Dr. Jack Hensold: Hello and welcome to this two-part episode of the ASCO Education Podcast. Today we will explore some real-time and real-world issues that oncologists face while practicing in rural areas in the US and abroad. Cities tend to benefit from having more doctors, facilities, and equipment to address the health needs of the population. In contrast, people who live in rural areas – estimated to be about 25% of the US population – face various challenges to obtaining consistent health care, including scarce medical personnel and infrastructure. Transportation of that care may involve considerable time and financial expense. I'm Dr. Jack Hensold, the Hematologist/Oncologist in Bozeman, Montana, and Chair of the ASCO Rural Cancer Care Task Force. I also serve as Medical Director of Regional Outreach at Bozeman Health. Joining me is Chris Prakash, Oncologist and Medical Director of Texas Oncology and President of the Texas Society of Clinical Oncology. Chris is also the Director of Quality Services for the statewide group and leads Texas Oncologist's Precision Medicine Initiative. Also joining me is Professor Sabe Sabesan, a Medical Oncologist in regional Australia. He is the President-Elect of the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia and Clinical Director of the Australian Teledyne Health Program, led by the Queensland State Department of Health. Professor Sabesan is an internationally recognized expert in the area of tele-oncology. He has developed and evaluated various oncology models to deliver cancer care closer to home. Providing healthcare is a very involved career, more so in rural areas. Dr. Prakash, you finished your oncology training in Detroit, yet you practice primarily in rural Texas. Can you detail the factors that led to your decision in practicing oncology in a rural setting? Dr. Chris Prakash: Thank you, Jack, for having me as part of this podcast. I finished my fellowship at Wayne State in Detroit, Michigan, and we were looking for a place to raise our kids and family and to find a good practice for myself. My daughter was two years old at that time. We were looking for a quiet, safe place with a laidback lifestyle, but at the same time a dynamic oncology practice. That's how I found East Texas, which is primarily a rural area. The small community here, good schools, and nice, accepting people really appealed to us. So we decided to give it a chance. We are still here almost 23 years later. My daughter has grown up and is in medical school. My son, who was born in Paris, Texas, is planning to go to med school next year. Over the last couple of decades, I've found that practicing oncology in a rural setting is indeed very rewarding. You can make a difference in people's lives here. People are simple. They have faith and respect and follow doctors' advice. Practicing here, I've had a real chance to make a difference in not only people's lives but also in the overall healthcare system and in health policy. As you know, Jack, about 18% to 20% of the population lives in rural areas in the US. But only 3% of oncologists are available to provide care for them. So I'm not only fulfilling a need but also satisfying a desire to contribute. Dr. Jack Hensold: Chris, could you clarify the nature of your practice? Are you a solo oncologist within a much larger group spread out over the state, or is there more than one oncologist on your site? Dr. Chris Prakash: Yeah, so I'm part of Texas Oncology, which is a statewide large group with multiple sites of service. In my location, there are three medical oncologists and one radiation oncologist. So we serve the catchment area of Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma. But within Texas Oncology, we have locations spread out all over the state. Dr. Jack Hensold: Thank you for that clarity. Professor Sabesan, you started in Sri Lanka and are now in a rural area of Australia. How did that happen? Professor Sabe Sabesan: I grew up in northern Sri Lanka in a village but moved to Australia because of the war in Sri Lanka in ‘90. So I did my med school in Adelaide, Australia. During my med school, we had to do a lot of rural clinical placements. And also as a result of that, I did my internship in a central Australian town called Alice Springs. Throughout that journey, I saw firsthand the difficulties these communities face in accessing healthcare, basic healthcare. So when I finished my training in medical oncology, I was looking for a place where I could contribute to minimizing these difficulties, but also taking an academic angle to this. So I chose a regional center called Townsville in North Queensland as our home that actually serves a large rural and indigenous population, but also it is an academic hub for rural medicine. So it kind of served my clinical and academic needs, and we've been there last 20 years now. Dr. Jack Hensold: A significant hurdle for patients in rural areas is transportation. Patients sometimes travel an entire day or stay overnight near the clinic, where they will be examined or treated. What resources have been developed to assist with transportation to help patients come back for test results, appointments, and treatments? Chris? Dr. Chris Prakash: Transportation, that's a big hurdle for many patients across the country, but mainly for the rural population. So, as I just said, my practice is in Paris, Texas, but the draw is about a quarter of a million. So patients come to see us here to receive their medical care from all over Northeast Texas as well as Southeast Oklahoma, and there is no public transportation in many of these areas. The average time to commute for many of my patients is in excess of an hour and a half each way. Patients do travel sometimes an entire day. They sometimes have to stay overnight to receive their treatments the next day. I recall a patient with tonsillar cancer last year who was receiving concurrent chemotherapy and radiation. So he lived almost three hours away. This was too cost prohibitive for him to travel back and forth on a daily basis for radiation therapy. So what he did was set up his camper right behind the cancer center, which certainly made it a lot easier for him to get his treatments that way. I would not recommend that as a routine practice for everybody, but it did work out for him Close by there is a community of Choctaw Indians here in Southeast Oklahoma also, and they do have some options for transportation for just their citizens. And locally, some local church groups and volunteer organizations provide assistance with transportation for some patients as well. But that is a problem. Transportation is a big access issue for my population. Dr. Jack Hensold: Thank you. And just to make a comment, there's actually a fair amount of literature regarding what we refer to as financial toxicity associated with the need to travel. Sabe, do you have some transportation problems in your area? I would assume… Professor Sabe Sabesan: This is similar to what Chris and you are describing, Jack. Our area is 2000 by 1000 kilometers with about 650,000 population. There are scattered rural hospitals, but really there's no consistent public transport. But the government does pay for transport and accommodation. I heard that it doesn't fully cover it. But one of the disappointing things is that if you're traveling for clinical trials, that subsidy is not there for them. So that's probably one of the reasons why the governments have gone for the telehealth investment. Dr. Jack Hensold: Thank you. Telehealth is a critical tool for providing healthcare in many areas, including rural areas. How do you manage the health literacy problems of ethnically, educationally, and socioeconomically diverse populations using telehealth? Chris? Dr. Chris Prakash: Telehealth has been around for a long time, but during the pandemic, that's when we needed to keep our patients safe and away in their homes and still continue to give healthcare to them. So we conducted many visits through telemedicine at that time. Telehealth is especially used for many patients in rural areas because they have problems with access. But there are many challenges. As you know there is a broadband divide in the US. About 1 in 4 Americans do not have a good broadband connection so it is very difficult for them to perform a video telehealth visit. Audio works out okay a lot of times, but to do a good video telehealth visit, that's a difficulty. Also, as you know, many of the flexibilities that we were afforded during the pandemic regarding telemedicine, they