Podcasts about South Mountain

Michaux State Forest is the place I spend the most time outdoors. Located about 30 miles from where I live, it's where I hike and camp. It's where I bring visitors to show off the South Mountain region. It's where I breath in fresh air and explore the beauty of the Commonwealth. It's my safe place away from the goings-on of Harrisburg. But that safety was shattered in April 2025. I received text messages from friends telling me that Michaux was on fire. Then, news came that there were two fires. And they were spreading. With wind and no rain in the forecast it became evident that the situation could get bad quickly.Over the following two weeks, I'd see photos and videos of the fires spreading across the forest I loved. Friends were evacuated from their homes. Roads were closed. Massive clouds of smoke billowed across the area. People were scared. The beautiful landscape I loved was on fire and there was nothing I could do but watch. But thanks to incredibly brave firefighters and with a little help from the weather, the Thompson Hollow and Hammond Rocks fires were extinguished in 14 days. Over 150 fire companies from 10 Pennsylvania and Maryland counties battled the blaze. Approximately 2,700 acres were destroyed by the wildfires. Luckily, no homes or private property was damaged and only two people suffered minor injuries. And, predictably, a determination was made that the fires were human caused, like 99 percent of all wildfires.Here's the thing. While the situation was scary for many in the area – even for us 40 minutes from the fires – this is a common occurrence in Pennsylvania. There's between 1,000 and 2,000 wildfires every year in Commonwealth. And the majority of those wildfires occur in the spring. These fires so close to home was a sobering reminder of the ever-present danger of wildfires. With Michaux still charred from the fires, I wanted to know more about wildfires and the wildland firefighters that have to put them out. On this episode, I speak with Mike Kern. Mike is the Chief Forest Fire Warden for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

//The Wire// 2300Z November 6, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: DONALD TRUMP WINS ELECTION. WILDFIRE STRIKES VENTURA COUNTY IN CALIFORNIA. COALITION GOVERNMENT IN GERMANY COLLAPSES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Climate activists from the Just Stop Oil group vandalized the U.S. Embassy perimeter in London early this morning in an act of protest against Trump's win.Germany: Chancellor Scholz's coalition government collapsed today, following long-standing disputes between the Social Democrats, the Free Democrats, and the Green Party, all three of which had united to form a coalition government in 2021. AC: As of this afternoon, most pundits are expecting a snap election sometime next spring.Middle East: Protests and demonstrations escalated overnight following PM Netanyahu's decision to fire Defense Minister Gallant.-HomeFront-USA: Donald Trump has won the Presidential election, garnering both the Electoral College and the popular vote. Harris conceded defeat this afternoon. Votes are still being tallied as a handful of hotly-contested Congressional races remain unsettled or well within the margin for a recount.Gulf Coast: Hurricane Rafael continues to strengthen, obtaining the status of a Category 3 hurricane overnight. Early this morning Rafael made landfall in Cuba, with many weather models differing on potential landfall impacts in the United States.California: An exceptionally serious wildfire has threatened residential neighborhoods in Ventura County, as very high winds significantly altered fire behavior this morning. The Mountain Fire was spotted this morning on South Mountain, resulting in a rapid blowup throughout the day. Over 1,500 acres have already burned, and most of the areas at immediate risk to safety are residential areas. Consequently, overwhelming efforts have been undertaken throughout the day to evacuate very large residential neighborhoods. Extremely high winds have also restricted the use of aerial fixed-wing firefighting assets, greatly limiting firefighting efforts.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the final votes are tallied, one major overwhelming observation is the absence of around 18 million votes for Harris that were expected following Biden's alleged numbers in 2020. In 2024, amid record turnout on both sides, the Democratic candidate won roughly the same amount of votes as in 2016. This has highlighted the not-insignificant discrepancies of the 2020 election like no other. Harris underperformed in every single county that Biden previously “won”, which is probably less of an indicator of voters' distaste for her, and more of an indicator of the widespread cheating that occurred in 2020. The vote count reaching nowhere near 2020 levels despite spending almost $16 billion dollars this campaign season (the most in American history) speaks volumes.However, at the end of the day, the truth of all elections remains poignant…roughly half of the nation is unbelievably upset. Even the most underwhelming protester still has the potential to cause chaos if the right funding conditions are met, though in general they usually are more of a threat to themselves than others. Nevertheless, increased situational awareness is strongly recommended over the next few months just in case more deliberately organized demonstration efforts become more common throughout far-left circles. Widespread rioting among these groups is unlikely for the moment, however there's still plenty of time to fund any opposition movement between now and January…or after the Inauguration when opposition can more effectively be centralized. So far, most riots have been extremely low-level and largely insignificant, with only a few arrests being made in the usual major cities. More broadly, the next few months will be instrumental in determining which lines of effort remain viable for liberals, which should be

