Bigfoot Stalks Fishermen Near Ponca City — ‘Something Forced Us To Leave'

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, a father and son from Ponca City, Oklahoma share a chilling series of Bigfoot encounters that span nearly a decade. What began near Highway 60 and Charlie Creek escalated into multiple close-range Sasquatch sightings around Kaw Dam and the river, including one terrifying moment where a teenager finds himself just three feet away from a massive, grunting figure in the dark. As cows panic, coyotes scatter, and something unseen moves through the trees, the family realizes this is no ordinary wildlife encounter.The story includes face-to-face Bigfoot encounters, nighttime fishing incidents, reports of possible infrasound effects, and unsettling behavior that suggests intelligence and intent. With activity reported by locals, hunters, and even law enforcement sources, this episode explores why so many encounters go unreported — and what happens when Sasquatch refuses to stay hidden. If you're interested in real Bigfoot sightings, Sasquatch encounters in Oklahoma, Kaw Dam stories, and firsthand cryptid experiences, this is an episode you won't forget.

Cuts in grants and operating funds, federal staff reductions, and department disorganization - and the federal government shutdown - all took a toll on the work done by tribal museums this year. Tribal museums are a source of economic development for many tribes, but more than that they offer an authentic and more comprehensive picture of Native culture and history than their non-Native counterparts. As Tribal Museums Week gets underway, we'll check in with tribal museums about their work and what they hope to accomplish in the current unpredictable environment for so many cultural institutions.

On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens examines why the Trump administration is attempting to erase Indigenous Peoples from U.S. history. On Oct. 9, former president Donald Trump signed a proclamation restoring Columbus Day, calling the explorer “a true American hero” and suggesting that “every citizen is eternally indebted to his relentless determination”. To dig into the implications, Cierra talks with Brett Chapman, a Ponca and Pawnee lawyer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His ancestor, Chief Standing Bear, was a civil rights activist. Today, Chapman continues that legacy by defending Native American sovereignty in the courts. He shares his thoughts on what the Trump administration's policies mean for Indigenous Peoples in the United States. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

Tribal officials are among those pushing back against President Donald Trump's plan to cut off some $500 million dollars in federal funds used for tribal housing, business development and infrastructure projects. The National Congress of American Indians calls the action by Trump related to the federal government shutdown “a critical threat to our communities' economic future.” Trump's intended elimination of the Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund is the latest blow from the government shutdown that could have series consequences for Native Nations.

"I Am a Man": Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice by Joe Starita https://www.amazon.com/Am-Man-Standing-Journey-Justice/dp/0312533047 In 1877, Chief Standing Bear's Ponca Indian tribe was forcibly removed from their Nebraska homeland and marched to what was then known as Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), in what became the tribe's own Trail of Tears. “I Am a Man” chronicles what happened when Standing Bear set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to return the body of his only son to their traditional burial ground. Along the way, it examines the complex relationship between the United States government and the small, peaceful tribe and the legal consequences of land swaps and broken treaties, while never losing sight of the heartbreaking journey the Ponca endured. It is a story of survival---of a people left for dead who arose from the ashes of injustice, disease, neglect, starvation, humiliation, and termination. On another level, it is a story of life and death, despair and fortitude, freedom and patriotism. A story of Christian kindness and bureaucratic evil. And it is a story of hope---of a people still among us today, painstakingly preserving a cultural identity that had sustained them for centuries before their encounter with Lewis and Clark in the fall of 1804. Before it ends, Standing Bear's long journey home also explores fundamental issues of citizenship, constitutional protection, cultural identity, and the nature of democracy---issues that continue to resonate loudly in twenty-first-century America. It is a story that questions whether native sovereignty, tribal-based societies, and cultural survival are compatible with American democracy. Standing Bear successfully used habeas corpus, the only liberty included in the original text of the Constitution, to gain access to a federal court and ultimately his freedom. This account aptly illuminates how the nation's delicate system of checks and balances worked almost exactly as the Founding Fathers envisioned, a system arguably out of whack and under siege today. Joe Starita's well-researched and insightful account reads like historical fiction as his careful characterizations and vivid descriptions bring this piece of American history brilliantly to life.About the author Joe Starita holds an endowed professorship at the University of Nebraska College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Previously, he spent 14 years at The Miami Herald – four years as the newspaper's New York Bureau Chief and four years on its Investigations Team, where he specialized in investigating the questionable practices of doctors, lawyers and judges. One of his stories was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in local reporting. Interested since his youth in Native American history and culture, he returned to his native Nebraska in 1992 and began work on a three-year writing project examining five generations of a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne family. The Dull Knifes of Pine Ridge – A Lakota Odyssey, published in 1995 by G.P. Putnam Sons (New York), won the Mountain and Plains Booksellers Award, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in history, has been translated into six languages and is the subject of an upcoming documentary. Starita's most recent book – “I Am A Man” – Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice – was published in January 2009 by St. Martin's Press (New York) and has gone into a seventh printing.

