 registered voters of all races and political persuasions in jeopardy. Also on the campaign trail, an incumbent Idaho state lawmaker angrily told a Nez Perce challenger — the only person of color in the race — “go back where you came from.” Candidate Trish Carter-Goodheart said she was shaken and worried about her safety. We'll hear from Carter-Goodheart about the event.

A new study finds the five federally recognized tribes in Idaho contribute some $1.5 billion to the state's economy every year. Another new study finds the economic impact of Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians alone reaches $1 billion for that state's annual total bottom line. Both studies echo similar research over the years in other states that show tribes are major players in their states' economic viability. And the sources aren't just gaming — categories like construction, tourism, government operations, and education are major economic contributors.

This episode we're covering The Secret History of Twin Peaks book by Mark Frost! This is my brief recap of the book which will confirm that Twin Peaks S1 and S2 are connected to the occult. The story starts way back to Lewis and Clark who meet the Nez Perce tribe who provide the back story on the Twin Peaks jade ring and the entrance to the Black Lodge! From here we learn about the history of the US Government's control and psychological operations regarding UFOs- including secret societies like the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Mark Frost walks us through the story of Douglas Milford who connects lots of dots between the Roswell crash, Trinity atomic bomb testing, Jack Parsons opening gateways with Aleister Crowley and L Ron Hubbard, sex magick and much more! We learn about the various UFO conspiracies- Maury Island, MJ12, PROJECT SIGN, PROJECT GRUDGE and PROJECT BLUEBOOK which leads us back into Twin Peaks and Glastonbury Grove. We'll revisit the theories from the synchromystic himself- James Shelby Downard who gave us the true occult story of the JFK death ritual: the desert portals of Alamogordo-Jornada del Muerto where the alchemical destruction of primordial matter happened.

Wildfires on tribal lands have already claimed at least two lives and destroyed dozens of homes in New Mexico and Arizona. Multiple fires just forced the evacuation of hundreds of people on the Nez Perce reservation in northern Idaho. Tribal wildfire response and emergency management operations are kicking into high gear as wildfires threaten lives and property, especially in the parched West. We'll talk with tribal officials and emergency management experts about the new and increasing threats in more than a dozen states.

The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Muscogee, Choctaw, and Seminole Nations of Oklahoma have agreed to recognize each other's licenses for hunting and fishing on their respective reservation lands. Tribal leaders say the agreement both strengthens their sovereignty and creates a more sustainable fish and wildlife management system. If you know where to look, there is an abundance of edible fungi available on trees and the forest floor. It's mushroom season in the Southwest and Native foragers are collecting beefsteaks, lobsters, and chicken of the woods. And Columbia River tribes celebrate what is among their oldest food sources: lamprey. These are the topics in the latest helping of The Menu, our regular Indigenous food show hosted by Andi Murphy. GUESTS Erik Holt (Nez Perce), chairman of the Nez Perce Tribe Fish and Wildlife Commission Jaren Bates (Diné), chef and pit master Matt Gamble, senior manager of Wildlife Conservation for the Choctaw Nation

In this episode of The Connection, we delve into the rich history and cultural significance of the Nez Perce homeland through the insightful perspectives of Katie Harris Murphy, Vice Chair / VP of Board, Wallowa Band Descendant and Joshua Sigmund, Facilities and Grounds Director at the Nez Perce Valhalla Homeland. Located in Eastern Oregon, the Nez Perce Homeland holds a special place in the hearts of those who have been displaced from the region.  Katie and Joshua emphasize the mission of the homeland, which aims to deepen the connection between the Wallowa country and its people, both local and distant. They highlight the importance of providing opportunities for descendants to reconnect with their ancestral land and heritage, share about the Tamkaliks celebration, and the opportunities to engage with the Homeland as gravel cyclists. Nez Perce Homeland: https://www.wallowanezperce.org/tamkaliks ------------------------------------------------- This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling Ride Guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces.

