“The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” – Charles Schwab In business, and more specifically in sales, I believe that selling and communicating from a place of love, care, and respect is vital for attracting the right people to your team and creating advocates for you and your business. There is so much information and training on leadership, yet we are losing ground regarding appreciation and encouragement for our employees. Through conversations with colleagues, friends, and my own family, I see this lack of appreciation in different organizations and in various industries.   It's sad, but there is a better way to lead people to achieve their highest productivity levels. So, how do we accomplish this?

It's a tremendous honor for me to share my podcast with Olympic legend and humanitarian, Billy Mills.  Billy Mills was born in 1938 and grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, home to the Oglala Lakota Nation. Billy had a very difficult childhood, losing his mother, sister, and father by the age of 12. He turned to running as both an escape and a source of discipline. After his father's passing, Billy attended the Haskell Institute, a U.S. government run boarding school for Native American children. Schools like Haskell were controversial for their forced assimilation, physical and emotional abuse, and systematically trying to erase their students Indigenous identities. Billy, though, had a positive experience at Haskell, where he met his coach Tony Coffin, who became somewhat of a father figure to him. Coffin recognized Billy's talent and helped nurture his running abilities, providing him with the foundation that would later lead to his collegiate and Olympic success. Also, during his time at Haskell, Billy spent one of his summers as a counselor at Camp Greylock in Beckett, Massachusetts, which is the summer camp that I went to many years later and is a very important part of my life. So it's very special for me to share this link with Billy. At Haskell, Billy won multiple state championships in track and cross country, earning him a scholarship to the University of Kansas, where Billy would be coached by Bill Easton. Easton was a highly respected track and field coach who led Kansas to multiple NCAA championships, and at Kansas, Billy was one of the best distance runners in the country. He was a three time All American, won multiple Big Eight titles, and was runner up in the 1960 cross country championships. Through all of this, however, Billy faced numerous challenges, including discrimination at every level, including from Easton, hypoglycemia, and struggles with self doubt. At times, Billy even contemplated suicide, and in his senior year, he walked off the track and quit the team completely. Fortunately for Billy, the University of Kansas is also where he met and began dating a young woman named Patricia Pat Collins. Pat played a crucial role in Billy's journey, supporting him through the challenges he faced as an athlete and as a Native American navigating the world of elite sports. After graduating Kansas, Billy married Pat, joined the U. S. Marine Corps, and resumed training with the goal of not just making the U. S. Olympic team and not just winning a medal, but winning the gold medal in the 10K. Which he did. In 1964, Billy qualified for the Tokyo Olympics in the 10, 000 meter race, where he stunned the world with a historic, come from behind victory, becoming the first and still the only American, or even the only person from the Western Hemisphere, to win the gold medal in the event. He also remains the only Native American, other than Jim Thorpe, to win a gold medal in the Olympics. His triumph is considered one of the greatest Olympic upsets and victories of all time. Since Billy's victory in the 1964 Tokyo Games, Billy and Pat have dedicated their lives to giving back, co founding Running Strong for American Indian Youth, an organization that empowers Indigenous communities through health, education, and self sufficiency programs. Their journey is one of perseverance, cultural pride, and spreading a message of unity through diversity. All values that are very much at the heart of the Charity Miles community. Which naturally, is why we want to also thank our partners at Brooks Running who are very much champions for these values as well. For over a century, Brooks has been propelled by a never-ending curiosity with how humans move. It drives their every decision and every innovation. Because they believe movement is the key to feeling more alive. And we're all moving towards something. It could be the top of a mountain, a first-ever 5K,  peace of mind after a stressful day, or an Olympic gold medal.  It could be a cure for Parkinson's, a cleaner planet, fair play, or the strength that comes from our diversity. So… let's run there. With gear and experiences specifically designed to take you to that place. Whether it's a headspace, a feeling, or a finish line. Let's run there.

