There is a great word that Summer Fox Belly teaches us today: Hunka. It has to do with relationships. She teaches us that when we are hunka, we have a familial obligation to each other, whether or not we are blood family. I loved her teaching us this. As we talked, she alluded to this in multiple ways in regards to her branch, her foster family, and friends in general. It made me feel closer to her knowing that she feels like this about people, hopefully me as well. But it really made me feel the Christlike love we call "charity." I was really grateful to have a new way to look at Him, our Savior, and in those that I associate with. Let us all try to be a little more hunka with each other.

I want Abraham Thomas to be another one of my best friends. I guess I keep finding the best people and the best in people. Abraham is a singer. He does it because he loves it. But more importantly because he knows that it is a gift given to him from our Father so Abraham can help bring people back to Him. It's an amazing gift. It doesn't, however, make all the hard parts in his life go away. Abraham acknowledges depression in his life--and it has gotten really dark at times--but he fights it. He knows that the fight can be won when he asks Heavenly Father for help. He also knows that his fight has made him strong enough that he can help other people in their fights. His heart is so full of love--for you and for me. 

Crazy Horse, the legendary military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity contributed to his reputation as being “strange,” fought in many famous battles, including the Little Bighorn, and held out tirelessly against the U.S. government's efforts to confine the Lakotas to reservations. Finally, in the spring of 1877 he surrendered, only to meet a violent death.

For today's episode, I m honored to speak with long time trailblazer President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe - Kevin Killer.

Since then I ve watched his world expand and his commitment deepen as he works to bolster the gifts of his tribe while advocating for access in the halls of power of the American government. As we spend time with President Kevin Killer, we will explore topics of leadership, democracy, and hope. Kevin Killer, an enrolled member and President of the Oglala Sioux tribe, served 10 years in the South Dakota legislature, representing a district that includes the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He is a co-founder of Advance Native Political Leadership, which seeks to train the next generation of Native leaders to run, manage, and lead successful campaigns at all levels of government. He recently completed his fellowship with the Open Society Foundation Leadership in Government program working on Truth and Healing in Native communities in the United States. He attended Lakota College and was the first Tribal College Fellow of a progressive youth leadership development organization, Young People For (YP4).

Crazy Horse was a leader of the Oglala Sioux who with extreme bravery managed to win the battle of Little Bighorn to defeat General George Custer on June 25, 1876. Crazy Horse was certainly a man of service and can be recognized as an Eagle. One of Crazy Horse's key attributes was his STRENGTH which showed up in his modesty and humility. He did not take credit for his victories or boast about his success. Instead, he allowed the team around him to benefit, prefering to remain quiet and reserved. Though he was modest socially he was extremely courageous in battle and when defending his people. The Eagle Hoss & Hound podcast is a platform for respect. Respect for the Eagle - the individual with a service background (including spouses). Respect for the Hoss - the Social Integrity Hero from our American past. Plus, the Hound - the common #AmericanMutt - you and me. Follow @EagleIMBUED - J.D. Collier

You can probably guess that Brother Charles Sitting Bull is related to a famous Native American. It's true. And, actually, that relationship has helped Charles in his life's direction. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are encouraged to learn the stories of our ancestors so we can draw strength from them. Yes! Charles has drawn strength from knowing where he came from because it gives him direction to where he wants to go in the future. In this episode we talk about why we learn. We talk about the ability to relate without having to "experience" everything. And, we talk about knowing that Heavenly Father is aware.

Dr. Garcia-Janis “Help and Hope for the Suicidal” Dr. Elizabeth Garcia-Janis is a national known psychiatrist.  She is double board certified in child and adult psychiatry.  The topic we discuss is suicide.  What are the signs?  How do we help the people contemplating suicide?  What about the families left behind? As an enrolled Oglala Sioux, Lawrence Janis also shares his heartfelt poetry on the subject. There is help and there is hope.

