Since May 8, 1792, European colonists have called the large volcano just off the coast of Puget Sound "Mount Rainier." It was given that name by a British explorer, Captain George Vancouver – a gift to his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. But prior to Vancouver’s arrival in what eventually became Washington state, the Indigenous peoples in and around the Salish Sea called it by many names. A recent linguistic paper from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians traced those many names for the mountain – where they came from, and what they mean.

UW Tacoma Associate Professor Danica Miller and UW Tacoma Assistant Professor Sara Eccleston are both members of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. UW Tacoma is situated on the ancestral homeland of the Puyallup. In this episode, Miller and Eccleston talk about the role of education in their lives. For both women, education didn't just happened in the classroom, it also happened in their community. The pair also discuss the challenges they've faced as Indigenous women in higher education. Finally, Miller and Eccleston talk about what colleges and universities need to do to attract and retain Native and Indigenous students.
A New ‘Indigenous Cannabis Association' Aims To Unite America's Tribes Around Cannabis So what happened?Many of the 574 federally recognized American Indian tribes are re-recognizing the plant's medicinal healing powers. 21 of the state's 27 tribes have a cannabis compact with the governor. Some tribes are only cultivating, some have fully integrated dispensaries. Some tribes just have farmers, some, retail storefronts. Personally, I'm hoping they make some blunts! SignificanceTribes are sovereign nations, meaning that their surrounding states' cannabis policies don't apply. So, even in remote rural areas, tribal-owned smoke shops can do quite well, selling to tribal members and outsiders alike and having to comply only with compacts made with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state authorities. ImpactThen there is the social good such revenues can do: In Washington State, the Puyallup Tribe are putting revenues into clinical cannabis medical research, partnering with academic institutions, as well as building housing for the tribe's homeless and addressing their local opioid crisis.

Puyallup Tribe member Leona Sharon Kinsey went missing on October 25, 1999 from La Grande, Oregon and still has not been found. Leona's daughter Carolyn still holds out hope, but she is frustrated by lack of law enforcement action on her mother's case. "John," aka Juan Pena-Llamas, likely the last person to see Leona before she disappeared, was deported to Mexico in 2006 and authorities have been unable to find or speak to him about Leona's disappearance.

Today on the Thriving Farmer Podcast, we are hosting Micha Ide, Founder of Bright Ide Acres, located in Orting, Washington. Micha and her husband, Andrew, are a couple of California transplants who fell in love with farming in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Welcome to the Re-Weav podcast with Mitchele Anderson. Where we discuss what it means to weave unity in God's community, sharing resources and stories to guide us on this journey. My name is Mitchele & I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to this special Thanksgiving bonus 2-part mini series. November is Native American Heritage Month. As Thanksgiving approached, I couldn't stop thinking about the real founders of this land. Native Americans were the first here, yet I feel like they are the most underrepresented people group in America. That being said: This 2 part mini series is focusing on the Native American Perspective. Today's conversation is with Jamie Sportsman. Jamie is an enrolled member of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. She works for her tribe, Puyallup, working in case management in the Housing Department. She and I discuss her childhood, the blessings that come with being a part of a blended family, women in leadership and what it looks like to have Christ as the common denominator in all of our relationships. I am so grateful for this conversation with Jamie. I know that Jamie's honest and grace filled approach will leave you feeling encouraged. Be sure to subscribe, so you don't miss the second part of this series. It will be out tomorrow, so you can tune in while you scour the internet for Black Friday Deals. Before we get into today's conversation, I want to share a quote from my friend, Nikki Pitre's daughter, Adela. Nikki & Adela are the focus of a new kids book from Lovevery. In which Lovevery follows them back home to the Coeur d'Alene reservation in northern Idaho. Adela says, "I'm going home. I am Native American from the Coeur d' Alene Tribe. Native American means that my family has been here for a really, really, really long time—longer than anyone else." Yes hunny, you are right! Longer than anyone else!! I just love the knowledge and pride Adela has about her heritage. I love that Lovevery is amplifying the voice of greatly underrepresented people groups. I already loved their toys, but this new book gives me a renewed respect for this company.