Sean Sherman is an activist and the chef at restaurant Owamni, Minneapolis. He is also an educator, an author and a member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. He was born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and as a teenager began working in restaurants and also worked as a field surveyor for the forest service, where he gained knowledge of native plants. After moving to Minneapolis and working as an executive chef, he realized that none of the produce he used represented the land they were currently on, or what the people indigenous to the area ate. He found no Native American restaurants anywhere throughout most of North America and learned that traditional foodways had been almost entirely wiped off the map. Since then, he has dedicated his career to supporting and promoting indigenous food systems. His cooking is based on pre-colonial ingredients that are native to North America, like bison, hand-harvested wild rice, cedar, and sumac. He draws on the knowledge and culinary techniques of his ancestors to develop innovative, nutritious, and flavorful dishes. Through his activism and advocacy, he is helping to reclaim and celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Indigenous communities around the world.

Episode 346: In this episode, we look into the life and mysterious murder of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash, a prominent Indigenous activist whose story continues to haunt the corridors of justice and activism alike. During the tumultuous 1970s, her journey took her from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, to the heart of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in the United States, where she fought for Indigenous rights. The mystery surrounding Annie Mae's death is as compelling as her life. In December 1975, she disappeared and was later found deceased on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Initial reports misleadingly attributed her death to exposure, but a second autopsy revealed she had been executed with a bullet to the back of her head. This revelation raised questions about who could have orchestrated such a brutal act against someone so profoundly committed to her cause. It took almost 30 years before the shocking truth was uncovered and the people responsible for Annie's murder were brought to justice.

Becky Robbins is native to Colorado where she lived until moving to California to honor both mountains and the ocean. The variety in her career choices have included medicine, the business of creation and development of personal growth and at this time, the business of creating art. Her life choices that have contributed to this endeavor owe to her love of Nature both above and below the sea, of worldwide indigenous cultures, science, music, theater and the exploration of the psychology and spirituality of humans and creatures.   Her art became the focus of her life after leaving the personal development business and having a curiosity for all things that have profound depth and interconnectedness in tangible and ethereal ways.  Minimal academic art education created the freedom for Becky to immerse in series of art vastly different and unique that have led her to this current expression which is her signature style, while every painting is its own individual world.   Her art is informed by her love of adventure travel and back roads experiences chosen to illuminate the land, its creatures, the cultures and their self-expression in both lifestyle and the things they make. This depth of knowledge which is never complete nor permanent is what gives each painting its own voice and keeps Becky returning to the easel as a tool for her own awareness and expansion in her personal life and operating system in the world at large.   Her work is experienced in the images portrayed, collaborated at times with other artists and photographers, and in the manner the viewer is taken on a personal journey of their own. Each oil painted piece is a half-year process itself and perceived through the lens of the artist and the world she inhabits.    Her current projects include a show created for television called The Art of Art. It's a cinematographic experience seeing individual creators in the process of their craft and it's hosted by Becky. She interviews these masters and ties in those who use the creations.How does paint get in a tube? That question created the trip through the Old Holland Paint Company labs where pigments from the Masters were obtained and are still used to make some of the best oil paints in the world. That episode ends with a tour through the Restoration Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC. A visual feast! Another episode stars saddle makers and the intricate process they use and includes the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and how a group is focused on creating indoor arenas for the children to be able to have refuge in the long South Dakota winters, reviving their heritage by learning to ride horses, participating in relay races between tribes and much more.   Becky has had remarkable healing experiences after 2 total knee replacement surgeries by using lasers that are unique in the world, created by a unique doctor and is devoted to getting these out into the world to assist others with healing from surgeries, injuries, cognitive decline and more. It's a passion for her to help others achieve the freedom she now has.    Becky describes herself as an outdoor person when not in her studio, loves an active lifestyle of skiing, diving, hiking, and and more. An avid learner, she enjoys her guitar, djembe drums, research and discovery. She is an advocate of HeartMath and meditation, her spiritual evolution and care of this planet Earth. She is a devoted supporter of La Jolla Playhouse and Scripps Institute of Oceanography's Birch Aquarium and a program Just Like My Child for Girl Power in Uganda and India. . She treasures her family and lives and works in Del Mar, California.  

