Duane Osterlind sits down with Doug Leech, founder of Ascension Recovery Services, to discuss the monumental challenge of expanding high-quality addiction treatment to "treatment deserts"—specifically rural areas and tribal lands. Doug shares his vulnerable personal journey from a high-achieving accountant struggling with opioid addiction and homelessness to becoming a visionary leader in behavioral health.The conversation dives deep into the collaboration with the Pawnee Nation to build a sustainable, native-owned recovery center. Doug explains how he combined his expertise in accounting and neuroplasticity with ancient spiritual traditions and cultural healing to overcome the unique financial, political, and logistical hurdles of building on sovereign land.Key Discussion PointsDoug's Personal Story: From working at a top accounting firm to living in a car due to opioid addiction, Doug discusses the powerful role of shame and the life-changing experience of finding recovery in Minnesota when his home state of West Virginia had no options.The Problem of Treatment Deserts: Why many communities (veterans, Medicaid recipients, and Native American tribes) are often left without any local access to life-saving care.The Pawnee Nation Project: The complexities of building on sovereign land, including financing without the ability to repossess property and navigating tribal government cycles.Workforce Development: The "10-year plan" to train tribal members—from peer recovery coaches to Master's-level clinicians—to ensure the program is self-sustaining and native-operated.The Business of Recovery: How Doug uses his accounting background (and lessons from Sarbanes-Oxley) to build clinical programs that are not only effective but financially viable.The Power of Service: Why giving back through the 12th step is essential to maintaining long-term recovery.Quotes from the Episode"Addiction is the best-kept secret that everybody knows." — Doug Leech"I'll die with this disease, not from it." — Doug LeechResources MentionedAscension Recovery Services: ascensionrs.comWhite Bison: A resource for Wellbriety and culturally based healing for indigenous peoples.The Addicted Mind Podcast: theaddictedmind.comDoug Leech is in recovery and the founder of Ascension Recovery Services.

What does it look like to spend more than two decades advancing community-led clean energy — from helping farmers and rural landowners build their own wind projects to supporting Native and tribal nations pursuing energy sovereignty today?In this episode, Catherine sat down with Lisa Daniels, one of the founders of Women of Wind Energy (now WRISE) and the longtime Executive Director of Windustry, whose work has shaped how rural and tribal communities participate in the renewable energy transition.Lisa came into this work as an environmentalist in the late 1990s, confused by an energy system that ignored the free wind and sunlight all around us while investing heavily in fossil fuels. When state funding for her early nonprofit work evaporated overnight due to political changes, she took the curriculum home and built a new organization from scratch — one that helped thousands of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities understand how to harvest the wind for themselves.To mark WRISE's 20th anniversary, we talked about:  • Why community ownership keeps economic benefits local • Building Windustry on a shoestring after state funding collapsed • The early volunteer-powered days of Women of Wind Energy • What it was like to be one of only a few women in every meeting, workshop, and conference • How WRISE's fellowship program gave new people their first real glimpse into the industry • Why state and local action will drive the next era of clean energyIf you're a clean energy employer and need help scaling your workforce efficiently with top tier staff, contact Catherine McLean, CEO & Founder of Dylan Green, directly on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3odzxQr.

