Jacob Weasel (Cheyenne River Sioux) goes down in history as the first Native American to summit Mount Everest. It’s a big step in his goal to climb the highest peak on every continent. The rest of the time, he’s an emergency and trauma surgeon at Monument Health Facility in Rapid City, S.D. He also works to mentor young Native Americans, drawing from his own accomplishments to inspire others to follow their dreams. Listen back to Native America Calling’s Native In The Spotlight to learn more about his historic climb.

The longest day of the year is a significant marker of time for many tribes. The summer solstice is a time of traditional celebrations and ceremony. Dozens of tribes throughout history built structures around the sun’s position on June 21. Listen back to Native America Calling for some of the tribal stories and traditions as well as some modern acknowledgements of the day.

Emily Schwing brings us this four-part, month-long series on the new challenges of the Arctic Ocean’s shipping channels and Alaska’s communities which are impacted by the increased traffic, from the Koahnic Broadcast Corp. Climate Desk.

 

5 favorite quotes from Native America Calling’s gator show:

“I got alligators in my background.”

“Oh no. My son got eaten by an alligator.”

“It takes a good man to jump in the water with an alligator.”

“I don’t know how fast he was movin’, but I know how fast I was moving.”

“It’s not ‘if’ you’re going to get bit. It’s ‘when’ you’re going to get bit.”
