Mary Hunter Austin was a U.S. writer known for walking throughout the American Southwest. But her life of activism was far more complicated than brief bios usually mention.

I've got two new New Mexico episodes of Photowalks all cued up for you. We leave Santa Fe for a drive north to tiny Abiquiu, pop. 200, where the beloved artist Georgia O'Keeffe had her home, in both town and the nearby Ghost Ranch. What's a visit there like? Let me show you. From Abiquiu, we continue further north, to perhaps my favorite spot in the Land of Enchantment, Taos, home to the oldest living continuous community in the United States, the Taos Pueblo, a thriving artist community and some of the best desert landscape you'll see anywhere. This is a return visit to Taos—the last time I did an episode there two years ago the Pueblo was closed, and I hadn't yet met Ruthann McCarthy, Sol Lothe or Alberto Real from the amazing Camino Real Imports shop. Ruthann is the friendly woman in the cowgirl hat who runs the Legacy Cafe in the town Plaza—her family has been in the Plaza for over 100 years and no one knows Taos like she does. Sol is the character who takes people up, up and away in his Rio Grande Balloons. He was nice enough to invite me up there for a ride in his beautiful balloon, and do a great interview from the skies. Alberto's family runs this electric curio shop, with seemingly over 1 million items—everything from sun art, hanging ristras and pottery, to lots and lots of skulls. These episodes were filmed primarily on the iPhone 16 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, with some key balloon shots on the Insta360 X4 and driving shots on the GoPro Hero 12. And ICYMI: Santa FeNorthern New Mexico, as you can see in the videos, is extra magical in late October, with beautiful fall colors, so mark your calendars for next year. I hope to be back in the spring, with visits to Las Cruces, Roswell, White Sands and more, so stay tuned. Thanks as always for watching, reading and listening.

Personal stories of pregnancy-related complications by Indigenous women are the centerpiece of a new informational campaign by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC wants to raise awareness about the high rate of pre- and post-natal complications among Native women. The effort comes just as the March of Dimes launched its own initiative to improve poor maternal care outcomes. It includes a map of "maternity care deserts", many of which are in areas with high Native populations. We'll talk about these and other efforts to improve care for pregnant Native women. GUESTS Dr. Jennifer Richards (Diné, Oglala Lakota, and Taos Pueblo), assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health Crystal Austin (Diné), director of external affairs for the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health Dr. Brian Thompson (citizen of the Oneida Nation), physician, obstetrician gynecologist, and member of the national board of March of Dimes Vanessa Sanchez (member of the Shoshone Bannock Tribes), mother from the HEAR HER video campaign Dr. Tina Pattara-Lau, maternal child health consultant at Indian Health Service headquarters

We are recasting our podcast on Smokey the Bear and our Indigenous firefighters. Help them by being safe and keeping your family safe with these safety precautions if you live in fire prone areas:*Create a fire escape planInstall and maintain smoke alarmsKeep important documents and essentials with multiple family members if you can't afford a fireproof safe:Pack an emergency kitHave a designated meeting point:Practice fire safety: Take precautions to prevent fires by keeping flammable materials away from heat sources, never leaving cooking unattended and being cautious with candles and other open flames.Our podcast for today presents the thrilling story of Hot Foot Teddy, popularly known as Smokey the Bear, who contributed immensely to our forest management practices. This marks the beginning of an enlightening mini-series on the invaluable contributions of Native Americans, Mestizo/Spanish/Latino firefighters, hot shots, and search and rescue teams to the forestry sector.In 1950, a massive fire broke out, and the Snowball Firefighter Crew from the Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico swiftly responded. During their heroic efforts to extinguish the fire, Adolf Samora, the crew leader, stumbled upon a little bear that was stranded in a tree. To their shock and dismay, they noticed that the bear's paws were severely burnt due to the raging fire. They immediately named the bear "Hot Foot Teddy" in honor of this harrowing ordeal and save. Join us as we unravel the intriguing and Untold Story of the remarkable contributions made by our brave firefighters and traditional forest management practitioners. Let us pay tribute to generations of our communities who have put their lives on the line to safeguard our forests and help us appreciate the importance of conservation and sustainable forestry practices.

Thousands of Native American Catholics are entering the 40-day time of reflection and sacrifice known as Lent. Catholicism draws criticism for its connection to oppressive Spanish colonization and for the church's role in boarding school abuses. At the same time the religion is a tradition—not to mention comfort—embraced by generations of observant Native Americans. On the holy day of Ash Wednesday, we'll hear from Native Catholics about the intersection of their faith and their culture. Photo: St. Jerome Catholic Chapel in Taos Pueblo/by Andi Murphy

Twenty-five years ago, I came across an article about Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico. Every year the Pueblo Indians who live around Taos observe "the time of being still." From December 15th to January 15th, the pueblo shuts down from the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life and observes a whole month of silent contemplation. Imagine an entire month to be still in the presence of God for the soul purpose of spending time with Him. What if we contemplated Christmas afterwards equally as intense as we anticipated Christmas before we celebrate? Today's episode includes a cameo visit with therapist and life coach Steph Cherry, and features the music of R. Carlos Nakai and William Eaton performing "Silent Night (with Navajo Chorale)."

This week David and Marina of FAME Architecture & Design have a casual conversation about their roadtrip through the southwest of the United States.