are slowly going away. So that's making telemedicine even more difficult to do. But telemedicine is a boon for many of the patients who live in rural areas. I remember just the other day I saw an elderly couple, the man had just been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. In the room, he requested that his children join the conversation via FaceTime on his phone so that they can listen in to what I had to say and what I had to tell them. This was indeed very helpful for them. I was able to explain to the patient, his wife, as well as his children who joined via FaceTime about the diagnosis, which was new, the treatment plan, expectations moving forward, and all of that. So even though this was not a true televisit, it really demonstrates how technology can help us deliver good communication and good oncology care in many situations. But still, I would say that for many patients, telemedicine is not ideal. It's especially true given the devastating diagnosis of cancer. Patients want to see their doctors face-to-face. As a doctor, I want to examine them. And also, body language is very important. It is important for my patients to trust me as a physician, and that's hard to do sometimes via video chat. So right now my nurse practitioners do a lot of chemo teaching through telemedicine. Now that is really helpful for them because this can be done over multiple teaching sessions, it makes it a lot easier for the patient. Because rather than coming into the clinic for all these visits, they can learn from the comfort of their homes before they really start the toxic chemotherapy. Dr. Jack Hensold: Chris, thank you for that. I think that you make a very valid point and one that I've made, which is that telehealth is a great tool for overcoming geographic barriers in rural areas. But I think we just simply have to accept the fact that it's not as good as a face-to-face visit. So how we blend the use of telehealth with face-to-face visits I think is going to be a challenge moving forward. Dr. Chris Prakash: Yeah, I totally agree. I think toxicity management is great. I mean, it's a great tool to call and see how patients are doing after treatment. But that initial visit, there's something to be said about establishing a rapport and faith and trust in your doctor when you're treating cancer. Dr. Jack Hensold: I completely agree. Sabe, you sound like you're one of the experts in Australia regarding telehealth. I wonder if you have some comments about your experience. Professor Sabe Sabesan: Yeah, I would say it's an evolving experience which has evolved over 15 years. So in terms of the health literacy needs, my observation is actually the same whether it's in person or in telehealth. What we observed is that we just need to tailor to the patient's needs. When we first developed the telemedicine, we had the same issues, developing rapport and seeing first consultations in person. But what we did, we started doing a lot of shared care models and tele supervision models with rural facilities rather than directly into homes. So what that meant, we had patients' families can attend, especially the primary care physicians, and the rural nurses were able to sit in with the patients. So that means if there were any communication issues or any translation aspects, language-wise or explaining medical lingo, there was a system in place in the rural sector that is close to home that was provided by the primary care physicians and the families. And also then from that experience, we did some research and the patients actually said they were happy to continue initial consultations on the telehealth consultation, provided there were families involved, the primary care physicians were in there, and also the aboriginal health workers. So for some regions now we do the initial consultation purely on telehealth because what also what telehealth does for the first consultation, if we need to then bring them to our center, then we would be able to coordinate the whole trip rather than coming back and forth. So that's actually probably the difference in a couple of the larger centers. But the other main benefit I actually found for indigenous patients is that we can involve the whole family in the patient care and normally that means they are able to ensure compliance and compliance with clinic visits. So it's been evolving but really it is what our models, some of them are tele-oncology replacing face-to-face, some of them are hybrid, some of them are treatment-related. So it's really based on the needs of that little communities. That's what we've been doing. Dr. Chris Prakash: If I can ask you a question Sabe, on that, do you experience barriers to practice across state boundaries in Australia? Because I know in the US that's a big issue, that's a hurdle. Licensing is an issue across state boundaries and also broadband issue because a lot of my patients, they simply don't have the broadband width to get on a video chat. Do you experience that in Australia as well? Professor Sabe Sabesan: So we definitely have the broadband divide in Australia, but luckily the state governments have actually invested heavily on fiber. So all the health facilities, whether they are small or large, they are all connected on fiber. So if you do video calls or telehealth within that system, it is pretty good. But as soon as you go outside to a primary care facility that is not part of a state facility or home, you run into trouble with broadband. But in terms of the state boundaries, I think it is a bit loose. I don't know whether there's actually a strict monitoring of the systems, but because the whole Australian system is funded by Medicare, it really doesn't matter where the patient lives as long as you bill the patient based on the consultation. Dr. Jack Hensold: And I'd like to just respond to something you said, Sabe, too, which is the involvement of primary care doctors and local healthcare workers in the care of patients, is something I will return to later in this conversation. But I think it's important that we consider when we're keeping patients out of our larger centers and treating them in their own home areas, that we are relying on supportive care by those primary care providers. Any other comments regarding the telehealth issue? Professor Sabe Sabesan: In terms of the primary care shared care models and collaborations, that is actually one of the important aspects of telehealth because we have in the rural sector, the turnover of the staff is pretty high. So then what happens if we want to provide consistent medical service on telehealth? Something needs to be consistent so we become the consistent aspect of the partnership. So then that gives us bit more safety that there's a shared care model, but also what we found now that in terms of educating on oncology topics, the shared care models actually give you an opportunity for case-based discussion. I think there is a benefit for workforce development as well, as well as connecting the rural workforce with a network of workforce. Dr. Chris Prakash: Involving primary care physicians in the total care of the patient is vital, especially in rural areas because they really depend upon their PCPs and often these are APPs providing their primary care. You've got to manage their diabetes and hypertension and go through all their medications, antiemetics pain medications, work with the local pharmacy. There are so many issues that go into treating a patient with cancer and as an oncologist sitting 100 miles away, I'm not going to be able to take care of every detailed aspect of their care. So what I do is involve their primary physician from the very beginning. So when the patient first comes to me, it could be via telemedicine or not, I'm calling them back and saying, “Hey, I saw so and so. This is my diagnosis, this is my plan. I'm going to do all the treatments here at my center. But whatever's possible you can do locally, I would appreciate that.” If there's labs that can be drawn, imaging that can be done locally, any testing that can be done locally, patients really value that because they don't want to travel 2 hours just for a CT scan if they can avoid it. That's my practice. Dr. Jack Hensold: Thank you. You mentioned something that we're going to touch on next, which is that in rural areas it is often difficult to access labs, imaging facilities, and other specialized treatments, certainly CAR T therapy and other highly technical therapies. There are other services that may be limited in a rural area such as mental