Podcasts about Turtle Mountain

We are living in tremendously uncertain times and this month's guest, artist Yvette Molina, reminds us through her expansive work of the relationship between justice and care. Yvette is Mexican-American of Chippewa of Turtle Mountain descent who is currently artist-in-residence at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. Her collaborative exhibition, A PROMISE TO THE LEAVES, centers the four elements: earth, air, water, fire, and a fifth presence, the cosmos. By focusing on these ancient, essential forces, Molina invites us to remember that humans, plants, and all earthly beings are composed of star matter and sustained by the elements. Her work encourages us to understand care as inherently relational. Care for one another, human and non-human alike, is care for ourselves and all of creation.Yvette's artistic practice is rooted in community engagement and activism - through processional banners, ritual, storytelling, costumes, collage, painting, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Stockholm Fringe Festival, the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Arsenal Contemporary Art, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, NADA FAIR, and the Legion of Honor and de Young Museums in California. She currently lives and creates in Oakland, California.Nyá:wen to Indigenous Screen Office for supporting these important stories! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Turtle Mountain" or "Turtle Mountains"? Tribal historian and linguist Pat Gourneau noted that Indigenous languages traditionally didn't use the plural. The Turtle's back, head, heart, and tail were referenced by Indigenous people as parts of one elevated landform. Travelers, explorers, and cartographers identified landmarks accordingly.

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Amber Annis about the joys and challenges of rebuilding community and finding your voice as a leader. Dr. Amber Annis is a citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the Executive Director of Native Governance Center. Prior to taking on her role at NGC in December 2024, she worked at the Minnesota Historical Society as Associate Vice President of Tribal Nation Relations and Native American Initiatives. She was also a member of NGC's Native Nations Rebuilder Program for Cohort 11.  In her position at NGC, she supports efforts to rebuild Indigenous communities and empower leaders to find their strengths and their unique voices. A mother of two, she lives in St. Paul with her husband, a citizen of Turtle Mountain, and their dogs.

"I got angry," Scott Davis said on this episode of Plain Talk. "I had to walk away." Davis served as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs under three North Dakota governors (John Hoeven, Jack Dalrymple, and Doug Burgum), and now works as a consultant for North Dakota's tribal communities (he has familial roots in both the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Turtle Mountain Chippewa). What made him angry, and want to walk away, were comments by Sen. Diane Larsen, a Bismarck Republican, suggesting that "cartels" were behind a proposal by the Turtle Mountain tribe to open a casino near Grand Forks. Davis is also a Republican, I should point out, having served under Republican governors, and as a leader in his local NDGOP district. On Plain Talk, Davis pointed out that tribal gaming is legal and thoroughly regulated by tribal government, state government, and the federal government. He contrasted that with charitable gaming which, thanks to the popularity of electronic pull tab machines, has exploded to become a multi-billion dollar enterprise in North Dakota. He described charitable gaming as "wild west, unregulated activity." Davis said he warned lawmakers about electronic pull tabs when their legalization was being debated in Bismarck. "Nobody wanted to listen to Scott Davis the Indian guy." Asked if charitable gaming had put a dent in tribal proceeds from gambling, he said "big time." He expressed frustration that lawmakers like Larsen are so often dismissive of the tribe's interests. "Treat us fair," he said. "That's all we ask for." Davis appeared alongside Sen. Scott Meyer, a Republican from Grand Forks, who sponsored enabling legislation (Senate Bill 2376) that would allow Turtle Mountain's project to proceed. That bill failed in the Senate recently, but Meyer expressed confidence that it could return later in the session. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I reacted to some feedback from listeners, and discussed recent debates over Sen. Keith Boehm's book ban bill, which passed in the state Senate this week, and school lunch funding legislation, which got a "do not pass" recommendation from the House appropriations committee after what seemed like a perfunctory debate.

The twelfth day of Christmas or Twelfth Night, is known as Kings Day at Turtle Mountain. In Catholic tradition, it is the Feast of Epiphany, honoring the three wise men who traveled to Bethlehem to see the Christ Child.

Elders who were children in the 1930s at Turtle Mountain remembered Midnight Mass as the main celebration of Christmas. Families traveled by sleigh to the church, with children bundled under blankets. Most people were Catholic, their roots tracing back to the late 1700s fur trade when Indigenous women married French and Scottish workers.