In this challenging exploration of wisdom for 21st century healers, we confront the challenges of professional burnout and the rise of artificial intelligence. This introspective journey begins with a question posed to me by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama i.e.: “Do I have a good heart?”. His question challenged me to consider the importance of a heart-based connection in healing and steers us toward a critical examination of the consequences of a healthcare system built on a bedrock of scientific materialism.Please join me as I discuss the significance of an 'education of the heart' in contrast to an 'education of the intellect.' We traverse indigenous wisdom, delve into a conversation between Chief Mountain Lake of the Taos Pueblo tribe and Carl Jung, and consider the role of radical authentic compassion in healing. We explore the concept of a 'noetic education of the heart,' and call upon the wisdom of contemplative practitioners across time including Daniel Wachapa, a renowned shaman of the Shuar tribe, and the inspiring words of Mahatma Gandhi, Rumi, Krishnamurti, William Blake, and Thomas Merton and others.We consider how we can unite heart and mind to create a more meaningful future for healers. We turn to the wise words of Thomas Berry, discuss the dangers of a soulless future, and emphasize the importance of becoming active participants in our evolutionary journey. Join us as we embark on this journey of discovery and transformation. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:03) - Exploring Wisdom for 21st Century Healers(0:14:29) - The Crisis of Burnout Among Healers(0:31:06) - Education of the Heart(0:48:19) - The Importance of an Noetic Education(0:55:38) - Educating Heart and Mind for FutureLearn more about The Healers Council at:www.thehealerscouncil.org
What made him decide to put the knife away? What was it that changed his mind about ending the abuse this way? In this final episode, we'll hear the answer. It's a remarkable story... and proof that no matter how dark the situation, there really is hope when we turn to God.
The abuse had to end. Tim went from thinking about taking his own life - suicide - to taking the life of his abuser. He prepared himself mentally and physically. He planned. He was ready. It was time... and so began the longest night of his life.
Tim grew up in a military home. It was also an abusive home. The physical and mental suffering that he with his mother and siblings endured is difficult to imagine. This is part one of a three-part story... of a father and son's remarkable journey from darkness into the light.
Our podcast for today presents the thrilling story of Hot Foot Teddy, popularly known as Smokey the Bear, who contributed immensely to our forest management practices. This marks the beginning of an enlightening mini-series on the invaluable contributions of Native Americans, Mestizo/Spanish/Latino firefighters, hot shots, and search and rescue teams to the forestry sector.In 1950, a massive fire broke out, and the Snowball Firefighter Crew from the Taos Pueblo in Northern New Mexico swiftly responded. During their heroic efforts to extinguish the fire, Adolf Samora, the crew leader, stumbled upon a little bear that was stranded in a tree. To their shock and dismay, they noticed that the bear's paws were severely burnt due to the raging fire. They immediately named the bear "Hot Foot Teddy" in honor of this harrowing ordeal and save. Join us as we unravel the intriguing and Untold Story of the remarkable contributions made by our brave firefighters and traditional forest management practitioners. Let us pay tribute to generations of our communities who have put their lives on the line to safeguard our forests and help us appreciate the importance of conservation and sustainable forestry practices.
Johnny Ortiz-Concha is a chef, artist, and the creator of /shed, an intimate, one-of-a-kind dinner project based in his hometown of Taos, New Mexico. Johnny grew up on the Taos Pueblo and dropped out of college to pursue his dreams of a career devoted to cooking and food. After working in some of the United States' most highly acclaimed restaurants for seven years, he returned to Taos and started /shed. Through the project's small-scale dinners, Johnny provides his guests with a deeper, more meaningful connection to the land, food, and culture of northern New Mexico. In this conversation, we discuss his fascinating path– from his family's rich heritage and lineage, to the first time he connected with food as a boy, to his vision for the future of /shed. We talk a lot about the importance of finding purpose and meaning in one's work, and his goal of building community through his /shed. To learn more abou /shed, visit their website or Instagram. Revist the article Johnny wrote in January 2022 for The Ranchlands Review, "Mastery."
Johnny Ortiz-Concha's journey to finding himself as a chef doesn't follow the typical career path—which has led him from the mountains of northern New Mexico to the kitchens of some of the country's most prestigious restaurants. His first job was at Alinea in Chicago when he was only 19 (and the restaurant had just earned its third Michelin star), followed by a stint at Willows Inn off the Washington coast. At 23, while working at Saison in San Francisco, he was named an Eater Young Gun. But right when his star was rising, Ortiz-Concha left it all behind to return to the area surrounding the Taos Pueblo, where he grew up, and to realize his vision for a very personal project. Shed is an intimate dinner series that's a direct expression of the wild 22-acre farm Ortiz-Concha now calls home. But as you'll hear, Shed is about more than serving a hyper-local meal. For Ortiz-Concha, it's a larger investigation into connecting how we live, what we eat, and where we're from. Learn more about becoming a Shed parciantes (member) here.

Twice 5 Miles Radio welcomes poet and journalist Juanlsidro Concha. I'm your host James Navé. This show aired first on WPVMF-Asheville and is titled The Power of Words, Dreams, and Courage. I first met Juanlsidro in the late 90s when he was a sophomore and an aspiring poet at Taos High School. Taos has always been a creativity hotbed for poets, writers, visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, and many other creatives in all disciplines. Since Juanlsidro grew up in Taos surrounded by artistic vibes, it makes sense that he'd go into the arts. Some Taos artists paint with their brushes; Juanisidro paints with his words on the page and the stage. In this heartfelt conversation, Juanlsidro, now a well-established journalist for The Taos News, talks about the ups and downs that most, dare I say all, artists go through before they find their footing. Juanisidro will move you when you listen to him talk about how he struggled out of a dark hole back into the light after the tragic loss of his child. Next, he touches on his journalistic responsibilities to his community, The Taos Pueblo. Then, of course, you'll hear Juanisidro perform a few of his poems, which is always a treat. I hope you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Happy listening.

