Podcasts about principal chief

PART 3 They were the Comanche, or Numunuh—meaning "The People"— and they were the undisputed "Lords of the Plains," fiercely guarding their vast homeland across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. Masters of horseback warfare, they resisted westward expansion as the U.S. government pushed settlers into their territory. In an 1836 raid on Fort Parker, nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker was taken captive. She embraced Comanche life, later marrying Chief Peta Nocona. And their son, Quanah Parker, became a legendary leader. As the U.S. broke the Treaty of Medicine Lodge, Quanah led his people in the Red River War, the last major conflict between the southern Plains tribes and the U.S. military. Realizing continued resistance meant destruction, he surrendered at Fort Sill in 1875 to secure his people's survival. Straddling two worlds, Quanah worked to bridge the divide between Native and white societies. Though never elected chief, he was appointed the Comanche Nation's Principal Chief. To his family, he was a beloved grandfather who championed education and Comanche traditions. To history, he remains the "Last Chief of the Comanche." In parts 1 and 2 of this series, I spoke with one of Quanah Parker's descendants, Jody Parker. Now in part 3, you'll hear directly from Quanah's great grandchildren: Jacquetta Parker Ardith Parker-Leming LaNora Parke Sandra Chesnut Don Allen Parker Jody Colbert The family shares insights on: - Quanah's influence on the importance of education and always showing up dressed to impress - His vision for a school and church for his people - What Quanah was like as a master horseman and a great warrior - The significance of Comanche oral history and that much of their knowledge came from both their elders and the Mennonite missionaries Quanah worked with - Did Quanah really tell a missionary she was "ugly"? You may be surprised by the answer! Finally, the elders share a heartfelt reflection on how Quanah bridged two worlds—the world of his people and of those who had taken over. Unfortunately, when I recorded this 2 years ago, my sound and video were messed up. So thank you for your patience, as it has been cleaned up as best as possible.

Ross Swimmer's Native American heritage and work in real estate law intersected when he performed pro bono work for the Cherokee Nation Housing Authority, and he later became in-house counsel for the Cherokee Nation. Ross began working for the Nation in an official capacity in 1972 and became Principal Chief in 1975.He remained Principal Chief until 1983, when he left at the request of President Ronald Reagan to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Interior-Indian Affairs. Swimmer was instrumental in helping western tribes secure water rights and providing funds for projects that allowed tribes to use that water for agricultural and business projects on reservations.Swimmer served as president of Cherokee Nation Industries, Inc. before being asked by President George W. Bush and Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton to return to Washington as the director of Indian Trust Transition at the Department of the Interior. In 2003 President Bush nominated Swimmer to become the Special Trustee for American Indians, an appointment requiring senate approval.Now you can hear Ross tell his interesting story on the podcast and website VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgMardi Najafi  is the Principal, Chief Creative Officer, and Retail & Hospitality Practice Lead at SDI Design.We discuss his life of growing up the son of an Iranian diplomat, a professional path through the fashion, exhibit design and retail industries and how teaching is about giving back to young designers in their fledgling careers…We'll get to all of that in a moment but first, a few thoughts…             *                         *                         *There are interviews that I have done over the past 73 episodes that have been specifically about a person's work, There have been those that have been about a brand or product category, Or the study of neuroscience and its role in experience making,  We've delved into art and creativity, leadership, climate issues, and many other subjects.And there are other interviews that I have done that focused in on a person's career path, how their experiences brought them to where they are today. In these cases, I often find that my guest and I identify how serendipity stepped in front of them as they careened through a career, how taking the road less traveled lead them to creative professional journeys that were unexpected, and how a shift in their mindset resulted in profoundly rewarding roles at companies or with personal and professional relationships. I love discussions about serendipity – how our life paths seem to be guided by novel circumstances that were unforeseen, yet when confronted with them, we found a moment to step aside from our pre-determined story, one that we might have created with specific objectives, a place to be at some future moment, and in the midst of new circumstances, a choice was to be made about what the next move would be without really knowing where it would lead.There seems to be some magic in this process – a sense of wonder that keeps the creative spirit alive. There is also a good dose of courage needed at the nexus of ‘now and next, when a calling summons new thinking and a re-evaluation of our pre-suppositions about how things are supposed to be now, or in the future, need re-evaluation.I think it is often the case with creative paths or projects.To start out knowing where you are going would suggest that you have you have already been. To start out with the end in mind creates a path of production, of doing, rather than one of seminal discoveries along the way.There is something in the unknowing that I believe maintains the creative path as an adventure, one where in the doing of the thing we are continuously discovering rather than just in production mode.In the discovering, we remain engaged, learning, exploring and the path is laid out as we move along it. However… being in a place of unknowing, can be fear inducing since I think we so often like the assuredness of the pre-determined and predicable.I have found this particularly true in teaching at universities in design fields. Students don't like the unpredictable so much. Many prefer the determinism of knowing where their projects will eventually end up. But I think in taking this approach we short circuit the opportunity to discover something new – something we could not have predicted but when discovered, results in a sense of awe that shifts our perspective and maybe our purpose. And I think it takes courage to follow a set of rules about designing something, call it strategy, and let the rules of the strategy guide the process. As we pursue the path of the work the rules help to guide decisions that make the next step self-evident. Then the next, and the next and so on, until a conclusion to the process meets the requirements of the design brief.Assuming the strategy is well founded, you can rely on the rules to guide the process and decision-making. Along the design path, all decisions can be cross-referenced against the strategy and the outcomes that don't align with the determined set of rules can be set aside in a preference for the ones that best exemplify them.Then there is the emergence of circumstances that throw you a curve ball – conditions shift within which you have little control – and your path necessarily changes. The resilience and the flexible mindset that is required in these moments are factors that influence your ability to adjust – to find yourself in a place of positive transformation or maybe to simply survive.I have found that the key to positive transformation is to keep saying yes to serendipity. To loosen the rigidity in my mindset and welcome the unexpected. It can be a struggle because I have generally been geared to knowing where I'm going. I don't mind saying that I have long preferred the predictable over the mercurial. It is at times not easy, but these moments of re-alignment with new realities can be the success factor supporting our determination to keep going and to leverage the “new” for the purpose of re-making ourselves. I think that in this, there is a sense of agency. I think that we are, in fact, in little control of anything but for our own reactions to adversity or the everchanging circumstances of life.Perhaps this is the proverbial ‘making lemonade out of lemons.' When life gives you lemons… you know… make lemonade.And this is where the life path of my guest in this episode comes in. Mardi Najafi has had a colorful host of experiences influencing his professional path.Having grown up the son of an Iranian Diplomat, he was schooled in multiple countries including Iran, France and Russia. He was conscripted into Iranian military service and made a friend with whom he, after his release from service, created a business bringing watches into Iran. That adventure eventually allowed him to earn enough money to buy his father's release from prison and ironically lead to a career in design.After a building a successful professional track record working in Europe, he landed in Canada where he fostered his interest in retail design. In 2023, Mardi was honored as the first Canadian inductee into the Retail Design Institute's prestigious Legion of Honor, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the retail design field. He is also currently serving as the President of the Retail Design Institute Canada, where he continues to shape industry standards and advocate for the advancement of design excellence.Mardi Najafi is an award-winning, multidisciplinary designer with over 30 years of experience at the forefront of the design world.