health, fertility preservation, palliative care, access to social workers. Do you have solutions to address that really supportive care and those needs? Dr. Chris Prakash: Yeah, I think, Jack, you touched on a very, very critical challenge right now. It's a workforce issue. It's very hard to hire and keep good support staff not only in rural areas but all over the country right now. So you mentioned social workers, nurses, nutrition specialists, mental health providers, even fertility services. They're very hard to find in rural areas. There's a big workforce problem, right, all over the country. But the pandemic really exacerbated that. I mean, it's hard to find good staff anywhere and there's no easy solution to fix this problem. So what we need to look for is maybe provide incentives such as loan forgiveness programs or tuition payment programs, or repayment. Really anything that keeps professionals in rural settings. And we need to find people who like working in these areas because that's a very difficult problem as well. And as you know, many specialized treatments, stem cell transplants, CAR T cell therapy, specialized neurosurgeries or cardiothoracic surgeries, or many oncologic surgeries, they can only be done at big tertiary centers in big cities often. So patients have got to travel a few hours to go there. So what we can do to make it easier on them is provide the first consultations with those specialists via telemedicine. And if they're thought to be good candidates for the procedures, then they can make a trip that's necessary to the city, let's say. But also you mentioned consistency, that is the key. It's very important to be consistent if you want to provide quality cancer care. It could be imaging, it could be diagnostics, molecular testing, or any kind of therapy that you deliver. They should all be consistent no matter where a patient is being treated. So that brings into question provider education. Many oncologists in rural areas, they're generalists, they treat all cancers. They do not specialize in one area. It's really hard to keep up with all the latest information that's coming out. So it's important that we provide all educational tools possible to keep them up to date. I just moderated a meeting called Oncology Congress. So this is geared towards cancer care providers in rural areas. It's a free CME webcast, various topics on cancer, excellent faculty, and the main thing is that the discussion is geared towards improving multidisciplinary care in those rural settings. So I think another thing that we could think of as a solution to this problem is virtual tumor boards. I mean, they're very helpful where somebody can get on and get an opinion regarding a difficult case. But I think most helpful is if you have a network of doctors or specialists that you can rely on, you can call somebody, a quick consult or say, “Hey, I have a problem, a challenging case, what would you recommend?” Because sometimes we just don't have time to wait for that tumor board or wait for an official consultation. So, yeah, it's a difficult challenge. Dr. Jack Hensold: Yes. And again, a point that you made that I'd like to respond to is the virtual tumor boards and basically shared education with maybe a larger group. As we've kind of in Montana looked at a development of hub and spoke models, we've realized it may make sense to consider a hub and spoke communicating with a spoke and hub. In other words, a larger center with what becomes the hub for a smaller community, and then that reaches out. So there's a series of educational connections that need to be made. Dr. Chris Prakash: Yeah, I think you almost need multiple hubs. One central big hub in this day and age is probably not going to help solve that problem. So you got to have a big hub and then maybe a series of regional hubs where patients can easily access and doctors can access information. Dr. Jack Hensold: Yes, I think that's absolutely correct. The education piece, too, is, I think, something that keeps oncology practitioners out of smaller communities where they may be practicing by themselves. Because it's difficult, as you know, as an oncologist, to feel like you're staying current with everything you need to stay up to date with, and therefore practicing in a larger group where you can turn to someone else for some immediate education. Dr. Chris Prakash: That's very true. And if you really look at what these CME programs or educational programs are geared to, none of them are geared towards rural practice. They talk about big clinical trials. And those populations are really not my patient population, for sure. So you really need a program where people who know rural medicine, who have experienced it firsthand, like you, me, and Sabe, and say, “Okay, this is what really happens. You cannot give CAR T therapy to every Lymphoma that walks in.” I think those are the kind of educations we are talking about. There's so many educational programs that are available, but not many for rural practitioners. Dr. Jack Hensold: Right. And it does speak to whether or not we need to be thinking about developing some type of education that's easily accessible to those very busy practitioners who may be a solo practitioner with no one around for hundreds of miles, I guess. Dr. Chris Prakash: And not to throw in a plug for my conference, but the Oncology Congress that I do twice a year, that's the sole purpose. We will have faculty from big centers. But I make sure that the conversation moves towards rural settings where we do not have all the latest technologies and the therapies available. And we had a really good turnout this past weekend, so I'm happy to share information if anybody's interested. Dr. Jack Hensold: Yes, that would be great. Again, I think this conversation has been terrific because I've really become focused on the issue of the inadequate education we have not only for our oncologists who are out in practice in smaller areas but also for the primary care providers who need a better understanding of what's required for supportive care of oncology patients. And there's very limited material that focuses on that as well. Dr. Chris Prakash: Totally agree. Just one last point I want to make is with the checkpoint inhibitors. That's a perfect example. Many of these toxicities are multi-organ, and the patients in the community, the docs in the community sometimes are not aware of the skin rash or lung symptoms, or pneumonia is really related to the therapy. So very important to involve the whole team in their care. Dr. Jack Hensold: Completely agree. Sabe, what about your experience in this regard? Professor Sabe Sabesan: Exactly the similar experience Chris has been describing. Another group of rural people, there are actually smaller rural communities. Sometimes they are like 500 or 1000 population maximum. So those kinds of places, they completely miss out because they are too small even for standard general medicine specialties. What we've been observing over time or focusing on is really how do we build those capabilities at rural sites because if they keep doing the same stuff, then they are not going to grow or build. So what we've been doing is let's build some rural capabilities and let's also focus on expanding the scope of practice. So to do that, we actually have to start shifting specialist services like chemotherapy administration or rheumatology infusions back to those smaller towns. And then we have to utilize tele-supervision and share care models with allied health and the rural health workforce. So when that happens, we need more staff because there are more activities happening. And what we found in the western Queensland town of Mount Isa before 2007, maybe a few chemotherapy patients had to travel for everything. Over time we shifted all the chemotherapy and biotherapy to that 20,000 population town. That meant that over that ten years they had more resources from the government, more staff like registrars and residents, and also needed infrastructure. So that gave us some confidence that maybe we have to leverage the telemedicine technologies to build rural systems, not just seeing patients. Dr. Jack Hensold: Thank you Dr. Prakash, for your insight into this topic and also to Professor Sabesan for his perspective from his practice in Australia. In part two of this podcast, we will explore how the difference between American and Australian healthcare systems impact care for rural patients, the need for advocacy from doctors in a pilot project in Montana I'm working on with ASCO.