Transcript: TROND: Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. Technology is changing rapidly. What's next in the digital factory? Who's leading the change, and what are the key skills to learn? How to stay up to date on manufacturing and industry 4.0. Augmented is a podcast for leaders in the manufacturing industry, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim, presented by Tulip.co, the manufacturing app platform, and associated with MFG.works, that is M-F-G.works, the open learning community launched at the World Economic Forum. Each episode dives deep into a contemporary topic of concern across the industry and airs at 9:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern, every Wednesday. Augmented — the industry 4.0 podcast. In episode 3 of the podcast, the topic is Reimagining Workforce Training. Our guest is Sarah Boisvert, Founder and CEO of Fab Lab Hub and the non-profit New Collar Network. In this conversation, we talk about reimagining workforce training, industry 4.0, and what do you mean by new collar jobs? Fab Labs, what skills are needed? How can they be taught? How can the credentials be recognized? What has the impact been, and where do we go from here? Sarah, how are you doing today? SARAH: I'm doing well. How are you? TROND: I'm doing fine. I'm excited to talk about reimagining workforce training, which seems to be an issue on your mind, Sarah. You are a founder yourself. You have been actively involved in advanced manufacturing. I understand part of your story is that your company manufactured and sold the Lasik eye surgery back in 1999. So you've been involved in manufacturing for a while. We're here to talk about something very exciting. You say new-collar jobs is the big focus. I know you didn't invent the term. Can you give me a sense of what new-collar jobs refers to, first of all? SARAH: Sure. It is a term that was coined by Ginni Rometty, who was then the CEO of IBM. She's now the executive chair. And it refers to blue-collar jobs that have now become digital. And so many of our jobs...if you just think about your UPS man who now everything's not on paper, it's all in a handheld tool that he takes around on his deliveries. And all jobs are becoming digital. And so I thought that Ginny's term encapsulated exactly what's happening, and the technologies that we used to use just in manufacturing are now ubiquitous across industries. TROND: You have also been instrumental in the MIT spinout project called Fab Labs. Just give us a quick sense, Sarah; what are Fab Labs? Not everybody is aware of this. SARAH: Fab Labs are workshops and studios that incorporate many different kinds of digital fabrication. So we are taking the ones and zeros, the bits of CAD designs, and turning them into things that you can hold in your hand. And it covers topics like 3D printing, and laser cutting, and CNC machining. But Neil Gershenfeld, who founded the international Fab Lab Network, likes to say the power of digital fabrication is social, not technical. TROND: You know, this brings me to my next question, what skills are needed? So when we talk about new-collar jobs and the skills and the workforce training, what exact skills is it that we need to now be more aware of? So you talked about some of them. I guess digital fabrication, broadly, is another. Can you go a little bit more into what kind of skills you have been involved in training people for? SARAH: Well, when I first started this project, I had always been interested in workforce training, obviously, because I had a manufacturing company, and I needed to hire people. And we had worked with the community college near our factory to develop a two-year curriculum for digital manufacturing. But I had in mind exactly what I needed for my own company and the kinds of skills that I was looking for. And so a lot of Fab Labs, because we have about 2,000 Fab Labs around the world, heard about this program and started asking me, "Could you make a curriculum for us?" And there were so many of them that I thought I needed to come up with something that is going to fit most of the Fab Labs. And so I interviewed 200 manufacturers in all kinds of industries and from startups to Fortune 10 and so companies like GE, and Boeing, and Apple, and Ford, as well as companies in the medical device space. What they all told me they wanted was...the number one skill they were looking for was problem-solving. And that's even more important today because we're getting all these new technologies, and you haven't got some guy in the back of the machine shop who has done this before. And we're getting machines that are being built that have never been built before. And it's a whole new space. And the second thing they were looking for was hands-on skills. And I was particularly looking at operators and technicians. They were also looking for technical skills like CAD design, AI. Predictive analytics was probably the number one skill that the international manufacturers' CEOs were looking for. And I got done, and I thought, well, this is all the stuff we do in Fab Labs. This is exactly what we do. We teach people how to solve problems. And so many of our labs, particularly in places like Asia or Africa where there was tremendous need and not enough resources, necessity is the mother of invention. And so many of our Fab Labs invent amazing things to help their communities. And I thought, well, we don't need a two-year curriculum because the need for the employers was so extreme. I thought we need something more like what we do in Fab Labs. TROND: And how can these skills be taught? What are the methodologies that you're using to teach these skills that aren't necessarily, you know, you don't need to go to university, as you pointed out, for them? But they have to be taught somehow. What are the methods you're using? SARAH: Well, I did a lot of research trying to nail that down when I got done figuring out what it was people needed in the factories. And it seemed like digital badges were the fastest, easiest, most affordable way to certify the ability of a badge earner to work with a particular skill set. And they were developed by IBM and Mozilla probably decades ago now and are used by many organizations to verify skills. And it's a credential that is portable and that you can put on your digital resume and verify. There is an underlying standard that you have to adhere to; an international standards body monitors it. And there's a certain level of certainty that the person who says they have the skill actually has it. TROND: That's a good point because, in this modern day and age, a lot of people can say that they have gone through some sort of training, and it's hard to verify. So these things are also called micro certifications. How recent is this idea to certify a skill in that digital way? SARAH: I think that these particular badges have been around for decades, and people like Cisco, and IBM, and Autodesk have been using them for quite a long time, as well as many colleges, including Michigan State, is one that comes to mind that has a big program. And they can be stacked into a credential or into a higher-level course. So we stack our badges, for example, into a master badge. And that combines a number of skills into something that allows someone to have a job description kind of certification. So, for example, our badges will combine into a master badge for an operator. And so it's not just someone who knows CAD. They know CAD. They know how to run a machine. They know how to troubleshoot a machine. TROND: So we touched a little bit on how these things can be taught. But is this a very practical type of teaching that you are engaged in? I mean, Fab Labs, so they are physically present, or was that kind of in the old, pre-COVID era? SARAH: Well, yes, we were typically physically present with COVID. This past summer, I spent a lot of time piloting more online programs. And so, for our design classes, we can still have people online. And our interns 3D-print their designs, and then they can look at them via photography or video, if it's a functional design, and see how the design needs to be iterated to the next step. Because, as you know, it never comes out right the first time; it takes a number of iterations before it works. And we just recently, this week, actually completed an agreement with MatterHackers, who are a distributor of tabletop 3D printers, to bundle their 3D printers with our badges. And so someone can then have a printer at home. And so, if you have a family and you're trying to educate a number of children, it's actually a pretty economical proposition. And they offer two printers that are under $1,000 for people who are, for example, wanting to upskill and change careers. They also offer the Ultimaker 3D printer that we use pretty heavily in our lab. And it's a higher level with added expense. But if you're looking at a career change, it's certainly cheaper than going back to college [laughs] instead. TROND: So I'm curious about the impact. I know that you started out this endeavor interviewing some 200 U.S. manufacturers to see that there was...I think you told me there was like a paradigm shift needed really to bring back well-paying, engaging manufacturing careers back to middle-class Americans. And that's again, I guess, pointing to this new-collar workforce. What has the impact been? I mean, I'm sitting here, and I see you have the book, too, but you generously gave me this. So I've been browsing some of the impacts and some of the description of what you have been achieving over the past few years. What has the impact been? How many people have you been able to train? And what happened to the people who were trained? SARAH: We've only been doing it a couple of years. And in our pilot, we probably have trained 2,3,400 people, something on that. And it's been a mix of people who come to us. Because we teach project-based learning, we can have classes that have varying levels of experience. So we have people who are PhDs from the Los Alamos National Lab who drive the 45 minutes over to us, and they're typically upskilling. They're typically engineers who went to school before 3D printing was in the curriculum. And they are adding that to their existing work. But we get such a wide range of people from artists. We're an artist colony here. And we get jewelers, and sculptors, and a wide range of people who have never done anything technical but are looking to automate their processes. And so my necklace is the Taos Pueblo. And it was designed by a woman...and her story is in the book. So I should add that the book you're referring to has augmented reality links to the stories of people. And she just was determined. She, I think, has never graduated from high school and is an immigrant to the United States. And she just was determined to learn this. And she worked with us, and now she designs in CAD, and we 3D-print the molds. And her husband has a casting company, and then he has it cast in sterling. TROND: I find that fascinating, Sarah because you said...so it goes from people who haven't completed high school to kind of not so recent PhDs. That is a fascinating range. And it brings, I guess, this idea of the difficulty level of contemporary technologies isn't necessarily what it was years ago. It's not like these technologies take years to learn, necessarily at the level where you can actually apply them in your hobbies or in the workplace. Why is that, do you think? Have we gotten better at developing technologies? Or have companies gotten better to tweak them, or have we gotten faster at learning them? Or is the discrepancy...like, this could be surprising for a lot of people that it's not that hard to take a course and apply it right afterwards. SARAH: Learning anything comes down to are you interested? It comes down to your level of motivation and determination. A couple of things, I think the programs, the technical programs, and the machines have become much easier. When I started in the laser business, every time that I wanted to make a hole, I would have to redesign the optical train. And so I'd have to do all the math, so I'd have to do all the advanced math. I would have to put it together on my bench, and hopefully, it worked, and tweak it until I got the size hole I needed in the material I needed. Today, there's autofocus. It's just like your camera. You press a button; you dial in the size hole you want, and away you go. And it's interesting because many of the newer employees at our company Potomac Photonics really don't have the technical understanding that I developed because they just press the button. But it moves much faster, and we have more throughput; we have a greater consistency. So the machines have definitely improved tremendously in recent years. But I also think that people are more used to dealing with technology. It's very rare to run into somebody who doesn't have email or somebody who isn't surfing the web to find information. And for the young people, they're digital natives. So they don't even know what it's like not to have a digital option. I think that a number of things have come together to make that feasible. TROND: Sarah, let me ask you then this hard question. I mean, it's a big promise to say that you can save the middle class essentially. Is it that easy? Is it just taking one or two courses with this kind of Fab Lab-type approach, and you're all set? Can you literally take someone who feels...or maybe are laid off or feels at least not skilled really for the jobs they had, the jobs they want, and you can really turn them into highly employable in a matter of one course? Has that really happened? SARAH: In one course or one digital badge, it is possible to get some jobs, but it probably takes a combination of courses in order to have the right skill set because it's typically not one skill you need. It's typically a combination of skills. So to run the 3D printers, for example, you need CAD design. You need to understand design for 3D printing. And then you have to understand how to run the machines and fix them when they break. So it's probably still a more focused and condensed process. So you could do our master badge, which comprises five or six badges, and get a job in six months for about $2,000. With one class, you could get a job part-time and continue the other badges and be paying for school while you're working in a field that is paying a substantial increase over working at McDonald's. TROND: So give me a sense. So this is happening, in your case, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Where do we go from here? Is this going on anywhere else? What are the numbers? How many people are being trained this way? How many people could be trained this way? How easy is the approach you're taking to integrate and scale up? And is it happening anywhere else? SARAH: Our non-profit, which is the organization that issues the badges, has, right now, I think, 12 or 13 members, and they were part of our pilot, and they are all over the country. So in my team, Lemelson, the Fab Lab in El Paso, the Fab Lab in Tulsa, MakerspaceCT in Hartford, Connecticut. And so we have a group that just started this year was when I started the scaling after, I was really pretty confident that it was going to work. If it worked in Santa Fe, which is a small town and in a very rural, very poor state, I really thought if I could make it work here, we could make it work anywhere because there are a lot of challenges in our state. So we started scaling this year, and each of our pilot sites is probably putting through their first cohort of 4, 5, or 6 badges, and they each have about 10 in that first cohort. We have a lot of requests for people to join our group and start issuing the badges. I've really come to see the success of our online program. And so, our online program is instructor-led at this point. And I'm working to create a self-directed program that people could do online with a tabletop printer at home. But we will still continue to scale the New Collar Network that actually disseminates the badges. And I really see enormous interest. As you know, college enrollment has been declining for the last ten years. There has been an 11% decline in college enrollment. And people are looking for alternatives. And I think that I've had requests from school systems. I had a request from a school system back East that has 45,000 students that they want to get badges. We have had a request from a school system in the Midwest where they get a lot of teachers who are getting 3D printers, and they don't know what to do with them. And they'd like for us to train the teachers. So I really see a huge opportunity. And these tools that we're using are not just being used in manufacturing. One of the people that we worked with on the HR side in research was Walmart. And their big worry is now they're putting in these janitorial robots. And their big dilemma is who's going to program them, and who is going to fix the robots when they're not working? And it's everywhere. It's not just am I going to get a job at that manufacturing company? It's also your local retail store. TROND: Fantastic. This is very inspiring. I thank you so much for sharing this with us. And I hope that others are listening to this and either join a course like that or get engaged in the Fab Lab type Network and start training others. So thanks again for sharing this. SARAH: Oh, it's a pleasure. It's a real mission, I think. [laughs] TROND: Sounds like it. Have a wonderful rest of your day. SARAH: Thank you. TROND: You have just listened to Episode 3 of the Augmented Podcast with host Trond Arne Undheim. The topic was Reimagining Workforce Training. Our guest was Sarah Boisvert, Founder, and CEO of Fab Lab Hub and the non-profit New Collar Network. In this conversation, we talked about reimagining workforce training, industry 4.0, and what you mean by new-collar jobs and Fab Labs; what skills are needed? How can they be taught, and how can the credentials be recognized? What has the impact been, and where do we go from here? My takeaway is that reimagining workforce training is more needed than ever before. The good news is that training new generations of workers might be simpler than it seems. Practical skills in robotics, 3D scanning, digital fabrication, even AR and VR can be taught through experiential learning in weeks and months, not in years. Micro certifications can be given out electronically, and the impact on workers' lives can be profound. Thanks for listening.