Tulsa, Okla. Mayor Monroe Nichols is championing a $105 million reparations package for the survivors and families of his city's 1921 Race Massacre. It's a philanthropy-driven city and housing rejuvenation project to offset the continuing repercussions from the coordinated attack more than a century ago. At the time, thousands of white residents besieged what was among the most successful and affluent Black communities in the early 20th century. Three hundred Black people died and more than a thousand homes and businesses were destroyed. Years of efforts to compensate descendants for the violence have failed. We'll get perspectives from Freedmen descendants about the importance of this ambitious effort to set things right. Also, we'll learn about a swamp with connections to Indigenous people going back thousands of years. On the homelands of the Nansemond Indian Nation in Virginia, the Great Dismal Swamp was a safe space for tribes. It also became a refuge for Black freedom seekers escaping slavery.

Im Mai 1879 kam es in Nebraska zu einen wegweisenden Prozess. Erstmals in den USA musste eine zentrale Frage geklärt werden: Sind Indianer auch Personen? Im Januar 1877 wurde der kleine Stamm der Ponca-Natives von ihrer Heimat in Nebraska vertrieben und im 600 Meilen entfernten Indian Territory im heutigen Oklahoma untergebracht. Zwei Jahre später wurden 30 Ponca verhaftet, weil sie das ihnen zugewiesene Reservat verlassen und in ihre alte Heimat zurückgekehrt waren. Doch statt das die Natives wieder in ihr Reservat zurückkehren mussten, kam zu einem Prozess - und ein indigenenfreundlicher Offizier fand sich auf der Anklagebank wieder.

(Conversation recorded on June 12th, 2024)   Show Summary:  As we move through difficult cultural transitions and rethink our governance systems, it will be critical that we listen to voices that are rooted beyond the conventional Western thinking that has come to dominate our society. As such, it is always an honor when Indigenous leaders share their experiences and wisdom with the broader public. This week, Casey Camp-Horinek of the Ponca Nation joins Nate to recount her decades of work in Indigenous and environmental activism. Her stories shed light on the often-overlooked struggles and tragedies faced by Indigenous communities in their efforts to restore and safeguard their homelands. Casey also shares her current work advocating for The Rights of Nature - which legalizes the same rights of personhood to Earth's ecosystems - of which the Ponca Nation was the first tribe in the US to implement.  How is the treatment of Indigenous people under the United States government reflective of the exploitative relationship between industrial systems and the Earth? What is ‘Post-Traumatic Growth' and how could it assist in healing the deeper cultural wounds obstructing genuine dialogue and change? Could aligning our current laws with the laws of nature - followed by every other species - result in a more sustainable, interconnected, and thriving humanity?    About Casey Camp-Horinek: Casey Camp-Horinek, Councilwoman and Hereditary Drumkeeper of the Women's Scalp Dance Society of the Ponca Nation of Oklahoma, is a longtime activist, environmentalist, actress, and published author. First taking up the cause of Native and Human Rights in the early '70s, it has been in the last 15 years that she began her plea for Environmental Justice for her Ponca people and people around the globe. Casey has identified and diligently worked to remediate the corridor of toxic industry surrounding the historic lands of the Ponca people. Because of Casey's work, the Ponca Nation is the first Tribe in the State of Oklahoma to adopt the Rights of Nature Statute, and to pass a moratorium on fracking on Tribal Lands. Casey was also instrumental in the drafting and adoption of the first ever International Indigenous Women's Treaty protecting the Rights of Nature. Casey is a board member for Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, Movement Rights, as well as Earthworks.