This 1992 movie is based on real events. Director Michael Apted also releaded Incident At Oglala, which can be a companion film to this movie, as they overlap so much.  While this is a fictional tale, it is 100% inspired by true events. There are many parallels from the American Indian Movement, involvement of the Tribal Chairperson with the U.S. Government, Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOONs), etc. This movie is pretty darn accurate.  Accuracy aside, this is a tale of Ray Levoi (Kilmer) who is an FBI Agent with blood connections to the Oglala Sioux. The movie takes place on their reservation, after a murder. The movie explores the civil unrest, dynamic between the government/tribe, and dives into the connection of Ray Levoi to his Native roots. This exciting murder mystery takes an solid look at Rez life from an outsider, battling with being accepted by the community and trying to come to terms with his own identity.  Come listen as I discuss the plot, positives, negatives, and final thoughts on this great film.

Neihardt which will become the basis of Black Elk Speaks, published in 1932. 1936 - Black Elk begins managing Duhamel Indian Pageant. 1945-46 - Interviews with Joseph Epes Brown which will become basis for The Sacred Pipe, published in 1953, after Black Elk has died. 1950 - Death of Nicholas Black Elk on Aug. 17, followed by a vivid display of the northern lights. Summary: In this episode we discuss a modern candidate for sainthood, Nicholas Black Elk (ca. 1863-1950). Black Elk was a Lakota Sioux medicine man whose journey took him from traditional Lakota religion and the Ghost Dance movement to Roman Catholicism. He was probably born in 1863, at a time when his people, the Lakota, still lived independently hunting buffalo on the Northern Great Plains, in what is now the Dakotas and Montana. He relates the story of the first few decades of his life in Black Elk Speaks, a book written by and formed out of a series of conversations with a Nebraskan poet, John G. Neihardt in the early 1930s. Included in the book are his memories of Crazy Horse, the battle of Little Big Horn, meeting Queen Victoria as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, the Ghost Dance movement, and witnessing the tragic massacre of Lakota civilians at Wounded Knee. And that was only the first part of his long life. Black Elk's life was full of prayer and intense religious questioning. He experienced visions from a young age and eventually became a medicine man. After marrying a Catholic, he eventually converted and became a catechist and missionary, travelling and speaking across the country. At the same time, he passed on Lakota traditions by sharing his life experiences and knowledge with Neihardt (Black Elk Speaks) and anthropologist Joseph Epes Brown (author of The Sacred Pipe), as well as performing traditional dances for tourists. His legacy and claims about his personal religious beliefs remain controversial. Scholars continue to debate whether he continued to believe traditional Lakota religion alongside Christianity, was a sincere orthodox Catholic who rejected the traditional past, and how he reconciled different belief systems and chapters of his life. Two clarifications/corrections to the episode - We checked again on the Two Roads chart and are still unclear on the exact story of its origins, but you can learn more about it in Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala by Steltenkamp. Also, the speech by Benjamin Black Ellk and separate comments by Benjamin Black Elk's nephew concerning the practice of Christianity alongside traditional religion were connected in the retelling in our conversation, but would best be understood (and parsed out) by reading/listening to them in context in the sources below, the documentary Walking the Good Red Road and the first chapter of Black Elk Lives. Finally, a disclaimer: this episode covers some controversial episodes in American history as well as a controversial religious thinker. We hope you find this a useful addition to the conversation about Black Elk. Of course we always recommend going back to the sources - ad fontes - and forming your own judgment about this fascinating candidate for sainthood.

Sarah Long Chin - Northern Cheyenne This the second segment of the Gillespie  family history.  How my Great grandmother (Northern Cheyenne) ended up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.  That is where her family was  enrolled as Oglala Sioux.  It was common that whichever reservation they resided at, is where they were enrolled by the government.  As you can only be enrolled in one tribe. Many of my ancestors could speak Cheyenne, Lakota, and English.  We do know that she was with Crazy Horse’s band when the he came to Fort Robinson according to the book “The Surrender Ledger”. You will find out why great-grandfather George was afraid of the dark.  

