Indigenous cuisine can serve as a form of resistance against colonial food systems. Cooking is not just about nutrition; it's about familial relationships and connection to the land. Restoring indigenous knowledge requires making it accessible and engaging for all. Approachability in indigenous cuisine encourages more people to try new ingredients. Experimenting with wild foods opens up a new world of culinary possibilities. Indigenous food systems are diverse and abundant, offering unique ingredients. Community engagement is essential for the revival of traditional food practices. Food was historically used by colonial governments to control indigenous peoples. The loss of food sovereignty has led to a loss of political power for indigenous communities. Food education is essential for promoting healthier eating habits. Connecting with nature through foraging can enhance well-being. Podcasts serve as a modern platform for sharing knowledge and culture.

Nelson Grant is a Sheriff's Deputy and Search and Rescue Team member in the Flathead Valley. In addition to his current duties, he has previous experience on the SWAT Team and Narcotics Task Force. Normally, Nelson and I get the chance to hunt yearly, but this year he decided to turn his foot 180 degrees in the wrong direction while recently riding his dirtbike. When not on duty Nelson enjoys partaking in just about every activity that Northwestern Montana has to offer. Bowhunting, rifle hunting, river raft guiding, dual-sport motorcycle guiding, backcountry split boarding and skiing, touring, trekking, downhill mountain bike riding, jiu-jitsu, and probably even more that I am forgetting. If there was ever a renaissance man of the Montana mountains, Nelson is it. Link to Nelson's Youtube page: / @wldwestadventure

This week, Tamara shares what it is like to visit Glacier Country, Montana on a girls' trip and Kim shares her thoughts on this scenic part of Northwestern Montana. From Missoula to Whitefish, Kalispell to Glacier National Park -- if Montana is on your bucket list, give this episode a listen! Read more: Adventurous Weekend Getaways to Western Montana- We3Travel Best Things to do in Glacier National Park - Stuffed Suitcase Things to do in Glacier Country, Montana Glacier Country is a tourism region of Northwestern Montana that covers eight counties To get to Glacier Country you can fly into Missoula or Glacier Airport in Kalispell, both of which offer many direct flights, especially from the western USA You need to rent a car to visit this region and part of the experience is the scenic drives through the countryside To visit Glacier National Park, Tamara stayed at the Homewood Suites in Kalispell, which is about 45 minutes to the western entrance of Glacier National Park To visit Glacier National Park you need a reservation to drive the Going-to-the-Sun Road from when it opens in June through mid-September. Reservations open 120 days in advance and fill up in minutes.  Things in and around the park close by mid-September to early October. Kalispell and Whitefish are both good for exploring Glacier National Park if you can't get reservations in the park. Whitefish is a ski resort town that is very cute but also pricey. The road into the Many Glacier section and Two Medicine Lake are gravel and very rough road. Kim stayed in Under Canvas at Glacier National Park in West Glacier and the Isaac Walton Inn, which is an old train depot and you can stay in a train caboose. On her trip, Tamara stayed in a few different types of accommodations including: The Lodge at Trout Creek -- B&B lodge Bridge Street Cottages in Big Fork Laughing Horse Lodge Residence Inn Missoula If you want to see wildlife, drive through the Bison Range not far from Missoula Other fun outdoor adventures are: Kootenai Suspension Bridge & Kootenai Falls Ross Creek Cedars Scenic Area Llama trekking with Swan Mountain Llama Treks Soak in the hot springs at Quinn's Hot Springs Kayaking Clearwater Trail into Seely Lake Sunset boat tour on Flathead Lake Shoulder season in September was a great time to be  If you are visiting be sure to Recreate Responsibly: Leave no trace Plan ahead and make reservations Be flexible as plans may need to change because of weather, fire, road closures, etc. Be mindful of wildlife and carry bear spray when hiking (buy it there but don't bring it on the plane)

