Native Americans had many powerful women through the ages, but in many cases, we have lost their stories. One story we have not lost is that of Wilma Mankiller, who served as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1985 to 1995. No one was more surprised by that than the girl she once was. Times change and hers is a story of perseverance. It's voting time! Please let me know what you want to hear about in series 17.

Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler open fall camp week three with the release of the AP Preseason Top 25, where BYU debuts at No. 14 — the Cougars' highest preseason ranking since 1985 and just their second Top 25 preseason nod in 17 years. They run down the full poll (Ohio State, Oregon and Georgia lead the way, with Notre Dame at No. 4 ahead of its October trip to Provo), note LJ Martin cracking Pro Football Network's Top 100 NFL Draft Prospects list as he chases a repeat Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year season, and highlight an ESPN.com feature on why Kalani Sitake is "your favorite coach's favorite coach," featuring quotes from rival Big 12 coaches Brent Brennan, Rich Rodriguez and Joey McGuire.

Former BYU tight end Andrew George then joins from Colorado to preview the Cougars' new tight end tandem of Walker Lyons and Roger Saleapaga II, drawing on his own legendary pairing with Dennis Pitta — right down to the play that sprung McKay Jacobsen for the game-sealing touchdown against Oklahoma — and projects what it could mean for Bear Bachmeier's sophomore season.The back half features BYU-Pathway grad Chantell Hammond, founder of Strategy Square, sharing how finishing her degree online transformed her confidence, a Quick Quack Car Wash fundraiser spotlight, and two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris BYU Super Fans — Bret Stailey, joining from Jacksonville, Florida with his son Jack, and Janene Creer, LIVE in the Provo studio — who each share their BYU history and play a round of "Where Were You?" revisiting classic Cougar moments.

Bonus episode from the newsletter On This Day in Women's History! On August 12-13, 1967, Glacier National Park had a double tragedy: two 19-year-old girls were hiking in separate groups in separate parts of the park. Both were attacked by grizzly bears. For Julie and Michele, the results were deadly. But for other people and bears, the tragedy had more positive consequences. As a result of this night, wildlife management changed. Many familiar policies were instituted after this night to keep both humans and bears safe.

On this day, 13 August 1937, striking workers were massacred at the Union Flacq Sugar Estate in Mauritius. Primarily Indian labourers on sugar plantations on the island, then a British colony, had been organising for better pay, and police were being used to intimidate workers and break strikes.Workers on the Union Flacq estate were unhappy about low pay, poor quality food rations and inadequate hospital treatment. They went on strike, and on August 13, strikers were violently attacked by police, killing four and wounding six.In response to the killings, protesters set fire to sugarcane fields, and protests continued around the island for two weeks. Following a Commission of Enquiry into the incident, the British colonial government legalised labour unions, and set up an official framework for collective bargaining between workers and employers.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7741/mauritius-strike-massacreOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 12 August 1887, pioneering Colombian socialist and women's rights advocate María Cano, known as the "Flor del trabajo" ("Labour flower"), was born in Antioquia. At the time, women in Colombia could not hold most jobs, participate in elections, or even spend their own money.Cano was from a middle-class family, but came into contact with lots of people regularly at her local library, and began to support people living in poor neighbourhoods. At the age of 38 she became a socialist, and a leading activist in the Socialist Revolutionary Party, which made her the first woman political leader in the country. She toured widely, wrote agitational texts and gave fiery speeches to huge crowds of mining, oil and banana workers. She was placed under police surveillance, repeatedly arrested and security forces occasionally opened fire to disperse her audiences.Following a strike of banana workers in 1928 which was violently crushed that December, Cano was jailed for conspiracy, despite not having been present. She was subsequently purged from her Party as an "adventurist", but she continued her outreach work and strike solidarity until the end of her life in 1967.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8368/mar%C3%ADa-cano-bornOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 11 August 1958, civil rights activists in Wichita, Kansas won a key early successful sit-in protest against segregated lunch counters.