Alex White Plume was born on the Pine Ridge Reservation and served as Vice-President and then President of the Oglala Sioux Nation during 2004 to 2006. He has appeared in documentaries and films about Pine Ridge and was referred to by Winona LaDuke as the hemperer for his dedication and passion to using the crop to elevate the status of the Oglala Sioux. From 2000 to 2002, White Plume earned unwanted publicity when United States federal drug agents raided his farm and tried to destroy his crop of industrial hemp before it could be harvested.

Tim and Joel discuss world  and gaming news, including the Covid response in the US and UK, the Oglala Sioux protests in the Black Hills at Mount Rushmore following the Trump rally there, reports of toxic culture  at Ubisoft, and some of the issues surrounding streaming and games culture.

In a fiery speech, President Trump railed against "angry mobs" that were trying to "tear down statues" at a rally at Mt. Rushmore on Friday. Despite warnings, there were few facemasks and little social distancing at the event, which saw protests by Native Americans on roads leading up to the site.

In times of chaos and trouble, look to the grandmothers for wisdom, compassion, and above all, patience. On June 4th, a few days after protests against police brutality roiled across the country, I sat with Loretta Afraid of Bear Cook of the Oglala Sioux Nation and her sister Jyoti Ma, convener of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. We came together in a virtual circle of sacred fire to better understand how to respond to these times of anger and confusion as we seek justice. On the podcast, Loretta and Jyoti speak of patience and right relationship with the Earth and all her creatures and peoples. We discuss our current cultural moment and what is being asked of us. Loretta shares deep wisdom about Oglala Sioux traditions, including the famous Sundance, a four day ceremony of purification and self-sacrifice. I ask how the children of colonizers can make amends, and also how to cultivate patience in the process of seeking justice without falling into passivity.  Loretta Afraid of Bear Cook is the faith keeper and holder of the Afraid of Bear/American Horse Sundance Pipe and has led Sundance with her husband Tom for the past 20 years. She is a cultural specialist on the board of The Paha Sapa Unity Alliance and The Black Hills Initiative, whose mission is to return the sacred Black Hills to the Great Sioux Nation. Jyoti is the Grandmother Vision Keeper of the Center for Sacred Studies, through which she co-founded Kayumari, a spiritual community in both America and Europe. She helped to convene the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and is the founder of The Fountain, whose mission is to restore an economic model that is based on reciprocity and collaboration.  Jyoti and Loretta both serve as delegates on the Mother Earth Delegation of United Indigenous Nations.  As you listen to this podcast, I invite you to make time for the wisdom of these grandmothers and utilize your own patience and humility for the complexity of their storytelling.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and leaders of the Cheyenne River Sioux and Oglala Sioux tribes remain in a verbal and legal standoff. The governor demands tribal leaders remove coronavirus checkpoints on roads into tribal land. Cheyenne River Chairman Harold Frazier insists the checkpoints are legal and necessary to protect citizens on the reservation. Elsewhere, tribal leaders and health officials also continue to try and find the right balance between public safety and economic survival.

The Cheyenne River and Oglala Sioux of South Dakota have set up checkpoints on highways to contract trace the spread of COVID-19. South Dakota's governor thinks that this is illegal. Today, Drew looks at the current context and compares it with past case law to catch you up on tribal sovereignty and state authority in the United States. 