fWotD Episode 2684: KNXV-TV Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 9 September 2024 is KNXV-TV.KNXV-TV (channel 15) is a television station in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, affiliated with ABC. It was established in 1979 as the Phoenix area's second independent station with part-time subscription television programming from ON TV. It was originally owned by the New Television Corporation, which had attempted to set up the station for nearly five years prior to its launch. In 1985, Scripps-Howard Broadcasting, the broadcast division of the E. W. Scripps Company, acquired KNXV-TV. Channel 15 affiliated with Fox in 1986 and became the leading independent in the market, one of Fox's strongest affiliates. In 1994, Fox announced a multi-city affiliation agreement with New World Communications which included Phoenix's then-CBS affiliate, KSAZ-TV, and mostly CBS affiliates in several other major markets. CBS expressed interest in affiliating with Scripps's ABC affiliates in other cities and Scripps used this as leverage to force ABC to move its Phoenix affiliation from market leader KTVK to KNXV-TV beginning in January 1995. The station was already organizing a local newsroom when the switch was announced and aired its first newscast on August 1, 1994; News 15 received critical acclaim in its early years but sank in ratings and quality in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The news department recovered, expanding the number of local newscasts it produced, and has since received three George Foster Peabody Awards. In 2019, Scripps acquired a second Phoenix station, KASW (channel 61), which was the CW affiliate for Phoenix. The CW affiliation briefly moved to a subchannel of KNXV-TV to allow channel 61 to air Arizona Coyotes hockey games. The two stations share studios on 44th Street on Phoenix's east side; KNXV-TV's transmitter is located atop South Mountain. Its signal is relayed across northern Arizona through a network of low-power translators.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Monday, 9 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see KNXV-TV on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

Stonewall Jackson has had his way, and now, thanks to the recovery of some lost orders, the boys are in Maryland fighting over a couple of gaps in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Listen on to hear what they think about this John Poniske design on the Battle of South Mountain, its Rick Barber map, and the beginnings of the Maryland Campaign.

