Sarah Winnemucca was Northern Paiute and was born not long before her band had their first contact with people of European descent. That happened in the middle of the 19th century, which means she lived through a lot – this episode covers her early life.

Between the mid-19th century and the start of the twentieth century, the Northern Paiute people of the Great Basin went from a self-sufficient tribe well-adapted to living on the harsh desert homelands, to a people singled out by the Native activist Henry Roe Cloud for their dire social and economic position. The story of how this happened is told in Northern Paiutes of the Malheur: High Desert Reckoning in Oregon Country (Bison Books, 2022) by David H. Wilson, Jr. By focusing on the human stories that make up the arc of nineteenth century Paiute history, Wilson argues that many historians have gotten the Paiute story wrong, and that greater attention needs to be paid to Native sources, rather than taking the words of American generals at face value. Through characters like O.O. Howard, Sarah Winnemucca, and James Wilbur, Wilson tells the epic story of adaptability and change, even in the face of great tragedy, that sets the Paiute's apart as a singular part of American Western history.

Welcome back to the show, fellow weirdos! In this week's episode, Christian takes us through the tale of Lovelock Cave, a battle, and the destruction of a tribe of Red-Haired Giants. Lovelock Cave, nestled in Nevada, has long intrigued archaeologists and folklore enthusiasts alike. The cave bears evidence of human habitation dating back thousands of years, with artifacts and remains shedding light on ancient Native American cultures. However, it's perhaps best known for the legend of the Si-Te-Cah, or "Tule Duck" people, a tribe of red-haired giants supposedly driven into the cave by neighboring tribes. According to lore, these giants were eventually exterminated by the Paiute people through a coordinated effort that involved trapping them in the cave and setting it ablaze. While the archaeological evidence doesn't support the existence of literal giants, the legend persists as a fascinating piece of Nevada's cultural tapestry, blending history with myth. What do you think, were giants real? Was this story fabricated? Where do you stand?

Join us as we explore their story, the evidence unearthed by archaeologists, and the enduring mysteries surrounding this prehistoric cave.Episode Highlights:The Paiute Legend:The Paiutes, a Native American tribe from Nevada, passed down an oral tradition about a race of red-haired, white giants—the Si-Te-Cah.These giants were described as vicious, unfriendly, and even cannibalistic. According to legend, they wove rafts from tule plants to escape Paiute attacks across Lake Lahontan during the last ice age.The Battle at Lovelock Cave:After years of warfare, all the tribes in the region united to confront the Si-Te-Cah.The giants sought refuge in Lovelock Cave, but the Paiutes demanded they come out and fight.The coalition of tribes surrounded the cave, shooting arrows and setting a large fire at its entrance.Some giants died in a hail of arrows, while others perished from smoke inhalation or burns.Over time, the cave's entrance collapsed, sealing it off from human contact.Archaeological Discoveries:In 1911, miners stumbled upon over 60 human skeletons inside Lovelock Cave, some measuring an astounding seven to eight feet tall.Subsequent excavations in 1912 and 1924 revealed thousands of artifacts, including mammoth sandals and oversized handprints etched into the stone.The evidence linked to the Giants of Lovelock has fascinated archaeologists and sparked debates about their existence.Controversies and Modern Perspectives:Were the Lovelock giants real historical figures or mere legends?What role did Lovelock Cave play in their lives, and why did they meet their demise there?We'll explore various theories and discuss how this ancient mystery continues to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike.Join us on this extraordinary journey as we unravel the secrets of Lovelock Cave, where giants once roamed and left behind tantalizing clues to their existence.

Unrefined hosts Brandon and Lindsy are joined by guest host BT as they interview MK Davis. They explore the mysteries of the Lovelock Cave, red-haired giants, and Nephilim. MK discusses his research, including the legends of the Paiutes' battles with cannibalistic giants, the significance of Sarah Winnemucca, and the migration of the Natchez people. The conversation also covers Bigfoot sightings, the physical characteristics of giant skulls, and the cultural connections between ancient peoples. Additionally, they touch on the reluctance of the scientific community to accept the existence of giants, the discovery of Egyptian artifacts in Alabama, and the potential for undiscovered indigenous tribes in America. The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of oral traditions and the challenges of conducting non-conventional research to uncover historical mysteries.Timestamps:Discussion about deepfake technology (00:02:20) Exploring the Lovelock Cave and Red Haired Giants (00:03:16)Sarah Winnemucca and her significance (00:04:34)Discussion about the Paiutes and their history (00:05:52) IConnections to the Natchez and Mississippi (00:08:31)Encounters with Bigfoot in Mississippi (00:09:42)Comparing Skunk Apes and Bigfoot (00:11:31)The Nephilim in Lovelock Cave (00:14:33)The story of the giant buried in stones (00:18:07)Other caves with stories of giants (00:21:31)The museum basement adventure (00:23:07)Connections between Paiutes and Peruvians (00:26:55)Discovery of unusual skull in Paiute camp (00:28:02)The skull with a crest (00:29:22)Paiute skull worship (00:31:51)Influences on Native American mounds (00:34:03)Legends of camels and giant sloths (00:37:14)The Choctaw and Bigfoot (00:47:00)Ancient connections and petroglyphs (00:56:19)Mysterious artifacts in New York (00:57:38)The Natchez Indians and the Green Grass (00:57:47)Hidden Indigenous Tribes (00:58:46)Documentaries and Books on Lovelock Caves (01:00:35)Excavation Work at Lovelock Caves (01:01:19)Discovery of Giant Skull (01:05:20)Atlantis and Fertile Crescent (01:07:32)Egyptian Sites in North America (01:09:19)Origin of the Nephilim (01:10:18)Front Porch Conversation (01:14:20)
Have you heard of the ancient race of red-haired giants that dwelt in the caves of Nevada? In this episode, Amy is joined with author Floyd Wills, who wrote the book "Red-Haired Giants and Other Ancient Mysteries." He shares his vast research into the archaeological evidence found in 1911 by miners in the area of the former lakebed of Lake Lohontan. The Paiute natives spoke of a race of red-haired cannibals who attacked and ate members of the surrounding tribes. Eventually, the Paiutes destroyed them in Lovelock Cave. Floyd gives compelling evidence that the red-haired giants' Paiute tales were true and thus also validates the Biblical narrative of Genesis 6, which talks about giants before and after the flood. *Amy is a Christian counselor and coach, to make an appointment: https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointments *Floyd's book: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-red-haired-giants-of-lovelock-cave-and-other-ancient-mysteries