Wilma Mankiller was the first woman to be elected as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. We explore Wilma's early life and the challenges she faced growing up in a rural, economically disadvantaged area. Her family's relocation to San Francisco as part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' relocation program profoundly impacted her understanding of urban Native American struggles. A turning point in her life came when she became involved in the Alcatraz Occupation, igniting her passion for activism and community service. Her journey back to Oklahoma saw her immerse herself in Cherokee culture and governance, ultimately leading to her groundbreaking election as Principal Chief in 1985. During her tenure, Wilma implemented transformative programs focusing on health, education, and economic development for the Cherokee Nation. Her enduring legacy and the impact of her work continue to influence future generations of Indigenous leaders.

Die Cherokee sind heute eine der größten indigenen Nationen innerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Ihre Geschichte geht dabei aber weit über die Zeit der Kolonisierung durch England zurück. Schon vor dem ersten Kontakt mit Europäer:innen galten die Cherokee als einer der mächtigsten Stämme Nordamerikas und sie dominierten weite Teile des Ostens dieses Kontinents. Ihr späterer Kontakt zu den europäischen Neuankömmlingen gestaltete sich dann allerdings – wie bei allen Nationen der Indianer – bald als schwierig. Von Beginn an versuchten die Cherokee, sich mit den Kolonien zu arrangieren. Sie kämpften auf Seite Großbritanniens im Siebenjährigen Krieg und im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg. Nach der Gründung der USA versuchten sie sich wiederum, mit diesen zu einigen – alles nur, um ihr Land und ihre Unabhängigkeit zu bewahren.Melde dich hier für den Newsletter an und erfahre hier mehr über den Déjà-vu Club.An der Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert passte sich die Cherokee Nation dann auch in ihrer Struktur an die der USA an. Sie gründete ein Parlament, wählte einen Präsidenten – oder Principal Chief – erbaute mit New Echota eine neue Hauptstadt und mit Sequoyah sogar eine Schrift für die Cherokee-Sprache Tsalagi. Als Dank und Anerkennung unterzeichnete US-Präsident Andrew Jackson kurzerhand den "Indian Removal Act" und machte bald Vorbereitungen für die gewaltsame Vertreibung der Cherokee nach Westen. Als Trail of Tears würde sie traurige Berühmtheit erlangen. Ein erster Blick in die Geschichte der Cherokee.Déjà-vu Geschichte ist Mitglied des Netzwerks #Historytelling.

"We are in professional services. We're going to treat people like adults and with that is individual responsibility with freedom”, says Janine “It's giving them the ability to do what they do best without all the other stuff that gets in the way. It's refreshing, it attracts people.”Janine charts her career journey from HR Administrator and the different view of HR at HNI that led her to joining the business as Director of People in 2014. Janine gives insight in to HNI becoming an agency partner of Acrisure and the HR advisory services she now offers clients across a broad spectrum of industries. “Not only do I do HR for the employees, but I get to do advisory for our clients. I love being able to come in as that neutral party and just hear the facts and help them work through that.”She discusses HNI's lofty goals, aiming for double digit growth and their approach to unlimited PTO.