The Puyallup Tribe intends to sue Electron Hydro and its backers over violations of the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. The tribe’s 60-day notice, filed in federal court, comes after a whistleblower working at the Pierce County dam site this summer revealed that the company was using artificial turf in the Puyallup River.
Carolyn's mother has been missing for 21 years. This experience and the support of her community has led her to being a powerful advocate for MMIW and MMIP families. She is currently the Project coordinator for Puyallup Tribe's Human Traffickiing Project and the founder of Missing and Murdered Native Americans on Facebook.
A deep red modern span stretches over Pacific Highway on the bridge that links Tacoma to Fife, carrying a steady stream of cars and trucks over the Puyallup River. The bridge and an older portion of it nearby were recently renamed by the City of Tacoma in collaboration with the Puyallup Tribe. It’s now called the Fishing Wars Memorial Bridge and in Twulshootseed, yabuk’wali , meaning “place of a fight.” Fifty years ago today, members of the Puyallup Tribe faced off here with local law enforcement.
A hydroelectric dam that was built on the Puyallup River in 1903 has long been controversial for the Puyallup Tribe. It was to be replaced this summer, and improvements added to help with fish recovery. That work is now on hold, after the company was caught trying to line the riverbed with old AstroTurf.

If not being able to read was a disease, it would be an epidemic. Millions of Americans can’t read but illiteracy often goes unacknowledged or unnoticed. If you are the parent or teacher of a child who struggles with reading, you know the painful way that illiteracy steals their confidence and robs them of the joy that comes from learning. William Manzanares IV – a member of the Puyallup Tribe in Washington state – wrote I Can’t Read: A Guide to Success Through Failure (2019) to give the literacy conversation a much-needed jumpstart. William, who grew up unable to read and later learned he had dyslexia, overcame these obstacles and transformed himself into a successful serial entrepreneur. In this inspirational story, William shares strategic superpowers that worked for him in the hopes it will improve literacy for those who can’t read. The book includes personal anecdotes to inspire kids everywhere – especially young Native Americans – to pursue their dreams.He is a serial entrepreneur, having owned and operated successful businesses since 2005.William is passionate about helping small business owners as well as struggling readers.

The Lushootseed Language Institute (LLI) is a collaboration between the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and UW Tacoma's Professional Development Center. The LLI is one part of the Puyallup Tribe's larger effort to revitalize Lushootseed. Up until the early 1800s, Lushootseed was the only language spoken by indigenous peoples living in an area from present day Olympia in the south to Skagit Valley in the north. The Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains provided the eastern and western borders. In this episode we hand over the microphone to UW Tacoma student and Puyallup Tribe member Shelby Cross as she works her way through the LLI. We'll hear her struggles and successes as well as her personal reasons for wanting to learn Lushootseed.
WILLIAM MANZANARES – I CAN'T READ If not being able to read was a disease, it would be an epidemic. Millions of Americans can't read but illiteracy often goes unacknowledged or unnoticed. If you are the parent or teacher of a child who struggles with reading, you know the painful way that illiteracy steals their confidence and robs them of the joy that comes from learning. William Manzanares IV - a member of the Puyallup Tribe in Washington state - wrote I Can't Read to give the literacy conversation a much-needed jumpstart. William, who grew up unable to read and later learned he had dyslexia, overcame these obstacles and transformed himself into a successful serial entrepreneur. In this inspirational story, William shares strategic superpowers that worked for him in the hopes it will improve literacy for those who can't read. The book includes personal anecdotes to inspire kids everywhere - especially young Native Americans - to pursue their dreams. The situation you are in in just the situation you are in in this moment. It is not who you are. It is amazing how little time it takes to connect when we let down our guard and connect. From the time I was a kid, I had a self-awareness of where my parents were at financially, and even though I had no idea what an entrepreneur was, I always knew I wanted to go into business. I loved history and saw the stories of people coming here with nothing build a life for themselves and succeed. What scared William the most was public reading. So he compensated by trying to memorize words and practice ahead of the reading by counting patterns ahead of his reading to only learn the passages he needed to read. Every single one of us has a place where we do not feel good enough. William courageous speaks about his feeling of not being good enough, that he couldn't do what others could do and the feelings he felt and continues to feel. How at home, he tried to counter the feelings of being stupid at school by finding a way to make a business at home. Anything that had to do with business he was able to make it happen. Advanced Spacial Awareness- the ability to picture 3D images and remember exactly where you were and what it looked like. Many people who have dyslexia also have the ability to have Advanced Spacial Awareness. Hear the first time I ever put together how my wife never gets lost. What we think of as our short comings, are some of the greatest gifts we have been given. So many of the most successful people in the world are dyslexic because so many of the have other abilities that the other 4 out of 5 people in the world cannot do. Plus many, many more points that come through this discussion on the feeling of not being good enough and that point where we realize that we are not less than others , we just have different talents.