Guest: Floyd Wills, with a passion for the truth, Floyd has gratiously joined Jen and Joe on the 222 Paranormal Podcast to bring us the true tales of the legend ancient red-headed giants. His knowledge and insight on this topic leaves us with more questions than answers. Nevada's Paiutes spoke of a race of statuesque red-headed cannibals who attacked and ate members of the surrounding tribes. Eventually, the Paiutes destroyed them in Lovelock Cave. In 1911, miners discovered the remains of giant red-headed mummies and thousands of artifacts. The artifacts were excavated and disbursed to several museums, but the mummies disappeared from public view. What happened to the giant mummies, and why were they hidden from the public? Floyd Wills's investigation into Lovelock Cave's mystery reveals compelling evidence that the red-haired giants' Paiute tales were true. Mr. Wills supports his belief with newspaper articles, Native American accounts of giants, eyewitness testimony, photographs of skeletal remains, and artifacts found in and around Lovelock Cave. Other strange historical topics covered include: the Nazca Mummies, the Flores Hobbits of Indonesia, the Biblical Giants or The Nephilim, the Elongated Skull People of Paracas Peru, the Ica Stones, and the Acambaro Dinosaur Figurines.

The Act in Relation to Service legalized slavery in Utah in 1852. Dr. Sally Gordon tells more about how the statute affected both Black & Indian slavery in Utah. Check out our conversation…. https://youtu.be/puDhwkA7BUg Copyright © 2023 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission Black & Indian Slavery in Utah GT 1:36:37 One last comment, and then I promise I'll let you go. Sally 1:36:40 Okay. GT 1:36:40 Because I know it is getting late. We had a conversation yesterday a little bit about--I know Paul Reeve is coming out with a book on the 1852 legislature. Sally 1:36:50 Yes. GT 1:36:50 Was it Chris Rich? Sally 1:36:51 Rich. GT 1:36:52 Chris Rich had given a presentation a few years ago at Mormon History Association where he was trying to make a distinction between Indian slavery and Black slavery in Utah. Sally 1:37:04 Yes. GT 1:37:05 Can you talk a little bit about that controversy and where you stand? Sally 1:37:07 Sure. Oh, boy, you're getting me in trouble. There are many different kinds of slavery. Native slavery was widely practiced here in Utah, across the West, and had been practiced back east. I mean, really. It had been true slavery. The idea that slavery was just African, it was a much later idea. It really is true that slavery became a much more profitable enterprise than indentured servitude, for example. But the idea that it would be perpetual and inherited slavery was controversial in the colonies. So, I want us to understand that bound labor exists across a spectrum. When a native child was sold, and forcibly removed from their family, and held to labor, until age 18, or whatever it was--even when they were directed to be given shoes, and I don't know, education of some rudimentary sort. When most of them died before they reached the age of 18, that's a form of bound labor. That's not freedom. Is it the same thing as chattel slavery, protected by King George III? No. It fits much more closely into the practice of native slavery. Sally 1:38:59 There's a very well-known book called, The Other Slavery by Andres Resendez,[1] who teaches at UC Davis, I think. He argues that about 5 million natives, if I have it right, were enslaved by Europeans, during the period of colonization, which is a long period. So, saying that there's two kinds of slavery just says what we all know already. There's lots of different slaveries. Many natives were held with African slaves for long periods. So, it's not clear to me that people who bought native children didn't also have black slaves. It seems like they may well have. I was talking to a scholar of slavery and said, "Well, imagine. Just imagine that someone calls this adoption and says that this is someone brought into the family and taught a faith, and that, yes, they're required to work, but so is the whole family, and life isn't easy for them. These are people who've been made orphans and are not allowed to even speak their own language." I mean, it's a rough, rough position for a kid. But the people who are doing the adopting, say, "Well, they were going to get killed otherwise." If you study how the slave trade worked in Utah, and across the Southwest, the slave trade went up, when the Mormons arrived. When Europeans arrived, it went up. Sally 1:41:01 So, it's hard to say that this was just helping kids. Paiutes were really easy to kill. They were very peaceful people. The slave traders were vicious. It's true that some Latter-day Saints sold kids, too. So, I want to be fair. I really do. I want to say, even with African slaves, the Latter-day Saints cared about family. That's what they do. They cared about family. Yes, there's some idea of adoption here. But I promise you back east, they were doing the same thing. It's not like the Mormons made it up.

Grijalva, Sen. Sinema Proud to Join Tribes in Calling on President Biden to Designate Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument April 11, 2023 Washington, D.C. – During a virtual press conference held earlier today, House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) joined members of the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition as they launched an effort to call on President Joe Biden to use his authorities under the Antiquities Act of 1906 to designate the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument. Baaj Nwaavjo means “where tribes roam” for the Havasupai Tribe and I'tah Kukveni means “our footprints” for the Hopi Tribe. The proposed boundaries of the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument include 1,102,501 acres adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park. The National Monument designation would honor the tribes' deep cultural ties to the Grand Canyon and protect the area by permanently banning uranium mining, while also enhancing the cultural, natural, recreational, and scientific resources of the region. The area is also an important watershed for the Colorado River, which provides water to 40 million Americans. The Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition consists of leadership representatives of the Havasupai Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Kaibab Paiute Tribe, Las Vegas Band of Paiute Tribe, Moapa Band of Paiutes, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Navajo Nation, San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, Yavapai-Apache Nation, Pueblo of Zuni, and the Colorado River Indian Tribes. These tribes maintain important historical, cultural, traditional religious, and spiritual connections to the landscape.