For the first time, the federal government acknowledges the devastation to Native America tribes caused by a century of dam building on rivers in the Pacific Northwest. The report by the U.S. Department of Interior notes the benefits for the region's burgeoning population in need of cheap power, irrigation, and steady jobs. But that same push dismissed the needs of the tribes that already occupied the land, resulting in flooding homes and sacred sites, and the decimation of salmon runs, their chief reliable food source. GUESTS Erik Holt (Nez Perce), chairman of the Nez Perce Tribe Fish and Wildlife Commission Corinne Sams (Cayuse, Walla Walla, Cocopah), chair of the Columbia River Intertribal Fish Commission and member of the board of trustees and chair of the Fish and Wildlife Commission for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Keola Awong (Kanaka Maoli), program manager interpretation and education James Pepper Henry (Kaw and Muscogee), vice chairman of the Kaw Nation and director emeritus at the First Americans Museum

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 5, Episode 4 Episode Title: Raising Native American Voices Guest: Dr. Joe Gladstone   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary:  "For any Native American advocate, be who you are, find what you're passionate about, and do your best not to let people talk you out of it. Things won't change instantly, but in the grand scheme of things, good work done diligently will ultimately prevail.” — Dr. Joe Gladstone   Too often, the vibrant tapestry of Native American cultures gets flattened into a single, oversimplified narrative. But their powerful voices demand to be heard in all their diversity.    In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Joe Gladstone, whose roots span the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana and Nez Perce. As an esteemed educator, he's on a mission to bridge the worlds of modern management principles and the rich wisdom of Native and Indigenous cultures. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Management at Washington State University's Carson College of Business.    From exploring the deep symbolism of land acknowledgment ceremonies to preserving Indigenous languages, his insights will challenge you to reflect on the profound respect owed to Native communities. We also touch upon transplanar wisdom, a foundational Native American and Indigenous philosophy, and its influences on organization management and business ethics.   3 Exceptional Highlights:   Over 500 federally recognized Native American tribes in the U.S. retain sovereignty, as enshrined in the Constitution defining them as sovereign nations alongside foreign states. Land acknowledgments should be accompanied by tangible efforts to recognize, honor, and give back to the Native communities that have historically been connected to that land.  Rather than deeming any Native tradition or culture obsolete, we must examine which ones are genuinely authentic to pre-reservation times and which are more recent adaptations.   Show Highlights:    Can you share how your cultural heritage has influenced your personal and professional journey?    02:31 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   Working with tribes has given me a deep understanding of how different cultures perceive and navigate the world. This understanding has influenced my focus as an educator on respecting and helping others draw from their own experiences.   What does it mean to be enrolled into a particular tribe, and what does life look like for people on reservations?   08:39 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   Each tribe has its own rules around enrollment, which is essentially citizenship. For many tribes like the Blackfeet, you need a certain 'blood quantum' or degree of ancestry to enroll. Your enrollment is usually decided by your parents when you're young based on the tribe's rules. Reservation life ranges from isolated rural communities to urban existences, depending on the tribe's geography and enterprises.   What does The PhD Project mean to you?    14:37 - Dr. Joe Gladstone   I'm grateful to the PhD Project for connecting me to schools like New Mexico State that were interested in my background with American Indian communities.  For minorities to build strong economies, we need business skills around making, managing, and accounting for money. Having professors who look like the students and can make business real for them keeps them engaged to graduate.   One of the things that I often get asked is about the practice of Land Acknowledgments and whether or not people should do them. What is your take on it?   21:46 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Land acknowledgments have a deep spiritual tradition among Native peoples. When entering someone else's land, we acknowledge that we are guests, honor past inhabitants, respect the current stewards and their rules, and commit to protecting the land for future generations.   How can organizations show authentic respect alongside land acknowledgment ceremonies?    25:15 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Simply saying the words of a land acknowledgment is not enough. Organizations should pair the acknowledgment with concrete actions to give back to the tribal communities whose land they occupy, like building a park, rehabilitating land, holding an annual ceremony/event, etc. Another way would be to educate themselves about the specific Indigenous people who originally lived on and knew that land intimately.   We know there are difficulties in preserving Native American culture and art plays an important role in doing that. One of my favorite The Moth episodes is a story that Manuelito Wheeler shared wherein he spearheaded dubbing Star Wars in the Navajo language. What is the importance of projects preserving Native languages?   29:25 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   Language and faith are deeply intertwined—preserving language preserves how we understand and view the world through our cultural lens. Dubbing Star Wars into Navajo helps keep the language alive, which is valuable. However, I wonder if translating a deeply philosophical film like Star Wars fully conveyed the metaphysical and spiritual meanings embedded in the original English version. We must explore the question of whether dubbing English films captures the full nuanced meaning, versus creating original Navajo-language content from the start.   What advice do you give to other Natives on navigating the challenges of maintaining traditional cultural values while also living in contemporary society?   35:32 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   There is this concept of "transmotion" from Native philosopher Gerald Vizenor. It's the ability to fluidly code-switch between cultural identities, drawing from the useful values and innovations of each world to navigate life's journey seamlessly and carry out our purpose. Transmotion allows you to stay grounded in your traditions while also adapting compatible parts of the mainstream, enabling you to thrive in all spheres of your life's journey.   I'm just curious, are there any Native American cultures or traditions that you feel perhaps need to change?   40:06 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   It's hard for me to speak on every tribe's customs since there are over 500 different tribes. But I can reflect more broadly on this idea of cultural resilience and how we preserve traditions. The "traditions" practiced today descend from post-reservation elders, so we should examine their deeper ancestral roots. ​​ How do you see the future of Native American activism and advocacy evolving in the coming years? Are there any particular initiatives or projects that you want to shout out that involve uplifting Native American voices?    47:06 -  Dr. Joe Gladstone   One area I've advocated for is getting Native and Indigenous representation recognized in business academia. I founded the Native and Indigenous Peoples Caucus to give more Native voices authority by defining what Indigenous research means, guiding scholarship in this area, and providing editorial oversight. Another powerful form of activism is getting authentic Native stories and characters represented in media, like the work Lily Gladstone does in uplifting those narratives on screen as more than just background roles.