Drawing on comparative analysis, firsthand Indigenous accounts, extensive historical writings, and his own experience, Omaha Tribal member, Cherokee citizen, and teacher Taylor Keen presents a comprehensive re-imagining of the ancient and more recent history of this continent's oldest cultures. Keen reveals shared oral traditions across much of North America, including among the Algonquin, Athabascan, Sioux, Omaha, Ponca, Osage, Quapaw, and Kaw tribes. He explores the history of Cahokia, the Mississippian Mound Builder Empire of 1050–1300 CE. And he examines ancient earthen works and ceremonial sites of Turtle Island, revealing the Indigenous cosmology, sacred mathematics, and archaeoastronomy encoded in these places that artfully blend the movements of the sun, moon, and stars into the physical landscape.Challenging the mainstream historical consensus, Keen presents an Indigenous revisionist history regarding Thomas Jefferson, expansionist doctrine, and Manifest Destiny. He reveals how, despite being displaced as the United States colonized westward, the Native peoples maintained their vision of an intrinsically shared humanity and the environmental responsibility found at the core of Indigenous mythology.Building off a deep personal connection to the history and mythology of the First Peoples of the Americas, Taylor Keen gives renewed voice to the cultures of Turtle Island, revealing an alternative vision of the significance of our past and future presence here.Taylor Keen is a senior lecturer in the Heider College of Business Administration at Creighton University. He holds a bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College and two master's degrees from Harvard University, where he has served as a Fellow in the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development.