In this episode of the Crux True Survival Story podcast, hosts Kayce McIntosh and Julie Henningsen delve into the catastrophic Frank slide of 1903 in Frank, Alberta. The episode explores how the small town's rapid growth led to a horrifying night when Turtle Mountain collapsed, burying parts of the town under 82 million tons of limestone. Survivors' tales, including miners digging their way out and heroic acts like Brakeman Sid Choquette's race to stop an oncoming train, highlight human resilience. The episode also discusses the town's recovery, ongoing geological risks, and lessons learned from indigenous wisdom. Listeners are encouraged to visit the Frank Slide Interpretive Center to witness the historic site and reflect on the power of nature and human endurance. 00:00 Introduction and Hosts 00:21 The Frank Slide: Listener's Recommendation 02:08 A Town's Rapid Rise 05:06 Geological Background of Turtle Mountain 08:02 The Night of the Disaster 10:06 Immediate Aftermath and Heroic Acts 14:50 Miraculous Survivals Amidst Tragedy 16:27 The Miners' Desperate Struggle 18:33 Unexpected Discoveries and Heartbreak 20:38 Frank's Resilience and Future Threats 21:37 Modern Monitoring and Indigenous Wisdom 27:02 Conclusion and Reflections Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ Additional information: Alberta Parks - Frank Slide Interpretive Centre https://www.albertaparks.ca/parks/south/frank-slide-interpretive-centre/ Alberta Geological Survey - Turtle Mountain Monitoring Program https://ags.aer.ca/activities/geohazards/turtle-mountain-monitoring-program Parks Canada - Crowsnest Pass National Historic Site https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/ab/crowsnest University of Alberta Libraries Digital Collections - Frank Slide photographs https://archive.org/details/N-1969-71-14 Glenbow Museum Archives - Frank Slide Collection https://glenbow.ucalgary.ca/digital/ Alberta On Record - Frank Slide records https://albertaonrecord.ca/frank-alberta Royal Alberta Museum - Frank Slide Exhibition https://royalalbertamuseum.ca/ Atlas of Alberta Railways - Frank Mine and Railway History http://railways.library.ualberta.ca/Chapters-7-2/ Natural Resources Canada - Landslide Case Histories https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/science-and-data/science-and-research/earth-sciences/landslides-canada Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences - Research Papers on Frank Slide https://cdnsciencepub.com/journal/cjes Crowsnest Pass Historical Society https://www.crowsnestmuseum.ca/ Travel Alberta - Frank Slide Information https://www.travelalberta.com/places-to-go/provincial-historic-sites/frank-slide-interpretive-centre/ University of Calgary Press - Books about Frank Slide https://press.ucalgary.ca/ CBC Digital Archives - Frank Slide Historical Coverage https://www.cbc.ca/archives/

Dr Eduardo Duran, PhD - 01/31/2023 - An interview with Dr. Ed Duran conducted in January 2023 by MRO students Daniel Onren Latorre and monastic Taikyo Gilman. The topics considered were drawn from previous conversations Ed offered in recent years: with the MRO BIAPoC Sangha on Decolonizing Buddha; and, with the MRO sangha at large, on Decolonizing Awakening On Turtle Mountain. - Ed Duran (Apache/Tewa/Lakota) is a psychologist who has been working in indigenous communities most of his professional career. He is a Vietnam Veteran who started his academic training after being discharged from the US Navy. He has been involved in Buddhist and traditional Native practices for many years, and his work is informed by traditional Indigenous understanding of heart knowing. - Eduardo is the author of Buddha in Redface (Writers Club Press, 2003), a story that deals with these traditions as well as our karmic relationship to the Earth. He is also the author of Healing the Soul Wound: Trauma-informed Counseling for Indigenous Communities and Native American Postcolonial Psychology. He presently lives outside of Bozeman, Montana.

Listen to a conversation with Meredith McCoy and Matthew Villeneuve about historical and current strategies that Indigenous people used to repurpose the educational systems for Indigenous well-being. In this episode, we are also joined by a student audience Q&A. Meredith McCoy is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and History at Carleton College. She is of Turtle Mountain Ojibwe descent, and her father, David McCoy, is an enrolled Turtle Mountain citizen. Meredith's research examines how Indigenous families, educators, and community leaders have long repurposed tools of settler colonial educational violence into tools for Indigenous life. Her first book, a history of Indigenous strategizing in federal education funding and policy, is currently under contract with the University of Nebraska Press. Matt Villeneuve (Turtle Mountain Chippewa descent) is Assistant Professor of U.S. History and American Indian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he teaches courses in American Indian History, Native education, and environmental history. His research focuses on Native histories of education and schooling. His current book project, "Instrumental Indians: John Dewey and the Problem of the Frontier, 1884-1959," is an intellectual history of America's most prominent philosopher of education and democracy and his relationship to the anti-democratic nature of federal Indian schooling.Recommended Sources:Meredith L.

Have you ever noticed how the hilly topography of Turtle Mountain is much the same as the Missouri Coteau, that band of hills that runs along the north and east side of the Missouri River? If so, it is because they are the same geological landform — largely dead-ice "moraine," or collapsed glacial topography.

