do all the cooking and preparing in the kitchen and then all the way my can just like Take 5 and watch football or whatever they’re so it’s hilarious because like know my bosses from my day job,
I tried to imagine them like sitting there with on cell phones arguing about how to cook something slick,
so I don’t like that is like that’s hilarious be a fly-on-the-wall in there speaking world except the United States,
it’s a holiday where bosses,
take the place of their subordinates and vice versa so like kings would serve servants and servants would get to sit on the throne stuff like that and it’s a holiday that goes back centuries and
they celebrating like England Australia New Zealand places like that
yeah I can today but they don’t do it in the US I thought you thought about the guys going to do all the cooking and the girls are putting on the gloves and results travel tips.

boss it seems to in particular have a like commitment to like help people and I’ve I’ve noticed that they do things for holidays and playing their logo.
I know from like a volunteer work thing I did that they’re really good about hiring people with like a criminal record like giving them a chance once they get out of the system and stuff
super good at helping people get back on their feet after that and yeah.

They just sold stuff in there for like 10 bucks at this nice purse for like 10 bucks though and then we ate some tacos and I’m headed out.
Got ready and then we are like 10 minutes late to the concert,

[13:51] Like this much liquor in it how much Tara you’re going to have to drink one cuz I can’t do that don’t go in there and then life.

I got my ready to throw up yeah I wonder why chewing gum trying to like that part because I drive all time I don’t really notice.
If you ever drive with my my boss as you’re going to drive in that way though.

[28:27] Beaded shoes.
Yeah I’ve been saying $500.
They probably would I mean they could easily but I always feel bad whenever I charge more than $20 for my earrings because I,
cost like $5 for me to make true.

[29:01] Yeah Christmas list.

[29:10] How hard are you forgetting.
Smallest beads are wearing.

You need a Santa suit.

[30:57] If anyone can help with a busted I said I was going to be
how cool would it be to see a native Santa,
have some fake braids for it to like way back in the day when I used to be like.

Native students enrolled.

[33:37] Kenilworth gets out of work without all mm you guys could be there fighting way in the morning,
and we’re hoping like we know a couple other people that we think will volunteer but we just got to reach out to him.

[33:59] It’s coming up quick and so there’s still a lot of work to do and we still need volunteers and all that stuff in.
Yeah Lincoln High School the the principles they were really cool and offering the space than the custodians and all that so we’re really thankful to Lincoln High School.
Right on.
If anyone wants to help out in any way like for free to call Indian education in Sioux Falls or my contact info is on the flyer.
Like what other activities are they going to be having the parent committee were going to introduce ourselves,
and then the director of office of Indian education is going to be there and I don’t think a lot of people understand what office of Indian education even does,
what kind of services they can provide and so I asked her if she could speak on those things and so families can hear it,
Well we only have the flyer we don’t have like an event page cuz we’re really just pushing it mostly through the email and our email the emails in the paper copies shirts people the RSVP and Stop & Shop.
This time we’re not pushing heavy on Facebook but the Flyers on Facebook though so yeah and then there will be.

[35:26] The youth Council that’s going to be starting or it’s already formed I guess is they’re calling themselves All Nations.
Student use counsel and so Delilah you know.
I’m sure she’s just like a very passionate young young lady,
speak about like what upcoming activities they have going on and if if students like want to sign up that day and.
They can she can start reaching out and kind of gathering them outside of school and it’s for all schools to sign secluded just to Lincoln High School.
Although that’s where you know it’s originating from but yeah it’s on my really excited to see what they what they have in store and how we can support them.

[36:18] That’s cool so like all schools would have like a it would be like a real school like committee thing or whatever.
Then I can go down the road would be to,
to meet with others like of the surrounding tribes in South Dakota for Sioux Falls cuz I know a lot of the tribal schools get together their student councils to so that you don’t the students here with referees in Sioux Falls.
Right on then we’ll talk about like upcoming events and we’ll have like a suggestion box and I know like when I post it on Facebook there was so much feedback from people who had ideas and,
like I can see the next event being more like incorporating like our language and activity with that and a fun fun game or something.
I’m sorry it’s like learning being a focus and I like our culture unifocus.
And snacks.
People Commerce.
Is it going to be a fry bread making station show people how to make fry bread.
Hamburger macaroni soup.

[37:46] Veggies and fruits and something to be cool to see how those are made so there’s a lot of ideas and I can see it like.
Camping really fun Hands-On interactive that would be a cool thing for like the parade next year to like.
Input in like support in getting that like word out to.
How how great is it to hear from parents but then also hang it from the youth or who go to school and live in this community so.