James Keenan talks with Ryan Burns of HEROparanormal about Giants, UFOs and cannibalism. Connecting the dots of mysterious beings described as being large and strong. Some interpret them as hybrid sons of fallen angels. Paiutes spoke of a race of red-headed cannibals who attacked and ate members of the surrounding tribes. According to Northern Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah are a legendary tribe. If these Giants existed where are they now, do they still exist? Also what is the connection to Giants and the Underworld? Are UFOs part of the Mystery? Listen and find out more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-burns4/support
In this podcast episode, we discuss how life can turn on a dime—Sunday afternoon, I got a call from my sister that my elderly mom had fallen and was found after several hours on the floor. She was taken to the hospital, where they found she had suffered a broken pelvis in multiple places. I flew down to the Georgia area to be with her. The road has not been easy during this last week. As I sat for countless hours at her bedside, I realized there was a long road ahead, and all I could do was be present. This reminded me of the parallel of being by the side of my coaching clients. As a coach, we can support, give direction, and reflect on them what is going on. It is up to them to do the hard work of stepping out of their comfort zone. As we celebrate Women's History Month this week, I want to celebrate the tenacity I have witnessed my mom have amid incredible physical pain. I also want to remind you that to accomplish the difficult hard stuff; the NEXT best step is always the best option for all of us. Focusing on the long road ahead is not easy and can discourage you. Instead, focus on the small wins, the little wins that add up to the progress you desire. Today our guest is Dr. Melissa Bird. In this timely conversation, we speak about a lot of what I have been experiencing this week. I could not have timed the release any better. The range of emotions as humans. Part of our experience in the world requires loss, healing, and helping people realize that our need for perfection is our need to heal from grief and loss. When we give ourselves permission to feel the range of emotions, we can surrender to the knowledge we are not perfect, yet we are wonderfully made just as we are. The book by Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watters - Mary Magdalene Revealed. In this book, she talks about how the body is the vessel for the soul, and we are here to have a human experience. We need to disrupt the narratives that this world creates for us. We need to be willing to step out of our comfort zone and change the living dynamic. Action leads to clarity and confidence. When we tap into our intuition and take inspired, intentional action, our clarity becomes inspired and intuitive, and our confidence can become inspired and intuitive. This helps us to live in our divine purpose.Lastly, Dr. Melissa and I will participate in the International Women's Day celebration on the TalkShopLive Network.

A tribe of giant red haired cannibals terrorized the neighboring Paiute tribe until the Paiutes finally struck back. Passed down through oral history it was received as a myth and tall tale legend. Until, the bones of the Si Te Cah were discovered. But, who were they? Where did they come from and did they all really die out? Why are giants discovered all over the world with little to no notice? Why is the Smithsonian destroying these bones of giants? Were they the Nephalim? Bigfoot? Escapees from Atlantis?

Dear Abby Normals, This episode is about real giants and the abuse and death of animals in Hollywood films. First, we explore the evidence that giants once lived across the US, focusing on the red-headed, cannibalistic tribe who terrorized the ancient Paiutes. Then we discuss the shocking history of animals being abused and killed in famous films including Ben Hur and the seemingly innocent Milo and Otis. Until next time...

CORRECTED POST! Annika's back and she's going to be telling us all about Nevada's indigenous tribes. We also talk about the beauty of the bed desks and being content creators from our beds.
In the late 1800s the Paiutes of Eastern Oregon were forced to march from their reservation near Malheur Lake to the Yakima Reservation nearly 350 miles away through the deep winter snow. It was a brutal trial for a nation that had already been through so much. The events that led up to that march have long been mischaracterized in historic accounts, according to a new book by David Wilson, “Northern Paiutes of the Malheur: High Desert Reckoning in Oregon Country.” Wilson joins us to discuss the history he uncovered, along with Nancy Egan, the descendant of a chief of the Paiute tribe.
For centuries the lore and legend of giant skeletons swirled around the archeological and paranormal communities. Tales of mound builders and mound destroyers finding enormous skeletal remains hidden deep with the small to massive structures have popped up in over 1,500 newspaper articles in the late 1800's to early 1900's and even into modern times. Who were these ancient ones who roamed North America and beyond? How did they get here? Why did the Native Americans fear and revere them? Why is Ohio the center of for all of the mounds?