As most North Dakotan's know, the Red River and its tributaries flow into Hudson Bay while the Missouri River and its tributaries flow into the Gulf of Mexico. It might surprise you but there are several major drainage basins in the state. The maps I have seen vary somewhat, but often place the Missouri Coteau within the Missouri River drainage and the Prairie Coteau and Turtle Mountain in the Hudson Bay drainage even though they are largely pothole country with closed drainage.

Boeken van de maand Louise Erdrich - De nachtwaker Thomas Wazhashk is nachtwaker bij de lagersteenfabriek in het Turtle Mountain-reservaat. Daarnaast is hij stamhoofd van de Chippewa-indianen. Al enige tijd hoort hij verontrustende geluiden vanuit Washington over een ‘emancipatiewet'. Deze wet zou een einde maken aan de verdragen met de Amerikaans-indiaanse stammen – verdragen die waren overeengekomen voor ‘zolang het gras groeit en de rivieren stromen'. Thomas realiseert zich algauw dat deze wet niets met vrijheid te maken heeft, maar als doel heeft de indianen hun land en hun identiteit te ontnemen. Hij besluit te vechten voor zijn volk, koste wat het kost. Ondertussen verlaat zijn nichtje Patrice – of Pixie, zoals ze tegen haar zin wordt genoemd – het reservaat om op zoek te gaan naar haar zus, die spoorloos verdwenen is. Haar zoektocht brengt haar naar Minneapolis, waar ze geconfronteerd wordt met de harde realiteit van een wereld waarin ze zich maar niet thuis voelt. Gebaseerd op het buitengewone leven van haar grootvader verkent Louise Erdrich in De nachtwaker het meedogenloze lot van een volk dat moet vechten voor zijn bestaan. Erdrich brengt haar personages op onvergetelijke wijze tot leven en vertelt een weergaloos verhaal over een zwarte bladzijde uit de Amerikaanse geschiedenis en een strijd die nog altijd niet geheel gestreden is.

Maar seks is veel complexer dan alleen gewenst versus ongewenst. Het is een private handeling vol publieke betekenis. Hoe worden onze voorkeuren gevormd? Hoe werken ideeën over verkrachting en racisme op elkaar in? Wat zegt porno over vrijheid? In zes baanbrekende essays onderzoekt filosoof Amia Srinivasan de politiek en de ethiek van seks, in de hoop het gesprek een nieuwe wending te geven. Vind het boek hier in de webshop.

Leonard Peltier supporters rallied for his release in six cities across the country on Monday, warning he is at risk after getting COVID-19 in prison, as Arielle Zionts of South Dakota Public Broadcasting reports from Rapid City. A city in Minnesota is planning to rename a park and may pay select Native people for their input. The Pioneer Press reports the city of Roseville wants to rename Pocahontas Park. The parks and recreation commission has been considered the change since a youth commissioner suggested it in 20-20. Commissioners told the city council Monday a majority of comments from the public is in favor of the change pointing to inaccurate and stereotypical imagery often associated with Pocahontas. The commission is considering a stipend for Native Americans to take part in the renaming process. Some commissioners say the payment is no different than paying consultants for guidance. No dollar amount or timeframe has been set for the renaming process. The Spirit Lake Tribe, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and individual voters filed a lawsuit Monday in U-S District Court for the District of North Dakota. They're challenging North Dakota's new legislative map claiming it dilutes the voting rights of Native Americans. They say redistricting has split up Turtle Mountain citizens into two subdistricts and Spirit Lake in one district. Tribal leaders had asked for the two tribes to be drawn into the same district. Plaintiff say they're limited in electing state legislative seats. The lawsuit alleges violation of the voting rights act. The Native American Rights Fund is among law groups representing the plaintiffs.

Over the years I have occasionally heard that clucking sound in the Turtle Mountain forest. It sounds as if it were the call of a bird. I had heard the call of a cuckoo many years ago and thought maybe that was what I was hearing. But I could never seem to spot the bird, and when I listened to recordings of both the black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos it just didn't fit.

Die Autorin malt auf großer Erzählleinwand ein intimes und zugleich reales Porträt einer kleinen Gemeinschaft von Indianern Anfang der 50er Jahre. Eine Zeit, in der fast alle bereits in einem Reservat geboren sind, aber nun auch von dort vertrieben werden sollen. Tatsächlich war die Stammesgemeinschaft, um die es im Nachtwächter geht, die erste, die sich gegen diese „Terminierungspolitik“ gewehrt hat. Der Großvater der Autorin war Vorsitzender des Stammesrats.

I recently noticed some Impatiens growing amongst some cattails in Turtle Mountain. It is always a treat to see this interesting plant, also known as jewelweed, or touch-me-not.Two species of touch-me-nots are native to North Dakota. The more common and widely distributed species is the spotted touch-me-not (Impatiens capensis). It can be found roughly east of a line from Bottineau County to Sargent County along stream banks, springs, and other wet habitats, particularly in wooded areas.