  In Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and York Counties – also known as the South Mountain region – there's been progress in preserving farmland and even non-farmland, but almost half of the streams in the region are impaired and there are more extreme hot and rainy days. Those are a few of the findings of the first ever “State-of-the-Region Report Card" conducted by the conservation organization – South Mountain Partnership. The metrics that got a thumbs up for working well were more preserved land, including farmland, driving proximity to trails, and better air quality. The thumbs down, meaning more work to do, unfortunately was a longer list that included impaired streams and creeks, a decrease in riparian buffers, less forested land, fewer acres of orchards, walking proximity to trails and parks, and more extreme heat and rainy days. A sideways thumb translated to more work needs to be done or more information is needed. That grade went to wetlands preserved, farmland, historic places, public open spaces, trail and bike routes and driving proximity to water access. On The Spark Wednesday, Katie Hess, Director of the South Mountain Partnership and Pennsylvania Landscape Conservation said the report card is the first phase of a three-part project,"We have a report to final report that sets out recommendations for taking on the challenges that were revealed in this project. And South Mountain Partnership is taking on a handful of these over the next 5 to 10 years. But there are over 65 recommendations. And so we invite any individual or group who is interested in being part of implementing or exploring the implementation of other recommendations to join us. Julia Chain, Program Manager of South Mountain Partnership added, "Something that we're trying to weave in through each of these recommendations and how we take action on them is accessibility. So, we understand that creating the most accessible opportunity to interact with nature is really critical. And I think this is just a good opportunity to highlight the work that the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation has done here, because they've done a lot of this research to identify where we can grow in terms of accessibility. And they also really support our program. Our conservation landscape is one of eight in Pennsylvania and was selected by DCNR for being such a unique location."Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode we are joined by Historian and National Park Service Ranger Matt Borders.  Matt provides a wonderful breakdown of the American Civil War.  He takes us step by step providing a clear detailed breakdown of the issues that led to the war.  Matt then takes us on the journey starting in 1860 where South Carolina secedes from the Union, followed by additional Southern States secession at the start of 1861, to the Confederates firing upon Fort Sumter, kicking off the Civil War.  He then goes year by year breaking down some of the key battles during the Civil War, key figures during the war including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, George Meade, and the spy network that existed on both the Union and Confederate sides.  He then takes us to the Battle of Appomattox ultimately leading to Robert E. Lee's signing the document of surrender.  From there he covers the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the post-war.   We then talked to Matt about several books he co-authored including Faces of Union Soldiers at Antietam, Faces of Union Soldiers at Culp's Hill, and Faces of Union Soldiers at South Mountain and Harpers Ferry.   Matt Borders is a historian, author, National Park Service Ranger, and the co-host of  @thehistorythingspodcast. Matt Borders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattbordersbooks/@thehistorythingspodcast- A conversational approach to interpreting history.

Dave Rosen is a climber and ophthalmologist in his final year of residency. And Dave grew up like so many of us: broadly exposed to the importance of money and taught a thing or two about saving, but investing was a foreign concept and his lack of knowledge was a source of shame.While Dave skimmed over it, he's no slouch as a climber. He has bagged a pile of double-digit boulder problems up to V12, sent 5.13c, and developed numerous boulder problems, particularly in the South Mountain area near Phoenix where he and his wife lived for medical school for four years. He is hard-working, analytical, and pragmatic in his career and life approach. In this conversation, we discuss how Dave found climbing from the world of canyoneering, his early exposure to money and how that has markedly changed in recent years, the constant pull of greener grass, working backward from an ideal lifestyle, and the ethical and moral dilemmas of early retirement. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com

Hilary Brougher writes and directs films which blend the mechanics of original storytelling with gritty development of character. Through incisive dialogue; emotional harbingers of hope followed by inevitable glimpses of realism, Hilary's projects each carry with them a distinct piece of the era in which they were constructed. Growing up in Catskill, NY, she would frequent the cinema every week to catch a taste of the latest auteur to be featured, such as Fellini. Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, Gillian Armstrong and Jane Campion were among the filmmakers she admired into the 80's. She made her film debut as writer and director of The Sticky Fingers of Time (Terumi Matthews; Nicole Zaray; James Urbaniak), which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 1997. Shot on Super 16 in Williamsburg, the film captured the scent of the 1950's noir genre in unparalleled unique fashion and flair through the vein of time-travel, feeling stuck and reminiscing about the future. Her next feature film, Stephanie Daley, was developed at the Sundance Lab and starred Academy Award Winner Tilda Swinton and Amber Tamblyn in lead roles; the film portrayed themes of trauma, pregnancy and the search for truth fueled by heavy emotions and performances which followed suit. Timothy Hutton, Denis O'Hare, Melissa Leo and Jim Gaffigan support the storyline in masterful and different ways. Hilary won the Waldo Scott Screenplay Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and Best Director at the Milan International Film Festival; Stephanie Daley was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, while Tamblyn was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her gripping performance as the title character. Hilary then adapted Jane Mendelsohn's novel Innocence into a feature film of the same name, which starred Kelly Reilly, Sophie Lane Curtis, Sarita Choudhury and delved into the teen horror, vampire fiction genre. Her latest film, South Mountain, is a poetic expanse on life, liberty and morality through lens of masterful performances by Talia Balsam, Scott Cohen and Andrus Nichols. She worked with “Sticky Fingers” collaborator, cinematographer and husband, Ethan Mass, on the project, and displayed the craft she has continued to execute with charm throughout her illustrious career. She is Professor of Professional Practice in Film at Columbia University. In our conversation, we discussed shooting on film; practical considerations in distribution; and directing some of the best actors of all time.Opening Credits: Delay 77 - Nothing at All; Closing Credits: HoliznaCC0 - The Dull Blade Of Repetition

