Recap February with us, from Čhaŋté skúya - Čhaŋšáša - CAP & AIM!

Aƞpetu Waste! On this episode, we are sharing our experiences and lessons learned from T̄aṫaƞka / P̄te / Bison / Buffalo 🦬 From Prairie Grasslands to Dinner Table, we also share our favorite meals that incorporate T̄aṫaƞka and how you too can enjoy these delicious meals. 🌮🍲🍝🍔🌯 

Our relatives can teach us so much, we just need to slow down and observe. Maybe you too, will find inspiration or join us in another episode to share your experience(s) with that buffalo. 😊🌱

Onáḣ’uŋ waṡté! We're back! In this episode we're discussing securing a home in YOUR NAME. But as we talked to Cliff Shouldis, Carm's dad, he brought up a good point, "is a home really yours if your paying taxes, and insurance on it?" In a world, that forces us to focus on economy, and we have jobs that contribute to the capital world, it can be difficult to remember our purpose and our spirituality. Let's never forget that. This is an earth experience we're in, and everything is indeed spiritual.

However, in this reality, today we are talking about a mortgage, a topic that Foster and I get asked about a lot. So we decided to make this into a podcast conversation. We could actually branch off and talk about land, renovations, auto loans, etc. So please if you want to engage in anyway by being a guest on the podcast, or want to connect on this topic; comment or message us on any platform! 🏡🌲🌾

Join us as we visit with KMO (Karen) and Hollis, [Hollis’ business is called 🔥🤲🏽🍃13th Seat Herbal Project] who are avid plant identifiers and harvesters. Their passion and joy they have is something Foster and Carm both share!🦋🐝🦇 

We discussed favorite plants, harvesting protocols, who taught us, and really cool facts! 🍓🌿🐿️

Can you hear us while we’re coloring? We colored various pages of floral art, pollinators, pokémon, and wild flowers pictures! 🖍️🗒️📒

Did you know that the lodge pole pine is even taller than the ponderosa pine? & that Lakota people most likely used either of these to make extremely tall tipis!? 🌲🪵🦬

Join us today to hear about our gardening journey, after 5 years! We began in 2020, during the pandemic, switched locations those first 2 years, and now for the past 3 years we’ve been building and expanding more in depth in our home of White River! 🥕🥒🥔🍅

If you ever want to come visit our garden, you are more than welcome to. We love having friends over, and our animals love having company!!

Toksa!

Join us for about an hour to hear our language journeys from child hood to middle school, high school, college, and entering our careers! 🎙️

We are actually coloring, so beware of scratching/coloring noises lol. 🖍️

Please comment or reach out to us if you'd love to share your language journey, there is a gift included for guests! 🗣️

Listen to our lak̇ót̄a updates, and how we’re pivoting on the podcast for some changes coming soon.