MORTON, Minn. — The Lower Sioux Indian Community celebrated the opening of its new hemp-processing facility with a full day of hemp education and demonstrations on September 5, 2024.

At the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, little-known American runner Billy Mills achieved what many believe to have been the greatest upset in Olympic running history. He defeated world-record-holder Ron Clarke and a global field in the 10,000-meter final. To this day, Mills is the only American to have won Olympic Gold at the classic 25-lap distance. You can watch his famous last-lap sprint here on ⁠YouTube.⁠ It's less well known that Mills also qualified for and ran the Olympic Marathon in 1964. He doesn't clearly remember the latter stages of that race, as he nearly blacked out from hypoglycemia. But he finished 14th in 2:22:54.  In this podcast, Mills talks about:  # Growing up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation as a member of the Oglala Lakota people # Attending Kansas University, where he began to dream of Olympic success # Joining the U.S. Marines after college # Where he got the courage and confidence to challenge Ron Clarke in the Olympic 10,000 meter race # A final 200-meter speed session 4 days before the 10,000, where he clocked 23.3 from a standing start# The true meaning of an Olympic championship # His family's plans to attend their 14th Olympics this summer in Paris Where To Find “Running: State of the Sport” Use your smartphone to download podcast apps from Apple, Spotify, Audible, Pandora, or YouTube Podcasts.

We hear a lot about students who are not engaged in school.  But what happens when schools begin to do things differently to give students more control over their education — in everything from hiring staff to student discipline policies?  MPR News host Angela Davis shares a conversation she moderated this spring with high school students, principals and teachers from three public schools who are finding new ways to support student leaders. A technical high school on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota is helping students explore careers and Indigenous identity. A small public charter high school in Brooklyn Park involves students resolving discipline issues.  And, at a small-town school in southeastern Minnesota high school students help out in the elementary school classrooms.  The panel discussion was held May 7 in Minneapolis at an annual education reform gathering called “Student-Centered Learning for Equity” convened by the Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization Education Evolving and supported by the Bush Foundation.  Guests:   Cari-Ana Garcia Luna is the director and superintendent of SAGE Academy, a public charter high school in Brooklyn Park.  Skye Leng is a ninth grader at SAGE Academy.   Marlin Kingi is a social studies teacher and student council advisor at Lakota Tech High School, a public high school in Oglala Lakota County on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.  Marcel Swallow is a sophomore at Lakota Tech High School.  Luke Kjelland is principal of Spring Grove Public Schools, a public kindergarten through 12th grade school in Spring Grove in southeast Minnesota.  Ellie Halverson is a senior at Spring Grove Public Schools.

In today's episode, we discuss the injustice faced by one of our elders, Leonard Peltier, a member of the American Indian Movement. We'll explore the events leading up to the 1975 shootout at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and the subsequent deaths of two FBI agents.We'll examine how the FBI's overreach and jurisdictional tensions escalated conflicts with Native American activists. The FBI's spread of misinformation sowed doubt within the AIM community, and their aggressive tactics led to a tragic outcome for a coerced witness, who ultimately died under suspicious circumstances later revealed to be a gunshot wound.Join us as we navigate these twists and turns, challenging you to reconsider your perspective on government actions and justice.

In this episode we go over the greatest movement in American History... The American Indian Movement! They became the number 1  Native American advocacy group.  Founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, AIM emerged in response to the widespread injustices and discrimination faced by Native Americans, including issues such as police brutality, high unemployment rates, and inadequate housing and healthcare.AIM's primary goals were to address these injustices and to promote Native American sovereignty, self-determination, and cultural preservation. The organization gained national attention in the 1970s through a series of highly publicized protests and actions."INDIANS OF ALL TRIBES"  SEIZES Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay in 1969 AND HELD IT FOR 19 MONTHS... Check out our series on this. This protest, known as the Alcatraz Occupation, lasted for over a year and brought attention to the federal government's policies towards Native Americans.Another significant event was the 1973 occupation of the town of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This 71-day standoff between AIM activists and federal law enforcement was a response to long-standing grievances within the reservation and resulted in widespread media coverage and a renewed focus on Native American issues.Throughout its history, AIM has faced internal divisions and controversies, but it remains an important voice for Native American rights and continues to advocate for social, economic, and political justice for indigenous peoples in the United States.