To join the No Inside Days Challenge go to outdoorsyfamilies.com! Follow along on Instagram @outdoorsy.families   Hi and welcome to Outdoorsy Families! This is episode __.  I'm Audrey Withycombe, the host of Outdoorsy Families. Somehow it's been 2 months since our last episode, and a lot has happened since then! I'm so happy to be back in this space and to share what I've been up to for the last two months. In today's episode, I'm going to be doing a reintroduction and share my why for doing this podcast. Honestly, this is going to be helpful for me as I get back into the podcasting habit. I'll also share what you can expect from the podcast since things will be changing a bit.  I'm going to wrap up this episode by sharing my goals for 2022. I'll admit I don't typically make many goals, but this year I have some fun ones to share!    But before we begin, I wanted to encourage you to check out the website, outdoorsyfamilies.com. There I have an ever-growing list of resources to help you get outside as a family, and maybe even try a new, bigger adventure!   Reintroduction: I don't know about you, but 2021 was a year of huge change, overcoming challenges, and a lot of growth for me. It's the year that my baby became a toddler and we found our stride as a family of 4. It's also the year I took a leap and began this podcast. It's something I wanted to do for a long time but was afraid to learn something so foreign. But I finally cast those fears aside and did it! I'm really proud of that accomplishment and can't wait to see where the podcast goes in 2022.    As I mentioned, I'm Audrey Withycombe. I'm a mom of two little kids - River who's 4 and Hattie who's 2. I'm Richie's wife. He's been my adventure partner for over 11 years. We are so honored to get to live at a beautiful summer camp on the shores of Flathead Lake in Northwestern Montana. Richie and I have lived in 5 states together. River has joined us in 4 of those 5 states. We've moved around several times since we sold our home in the suburbs of Salt Lake City in 2019. Each move has felt like a step towards being where we want to be permanently. And now I think we've found our spot!    What started this sequence of moves was a big decision for our family to leave the daily grind behind and simplify our lives. We wanted to maximize our time together and maximize our time outside. With a background in working at camps, Richie decided to begin looking for a director position at a camp that provided housing. This opened the opportunity for me to stay home with River (and eventually Hattie). We felt pretty sure that we could live on one small income as long as our housing was covered! So we took a big leap and moved to a summer camp in Oklahoma. It was away from the mountains that I loved, but it was near family. I loved seeing my parents frequently and enjoyed getting into a rhythm as a “stay outside mom”. Shortly after our move, I found out I was pregnant with Hattie. A few short weeks before her birth we found out that the camp we sold our home for and left our jobs for was closing. It was a tough blow.    At 35 weeks pregnant we were able to move to another camp - this time in Minnesota. It was a hard adjustment to be in the bitterly cold weather with a newborn and no family nearby. Eventually, we found our groove and learned to love the extreme seasons that Minnesota brings. We felt so fortunate to live in such a rural space during the pandemic, with ample opportunities to explore outdoors. As we began finding our community in Minnesota we thought we'd be there for a while. We were content in our home, Richie's job, and our life. We did still miss being closer to family, skiing, whitewater rafting, and hot springs. But we figured that we would have those parts of our life again someday.    Of course, things have a way of changing, and quickly! I don't remember why or how, but I saw a job open at a camp on Flathead Lake in August of 2021. The job was a perfect fit for Richie. The Wilderness Director. In this job, he'd be training staff in all of his favorite activities- rafting, rock climbing, backpacking, kayaking, and more. He would oversee the logistics and operations for these trips, as well as work with the forest service for permitting. This is the stuff that Richie nerds out on big time. Best of all, this job was only 2 hours from family in Missoula and 3 hours from Richie's parents in Coeur d'Alene. Of course, I convinced him to at least apply. We agreed that if he didn't get it, we were happy to stay in Minnesota. But if he did get the job we would be fulfilling so many goals for where we wanted to live long term.    