The guiding principle of Turtle Mountain Brewing Company is to provide the people of Rio Rancho and surrounding communities with delicious, high-quality foods and beverages at an affordable price in a comfortable, friendly environment. Being a fan of the show “Cheers,” Nico envisioned a place where regulars and visitors alike could come in and feel like they are part of the family. Turtle Mountain's employees are encouraged to get to know customers by name as well as background and interests. We feel that coming to Turtle Mountain should be like coming to a friend's house for dinner, so please, make yourselves at home!

I have heard about someone getting quite excited recently about seeing a scarlet tanager in Turtle Mountain. Scarlet tanagers, as the name implies are bright red with jet black wings and tail. They are also known as black-winged red birds, and have been described as “red with a capital R” or “blindingly gorgeous.” In size they are a little larger than a sparrow but smaller than a robin. If you are familiar with eastern bluebirds, they are close in size.

I have been seeing tracks of snowshoe hares during my outings in the Turtle Mountain forest, although I have yet to see one. It might surprise you, but they are native to North Dakota. Historically they could be found in Turtle Mountain, Pembina Hills, around Devils Lake, Killdeer Mountains, and wooded areas along the Red, Mouse, and Missouri Rivers.

I can't look at my life and see the opportunities that I've had, the health that I've had, my education... How do I look at that and then look at the people in Turtle Mountain, in Red Lake and Leech Lake and Pine Ridge and not see the completely different story?...Growing up, I never learned about any of this...We don't want to make the connection between us, the land and native people, and poverty. We're unwilling because it's a hard thing to face...that's a much bigger conversation that we're just not having...But for me, it's pretty simple. It's all about land. It's always been about land, still about land. -Ty Olson Ty Olson is a filmmaker who is on a 250 mile cross country skiing quest across the Voyageurs Highway to inspire awareness and conversation around native issues while raising money for One Spirit , a nonprofit collective of Oglala Lakota and volunteers from around the globe, working hand in hand for the Pine Ridge Reservation community in South Dakota, supporting the

It never ceases to amaze me how quiet the prairie, woods, and marshes can be during the dead of winter here in North Dakota. Oh, there are the occasional sightings, such as that of deer and coyotes, plus the sighting or calls of chickadees, nuthatches, and other birds. But it often seems hauntingly quiet during the winter. That is a bit deceiving. A closer look reveals that many animals are quite active during the winter. I was thinking about that recently while taking a walk in the Turtle Mountain aspen forest.

Oak trees are interesting during the summer months, but come fall when they lose their leaves, they take on a completely different character. I was thinking about that around Halloween when I went for a walk through the Turtle Mountain forest. As I paused to observe an old gnarled bur oak, it dawned on me that most of those trees illustrated in spooky stories and cartoons must be modeled after bur oak.

Marie: This is Minnesota Native News, I'm Marie Rock.  Last month, the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis had a virtual watch party on social media, bringing together viewers to see what community members are saying about sexual health and and related topics, including why it's difficult to talk about sex. We'll hear more about how the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis works with the community to talk about sexual health.But first… the US Census is well on its way, collecting information from citizens across the country… And, there's still time to fill out the Census. The U.S. Census Bureau has extended the 2020 census deadline to September 30th due to the pandemic.Here's reporter Leah Lemm with these stories.STORY #1: CENSUS REMINDER WITH IHS DANIEL FRYEREPORTER: The Indian Health Service is a critical program…. Of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services… providing healthcare to American Indian/Alaskan Natives nationwide. The Indian Health Service or I-H-S uses Census data to plan its programs… and to determine funding formulas and more.But, when it comes to Native representation in the US, the trend has always been under-representation, which has negatively affected many areas including: Native visibility, political clout, reservation economic development…. and Federal funding allocation.Daniel Frye is the Bemidji Area Director of the Indian Health Service:Dennis Frye: As a Native American, I want to see us properly represented, that's a fact. So, you know, I was happy to fill out my census. And you know, there is urgency because there's always been either under-representation Racial misclassification in Indian country. And all those things are tied to when Congress is looking at how we're going to appropriate dollars.REPORTER: You can still respond to the census by phone, by mail, or online. More information can be found at 20-20 CENSUS DOT GOV.Reporter: Next up… the challenge of reaching people with sexual health education.STORY #2: INDIAN HEALTH BOARD OF MINNEAPOLIS SEXUAL HEALTH AWARENESSDelilah Robb: (00:16) my name is Delilah Robb. I'm a community health educator at the Indian health board of Minneapolis and the Indian health board is a clinic that's located in the Phillips neighborhood. It's been there for almost 50  years. Reporter: Delilah Robb is Turtle Mountain and her works revolve around educating all age groups about sexual health.Delilah says that many parents and grandparents never received sexual health education.Delilah Robb: (02:23) there's a long history of reproductive abuse against American Indian women. And that really is rooted from like forced sterilization. Um, so I really try to be mindful about like, let's just educate so our community can make their own informed decision.(15:03) I'm American Indian myself, um, and growing up, I feel like I didn't have all the answers that I wanted, um, and I needed. Um, and I didn't even realize that I needed that information until I was in my twentiesREPORTER: The sexual health program is funded by the Minnesota Department of Health and  strives to reduce STDs and unplanned pregnancies… and so much more…. Delilah talks about sexuality beyond those immediate issues, as well.Delilah Robb: (04:57) when I try to describe what sexuality, um, is, is to people, I like people to think about a pie and we all have these different pieces of the pie and our sexuality is made up a lot of different things. It's not just the physical aspect of ourselves. It's our, um, reproductive health, it's our body image. It is our sexual orientation. It's our gender identity. It's how we express love and affection. So I always try to like, get people to think about, um, sexuality in a more holistic way.REPORTER: And through these aspects that are a part sexual health education, Delilah relates to culture and values….Delilah: (07:52) our stories have, um, lots of are a story can have a lot of different types of lesson in it, lessons in it where it may not specifically be about sexual health, but there may be a lesson in there about treating each other with respect. So those are the types of things that I, I would like to incorporate into the education that I do.REPORTER: Delilah is open to answering questions.