Are Republicans using the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis to achieve bank deregulation, raising the potential for bank failures? The Intercept reported Friday that "experts are warning that the deregulatory blitz, sold as a fix to stimulate business by encouraging more lending, raises the potential for a flood of small bank failures, potentially lengthening economic woes and risking the need for future bank bailouts." "International diplomats were stunned and frustrated Friday night after the US again blocked a United Nations resolution to call for a global ceasefire during the coronavirus pandemic," Common Dreams reported Saturday. The insanity continues, and wait until you hear why the US is blocking this. "For six weeks the US delegation to the UN Security Council has objected to references to the WHO [World Health Organization] within the resolution, forcing French officials to lead an effort to reach a compromise," Common Dreams continued. "President Donald Trump has claimed that the WHO withheld information from world governments about the coronavirus, and that the global health agency was privy to information about the virus originating in a lab in China. The president has offered no evidence of the claims," the outlet noted."South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is threatening to take two Native American tribes to federal court if they do not comply with her order to remove coronavirus checkpoints they set up on state highways that pass through their reservations," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. "Noem, a Republican, wrote to several leaders of the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes last Friday, calling the checkpoints illegal and giving them 48 hours to be dismantled." Are these Sioux tribes standing on solid legal ground?"GOP senators worry Trump, COVID-19 could cost them their majority," reads a Monday headline in The Hill. The article says, "Senate Republicans looking at polls showing GOP incumbents losing ground are concerned that the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic has put their majority in danger."

Alex White Plume was born on the Pine Ridge Reservation. He grew up strongly connected to traditional Lakota culture. He joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Berlin until his enlistment ended in 1978. After returning to Pine Ridge, he lived in the Manderson. At that time, he joined the Tribal Police as an officer. White Plume's interest in socio-political issues developed later in life. Alex served as the former vice president and president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, located on South Dakota of the United States. He served as president from June 30, 2006 to November 2006 after Cecilia Fire Thunder was impeached. From 2000 to 2002, he earned unwanted publicity when United States federal drug agents raided his farm and destroyed his crop of industrial hemp before he could harvest it for seed as intended. They got a court order prohibiting him to grow the crop. Although the Oglala Sioux have sovereignty on their land and hemp does not have psychoactive properties, the agents operated under a 1968 federal anti-drug law prohibiting the cultivation of Cannabis-related crops. In 2019, Alex White Plume created the first Native American hemp product in the world and was the only hemp farmer in South Dakota. Alex White Plume is a legend, a myth, and a well respected elder of the Oglala Lakota. He is featured in an Amazon Prime Series, American Hemp: The Evolution Continues. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/americanhemp/support

This week on New Mexico in Focus, we celebrate Joy Harjo, a groundbreaking poet and New Mexico treasure. An enrolled member of the Muscogee Creek Nation in Oklahoma, Harjo went to school at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe and was both a student and faculty member at UNM. Earlier this year, she made history as the first Native American to be named a national poet laureate. She has written eight books of poetry, including her latest, “An American Sunrise.” Correspondent Megan Kamerick caught up with Harjo at a poetry reading in Santa Fe to talk about why she sees the poet laureate appointment as an opportunity for Native people. Teton Saltes, a junior offensive lineman on UNM’s football team, combines community service with athletic and academic achievement. A member of the Oglala Sioux tribe, Saltes works among Native communities struggling with suicide – often at a rate higher than any other racial or ethnic group. Correspondent Antonia Gonzales met up with Saltes at football practice to look at how he tackles advocacy for his community with the same determination he does athletics. “¡Las Sandinistas!” is a documentary that chronicles the brave women on the front lines of social reform during Nicaragua’s 1979 Sandinista revolution. NMPBS aired the documentary earlier this year. Correspondent Russell Contreras spoke to filmmaker Jenny Murray about the story. NMiF also reprises two favorite “Our Land” segments, as correspondent Laura Paskus takes us to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge for a look behind the scenes at how managers maintain the habitat to support sandhill cranes, geese, and other wildlife. Paskus also takes viewers along as she examines the effort to build a network of backyard wildlife sanctuaries across New Mexico’s urban landscape. The spaces can create a surprisingly serene refuge for animals and people.