[38:22] I can see it being really big thing and so this is just kind of the first Gathering want to provide dinner before everyone kind of breaks off and for Christmas break in the new year,

No but that sounds really stupid.

It’s rough.
Oh that’s so dumb laws for that I don’t know what it is 40 going,
something like that.
Katy Perry kid stuff or whatever. Everybody does that fucking
that when I went to DC back in May there’s like,
there’s like a lot of homeless people who like dance or like do something for money so this dude with these just like lay on the lawn chair and all these kids around,
and then he started playing music and then they also flossing,
and there’s like 10 kids black guy and then there he’s getting money like.

[46:49] How do you before that and some homeless guys like hey kids come here I don’t have the White House even,
I went to Washington DC to before and there’s so many homeless people there though.
Yeah and those places in Minneapolis now. K Camp.
Thrifty ready Bout a Thing that’s why you got a spot right now because of those unfortunate you don’t even like you took that to make.
To make the man yeah that’s rough.
That wall or what’s going on with that I’ve been kind of looking at the video to see what,
how is it going to rain the whole thing but anyways they still tear gas.

[48:14] Arizona oh yeah it was Arizona.
I don’t know yeah somewhere like you know what you wanna or something like that I don’t know I was just kind of gathering and just before I came here.
I don’t know anything about it.

[48:33] Are they doing like spraying people in shit when they doing.

[48:45] I don’t like to see people climbing on it or what I don’t know if they’re climbing on it trying to get over to America or what but it’s like,
to load of people I believe you trying to come over isn’t it already yeah it’s it’s one of the migrant Caravans has hit the border and they were trying to,
have climb in and waterproof u.s. border patrol fire the tear gas into.

[49:10] Yeah that’s what it was I’ve been why I was watching that little bit before I got in how hard is it to get citizenship in the United States.
Fairy like even like I feel like I like.
Ultimate test on the United States like everything president
president’s favorite color,
be at this lady’s house and she was like oh I’m taking US citizenship test soon cuz I was like,
everything about the United States
I was working with this guy and he is just naming out everything about USA.
He was going for his citizenship are the damn I didn’t even know that that’s what I mean like I don’t I wouldn’t be able to pass that
children are born in the US,
that. I automatically isn’t Trump trying to like take that away in whatever they’re called yeah it’s.

[50:27] My name is.
Just once people see nothing the other day.
Show them a speech by Obama and then show them a speech by Trump.
People made those speeches for the president.
I like your singing normally someone writes the report though.

[51:09] Yeah I know jobs are so important.
He was doing a speech and then native did a war or crying and then yeah,
what are didn’t do presidents ever reused speeches.

[51:34] Do they fucking stump speeches like when they’re campaigning and then they go like Kansas City and then they go to New Hampshire and stuff I did Hillary use like big chunks fix you’ve ever liked photo campaign for like.
Reporting and stuff like that it’s like,
once you’ve seen one stump speech like John McCain was awful where you use like word for word even the same beats and chokes the point that was just like Jesus Christ by here McCain tell that joke about the drunken sailor in the US budget one more time I’m going to lose it
yeah I think that would be like a hard jobs right like you know cuz sometimes they’re doing like 2-3 speeches a day so somebody’s fucking writing like a crazy speeches worm yeah they are.
I was going to do think but they’re getting paid pretty damn good by anybody standing yeah,
huh that would be a tough job I would think.
Yeah I just think all of it would be you have to like look a certain way be certain way if you’re not then I removed all my God.
I like that girl was that that Cortes their name.
New yeah is it relaxing Cortez.

[52:54] They were talking about how,
the USA have no problem paying for unlimited War.
But like we’re like one of the only like civilized countries that you know that it doesn’t have like.
You know medicine for everybody or whatever medical for everybody was like yeah let’s get a real answer because.
Let’s be important answer you’re going to get that’s socialism yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[53:35] And I seen a another thing I’m talking about that girl and they’re like let’s like they are trying to make her look stupid or whatever and it was like let’s let select more Millennials to Congress and then like somebody replied like,