Join me tonight for a special 2 guest, 2 hour podcast, for memorial day where the First Hour Guest Is UFO Experiencer Tim Seanor, where he will be showing some of his UFO Experiences and Evidence, The second hour guest is Bigfoot and Dogman Experiencer Arla Cailleach Collett Bio's for Tim and Arla: Guest Tim Seanor discusses an event that took place on July 5, 2019 at Rockaway Beach Rd NE, Bainbridge Island, WA. He was accompanied by his father, Donald Seanor along along with other family members to witness an event that defies the norm, from Tic Tac UFOs and much more. Tim Seanor has a background is in Psychology is a writer with the pen name of David Powers and father of five. Arla was born, grew up in and still resides in Southeast Oklahoma. At age 6, she was playing outside her home when she heard a noise and looked up to find a juvenile male Bigfoot or Sasquatch watching her play in the dirt... she ran to her Cherokee Grandmother and told her what she had seen whereupon this wise Grandmother, on Arla's asking "What was it, Grandmother?", answered... "What do you think it was?" This simple act of allowing a child to think it out for herself before having it explained to her ignited a love and a passion for these intelligent beings that is still alive today.

KERRIE BEENE - CFP®FINANCIAL PLANNERA little bit about Kerrie Beene, CFP®… My own personal financial journey has taught me that while they're important, life is more than numbers. Finding joy in the journey towards personal goals is key. A smart plan with a lot of heart goes a long way to keeping daily financial decisions in line with your long term goals. I graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Business Administration and hold a certificate in Financial Planning from Wake Forest University. I began my career in financial planning by starting my own company, Beene Financial Planning. Having the desire to work as a team, I then joined Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies. My roots in Southeast Oklahoma have given me great insight on the need for financial planning that is not just investment focused, but also focused on all the other financial planning decisions. I enjoy, and work best, with those who are ready to take control of their finances and use their money to fulfill their goals and dreams. In November of 2016 I sat for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, and in May of 2019 successfully completed my experience requirements. I am now the Director of Educational Services for Rooted Planning Group. What does that mean? In addition to working as a co-planner, I also focus on: College Pre-Planning: Late stage (Freshman - Senior) college planning, seeking scholarships, estimating expected family contribution, assistance with FAFSA and asset utilization. Funding of education vehicles (i.e. 529 plans) and utilization recommendations. We have set the price for this service at $1,000. College Graduate Planning: This is for the new graduate. We sit down with them to discuss budgeting, how to negotiate salary, understand employee benefits and education benefits, review of student loans and other debt, savings opportunities and large purchase planning. We have set the price for this service at $299. We also want to continue developing the employer education services, as well as getting financial education into the schools. Grenache (Garnacha) WineGrenache (Garnacha) is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States. It is particularly versatile both in the vineyard and the winery, which may explain why it is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world. Grenache is the French (and most internationally recognized) name for the grape, but it has a number of synonyms. In Spain, where it is one of the country's flagship varieties, it is known as Garnacha, and on the island of Sardinia it has been known for centuries as Cannonau. Some believe that the grape originated in Sardinia, and was taken back to Spain by the Aragonese, who occupied the island in the 14th Century. Gnarly old Barossa Grenache vines ©Turkey Flat Vineyards In France, Grenache is most widely planted in the southern Rhone Valley and throughout both Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. It is most commonly found alongside Syrah and Mourvedre in the classic Southern Rhone Blend (notably in Cotes du Rhone wines), and is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Grenache's versatility provides winemakers with all sorts of possibilities. Grenache-based rosé is one of southern France's signature wine styles. The variety is common...

So, yeah. I’m old. I’ll be 70 years old in mid-October.I was born in 1950 to a mother who was little more than a child herself and a man—and I use the term loosely-- who already tried to kill me when I was 5 months in my mother’s womb.I grew up in Southeast Oklahoma spending much of my life around McAlester, Ada, Stigler, Shawnee, Tecumseh, Broken Bow, Antlers, Stuart and my favorite town name Bugtussle. I always wonder exactly which bugs got in a fight that was so monumental someone named a town after the battle. Of course, Bugtussle isn’t a big place. Wikipedia says it is an unincorporated community with a population of a few hundred. Few being the operative word.I met David Clemens at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station in the summer of 1967 on June 5th. I remember the day because it changed my life forever. It took me all of five minutes to recognize him as a keeper and my mate. When I proposed to him, he said, “Who said anything about getting married?” My answer was, “It will be easier if you just ask me out on a date.” He did and we’ve been together for over fifty years now.In 1994 or there abouts my husband went to a drumming circle. He thought it was all about drums. It was about Core Shamanism. A few days later after he had finished the weekend course he said, "We should get you to go to one of these courses. It's right up your alley."There wasn't a session for several weeks so we went to one in Austin, Texas for our anniversary celebration and to attend the Core Shamanism class there. It was incredible and changed my life.Since then I've taken many shamanism classes including Healing classes, Counseling classes and Earth Power classes. I have had shamanic clients and have use the shamanism in coaching and counseling. But mostly Core Shamanism is a private spiritual practice for me.I have three children Lorien (had to read The Lord of The Rings SIX times to come up with her name), Raymond and Beth. They are all unique people and brought with them to this plane of existence incredible skills, talents and love. If there are any jewels in my crown it is these three human beings who let me be their mother.I worked for many years as an LPN in labor and delivery, at nursing homes, in private doctor offices including David’s. When our youngest child was ready to start her senior year of highschool I was accepted at the University of Oklahoma College of nursing and finished my BSN and went on to finish my MSN and become a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2001.