You're listening to the daily decrypt. All right. Let's talk about return to office or RTO. If you work in tech. Specifically cybersecurity. You've probably been impacted by this since the Dawn of COVID. Or at least know somebody who's been impacted by this. I personally work on a team of developers who were all hired remotely. With no expectation set that they'll have to return to the office and. They're all pretty peeved because now they're having to return to the office and we're losing good talent. And the team's morale is just a little lower. Because it's one thing to be hired with the expectation of moving to an office, which is actually how I was hired. And I did move closer to an office. But it's another thing. To be hired with the expectation of never having to, and then having to. So a recent study conducted by researchers from the university of Chicago and the university of Michigan revealed that returned to office mandates at tech giants, like apple, Microsoft, and SpaceX have led to a significant Exodus of senior level employees. And this study did pose a thought that I had never really considered as to why senior level. Employees would be leaving specifically ones in management. And that's because they prefer not to manage teams that are inherently unhappy about policies at their. Company. So if their whole team is upset about returning to office, That's going to directly impact their job satisfaction because there's nothing they can do. They can't change company policy. They can just. Make sure their leaders are aware that their teams are upset and hope that they changed their mind on returned to office. Which. Hasn't really happened yet. So this study analyzed resume data from people, data labs matching 260 million resumes to company data. Highlighting the negative effects of return to office mandates on employee retention and. Senior talent. Following Apple's implementation of a hybrid return to office approach. The percentage of senior level employees decreased by five percentage points. While Microsoft experienced a similar decline. And even worse, the space X requires full-time office presence. And they saw a substantial 15% drop in senior level employees. So I don't have to explain. What it means to lose 15% of your senior employees. Um, but I can elaborate that it's probably not the 15% you want to lose because the ones you lose are the ones that are good enough to get jobs elsewhere. So there's gotta be some sort of balance. There's gotta be some sort of give and take, um, Remote work. Works for some people and it doesn't work for others. Like there is no hard and fast way. To improve productivity amongst your team members. But senior executives don't like that. They like black and white. They like policy. So how can we find a middle ground? I understand that. Working close to your peers can build comradery. Enhance collaboration. All of that stuff, but the more I study of leadership, I think it's because it's actually easier to lead when your employees can see you. It. Is really hard to lead through a computer screen and that's a lot of work and maybe senior executives don't want to put in the work to figure out ways. To connect with their employees. Through a computer screen. So they're just going to make them come into work. Hey, spoiler alert. That's not a good reason. Do the work connect with your employees?. Also included in this study. Is the contrary, right? That. Hybrid work model can actually enhance mental health and employee morale, which makes sense. I've been working remote for three years now. And I'm about at the point where I'd like to go into the office every once in a while and see my teammates. Um, but being forced to do anything just is a bad move. And it doesn't feel good, even if I really wanted to go into the office. If I was being forced to go in on Monday, Wednesday to Thursday, whatever. I wouldn't like it. So if you're a senior leader out there and you have. A platform to stand on. I highly encourage you to talk to your employees and figure out what works for them and why, and maybe you can. Have some exceptions. And be a little looser with your standards there. Apple has back ported the patch for CVE 20 24, 23. 29 6 to the iOS 16 branch enhancing security against potential brute force attacks. So this vulnerability is called the RTK. Kit zero-day vulnerability. And it's been patched in multiple apple products, but it's backporting to iOS 16.7 0.8 and iPad iOS 16 point 78. For added protection, which essentially means that a patch that was developed for this new iOS. Has been also applied to a previous generation of operating systems for your tablets and phones. So, for example, if your iPad doesn't quite support iOS 17, you can still get this security feature. So it must be pretty bad. If you, if that does apply to you. You're probably pretty hesitant about installing updates because you're on the end of life of your device. It might not be able to handle the next update and you want to keep using it. But I highly encourage you to go download this update and install it. Because this is a pretty serious security risk. There's also been a bug in marketplace kit that has been fixed by apple, which can prevent maliciously crafted webpages from distributing scripts to track iOS users on other sites. And the coolest security feature that was just released by apple. In iOS 17 is a feature that alerts users, when an unknown Bluetooth tracker is detected, moving with them. This will enhance privacy insecurity. Um, now as someone who has been stocked, it is very scary. It sounds kind of mundane when you hear about it, but, you know, it's. It really haunts you a lot and it makes you look at your privacy a lot differently. And this is particularly. Prevalent. Amongst women like. Bluetooth trackers slipped into their purses at bars. So that. They're suitors we'll know exactly where they live, where they're moving and we'll allow them to stock their prey. It's just very scary. And there's no way of knowing if that's happened to you until you go through your purse and. With the amount of purses that women can have. It's not a frequent occurrence to go through them. So this is a great feature. Um, Highly encourage you to download this patch and enable that feature regardless of your lifestyle or situation. It's just good to know if someone's trying to track you, it can happen to anybody. And finally Google has released emergency patches to address a new zero day vulnerability CVE 20 24 4 7 6 1. In the Chrome web browser being actively exploited in the wild. The vulnerability affects the VA JavaScript and WebAssembly engine posing a risk of out of bounds, right attacks that could lead to data, corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution on compromised systems. There is an exploit for this, that exists in the wild, which means. Anyone who's taking the security plus can use this. Which is why Google took such swift action. But further details about the specific attacks that leverage this vulnerability and exploited have not been disclosed. In order to prevent further exploitation from threat actors, but, you know, A crafty threat actor can go find it. Mutter, putter. Loaded up Metis boy, whatever. Get it going. So this latest zero day disclosure follows closely on the heels of Google patching CVE 20 24 4 6 7 1 8 use after free vulnerability in the visuals component, that was also actively exploited. In 2024 alone, Google has addressed a total of six zero day vulnerabilities with three of them showcased at the Ponca own hacking contest in March. To safeguard against potential threats. Users are strongly advised to update to the most recent version of Chrome. As soon as possible. So if you're getting that relaunch to update. Button in the top. Right. Which I have seen. On about everyone's browser at work. Go ahead and press that update button. You know, your tabs are gonna save. They're gonna relaunch. It'll take about a second, just press it and get into the habit of pressing it whenever you see it. Users of other chromium based browsers, like edge brave opera and Vivaldi should also apply the necessary patches. When they become available to enhance their cybersecurity posture.