[1:01:24] Picture on my Facebook anyone wants to read about it,
that like I was thinking about in January testing it out I really hate how much time I’m on social media like fucking,
if you’re not close I’m just fucking scrolling endlessly through my fucking tired of it
am I a t Gordon in the Snapchat and I’ll put my phone down and another 10 minutes and then,
like I don’t put it down like I wanted to do this and then,
it’s like I never put my phone down is like fucking that is the same thing there’s so much money is the best,
it’s like during the financial crisis in like 2007 the best Minds in the country it was a travesty cuz they were all working on stock algorithms and stuff like that for investment subprime things,
right now we’re the best Minds from best schools Engineers are going it’s like they’re going to Facebook specifically to go
how can we get every person to keep scrolling little bit of endorphin release every time they tap on something but not too much so it’s like leveled off and just enough that they constantly need it

[1:02:44] Cold Terry like this post and then just be done with it like fucking just not look at it but.
It’s like it’s like an addiction.
For like a whole month I think it was one time I might like what the hell is wrong with you if you can get ahold of me on my way,

I get text messages or Facebook Messenger things at like 10:30 at night and I’m I’m I go to bed super early and I wake up

that it shows your active all the time I didn’t know that you could turn it off,
yeah because I’m forever active and I hate whenever people are like you were active on Facebook and then see it I turned mine off and then you can turn it back on.
There’s like that it’s a good thing you have like a million and one people like on mute on my fucking phone games like that’s like my favorite thing.

[1:10:52] From my boss cuz she was like do you even celebrate Thanksgiving.

[1:10:57] How do you celebrate your so we did once I know that one meme.
Like I guess nobody’s ever asked me that like personally so it’s like shit like you put me on spot just now.
Oh my God I don’t celebrate like how everybody else celebrates in the world I was like but I’m most thankful for everything I have it’s like interesting them cuz like,
I feel like majority of people don’t probably celebrate it like how.

[1:11:27] Think you know I think Thanksgiving is come so far that people really don’t celebrate.
These people that just got off the Mayflower you sign o n e mean,
they don’t even think of it like that made me think of it as like football and food family get together for the holidays,
and Thanksgiving is one so I’m course people are going to take that day you know you know the travel or whatever.

[1:11:59] I’m not like brushing history under the rug or anything but it’s just not I don’t think it stands for what.

[1:12:08] Totally again I guess it’s like Christmas I don’t celebrate Christmas.

[1:12:16] What death I don’t I have never had a Christmas tree in my adult life I don’t celebrate
not I love me too I hope I did not get my tree up I do have a daughter like I wouldn’t celebrate it at all like I feel obligated to buy stuff for my daughter because like you know everybody else gets signed up but Lake,
yeah other than like yeah I’ve never had a Christmas tree,
I mean like,
well me and all my extended family get-together at my parents house which is basically designed to host the giant fees for Christmas and Christmas Eve I usually have to get dressed up as Santa and like sneak in through the back door.

[1:13:04] When you stuff used to get all these gigantic God damn presents and so,
I just leave the house except for the one time but then the neighbors were like well you’ve done so then,
then I had to drive like 6 miles down the road it’s out in the middle of the country and snow in a pickup and I got to drive to the neighbor’s house.
You have to realize I’m showing up in the big Ford pickup it’s clearly The Neighbors.
Anyway we go we go really knots with it and then yeah it’s Amanda and her family did not really get into that my wife and.

[1:13:52] After one Christmas with with us just like we’re always going to your place for Christmas deal.

[1:13:58] Hey babe good food too then huh waster stew the night before but my mom does a ham for me at a mercy and then rhyme.

She does Cornish hens and Prime hey what’s up this is the five until man hey what’s up how you doing man.

[1:14:25] Can you be here with you it’s all good man want to say Happy Belated Birthday to man.

[1:14:34] Call Dan thank you brother that means a lot thank you man thank you no problem until you were just in Iowa last night right.

[1:14:42] Yeah man I actually just today too as I just flew into the performances is literally one of those how is that was the show.

[1:14:57] The show was pretty cool is my first time there and you know I like going to places I’ve been to I mean I haven’t been to before cuz it’s like you’re starting all over again.
Yeah to do a performance so it was cool man yet the next time was that was Talent on that show.

[1:15:21] Allen was in that reminded me of the time he did a performance with him in Philadelphia yeah yeah I seen he was live last night performing on Facebook and then,
that’s the same shit that identifies that or whatever so.

[1:15:38] That’s cool I didn’t I didn’t know he was like still out there doing it and always like opening a studio or something like that in Eagle Butte or whatever but.
I’m glad he’s still out there doing stuff yeah that’s a real there was good to see him and she’s at and on the micro.
How he’s doing with the efforts with the given the studio X.
And I guess wherever he’s from yeah yeah so I wanted to get you on the on the podcast this week cuz.
You’ve done something that like I’ve never heard any native hip hop artist do witches fucking tour in Africa.
Which is fucking crazy as fuck to me like how did that happen like how did you get hooked up with that and tell us how it was.