It's official — with the swipe of President Donald Trump's pen, North Carolina’s Lumbee Tribe is now the 575th federally recognized tribe. Correspondent Matt Laslo has the story from Washington. Dozens of members of the Lumbee Tribe traveled from North Carolina to Washington to be a part of history this week. Tears were heard in the gallery after the U.S. Senate approved the measure granting the Lumbee federal recognition Wednesday. And after President Trump signed it into law Thursday, Lumbee Chairman John Lowery could barely contain his joy. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning, and our joy is here. It's here. We finally achieved what our ancestors fought so long and so hard to achieve.” There are roughly 60,000 members of the Lumbee, making it the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River. North Carolina officials recognized the tribe after the Civil War in 1885, but not federal officials. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has helped lead the fight in the Senate in recent years. “Yeah, we’re a little bit excited after 137 years, on their part, about 40 years on Senate members part, it’s good to see it get done.” Tillis is retiring at the end of his term next year, but he says the decade-long battle for federal recognition for the Lumbee shows Washington isn't totally broken — even if the tribe and North Carolina lawmakers fought an uphill battle for years now. “A lot of educating and just, you know, prioritize the way. This is the way this works, right? You come in, you use leverage, you have discussions, you build a case. I think that’s what happened. I really appreciate the delegation. This was a well-coordinated effort.” Back in 1956, Congress partially recognized the Lumbee, but that left the tribe locked out of federal health services. And it meant the tribe couldn't operate casinos or marijuana dispensaries like other tribes. Chairman Lowery says it's a new day for the Lumbee. “The 1956 act, which left us in legal limbo, is now erased. It is no more and we are now fully, fairly recognized.” The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians fought the federal recognition of the Lumbee, which passed as a part of an annual $900 billion defense authorization bill. The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in Kansas issued a statement this week to its tribal members about a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contract after the deal was met with public scrutiny. In a video statement, Chairman Joseph Rupnick said the Nation and its subsidiaries have fully divested from the ICE contract. “As a result, Prairie Band, LLC is no longer a direct or indirect owner or participant in, or otherwise affiliated with, any ICE-related projects, contracts, or operations. In our next General Council meeting in January, Tribal Council plans to further address the steps we will take to ensure that our Nation's economic interests do not come into conflict with our values in the future.” Tribal citizens from across the U.S. have raised concerns about ICE and the Trump administration's immigration policies. Native people have also reported being confronted by ICE, including actress Elaine Miles, who has been sharing her story with media outlets about her run-in with ICE agents in November. (Courtesy Elaine Miles) U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, U.S Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and 10 of their Senate colleagues recently sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about reports of ICE encounters with tribal citizens. They are urging her to develop policy and trainings to recognize tribal IDs and requested a response by January 11. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Send us fan responses! The line between private life and public record shapes how you're treated at the counter, on the roadside, and at the airport. We dig into the practical side of tribal IDs, “tax exempt” language that actually lands, and the paperwork that turns a tense moment into a calm transaction. You'll hear real stories from dispensaries and hotels to TSA checkpoints, plus the exact forms and phrasing that clerks and officers understand without a debate.We go further by unpacking how to structure your world privately—what it means to use a credential instead of a state ID, why county notice changes the conversation, and how a trust, Motor Certificate of Origin, and private insurance can move a vehicle out of commercial lanes. If you've wondered whether a word on your card can trigger a citation, we explain why “driver” versus “traveler” matters and how to keep tickets off the table with clean documentation. We also cover responding to tickets and warrants with commercial endorsements, timelines, and default procedures that force agencies to play by their own rules.The standout segment introduces a community policing program with UN and Interpol alignment. Think scannable IDs and badges that smooth TSA lines, de-escalation training that protects everyone, and a chain of command you can call when a situation goes sideways. We're honest about limits: only act within your training, carry with proper insurance, and lead with de-escalation. The aim is simple—build relationships that make communities safer while keeping your private records tight and your language precise.If you're ready to navigate public systems with private strength, tune in, take notes, and bring a friend who needs this.

