www.podbean.com/eau/pb-jvy98-162395c
Historically, and still today, the Mighty Few (a District of the Apsáalooke or Crow Nation in Southeast Montana) have proven their name through resourcefulness, determination, and strength in unity. Witness the process of this community strengthening their connection to identity, the land, and community togetherness. Through truly grassroots efforts, the Mighty Few are guiding action that creates necessary healing, economic opportunities, and self-determination to thrive into the future. We hope this episode can be used to support the work featured, as well as provide insight for other communities looking to create greater opportunities from within.
This is Part 2 of 2 of our episodes on the Mighty Few. We HIGHLY encourage you to first listen to Part 1, as it provides essential context. Part 2 expands on youth empowerment, connections to traditional cultures, and the approaches necessary to move this community development work forward in a good way.
This episode pairs with the film Life in the Land: The Mighty Few. The Life in the Land project is a series of films that hears from folks around Montana speaking to the value in community-guided and holistic approaches within the landscape. The content is available for free at LifeintheLand.org

    Notice especially the word's "Black Feet"! Today you can't find a so called native American with Black Feet! Trickery at it's worst, Liers and deceivers they've been all this time! In Biblical Scriptures Yahua is depicted as having bronze feet! Bronze color only sounds Black to me😊

    I mention this for the benefit of our family especially in our desert lands, there is free energy Tesla technology available 1 thought to become a major contributor would be to investigate development of this type of equipment it's definitely electronic in nature. Set up a LLC small company, use your brightest young creative minds to look at what it takes and come up with modern real world simple solutions to put a box in every home free energy for all, there is also generating water out of thin air is a fact, if the Navajo maybe with university students in degree programs or multiple fields took these 2 obvious very necessary needs. Considering a non political agenda to advance this for all people, but obvious the initial reason is the current food shortage, water shortages etc.. put a positive spin on an immediate need create this for yourselves but to manufacture collect the knowledge to create the processes and over simplify this into a business model uniquely Navajo don't take the what ever information or schematic or diagrams and just use those yes of course 1st development to analyze it, but gets these young brilliant minds in touch with their own abilities to expand and ask questions what can we do to simplify this create the process that does the same thing utilizing your own unique blend of the information and data. I don't know exactly what I am saying but let's say the equipment needs a wiring harness how to harness it easier doing the same thing, like the old days when a radiator is over heating cus it's leaking, I know for sure horse manure blended with fine aluminum shaving put into the radiator stops leaking, I know it had to be a Native American that made money on that, I saw a guy doing that selling it to gas stations across the western United States using a cement mixer and plastic tube container with plastic caps at each end just horse manure and aluminum shaving, radiator stop leak. That didn't hurt the equipment. Or environment Unique brilliant simpler then lots of poisonous chemicals and solutions that would probably kill those exposed to it. Doing the same thing, cheaper, easier, more profitable need only a few people etc.. that's my example to point someone of the Dine in this direction free energy and water it's already out there. I bet your young inelegant students in engineering schools given an opportunity to build something with the right intention by leadership could create the way I think the Suix with Gateway Computer turned into Visuo TV even. Hw do I know, I am a business man and helped y friend as he and both grew into whole are helped each other he helped Mr make monet then after hit him into the companies that are players fir hi to move even much larger volumes, men help each other they donthurt one another to make money and support the community but not for greed, to bless humanity just got to get some support for the effort. Be Blessed I love the Dine people I was exposed to your loving nature as a child and admire the character and moral beliefs the self respect, I was a 10 to 12 year old a beautiful little Dine girl truly showed me the word "kindness" shy and quiet, we spoke without words and understood just by our eyes, thank you if someone want to discuss this further. I never do this mind you now I do, you got my name on the comment H5H-B5D-G43A thats gemotria to connect with me, all love and blessing to your people. I'm moving to Derango CO in a few days from San Diego CA fyi will be closer too. Peace to my family

      Its time to build the new economy don't label qa in the past a political factor but Trump is changing everything yew the new economy must be dreamed up now dy dream qbiut qnythuh your passionate about, the Chinese won't get all the business I mentioned wiring harnesses every car has a few if them everything electrical uses them there are distributor that stock those components several that compete vigorously with each other looking for new ideas and businesses to support get leadership to look at ways of getting major contracts from the new emerging American market that is going to be completely new please dream big the bigger you dream the higher you achieve trust our family got to speak with confidence to business leaders guarantee the college grqdw are having difficulty finding jobs, leadership seek with proper intention what new field can you develop to participate in creating your own unique sustainable situation say like Elon Musk I'm his many companies he out sources products get a string warrior to get a meeting sit down talk say qe are hard working people talented in many things is there some emerging situation your going to out source that with your help Mr Musk we could d3v3lope sustainable business with one if your companies go for the top dog if you get 1 contract for 5 million widgets you can 2 then 3 then other companies produce top quality widgets right I the Navajo nation because we know the 3nvir9nment is holy mother earth your not going create or develop anything negative to your beliefs if it is harmful Muwk know how to remedy the situation or resolve the acid let's say. Go big on intentions fail at first try again stay in touch work it see what I saying soingqiring harnesses for any company tha manufactures you could take over the foreign market in enough time selling locally there are huge opportunities coming participate do not go at this in the current traditional methods must think a new way a new economic sustainable future is gonna be created by someone the DINE love mother earth who better to manage a situation find solutions from within yourself to maintain the moral fiber you have while creating this new economy that is coming in I believe you may know there is large funds coming available to so the things I speaking of with all love and hope amd belief someone younger then I needs the vision of your societies future I am not talking casino's I am tqlkingvreal stuff here.. thanks for reading this

    That coal mine was the only source of income for hundreds of families and the only thing propping up the local economy. Now it's gone in place of "green" energy that is not clean, nor is it efficient. With the mine closed the lack of opportunity is driving the locals away because there is no opportunity and many of the youth in families that have stayed are turning to drugs. Coal may not be the best option, but it was the only option for many and cutting it off without some sort of plan on how to retrain and bring jobs back Into the community is a death blow.

    Indigenous Americans may have been the first human scientists in modern America, Canada and Mexico... but I'd argue the first scientists were humans and allegedly Indigenous Americans are the most recent branch of humanity and the last to migrate to these geographical places before humans made deep ocean fairing ships. So they'd be the last human scientists before western science was developed.

Bob Quinn’s story illustrates how growing organic wheats and Kamut can both turn a profit and provide healthy food. Call to action: promote, grow, and consume food that sustains the soil, water and healthy bodies. Consumers : demand an end to the norm of the failing and deadly cycle of chemical poisonous fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides!