[1:16:32] All the artists that I was while I was out there doing some.
What is an international cultural Exchange program that’s called Next Level and what that is basically is a program that they Treehouse build Bridges between communities.
I would say that aren’t being built by like Trump’s agenda you know it’s like it’s sort of like where I can and adult
program itself I mean is like an antidote to what trumps doing their Building Bridges Trump’s basically wanted to build walls but and cultural diplomacy and,
Shirley just Positive Vibes in music is how this program drives and works in
basically this year so I was part of Nigeria.
Five or six other teams out there right now is actually a team that’s out and Guatemala so I just returned from my residency and how is out there to help Nigerian hip-hop artist three main fields
play me an artist education entrepreneurship and conflict transformation.

[1:17:49] Come to find out a lot of artist also have a lot of similar similarities that that we share too and I needed some help
hoping monetizer are formatted craft witches.
Step by step process so we weren’t out there on that and I learned so much from all the artists,
I told the artist out there like you know that you never know who’s going to be watching when you’re performing and so you got to be you know they’ve been a good first impression and that’s kind of how I got the performance.
Years ago a friend of mine was.
The reservation to try to search for hip-hop and he stumbled upon one of my performances while I was in Shiprock New Mexico.
Anyway like I would have got the opportunity from performing out of my butt,
some friends you got me out to DC for international Hip Hop,
Festival in paw prints then after that.
Recommended me to the program data he was part of it as an artist educator and they allow you to do that once per country per artist.

[1:19:14] Know if you do more work with next level than you have to kind of work around that,
roll that you can’t go to another country as an artist educator so he’s a lot of room for a lot of practitioners in the end it feels like I said for me to
I was just one of the team members has AMC we also had a dancer.

[1:19:35] Facial artist that beat maker and a site manager and videographers,
everybody is very good at what they do an element are they practice
selected by their ability to like be able to give back to the communities that they’re from
and that’s kind of how I was selected to buy doing a lot of just working with not being like a self-serving entrepreneur but I like serving others and still being able to
get mines in a sense in the midst of it all somehow but it was an amazing experience
broaden my scope as far as I how much connected even though
is really remarkable to see in witness to collaborations we had an unforgettable man and I got three songs and it actually we got music video done out there too so hopefully someday I’ll share that with you,
nice yeah that’s awesome and how many shows did you guys do out there.

[1:20:47] Can we do like to see shows but the main show at the end was when we were we were also given some time to prep,
each of these artists that we were working with so we put on an entire like actual show show at the end,
the dancers got to dance to know all the artist got to do this thing and.
Nancy’s and performers got to perform and they have to do it in front of the community.
Dallas big man but,
does does the does the music get here in the states over there or is it like a different energy or whatever.

[1:21:38] It’s definitely a different energy but they ain’t they everything over there they speak and understand or like they listen to it and I know
what English language very well it’s funny because when I was talking to a lot of the End season artist out there.
They brought up a time when the rap group Migos went out there and they didn’t get a response that they normally get here in the US and the Amigos went on an interview
and they stated that,
that Nigerian don’t understand English and that’s why they weren’t giving him the response that they normally get in the US
they speak and listen to hear they know English very well it’s just that they pay attention to the lyrics so much that Migos wasn’t offering that much for their pallet I guess.
You know they were giving me goes to the love that they normally get.
Because they weren’t feeling their music in actuality which I thought was kind pay attention to lyrical content and that actually matters out there.
That was cool to see Witness,
yeah that’s what’s up we need to take a little bit of a lesson maybe from the Nigerians and Ice 12 how how long were you over there for.

[1:23:04] Over there for just about 3 weeks.
The biggest cities are there Lagos and Abuja.

[1:23:19] When we were there we were supposed to do two residencies but we did one residency man it’s amazing these artists.
Some what kind of risking a lot just to do what they love and have a voice things like that so what we were there.
Sad sad news app and then I guess one of their cheeks from one of the local areas was kidnapped this and that and a lot of the artists.
We’re faced with the Dilemma because they have lockdowns with their standards of cities when you can’t leave.
Because you know it’s very dangerous to but the artist like literally like snuck out of their Town’s curfew and just to kind of partake in The Residency program
wow that’s a lot for
some of the artists.
And I’ve been relieved really pushes forward and we had a good leadership man so like it was a really good turnout all and all.
More than that it was just really great to find his family and learn from each other man.
That’s scary so or are you allowed to just like roam around on your own or did you have like chaperones or like how did Pat of that work.

