The Fifth Estate: Investigating Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Claims to Indigenous Ancestry (Oct. 27, 2023)
Earlier this summer, something called the Goshute Climbing Club took shape with youth of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation. Issues of access, cost, gear, and safe spaces all had to come together for this unique project. RadioACTive hears more from some of the players, including:
Chuck Naranjo, Wellness and Diabetes Program coordinator for his tribe, Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation
Photographer/climber Tara Kerzhner (Nez Perce), who also acted as a liaison between the project and the Native-owned creative and athletic collective, Natives Outdoors
Elizabeth Neilson, a physical therapist at Sacred Circle Healthcare
Eugene Tapahe, local Diné artist + photographer gives us an update about Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project and upcoming events featuring Eugene's work. "His art is bringing global attention to Native American issues through the healing power of the Ojibwe jingle dress dance. The project originated from a dream he had to unite the beauty of the land with the jingle dress dance."