Workmen in the employ of the Fergusson Construction Company excavating for the new Toledo and Ottawa Beach Railroad, a little beyond the city limits of Toledo, Ohio, unearthed three skeletons, evidently relics of some great race, as they were about seven feet in length. Just where the ears should be on the head are singular bony protuberances which curl forward. The finds were made in solid yellow clay about eight feet below the surface. The cut is through a large mound, not half of which has yet been torn up. Several stone tomahawks of large size have been picked up in the locality. A mound near Toledo, Ohio held 20 skeletons, seated and facing east with jaws and teeth “twice as large as those of present-day people” and beside each was a large bowl with curiously wrought hieroglyphic figures. The Hocking sentinel. Logan, Ohio, April 28, 1898, pg 2 Toledo 3 Giant Skeletons Research done by Rephaim23 Alexandria Gazette, Alexandria D. C. October 26, 1895 Cayuga Chief, 30 April 1898, pg 1. American Antiquarian, Volume 3., 1880. ‘twice as large”. TIFFIN, Nov. 18. — While engaged in excavating a cellar on Webster Street the workmen exhumed a mammoth skeleton, indicating that the individual who formerly possessed the osseous frame- work was over seven feet in height Whether it was that of a white man or an Indian could not be definitely ascertained, as most of the bones crumbled soon after being exposed to the air, and before they could be examined by those conversant with the methods of distinguishing the skeletons of the aborigines from those of their white brothers. Certain it is that the remains had been interred so long as to spoil every chance for a sensation based upon some half traditional or wholly mythical tragedy. Springfield, O., April 7.—A giant skeleton of a man has been unearthed on the Woolverton farm, a short distance from Tippecanoe City. It measures eight feet from the top of the leg to the ankles, the feet being missing. The skull Is large enough to fit as a helmet over the average man's head. This skeleton was one of seven found buried In a circle, their feet being pointed toward the center. Crude implements were near. The skeletons are thought to be those of mound builders. Si-Te-Cah According to Northern Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah, Saiduka or Sai'i are a legendary tribe whose mummified remains were allegedly discovered under four feet of guano by guano miners in what is now known as Lovelock Cave near Lovelock, Nevada, United States. Although the cave had been mined since 1911, miners did not notify authorities until 1912. The miners destroyed many of the artifacts, but archaeologists were still able to retrieve 10,000 Northern Paiute artifacts from the cave. Items included tule duck decoys, sandals, and baskets, several dating back over 2,000 years. Oral history According to the Northern Paiutes, the Si-Te-Cah were a red-haired band of cannibals. The Si-Te-Cah and the Paiutes were at war, and after a long struggle, a coalition of tribes trapped the remaining Si-Te-Cah in Lovelock Cave. When they refused to come out, the Paiutes piled brush before the cave mouth and set it aflame. The Si-Te-Cah were annihilated. Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of Paiute Chief Winnemucca, wrote about what she described as "a small tribe of barbarians" who ate her people in her book Life Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs and Claims. She wrote that "after my people had killed them all, the people around us called us Say-do-carah. It means conqueror; it also means 'enemy.' My people say that the tribe we exterminated had reddish hair. I have some of their hair, which has been handed down from father to son. I have a dress that has been in our family for a great many years, trimmed with reddish hair. I am going to wear it sometime when I lecture. It is called a mourning dress, and no one has such a dress but my family." Winnemucca does not mention giants.

Today we will be talking about the red headed giants of the Lovelock Caves in the state of Nevada. For more than a century, a story has persisted about the skeletons of red-headed giants being found in the Lovelock Cave in northern Nevada. Famed Nevadan Piute Sarah Winnemucca first wrote an acclaimed book back in the late 1800's. In this book she writes that the Paiutes waged a three-year war against a tribe of red-headed cannibals. The Piute Native Americans are said to have trapped, then killing, the last of these red-haired giants inside lovelock cave. To help us understand the legend of these caves more, we will be talking with the YouTuber Burning Sands Exploration. She is a Nevada local and knows a lot about these caves. Our guest Burning Sands Exploration has a wonderful YouTube channel that mostly explores the Northern Nevada area. She explores everything from ghost towns, museums, abandoned places, and more. She has visited the Lovelock caves numerous times. And doesn't live too far from them. She actual has a wonderful video up where she explores the Lovelock Caves. BOOK DISCUSSED IN EPISODE

Last week, a North Carolina task force commissioned by Governor Roy Cooper recommended small amounts of marijuana be decriminalized. It also says legalization should be studied. On the Qualla Boundary, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is already moving forward to legalize medical marijuana. At the end of last month, the tribal council moved forward with its own plan to bring medical marijuana to Western North Carolina. Secretary of Agriculture, Joey Owle has been working at legalize marijuana since 2015. "I mean, we've come a long way since 2015 when it was just a small advocacy group," said Owle. Since then, the attitudes toward marijuana have really changed, says Owle. Six mores states legalized some form of marijuana on Election Day this month. North Carolina seems slow to join that movement but this doesn't matter for the Eastern Band. As a sovereign nation, they have their own laws. Owle says that talking with a member of the Paiutes in Nevada who have a recreational marijuana

The Paiutes, a Native-American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, have an oral tradition that they told to early white settlers of the area about a race of red-haired, white giants or ‘barbarians’ that their ancestors referred to as the “Si-Te-Cah.”
1857 in Utah, a wagon train was wiped out by the Paiutes. Just kidding it was Mormons dressed in Indian drag. Apologize Church of Later Days Saints! And apologize for the Osmond's too! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/htwwf/support

With the end of the Civil War, George Crook’s decision to continue serving in the United States Army meant reverting to a lower rank and assuming a command in the Pacific Northwest. Yet, as Paul Magid details in the second volume of his biography of Crook, The Gray Fox: George Crook and the Indian Wars (University of Oklahoma Press, 2015), he would soon emerge as one of the most prominent figures in the army’s ongoing operations against Native Americans in the territories. In describing Crook’s campaign against the Paiutes in the Great Basin, Magid details the relentless attritional warfare that was a hallmark of his strategy against the tribes he fought. Results in the Northwest led to his transfer to Arizona, where his success against the Apache and Yavapai earned him a promotion to the rank of brigadier general. With his selection as the head of the Department of the Platte in 1875, Crook found himself coping with the deteriorating situation in the Dakota Territory created by the surge of prospectors and settlers, and with the outbreak of the war against the Sioux, the general took to the field in a series of grueling campaigns. Though suffering a setback at the battle of Rosebud, Crook’s subsequent victory at Slim Buttes led to the subjugation of the Sioux and the surrender of Crazy Horse, which cemented Crook’s reputation as the army’s leading expert in Indian warfare.