Changes in senior leadership can make or break any church or organization, especially when a senior, founding pastor retires. Succession is a crucial leadership discussion that often gets forgotten or delayed, but it's a topic we would all be wise to get a head start on.Today we talk with Eric Nelson, the new lead pastor of South Mountain Community Church in Utah. Eric recently took over after their former leader, Paul Robie, retired at the end of last year. South Mountain took their time and the succession process worked really smoothly, so what outline did they follow, and what can we learn from their story? Eric walks us through each step, shares lessons he learned along the way, and provides some helpful things for us to think about as more and more churches are passing the reins on to the next generation of leaders. 

There is a lot of emphasis on messaging regarding marketing these days. However, most people just try to create messaging based on assumptions of what they think their clients and customers "would" say. That can take your messaging off track to what truly connects to your audience.On today's show, Jonny Holsten, a StoryBrand Guide, speaks about When Messaging Goes Wrong and How To Get It Back On Track. In this episode, Jonny talks about:• Why you need to interview your client's clients and your sales team when creating messaging• Why you need someone else to write your messaging• How to properly talk about "yourself" in your messaging• Ways to find authority in your past skills• The importance of having a controlling idea in your marketing

Synopsis As the season begins, we offer you this “Autumn Music” — a woodwind quintet by American composer Jennifer Higdon. Higdon says she wanted to write a companion piece to another famous woodwind quintet titled “Summer Music” by Samuel Barber. Higdon's “Autumn Music” was commissioned by Pi Kappa Lambda, the national music honorary society, and premiered at their 1994 national convention in Pittsburgh. “Autumn Music,” says Higdon, “is a sonic picture of the season of brilliant colors. The music of the first part represents the explosion of leaves and the crispness of the air of fall. As the music progresses, it becomes more spare and introspective, moving into a more melancholy and resigned feeling.” Jennifer Higdon was born in Brooklyn in 1962, and teaches at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Her chamber and orchestral pieces have been performed by ensembles coast to coast. She's also active as a performer and, as she explains, as an enthusiastic member of the audience: “I love exploring new works — my own pieces and the music of others — in a general audience setting, just to feel a communal reaction to new sounds. Music speaks to all age levels and all kinds of experiences in our lives. I think it can express anything and everything.” Music Played in Today's Program Jennifer Higdon (b. 1962): Autumn Music –Moran Woodwind Quintet (Crystal 754) On This Day Births 1875 - Lithuanian composer Mikolajus Ciurlionis, in Varena (then the Kaunas province of the Russian Empire; Julian date: Sept. 10); 1933 - Spanish composer Leonardo Balada, in Barcelona; 1961 - American composer Michael Torke, in Milwaukee, Wisc.; Deaths 1989 - American song composer Irving Berlin, age 101, in New York City; Premieres 1869 - Wagner: opera, "Das Rheingold," in Munich at the Hoftheater, Franz Wüllner conducting; The opera was performed at the Bavarian emperor Ludwig II's request, but against the composer's wishes; 1938 - Webern: String Quartet, Op. 28, at South Mountain, Pittsfield, Mass., during the Berkshire Chamber Music Festival; This work was commissioned for $750 by the American music patron, Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge; 1964 - Jerry Bock: musical "Fiddler On the Roof" opens on Broadway: It would run for 3,242 performances before closing; 1971 - Barber: "The Lovers" for solo voice and chorus (after a poem by Pablo Neruda), in Philadelphia; 1989 - Bernstein: "Arias and Barcarolles" (orchestrated version prepared by Bright Sheng), at the Tilles Center of Long Island University with the New York Chamber Symphony conducted by Gerard Schwarz and featuring vocalists Susan Graham and Kurt Ollmann; The first version of this work, for soloists and piano four-hands, premiered on May 9, 1988, at Equitable Center Auditorium in New York City; 1990 - James MacMillan: "The Beserking" (Piano Concerto), at Henry Wood Hall in Glasgow by pianist Peter Donohoue and the Royal Scottish Orchestra, Matthias Bamert conducting; 1990 - Christopher Rouse: "Jagannath" for orchestra, by the Houston Symphony Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach conducting; 2000 - Philip Glass: “Tirol Concerto” for piano and orchestra, by Dennis Russell Davies (piano and conductor) with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, at the 7th annual Klangspuren Festival in Schwaz, Tirol (Austria); 2000 - Zwilich: "Millennium Fantasy" for piano and orchestra, by the Cincinnati Symphony, Jesús Lopez-Cobos conducting with soloist Jeffrey Biegel; Others 1937 - During the Spanish Civil War, Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas conducts his 1935 composition “Homage to Federico Garcia Lorca” in Madrid while the city was under siege by Spanish fascist forces; The Spanish poet Lorca had been killed by the Falangists; Links and Resources On Jennifer Higdon On Barber's "Summer Music"