Sasquatch, also called Bigfoot, has captured the popular collective imagination around the globe for decades. But in addition to their pop icon status, Sasquatch have a deeper meaning for many Native American cultures. The name that's often used most likely comes from the Coast Salish word “Sasq'ets.” The Sts'ailes First Nation in Canada consider Sasquatch to be a caretaker of the land. A new exhibition at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Ore. showcases work by Native artists inspired by Sasquatch. We'll get a peek at the exhibition along with some context of the enduring cultural connection. GUESTS Frank Buffalo Hyde (Onondaga Nation, Beaver Clan, and Nez Perce), painter, mix media sculptor, and art writer   HollyAnna CougarTracks DeCoteau Little Bull  (Yakama, Nez Perce, Cayuse, and Cree), artist Rocky LaRock (Sts'ailes Coast Salish)

Cajun captains the Brotherhood through an examination of a poignant speech by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce.

Nez Perce tribal elder and member of Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment

Lucii Simpson is a Nez Perce tribal elder and member of Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment, a tribal grassroots organization. The name Nimiipuu means “the people” which is what the Nez Perce call themselves. The group works to save Idaho and Eastern Washington's vast waterways, including the Salmon, Snake, and Clearwater Rivers and the salmon and aquatic life that depend on them. They also work on behalf of wolves, grizzlies, and other wildlife—the plants and their ecosystems.