Saddle up for a good time as Dr. Clay Cavinder rides into the studio this week to talk about the importance of horses! Transcript: Announcer: This is 4H4U2, a podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service, promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here, now your host, Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. John Long: Welcome to 4H4U2, where we talk about all things 4-H, 4-H youth development, life skills, preparation for the future, and giving back to the community. I'm your host, John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And good morning, I'm Cobie Rutherford. John Long: Cobie, how are you doing today? Cobie Rutherford: Doing well, it's Friday. John Long: Awesome. Cobie Rutherford: Football Friday. John Long: Woo-hoo! We got our first home football game, and people are already putting their tents up. So, we're getting fired up, and you and I both have our maroon on, as well as our guest that we have today. Cobie, why don't you go ahead and introduce our guest? Cobie Rutherford: Well, John, I'm happy to have our guest here today. Dr. Clay Cavinder, he's a professor in the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences here at Mississippi State. I guess, Clay, you started here about three or four months before I did, back in 2015. Clay Cavinder: That's right. January of 2015. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, time's flying, isn't it? John Long: I remember when you, I don't know what that meeting was that we were at, but that was the first time I'd seen you. I think it was in 409. But anyway, I remember meeting you that day and them telling me that you were new, so that's, ooh, four years? Clay Cavinder: Four and a half, yeah. It'll be five, five this January. John Long: So Clay, tell us a little bit... Oh, I'm sorry, Go ahead. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, no. Go ahead. I was just going to say Clay is our equine specialist, for Extension. John Long: Yes. Yes, that's good to know what he does. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I should have said that earlier. John Long: You just wandered in here and says, "Can I be on a podcast?" Cobie Rutherford: No, not really. John Long: Even though he says he's a podcast junkie, so that that's good. He feels at home here, so that's just great. Clay Cavinder: I do. It's strange to actually be a part of it. John Long: Yeah, it's awesome. Look, Clay, tell us where you're from and just how you got to be where you're at today. Clay Cavinder: Man, that's- John Long: And spare no detail. Clay Cavinder: That's a long story, but the shortened version. I grew up in a little town in Southeast Oklahoma. It's weird. Anybody ever asks me that question, and I tell them a little town, they say, "Which one?" I say, Idabel. Everybody knows where it's at. You don't go through Idabel, you go to Idabel. Clay Cavinder: So, most people, for some reason, have been there, but I grew up there, finished school and undergrad there at Oklahoma State, and then, wound up in Texas. John Long: How far is that? I'm sorry, I'm going to... How far is that from Stillwater? Clay Cavinder: That's a good ways, four and a half, five hours. John Long: Ooh, okay, great. Clay Cavinder: As far as Southeast, you can get close to Texarkana, Texas. John Long: Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry. Clay Cavinder: So, I grew up close to the Red River, and then when I was finished up schooling at Oklahoma state, wound up through a series of events, but wound up in Texas doing a PhD. And then shortly after that, finishing up, they had a spot open there on faculty. And so I wound up staying on faculty at A&M for 11 and a half years. John Long: That's awesome. Clay Cavinder: And then, I don't know, it's just kind of a God thing, really. A position opened here, and through a weird series of events where my family moved here, and I've been blessed to be here for sure, since January '15. Cobie Rutherford: Wow, that's awesome. That's good. John Long: Now, the reason I asked how far it was from Stillwater, you ever met a guy named Kevin Allen? He is- Clay Cavinder: I don't think so. John Long: Well, he's the state program leader, state 4-H program leader over there. So he and I, he used to do shootings for it, so that's how I knew him. He was at the PLN that we were at. Cobie Rutherford: And Clay, you've had some big life changing moments since you got here. I mean welcomed your daughter here in Mississippi. Clay Cavinder: They all happened in the same month, it seemed like. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Clay Cavinder: Yeah, within a six month period, we moved here in January and within four, five, six months we were, my wife was job hunting and I was starting a new career, really a new career because I hadn't ever had a formal Extension appointment, so it was a new animal for me. And in the midst of all that- John Long: Pardon the pun. Clay Cavinder: Yeah, right. In the midst of all that, our daughter was born and to make matters worse, it happened in the morning of the second day of the state horse show in Texarkana, Texas when I was in Jackson, Mississippi and she was premature. Everything's great now, but that was a scary time. I wound up being in the NICU for five weeks. Clay Cavinder: So you know, within a six-month period, you know, parents understand people who are going to be parents will understand, but new parents, it's tough. The job was nothing. Cobie Rutherford: The job is raising them. Clay Cavinder: The career change was not that big a deal. It was the, juggling all that the same time. But it's been a tremendous blessing, for sure. Cobie Rutherford: No doubt. The whole life changed just in one day almost, didn't it? John Long: Oh, man. Nothing like them. Clay Cavinder: Let me tell you a quick little story, just to tell you how great the people of Mississippi are. I was brand new, did not know hardly anybody, especially at the producers level. We were at the state horse show. Oddly enough, the second morning of the state horse show, I don't know, it just, I woke up out of sleep at the hotel about 1:00 AM and wide wake. Clay Cavinder: And I picked up my phone, like most of us do to kill some time. I was just looking at it, just to hopefully go back to sleep, and it rang. It was my wife, and I knew immediately something was wrong. And you know, of course I'd put on my pants was off to Texarkana two, three o'clock in the morning, and wound up having to call John Blanton and Dean and them guys that were at the state horse show and saying, "I won't be there. I've got some things going on." Clay Cavinder: But you know, that night I had people that I didn't even know texting me saying "We're praying for you." And the really cool thing was, people called me and told me, said, "Hey, that night at the opening ceremonies of the state 4-H horse show, they did an opening prayer and talked about your family." And I thought, "You know what, there's not many places that do that." John Long: Right. That's awesome. Cobie Rutherford: That's pretty cool. John Long: That's awesome. And good to know, everything's okay now. Cobie Rutherford: It's fine, that's great. Clay Cavinder: She's great. She's a tough one. John Long: That the only one you have? Clay Cavinder: Only one. