Podcasts about southern plains

Send us a textThe sprawling plains of North America once thundered with the hoofbeats of countless bison and horses belonging to the Kiowa Nation – a people experiencing a golden age of cultural flourishing in the early 19th century. From their origins near the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers, the Kiowa embarked on an epic southward migration that transformed them into masters of the Southern Plains landscape.Step into this vibrant world through the story of Satanta, known initially as "Big Ribs" and later as "White Bear." Born between 1815-1820 to the revered Chief Red Tipi, Satanta entered a society of remarkable complexity. His father stood at the pinnacle of Kiowa leadership, serving both as a powerful band chief and as keeper of the Tai Mi – the tribe's most sacred object and centerpiece of their Sundance ceremony. This extraordinary heritage placed Satanta on a path toward prominence within a society structured around intricate kinship networks, spiritual power, and warrior accomplishments.The Kiowa way of life reveals sophisticated adaptations to plains existence. Their masterful horsemanship revolutionized hunting, warfare, and trade, while their deep connection to buffalo provided sustenance, shelter, and tools. Through bilateral kinship systems and a clear social hierarchy based on horse wealth and spiritual authority, the Kiowa organized themselves into bands led by prestigious chiefs from the aristocratic onde class. The spiritual world centered on Dawdaw – a sacred life force permeating all existence – accessed through vision quests and embodied in the ten sacred medicine bundles guarded by hereditary priests.Discover how this cultural context shaped Satanta's formative years and set the stage for his emergence as one of the most significant Kiowa leaders during a period of profound change and challenge. By understanding the rich tapestry of beliefs, traditions, and social structures that defined Kiowa life, we gain insight into a sophisticated indigenous society whose legacy continues to resonate in Native American history.

Every year for more than six decades, the Wheat Quality Council has sponsored a Winter Wheat Tour that criss-crosses the state of Kansas to get a mid-season update on what conditions look like in the field and what farmers, millers, and everyone in between might be able to expect from the annual crop. This year was no exception, and DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins is just back from three high impact days on the Southern Plains. Today, Jason will help us dig into the results of the tour, taking us day by day through regional conditions that vary from parched and uneven to world class. We'll talk about what he saw as far as both pests and disease for the winter crop, and what he thinks the presence or absence of either might mean for final yield figures later this year. We'll also hear who else was on the tour, and what perspectives those from across the industry shared about this year's numbers, and how they compare to those of the recent past. Finally, we'll dive into how the tour figures compare to current USDA expectations, and what still might be on the docket in the season ahead. Then we'll take a broader view of crop issues that Jason is following as we head out of planting and towards an uncertain summer.

Welcome to Episode 67 of the Hidden History of Texas – I've been discussing the 1st peoples of Texas, those who were here when the Spanish arrived and today, I'm going to discuss The Comanche, Kiowas, Tonkawas.Remember how I discussed some of the differences between the Hunter-gathers tribes (mostly nomadic lifestyle) and the farming tribes (mostly stationary lifestyle). I brought up some of the religious beliefs and how the majority of tribes embraced the idea of a supreme being or multiple gods, and they had creation stories. For agricultural tribes, various ceremonies accompanied the planting and harvesting of crops. Hunter-gatherers often sought the help of spirits before searching for game, which served as food for the tribe. One of the major tribes of hunter-gatherers was the Comanche. The Comanches started out in the Great Plains and began to migrate south due to pressure from other tribes such as the Blackfeet and Crow. It's important to remember that throughout human history, groups of people have consistently been replace by other groups who were more powerful. Eventually the Comanche ended up in Texas, where there was abundant game, a warm climate, and an animal that would eventually become almost synonymous with them, the wild mustang.The Comanche inhabited most of the South Plains including much of North, Central, and West Texas, this part of Texas was known as Comanche country, or Comanchería. Once they arrived and settled on the Southern Plains the Utes called them Komántcia, which means "enemy," or, literally, "anyone who wants to fight me all the time." However, they called themselves Nermernuh, or "the People." We know of as many as 13 different Comanche groups and most likely there were others that were never identified. Several major bands played important roles in recorded Comanche and Texas history. The southernmost band was called Penateka, or "Honey Eaters" and their range extended from the Edwards Plateau to the headwaters of the Central Texas Rivers. A band named Nokomi or “Those who Turn Back” lived in an area north of the Penateka, they roamed from the Cross Timbers region of North Texas to the mountains of New Mexico. Their range was shared by two smaller bands, the Tanima ("Liver-Eaters") and the Tenawa ("Those Who Stay Downstream") and are often referred to as the Middle Comanches. The Quahadis ("Antelopes"), roamed the high plains of the Llano Estacado. One interesting fact about the Llano Estacado is that the Southern end of the plateau lacks a distinct physical boundary; it blends into the Edwards Plateau, (in Central Texas, where this program is recorded) and the Johnson Creek branch of the Colorado River, east of Big Spring, which is most likely its boundary. The Llano Estacado comprises all or part of thirty-three Texas and four New Mexico counties and covers approximately 32,000 square miles, a larger area than all of New England. It is part of what was known to early explorers and settlers as the Great American Desert, a semiarid region with average annual precipitation of eighteen to twenty inches. The Comanche weren't the only tribe that lived in that area, the Kiowa also shared territory that was mostly in the Panhandle and Oklahoma. The Kiowas originally came from the Montana area around the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. As they migrated southward, they quickly learned to adapt to the South Plains by acquiring and using horses, especially in their hunting of buffalo. They gained their horses from the Spanish who also supplied them with slaves and guns and over time they became almost a completely nomadic group, and eventually they became one of the most feared and disliked of the Plains tribes. They entered into peaceful co-existence with the Comanche and with help from the Wichitas and Taovaya received guns and ammunition from the French and British. The Kiowa camps were designed to be broken down and moved quickly, often within 30 minutes.