Despite being a slave, York enjoyed unprecedented freedom during the Lewis and Clark expedition. Unfortunately, this would not last, and once back in Missouri, York returned to a life of bondage. Unlike the other men of the Corps of Discovery, York was not paid for his services, and William Clark refused to grant him his freedom. What was York's ultimate fate? Are the rumors true of him returning west and living among the Crow? And what's it like eating almost nothing but boiled elk meat for months at a time? Also discussed are the Corps of Discovery's time at Fort Clatsop and their journey east back to the Nez Perce.  Part 1 in the Lewis & Clark series - https://www.wildwestextra.com/lewis-clark-the-corps-of-discovery-part-1/   Part 2 in the Lewis & Clark series - https://www.wildwestextra.com/lewis-clark-sacagawea-daniel-boone-part-2/ Part 3 in the Lewis & Clark series - Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose - https://www.amazon.com/Undaunted-Courage-Meriwether-Jefferson-American/dp/0684826976   Journals of Lewis & Clark - https://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/   York: Terra Incognita - https://www.lclark.edu/visit/features/york/ Casual Criminalist - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCasualCriminalist The Shortest History of the Universe by David Baker - https://www.amazon.com/Shortest-History-World/dp/1760643610?ref_=ast_author_mpb The Shortest History of Sex by David Baker - https://www.amazon.com/Book-9781913083519-author/dp/1913083519/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Texas History Lessons | One Person's Activist - https://www.texashistorylessons.com/one-persons-activist-is-another-persons-voice-part-1/ Join Into History for ad-free and bonus content! https://intohistory.supercast.com/   Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/wild-west-extravaganza   Book Recommendations! https://www.amazon.com/shop/wildwestextravaganza/list/YEHGNY7KFAU7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d

In the spring of 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition departed from the Mandan and followed the Missouri River west into Montana. They would need to cross the Rocky Mountains before the snow began to fall, and to that, they would need to find the Shoshone. Also discussed are the hunting on the upper Missouri, the portage of the Great Falls, and a fortunate encounter with the Nez Perce.

Two recent events are major wins for tribes in Washington State fighting to restore natural salmon runs. A federal judge just sided with the Puyallup Tribe in their lawsuit aiming to remove a dam on the Puyallup River because it harms endangered salmon and other fish. And a coalition of a half-dozen tribes just signed a $1 billion plan with the federal government to restore salmon populations in the Columbia River Basin.

In the first half-hour, Tiokasin speaks with Frank Buffalo Hyde (Onondaga and Nez Perce), one of the five Native artists featured in the upcoming exhibition, “Sensing Sasquatch,” which will be on view March 2, 2024 - January 12, 2025 at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. Native peoples of the Plateau have long known about, encountered, depicted and told stories about Sasquatch, and the exhibition will examine the primate-like, reclusive and elusive being in the context of the High Desert region through an Indigenous lens. Frank Buffalo Hyde grew up in New York on his mother's Onondaga reservation. He began exhibiting his artwork at 18 years old as a hobby. He began taking his artwork career more seriously when he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. His artwork has been described as “Bold, Culturally Relevant and Inspiring!” featuring vibrant colors and animal subjects, most commonly buffaloes and his tribe. Frank's way of creating his artwork is to combine numerous aspects of modern culture with the internet and technology and combine it with Native American ideas. Frank has stated that the intention of his artwork is to highlight the social and political problems today's society. In addition, issues in today's society and in the lives of Native Americans is what drives him to continue with his career. Frank's goal for his artwork is to change the way people perceive Native American artwork and abolish any stereotypes that follow Native American artwork. He hopes to teach aspiring Native American artists to make the artwork that they want to make and not worry about their artwork being "Indian enough" or "Native enough.” Frank says, “Indigenous people are now at a point where they have to be dealt with … the popular culture, and the world can no longer ignore what we know and who we are.” More about Frank can be found at https://frankbuffalohyde.com/ In the second half-hour, Tiokasin welcomes back our friend Ed Kabotie with an important update. "The continued contamination of lands occupied by the Indigenous nations of the Colorado Plateau must be recognized for what it is: a continuation of the genocidal philosophies of Manifest Destiny. Many issues that Indigenous people face remain out of sight, out of mind to the general public,” says Ed. Ed Kabotie is an artist and musician from the Hopi village of Shungopavi and the Tewa village of Khap'o Owinge. He considers himself to be an “edu-tainer,” combining visual art, music, and education for his lectures and performances about “Alter-Native History” and issues related to the Indigenous people and lands of the four corner states region. Ed is also an event organizer and, along with his band Tha ‘Yoties and the generous support of nonprofits and committed friends, has held events that feature the Native voices in his homeland. Ed's solo music incorporates acoustic guitar, Native American flute, harmonica, percussion and voice. His lyrics are sung in English, Hopi and Tewa, and are often written in a storytelling fashion. Ed describes the music as “Nu-Native,” utilizing contemporary instrumentation as a vehicle to share the virtues of his Indigenous heritage, as well as our past and present struggles with colonialism.