He talked a big game of how he was publicized everywhere and I said … ‘Okay, let’s do this’ … He did say after signing … checks that were written out in the contract, I’ll just pay you big chunk payments. So I got like a $5,000 payment, then a $10,000 payment … that took about six months to get those and then when a final payment bounced and I think he tried to write me another $15,000 check, it just didn’t go through. This was like six or seven months after I gave him the money and I went: ‘Oh, what did I do?

Worst investment ever Meets publisher selling Super Bowl tickets Will met the publisher of a local weekly newspaper who was also the PR representative for his native American tribe in Tacoma because he said he could get all kinds of tickets and Will wanted to take his daughter to see the Seattle Seahawks American football team play in the Super Bowl for the second time in its history. The guy was always around talking about his connections and that he always knew someone who could get show tickets to anything. Will let his guard down. Will invests US$60,000 in regional newspaper The man then started talking to Will about signing up other cities for his newspaper business, that he had just signed up another city and that he needed some investment money to sign up more cities in the Pacific Northwest region. The amount required was US$60,000 so will loaned it to him and got a lawyer to draw up a contract for the deal. Will was excited as the publisher was offering an equity stake in the business, high returns and “he talked a big game of how he was publicized everywhere and I said … ‘Okay, let’s do this’ … He did say after signing … checks that were written out in the contract, I’ll just pay you big chunk payments. So I got like a $5,000 payment, then a $10,000 payment … that took about six months to get those and then when a final payment bounced and I think he tried to write me another $15,000 check, it just didn’t go through. This was like six or seven months after I gave him the money and I went: ‘Oh, what did I do? (What have I done?).” Sees state of the accounts, realizes his money is gone Will called the publisher, inherently wanting to be a nice guy, and the principal made excuses, said he was sick, blamed everyone else but himself, but in the end let polite and persistent Will into the company’s offices to consult and maybe try to save the company. Will then spent half an hour with the bookkeeper (while talking to Andrew he admits he should have done this a long time ago). After he saw the books he realized he was never going to regain his money. The principal owed printers and many other people. He also was the public relations guy for Will’s tribe, so he had been telling people including Will that the tribe owed him a lot of money, and the tribe has a multimillion-dollar casino, so people thought they had the revenue. Thinking ‘success the best revenge’, Will starts his own So will did what some entrepreneurs would do, and instead of getting mad, decided to get even by starting his own online publication called Grit City, after the nickname they have given Tacoma. What he discovered was publications in start-up phase do not make money, so essentially, he was funding this new venture and in so doing, was throwing good money after bad. His CFO also told him later about sunken-cost fallacy. He had already lost so much money with the other weekly paper owner and he was sinking money into the new publication. One day he decided he could not continue, and as a gift, handed the business to his partners, and walked away, another $60,000 out of pocket. While his former partners made the publication work, Will will never make any ROI from any of the decisions he made. One small satisfaction though is that soon after he left Grit City, it was outranking the publication of the con artist he had had dealings with originally. Lessons learned Do due diligence, look at company’s books and debts If someone offers you an equity stake in a company, look at their debts, look at their books. If they are not willing to show you, then they’re not good partners and they are trying to take something from you. Beware of con men and the “confidence” they show The nature of con artists or confidence men is that they make you believe in the confidence that they have. Don’t look at what someone’s doing for you just because they’re doing it for you. Chances are their “kindness” and “confidence” is part of a mass scheme of deception. Andrew’s takeaways Six common mistakes Collated from the My Worst Investment Ever series, the six main categories of mistakes made by Andrew’s interviewees, starting from the most common, are: Failed to do their own research Failed to properly assess and manage risk Were driven by emotion or flawed thinking Misplaced trust Failed to monitor their investment Invested in a start-up company Will’s case features Mistake No.5 A common mistake is that we give money to people or business start-ups. Then we neglect to ask questions such as: “How is progress?” “What are your revenues this month?” “What are your costs this month?” “Can I see the financial statements?”, Due diligence first is getting access to that but monitoring is about keeping track of exactly what’s going on. For a lot of people that are investing in a private business, the first step must be: Make sure that the company closes its books every month, Make sure the accountants produce a balance sheet and an income statement Even though it’s more time in trouble and hassle, make sure you get those financial statements that will ultimately will be signed by an auditor. Trust can only be built with time There is no short cut to building trust between people. Only time works with building trust. Sometimes we like people when we meet them, and we think we can trust them. So when you come upon someone that gives you confidence and they’re really excited, just remember the first three letters of the confidence – Con! That is what “con man: comes from. Spite is not a good investment strategy Actionable advice Don’t believe when you go into an investment about the high returns, think about whether or not you can afford to lose the amount of money you are investing? No. 1 goal for next the 12 months Will would like to see people who struggle with reading picking up a copy of his book then after that, picking up more books and learning. “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life with my reading struggle and one was not admitting it to the public, to anyone for most of my life.” William Manzanares Parting words It’s okay to take risk.