Host Lisa Kiefer speaks with innovative business development leader, Tony Skrelunas about new community-based initiatives and social ventures that create paths to entrepreneurship for Native Americans while respecting culture, tradition and environment.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Method to the madness is next. You're listening to method to the madness of public affairs show on k a l x Berkeley celebrating innovation. I'm your host, Lisa Kiefer. And today I'm speaking with Tony Skrelunas, the foremost expert on community-based development and it's one of the most respected native American leaders in the U s welcome to the program, Tony. Hello. So that's Navajo, [00:00:30] right? You work a lot in economic development with tribes. What do you see as the major, your Speaker 2:problem or problems today? Well, background, um, I come from Navajo land in, in our way. It's appropriate to introduce ourselves and our traditional way. I am a Twitter genie, which is bitter water clan and born for the Lithuanian peoples. I'm here. Yeah. Lithuanian. The idea. Yes. Yesterday it happens. Yeah. I was raised by my great grandparents, um, in the a real traditional [00:01:00] way. The place is called big mountain. It is considered a very traditional place. Um, and we've suffered a lot. This is the place where we've had a, a long standing land dispute. It's a place where mining has happened. We've had a lot of impacts of coal mining, oil and gas. So that's still a lot of extractive. And, and I saw how it impacted our people. And so that's why I got so interested in economic development. And then, um, by way of my career, I was, um, for a time a head [00:01:30] of commerce for our Navajo nation. Speaker 2:Well, that area, now when nation is the size of West Virginia, it's 25,000 square miles. Uh, we have 110 communities. We're a sovereign nation. We, um, covered a four corners, uh, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico. We're also the largest private land owner in the southwest. We have a real progressive, um, land acquisition program. There's a lot of, um, attention to Navajo because we're the largest, but [00:02:00] we also have a language still. We still have our ways. You know, we're, we domesticated, uh, sheep just as an example, is the first domesticated animal in, in the United States. And Dino, the story goes to the Spaniards brought some across over 500 years ago. And then we domesticated it. And, and uh, so there, there's a, a sheep called the Navajo. True. It's the first domesticated animal in the country. But, uh, we, we have a long tradition of, um, sheep herding and of, of really ecological [00:02:30] traditional knowledge passage on from elders to youth. Speaker 2:And that's really ensured our survival. We've been here for time and memorial research shows maybe 30,000 years though. So we've lived sustainably. We, uh, we migrated around, we moved around. We have a lot of different clans, like over 80 plans in terms of, um, challenges of economy. We're, we're a very young economy. Government was set up in 1923 as a formal structure. The federal government needed somebody to leases [00:03:00] and exploration of oil, gas, and coal. So in early 1923, they, they created what's called business council. A lot of the policies for really up to the 1960s was about culturating the native American take the savage out of the native, you know, it's a boarding school systems. The, um, the treaties, the way they were written, not only was policy like that, but when the government helped us, you know, they in essence handpicked her early leaders and of course the early leaders, they believed in that acculturation. Speaker 2:[00:03:30] Uh, a lot of them say, you know, didn't believe that we should have anything cultural. We shouldn't have our, our languages that are only way to, to success is to westernize our whole systems. You know, creating business include business opportunity. And that really was the case up till really recently, the reservation system was set up. They moved the tribes. You know, we, we march 500 miles, thousands of our people and a lot of them died in the 1850s when, when they moved our people to Fort Sumner, New Mexico [00:04:00] in the winter, thousands of our people died on that March. They rounded up, they burnt down our, um, corn fields, our homes, they killed our sheep. You know, again, we, we've been hurting 500 years. We're really the, the sheep hurting tribe of the world. That's something that we've always wrestled with is when government helped us build an economy, it was very resource, extractive oriented and it was very westernized. Speaker 2:It's what they really tried to bring into to our nation that really always clashed with our [00:04:30] communities. To this day, our government still is centralize, but newer generation, we've worked to change that structure to allow communities because communities is where it's at. Again, we have 110, we call them chapters. Yeah. We call them chapters and then taught nods and that is what we call them taught. Doesn't that in those communities we all have, the language that's primarily spoken in, in any meeting on government is still our Navajo language. You know, there's always been a clash between Westernized, top-down [00:05:00] economic pursuit versus community based. I'm a culturally appropriate, environmentally sensitive, uh, approaches. Only until recently, has there been a breakthroughs and crafting tools that allow for communities to innovate? We're fighting to system of ingrained. Um, it's really entrenched. Um, um, system of top-down development approaches. Yeah. Speaker 2:So meaning capitalistic. And for a long [00:05:30] time, many of the young Navajos that were getting MBAs, they really were trained in that way. They really got rid of their culture, but now more and more of us, and you can see that on our website, you can see that and the rhetoric of our nation now is that a lot of us still speak our language or some of us are very fluent still, but we see a different way. We see that we have to, we almost have to embrace who we are and build an economy around that. We have to create financing tools, business development [00:06:00] tools. We have our wait community planning tools that really engage all facets of the community. We're changing things. When did you decide what had to be done and how you were going to do that when you live a traditional way? Speaker 2:We didn't have one home. Navajo has always moved. You know when we lived traditional it means we grew up in the thing called a Hogan. Just as an example. It's a very ancient, it's like a temple of learning and sharing. A lot of times our parents had to work far away. So we were raised [00:06:30] by grandparents were raised hurting sheep. We monitored the land, we monitored the grasses, we monitored the sheet behavior and, and where the water's available. The same with farming. A lot of us grew up, we all had corn fields. And again, you know, sometimes the land has to rest, you know, so you rotate. Yeah. So we rotated our areas. A lot of our work was very communal. It wasn't all about self interests. The Navajo teaching is that we survived 30,000 years. But [00:07:00] it was our responsibility as an individual Denette to, to make sure that our society survive for eternity. Speaker 2:You know? So we had to pass teachings and knowledge. We had to make sure that all people in our community knew the stories and the ways no family was about self interests, you know, so that, that's our traditionist that's what I was taught and that's what many of us are taught. Again, we're, we're really losing those ways to more westernized self-interests, you know. [00:07:30] Well then I was, um, getting my masters in business when the light