An estimated 70 people perished when the side of Turtle Mountain buried part of Frank, Alberta.

There are some willow catkins popping out in Turtle Mountain. No doubt they are also out in other parts of the state. Willows are members of the Salicaceae or willow family. In addition to the willows the family also includes cottonwoods, aspen, and balsam poplar.

As they have done almost every year for the last ten years, lawmakers in South Dakota rejected a proposal this session to change the state’s statute of limitations on child sexual abuse. Time is running out for the dozens of survivors, including those from the Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribe, to hold organizations like the Catholic Church accountable for alleged crimes that occurred when the victims were children. Turtle Mountain’s Louise Aamot Charbonneau claims she was abused at the Catholic boarding school she attended in the 1970s. She died before she could testify in favor of changing South Dakota’s law during the legislature session this year. We’ll learn about South Dakota and the other states that put limits on holding institutions accountable for sexual abuse.

In Claiming Turtle Mountain's Constitution: The History, Legacy, and Future of a Tribal Nation's Founding Documents (University of North Carolina Press, 2017), Turtle Mountain Tribal Court Associate Justice and UNC-Chapel Hill American Studies Assistant ProfessorKeith Richotte, Jr., offers a critical examination of one tribal nation's decision to adopt a constitution. In an auditorium in Belcourt, North Dakota, on a chilly October day in 1932, Robert Bruce and his fellow tribal citizens held the political fate of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in their hands. Bruce, and the others, had been asked to adopt a tribal constitution, but he was unhappy with the document, as it limited tribal governmental authority. However, white authorities told the tribal nation that the proposed constitution was a necessary step in bringing a lawsuit against the federal government over a long-standing land dispute. Bruce's choice, and the choice of his fellow citizens, has shaped tribal governance on the reservation ever since that fateful day. By asking why the citizens of Turtle Mountain voted to adopt the document despite perceived flaws, he confronts assumptions about how tribal constitutions came to be, reexamines the status of tribal governments in the present, and offers a fresh set of questions as we look to the future of governance in Native America and beyond. Ryan Tripp is an adjunct instructor for several community colleges and online university extensions. In 2014, he graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a Ph.D. in History. His Ph.D. double minor included World History and Native American Studies, with an emphasis in Linguistic Anthropology and Indigenous Archeology.

We talk about the importance of blank spaces, vantage points, and how Disneyland can guide your map-making. No monster of the week this week, unfortunately!  

Hey everyone, thanks for bearing with us through our technical difficulties. This week on Carpe DM we talk about NPCs as party members, a giant demon who explodes when you kill it, and we delve into some of the inhabitants of the mysterious Turtle Mountain.

This week, James Rouse Iniguez joins us to talk about the basics of sketching out a campaign's NPCs, or Non-Player Characters. We discuss making memorable NPCs, the Rule of Cool, and delve even more deeply into the Mystery of Turtle Mountain.