[1:24:44] You know what the situation right there is very dangerous so they they they they didn’t wanted,
is there any danger at all so we were able to travel and armor to bulletproof dance to any time we went to a residencies and leave our hotel compound
yo US citizens and at that time they’re probably even right now still were allowed out of the city limits.
Same amount of luxury the Privileges we do here in the US,
Matt real out there too so the hotel is very safe I guess like what we were staying there like Prince Charles
England or somewhere you staying at the same Hotel so I was like well if he’s staying here
right yeah that’s crazy man would you go back over there again if given the opportunity.

[1:25:55] Call definitely have word and they were trying to figure ways out immediately lays when we can try to come back and.
And build again and maybe do a another performance.

[1:26:07] So yeah I really hope but I can come back out there as long as my Visa allows me to.

[1:26:15] How long is that flight oh man the flight is crazy though he have to go from the you know if I’m from Albuquerque so.
It’s not like a huge International Airport when you get a jump off from here to another country but so I had to go from here to Chicago and Chicago to Frankfurt Germany in the Germany to Abuja.
And I was just stretched I think total on my way total time from my time back and.
Albuquerque 7 hours.
Yeah I was so tired though like after the the whole experience that I just stayed up the whole time and slept as much as I could on the airport you know how it is yeah that’s crazy man,
hey I get anxiety bad so I don’t think I could make that flight I’d be in the middle seat to somewhere,
with a bunch of strangers for that amount of time as it is for sure like a anxiety,
right on yeah that’s awesome man so what what are you what are you what are you working on now.

[1:27:39] So now that I got back after they could you not,
alumni for the program enables to apply for Grants as I got a US ambassador I’m trying to like seats a little bit of sponsorship would be cool to like trying to do something
like what the program has done to other countries to retire on reservations.com.
And there might even be a loophole around like working and doing something like that aren’t on my res cuz we’re somewhere to Soccer Nation and.
Program works with Nations like that so yeah.
Why can’t we like be able to help our own people we should be cool to try to do that and they they had a budget which allowed me to
read the studio that I came to the came in with to build with with the practitioners in Partners there I thought that was really cool and important cuz usually when I’m doing these
shops in residencies
cuz you have to leave and usually I never able to leave my studio with anyone you know what I mean
it was cool to get the to be able to do that.

[1:28:57] That was kind of a unique experience to be able to just leave the studio but even just traveling with one across the world was tough man.
First time bringing a studio through TSA and everybody was just mean Muggin.
What the heck is all this equipment in Nigeria
just some random experience as I could talk about was just like everything was good and hotel was very clean but when I was,
downstairs. Night I was always wondering why I like all the females kept staring in the,
play some stuff come to find out that they were all pros and
course I didn’t take any bites on anything.
Cool cool we’ll leave Amazon I said I just came here to do one thing and that’s working I respect you your people your country things like that
it was kind of tough at first to like this telling the gauges no no
how much I guess.

[1:30:15] Colonization exist out there too when I left I thought I was going to leave to a place that didn’t celebrate any holidays but they actually had it Halloween parties in all kinds of stuff that reminded me of being back home,
in a way that’s cool that’s crazy.
Right on yeah that’s inspiring man like I said I just wanted to talk to you about that cuz I wanted to just get here as some stories about it cuz that’s that’s nuts man I always hear people going to like.
You know to Europe and things but never to Africa so that’s pretty awesome man.

[1:30:56] Yeah I’m glad it was able to do to be able to have that is like my first opportunity to really go overseas and somewhere.
And just to be of service there too and yeah.
Even though we’re not Caucasian and white has come to find out we definitely have a lot of privilege still here as US citizens in.

[1:31:22] I’m coming from the reservation sometimes if you never get out it’s interesting cuz you know.
And I necessarily able to see that privilege at all cuz me and on the rez and staying on the rez.
It’s like that so that’s the life and everything you know then and yeah he might not be able to even realize that they,
Goodyear Barley’s someone by then I don’t want to see better but just like we have a lot of privileges you know even still so that was interesting that they asked about how it was for us. He answered for natives in general,
I’m just one date is out of all of us I can only share at least how I see it from my perspective but yeah it was a great experience just to be able to share ideas and exchange.
Familiar faces hell yeah that’s awesome man will shit we definitely appreciate you jumping on the podcast again this week man.
Yeah it’s it’s an inspiring story and definitely something I wanted to know more people to give me a coin it with or whatever so we definitely appreciate you coming on.