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, okay. John Long: May end up being the only one. Clay Cavinder: Probably so. Yeah. Yeah, it took a while to get her. John Long: You know, I'm talking about if they're tough. Clay Cavinder: She is. John Long: My son's tough, and I think we wouldn't have another one, if we hadn't had the girl first. Clay Cavinder: Yeah, I love that though. It means when they get older they'll be able to take care of- Cobie Rutherford: That's right. That's exactly right. Clay Cavinder: I hope that's the theory. Cobie Rutherford: And what's her name? Clay Cavinder: Isabella. Cobie Rutherford: Ooh, beautiful name. John Long: Yeah. Beautiful name. Cobie Rutherford: So, Clay, you mentioned that you work with a 4-H youth horse show. What other kind of responsibilities do you have as the Extension specialist? Clay Cavinder: Pretty much anything that deals with equine programming in the state, whether it's at the youth or adult level, with agents, with their clientele, a number of things in that regard. And then even here on campus, a number of things that deal with the management of the horse unit here, and some... I've tried to take some student programming through the courses I teach here and kind of overlap that with Extension work in terms of getting students involved in being a part of that education process through the horses. Cobie Rutherford: That's really neat. What surprised me, as I was part of an economic analysis a few years ago in Alabama, and I always think about Alabama and Mississippi being very similar in terms of agriculture industries, but how much of an economic impact the horse industry makes in the state. John, it's a... How many, it's multimillion, isn't it? Clay Cavinder: Multimillion-dollar deal. And even beyond the state, people don't realize that, in terms of a national economy, horses bring in billions of dollars in terms of GDP. John Long: No idea. I didn't know that. I did not know that. Cobie Rutherford: It's really incredible how much, I mean just the horse people in general spend on their horses, just to maintain them and keep them. Clay Cavinder: Yeah. If you think about it in terms of comparison to beef cattle and other food commodities, you know we have to eat and that kind of thing. And so, cattle are an important thing, poultry and swine, but horses, we don't obviously have to do that. It's just the sheer enjoyment of the species that drives it. John Long: That's that almost [inaudible 00:07:55] equate it kind of the hunting. We don't have to hunt, but we do enjoy it. So it's a multimillion, multibillion or million, whatever, for our state as well. Clay Cavinder: If you look at the GDP comparison of equine businesses, it's comparable to tobacco manufacturing, even apparel. That's what's crazy to me is, we all need to or have to wear clothes, but we don't all have to contribute to the horse industry. John Long: Right. That's so cool. You know, the horses had been around for a long time and they have helped out a lot. Of course, mechanization changed a lot of that overnight, I guess, but we still enjoy our horses for sure. That's good. I'm not a horse person. I'm not saying I don't enjoy them, but I saw a picture of me on one 10 years ago, the other day. It popped up on my Facebook Memories. We were doing therapeutic riding and yeah, so that was cool. Cobie Rutherford: You know, I'm not a horse person either. I mean, I like to look at them from a distance. John Long: I've enjoyed riding them. Cobie Rutherford: If one comes up to me, I'll probably pet it, but I think my son is going to be a horse enthusiast. He's all about them. We almost bought him one, but luckily the lady backed out on us and decided to keep it herself. Clay Cavinder: You know? It's wild though. If it's in your blood, it's there. John Long: Yeah, that's right. Clay Cavinder: I tried it a few years ago, probably four or five years ago. I was kind of burned out with everything. I was dealing with my own business and my own horses. I thought, you know what, I'm done with it. Right. It's a lot of work. People don't get that part of it. They go to the horse show and think, "Wow, that's pretty, that's neat," but the work that goes into that, it's insane. Clay Cavinder: I sold out, sold everything I had, and within three months I was buying new horses again. Cobie Rutherford: It's funny how when- John Long: My friend has one that'll... I don't know, he hasn't ridden it in years, but takes he takes very good care of it. I take my kids over there, and that joker is a biter. I say, "You watch him move, his ears go back, you better look out because he's coming for you. Clay Cavinder: Well you talk about raising kids, working with horses ain't no different. John Long: Right. Clay Cavinder: I mean, it's the same training. I tell my students all the time that you can train anything, your boyfriend, your horse, whoever it may be, whatever it may be, a dog, with three simple things. That is, provide a cue, wait for a response, and then reinforce that response, and that's the truth. The other day my wife and I were sitting in the living room and she said, ""Man, it's cold in here. And before I knew it, I was turning the thermostat down. Clay Cavinder: She never told me to get up and do it, but through providing a cue, telling me she was cold, I knew what my response needed to be, and I knew how she would positively or negatively reinforce that response or lack thereof. John Long: That means get up off the couch, right? Clay Cavinder: That's right. "Hey, go turn down the air." John Long: That's right. I think you're a wise man. Cobie Rutherford: Maybe we need to start incorporating those theories into our child development. John Long: Maybe it's the same. John Long: For sure. John Long: Probably so. Cobie Rutherford: Now a child, if you want to bite your teacher, this is how we're going to negatively reinforce it. Clay Cavinder: Right. That's negative reinforcement. Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: So, Clay, as far as this 4-H horse show, kind of getting back on track a little bit, are there activities that children can participate in if they don't own the horse, at the- Clay Cavinder: Man, that's a great question. You know that's usually the stumbling block or hurdle people talk about is to expense the horses inquire, which is true, but there are so many opportunities for kids to get involved with through education, with horses, with not directly owning a horse. Clay Cavinder: Horse judging obviously is something I've been big involved in through my lifetime, and that's a huge one for life skill development. You don't ever have to own a horse, but can still be around them and still be involved in that community. And there's other things too, like hippology which is a, it's a humongous contest. It's an educational contest. Clay Cavinder: It involves some aspects of judging, education, as far as knowing different facts about horses, and then of course things like horse bowl. And yeah, there's plenty of opportunities for people to get involved, and I think it's a... even if you do own a horse, need to be involved in that. The understanding of what's going on physiologically with the horse or management-wise is definitely important. John Long: You brought up a question I had in my mind. On average, what would you say that it would be for upkeep for a horse, on average for a year. Clay Cavinder: Yeah. It's very dependable upon a lot of certain factors, but we think around $1,200, $1,500 for feed and costs, you know, maintenance. But when you start adding in other things, like boarding and you know. You've got to own a barn or board them or whatever it may be. John Long: And heaven forbid something happened, which it will, because it's an animal, for sure. Clay Cavinder: And it's a horse and it will happen. John Long: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. We've been talking about... Most folks listening to the podcast know that my wife and I are livestock people, but we've actually been talking about how expensive buying a show heifer or buying a show steer would be. And yeah, when you start putting the pencil to it and you get multiple years showing a horse, it may be less expensive to show a horse than a steer. Clay Cavinder: Well, and I think that's a fine line too. You know, people try to, not that you were doing this, but a lot of people will exclude horses from livestock species. They are definitely a livestock species. It's not a pet, but the end product is a little bit different obviously, because of the meat animal versus athletic animal, performance-based animal. Clay Cavinder: But I think what you're probably alluding to more is that, if you buy a show steer and take him to the end of his showing season, then he makes a sale, then you make money. Horses, you may keep them for 10, 12 years, because of the life expectancy in that kind of thing. Cobie Rutherford: That's a good point. And I think a lot of people have started equating horses as companion animals, instead of livestock. Clay Cavinder: They sure have. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: And I think as an Extension specialist, that's probably something you battle pretty often. Clay Cavinder: It is. And you know, people say all the time, they are a companion animal because I connect with them. Well, so is a guinea pig or a Potbelly pig. Pigs are not pets. I've seen it multiple times. A little girl has a show steer, she pets on that thing and puts bows in his hair. It does not make it a companion animal. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. Clay Cavinder: So to me, I'm defensive about that because I want to maintain the livestock production, agriculture and animal aspect of the horse business. I think that's important, or a valued thing for many of us. But I also get that people look at them as a, with a connection. John Long: And I am sure it's real easy to do that, even then with the other animals, like you say, livestock and things like that, because of the fact that they raise it, they have such a hands on experience with it, but then of course, there comes that time where you realize that yeah, that's bacon too, or whatever, a burger or whatever you want to talk about. Clay Cavinder: Well, the scarier part of it is too, for me, is that you can pet a dog and he doesn't step on your foot and break your toe. A horse is a different animal. And talking about that, that training aspect of it, every horse you meet, whether you know it or not, they ask you one simple question. That is, "Would you like me to be the boss, or would you want to be the boss?" John Long: Right. Clay Cavinder: And they're fine either way. Whichever one you choose, they're okay with it. And really, especially at the young student level, trying to get them to understand the capacity of this horse to learn something, but also to understand his train of thought. His mindset amongst his herd mates is, there is a definite hierarchy. And so we as horse owners, for safety more than anything, have to establish a clear, dominant-submissive relationship with them, that sometimes people who look at them as pets don't quite understand that aspect. Cobie Rutherford: That's a good point. Clay Cavinder: It is a good point. Cobie Rutherford: This may be turning into a parenting type thing too- Clay Cavinder: It all relates. Cobie Rutherford: ... because I keep thinking back a lot. Maybe my child identifies as all horse. He bites and kicks. John Long: The lights coming on now. Cobie Rutherford: The light's coming on. Clay Cavinder: Well, I think especially as young parents, we all, all of us, Cobie being a young parent too, is we all try to figure out, I think we're all constantly analyzing, "Well, I did this wrong here. I hope I don't scar my kid for the rest of his life," But, my wife and I were, yesterday, just talking about some parenting things we're going through and everything I do, it goes back to the horse. I'm just now after 20 years of marriage getting her not to condemn me for doing that. Cobie Rutherford: That's pretty good. John Long: Yeah. That's why I've used the analogy of training the kid's like training the lab, which we do. And it's like what you're saying, that reinforcement or the dominant-submissive. It's not to lessen the fact, how we teach, but it is a method to it. For sure. Cobie Rutherford: That's funny. Clay mentioned the hierarchy. Reason's first day of daycare at the new location, he went in and got in a fight with every kid in the class. I tried to tell my wife, I'm like, "He was just establishing the pecking order." John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: And that's something that all animals pretty much do. John Long: Youth development. Cobie Rutherford: Feral [inaudible 00:00:16:36]. John Long: That's right. John Long: [crosstalk 00:16:40] animals do that. Clay Cavinder: And there's always a bigger one out there. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Oh yeah. Clay Cavinder: They'll figure it out. John Long: I guarantee you. Cobie Rutherford: Maybe that's what we need to do, is ask them to move my child up to another class or two, see what happens there. John Long: It's going to happen soon enough. Cobie Rutherford: Soon enough. They say- John Long: My daddy would say, there's always somebody bigger. Like you said, just gotten run across him yet. Cobie Rutherford: So Clay, what's coming up in the horse world, though? Do you do anything with the state fair or have any activities there? What's going on this fall? Clay Cavinder: No, we don't have anything going on at the state fair. A lot of the horse stuff evolves around the state 4-H stuff, and with the Winter Classic, stuff goes on with these especially. John Long: When is that? When is that? Clay Cavinder: I think it starts the end of, middle of January, end of January, down in that ballpark. John Long: Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're going to have to turn the corner before we get to that. Clay Cavinder: Yeah. Yeah. And then of course we'll head into the state show. But, we do so many little things too, but people don't get, and talking about that non horse owning group, we started a program two years ago called Horse tales, T-A-L-E-S, which I think is a really cool program in which we're using the horse to go into schools to educate kids. Clay Cavinder: Actually, we're not really educating them. We're the horse as an entertainment tool. So we go into third, fourth, fifth, sixth grade level classrooms and engage the kids with horse facts, knowledge, and information. And then, it's a door of opportunity to open up to discuss all of what 4-H has to offer. So, there's kids in there. We always go, "Hey, how many of you are not interested in horses?" Clay Cavinder: And there's always those kids that aren't. "Well, if you're not, we've got shooting sports, we've got ATV classes, we've got all kinds of different robotics. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's a great point. Clay Cavinder: Tons of things that you can get involved with. So, we're using Horse tales as a tool to increase or improve a 4-H enrollment in activity at the county level. John Long: Now do you actually take a horse? Clay Cavinder: You know, I did. The first one we did, I did. It's a program that's... I created all the tools for the agents to be able to do it. Whether they know anything about horses or not, that is irrelevant. The information's there and again, it's just a tool to engage the student. But the first one I did, and we did, it took maybe an hour. I took two horses with me, talked to the students in a classroom setting, but then took them outside and let those horses engage, or let those kids engage with horses, and we talked to around 600 kids that within about an hour and a half. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, good gracious. Clay Cavinder: You should've seen these kids. Just that, being able to pet them and be around them, it really lit them up. John Long: Folks just don't understand the power of experiential learning, that hands on that we have in 4-H. I think it's just, more people can relate to that, is the fact that when you can put your hand on a horse or some... And I'll go back to Clay, who was saying that, just to get them hooked. That's what it is, really, is the horses a hook, a cow or whatever is the hook. John Long: Then we get them in, to where we can teach them those life skills that they need. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: And it's that connection that... Clay Cavinder: And if anybody's listening that is connected with a secondary school or high school or any, it doesn't matter the age group, wants us to come do something like that, I'd be happy to talk to them. Cobie Rutherford: That's awesome. John Long: Now, how can they get in touch with you? Clay Cavinder: They can start through their county office. The agent in their county should know, be engaged with that program. And then, if the agent doesn't want to come do that or in terms of, just doesn't feel comfortable with it, I'd be more than happy to come help the agent do that and put that on at the county level, but that'd be the first place. Clay Cavinder: And then maybe, maybe me secondly. But engaging their county office, that's where I would say to start. John Long: That's awesome. That's awesome. And Cobie, where can our listeners go, just to find out more information about 4-H?