We then get sidetracked talking about some of our favorite restaurants in the Scottsdale area:  The Farm at South Mountain, Bandera - which apparently closed this year, and Luci's at the Grove I wanted to start with pinning up a couple of things from the last episode: In particular a bit more of the Story of Joseph which is in Genesis 37 through the end of Genesis.  Bottom line:   we see a Biblical example of forgiveness and grief and in particular Joseph shows us that we can forgive and then continue to grieve. Fast forgiveness can lead to fast bitterness for women.  Jason wanted to reiterate that a husband's heart attitude toward the forgiveness process for her needs to be focused on for her to feel better, not just for him to feel better. We then dig into some handholds that women can use as they work through the forgiveness process.  We dig into these six phases of the process: Awareness - owning our feelings, this is the beginning of grief Acknowledgement - name the bitterness, resentment, etc. and see that forgiveness is ultimately the answer - but it's okay to not jump to forgiveness if you aren't ready Empathize and Experience - empathy is key (but keep in mind this can take a long time to cultivate).  In regards to experience:  this is from the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18- when we experience forgiveness (not just receive it) - it readies our hearts to share it with others. Choice - forgiveness is volitional, it's a choice, it literally means - “to let go” Commemorate and Communicate - doing something to show that you have said your big “yes” of forgiveness and consider communicating this to the one that has hurt you (use wisdom here, depends on the relationship) Continuation - even after our big yes of forgiveness - continuing to say the little yeses.  The number of times we forgive is not a numerical standard but rather a heart standard.  We will continue to forgive until our heart is at peace. Forgiveness work is a full-time job ladies.  And for men listening - please hear me say:  she is working HARD to get there.  When she is crying and grieving - know that this is what is moving her through and toward forgiveness.

In 1882, Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren would write a book by the name of South Mountain Magic. It was in this book that the uncanny reality of the mountainous areas of Maryland would be finally documented for the world to learn of. The likes of Witches, Wizards, Haints and creatures such as the Snallygaster and Dwayyo would finally escape the hills and hollers of South Mountain. Among these creatures (and many others) is one canine that was so feared and respected in the 1800's that the people who called the South Mountain area home, thought of this creature as real as any other in the woods. Snapping in and out of existence, growing to enormous sizes, and snarling at its witnesses, Mrs. Dahlgren simply called it the “dog-fiend” but the locals eventually came to call it the Snarly Yow.