This week I had the pleasure to talk with Coach Bruce Gomez. He is the head cross country coach at Taos High School in Northern New Mexico. He's been at it for over 35 years and has coached some of the best runners in the state, with multiple state champions and championships. We talk about his own running, getting started as a kid and how it was just part of the culture for him. We talk about his start in junior high with more organized running and continuing into college. We talked a little about coaching and teaching, including a little about a Native American Studies class he taught. He also talked about participating in the1980 Tricentennial run to commemorate the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Runners retraced the path of the original runners, starting from Taos Pueblo. The book, Indian Running, discusses it and gives some history as well. Bruce is a New Mexico Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame Member and I just can't speak enough about how much respect I have for him and the program he has built over the past 35 years. I'm honored to have been able to share some of his story and I hope you enjoy it. The heat just keeps coming. Take care to get your runs done early and be smart with your fitness. Stay hydrated, be kind, and keep running, New Mexico.

Like many of us, Tom Sequist had no idea what was about to happen as he began his new job as chief medical officer of Mass General Brigham hospital system in Boston during the first weeks of 2020. Through his position, he saw firsthand how Covid-19 tore through low-income communities like Chelsea, just north of Boston. From 2,000 miles away, he also saw how the virus ravaged the Taos Pueblo tribe in New Mexico that he is a member of. This week, Sequist talks about Indigenous health disparities, and the ways in which these two communities, which can feel worlds apart, were similarly vulnerable to the pandemic's deadly nature.

First, Nate and Luc's discuss their history and review their first day of travel, which leads to an exciting talk about traveling and sightseeing by train. Nate then engages in an I'd Rather Be Right Tradition of talking down to a group, in this case, Montanans. Then they talk about how weird bitcoin people can be with their anti-mask tendencies and vaccine reservations. Then Nate drops knowledge bombs about the mRNA vaccine while debating what's worse, long-haul covid or a shot of the vaccine which leads to Luc and Nate making fun of people who say our immune system is enough without the vaccine. Then the guys compare and contrast the differences in how conservatives and liberals are dealing with this pandemic which leads to how they deal with wearing masks now that they're both vaccinated. The guys then shift topics and discuss what makes New Mexico special. The guys recount the time Luc found out one of Nate's favorite cities was ABQ. Nate then goes into the story about why this is so and Luc explains why he enjoys New Mexico and Nate goes on to recount his story of going to the Taos Pueblo in Taos, New Mexico, and how it touched him and this leads Luc to talk about his favorite thing to do on his long mountain runs. Trust us, this all connects. This all leads to a long discussion on ancestors and our shared history, first, with Nate reminding the audience about how brutal our ancestors were and this leads to a discussion about slavery and how 'old times' were only three people ago. Then Nate jumps on his historical soap box, as he is want to do, and talks about how the founding fathers felt about slaves and dives deep on George Washington; this leads to the guys shared natural hate of Robert E Lee and mocking people who stormed the capital and followed Trump. Luc then needs a break and Nate guesses what his answer would be to a question. This leads to the biggest shared question the guys want to resolve this weekend in Miami: just who the fuck are bitcoin people? This leads to the guys discussing what they're interested in finding and experiencing at the Bitcoin conference and the danger the conference poses to the conference attendees. The guys then get into why many people misunderstand bitcoin, specifically, because of its inherent multi-disciplinary nature. This leads to a discussion about bitcoins Layer 1 & Layer 2 and Eth vs. Bitcoin. Luc then attempts to explain what makes bitcoin decentralized and what that means in relation to Amazon & Facebook. Nate then gives some homework to help understand bitcoin, namely understanding how the internet works, and that suggests you should buy bitcoin (insert Luc sarcastically shouting "shocking!"), so you begin to learn how it works. The guys then wrap up the pod with why Nate came out to Miami and update on what they'll be doing this week. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/idratherberight/message
In 1970, the Republican president Richard Nixon signed a bill returning a sacred lake to the people of Taos Pueblo in New Mexico. The lake, and surrounding land, had been taken from the Taos people in 1906 and turned into a national forest, even though it was central to their centuries-old cultural rituals and beliefs. The return of the lake was the first time the US government had given land back to a Native American community. Louise Hidalgo talks to Laura Harris and her mother LaDonna Harris, who with her senator husband helped the Taos people get the Blue Lake back.