On this day, 10 August 2005, the Gate Gourmet dispute began in London. British Airways (BA) had outsourced its airline meal production, primarily by Asian women workers, to Gate Gourmet, who cut wages and conditions. Planning on worsening conditions further, they brought in hundreds of agency workers to do the work of the permanent employees. Seeing agency workers in their usual posts, the workers assembled in their canteen to discuss and protest at what was happening. Gate Gourmet then sacked over 700 of the workers. BA baggage handlers then walked out on a wildcat sympathy strike, shutting Heathrow airport completely for 48 hours. But their union, the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU), ordered them back to work. And although the sacked workers set up picket lines, TGWU officials reached an agreement with bosses for some of the workers to be reinstated on the inferior terms and conditions which the workers had opposed in the first place. Many of the workers fought on until April the following year, but the union refused to make their action official, and they were eventually defeated. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8178/gate-gourmet-disputeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 9 August 1979, the women workers of the YH wig making company in Seoul, South Korea, occupied the headquarters of the opposition New Democratic Party in protest at the closure of their employer. The workers had gone on strike against the proposed closure, but to no avail, so they attempted to escalate their protest. However, the US-backed military dictatorship instead sent 2,000 riot police to attack the 187 women and evict the occupation. One woman, Kim Kyung Sook, was killed by police, while the union leaders were arrested and the other workers sent home by bus. While unsuccessful, the violent repression of the workers provoked mass anger, which was a major contributing factor to uprisings breaking out in Busan and Masan later that year.Learn more about this period of Korean history in our podcast series: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/south-korea/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 8 August 1883, over 3,000 people attended a benefit ball and concert for striking telegraphers in New York's Madison Square Garden. A procession of 800 striking workers, mostly employees of Western Union fighting for equal pay for men and women and an eight-hour day, were led into the ballroom by John Mitchell and Minnie Swan, who had emerged as key organisers of the strike in the city. They were serenaded by local regimental bands who had volunteered to play. The strike was later defeated, although Mitchell and Swan became romantically involved during the dispute and were subsequently married.Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 7 August 1842, a mass meeting of 18,000 workers took place in the UK, organised by the Chartist movement. They decided to call a general strike beginning the following day, demanding universal male suffrage, and opposing pay cuts. The strikes began and spread rapidly around the country, to towns including Manchester, Burnley, Preston, Macclesfield, Oldham, Wigan, and many more.Workers set up “committees of public safety” which coordinated action and gave permission for essential services to operate, such as water pumps which were needed to prevent coalmines from flooding.By late September, up to half a million workers had taken part in the strike.Troops were sent against the workers, and opened fire in towns including Halifax, Skipton, and Preston, while large numbers of strike leaders were arrested, and the strike began to falter.The final remaining strikers returned to work by the end of September. While voting rights weren't achieved, a number of groups of workers were successful in reducing or reversing proposed pay cuts.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10685/chartist-mass-meetingOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 6 August 1970, up to 300 Yippies — countercultural radical youth — invaded Disneyland, protesting against the Vietnam war and calling for the liberation of Minnie Mouse from patriarchal captivity. Disney brought in extra security, and 150 armed riot police in preparation for the event: a theatrical "convention" called by the Youth International Party, whose members were nicknamed Yippies. The youths initiated a few provocations, including commandeering a raft to invade Fort Wilderness, openly smoking pot, snake-dancing down Main Street USA and demonstrating outside the in-park Bank of America branch before they were either arrested or expelled from the park. Learn more about the Vietnam war and opposition to it in our podcast series: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/vietnam-war/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 5 August 1981, after just two days on strike, 11,345 federal air traffic controllers were sacked by US president Ronald Reagan for refusing his order to return to work (content note: suicide). The workers in the extremely stressful industry had gone on strike demanding a pay increase and a reduction in working hours from 40 per week over five days to 32 per week over four days. Despite the threat of firing, only 1,300 workers crossed picket lines and returned to work. And Reagan, himself a former union leader, then fired all of the remaining strikers.The workers were then banned from federal service for life (lifted over a decade later), their union, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization, was legally dissolved later in October, and military air traffic controllers were used as scab replacements until new hires could be trained. Some workers and their partners died by suicide. One striker's wife was found hanged in her kitchen by a pile of unpaid bills.The dispute was a landmark event in the relationship between workers and employers in the US, similar to the great miners' strike in the UK in 1984-5 which was defeated by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government. In both countries, much of the ability of workers to organise and win improved pay and conditions was destroyed, in a legacy which remains to this day.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10495/us-air-traffic-control-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On 4 August 1941, shovel operators in the Moengo bauxite mine in the then-Dutch colony of Suriname went on strike. The walkout of mostly Javanese and Creole workers was swiftly followed by mill, shipping and tow boat crews. They were soon all offered substantial pay increases, and the strikes ended. Mill workers also had their working days reduced from 12 to eight hours per day.Powerhouse workers were then given a pay increase without a strike, and workers in the electric shop threatened to strike and were given pay increases of 30 to 40%.Workers were demanding pay increases because the cost of living had gone up with the background of World War II. And they would strike again a few months later.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7953/moengo-miners-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On Aug. 3, 1936, Jesse Owens captured the gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the Berlin Olympics.