The Endangered Species Act, which turned 50 years old on December 28, 2023, has been described as one of the most potent environmental law statutes ever enacted. Harvard Law Professor Richard Lazarus and Andy Mergen, director of the Harvard Law Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, discuss the initial bipartisan support for the act, the Supreme Court cases that shaped its implementation, and the success of the law in protecting numerous species. They also talk about how the Endangered Species Act could be improved and the risks that it may face in the future. Quotes “… I spent 33 years litigating the Endangered Species Act. As my colleagues who are still at the Department of Justice can attest, litigation in this space is often very frustrating. There are bad cases, there are bad outcomes, but I think by any measure, we ought to understand we should step back at this 50th anniversary and say congrats to that Congress, congrats to President Nixon. This is really a powerful statute.” —Andrew Mergen [39:19] “That's the fabulous thing about this law. It's not an anthropocentric law. It's a biocentric law. It's a law which recognizes the responsibility that humankind has to all species on our planet. So it's not a law which is saying, ‘This is really important for the economy.' No, it's a law that's saying, ‘This is important for our spirit, this is important for who we are.'” —Richard Lazarus [30:12] “So you need to have ways to actually have the statute provide incentives for private landowners to actually maintain the habitat, not view the statute as a threat to economic viability.” —Richard Lazarus [43:07] “When the wolves were put back onto the landscape in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, the Nez Perce tribe played an important role in that. We now see with the California condor the Northern California tribes playing an important part in the re-establishment of those populations, and that is a plus and a really important part of the future of the act.” —Andrew Mergen [45:45] Transcript (PDF): http://eelp.law.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/CleanLaw-EP92.pdf

For a lot of people, a car is the second biggest purchase they'll make. A lot more goes into picking a car than just color and style. We'll talk with Native car sellers, mechanics, and financers about how to assess what you need in a vehicle and get tips on making decisions based on practical considerations rather than emotional ones.

In our second Backbone Scholarship episode—sponsored by Mystery Ranch and the American Wildfire Experience—we chatted with Nez Perce wildland firefighter Riston Bullock, who spoke about his experiences working in fire over the last decade, about the challenges that have come up as he has gotten older and become a father, as well as the challenges of the Nez Perce Reservation to have more authority over their own fire management. Riston also spoke about his experience of seeing a fatality on a wildfire last summer, as well as the processing he's had to do in the aftermath of this incident. As we wrap up this year of Life with Fire, we want to thank Mystery Ranch Backpacks for the ongoing support not only of this podcast, but of storytelling in the wildland fire space more generally. For one stellar example, we cannot recommend their series on Sasha Berleman ("The Fire Poppy") enough. Go check it out if you're looking for something to do in these wierd days between Christmas and New Years.   