Under colonization, traditional forms of inclusive, consensus-based Native American governance were systematically replaced with Western forms of centralized, top-down leadership. Women, who once held an integral role in the political processes of many tribal nations, were pushed out or marginalized. Then, LaDonna Harris came along. Working with Indian societies to restore self-determination, and working with the federal government to improve the efficacy of tribal sovereignty, Harris has done much to revitalize traditional modes of tribal leadership, including for women. Harris would be the first to deflect credit away from herself, because all her work has been rooted in collaboration and any success she has achieved is because of the kinds of people she has brought together. Her work has been a model for inclusive, participatory leadership. And that model of leadership is what we will be talking about on this podcast edition of Circle for Original Thinking. In working within and between tribes, and between tribes and the federal government, Harris has effectively collaborated with non-Natives, gaining support for important causes, beginning with her husband, Fred R. Harris, a powerful senator from Oklahoma in the 1960s and 1970s, who was chairman of the Democratic National Committee in the late 60s and a candidate for the presidency in the 1970s. LaDonna Harris went on to recruit many non-Native allies and to mentor them in Indian ways of leadership that are not only effective for Indian causes, but could be effectively utilized in mainstream politics. Harris first met political scientist and author Stephen Sachs in 1990. Sachs was invited to her home after a political gathering and found her warmth and hospitality so intoxicating that he found it nearly impossible to leave. Reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains from Casablanca, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship—and also the beginning of a beautiful collaboration on a wide range of issues pertaining to traditional Native American ways of building respectful relationships and its potential application to contemporary political and social issues. Join us as we explore Native American leadership and the art of collaboration with LaDonna Harris and Stephen Sachs. “The dictionary definition of leadership is ‘a person who has control over others.' That's not right…Leadership is about bringing people together so they can solve problems … then reinforcing their identity so they feel strong enough about themselves so they (the group) can make their own decisions in a collective manner” ~ LaDonna Harris _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015). Parry is an educator, ecopsychologist, and political philosopher whose passion is to reform thinking and society into a coherent, cohesive, whole. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently the director of a grass-roots think tank, the Circle for Original Thinking and is debuting this podcast series of the same name in conjunction with Ecology Prime. He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Stephen Sachs is an applied philosopher and Professor Emeritus of Political Science, (Indiana University-Perdue University-Indianapolis) who has worked on American Indian and International Indigenous Issues since 1984 as well as other issues of participatory democracy. In 1990 he connected with LaDonna Harris, who became his friend, mentor, thinking partner and collaborator on many of the issues he was working upon, as well as his writing about them. With guidance from Harris as elder and editor/mentor, Sachs was the lead writer and coordinating editor for the book Recreating the Circle: The Renewal of American Indian Self-Determination (University of New Mexico Press, 2011, reprinted in 2020). This work was a holistic consideration of returning Indian Nations to effective sovereignty, self-sufficiency and harmony, which was the forerunner of the new book Honoring the Circle: Ongoing Learning from American Indians on Politics and Society, a collaboration with 12 different writers including Donald Grinde, Bruce Johansen, Sally Roesch Wagner, Betty Booth Donohoe, et al) soon to be released by Waterside Publications. Sachs has also been the first Coordinating Editor and now Senior Editor of the journal Indigenous Policy for 20 years, and has been the Coordinating Editor of the Nonviolent Change journal for 39 years, and he was the Coordinating Editor and Senior Editor of Workplace Democracy for about 20 years. Sachs received his MA and PhD in Political Science at the University of Chicago. In the 1980s, he began to be pulled into certain American Indian spiritual ways and ceremonies. This and other cross-cultural interests led to his meeting with Harris and their continuing collaboration. LaDonna Harris has been a catalyst in the development of Indian affairs for the past five decades. Her career began in her native state of Oklahoma, where in 1965, she brought together over 500 Native Americans from across the state to address the salient issues in their communities. Out of that seminal meeting, Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity (OIO) was formed and Harris was elected president along with 41 directors that read like a roll call of Oklahoma tribes. In the Johnson administration of the 1960s, Harris, working sometimes with her husband Senator Fred Harris, and also with a group of American Indian leaders, many of them women, became a prominent presence on the national political scene. In 1968, she got President Johnson to agree to establish the National Council on Indian Opportunity, of which the main purpose was to shift American Indian politics toward representative input from Indian Nations. After Johnson decided not to run for reelection, Harris continued to work successfully with the incoming Nixon administration, partnering with Native leaders such as Ada Deer (Menominee), Pat Locke (Yankton Sioux), and Alma Patterson (Tuscarora), among many others. She and her partners succeeded in keeping Indian issues on the national political agenda from the 1960s to the 1990s. Among a long list of accomplishments, they succeeded in returning Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo people, formed the Council of Energy Resources Tribes (CERT) to empower tribal nations to take control of their energy resources, and worked with the EPA to give input to Native nations in helping establish their own environmental policies. The key factor in Harris' success has always been her ability to bring together the right people and representatives from virtually all positions to talk through any given issue, help the parties understand each other's concerns, and reach consensus on a policy proposal. Her most overarching accomplishment may have been her concerted effort to develop true government to government relations between the tribes and federal, state, and local governments and agencies. Although much work remains to be done, Harris efforts have had an undeniably lasting impact. Nearly every initiative that has improved relations between Indian nations and the federal government since 1968 was previously advocated by Harris. In 1979, Ladies Home Journal named Harris as both Woman of the Year and Woman of the Decade, heralding her leadership and activism for overcoming inequalities imposed upon Native peoples. Since leaving Washington in the 1990s and moving to New Mexico, Harris main work has been with Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), an organization she founded in the 1970s. While she remains president of AIO, her daughter Laura Harris took over the position of Executive Director nearly twenty years ago, carrying on their mission to advance the cultural, political, and economic rights of Indigenous peoples in the United States and around the world. _______________________________________________________________ Traditional native flute music by Orlando Secatero from Pathways CD.Liberty song by Ron Crowder, Jim Casey and Danny Casey _______________________________________________________________ Feature image photo credit: Jackson David via Pixabay The post Native American Leadership and the Art of Collaboration appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Sangre De Cristo Mountains above TaosThis newsletter is now a podcast too. I will send an email when the podcast is available on all podcast platforms. I also have a donate button on the bottom of this post.I have often felt confused in my life about how I fit into the world as an artist. Or in simpler terms, how my ideals can coexist with a world that is inevitably not ideal. Partly, the confusion I feel is about finding my place, my work. While I know what matters to me, I've had a hard time actualizing it.This poem, from my Body of Water manuscript, is my way of writing about this confusion. It was written when Anna and I were driving around in our car in Northern New Mexico, looking for a place to live in Taos. We slept in canyons and closed campgrounds and somehow it was cold and rainy almost every day; which, at 7,000 feet, when your car is packed with your worldly belongings, is not the ideal situation. It means dealing with wet gear on top of socks, boxes, and kitchen stuff.Looking back, it was just a month or so of this kind of situation before we found a small adobe apartment in Talpa, a spot in the road just outside of Taos. But for some reason, when enmeshed with the difficulty of finding a place time seems to drag, and everything feels impossible. Nowadays, I am still not sure what my path is towards offering something. I think I hit on it when trying to understand my confusion in this poem: I want to be someone who goes out into the larger world, then comes back to the human realm with something to offer. And maybe the offering will only be who I become. There is a saying in Buddhism and probably in other places: the messenger becomes the message.Confusion is a kind of loop. So what do I come back to again and again? The idea that I want to be a steward of something. Just a caretaker. Not to leave a permanent, indelible mark, but to maintain something, even restore something—heal something. Then be ready to pass it on to the next person, place, animal. Again, and again, and again. But how do I do that with no money, no platform, no place particularly in mind? Being in community seems to be part of it. But to have a home, a place, and somewhere to steward isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s not that I want to start some kind of foundation. I just want some kind of living space on the edge of a field, with trees behind, and a stream nearby, that I take care of. Maybe a place people can come by and feel at peace in. And then, to be able to work on writing, and to make enough money in an ethical way. That’s the entire goal. This poem also has notes of pain and chaos—about a murder that happened down the road from our little apartment, about the barbed wire people relentlessly string and layer everywhere to protect their property, and the dogs that will chase and attack you if you get too close—all done to protect what people have worked hard for.Yet for me, I don’t desire protection of my hard earned work. I want my work to be open to all, accessible to all, free for all. I don’t want to profit off my hard work, or protect it.That’s what I have to say about this poem.Reader Note: Please flip your phone to wide orientation, or read on a laptop for proper line breaks.Taos means Red Willow. The people of Taos Pueblo call themselves The Taos People, and a long time resident of Taos in general is called a Taoseño.