I took the Art Dealer Diaries on a little road trip this week to northeastern Oklahoma, in the heart of Osage Country, to get an inside look at this blockbuster movie by Martin Scorsese called Killers of the Flower Moon. The book was by David Grann and the story is a tragic one for the Osage people. The Osage call it the reign of terror. It took place from 1921 to 1926, and at least 25 Osage were murdered by this cadre of white opportunists trying to cash in on the oil boom, which was partly taking place in the Osage Nation. The Osage themselves owned the mineral rights, and those allotments were handed out to the members. We were very fortunate to speak to an Osage woman who grew up in the area, Billie Ponca, and we had a discussion at Water Bird Gallery.  She spoke about what it's like to be an Osage woman today and about the real-life events that inspired the film, which she was part of. Her home was one of the backdrops in the movie and she was asked to be an extra in some of the scenes as well.Billie liked the movie. She saw it in Tulsa when they had a special opening, not only for the Osage people, but the stars showed up for this screening as well, which was a big deal and something that usually doesn't happen. It was very interesting to get her take on what it's like to live in a house in Fairfax now, the movie, and the process of how the movie was created. It was delightful she was delightful. Hopefully, this podcast will add this additional layer of depth when you see the movie and help communicate the story and theme from a Native perspective.

The Deer Woman is described as a normal young woman, except her feet which are shaped like deer hooves and her brown deer's eyes. Men who are lured into her presence often notice too late that she is not a natural woman and are then stomped to death. Other stories and traditions describe the sighting of Deer Woman to be a sign of personal transformation or a warning.

Richard J. Lonsinger is a member of the Ponca tribe of Oklahoma, who was adopted at a young age into a white family of three. He eventually reconnected with his birth family, but when his birth mother passed away in 2010, he wasn't included in the distribution of her estate. Feeling both hurt and excluded, he asked a judge to re-open her estate, to give him a part of one particular asset: an Osage headright.An Osage headright is a share of profits from resources like oil, gas, and coal that have been extracted from the Osage Nation's land. These payments can be sizeable - thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a year. Historically, they were even larger – in the 1920s the Osage were some of the wealthiest people in the world. But that wealth also made them a target and subject to paternalistic and predatory laws. Over the previous century, hundreds of millions of dollars in oil money have been taken from the Osage people.On today's show: the story of how Richard Lonsinger gradually came to learn this history, and how he made his peace with his part of a complicated inheritance.

On August 1, 1982, an automobile/train collision killed three teenaged motocross riders in Ponca City, Oklahoma . Forty years later, memories of that white hot afternoon still haunt those who were there. Six years ago I received a message that said, “I wish someone would write about the boys who were killed at Ponca in 1982.” I had no idea what he was talking about. But I knew I had to pursue it.