Today we're joined by two Arizonans working to create healthier communities that recognize, address and prevent traumatic experiences. We're not referring to the type of trauma you see in the traffic section of the news each day. Rather, we're discussing the impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs, as they're commonly known) and toxic stress that can stem from harmful relationships with the people, places and policies that surround each of us. These experiences are often connected with things like abuse and neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse in the home, or the loss of a loved one. Sadly, recent evidence indicates that Arizona has the highest rate in the nation of people experiencing multiple ACEs. Today's guests are working to change that. Angie Burleson is the Executive Director of the Arizona ACEs Consortium, a statewide collaborative that engages professionals and agencies to increase awareness about the causes, effects, and opportunities to decrease ACEs in our community. They do so, in part, by training school leaders, teachers and staff to create trauma-sensitive environments for Arizona's children. Shomari Jackson is a member of the ACEs Consortium and is incoming Executive Director of the South Mountain Works Coalition, a non-profit working with youth and leaders in the South Mountain communities of Phoenix to prevent substance abuse.  If you or anyone you know are navigating through a traumatic experience, or if it would be helpful to speak with a peer who's gone through a similar experience, support is always available by calling Arizona's Crisis Line at 1-800-631-1314 or by calling the Peer Support Warm Line at 602-347-1100.

In today's episode we will talk with John Abrams, founder of South Mountain Company in Martha's Vineyard. John talks about the transition of his business to its next leader– Deirdre Bohan– and the challenges they faced in the process. With over 2 million or more baby boomers at the helm of businesses today, there is a much needed demand for resources on transitioning a business so the legacy continues. With the Great Resignation in place and businesses, like construction, are experiencing a shrinking workforce…how can you gain and retain good employees? During this episode, John and Deirdre talk about how they created a model that works. If you are looking for creative and aligned ways to transition a business this episode is for you.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: The business model that gives employees more “skin in the game” How to keep your core values intact during a transition Empowering others through delegation Why engagement and transparency with employees is critical for longevity The keys to creating loyalty in your team What to look for in new hires to create future leaders The components needed for an easeful business transition Bio: John Abrams COO & Co-Owner In 1975 John and his family inadvertently landed on the Vineyard. Their arrival marked the end to a wandering back-to-the-land hippie odyssey and the beginning of South Mountain. For nearly a half-century he has devoted himself to creating, nurturing, and growing SMCo and a variety of public initiatives, mostly related to affordable housing. These days, he concentrates on building capacity for the 2022 transition, after which he looks forward to a life of writing, activism, grandparenting, skiing with family, and travel with Kim. John is a co-founder of Building Energy Bottom Lines, a peer group network of 60+ Northeast U.S. businesses in the architecture and construction industry. His writings include his book COMPANIES WE KEEP: Employee Ownership and the Business of Community and Place, which was published in 2008.   Deirdre Bohan COO & Co-Owner Deirdre spent childhood summers in Vineyard Haven. After graduating from Brown University, with a degree in Computer Science, she returned to the island to work a variety of jobs (and briefly bum around the Caribbean) before settling at South Mountain. Since joining our team in 1995, she has inhabited a variety of roles, including but not limited to: bookkeeper, founder of our interiors department, chair of our management committee, COO and designated CEO-in-training. Like so many of us, she feels enormously grateful to have spent her entire career in a place that allows her to do her best work, contribute in meaningful ways and share days with friends. As designated future CEO, she will focus on paying these gifts forward. Deirdre lives with her husband, young son and Australian Shepherd puppy in a restored Oak Bluffs bungalow.   Resources: Website: southmountain.com Careers: https://www.southmountain.com/who-we-are/careers/ Instagram: southmountaincompany Houzz: South Mountain Company Pinterest: South Mountain Company Blog: https://www.southmountain.com/blog/

Certain hills, mountains, valleys, forests and rivers are among some of the most sacred spaces for Indigenous culture and spirituality. They are included in creation stories. They include places like Oak Flat, San Francisco Peak, the Grand Canyon, South Mountain and the Blythe Intaglios. But many of those places are not controlled by tribes. They […]