Frank and Shirley break down the Survivor Season 49 finale, starting with the big picture: why Savannah's win felt earned, and why the all-women final three (Sophie, Savannah, Sage) was such a standout moment. From there, they rewind through the endgame chaos, including the advantage hunt, Savannah's reward pick, Christina and Sage battling to stay alive at tribal, and Rizzo finally playing his idol after sitting on it for most of the season.They also get into Sophie's clutch final immunity, the pressure-packed fire-making decision, and the details of how Savannah pulled off the win when it mattered most. Plus: quick reunion talk, “On Fire” shoutouts, and some fun Survivor 50 hype before wrapping the season.00:00:00 Intro and first reactions to the winner and the all-women final three00:02:25 “Resume” talk: targets, votes, and what mattered at the end00:03:05 Post-tribal fallout and the advantage hunt setup00:09:15 Savannah wins immunity plus reward, then makes a surprising sanctuary pick00:13:40 Sophie weighs endgame threats and who she actually wants to face at final tribal00:15:25 Social media reaction to Savannah's blunt honesty00:16:25 Tribal pressure: Christina vs Sage, and who can really sell a case to the jury00:18:45 Rizzo plays the idol, the votes land, and the final four is set00:23:30 Sophie wins final immunity and the “who goes to fire” decision becomes everything00:28:40 Final four tribal: past mistakes, “make the right choice,” and the fire matchup is locked00:30:20 Fire-making breakdown and how Savannah actually pulls it off00:32:05 Final three vibes and the “three girls on the beach” moment00:33:05 Jury temperature check: who's locked in, who's not, and why Sophie's social game mattered00:45:10 Final vote results and why Savannah's win works as a throwback-style “villain you can root for” win00:56:10 Reunion chatter and Survivor 50 speculation01:01:20 Season wrap, feedback request, and where to find the showSavannah's win felt satisfying because it combined challenge dominance with owning her game instead of trying to soften it for the jury.Sophie's biggest strength was social access: people fed her information even when they probably should not have.Rizzo's idol story is a reminder that timing and threat-management can be as powerful as the actual play.Christina staying as long as she did became its own endgame fear, especially with fire-making looming.Final immunity is still the true “endgame boss fight” because it decides fire, and fire can swing the million.The all-women final three gave the finale a different energy, especially with Sage embracing the moment even as the longshot.The jury read felt pretty clear by the time votes were cast, but the episode still had real tension because of fire-making.“I don't have time to make friends out here, I'm trying to win $1 million.”“Fire can be everything.”“Three girls on the beach.”“When he walks in the room, everybody's cheering.

A new study from the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association looks at the impact of tribal gaming for the first time in seven years. According to the study, in 2023 tribal casinos employed more than 10,000 people statewide, about 70 percent of whom worked full time jobs. The report also found tribal casinos in Minnesota purchased more than $600 million in goods and services for ongoing operations, and more than half of that amount was purchased from Minnesota vendors. In total, tribal casinos generate $1.7 billion in economic activity for the state.MPR News Native News reporter Melissa Olson broke down the details of the report with Minnesota Now host Nina Moini.

During the brief time it was open, the Turtle building in Niagara Falls, N.Y. served as the Native American Center for the Living Arts. It was designed by Northern Arapaho architect Dennis Sun Rhodes. Now it stands vacant and is in the way of a proposal for a high-rise hotel. It is on the most recent list of Most Endangered Places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Another place on the list is the Pamunkey Indian Reservation. Tribal leaders say their land will be underwater within the next 65 years. We'll hear about some of the threatened historic places and the efforts to save them. GUESTS Chief Kevin Brown (Pamunkey) Shaun Wilson (Mohawk), president of the board of directors for the Friends of the Niagara Turtle Emma Wilson (Mohawk), student and social media manager for the Friends of the Niagara Turtle Charles Vaughn (Hualapai), council member and former chairman of the Hualapai Tribe Break 1 Music: Stomp Dance (song) George Hunter (artist) Haven (album) Break 2 Music: Hug Room (song) Chuck Copenace (artist) Oshki Manitou (album)

Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough and the state both declared a disaster after a prolonged windstorm brought hurricane-force gusts that damaged homes, toppled power lines and shutdown businesses across the region from Dec. 5–9. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Southcentral Alaska and its licensed childcare operations are ending all programs and services, according to a memo sent to staff obtained by Alaska’s News Source. The son of a Tribal judge is still on the loose after Alaska State Troopers say he kidnapped a Tribal Police Officer in Toksook Bay on the night of Nov. 29.

Philanthropy has long been a champion of public radio, providing grants for everything from infrastructure and new buildings to special reporting projects. Recent federal cuts have made philanthropic support even more critical to keep public radio stations afloat: across the country, in rural and remote areas, and especially on Tribal lands. Sue Matters is the station manager at KWSO 91.9 FM, which is a non-commercial radio station that is licensed, owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in Oregon. She shares her experience, spanning nearly 40 years, on the reservation's radio and what the station means to the culture and well-being of listeners.