Helen Hunt Jackson - Poet turned Activist & Andrea's Birthday Episode

 It is my birthday week so today I am talking about my new favorite queen, the American poet and writer who became an activist demanding better treatment of Native Americans from the United States government. Her name was Helen Hunt Jackson, and I will share some of her poetry throughout the story.    We will start the story with Deborah & Nathan Fiske, in Amherst, Massachusetts. The couple both suffered from chronic illness through their lives. Nathan was a Unitarian minister, author, and professor of Latin, Greek, and philosophy at Amherst College. Unitarians did not believe in the concepts of sin and of eternal punishment for sins. Appealing to reason, not to emotion. They believed that God is one person. They did not believe in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, the God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  Their daughter, Helen Maria Fiske, was born on October 15 of 1830. Deborah encouraged Helen to have a cheerful disposition and Helen was smart and she worked hard to live up to her father's expectations. As a result of their parent's disabilities, Helen and her younger sister Ann often stayed with relatives.  Deborah died from tuberculosis when Helen was fourteen. A few years later, Nathan Fiske was also suffering from tuberculosis. His doctor advised him to find a new climate to alleviate his symptoms. He arranged for Fiske's education to be paid for and left on his last adventure. He was in Palestine in the summer of her 17th year when her father died of dysentery. He was buried on Mt. Zion.   Helen's maternal grandfather, Deacon David Vinal, assumed financial responsibility for the sisters. Julius A. Palmer, a prominent Boston attorney and state legislature representative, took on the role as their guardian, and the girls moved into his puritan home. Palmer sent Helen to the private schools and while she was away for education, she formed a long lasting friendship with the young Emily Dickinson. After school, Helen moved to Albany, New York. The following year, a Governor's Ball was held in Albany. Helen went, and met Lieutenant Edward Bissell Hunt, who was also in attendance. Hunt graduated from West Point, was an Army Corps of Engineers officer and a civil engineer. The couple married on October 28th of that year. She lived the life of a young army wife, traveling from post to post. Helen said she was almost too happy to trust the future.  A woman's intuition is often right. Helen gave birth to a son the year after the wedding. His name was Murray. Sadly, Murray was born with a disease attacking his brain and he did not live to see his first birthday. She became pregnant soon after and had a second son, Warren, a year after they lost Murray. They nicknamed him "Rennie".  Eight years later, Helen's husband was testing one of his own designs of an early submarine weapon for the military when he fell and suffered a concussion, overcome by gunpowder fumes. It was a devastating loss. The perhaps most profound loss next. Up to this time, her life had been absorbed in domestic and social duties. Her son Warren, her last living family member, soon died due to diphtheria.   When she was young, her mother had encouraged her to expand on her vivid imagination by writing. Helen also suffered from chronic  illness like her parents, and she took inspiration from her mom and started to write poetry, withdrawing from public view to grieve. Two months later, her first poem was published. She emerged months later dressed in all too familiar mourning clothes, but now determined to pursue a literary career.   “And every bird I ever knew Back and forth in the summer flew;  And breezes wafted over me The scent of every flower and tree:  Till I forgot the pain and gloom And silence of my darkened room“   Most of Hunt's early melancholic work grew out of this heavy experience of loss and sorrow. Like her mother, she continued turning negatives into positives in spite of great hardship. She was 36 years old and writing had become her greatest passion. She moved to a lively community of artists and writers in Newport, Rhode Island where she met the women's rights activist,   Unitarian minister, author and abolitionist Thomas Wentworth Higginson. He would become her most important literary mentor.    “Only a night from old to new; Only a sleep from night to morn. The new is but the old come true; Each sunrise sees a new year born.”   After living in Boston for two years, she spent a few years traveling through England, France, Germany, Austria and Italy. She soaked up inspiration and wrote from her writing desk from back home, which she brought with her on all her journeys.  She wrote about popular culture, domestic life, children's literature and travel, using her editorial connections to cover the costs for her cross-country trips. Her career began.  She became well known in the literary world, publishing poetry in many popular magazines and a book, followed by a string of novels. She used the pseudonyms “H.H.”, “Rip van Winkle,” and “Saxe Holm.”   Helen was a good business woman and made connections with editors at the New York Independent, New York Times, Century Magazine, and the New York Daily Tribune. Her circle of friends included publishers and authors including Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who admired and published her poetry. The smart woman used her connections to help her shy and reluctant childhood friend Emily Dickinson get her initial work published. Helen visited California for the first time in 1872. While there, she explored the Missions in Southern California and took an eight day trip to Yosemite. She was enamored with the native populations she met.   “When one thinks in the wilderness, alone, many things become clear.  I have been learning, all these years in the wilderness,  as if I had had a teacher.”   Helen received bad news in 1873. Like her parents, she suffered from chronic health issues throughout her life, and now, like her parents, Helen had tuberculosis. When her mother passed away, tuberculosis management was difficult and often of limited effect but people were now seeking tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs because of its dry climate and fresh mountain air. At the time, one-third of the people living in Colorado Springs had tuberculosis staying in boarding houses, or sanatoriums with hospital-like facilities.  She moved to the small town of Colorado Springs with 3,000 residents and very few amenities and was quickly disappointed. She said, “There stretched before me, to the east, a bleak, bare, desolate plain, rose behind me, to the west, a dark range of mountains, snow-topped, rocky-walled, stern, cruel, relentless. Between them lay the town – small, straight, new, treeless. One might die of such a place alone, but death by disease would be more natural.” She wasn't happy with the challenges of western life at first, but she  stayed cheerful. Helen said her mother's tireless “gift of cheer” was her greatest inheritance. Soon Helen understood and appreciated the beauty of the local scenery. She fell in love with the Pikes Peak region. Her admiration for the natural beauty of the west showed in her work, andher work, boosted tourism to the region. Helen said her mother's tireless “gift of cheer” was her greatest inheritance.    “Today that plain and those mountains are to me well-nigh the fairest spot on earth. Today I say one might almost live in such a place alone!”   William Sharpless Jackson, a trusted business associate of the Founder of Colorado Springs, wealthy banker and railroad executive for the Denver and Rio Grande Railway became fast friends with Helen. They married in 1875. After they wed, Helen took his name and became known in her writing as Helen Hunt Jackson. Helen and William had the most fabulous home in town at the corner of Kiowa and Weber streets. It was a leader in architecture and technology. Inside was one of the first indoor bathrooms in town. William had the exterior of the house remodeled to give Helen a picture-perfect view of Cheyenne Mountain out her window. One of her most popular poems is Cheyenne Mountain. The Jackson's entertained at their home regularly. Helen lavishly filled the rooms with pieces from her travels, reflecting her insatiable curiosity about the world and its people. A lamp hung, attached to a hemp belt embellished with camel hair, Cowrie shells and red and black wool over pottery and an ornately carved Shell Dish, created by Haida craftsmen from the Pacific Coast. There were also many pictures of her loved ones, including her beloved son Rennie that sat on bookshelves next to her purse, made from the inner ear of a whale. The shelves were full of fiction, poetry, natural sciences, travel guides, and books on spiritualism and the afterlife. On the back of a chair, an unfinished Navajo Chief's Blanket produced in 1870, featuring diamonds woven atop an alternating background of stripes, cut from the loom and made into a saddle blanket.  There were native woven baskets from a Yokut tribe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Heavily carved, unpainted wooden Spanish Stirrups, tear-drop shaped with cone and leaf designs, illuminated from the soft glow behind Asian decorative brass lighting fixtures made from incense burners.    “Dead men tell no tales," says the proverb.  One wishes they could.  We should miss some spicy contributions to magazine and newspaper literature; and a sudden silence would fall upon some loud-mouthed living.”   Helen traveled to Boston in 1879, attending a lecture by Chief Standing Bear about the creation of the Great Sioux Reservation. During the lecture, Standing Bear described the forced removal of the Ponca from their reservation in Nebraska, and transfer to a Reservation in Indian Territory, in present-day Oklahoma. They suffered from disease, harsh climate, and poor supplies. Upset about the mistreatment of Native Americans by government agents, she became an activist on an all-consuming mission on behalf of the Native Americans.  For several years, she investigated, raised money, circulated petitions, and documented the corruption of the agents, military officers and settlers who encroached on the land.  She publicized government misconduct in letters to The New York Times about the United States Government's response to the Sand Creek and Meeker Massacres. She wrote on behalf of the Ponca and publicly battled William Byers of the Rocky Mountain News and Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz,whom she once called "the most adroit liar I ever knew." The locals in Colorado Springs were not always keen on Helen's fiercely independent nature, or her fiery advocacy for Native rights at the time. In 1881, Jackson condemned state and federal Indian policies and recounted a history of broken treaties in her book, A Century of Dishonor. The book called for significant reform in government policy towards the Native Americans. Jackson sent a copy to every member of Congress with a quote from Benjamin Franklin printed in red on the cover: "Look upon your hands: they are stained with the blood of your relations." Helen needed rest after some years of advocacy, let's not forget she had a chronic illness. So she spent a significant amount of time among the Mission Indians in Southern California.  