This date in 1975 was the last day when homosexuality was illegal in North Dakota, a change that came with little fanfare as North Dakota newspapers focused on other things. A tornado had killed an infant; there was flooding in West Fargo; a civil war in Lebanon; a new adoption law; repeal of the margarine tax, two FBI agents shot dead on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the old governor's mansion being set for renovation.

Confronting the bitter legacy of boarding schools in the United States is about more than just reconciliation and healing. It's also about accountability. American Genocide, the new podcast by Illuminative, zeroes in on the Red Cloud Indian Boarding School, which is now a Catholic school on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It sparks the difficult conversation about the past and present trauma perpetrated on Native children and who should have a say in how it's spoken.

Pastor Matt Hadden provides an update of the Lord's continuing work on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Kevin Pourier is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, has been carving Buffalo horn on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota for about 20 years. Pourier is one of the only artists in the country working in the medium of incised buffalo horn. The works he produces carry forward Lakota artistic practices for creating spoons, vessels and other every day items of sublime beauty from the horns of the revered animal. His carvings reveal the beauty he sees in the world around us, utilizing imagery intent on inspiring thought, growth and creating the opportunity for education. Kevin's award winning art has been collected by major museums and private collections worldwide. His work has been shown in Paris, New York City, Los Angeles, Denver and Kansas City. He is the recent recipient of the prestigious Best of Show Award at the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts show held annually at Santa Fe, NM 2018.

Working with a group of over fifty students at the Little Wound School in Kyle, South Dakota, Mark Hetzel collected countless hours of oral history interviews with Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Mark and his students then turned those interviews into a 7-part audio series that attempts to piece together the long and complicated story of the Lakota oyate, or nation, through the voices of local elders and community members. These are available in the form of a podcast called the “Heart of All Oral History Project.” As Mark's students write on the Heart of All website, “We see this project as an opportunity to finally tell our own story, to set the record straight, and to be reminded, by our own relatives, where we came from and who we really are.” Framed as a conversation between community elders and students at the Little Wound School, the podcast series reflects the oral storytelling tradition that represents how Lakota people traditionally passed their knowledge from one generation to the next. But this process was interrupted by the US Federal Government's assimilationist policies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, which punished Lakota people from speaking their language or practicing their traditional culture in boarding schools and other institutions of settler colonialism. By providing a space for Lakota people to tell their own history in their own voices, this oral history project thus represents a profound statement of Indigenous sovereignty and Lakota resistance to the epistemic imperialism of the United States. It is also a rich resource for non-Native people who are interested to learn more about the violent history of settler colonialism, the immense courage and steadfast resilience of Lakota people, as well as the beauty, creativity, and humor that characterizes Lakota culture. This interview was conducted by Lukas Rieppel, a historian at Brown University. You can learn more about his research here.

What that really is about is the company is soaring on the wings of thriving humans at work, and the profit is the outcome. An outcome not the goal.” - Kevin Hancock, chairman and CEO of Hancock Lumber.   Links: Amber Lambke's episode Gandhi Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota “Not For Sale: Finding Center in The Land of Crazy Horse” (book) “The Seventh Power: One CEO's Journey Into the Business of Shared Leadership” (book) “48 Whispers: From Pine Ridge and the Northern Plains” (book)   Activate the PR Maven® Flash Briefing on your Alexa Device.  Join the PR Maven® Facebook group.      About the guest:     Kevin Hancock is the CEO of one of America's oldest family businesses as well as an award-winning author and nationally recognized public speaker.