In November of 1864, famed frontiersman Kit Carson picked a fight with the Lords of the Southern Plains – the Comanche. The bloody engagement that followed, known as the first Battle of Adobe Walls, saw Carson and his men outnumbered 10 to 1 against the Comanche and their allies, the Kiowa. But why? Why did Carson pick a fight with the Comanche on their own home turf? What exactly is Adobe Walls, and what did Kit Carson do with the rest of his limited time alive? How did Kit Carson die?

Send us a textWhat if the true story of resilience and struggle in American history has been overlooked for too long? Explore the harrowing journey of the Northern Cheyenne tribe after the Battle of the Little Bighorn. From the brutal winter attack on Dull Knife's village by Colonel Ranald S. McKenzie to the relentless military pursuit leading to the eventual surrender at Fort Robinson, we unravel the heartbreaking events and the courageous leadership of chiefs like Dull Knife and Little Wolf. Join us as we uncover the tribe's forced relocation to the Southern Cheyenne Reservation, a direct violation of the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty, and the subsequent challenges they faced.During the summer of 1877, the Northern Cheyenne's relocation journey led to unexpected cultural exchanges with the residents of Dodge City. These interactions challenged existing stereotypes and altered mutual perceptions. We'll discuss the stark environmental contrasts between the Northern and Southern Plains and what it meant for the Cheyenne's sense of identity and displacement. This episode delves into how these encounters questioned the very essence of a "way of life" and shaped the American historical narrative.Lastly, we reflect on the legacy of the Cheyenne Exodus and why this significant migration remains lesser-known. This story's relevance to the Great Plains and its commemoration through monuments, museums, and cultural reenactments are discussed. We're honored to be joined by James N. Leiker, author of "The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in History and Memory," who shares his profound insights into this period. Tune in for an enriching conversation that bridges past and present, shedding light on the ongoing relevance of these historical events in contemporary identity struggles and rural depopulation.Support the showReturn of the Great HuntersCattle Drives WebsiteLegends of Dodge City WebsiteOrder Books

Joe's Premium Subscription: www.standardgrain.comGrain Markets and Other Stuff Links-Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogleTikTokYouTubeFutures and options trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.It seems like a mix of positive economic indicators and challenging agricultural conditions are shaping the current landscape:US Corn and Soybean Sales: The reported decrease in net corn and soybean sales underscores a softer demand or competitive global market conditions. Japan and the Netherlands being the largest buyers indicate continued reliance on specific key markets. The ongoing sales challenges might impact pricing and farmer decisions moving forward.Flash Sales of Soybeans: The consistent flash sales to unknown destinations may hint at strategic buying interests or stockpiling tendencies among purchasers. Such movements could potentially stabilize prices or lead to speculative trading behaviors.Heat and Drought Concerns: The ongoing severe weather warnings could have a substantial impact on crop conditions and yield forecasts. Persistent heat and emerging drought conditions across significant agricultural regions like the Southern Plains and parts of the Midwest could exacerbate stress on crops, potentially leading to reduced yields and higher prices.Drought Monitor and Agricultural Impact: The worsening drought conditions in strategic agricultural zones like southern Ohio and northeast Illinois might contribute to concerns over crop health and productivity. Improvements in other regions due to recent rains provide a slightly mixed outlook, suggesting localized impacts.Record Spring Wheat Yield in North Dakota: The high yield projections for North Dakota's spring wheat are promising for supply but may press down prices further, especially if combined with broader domestic supply pressures. The presence of crop diseases like scab could affect the quality and marketability of the yield, influencing overall profitability.US Economic Growth and Inflation: The stronger-than-expected economic growth in the second quarter is a positive signal for overall economic stability. However, the high credit card delinquencies reported could indicate underlying consumer financial stress, which might impact future consumer spending and economic resilience.Monetary Policy Outlook: The expectation of steady rates in the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting followed by a potential rate cut could influence investment and spending decisions across sectors, including agriculture.Each of these factors plays a critical role in shaping the economic and agricultural landscapes, affecting everything from policy decisions to day-to-day operations for businesses and farms.