Fans of the Washington Redskins, one of the most popular American football teams in the country, are fiercely proud of their dark crimson Indian head logo. They say it is a sign of respect and that the name 'Redskins' goes back 80 years. But to many Native Americans, the indigenous people who lived in the United States before the arrival of European settlers, the word Redskins is hateful. For them it's a painful reminder of how their people have been oppressed and neglected even to this very day. Mike Wendling travels from North Dakota, to Minneapolis to Washington DC to explore the controversy which, thanks to social media and a growing number of Native American campaigners, has now become a burning national issue. On the Turtle Mountain reservation, Mike meets Jordan Brien, a young hip-hop artist with a troubled past who is determined to get the name of the team changed. He says his people shouldn't be reduced to mascots, and he urges young Native Americans to take a stand against racism. His cause has got the support of some in the US Congress and even President Obama has said that if the name is offensive to a sizeable group of people, the owners should "think about changing it". But for diehard fans like Chap Petersen, who has been going to Redskins games for four decades, such a change is unthinkable. And the club's owner Daniel Snyder has vowed never to discard the name whatever the press, pollsters and politicians say.

Robert Robideau, a member of the American Indian Movement since 1973, died Feb. 17, 2009 at the age of 61 at his home in Barcelona, Spain, where he was the founder and director of the American Indian Movement Museum. This is the last known "live" interview with Bob Robideau recorded on January 31, 2009.  Hostess Brenda Golden was honored to have first been a MySpace friend of Bob's and also was privileged to speak with him by telephone a few times in addition to hosting this interview.  During their budding friendship, he divulged that he was moving back to the United States to get involved with freeing Leonard Peltier from prison among other reasons.  Many have questioned the circumstances surrounding his death.  He was a member of the Turtle Mountain and White Earth Ojibwa tribes. Robideau was acquitted in the deaths of two FBI agents in 1976 on grounds of self-defense. The charges arose from a shootout with the FBI on Pine Ridge reservation in June 1975 that left two FBI agents and a Native man dead - the same shoout out that resulted in conviction and imprisonmnet of Leonard Peltier was convicted. Robideau served as the International Director of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee intermittently over the years.  Here is the link to Peltier’s statement on the death of Robideau.  http://www.workers.org/2009/us/robert_robideau_0312/ Robideau had degrees in Anthropology from Portland State University and Arts from the Institute of Native American Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is survived by his wife, Pilar of Barcelona, Spain; and sons, Michael of Portland and Bobby of South Dakota. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pl1UChP8vc

Note: The lesson "Picture North America" was originally developed by John Pauli, a teacher consultant with the Geographic Alliance in Nevada. Dr. Keeler modified the lesson plan (see the modified lesson plan here) and then changed the lesson to focus more on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.This lesson is available at: http://tah-exploration.blogspot.com/2008/06/picture-north-america-on-trail-with.html Grade Level: 5-10 [When using only the pictures and placards, this lesson may be used in younger grades.]Time: 50 minutesOverview:Using pictures, atlases, place card descriptors and latitude and longitude cards, students work collaboratively to match the items. The result is a completed table listing relative and absolute locations. Students also note geographic regions and mark the locations of the pictures on a map using stickers.Connection to National Geography Standards: The World in Spatial Terms(1) How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information.(3) How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on Earth's surface.