On this day, 3 August 1945, a group in Melbourne called the Australian Soldiers' Legion (ASL) met up with a family called the Wagglens, which included a homeless, wounded World War II veteran, his wife and children, and squatted a house in Bell Street, Hawthorn. As members of the media watched on, ASL members entered the empty home and carried furniture in through the window. The group claimed to have identified 41 other empty houses, suitable for occupation, and to have settled 13 families in some of them in areas including Brighton, Newport, Camberwell and Kew. On the same day, a homeless veteran in Sydney squatted a house in the suburb of Auburn. They were emulating the actions of the Brighton Vigilantes in England, who had begun taking over empty properties. While the government officially commented that it "would not tolerate threatening act" and threatened police action, they did also announce they would introduce legislation to give local authorities power to install tenants in empty homes.On the same day in Sydney, a homeless ex-soldier squatted an empty home on Marion Street, Auburn. He told the communist newspaper the Tribune: "Forcible possession of homes will not solve the housing problem. Only new houses will do that. But what other avenue is open to a man in desperate circumstances like me?" More information, sources and maps for both of these stories in the On This Day section of our Stories app at https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/date/todayPictured: An Australian squatting family at this timeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 2 August 1917, the general strike in Rio de Janeiro ended as employers agreed to a 10% pay increase and a maximum 56-hour work week. The stoppage began with just one furniture worker the previous month, and the strike spread organically, despite the government declaring martial law and calling in police, the army and navy. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9165/rio-de-janeiro-general-strike-endsOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 1 August 1938, the Hilo massacre took place in Hawaii, when police opened fire at an unarmed group of striking dock workers, injuring 50. Longshoremen in different unions and of many different ethnicities united and staged a series of walkouts for equal pay with dock workers on the West Coast of the US. 200 workers gathered 1 August to protest against the arrival of a steamship, when police attacked and started shooting, injuring a quarter of all those present. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8051/hilo-massacreOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 31 July 1945, the newly elected Labour government sent 600 conscript troops into the Surrey docks in London to try to break a go-slow of dockworkers fighting for better pay. A Telegraph journalist described the go-slow: "In everything they did the men were unhurried in a way that looked deliberate. There was evidence that their actions were planned. True, the cranes were working and goods were passing from the dockside to the ship, but there was a leisureliness about the proceedings that made everything seem half-hearted. I soon learned the reason. At the moment bags of sugar were going aboard in slings. But it was pointed out that the slings were carrying only 4 at a time instead of the normal 12." More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10374/labour-government-sends-troops-to-break-dockers-go-slow Pictured: Troops working as scabs on the docksOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

The Slavery Abolition Act took effect across most of the British Empire on Aug. 1, 1834, but freedom was not immediate for many formerly enslaved people. A compulsory apprenticeship system remained in place until 1838, delaying full emancipation in parts of the empire.

Many women have served as the head of government for their respected countries. But usually that's because they were part of a royal family, and they inherited the office. Getting elected to the top job is an entirely different matter. The first woman to do that was Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka. She won the elections for prime minister in 1960.

On this day, 29 July 2019, the Blackjewel coal blockade began in eastern Kentucky. Mine operator Blackjewel went bankrupt, leaving hundreds of coalminers out of work and with weeks of unpaid wages. So five workers decided to block a train full of coal worth $1 million from leaving a mine, demanding what they were owed. The number of occupiers grew to dozens over the coming weeks, and lasted 59 days. Blackjewel later agreed to pay the workers over $5 million in unpaid wages.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10106/blackjewel-blockadeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On July 28, 1917, thousands of Black Americans marched silently through Harlem to protest racial terror, lynching and the East St. Louis massacre.

On this day, 28 July 1869, the first national women's labour union in US history, the Daughters of St Crispin, was founded in Lynn, Massachusetts. It was set up predominantly by shoemakers, a few years after a major strike of shoemakers in Lynn, in which women played a key part. The name was chosen to mimic the name of a men's shoemakers' union, the Knights of St Crispin. By the end of 1869 it had grown across eight states in New England, California and Illinois, and at its convention the following year it adopted the demand of equal pay for equal work with men. They organised various strikes: one in Lynn in 1872 won higher wages, while another in Stoneham the same year was defeated. The union was relatively short-lived, but some individual chapters remained strong and later joined the Knights of Labor.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10012/daughters-of-st-crispin-foundedOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On July 24, 1948, two experienced Eastern Air Lines pilots reported a terrifying encounter in the skies above Alabama. A glowing, wingless object—described as torpedo-shaped with illuminated windows and flames shooting from its rear—raced toward their passenger plane before narrowly missing it and disappearing into the clouds.The incident became one of the most significant early UFO cases investigated by the United States Air Force and reportedly helped convince some Project Sign investigators that UFOs could be interplanetary spacecraft. The Air Force later concluded that the pilots had witnessed a brilliant meteor—but the men strongly disagreed.Join Tony Sweet as he investigates the Chiles–Whitted encounter and asks: Was it a meteor, secret military technology or an intelligently controlled craft of unknown origin?Truth Be Told presents the evidence—but you decide what to believe.Stay curious and truthful.#TruthBeTold #TonySweet #UFO #UAP #UFOSighting #ChilesWhitted #UFOHistory #ProjectSign #ProjectBlueBook #AlienEncounter #UnexplainedMysteries #AviationMystery #ParanormalPodcast #OnThisDay #ClubParanormalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-with-tony-sweet-paranormal-ufos-unexplained-mysteries--3589860/support.