Becoming a Grateful Family (0:00:00) For the parents out there, how happy do you feel when you hear your kids sincerely tell you “thank you”? We hear the word “grateful” quite a bit around the Thanksgiving season as we come together to give thanks for what we have. Gratitude naturally makes us cheerful and reflective - it's the reason why November feels so special to many. But how can we keep that spirit of gratitude in our homes at all times? We are talking about how we can cultivate feelings of gratitude within our own families with keynote speaker and former camp counselor Audrey Monke. Native American History (0:15:20) Have you ever wondered how the people lived at the time of the first Thanksgiving? We've all heard the stories of pilgrims and Native Americans, but how much do we really know? With us is Jeff Not Help Him, a speaker from the Oglala Sioux tribe of the Lakota people. He's going to teach us about what life is and was like for our Native neighbors.  Traeger Turkeys (0:35:59) Now keep in mind that I am all for stuffing and pecan pie when I say this, but do you ever find yourself yearning for something unique to eat on Thanksgiving? Something different than the same five dishes we've had every year of our lives? Me too! Lucky for us, we live in a world of innovative people who find ways to make classic meals a little more exciting. One of these people is Amanda Haas, a cook, cookbook author and recipe developer from Traeger Grills, and she's here with us to share how we can switch up our Thanksgiving meal by cooking almost all of it on the grill. Thanksgiving Story (0:50:37) Sam Payne, host of The Apple Seed, shares a special Thanksgiving Story. Being Addicted to Saying Yes (1:05:26) Stress. You feel it in your shoulders, your neck, your brain is on fire with it, and you can't run away. Every time you go to work, think about work, or even say the word “work,” the stress returns, but if you want to be successful, you have to keep taking on more, right? Wrong. Dr. Ivan Misner, a PH.D. in Organizational Behavior says, “The reality is, the more you say ‘yes' to things that don't excite you, the less you will accomplish and the more burned out and unhappy you will become.” So how can we say no while still being successful and not looking like a jerk? We've invited Dr. Misner onto the show to tell us how.  Black Friday (1:26:33) Black Friday is almost here so it's time to start circling ads and screenshotting coupons! With the majority of stores offering their biggest discounts of the year, shopping during Black Friday can be stressful and overwhelming. If you really want to get the best deals, you have to shop smarter than ever. Kristin McGrath is the editor and shopping expert for BlackFriday.com. She's with us to share all the Black Friday tips that we need to know this year!

You can not talk about Whiteclay Nebraska without also including Pine Ridge Reservation. For decades 4 liquor stores in Whiteclay, a town of maybe 12 residents, sold 3.5 million cans of beer a year. Most of the beer was sold to the Oglala Sioux who lived on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Despite the stores having been closed; the destruction wrought on the people of Pine Ridge will stick around for generations to come. Dry For A Year

A new wave of summer missionaries will soon flock to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Journalist Mary Annette Pember (Red Cliff Band of Wisconsin Ojibwe) tracked where the money raised to help Oglala Sioux tribal members goes. Her latest piece in Indian Country Today is titled, “Seasonal complaint: 'Missionaries are on our reservation.'” Also, College Horizons has some perspective about how the college bribery scandal affects Native students trying to get into college.

Few places in the United States can match South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when it comes to challenges for a father to raise his kids. Poverty, soaring unemployment, alcoholism and isolation are all omnipresent for many of the Oglala Sioux men on Pine Ridge, but George Apple refuses to give in. On this episode of Paternal, George discusses his challenges as a father and grandfather, why he embraced the traditions of his ancestors, and why the future of his family is so closely connected with the past.

Alexandra Fuller wrote a searing memoir about her childhood in Rhodesia as the country struggled to win black majority rule in what is now Zimbabwe, "Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood." While she has not written anything overtly political, she says that everything we do is political from the decision we make to wake up in the morning to the clothes we put on our bodies, to the words we have the courage to speak. Her new novel, "Quiet Until the Thaw", follows the lives of two Oglala Sioux cousins who grow up to take very different paths.