Next, glue the map onto a piece of colored cardstock. Laminate the map. Now, students may write on the maps with wet erase markers, clean them with paper towels, and re-use them. This is a wonderful tool for students to use when practicing country or state names.] Removable stickers (one set) Lettered pictures from the North American continent (one set of 10) ** Cards listing the picture description and relative location of each picture (one set) Cards listing the absolute location of each picture (one set)“Picture North America” worksheet and cards Objectives:Draw the westward trail of Lewis and Clark.Describe the physical geographical regions visited by the Corps of Discovery.Define relative location and absolute location.Identify flora, fauna, and structures within North America.Utilize atlases to coordinate place names with latitude and longitude.Match visual images of physical space to their relative and absolute locations.Work collaboratively to utilize geographic tools. Procedure:Opening:Place students into pairs or groups of four and direct them to: Work collaboratively to match the pictures, place name cards, and latitude and longitude cards. Once all cards are matched, place a sticker on the North American laminated map for the location of each picture.Then, complete the “Picture North America” worksheet using the matched information.Finally, identify a region for each location. Provide each group with one packet of materials.Development:Circulate, assisting students as they match pictures and cards, utilize atlases, place stickers on the map, and complete their worksheets. Once groups feel confident they have correctly completed their worksheets, allow them to check their answers with the answer key. If they have errors, encourage them to identify the cause of the errors and to fix these on their worksheets/maps.Closing:Once all students have correctly completed their worksheets, ask students: What did you learn from this activity?What do you notice about North America by looking at the pictures? (Answers should relate to the variety of ecosystems across the continent.)Why do you think there is such variety on a single continent?How would you pack if you were going on a trip to all these locations? (This will lead to the next day's lesson focusing on the items acquired in preparation for the Lewis and Clark Expedition.) Assessment:Provide credit based on student ability to actively collaborate with a group and correct completion of the worksheet.Extending/Modifying the Lesson:Have students work in groups to create their own “Picture North America” activity using pictures of national parks. Have groups of four students create a packet of eight pictures. They will identify which national parks they wish to include after visiting the U.S. National Park Service website. Once they identify the parks they wish to highlight, they download a picture of each park after visiting the park’s official website. For each picture, students must prepare a caption that includes a description of the picture (including geographically correct terminology) and an accurate place name including the name of the park and the state in which it is located. They must also identify the latitude and longitude of the park using Google Earth. Students will submit the printed pictures and one page with the place cards and latitude/longitude cards. They will also include an answer key for their “Picture U.S. National Parks” activity using the original “Picture North America” worksheet. During a Family Geography Night, have parents complete the “Picture U.S. National Parks” activity under the direction of the students.Use historical locations for the pictures (e.g., pictures along the Oregon Trail, home states of U.S. Presidents).Instead of North America, use pictures from around the world (e.g., Egyptian pyramids, Grand Canyon, Sydney Opera House).After completing the activity, have students research one of the locations from the activity by reading journal entries of the expedition members and viewing primary sources artifacts from the expedition. Have student prepare a foldable report or acrostic poem about their selected location.Have students use traditional scales to measure distances between locations on the completed map. Have them check their work using Google Earth's "Measure" tool.Have students study the various ecosystems depicted in the graphics.Picture North America: On the Trail of Lewis and ClarkCards and Notes Missouri River (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 38º47’ N 90º29’ WDate visited: April 1804Description: Lewis and Clark viewed the Missouri River from this same vantage point. The view enabled them to see the wide and powerful river that would take them west and bring them home again.Journal Quote: “a fine morning Set out verry early, the murcery Stood 56° above 0. proceeded on to the mouth of the Little Missouri river and formed a Camp in a butifull elivated plain on the lower Side for the purpose of takeing Some observations to fix the Latitude & Longitude of this river. this river falls in on the L. Side and is 134 yards wide and 2 feet 6 Inches deep at the mouth, it takes its rise in the N W extremity of the black mountains, and through a broken countrey in its whole course washing the N W base of the Turtle Mountain which is Situated about 6 Leagues S W of its mouth, one of our men Baptiest who came down this river in a canoe informs me that it is not navagable, he was 45 days descending.One of our men Shot a beaver Swimming below the mouth of this river.I walked out on the lower Side of this river and found the countrey hilley the Soil composed of black mole & a Small perportion of Sand containing great quantity of Small peable Some limestone, black flint, & Sand Stone I killed a Hare Changeing its Colour Some parts retaining its long white fur & other parts assumeing the Short grey, I Saw the Magpie in pars, flocks of Grouse, the old field lark & Crows, & observed the leaf of the wild Chery half grown, many flowers are to be seen in the plains, remains of Minetarra & Ossinneboin hunting Camps are to be Seen on each Side of the two MissourisThe wind blew verry hard from the S. all the after part of the day, at 3 oClock P M. it became violent & flowey accompanied with thunder and a little rain. We examined our canoes &c found Several mice which had already commenced cutting our bags of corn & parched meal, the water of the little Missouri is of the Same texture Colour & quallity of that of the Big Missouri the after part of the day so Cloudy that we lost the evening observation.”Mouth of the Platte River (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 41º15’ N 95º52’ WDate visited: June 1804Description: Extensive and mixed conifer and hardwood wetlands leave the water of the Platte River clear. This shallow river rolled rapidly over sands divided into a number of channels.Journal Quote: "The wind lulled at seven o'clock, and we reached, in the rain, the mouth of the great river Platte…Captains Lewis and Clarke ascended the river in a periogue, for about one mile, and found the current very rapid; rolling over sands, and divided into a number of channels; none of which are deeper than five or six feet."Wintering with the Mandans (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 46º55’ N 100º55’ WDate visited: October 1804Currently: Heart River, Stark County, North DakotaDescription: Due to extreme weather