How did the dead salmon get across the stream and other stories about chucking chum for birthday fun.For this episode we meet up with Jenn, the Port of Tacoma Biologist and grilled her about some of the Port’s land stewardship and restoration work. We also learned about her idea of a great birthday present. Amy attempted to spell hhhuuuvvhhh (retching vomiting sound). And Jen shares more about the magic of the the hot spot tool…that’s a GIS tool! Finally, we share some information about how you too can participate in local restoration projects.We share why the Port of Tacoma has been busy slinging salmon onto the shoreline of their restoration site. Who would have guessed that chucking chum into onto the banks of a stream would result in faster growing, bigger trees and other vegetation? Also, it turns out, if a biologist asked for your help on their birthday, you may want to be skeptical, especially if that request includes, “throw away clothes and gloves”.Thanks to this impromptu study by a professor at the University of Washington, we have over 20 years of data that helps us better understand the impacts of slinging ocean nutrient rich salmon onto the shoreline.We talked with the Port of Tacoma Biologist to learn more about some of the cool restoration work that the Port is currently involved with, different types of habitat mitigation sites and best of all, how they are helping salmon return to previously diked and channelized waterways!!!Did you know that there are three different types of habitat mitigation sites?! When your business or industry has made impact to the environment or will make impacts to the environment as part of development, our rules and regulations require that other habitat is restored or created.SCIENCE NERD ALERT! Let’s talk about different types of habitat mitigation! What is habitat mitigation, you may be asking? Well, basically its when land is developed in a way that impacts aquatic resources. While we want to protect critical habitat, our rules and regulations do allow for some impacts to aquatic resources, if they properly restore the site after development or restore another site. In the regulatory world, there are three types of habitat mitigation.Compensatory Mitigation - Creating the habitat site during or after an impact to the aquatic resources - mitigating for what has already been done or is in the process of being done.Advanced Mitigation - When you create another site, for a planned project, where you have already identified that the project will have an aquatic impact.Mitigation Bank - Where a habitat site is restored, but the project sponsor hasn’t identified a project that will have an aquatic impact. Later the credits from a mitigation bank can either be sold to others that have projects that will have aquatic impacts or used to develop another site that will have an aquatic impact.OK…now that we are through with some of the definitions…we also talked with the Port Biologist about a site they have been working on for quite a few years, Upper Clear Creek Restoration Site, a site where they are finally starting to see the fruits of their labors and it can be celebrated as a success!They restored an artificiality straightened ditch that ran through a former fallow farm field. There was not enough capacity in the channel during flooding events, so water (and salmon) would flow over the berm during high flows and then the juvenile salmon would become stranded in the field. As part of this project the Port reconnected the floodplain, created a more naturally