When we found out he got the job we couldn't believe it! But here we are, back in the northwest. We're teaching the kids to ski on a real mountain and can go soak at a hot spring after a ski day. Our kids have seen their grandparents more in the last month than in the last 2 years combined. And our little cottage has the most incredible views of gorgeous Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains. I'm captivated by the view each day!    This exciting move is what's led to no podcast episodes for the last 2 months. I'm going to be real, I was feeling VERY overwhelmed with getting ready to move again. Richie wasn't available to help me pack because of his busy work schedule and several work trips. I was feeling torn between working on Outdoorsy Families, packing, and spending time with our kids. So something had to give and that was this space. I thought I would get right back to the podcast when we moved to Montana, but I had another setback. Our internet is slow, inconsistent, and just inconducive for talking with guests. I was hoping we could figure out a better system, but that doesn't seem to be an option. So I've had to rethink how to do the podcast. I love talking with other outdoorsy families, and want to continue to do this somehow. For now, I think I've got one day a week where I can potentially do interviews if the timeframe works with guests. The other episodes will be informative solo episodes and episodes with Richie. I'd also love to experiment with you submitting recordings of you sharing a story from your outdoor adventures. What format would you like to listen to? Please send me an email at audrey@outdoorsyfamilies.com or DM me on Instagram to let me know what you would like to hear!   I'm going to be putting out an episode every other week. It's more sustainable for me than weekly episodes.    Why: So why keep the podcast if I can't record at my home? Part of me considered cutting out the podcast for now and just focusing on Instagram and the website. But the podcast is the whole reason why I started Outdoorsy Families. Sharing your stories of getting outside and helping others get outside with kids was my motivation, to begin with. So I'm sticking with it! Goals for 2022: I've got a few outdoor-focused goals for 2022. First, I would like to record and complete 1,000 Hours Outside. I'm pretty sure we made it to 1,000 hours last year, but I'm curious to see how many hours we can track! I'll be basing it off the kid's hours, not my own (I'm already ahead of them, by the way!)    I also want to complete the 52 Hike Challenge. I used to hike all the time in SLC. I'd typically hike at least once a week, usually more in the summer. Once we moved to Minnesota I just didn't hike like I used to. Once the mosquitos came out the appeal of a hike faded pretty fast!  Now that we're back in the mountains, and have a huge network of trails in our backyard, I'm ready to hit the trail again! Also, I can't wait to explore Glacier National Park's trail system!   Next, I'm going to try to spend 30 days camping. I'm hopeful that we can do it, but we'll see!  I'll admit I'm a bit worried about camping on my own with the kids in grizzly bear country. We're in the market for an older camper van and I think that will help me solo camp with the kids while Richie is working this summer.    My last goal is to try to spend time outside every day of the year! I'm calling it No Inside Days!  I'm counting it as an outside day if we're outside for at least an hour. I'm also okay splitting that hour up over the day. Some days are too cold or too wet to stay outside for a big chunk of time at once! Do you want to join me in this goal? Be sure to head over to outdoorsyfamilies.com and sign up for the challenge! I'll be providing weekly inspiration to keep you (and me) motivated! I hope you're with me!    That's it for my outdoor goals. I'm hoping we can complete them and I'm getting excited for the trips we're planning! Being back in the northwest puts us closer to some places we loved exploring pre-kids and I can't wait to share those spots with River and Hattie. I'm also looking forward to exploring the Flathead Valley and the mountains near us, including Glacier National Park!   That's all I have for you today.