Don Antonio Coronel, former mayor of the city, had served as inspector of missions for the Mexican government. He was a well-known early local historian and taught Helen about the history and mistreatment of the tribes brought to the Missions. In 1852, an estimated 15,000 Mission Indians lived in Southern California. By the time of Jackson's visit, they numbered fewer than 4,000.   “The wild mustard in Southern California  is like that spoken of in the New Testament.  Its gold is as distinct a value to the eye  as the nugget of gold in the pocket.”     When the U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Hiram Price recommended her to be appointed as an Interior Department agent; she was named Special Commissioner of Indian Affairs in Southern California. She would document the location and condition of various bands, and determine what lands, if any, should be purchased for their use. At one point, she hired a law firm and fought to protect the rights of a native family facing dispossession from their land at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains. In 1883, Jackson completed a 56-page report on the Conditions and Needs of the Mission Indians. In the report, she recommended extensive government relief for the Mission Indians, including the purchase of new lands for reservations and the establishment of more Indian schools. The report was well received and legislation was drawn up based on her findings. The bill passed the U.S. Senate but died in the House of Representatives. She knew she needed a wider audience and decided to write about it for the masses. She said, "I am going to write a novel, which will set forth some Indian experiences in a way to move people's hearts. People will read a novel when they will not read serious books. If I could write a story that would do for the Indian one-hundredth part what Uncle Tom's Cabin did for the person of color, I would be thankful for the rest of my life."  With an outline she started in California, Helen began writing in December 1883 while sick with stomach cancer in her New York hotel room and completed it in three months. She cared enough to undermine her health to better their lives. In 1884, Helen published Ramona. The book achieved rapid success and aroused public sentiment. In the novel, Ramona is a half native and half Scots orphan in Spanish Californio society. The romantic story coincided with the arrival of railroad lines in the region, inspiring countless tourists to want to see the places described in the novel.  Historian Antoinette May argued that the popularity of the novel contributed to Congress passing the Dawes Act in 1887. This was the first American law to address Indian land rights and it forced the breakup of communal lands and redistribution to individual households, with sales of what the government said was "surplus land".  When few other white Americans would do so, she stood up for this cause and brought the topic to light. She wanted to write a children's story about Indian issues, but her health would not allow it. Helen was dying. The last letter she wrote was to President Grover Cleveland. “From my deathbed I send you a message of heartfelt thanks for what you have already done for the Indians. I ask you to read my Century of Dishonor. I am dying happier for the belief I have that it is your hand that is destined to strike the first steady blow toward lifting this burden of infamy from our country and righting the wrongs of the Indian race.”  Cancer took Helen Hunt Jackson's life on August 12, 1885 in San Francisco.   I shall be found with 'Indians'  engraved on my brain when I am dead.  A fire has been kindled within me, which will never go out.   Her husband arranged for her burial near seven cascading waterfalls on a one-acre plot at Inspiration Point, overlooking Colorado Springs. Her remains were later moved to Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs.  One year after her death, the North American Review called Ramona "unquestionably the best novel yet produced by an American woman" and named it one of two of the most ethical novels of the 19th century, along with Uncle Tom's Cabin.  Helen believed her niece would be a good bride for her husband after she passed, indicating this to William in a letter from her deathbed. After Helen died, William Sharpless Jackson remarried to Helen's niece and namesake. Together William and Helen's niece Helen had seven children in the house in Colorado Springs.   Darling,' he said, 'I never meant To hurt you; and his eyes were wet. 'I would not hurt you for the world: Am I to blame if I forget?' 'Forgive my selfish tears!' she cried, 'Forgive! I knew that it was not  Because you meant to hurt me, sweet- I knew it was that you forgot!' But all the same, deep in her heart, Rankled this thought, and rankles yet 'When love is at its best, one loves So much that he cannot forget   The family took an active role in preserving the legacy of Helen Hunt Jackson's life, literature and advocacy work. Several rooms from the home  furnished with her possessions are preserved in the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. The Helen Hunt Jackson Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ramona High School in Riverside, California and Ramona Elementary in Hemet, California are both named after her. She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1985. Helen Hunt Falls, in North Cheyenne Cañon Park in Colorado Springs, was named in her memory. Visitors can enjoy the view from the base of the falls or take a short walk to the top and admire the view from the bridge across the falls.    When Time is spent, Eternity begins.   Sources: https://www.cspm.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Helen-Hunt-Jackson-Exhbit-Text.pdf https://somethingrhymed.com/2014/05/01/emily-dickinson-and-helen-hunt-jackson/