Joan Cerio welcomes spiritual teacher Beth Hin to the show. At an intricate time such as the current global covid-19 period, our lives are challenged to revert to historic patterns, to dwell in fear, to push forward, or to transform into a new understanding which includes past wisdom, discernment, courage, and willingness. Beth speaks about this in a contemplative, inclusive, positive, and heartful way. President of the White Rose Foundation Elizabeth Anne Hin's life has been aware of attention to the spiritual, moral and humane development of all beings, including her own. Beth has studied the world's spiritual and cultural traditions for five decades. She was mentored by many renowned traditional tribal Elders of several continents, including Moses Peters of the Kutchin Athabascan, Martha Neck of the Y'upik Eskimo, Thomas and Fermina Banyakya and Dan Evehema of Hopi. Other beloved Elders have included Jojay and Frances Suazo of Taos Pueblo, Zulu High Sanusi Credo Mutwa of South Africa, Falasha Rabbi Ambrose Makuwaza of Zimbabwe, Archbishop Menuard 'Doc' Slusher, Vietnamese Thien Abbot Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, and revered scholar Dr. Huston Smith. Beth was chosen for formal adoption by Seneca Iroquois Grandmother Twylah Nitsch, who named her, 'She who listens to truth.' Her late parents, grandmothers and others, raised her to a code of education, joy of life and moral service for which she is deeply grateful and quietly content. Through the White Rose Foundation Beth had offered education and service from 1995 to the present in almost 50 nations on all continents except Antarctica, sponsoring lectures, seminars, retreats, scholarships for youth, and more. The White Rose Foundation also addresses cases of charitable need for families, couples, individuals and regions. Her website is http://www.thewhiterose.org.
[Interview starts at 37:18] This week, the podcast is about native trout, specifically the Rio Grande cutthroat of New Mexico. It's the story of two communities, one a small New Mexico town and the other the Taos Pueblo tribe, told by Toner Mitchell of Trout Unlimited, and Talisa Puentes Ortega, a biologist who worked on the project with the Taos Pueblo. In the Fly Box this week, we have lots of questions, as usual, including: Can I use Dragon Tails for trout spey? Can I use scaled down versions of classic salmon and steelhead for trout? Can I fix a cut in my 5-weight line? Do you ever wish you could go back in time and fish a particular river? Why do people often recommend different flies for tailwaters as opposed to freestone rivers? How should I rinse my Clearwater reel after fishing in salt water? Do creek chubs in a river indicate the absence of trout? Should I boil my leaders to straighten them? My buddy and I caught nice bass on small nymphs while fishing for sunfish. Is this a fluke? What are your recommendations for wet wading gear? I bought a hen cape and realize it's not good for dry flies. What can I use it for? What rod should I get for going after carp, smallmouths, steelhead, and Pacific salmon?

We interview Tom Sequist, Chief Quality and Safety Officer at Partners HealthCare in Boston, and a member of the Taos Pueblo tribe in New Mexico.
By Davy Crockett 1893 Native American Relay in Taos, New Mexico For centuries, many Native Americans were known to be outstanding long-distance runners who could run ultra-distances. Their talents were used in important roles to carry messages and news to distant communities. One of the most famous ultra-messaging events took place in 1680 when a very coordinated system of message runners were dispatched from Taos Pueblo, in present-day New Mexico to Hopi Villages in present-day Arizona, nearly 400 miles away, to coordinate a successful, simultaneous, revolt involving 70 villages against their Spanish oppressors. In the 1860s a Mesquakie runner in his mid-50s ran 400 miles from Green Bay, Wisconsin to the Missouri River to warn another tribe about an impending attack. Such runners would dedicate their lives to this role of being an ultrarunning messenger. As Native American Talents became more widely known by Anglo-Americas, competitive wagers arose to prove their capabilities. In 1876 “Big Hawk Chief” ran 120 miles within 20 hours accompanied by an observer on a horse. In the early 1900s gifted ultra-distance runners were known to be among the Hopi, Yaqui, Tarahumara in Mexico, and the Seri of Tiburon Island in the gulf of California. The Hopi had been known to cover 130 miles within 24 hours. The Native American runners occupied a central role in ultrarunning during the early twentieth century. Sadly this fact has largely been forgotten or overlooked. In 1927, a 480-mile race took place on the California/Oregon Redwood Highway that received intense daily attention in newspapers across America. This article will provide the detailed story for the first time of that historic, forgotten race. Plans for the 1927 Redwood Indian Marathon By 1921, the running talents of the Native Americans were being noticed. The Los Angeles Herald, suggested, “If the Olympic commissioners want to find an Olympic Marathon runner who can beat the world, it might be a good scheme to look the Indian reservations over.” By 1926 In Arizona, “Indian Marathons” started to become features at local fairs and festivals. One such race was organized in Phoenix, running 25 miles from downtown to the fair grounds. “Only Indians who, in former days, ran over hot desert sands for various tribal missions will be called upon to appear in the race. The Hopi and Navajo Indian runners will serve as one of the best advertising features of the affair.” Soon this idea spread, to link exhibitions of Native American extreme running with national events. In 1927, with all the recent national attention to Native American runners, including the Tarahumara who were coming to run in Texas, the Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco conceived of a marketing idea to focus on the newly constructed highway stretch called the “Redwood Highway.” This new stretch of mostly dirt road went from San Francisco, California on Highway 101 to Crescent City California, and then east on Highway 199 to Grants Pass, Oregon, weaving through dense forests of redwood trees. In order to get more attention to the highway, and fill hotels along the way, they had a pretty brilliant idea to hold a “Redwood Marathon” foot race on the highway stretch. To gain even more media coverage they wanted to exploit the “Indian runner frenzy” at that time by limiting the entrants to Native Americans. Oregon Cavemen at the Oregon Caves in 1926. Members promoted Grants Pass tourism by dressing in animal skins. In March, Clyde Edmunson, the manager of the Redwood Empire Association, announced that a 480-mile race would be held in June and that a dozen Indian tribes had agreed to enter runners for prizes of $2500. (This was a stretch, because no tribes had actually committed.) In Oregon, The “Caveman Association” of Grants Pass, a club of civic boosters, also jointly sponsored the idea and they claimed that the event would be “the longest race of its kind in history.”