About our drink: We sipped on a little homebrew from Southeast Oklahoma. We were told it was a Choc beer. There are several discussions of the origin and composition of choc beer, but the one that seems most realistic is that the name was first applied to an alcoholic drink made by the Choctaw Indians from wild plants found in what is now Southeastern Oklahoma. However, by the mid-1930’s, during the depression years, choc generally referred to any homemade, slightly alcoholic beverage. The drink was made from a variety of inexpensive raw materials, depending on availibility, and was usually barely palatable. In the Southwest, the fermenting liquid that dripped from ensilage and collected in the bottom of silos was sometimes drunk. It was also not unusual for people to collect spoiled fruit from grocery stores, put the fruit in a bucket of water, and leave it under their house porch until it fermented. Luckily, the process has been tweaked over the years so it is light, refreshing, and very drinkable. About the gear: https://shop.catholic.com/behold-your-mother-a-biblical-and-historical-defense-of-the-marian-doctrines/ (“Behold your Mother” by Tim Staples) From the cross Jesus gave us his mother to be our mother, too: a singularly holy model, consoler, and intercessor for our spiritual journey. Yet most Protestants—and too many Catholics—don't understand the role that God wants her to play in our lives. In Behold Your Mother, Tim Staples takes you through the Church's teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary, showing their firm Scriptural and historical roots and dismantling the objections of those who mistakenly believe that Mary competes for the attention due Christ alone. Combining the best recent scholarship with a convert's in-depth knowledge of the arguments, Staples has assembled the most thorough and useful Marian apologetic you'll find anywhere. He also shows how all the Marian doctrines are relevant—even essential—to a salvific faith in Jesus. From her divine maternity to her perpetual virginity, from her Immaculate Conception to her Assumption, the Church's core teachings about Mary are intertwined with the mysteries of Christ. In a word, Mary matters. Read Behold Your Mother and find out just how much.

In this Episode of Wine and Dime, I introduce a new member of Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies, Kerrie Beene. We have a nice conversation about career choices, studying for the CFP exam, college planning and of course some of our favorite wines. It was a great conversation and I know you all will love it as much as I did. Welcome to the team Kerrie!! A little bit about Kerrie Beene… My own personal financial journey has taught me that while their important, life is more than numbers. Finding joy in the journey towards personal goals is key. A smart plan with a lot of heart goes a long way to keeping daily financial decisions in line with your long term goals. I graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Business Administration and hold a certificate in Financial Planning from Wake Forest University. I passed the CFP exam in November of 2016 and I'm currently working towards my service hours. I began my career in financial planning by starting my own company, Beene Financial Planning. Having the desire to work as a team, I then joined Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies. My roots in Southeast Oklahoma have given me great insight on the need for financial planning that is not just investment focused, but also on all the other financial planning decisions. I enjoy, and work best, with those who are ready to take control of their finances and use their money to fulfill their goals and dreams.
Justin Wilson is an upbeat guy. You sense his energy from the moment you start a conversation with him. Or more likely, when he starts a conversation with you. When you learn about his life, it’s amazing to think how he can be so upbeat. But then you realize, it’s because he had no other choice. Justin Wilson is Choctaw. He grew up in Southeast Oklahoma. His father died when he was three and his mom wasn’t around much. He was living on his own at age 14. He excelled at school. He realized it was his way out of the life he experienced as a kid. Having just listened to an amazing episode of Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast Revisionist History, I knew exactly what Just meant. The episode is titled “Carlos Doesn’t Remember” and I realized that Justin was very similar. ## Subscribe to NextGen Native iTunes Stitcher Google Play ## Justin attended Oklahoma State University. It’s an understatement because he is a diehard alumnus. For a while, before he was the Advisor to the Special Trustee for Native Americans, Vince Logan, he was raising money for his alma mater. Before that, he was in medical school at the University of Oklahoma. In this episode, Justin discusses all of these events. He even opens up to discuss how attending medical school was one of his biggest mistakes. Just told me he wanted to share that story so people know that you can make mistakes, even if they are “good” mistakes, but you can still learn from those mistakes. You can walk away from the sunk cost fallacy moments in your life. It’s a fascinating conversation, especially because much of the knowledge he shares is beyond his years. Probably so because of his experience as a child. I am really impressed by Justin’s story and how he got to where he is today. There are tons of lessons to learn from his experience. Which one will you take for yourself?
Le Flore County is located along the eastern border of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The name honors a Choctaw family named LeFlore. Reports dating from the 1850´s say that Southeast Oklahoma has been a hunting ground for Bigfoot. According to stories, the area was terrorized by aggressive giants who not only stole locals vegetables to eat, but also stole their children. The Choctaw Indians were known as exceedingly strong, fierce warriors, but in 1855 they experienced something which none would ever forget. I also speak with Cato who is a member of the Nez Perce Tribe. He shares with us some stories from his family and other members of the tribe.