went off. I was really concerned about the, the economic situation on Navajo land and that the top down nature of planning, top down approaches to, you know, most business power plants and coal mines and oil and gas and Westernized shopping centers. Um, nothing community base. And I saw that picture. So, um, and in Grad school I started writing [00:08:00] about what could be, how, how you could incorporate tourism and that like, and develop tourism development in, in a way that's culturally responsible. Speaker 2:And you create tools to protect a culture. There's ways, there's monitoring mechanisms, there's planning tools to really allow the community to, to plan for development, but do it in a way that is responsible to the elders and to the culture and to the latest. Yeah. And make some money in that. And so that, that's where that light bulb [00:08:30] went off. Um, I was very lucky that, um, I had a group that was willing to support me, uh, an organization called Grand Canyon trust and Flagstaff [inaudible] still the director. I'm still the director. I'm out with the native America program. One of the, the foundations really liked what I was doing for foundation was a, a real supporter. Uh, this is in the mid nineties. You know, one of the first assignments I was given as a Grad student was, um, a tripe called the Kaibab Paiute were considering a waste incinerator [00:09:00] because they really need it and revenues and jobs, all the surrounding communities. Speaker 2:And all these environmental groups were really telling them that, please don't do this. Please don't do that. You know, they turned it down as a community. But what I saw was when all these groups left, nobody was helping that community. So they said no, but they didn't say, here's what you can, here's what you can do. Here's what we help. And that's where Grand Canyon trustee really a, that's where they, they brought me in and said, why did you help this community? We don't know what to do. [00:09:30] We developed a community base, economic development plan for the Paiutes and create alternatives and, and what kinds of things? It was like creating an orchard, um, improving like their herds. Um, they wanted to do a small casino, you know, things like that. I'm a small convenience store. There was no convenience store out there. The hard part is that we're communal in our culture. Speaker 2:Communal means that it's really hard for our individual tribal members to say, I want to be this big entrepreneur [00:10:00] and become a multimillionaire. And so there's been very little work on actually structuring companies where it's communal versus individualistic. Yeah. So we, we have to figure out a way we're a grammar can get into a business and, but that grandma's also the, the vessel of traditional knowledge. We have to allow her to still work on her sheep, still work on her teaching her kids. We can't just make it word. It's all about just a business venture. So that's where the light bulb went off about trying to find a better way. [00:10:30] Luckily the Navajo nation gave me that space after Grad school and said, you know, restructure our government. We give the power to the communities. Speaker 1:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to method to the madness. Public Affairs show on k a l s Berkeley celebrating innovators today. I'm speaking with Tony Skrelunas, former head of commerce for the Navajo Nation and native American program director for the Grand Canyon Trust. You worked with local communities using culturally [00:11:00] and environmentally respectful strategies that preserves and supports the culture, the language and the environment. So you had to actually change law. Speaker 2:Yeah. And they people, nobody's ever said no. It, everybody's always like, yeah, you know, we're very happy here thinking deep on this stuff. Do it then, you know, organize 'em, bring in the elders, bring the communities together, create policy. Or one of the things you did was you have created a limited profit [00:11:30] company company. Yeah. This is a recent space about three years ago, um, we started working with the chapters to communities. We, we sat down with our six communities. They were all complaining that there's small chapters, federal government, the state government, the Navajo nation government doesn't listen to them because they're all small. They take them for granted and they want it to come get an organize, an entity to really pursue grants. This is, we're too small individual, we can't even get grants but we don't have [00:12:00] the proper organizations to even apply for grants and we don't have the people, we don't have the wherewithal, we just are, are, are really in a dire situation here. Speaker 2:A couple of us that came together, a guy named Edward d, myself, Walter Phelps, uh, a few others in d, these are tribal leaders, you know, and we said, look, we will, we need to create some kind of social entrepreneurship venture. We wanted to innovate. We wanted to create not another non profit, uh, not a for profit. And we knew that there was a space in [00:12:30] between somewhere. We brought our community leaders together. Some of these leaders are elders, some of them are traditional singers in our way. We have these ancient ceremonies, you know, that that it's about getting in harmony and who does this all mean means is is you are living in harmony with the, with all the elements around you. We said let's create something that is in that arena that it's about saving who we are. That's about saving our culture. But building economy, innovating, using some of the best tools out there. Speaker 2:We were very lucky [00:13:00] to engage, uh, Arizona State University, so we've got a lot of help in planning this from them. The law school. In that research we found out that there was a thing called limited profit companies and that fit what we were wanting to do the best because again, it's not just about profit, it's a lot of it is about helping the community, helping save the culture, helping protect the land. We found that only a few states have that California has one. Yeah. Limited profit [00:13:30] law. Arizona didn't have one. So we said, and then the federal government has given the authority to our Navajo nation to, to incorporate, to have 'em so we could do like subchapter s for profit. S Corp's a LLCs, a nonprofits, but we didn't have a space for a limited profit. So we created that. We got our Navajo legislature to, to, to set up that structure and then we crafted our first one, which has done the hugill LTC your latest project. Speaker 2:Yeah. Tell me what you're doing [00:14:00] in that. There's a lot of pressures from in our nation to not only a culture rate, but to create large skill, westernized development. There was a major proposal to build all outside investors. I'm tearing apart our Navajo nation turned apart. I'm really disregarding our cultural ways. There's a tramway proposal into the sacred Grand Canyon had one of the most sacred areas where the little Colorado and the Colorado River meets. So our work has become very paramount that doe [00:14:30] that we come up with a different way, you know, because they want to build a, a thing where 10,000 visitors a day can go down into the grand cashier. Altern alternatives is let's go crazy on community base. There's all kinds of potential. We can have a plan for building USA certified processing center around um, our sheep and our lambs. That sureau is a 500 year old. Speaker 2:It's in the one of the best tasting lamb in the world, but it's also hardy. [00:15:00] It doesn't like destroy our, our range land. It only needs to be watered every three days. It's very hardy in terms of survival. Uh, but the taste is magnificent. The wool