conditions still common in North Dakota (average highs and lows are between 5º and 30º in winter months), the Corps of Discovery joined the Mandan Indians for wintering. The Mandans and other native tribes submitted to annual winter truces enabling them to live in villages where they could easily trade and support each other. Their homes were mounds covered in sod.Journal Quote: “we Set out arly Came too at this Village on the L. S. this village is Situated on an eminance of about 50 feet above the Water in a handson Plain it Containes houses in a kind of Picket work. the houses are round and Verry large Containing Several families, as also their horses which is tied on one Side of the enterance”Mouth of the Yellowstone River (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 45º59’ N 107º57’ WDate visited: April 1805Current: Pompey’s PillarDescription: Clark left his name and the date on what he called “Pompey’s Pillar,” named after Sacagawea’s son whom he nicknamed “Pomp.” Because the sandstone pillar is the only remaining physical evidence appearing on the trail today as it did 200 years ago, it is one of the most famous sandstone buttes in America. The pillar stands about 100’ above the Yellowstone River.Journal Quote: "after I had completed my observations in the evening I walked down and joined the party at their encampment on the point of land formed by the junction of the rivers; found them all in good health, and much pleased at having arrived at this long wished for spot, and in order to add in some measure to the general pleasure which seemed to pervade our little community, we ordered a dram to be issued to each person; this soon produced the fiddle, and they spent the evening with much hilarity, singing & dancing, and seemed as perfectly to forget their past toils, as they appeared regardless of those to come." [Lewis.]Marias River (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 48º19’ N 111º06’ WDate visited: June 1805Description: When the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the fork in the Marias River, they were unable to determine weather they should take the northern or southern routes. After days of exploring both branches of the river, Lewis and Clark determined the southern route was most likely to lead toward the Rocky Mountains. Though the remaining Corps members disagreed with Lewis and Clark, they followed their leaders. The captains were correct.Journal Quote: "It now became an interesting question, which of these two streams is what the Minnetarees call Ahmateahza, or Missouri, which they describe as approaching very near to the Columbia. On our right decision much of the fate of the expedition depends; since if, after ascending to the Rocky Mountains or beyond them, we should find that the river we were following did not come near the Columbia, and be obliged to return, we should not only lose the travelling season, two months of which have already elapsed, but probably dishearten the men so much as to induce them either to abandon the enterprise, or yield us a cold obedience, instead of the warm and zealous support which they have hitherto afforded us. We determined, therefore, to examine well before we decided on our future course. For this purpose we despatched two canoes with three men up each of the streams, with orders to ascertain the width, depth, and rapidity of the current, so as to judge of their comparative bodies of water. At the same time parties were sent out by land to penetrate the country, and discover from the rising grounds, if possible, the distant bearings of the two rivers; and all were directed to return toward evening. . . ."Great Falls and Portage (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 47º30’ N 111º18’ WDate visited: June 1805Description: Except for wintering in the Mandan villages, the Corps made significant progress on their westward journey until they reached the Great Falls of modern-day Montana. The falls were so immense that the Expedition members spent over one month portaging around the falls.Journal Quote: "In this direction captain Lewis had gone about two miles when his ears were saluted with the agreeable sound of a fall of water, and as he advanced a spray which seemed driven by the high southwest wind arose above the plain like a column of smoke and vanished in an instant. Towards this point he directed his steps, and the noise increasing as he approached soon became too tremendous to be mistaken for any thing but the great falls of the Missouri. Having travelled seven miles after first hearing the sound he reached the falls about twelve o'clock, the hills as he approached were difficult of access and two hundred feet high: down these he hurried with impatience and seating himself on some rocks under the centre of the falls, enjoyed the sublime spectacle of this stupendous object which since the creation had been lavishing its magnificence upon the desert, unknown to civilization."Bitterroot Barrier (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 45º50’ N 113º59’ WDate visited: September 1805Description: Following the Great Falls portage, Lewis and Clark met their second major challenge of the Expedition — the Bitterroot Barrier. Snow fell early in the mountains and game was scarce. The difficult journey left the Corps starving and they had to kill and eat three colts to survive. Once they emerged from the mountains, the Nez Perce provided Corps members with dried fish and roots to replenish their exhausted and hungry bodies.Journal Quote: "we met a part of the Flathead nation of 33 lodges about 80 men 400 Total and at least 500 horses, those people recved us friendly, threw white robes over our Sholders & Smoked in the pipes of the peace, we encamped with them & found them friendly... I was the first white man who ever wer on the waters of this river" (Captain Clark)Cape Disappointment (Picture)Latitude/Longitude: 46º13’ N 123º55’ WDate visited: December 1805Description: In December of 1805, Clark wrote in his journal: "Great joy in camp, we are in View of the Ocian, this great Pacific Octean which we been So long anxious to See." Though Cape Disappointment received its name in 1788 by a British sea captain seeking a wide mouthed river to travel westward, the Corps might have also called the region a disappointment. Though they were able to comfortably survive the winter months (with nearly constant rain), they had hoped to meet a ship for the return trip. The ship never arrived and the party had to return East by foot.Journal Quote: In November of 1805, the U.S. Corps of Volunteers for Northwest Discovery, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, reached the mouth of the mighty Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean at last. "Great joy in camp," Clark wrote in his journal, "we are in View of the Ocian, this great Pacific Octean which we been So long anxious to See." Lewis wrote: “… from this point I beheld the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed, in my frount a boundless Ocean; . . . the Seas rageing with emence wave and brakeing with great force from the rocks of Cape Disappointment as far as I coud See to the N. W. . . . the nitches and points of high land which forms this Corse for a long ways aded to the inoumerable rocks of emence Sise out at a great distance from the Shore and against which the Seas brak with great force gives this Coast a most romantic appearance.”