When my wife and I first met, and we were dating, it became very clear, early on, that we handled conflict differently. What would pique my interest and get me excited for a hard conversation would get her blood pressure up and have her running for the hills. I would want to engage, she would want to escape. I would want to investigate, she would want to ignore at all costs. After meeting her family, I recognized that we had very different upbringings. My father was famous for stopping a conversation in the middle of dinner to pull me aside and correct what I had just done or said inappropriately. It was awkward for 5 minutes, but it addressed the issue and we moved forward not carrying anything with us. Elyse was more comfortable with skirting the conversation, trying to brush it under the rug and get out of the dinner unscathed. That’s what she would consider “success.” She was a peace-keeper (just wanting to keep the peace) and I was a peace-maker, (just wanting to do anything in my power to fix it immediately). As you can imagine, early in our relationship we had to figure this out. It was impossible for me to argue with someone that refused to argue. It was like arm wrestling with a wet noodle. It wasn’t fun because she’d give up and go silent… Ostrich-mode—Head in the sand. How can you argue with that? I didn’t think my goal was to necessarily “WIN” but to at least have a hard conversation and make both of our points, and eventually compromise. My dad told me in my early teen years that “soul mates” aren’tfound, they’reformed. Compromise and collaboration are the keys to a happy marriage (and a happy “anything”—for that matter). It was important teaching for a young man that’s looking for THE ONE… Someone to fulfill all my wildest dreams. Someone that’s beautiful and creative and spontaneous and wholesome and exotic and loving… I stopped looking for the finished product and started looking for the raw materials (knowing full-well that I was in my unpolished, raw-material state as well). And I found her. And 12 years later, we’re more in love than ever. Something I knew early on that needed to be addressed was my unhealthy appetite for conflict and confrontation. And in counseling over the past few years, I realized that it was because I had a tendency to “WIN” these confrontations… Or at leastTHINK i won them. I had the ability to out-talk people and make a few good points (however random they needed to be) and then I’d win. Who wouldn’t start liking confrontation if they got into the swing of “winning” them? But what I recognized was that this sort of abrasive, in-your-face type of handling difficult conversations was obnoxious, and not productive. And actually, stemming out of a place of meNOT being OK with unresolved tensions. The reason I’d step up to the plate to address things immediately was because I needed resolution. Elyse was more comfortable with giving things space, and needing time to process things. And… Truth is—A lot of times that can work. People step away from the table and get perspective, then come back together with a renewed grace about them. I needed to learn to engage with hard conversations however the other parties needed to engage. The “rules of engagement” needed to be mutually agreed upon. If they needed margin and space to process, I had to be OK with that. At the same time, they had to be willing to share their opinions that they’d rather keep quiet. On our honeymoon, we were in Eagles Nest, New Mexico. Our friends had a summer home on the side of a mountain there, and it seemed like the perfect place to get away from everyone and celebrate our marriage. During one of our day trips, we went to the Taos Pueblo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. In one of the little homes there, an older Native American woman named “Chile Flower” was selling Native American wedding vases. They’re basically a small water jug with two spouts out of the top, pointing in opposite directions (one for the bride, one for the groom), then they’re connected with a little bridge of ceramic. She told us all about the tradition of these vases, and how on the day of the wedding, the vase is filled with holy water and given to the bride. She drinks from one side and the groom drinks from the other. This ceremony is equivalent to the exchanging of wedding bands. Chile Flower went on to tell us the most important part, that many of the tourists don’t know… That you keep the wedding vase in a visible part of your home, and if you’re ever in an argument, you sit down across from your spouse, and you each hold your side of the vase. And you argue well. You say what you need to say, while holding this symbol of commitment and covenant. When there’s a mutual commitment to unity between two parties, hard conversations suddenly lose the anxiety that typically surrounds them. If you’re able to say, “Hey, we need to talk about this, but we both agree that this isn’t going to be a relationship shattering thing…” it suddenly loses its’ power over us. And then of course you can share your opinions and fears and worries without fear thatTHISis going to affectTHAT. In fact, I think it’s only when the small things aren’t addressed continually that they grow into things thatCAN affect the whole thing. And this is true outside of marriages, of course. This is true of every type of relationship. Friendship, working relationship, within a church community or a gym community… This past weekend I had a hard conversation with our church. Over the course of a few years, our overall giving was down and the budget was reflecting that. After crunching some of the numbers, we realized that 40% of our church wasn’t giving. They weren’t contributing financially at all. It would be like a small business of 10 folks trying to make a difference in the world, but 4 of them are just hanging out in the break room for the free snacks. So as a leader in our church family, I wanted to share that with everyone. I wanted to illuminate the facts without shaming people. I wanted to challenge people and ruffle them just enough to hopefully motivate them to begin contributing. It was one of those things that’s supposed to be 10 minutes long and ends up being 20 minutes long. It was a bit uncomfortable but it was surrounded by humility and grace, and we saw a great response. We saw 15-20 new families begin giving right away. Again, it’s not about the money at all, it’s about people’s hearts being where their treasure is. It’s about people beginning to feel a sense of ownership over what we’re doing together. And it was good. A necessary, hard conversation that resulted in fruit. Immediately following that, we went over to a friend’s house that has a beautiful pool and a great place to all hang out.. And the conversation turned from light-hearted stuff to how the Church has handled the LGBT community—poorly from every perspective. A hard conversation. Sometimes it’s an impossible conversation. How do you embrace and Disciple an entire group of people that certain church members deem sinful? I personally believe it’s the furthest thing from “Black and white” to discuss… It’s not dualism. Right or wrong, black or white, sinner or saint. It’s 50 shades of gray between. (BTW, i’m redeeming that phrase. Screw those books. I’m using it!) It’snon-dualism. It’s person to person, story to story, life to life. And we have a lot of LGBT folks in our church, and I love it. But people with more traditional backgrounds or conservative upbringing… it challenges them. And I think it makes all of us better. Whether it’s racism, or politics, or different interpretations of the Bible… We have differences that we still feel are “tribal” and set up the “US VS. THEM” mentality. And that’s exactly what darkness would want. Isolation, building up walls, introducing yet another Caste system, a hierarchy… Labels and stereotypes and everyone in convenient little boxes. I think that’s the furthest thing from what God wants for us. I believe that—armed with enough humility and commitment to unity—we are able to talk about anything with anyone. And we should. We need to do the hard work of establishing the Rules of Engagement… so that no one is blind-sided, and so that no one fights unfair. And then we talk. We humbly submit our perspectives to one another, and recognize that there are a thousand different factors playing into how we arrived at the perspective… And recognize that none of us have “arrived.” Every time I have a hard conversation, I’m reminded of the 50 shades of gray in it all… In everything. We love approaching life like it’s apaint by number. “All the 5s are green, all the 3s are red…” But I think God is much more interested in watercolor, where it all blends together, and interacts with one another, and typically only makes sense when you step back and see the whole picture. I love you guys… Thanks for listening, make it a good day.