In the first half-hour Tiokasin welcomes film Director Jesse Short Bull. Jesse wrote and produced the 2013 short Istinma, set in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of South Dakota. A graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Jesse received a 2016 Sundance Institute Native American and Indigenous Program Development Grant and also attended the Creative Producing Summit at Sundance. In 2014 he was part of the effort to change the name of Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County in South Dakota. Currently employed by the Oglala Lakota tribal government, Jesse is a member of the board of the Black Hills Film Festival. With the First Peoples Fund, Jesse leads youth filmmaking workshops in the Oglala Lakota Nation. Lakota Nation vs. United States - directed by Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli - had its world premier on June 11, 2022 at the Tribeca Film Festival. View the trailer here: https://youtu.be/HtK5JPZx_XMIn the second half, returning guest Dr. Tink Tinker is the Clifford Baldridge Emeritus Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is a citizen of the Osage Nation (wazhazhe) and has been an activist in urban American Indian communities for four decades. He joined the faculty at Iliff School of Theology in 1985 and brought an American Indian perspective to this predominantly euro-christian school. Dr. Tinker is committed to a scholarly endeavor that takes seriously both the liberation of Indian peoples from their historic oppression as colonized communities and the liberation of euro-christian (White) Americans, the historic colonizers and oppressors of Indian peoples, whose self-narrative typically avoids naming the violence committed against Indians in favor of a romance narrative that justifies their euro-christian occupancy of Indian lands.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerMalcolm Burn, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NYTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.

If you are a part of ranch life in any capacity, you understand that it's always demanding. There are always things to be done, fixed, or implemented. And, even in "down time," much time is spent preparing for the busyness to start all over again.It is in that same spirit and understanding that Cheyenne delivers this short but important announcement to her audience!She has decided to press pause to take care of her mind, body, and spirit as well as her responsibilities during this very busy time.  And hopefully, she'll inspire others to give themselves permission to do the same!!Who is Cheyenne Wilson?Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana. This is where her intense love of horses and cattle began. She also learned to love and respect the land from a very young age. She runs black Angus cattle and raises half-draft horses with her husband and son. Their place is known as the Lazy Six Nine Ranch. Cheyenne is also an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. She and her family reside and ranch on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They also spend time in Montana in the Beartooth Mountains.Cheyenne strives daily to spread positivity and awareness of modern-day ranching. One of her passions is empowering women involved in agriculture to live life at a higher level. She strives to perpetuate the ever-evolving role of women in agriculture through her blog (The Native Cowgirl), public speaking, photography, and social media outlets.She loves helping rural entrepreneurs level up in what they are passionate about. This includes updating company branding, amplifying social media platforms, increasing website traffic, one-on-one coaching for business/personal growth, etc.She has been able to build her business from the ground up earning 7-figures in only three years -- in the middle of nowhere.She always says, "If I can do this, you can too!"Learn more about Cheyenne & sign up for her newsletter: https://www.thenativecowgirl.com/

Sometimes you meet someone and you just know that you're going to be great friends! And that is exactly what happened when Cheyenne met Phyllis Burchett. They were like kindred spirits from the start!Prior to launching into photography, Phyllis was a horse trainer and breeding-farm manager. She primarily showed Appaloosas where she won Appaloosa World and National Championships along with several Honor Rolls. She trained horses for my amateur and youth clients who went on to win several titles as well.After her show career, Phyllis managed an equine breeding farm where she was in charge of all aspects of the Artificial Insemination Program from collection to breeding.Then, she was bitten by the photography bug, and a severe case of wanderlust, She has traveled the Earth capturing the amazing creatures that inhabit the world with us. And she continues to work one-on-one with clients to create custom artwork that they will treasure for a lifetime. Learn more about Phyllis and see her amazing photography:https://phyllisburchettphoto.nethttps://www.instagram.com/phyllisburchettphotoWho is Cheyenne Wilson?Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana.