Cuts in grants and operating funds, federal staff reductions, and department disorganization - and the federal government shutdown - all took a toll on the work done by tribal museums this year. Tribal museums are a source of economic development for many tribes, but more than that they offer an authentic and more comprehensive picture of Native culture and history than their non-Native counterparts. As Tribal Museums Week gets underway, we'll check in with tribal museums about their work and what they hope to accomplish in the current unpredictable environment for so many cultural institutions. GUESTS CC Hovie (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), public affairs and communications director for the Association on American Indian Affairs Janine Ledford (Makah), executive director of the Makah Museum Selena Ortega Chiolero (Tarahumara), museum specialist for the Chickaloon Village Traditional Council's Culture and Historic Preservation Department Stacy Laravie (Ponca), Indigenization director for the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers

In this vintage Jerry Seinfeld bit, the comedian captures a moral dilemma of our time, in America, in Israel, in the world: our jersey color shapes our moral vision. We identify with our team, whom we root for, and it shapes how we see the world. For our team, yay! For the other team, boo! But what about the moral equities?Can we root for our team and also see the humanity of the other team? Or does rooting for our team necessarily mean we cannot or should not see the humanity of the other team? Is seeing the humanity of the other team a violation of loyalty to our own team? Case in point: Esau.If you just read the Torah text, who is more noble: Esau or Jacob? When Jacob lies to his blind father and steals the blessing, the Torah describes Esau's reaction:When Esau heard his father's words [already gave the blessing to Jacob who obtained it by guile], he burst into wild and bitter sobbing, and said to his father, “Bless me too, Father!” But he answered, “Your brother came with guile and took away your blessing.”…And Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, Father? Bless me too, Father!” And Esau wept aloud. Genesis 27: 34-38.If you just read the Torah, if you just look at the equities, we would root for Esau, or at least have some sympathy for Esau. But for the rabbis of the midrash, living in the age of Rome, when the Jewish people were in dire straits, the midrashic tradition equates Esau with Rome, with Christianity, with oppression of Jews. Esau is the other team. Jacob is our team. The rabbinic tradition vilifies Esau. Does the rabbinic treatment vilifying Esau, denying him his humanity, teach us what to do, or what not to do? What do we do?

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and Civic Leader Andy Moore about a state question to eliminate property taxes in the state, concerns from homelessness advocates over new guidelines from the Trump Administration and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation hiring its own attorney rather than using the Attorney General over a lawsuit on tribal hunting and fishing.The trio also discusses the hopes of Oklahoma Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections and the State of Oklahoma naming its first ever artificial intelligence officer.

A one-time allocation for Tribal Colleges and Universities unexpectedly just doubled the federal allocation compared to the previous year. And a small handful of colleges are rejoicing over multi-million-dollar windfalls from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. But that doesn't mean officials at any of those institutions are breathing a sigh of relief. Instead, the unpredictable nature of federal funding and other factors — including the Trump administration's stated plan earlier this year to all but eliminate their funding, has tribal higher education administrators scrambling. We'll speak with some of them about the educational institutions that thousands of Native students depend on. GUESTS Christopher Caldwell (Menominee), president of the College of Menominee Nation Leander McDonald (Dakota, Arikara, Hidatsa and Hunkpapa), president of the United Tribes Technical College Manoj Patil, president of Little Priest Tribal College

One of the most clarifying conversations we've had about conscience, character, and navigating our divisions with integrity. In this ICYMI release, Corey revisits his conversation with David French — New York Times columnist, attorney, veteran, and one of the most thoughtful voices on religious liberty, civic virtue, polarization, and how principled disagreement can strengthen rather than destroy a pluralistic society. David unpacks how he thinks about political persuasion, why courage and humility are twin civic virtues, what it means to disagree in good faith, how social media distorts our moral instincts, and why democracy requires both conviction and restraint. If you're new to TP&R thanks to Podbean, Overcast, or a friend's recommendation, this episode is an ideal introduction: rigorous, nuanced, grounded in lived experience, and rooted in a deep belief in the dignity of difference.