Mark Gordon, Director/Writer Awakening In Taos is a labor of love for Director/Writer Mark Gordon. He fell in love with the Mabel Dodge Luhan story years ago when he readEdge of Taos Desert and realized that bringing this story to a wide audience through PBS was his personal calling. Since then he has dedicated himself to doing everything possible to successfully complete this production. Mark has been in filmmaking since childhood. His uncle Phillip Krasne produced The Cisco Kid movies and television seriesO’Henry Playhouse for CBS, Gunsmoke and numerous films and TV shows. Mark Gordon is a fine artist, graphic designer, photographer, web developer, and independent filmmaker. He is CEO of Vision Marketing Associates. AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY FEATURE “AWAKENING IN TAOS” MAKES PASADENA DEBUT AT RED NATION INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, NOV 16 Film tells the story of social activist and patron of the arts Mabel Dodge Luhan, and her marriage to Tiwa Indian Tony Lujan of Taos Pueblo: “A woman 100 years ahead of her time” “Awakening in Taos”, an award-winning film by Mark Gordon and narrated by Ali MacGraw will screen at this year’s Red Nation Film Festival on Friday November 16, at 6 PM at the LAEMMLE PLAYHOUSE 7, 673 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101 The timing of this film’s release is serendipitous with major stories in today’s news including the nomination of a Woman President and the conflict in North Dakota. This story is set almost one hundred years ago and it involves a strong independent woman who marries a Native American and fights with his tribe to protect 600,000 acres of sacred tribal land from private sale to squatters. Like the Standing Rock Sioux, their sacred sites are desecrated and their religious practices are threatened. Taos Pueblo fought for 64 years for the return of 48,000 acres and their sacred Blue Lake, granted to the tribe by Spain in the 1500’s. It was illegally annexed as part of a National Forrest under Teddy Roosevelt. After filing many civil suits against the US Government Taos Pueblo finally succeeded by filing a First Amendment rights suit. This case was won on the right of religious freedom violated by the US Government, as they prevented the tribe from observing sacred spiritual practices. In 1970, Richard Nixon signed legislation, the first instance in history where the US Government returned Native land taken illegally. Perhaps there is a message in this story that could help the Standing Rock Sioux get the US Government to honor its original treaty with the Sioux! “Awakening in Taos” follows the personal evolution of Mabel Dodge Luhan as a writer, salon hostess, art patroness, social activist and a resident of New Mexico. Born in Buffalo, New York, Mabel was a woman unique to her time. Her influence extended into the world of arts, music, literature and activism for social change. In her late 30s she experienced a life-altering arrival into a small town in Northern New Mexico and embraced the Taos Pueblo Indians in a way that seized the attention of the artistic and literary world. Her unconventional marriage to Antonio Lujan, a full-blooded Tiwa Indian from Taos Pueblo, created a revolutionary bridge between two cultures. Mabel and Tony helped to defeat federal legislation in 1924 that would have taken away 600,000 acres of sacred land belonging to the 19 tribes of New Mexico. Mabel lured progressive thinkers and artists, including D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Willa Cather, Dorothy Brett, Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keeffe and others to the remote town of Taos to attend her salons. Many of these visitors stayed for periods of time and several remained their entire lives. Mabel's home and salons made an extraordinary contribution to the culture of Taos County and the State of New Mexico. Luhan was a writer and advocate for the arts, women’s rights and Native American culture in a time when women were still fighting for the right to vote. Shot entirely in New Mexico with a local cast and crew, the film features breathtaking cinematography and aerial footage of Taos landscapes and landmarks. These physical features produced a visual response captured in 20th-century paintings and photos by Mabel’s guests. It was a book, “Edge of Taos Desert: An Escape to Reality” written by Mabel herself that piqued Gordon’s interest and set him off on a ten-year journey to get the book transformed into a film worthy of the topic. Filmmaker Gordon assembled a large team of writers, editors, art experts, historians and documentary producers to bring the many varied details of Luhan’s life into sharp focus. Actress Ali MacGraw happened to sit next to him on a plane and they began discussing the book, which she already loved. She offered to read some pages at a fundraiser in Taos and then signed on when the project was green lighted. Through a biographer of Luhan’s, Gordon met actress Leslie Harrell Dillen who wrote and performed a one-woman show portraying Mabel. She joined the production and appears as Mabel’s voice reading her words from books and letters. “Awakening in Taos: The Mabel Dodge Luhan Story” won Best Feature made in New Mexico at the 2015 Santa Fe Film Festival. The film has received special recognition and an award for Best Writing at the Hollywood Independent International Film awards. Awakening in Taos was produced in partnership with New Mexico PBS. The film will be shown November 16th at 6:00 pm at the at the Red Nation Film Festival on Friday November 16, at 6 PM at the LAEMMLE PLAYHOUSE 7, 673 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101 For tickets and information: http://www.rednationff.com/awakening-in-taos/ Or call (310) 478-3836.

Ann Bolinger-McQuade author of EVERYDAY ORACLES: Decoding the Divine Messages That Are All Around Us Personal oracles have been playing a major role in Ann's life for almost three decades. She fully recognized them after her diagnosis of breast cancer. They have guided and offered comfort to her as she dealt with the loss of her father, the passing of a close friend, and the death of a beloved animal companion. Before his death in 2009, Native American Elder Richard Deertrack of the Taos Pueblo honored Ann in a sacred ceremony. Deertrack supported her vision to expand the consciousness of an interconnected universe through the awareness of personal oracles. In EVERYDAY ORACLES, Bolinger-McQuade connects the dots between everyday personal oracles, the oracles of ancient history, the wisdom of indigenous cultures, and the science of 21st century quantum physics. Real life stories, like those of Streisand, Ghandi, Forest Whitaker, and Wayne Dyer, as well as many "everyday people," illustrate how personal oracles help us heal from illness, avoid danger, assuage grief, reconnect with loved ones who've passed, and more. For more information, visit www.personaloracles.com. Ann's book is available at Amazon.com at the following link: Everyday Oracles.
For centuries, the Taos Pueblo people in New Mexico lived entirely off their land. Sustainable agriculture was a way of life, but U.S. federal policies helped put an end to that. Food wasn't grown at the pueblos; it was trucked in. Traditional farming gave way to government subsidies and obesity rates soared. But recently, a surprising agricultural renaissance has taken root across the pueblos. On this edition, Making Contact's Rita Daniels takes us to the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico to share a story of rebirth and renewal. This program was partially funded by the Ben and Jerry's Foundation, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation, and the Seed Fund at the Rudolf Steiner Foundation.

On this edition, Making Contact's Rita Daniels takes us to the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico to share a story of rebirth and renewal. This program was partially funded by the Ben and Jerry's Foundation, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation, and the Seed Fund at the Rudolf Steiner Foundation. Featuring: Leonard Archuleta, Taos Pueblo Farmer and Red Willow Co-operative Member; Shirley Trujillo, Red Willow Farmers Market Manager; Joel Glanzberg, Native American Permaculture Teacher; Deryl Lujan, Taos Pueblo Rancher; Shawn Duran, Red Willow Education Center Director; Ezra Bales, Pueblo Day School Wellness Coordinator; Hillary Duran, University of New Mexico at Taos Student and Red Willow Education Center Intern. The post Making Contact – Native Harvest for a Modern World appeared first on KPFA.
An agricultural renaissance has taken root among the Taos Pueblo people in New Mexico. Sustainable agriculture is returning, after years of unhealthy food, poor health and obesity.

“The Boo Brothers” is a story of sibling rivalry, virtue triumphant, and unorthodox horticulture from Korea. It parallels many stories, including one from the Appalachian region of the U.S. sometimes known as “Gol Golly Gee”, involving one or more individuals who refuse to help someone in need and then meet their downfall, as contrasted with a more noble person who takes the time to be of help, and is rewarded with riches and having a folktale named after them.We come to you from Colorado City (in Colorado, natch), after having driven from Florida in a very short time. Along the way, we stopped in Mobile, AL to attend part of the Mardi Gras festivities. Many people don't realize it, but Mardi Gras has been celebrated in Mobile even longer than it has in New Orleans. The festival in Mobile dates back as far as 1703, and the tradition of a parade dates back to about 1830 when one particular merry fellow got one going spontaneously, and the other folks in the community decided it was too much fun not to repeat. This year's celebration actually got underway last year, with events held back in November. But the party began in earnest in January, a month before Mardi Gras itself. And during that month, there were no fewer than FORTY-TWO parades. We missed forty of them.We also spent some time in Taos, NM, in the heart of ski country. The town of Taos is rich in history, being among other things the home of legendary scout Christopher “Kit” Carson—the house he lived in is now open for tours. But even more historic is the home of an entire tribe of Native Americans: the Taos Pueblo, which was built at least 600 hundred years ago, and quite possibly 1000 years ago. It's still home today to about 150 tribal residents who still live, as their ancestors did, without electricity or running water. Like the Pueblo, the entire town of Taos is constructed of adobe buildings. It was a fascinating place to spend a weekend, but we're relieved to be out of the snow.Happy Listening!Dennis (Narrator, HungBoo, Monsters) and Kimberly (Narrator, NolBoo, Wife, Bird, Monsters)Comments and folktale requests 206-426-0436.