is magnificent. You know, we're, we're the rug weavers too or Navajo peoples, but we've never had a USDA certified operating center because it was all westernized return on investment and maximizing return on investment market rates, financing that won't work with something like that because we have [00:15:30] to keep it small. We know we have all these herders, we can't force them to have thousand sheep that won't work. It has to be small land stewardship. It has to be a high quality breeding, you know, and, and organic. And so that, that's a massive niche market. But, but not only are we doing the harvest facility, we're designing the harvest facilities called Little Colorado River valley meet cooperative. Speaker 2:And this is ongoing. We're setting this up. USAA has given us a startup grant. We're going to set up a communal herd. We want [00:16:00] to allow individual Navajos and non Navajos to actually be able to own sheep units in a communal herd with an offer as, and Andres grazing permits teach our ancient ways, teach our ancient traditions, cities a new crop of herders. Cause we're losing these, this knowledge, you know, but we want to make it exciting. We want to do cultural camps. And I finding that younger people, yeah, they're embracing. Yeah. There they are. There's a lot of excitement in this kind of model. [00:16:30] Another example is to, um, to create an investment vehicle. We want anybody in the world to be able to co own a Hogan bed and breakfast. Somebody to be able to own a, a venture that's reservation base, a food business, a, um, a tour company. Speaker 2:We don't have things like venture cap finance. We don't have any investors native, non-native or not can go on and say I wanna yes, Yup. [00:17:00] And we'll help them. We'll help the business set, set up their business plan, we'll help them, um, structure your company if needed. And then really develop the prospectus, develop the pitch to the investor. If they're comfortable, the we'll will, will, can serve as an intermediary. We can, but we'll manage that relationship for them. A lot of times they'll want our management team to, to sit on their, their management team to ensure that, you know, for level of three years, five years, seven years, but the space that we're going to operate that and [00:17:30] is an agriculture and tourism because it's really, really, uh, an innovation, great idea that other tribes, other nations, to duplicate something like this. And this is a brick through, I live in that world of economic development to find innovation. Speaker 2:We're going to be the first to market with, with this type of, um, our setup. We want to build on that. There's a lot of work because this is, this is really heavy duty [00:18:00] stuff we're working on, but once we set up the processes, we want to share that that's us as a limited profit company. We want to share that with other tribes. And there's lots of innovation. I mean, we're right now already doing all kinds of community planning. We're working on like teaching our communities how to have leadership on utility scale, renewable energy. Uh, we're working on a small skill of renewable energy, just as an example. This isn't, so, yeah. Yeah. Moving beyond, not just extractive industries [00:18:30] that aren't your own casinos. Yeah. One of the things that we're working on that, and we're hoping this comes through, is that the Navajo nation does like how we're innovating. Speaker 2:It's really communal. We're having a breakthrough and communal own and they want us to work on a, a communal own hotel. There's some times I have really become wealthy through casinos and, and other mechanisms. A lot of them have pooled their resources and they want to actually invest in a set [00:19:00] of communal owned hotels on Navajo. Yeah. It's ever been done. That platform that you're creating is gonna create the capital. Yeah. The capital, uh, the, the, the world was all the vehicles do to allow access to, to outside capital and then access to the, to the reservation business too. So this will be a massive innovation. But we see it having all kinds of application even on like traditional farming, you know, cause we have, um, farmers that know how to read all everything. Like the weather patterns, [00:19:30] seasons, they have heirloom seeds that they pass from generation to generation. Speaker 2:They knew how to read the the types of different types of washes and some of the tribes that we work with are like Hopi where their desert, they farm in the, in the sand and, and their carnitas thrives, you know, but they, they really know that knowledge. We have one lady that that's a farmer out in a curly valley in Tuba city. That's one of our larger Navajo communities. She only waters once a year and she has an incredible crop lands [00:20:00] at that. Our farmer markets, she's amazing. Her family's a main attraction. So why did they do that? They have an aquifer. No, no they did. And they use only organic traditional methods to keep up pests. They have their own traditional seed banks. They know which corn kernels to to plant and they know that it'll thrive in that desert environment in that area. Speaker 2:They know how to lay out the fields. Just perfect query that, you know, they'll build booms on the site. They know like when it does rain that they'll capture [00:20:30] that rain. But then when they do water once a year, if you do it just right, she believes if you do it, if you followed the traditional teachings just right, you shouldn't feel, our communities are adapting to climate change too because we have all tool wounds, winds. We have a lot of temperature volatility [inaudible] more to come. The scientists before we're saying that climate change is going to heavily impact our area and we're considered like a hot spot. We don't want to wait. It's our traditional way. It's our responsibility to, to, to [00:21:00] figure out strategies for the longterm. We're not shortsighted with this. A good way to put it is that our people lived for 30,000 years and they live sustainably. Speaker 2:They really had happiness. Our tribal peoples in this northern South America creed at 73% of the world's food, over 200 a key medicines. We were once over 100 million, one third of the world's population. A lot of that, that was decimated by disease and and, but we know how to live sustainably. [00:21:30] If I was an investor, I would invest in something that ensures survival for another 30,000 years. And that's something that hasn't been been thought through. We all have to invest in that and that's why we really put a lot of effort into preserve our knowledge systems and our ways. We also have to have a job. Our kids have to go to college. Um, our kids want to go to college, they want to have a house, they want to have running water, they want to have cell phones, you know, they want to travel the world. Speaker 2:So, so we were trying to build that system [00:22:00] where it accommodates both. Any of our listeners want to know more about this or get involved, what should they do? Thank you for asking that question. We know that this is something that's applicable to the world, that tribal peoples in Asia, even in Europe and in South America, Australia, Canada, there's a real desire to do things in a way that's culturally compatible. I'm a lot of our peoples who resist westernized development, [00:22:30] people like Walmart, large scale development have always wanted to bill on our lands. But a lot of our community people say, no, we just had a community turn down a massive solar plant because it was very westernized. What we're doing is really important to, to the future of these tribes that are struggling with this. We have a website right now called [inaudible], l three c can