This week on the podcast, we're continuing our conversation with local historian, David Weaver. David is the Board President of the Wallowa History Center, and his knowledge of my home, Wallowa County, is extensive. In part 2 of our conversation, we cover early species migration, hunting strategies of the Nez Perce and early settlers, buffalo trips to Montana, and what life was like in the county around the turn of the 20th century. Learn more about Wallowa County History Check out the new DECKED system and get free shipping 

History always starts with a question. For local historian David Weaver, that question takes us back to the mid to late 1800s. David is the Board President of the Wallowa History Center, and his interest lies in learning more about the relationship between the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce Tribe and the early European settlers who came to Northeast Oregon. In part one of this two-part episode, David and I sat down to discuss the lifestyles, cultures, and conflicts of the people of Wallowa County leading up to and after the Nez Perce War.Check out the new DECKED system and get free shipping 

Within the Black Lodge, there are beings known as the Dark Custodians - they are the Secret Chiefs who hold their positions near the Abyss. The Black Lodge and its opposing counterpart, the White Lodge, originated in ancient legends passed down by the Nez Perce tribes who once inhabited the Twin Peaks region. It appears that the Black Lodge is the synarchy involved with the Great Reset and they are the Protectors of the Great Secret which would elevate a Master Mason to the position of Pontifex Mundi. This dark organization is perhaps the most mysterious group in all of magick, and that's saying something since magick is replete with secret orders and secret societies. Nevertheless, they are the most heavily concealed and by their nature, most subversive. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Allen Greenfield and Olav Philips about JABOULON - CONTROL OF THE BLACK LODGE. #GroundZero #ClydeLewis #TheBlackLodge #Jaboulon https://groundzeromedia.org/11-3-23-jaboulon-control-of.../ Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis is live M-F from 7-10pm, pacific time, and streamed for free at https://groundzero.radio and talkstreamlive.com.

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians citizens overwhelmingly voted in favor of allowing recreational cannabis use on the tribe's reservation. If approved by the tribal council, the Qualla Boundary could be positioned as the only location for legal marijuana sales in the southeastern United States. Supporters say it is necessary to diversify a tribal economy heavily dependent on gaming. But they'll have to persevere against opposition including some tribal officials and at least one North Carolina congressman who proposes withholding public funds from tribes that utilize their sovereign right to sell cannabis. GUESTS Forrest Parker (member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), general manager for Qualla Enterprises, LLC   Mary Jane Oatman (Nez Perce and Delaware Tribe descendant), founder of the Indigenous Cannabis Coalition & THC Magazine and the executive director of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association  Tom Rodgers (Blackfeet), founder of Carlyle Consulting and the Global Indigenous Council, an advocacy organization focusing on Native American issues

“I don't want to have anything to do with people who make one carry water on the shoulders and haul manure. You are fools to make yourselves slaves to a piece of fat bacon, some hardtack, and a little sugar and coffee. The whites may get me at last, but I will have good times till then.” — Sitting Bull “Let me live deep while I live.” — Robert E. Howard“Were I to run away from the enemy, no one will consider me a man.” — Kit Fox warrior society song “A warrior I have been. Now it is all over. A hard time I have.” — Sitting Bull song In historical terms, it was just a blink of an eye ago. In the mid-1800s, the Great Plains in the United States were still firmly in the hands of nomadic, buffalo hunting tribes. The looming threat of American expansion was still barely noticeable. But things changed quickly, and soon the tribes were locked in an existential struggle with the U.S. for control of the heartland of North America. One man rose among these tribes to lead his people to resisting the inevitable for over two decades. By the time he was 10 years old, the boy who would become the Lakota leader Sitting Bull, had killed his first bison by running him down and putting an arrow through its heart. In the opinion of his fellow tribesmen, his ability as a hunter and as a warrior was only second to his generosity in taking care of widows and orphans. In this second episode of this series, we'll see Sitting Bull emerging as the main leader for the free Lakota, fighting in a brutal intertribal battle, challenging the expansion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, saving the Cheyenne from starvation, Sun Dancing and having premonitory visions of the Little Big Horn battle, leading his people to Canada, befriending a major for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, helping Nez Perce' refugees across the border, fighting in a duel at 49 years of age, returning to the U.S. as a POW, and much, much more.If you feel generous and enjoy History on Fire, please consider joining my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/historyonfire to access plenty of bonus content.