In this chilling episode, Fred from Alaska—shares powerful firsthand accounts of the mysterious being known locally as the “Hairy Man.” Speaking with calm certainty and cultural grounding, Fred explains that these encounters aren't isolated legends or personal oddities; they're a long-standing reality for many First Nations families across the region, passed down through lived experience as much as oral tradition.Fred recounts his own unnerving experiences alongside stories from relatives who have faced the Hairy Man in remote stretches of Alaska. One standout moment takes place near a quiet pond, where what begins as an ordinary day turns deeply unsettling when the creature reveals itself—displaying awareness, strategy, and an intelligence that feels deliberate rather than animalistic.The episode then shifts to an even more harrowing hunting camp encounter: nighttime disturbances, unseen movement in the treeline, and a mounting sense of being watched culminate in a terrifying confrontation that leaves no doubt the group was being targeted and tested.Throughout the conversation, Fred emphasizes respect for the land, the people who live closest to it, and the beings that may share it. He calls on more Alaskans—especially Indigenous voices who have kept these stories quietly within families—to come forward. By gathering and comparing accounts, Fred believes we can better understand the patterns, behavior, and purpose of these encounters, and maybe finally bring clarity to one of Alaska's most enduring mysteries.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Frank and Shirley break down Survivor Season 49 Episode 9, “If You're Loyal to All, You're Loyal to None.” They dig into Rizzo's sharpest strategic episode yet, how he pulls Sophie into his orbit, and why the tribe keeps letting his idol stay in play. Savannah's endurance run continues, making her feel more and more like a lock for the endgame. Along the way, they talk about Christina's reward sacrifice for Joanne, how that kindness plays in modern Survivor, and why Alex's middle-game finally catches up to him. The back half turns into fun Survivor meta: how edits and fan perception have changed over the years, career “secrecy” in the game, and early buzz for Season 50, including a huge premiere and special CBS lead-in programming.Timestamps and Topics00:00 Intro, Shirley joins the recap, early praise for Rizzo01:00 Standout moments and why reward negotiations are underused02:20 Christina's kindness and what her reward sacrifice says about her game03:00 Savannah vs Sophie endurance battles and Parvati era comparisons03:45 How Survivor edits and fan attitudes have evolved over time05:10 Post-merge fallout, Sophie alienated, and Rizzo's trio solidifies07:20 Bottoms Up Alliance talk, idol intel, and the push to target Sophie10:35 Reward challenge play by play and Christina gives Joanne her spot15:20 Camp strategy: Savannah vs Rizzo as the real threat, and vote-splitting logic18:45 Career secrets, Savannah as a news anchor, and casting wish list talk22:10 Immunity challenge, Stephen's “space facts,” and Savannah's clutch win26:15 Pre-tribal scramble, Rizzo makes Alex public enemy number one30:20 Tribal council themes, idol mind games, and the vote outcome34:30 Favorites, Facebook theories, Season 50 hype, and On Fire behind-the-scenes notes40:35 Final thoughts and sign-offKey TakeawaysRizzo graduates from “good at challenges” to full-on strategist, and this episode shows why he's headed to Season 50.Savannah keeps winning the exact kind of endurance immunities that matter late-game, giving her a strong path to the finale.Christina giving up the reward for Joanne is a heartfelt move, but it also highlights how generosity can be both social capital and a possible target.The tribe's refusal to flush Rizzo's idol is baffling and could cost them the game.Alex's attempt to play both sides works until it doesn't.

Family, friends, and tribal officials rallied to help after authorities in Iowa notified Leticia Jacobo she would be handed over to federal immigration officials instead of being released from jail. Jacobo is a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. After extensive pushback, authorities admitted her U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer was a clerical error. We'll hear Jacobo's story. We'll also hear about what was behind the Nisqually Tribe's public announcement that it would not house immigrant detainees at their tribal corrections facility. Tribal officials say it is against their values of treating people with dignity and respect. GUESTS Leticia Jacobo (Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community), resident of Des Moines, Iowa Maria Nunez (Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community), Leticia's aunt Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribe), managing lawyer at Galanda Broadman David Leslie (Iñupiaq), Iñupiaq activist in Fairbanks, Alaska