Libby, Montana was a scenic mining town in Northwestern Montana. However it would never be the same after the town's largest employer, WR Grace and Company knowingly exposed their residents to asbestos. Records showed the mining company's officials knew the harm they were exposing but covered it up in the name of profit. Their greed would cost this little town at least 200 deaths. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-christopher-horn/support

The Tinkle Belle was designed by a group of professional, adventurous women from Northwestern Montana. Their mission was to create a product where any woman could #getoutandGO!  And only the perfect product would be good enough to release on the market. With the Tinkle Belle, women have the freedom to GO anywhere the men go. Let Peedom ring! Show Notes The Tinkle Belle If you have to go, you have to go. Guys just out, find a quiet spot, and pee, it's different for women. The main inspiration behind the product was just having to find somewhere to squat, to pee when you were having fun outside. Any woman can use The tinkle Belle while hiking, camping, road trips, on airlines, winter activities, boating, mobility issues, and in dirty restrooms. Take your Tinkle Belle with you everywhere to make life a little cleaner and easier when you have to go! Adyn's Introduction to the Outdoors I grew up in Montana, so the outdoors is something that's just inherently part of my life. Hiking, camping, boating, all of those sorts of things are something that we just do, maybe not on a daily basis, but on the weekends. That's something that we always try to take a part of when we can, it's right there for you. The Tinkle Belle Construction It's an injection-molded medical grade, plastic, silicone, and latex-free. It has two types of material in it, so that it's foldable, but it still has the back edge that's sturdy to use within clothing. It has anti-microbial and hydrophobic built into the plastics so that it sheds excess liquids. And then also it doesn't collapse when you put it into clothing. The Tinkle Belle Testing That process actually took just about two years. Which kind of surprised even me, because it looks like a simple thing to create, but to get those curves just right you have to get the dimensions, correct. And to get the materials chosen correctly so that they did what we wanted. It took quite a while. And at the time, just to get the engineering and communicate the engineering, not that it's just hard. There are curves involved. The engineers were men, to be honest, they couldn't relate. One of our Goals We knew we wanted a product that would help women. If there are other products that we can create that helps women, that we can add on down the line, that'd be awesome. So the Tinkle Belle has definitely become a brand and I hope that we can create other cool things that help women in the outdoors. How to Clean your Tinkle Belle If you have water, I just rinse a little bit of water through it. Or take something like a little disposable wipe and wipe it, or you can just wash it when you get home. It does have the anti-microbial built into the plastic. So it resists building, growing germs, and odor. So if you can't wash it I just fold it and then wash it when I get home. God Forgives Foundation Our foundation the God Forgives Foundation helps build and sustain orphanages and schools throughout the United States. Currently, they are in India, and we are looking to expand into other areas and help as many children as we can.

Codi Ramsey is a loud and proud scientific fence sitter, and refuses to be pigeonholed into one profession or another. Although her expertise crosses sports and exercise science, biomechanics and even clinical sports medicine and physiotherapy, she identifies only as a scientist. And this may be one reason she has been able to achieve a lot in her relatively short time since completing her PhD at the University Of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her pragmatic approach to footwear science and research may also stem from her upbringing in rural Northwestern Montana, U.S.A.Dr Ramsey has an enviable CV including a swag of publications, but her greatest passion is to explore the topic of footwear from a complex systems perspective and try to help bridge the gap between the athletes, footwear retailers, manufacturers, researchers, and governing bodies. And this, is EXACTLY what is needed in this space right now. I am sure you will enjoy this fascinating insight into how, or if athletic footwear can influence injury in runners.