In 2000, U.S. federal drug agents raided Alex White Plume's farm & destroyed his crop of industrial hemp before he could harvest the seed; and got a court order prohibiting him from growing the crop. Disrespecting the Oglala Sioux's sovereignty, and despite hemp not having psychoactive properties, the agents cited a 1968 federal anti-drug law prohibiting cultivation of Cannabis-related crops. The 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the DEA action. White Plume & his tiospaye tried raising alfalfa, barley, corn, horses & bison, all of which yield little more than subsistence under harsh conditions. In 1998 the Oglala Sioux Tribe passed an ordinance to allow cultivation of low-THC hemp on the reservation. In April 2000 White Plume & family planted industrial hemp on their farm on Pine Ridge. White Plume thought tribal sovereignty would enable him to grow the crop but in August 2000 Federal DEA agents raided his field & destroyed his crops. In August 2002, the US DA served White Plume with 8 civil charges related to the hemp cultivation, & a court order prohibiting growing the crop. On appeal, the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the DEA, while acknowledging its registration process could be burdensome & hemp might be a good crop for Pine Ridge. Elected Vice-President for the Oglala Sioux Tribe in November 2004, White Plume served til June 29, 2006 & upon impeachment of the tribal president, White Plume acted as president until the next election in November 2006. The film, Standing Silent Nation tracks the family's effort to grow hemp, likened to a new buffalo for the Lakota: a resource whose many uses from food to fuel to fiber, could enrich their sovereign nation.

“I like to tell [students] you’ll never know what you’re capable of until you try.” “The future is whatever they want it to be. And there is nothing that should stop them from getting there.” --Mike Black Mike Black, Oglala Sioux, is the Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Mike’s story is a great example of what happens when you combine experience, skills, and mentorship. On their own, each is a valuable asset. But they may not be enough individually to propel your career to the highest level. Combined, they are powerful. Mike Black was born in Flandreau, South Dakota and grew up in Aberdeen, South Dakota. As a kid, Mike enjoyed school and sports. Math came easy to him, so it’s no surprise that he attended the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Several friends from Aberdeen also attended the school, providing a critical peer support group. After college, Mike wanted to return to Aberdeen. The BIA was hiring a mechanical engineer so it worked out well for him to take this position. But Mike’s path wasn’t a straight line to the Director’s chair. He started as a “GS-5.” The “GS” scale is how the government determines pay for employees. To provide perspective, the GS schedule goes to 15. So Mike started in the bottom third of pay. Maybe, despite the pay, Mike had some amazing work, right? Wrong. Mike spent the first several months printing blueprints. Mike learned the lesson that even though he was full of energy and had a degree, he had to learn the ropes before getting to work. But along the way, the same supervisor who put him on the printer also allowed Mike to ask questions. He was able to learn about the more substantive hands-on work. He learned not only the nuance of the trade but how to operate within BIA. He also learned humility. Mike embraced those lessons and kept them close as he rose through the BIA. To hear how he did it, listen to part 1 of Lakota Voices. In this episode we discuss: The tradeoffs for a college student to do doing manual labor jobs vs. internships during summer break. The role of mentors in professional development. Who can be a mentor (hint: EVERYONE). How being told “no one is irreplaceable” was some of the best advice he ever received. How important it is to push your comfort zone. Balancing personal life and career development. Rarely do either of these subjects care about the other when presenting opportunities or challenges. One of Mike’s critical growth moments that involved balancing a significant personal situation (divorce) and moving to another state for a promotion. Challenges and opportunities are often the same thing. This is part 1 of a series called Lakota Voices.

Crying Earth Rise Up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE1kCjcrpqg This short inter-tribal piece was created with longtime activist and Lakota elder, Debra White Plume, of www.bringbacktheway.com. The piece is used to inform tribal members and the general public about the poisoning of vast aquifers underlying several states by uranium mining. She and her husband, Alex White Plume, are working to inform the Indian and non-Indian populous about the dangers that are presently threatening their lands, lives, and families. Debra White Plume, empowering the Oglala Sioux to take a stand against further Uranium mining, narrates this project. The Lakota peoples water supplies and health have been severely affected by past mining. Over eighty wells have been capped in their already arid reservation. The incident of many diseases and birth defects linked to mining toxics has increased alarmingly in relation to past mining projects. These people wish to be heard. They want to put a moratorium on further uranium mining in their Sacred Lands, the Black Hills of South Dakota.