meandering channel and provided refuge for baby salmon where they can rest up and get fat before going out into the dangerous ocean. This project took about 6 years to undo the prior work and recreate a more naturally functioning waterway! They are already seeing the success of this project. The very first fish they saw using the new channel after they breached the berm was an orca coveted chinook. Since that time, they have seen lots of coho, chum and maybe even a pinks using the site. There are rumors that bull and cutthroat are also using the new channels.The Port has become a leader in Salmon Recovery, through their habitat restoration projects. The Port is partially bound to the work that they do because the 1988 Land Trade Agreement with the Puyallup Tribe, which although probably caused great consternation for some in the past, has since been lauded as a great agreement for all.We highly recommend that you follow the Diaries of the Port Biologist Blog, they are entertaining, engaging and hilarious….also, apparently there is no shortage of interesting stories coming out of the Port.Want to learn more about the hot spot tool and how to use it to identify areas of concentrated findings? Hop on over to our GIS Blog to learn more!We also discussed how you can get your hands dirty…maybe not chucking chum, but at least pulling some non-native vegetation or planting some native vegetation along waterways, which still helps salmon (and orcas!). There are volunteer restoration opportunities both with the Port of Tacoma and other local groups like Forterra, a non-profit that provides volunteer stewardship opportunities.In addition, we touched on Earth Day, which is coming up on April 22! These cats think, if we want to make it out alive, we must act like EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY! Earth Day itself, is a great day for you to get outside and enjoy all of the wonders of our natural world! It’s also a great day to get your volunteer on, by participating in a restoration or stewardship project. On Earth Day, you will likely also be able to volunteer with the chum chucker herself, potentially pulling weeds at the Gog-Le-Hi-Te restoration site.WHACK FACT: Earth Day was started in 1970 as a way to raise public awareness about air and water pollution. Throughout the years the Earth Day organization has worked to “broaden, educate, and activate the environmental movement across the globe.” We have done a lot to protect the environment since 1970, but it seems we are making some huge backsteps currently and those could be very costly.Eventbright also has a variety of Earth Day related activities in the Puget Sound Basin (you can also search for other geographic areas!!!). Other volunteer opportunities include assisting Earthcorps (they provide tools and snacks and they still have openings for their April 20th event on Port of Tacoma Rd).This is our first monthly installment of our podcast. After a few months of bi-weekly podcasts, we remembered that we still have to work and we would still like some kind of a life outside of work and this podcast. We are going to try the monthly podcasts until we are able to more efficiently develop, record and edit our episodes.As always, please rate, review and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Please let us know what you think at outalivepodcast.com or facebook.com/WillWeMakeItOutAlive. See you next month, but in the meantime, don’t be afraid to to get out there and do good for the Salish Sea Ecosystem!Thanks for listening!