you tell d I n e h o z, h o [inaudible] and then ltc.com we're adding [00:23:00] all kinds of video. Speaker 2:We have a team that's very fluent in our traditional way, but we're also very business knowledgeable. You know, we're, a lot of us are MBAs and Harvard. We don't have a Berkeley Grad on our team yet, hopefully soon. But we have a Stanford Grad, we have ASU grads, we have a guidance getting his phd and sustainable economics, you know, and we have traditional community leaders that are medicine men that sing in our way. So, so we have a great team. We're building this website where we [00:23:30] can teach our methodologies and our research. You know, the, the work I've done on community governance, we're going to have a whole education area where we were going to all papers and research and even videos and how you do certain things. You know, we'll have bases around traditional economic development approaches where it's compatible with culture. A, we'll have ventures, you know, how, what we've done to create ventures, the philosophies, the tools that we use to create these companies. Um, we'll feature a lot [00:24:00] of the work that we're doing in the communities. Again, we have a great team. We have a good web team that's building this, so, but you can already see what we're doing on, on that website, but it's going to be expanded in a major way. Speaker 2:If a company like let's say m Elon Musk, Tesla comes to you and says, I want to follow your traditional ways, but I would love to build a battery plant. Would you work with somebody like this? We would home. I have a, a little brother, his name is Brett eyes. He's [00:24:30] a engineer and he's, um, started a company from scratch. Um, I work in the, as an advisor, uh, to his company, but it's a solar company for a long time. You know, our Navajo nation, we'll write a grant. Somebody wins that grant, but the, the systems they would sell our people. And again, after the United States, the now hold people is the one that's, we're really spread out the size of West Virginia. Uh, we still have 18,000 families that don't have electricity. And so this is really important to, to [00:25:00] our nation. A lot of times these companies would come in and sell an inferior product that's way over price with no local maintenance knowledge, you know, no local capacity. Speaker 2:We changed that. We create our own company, we build our own battery boxes. We, we architectured and design engineer our own rack systems. Um, we found very good wholesalers that the system that Brett is building is incredible. A whole community systems, small individual systems at all different cost levels. Um, we use a lot [00:25:30] of social entrepreneurship approaches. So we use volunteers to build a lot of them and that people's homes, we figured out real different ways to find out some. So it's very innovative. We are starting to work with solar mosaic who's in the bay. We're gonna make a breakthrough what utilities skill and we're gonna actually put some of the revenues towards a stream towards funding a bunch of, um, smaller skill systems on our Navajo land. We were working with another group here called cutting edge capital to set up this platform. So to allow people from [00:26:00] all over the country to actually invest in these local companies that that's where we're headed with this in Grad school. Speaker 2:I research community base development as one of the best paths for our nation, our tribal peoples, to build an economy while preserving who we are. Well, preserving our land. When I try to implement that with our Navajo nation very young, I was very in, you know, early twenties, um, I found a lot of [00:26:30] obstacles, communities that were not allowed to plan if they did, only the central government took over the plan. Implementation communities had one pace structure, very low, like $18,000 for what's called a chapter. Communities. We're not allowed to have their own legal council. They couldn't have their own accounting systems. They couldn't create revenue. There is no local, nothing like a sales tax. There's no sales tax that existed, but communities couldn't tax. They couldn't pass any laws, they couldn't zone. And a lot of people, [00:27:00] they believe in what I was trying to do. Speaker 2:I was hired as a young man to lead our nation to, to change our, our governance structure to a system that allows for all those things. Um, we flexibility because all the communities are different in simple terms. It's like a, how you incorporate a community in a state that they, you want to be town. You know, you're speaking of, you put in your policies and procedures, your accounting systems, your finance systems, your, you know, your plan of how you can manage the land you take over responsibility. That took [00:27:30] about 40 years of my life, my career. I worked with elders and traditional leaders and community leaders, um, had massive, massive public policy process. It's something that has been the changer for Navajo nation. I studied traditional systems of government and I was very lucky to be surrounded by people that were really knowledgeable in tribal history, our history of our nation and how things were a long time ago. Speaker 2:So we, we incorporated a lot of those ways into our alternative systems that government, [00:28:00] which is systems of government space in all the way. Um, so a community that gets local government certified can adop, uh, like requests while a council and not, ah, which is a long time ago, like I was saying, you didn't know we didn't have elections. We didn't say I'm better than So-and-so. We couldn't say that. That wasn't our way. Now community can adopt that and have precincts and have the elders come together and select and then nominate and pick somebody to represent them and be accountable to them. It's a real [00:28:30] innovation. It's real, a breakthrough. And I'm really proud to be the one that created that. It's easy to look at tribal peoples and say, oh, they're, they're not wealthy. They're, um, they only do in casinos. They're living in a third world conditions, you know. Speaker 2:But what our people tell us is that wealth is not just big house. It's not just big cars and fancy words. It's really our clan ships and our family units and our traditional knowledge systems and having the knowledge to to [00:29:00] build on your own home and farm, but using 30,000 year old knowledge, knowing the songs and the teachings and the stories, raising a family that's strong and leaving a legacy as your life. You know, a lot of us, we resist completely westernizing ourselves. We want something better and I think only now through education, through being raised in our tribal way still, but being matching that with with the best tools that we are finding [00:29:30] the pathway to to achieve a [inaudible], a balance, a harmonious way. And I think, yeah, most people, they want to be like America. They want a three branch government and commerce free market economy, but we have to be careful how we think that through. When we create governments, we have to really think about the old knowledge systems, the old ways because right now our world's in trouble. Even our, our commerce systems and our economies are really built [00:30:00] to, to benefit the wealthy. There are a lot of people in the world that are moving to that way of thinking. Non-Native people who also agree that there's no other way to do it. We can feel it though the greater university. Speaker 1:Hello step. This is the right week. Terry. Thank you very much, Graham. Thank you for your time and yeah, good luck. Good luck. Berkeley, you've been listening to method to the madness public affairs show on k a l ex Berkeley [00:30:30] celebrating innovators.