Access to land for hunting, fishing, and gathering are foundational provisions in so many treaties between tribes and the federal government, but individual hunters and anglers are frequently challenged when out exercising those treaty rights. The legal justifications were settled decades ago following landmark rulings such as the Boldt Decision in Washington State and, more recently, in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judgement in favor of tribal hunting access on ceded lands in Idaho. We'll review some of the history of hunting rights and how those continue to be scrutinized. GUESTS Dr. Cleve Davis (Shoshone-Bannock Tribes), a Ph.D in environmental science and the author of “So Long As Game May Be Found Thereon” Charlie Smith (Fond Du Lac band of Lake Superior Chippewa), advisor for Indigenous Business Consulting firm and a member of the Fond du Lac Band Ceded Territory conservation committee Derrick James (Choctaw), reporter for NonDoc.com

Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College has classes on everything from Native American studies to gardening to equine sciences to the Hidatsa language. Like other tribal colleges and universities (aka TCUs), it's a space where students can get their degrees while steeped in Indigenous traditions and learning techniques. But since the start of this presidential administration, funding for these colleges has been precarious, and tribal college administrators have been left scrambling to make sure they can continue with business as usual. So this week on the show, we're diving deep into what makes tribal colleges unique — and what these spaces mean to the students, faculty and staff who work there.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The people of Stillwater, Oklahoma, have had enough. Hundreds gathered outside the Payne County Courthouse demanding accountability after Judge Susan Worthington allowed a violent sexual predator to avoid prison. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Butler, charged with eleven felonies including rape, attempted rape, and strangulation, received no prison time under Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Law. Despite partial video evidence and one victim requiring neck surgery, Judge Worthington ruled that Butler qualified for rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The potential 78-year sentence vanished, replaced by a single year of supervision, therapy, and a curfew. The decision ignited outrage across the state. Tribal victim services, survivors, parents, and students rallied together on the courthouse steps, chanting for justice and calling for Judge Worthington's removal. State lawmakers labeled the ruling “unacceptable” and vowed to review how the system failed so catastrophically. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, Tony breaks down the story that's shaken Stillwater to its core — how a judge's compassion turned into negligence, how leniency for violent predators endangers every community, and why the public's outrage might finally force real reform. We'll examine the judicial system that let this happen, the decades-long ties that bind small-town power networks, and the growing call to close legal loopholes that allow violent offenders to hide behind “youthful offender” status. This isn't about politics. It's about safety. Because when the system starts protecting predators instead of people, it's not justice anymore — it's failure in a robe. Watch the full breakdown and join the conversation in the comments.

Tribal immunity is no longer... it's now every castaway for themselves! Jeff, Jeremy and Jay react to the big moments from the merge, beginning with the choice to place the castaways at Kele beach. Jeff explains the calculus behind which beach the players will live on during the individual stage of the game. Then, Jeremy takes us into what it's really like to jostle for position on a beach filled with everyone, and how factions and sub-alliances shift with every conversation. Next, the merge advantage sent everyone scrambling through the jungle to find keys. The guys go behind the scenes as Jeff details how the crew uses a zone coverage tactic to capture the mayhem. Later, Jeff talks through the decision to merge the tribe before the challenge, and gives the details why he told the players that spots for Survivor 50 were still up for grabs. Plus, boulders! How does the Survivor art department create those giant objects that castaways must maneuver and climb?

3. Tribal Politics and the Yellow Creek Massacre Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section details the Yellow Creek Massacre. The frontier conflicts are described as tribal, involving native groups and colonial groups (Virginians, Pennsylvanians) battling over land, especially after the British left Fort Pitt. The massacre happened on April 30, 1774, at Baker's Bottom, targeting a band of Mingo natives. Logan's family, including his brother, sister, and mother, attempted diplomacy at a tavern but were ambushed and murdered by a group of men, including Daniel Greathouse, though none were named Cresap. Michael Cresap, later blamed in Logan's Lament, was absent. The violence was brutal; Logan's sister was killed after pleading for her infant son's life.