Dan was born and raised in Montana, grew up on a horse ranch and learned early on the importance of taking proper care of livestock, part of that care centered around the feeding and health of the animals.Early on in 1974, Dan witnessed the inability of modern medicine to provide real lasting solutions to his grandfathers Parkinson’s Disease. This failure prompted Dan’s father Sam to pursue a much less invasive approach to personal health in the family which lead him to becoming a master herbalist and Naturopathic Doctor. Later in 1983, we watched as my other grandfather succumbed to Liver failure in a VA hospital in Oregon. These experiences shaped Dan’s father’s pursuit even further into natural, safe, effective, non-invasive ways to handle chronic illness.In 1998 the Country Doctor Nutritional Center was established in Torrington, WY. By November, 2001 Dan was asked to join Sam in this endeavor. At the time, Dan was the Assistant Director of Elk Creek Academy, an 86 acre campus tucked away in the mountains of Northwestern Montana. This academy catered to at risk teens and is where Dan began to develop his unique and captivating style for education, communication and truly changing lives with words followed by action.Today, some 17 years later, Dan’s approach to guiding people along their personal wellness path is unparalleled, educating over 6000 people per year in the family practice in Cheyenne, WY.People travel from all over the country to have the Country Doctor Experience.Dan Young’s Philosophy of WellnessHave you ever met someone that always seems to feel good, look good, have lots of energy and never gets ill? They are for the most part up beat, happy and full of life. Ever find that you ask yourself, “Why?” Why is it that this person is experiencing good health on, what seems to be, an all time basis and you are not?There are several reasons for this…genetics, diet, exercise. However there is one thing the people described have in common. They believe in and apply certain principles to their daily lives. Its called “Wellness Philosophy” and it has a major impact on how we feel and how well we avoid illness.We have all heard for decades the importance of cleansing the body, transporting the waste products and giving the body proper nutrition. We could list dozens of procedures to achieve good health under each of these areas. So, if we know all this, why are we not achieving and maintaining good health? I feel the answer lies in the following explanation.One of my earliest mentors in business and a super successful individual by the name of Jim Rohn gave me this simple formula years ago, shedding light on the difference between success and failure and I wish to pass it on to you.Success is “a few simple disciplines practiced every day.”Failure is “a few errors in judgment repeated every day.”This may sound simple, but take a close look at how knowing this can help you amend your philosophy on wellness. We don’t experience poor health overnight. It takes decades of doing the wrong things day in and day out to place us at ailments door. Because there is no catastrophe at the end of the first day, we unfortunately think that it doesn’t matter and we continue to make the same errors over and over.“An apple a day”…Lets put it another way. We have all heard the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” If that is true you might say, “Wow, that sounds like it would be easy to do, an apple a day to keep the doctor away, sure I could do that because it would be easy.”Now here is were we get tripped up. Not only is an apple a day easy to do, it is easy not to do, and because there were no major problems over the short term when I didn’t eat the apple, why should I amend my philosophy on wellness?Mr. Rohn also told me to look for the half dozen things that make the majority of the difference in our lives. Usually just a half dozen, simple disciplines practiced everyday make 80% or more of the difference in our good health.Ask yourself these 3 simple questions:What do I do on a daily basis that helps my body cleanse itself, i.e. diet, exercise, supplementation, rest, etc.?What do I do on a daily basis that will assist my body to get rid of toxins and waste products?What do I do on a daily basis that nourishes and helps the body rebuild itself?By answering these simple questions honestly and using the experience of others as a guide, you can determine what disciplines you need to amend for your good health. Remember…it is not difficult to achieve good health…however, it does take daily disciplines.

Erica Ness and her husband first bonded over their love of tiny homes. In 2012 and 2013 they built and moved into their own tiny home. In reality, tiny home living is much more complex than what we see online in the fancy photos or on the television shows. Erica brings to this podcast her practical knowledge gained from living in 280 square feet of living space with a husband and a large dog. She talks about the process of designing, building, and living in their tiny home. Erica is a self-proclaimed packrat and she and her husband are both avid outdoors people. Learn on the show how to manage a lot of gear in a small space and why Erica says to not just get rid of everything at once when you move into a tiny space, which is different from many of the shows you see on television. She talks about moving their house from Northwestern Montana to Northwestern Washington over the Cascade range. As well as moving the house in Montana and a funny story about why you should make sure your doors are always properly latched in a tiny home. On a side note, Erica is my youngest sister and joined the podcast from her neighbor's house. If you ever wanted to learn about how to live more simply take a note from my youngest sister and her husband.   Show Sponsored by:  Four Sigmatic - http://www.foursigmatic.com Use code: DIYS to save 10% on your order   Mistobox Coffee Club - http://mbox.coffee/Y9FA Use Code: Y9FA to save $10 on your subscription   Full Shownotes:  http://www.dirtinyourskirt.com   Join the Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/dirtinyourskirt/   Support the Show: www.patreon.com/dirtinyourskirt