Sometimes raw talent is something that isn't discovered until we step out of our comfort zone and try something new! In today's podcast, Cheyenne interviews Erica Mannix, to discuss her time on the ranch and how she fills her time outside of ranchwork.Erica Mannix is one of 5 members of the 5th generation currently working on the Mannix Ranch in Helmville, MT. The ranch is currently managed by members of both the 4th and 5th generation and is currently working through the process of succession. It is largely a cow-calf and stocker operation in addition to growing a direct-to-consumer meat brand called Mannix Family Grass-Finished Beef. Erica moved back to the ranch two and a half years ago after years of attending undergrad and graduate school, working as an elementary teacher, training horses, and working as a Holistic Ranch Management intern. She now works about ¾ time for the family ranch, works part-time for the Quivira Coalition's New Agrarian Program doing workshop and education coordination, and fills her remaining hours with custom leatherwork.  Who is Cheyenne Wilson?Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana.

What do a pen and equine bodywork have in common? After listening to today's podcast, you'll understand that both are a bit of magic created by the hands of Cheyenne's guest, Kaycee Monnens.Kaycee is a Catholic writer, agricultural freelance journalist, and equine body worker. She's constantly on the road, always reading at least five books at a time, and loves to dabble in the kitchen when she has time (although she says her fiancé is a far superior cook). She is passionate about the western way of life, traditional Christian values, and the betterment of the lives of horses. Her hobbies include roping, helping out on the ranch, watching British television, visiting museums, and walking with her Corgi, Izzy. She regularly works on equine world champions, up-and-comers, and cowboys' best using horses. Trained by experts in the field, she offers a comprehensive session to each unique horse: stretching, deep massage, and overall mobility. No part of the horse is overlooked in each session.

In this podcast episode, Cheyenne interviews creative cowgirls, Skye Ogilvie and Blue Borton.Skye Ogilvie is the cowgirl behind Cielo Cinches.  She grew up in Western Montana where horses were her family's livelihood. In 1994, with the assistance of my friend, Rebecca Morgan-Albertson, she built her first cinch. She was only a teenager at the time,  but she fell in love with mohair back then. Some 17 years later, she was approached by Rebecca to film her cinch-making DVD. By the time filming was complete, she had made up her mind that custom cinch making is what she wanted to pursue.Now, she builds custom breast collars and cinches for NFR qualifiers and Quarter Horse World finalists, to everyday working cowboys. She believes every horse and rider deserves comfortable, well-fitting gear that expresses their personality and benefits their horsemanship journey!Blue Borton lives on a ranch in Western South Dakota with her husband, Cory and a Basset Hound named Patsy. They stay busy most of the year caring for Angus cows and training horses. Blue says that she inherited her creative genes from her grandmother, Elva, who was a child of the Depression and had an appreciation of beautiful things. She knew that you could make do, reuse, and recycle before it was the trendy thing to do. She loved fine clothing and developed her skills to sew a Vogue pattern to perfection. Blue appreciates items with memories and heritage. Patching a rip in your favorite pair of jeans with a stylish yet useful patch or bringing your grandfather's jacket into a piece that you can call your own. She prides herself that every piece she creates is truly one of a kind!

Kevin Hancock, featured in the New York Times, and author of 48 Whispers (Post Hill Press; https://thebusinessofsharedleadership.com/). As the CEO of Hancock Lumber, Kevin struggled to guide the two-century-old lumber company through the 2007 collapse of the housing market only to lose some of his voice to the rare neurological speech disorder, spasmodic dysphonia. This experience sent him journeying more than twenty times to the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota in search of voice recovery through self-reflection and immersion in nature. While at Pine Ridge, he met an entire community that felt a piece of their authentic voice had been taken or stolen from them—helping him realize there are lots of way to lose one's voice in this world. From this experience, Kevin came to see life as a quest for self-actualization. A unique photojournalism collection of short meditations, accompanied by full-page color photographs of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and the northern plains, 48 Whispers explores the concepts of shared leaders, dispersed power, and respect for all voices. Kevin's full-page color photos and writings span a decade of over twenty visits to the region—during which time he builds a series of deep friendships on the reservation and takes two Lakota names. ------------------------------- As of this moment, we have over 80 hours of premium videos available at path11tv.com, with new videos added regularly.
