00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:03.520
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:07.240
It's time now for Charon key Chat
is the name of our program here

3
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.000
today, and we have with this
Misty Wishall and John Weston and welcome back

4
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.439
to the scene of the crime.
We were just here by a week ago,

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.199
weren't we. That's right, it's
Stajavoo all over again. Tom,

6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.800
But tell us a little bit about
something. We're going to be doing this

7
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.920
on Monday's alternating Mondays here for yes, we are for for a good long

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.800
while here. So tell the folks
what we're all about and what's going to

9
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.640
happen. Well, I was approached
when we had the meeting here with Lieutenant

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.799
Governor Padel and the Chief Chief Hoskin
by Lyle Martin. He's the president of

11
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.840
the Coffee ill Cooperative Credit Union.
And there's a show that they have up

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.640
in KGGF one of your stations up
there, six ninety, that's right,

13
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.280
and it's called fry Red Journeys,
and it covers a lot of the issues,

14
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.280
you know, concerning a lot of
the communities we have, education,

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.960
a lot of the issues affecting the
tribe. And so we thought, hey,

16
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.320
hey, why don't We have a
program down here like this that covers

17
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.239
the communities that we have here in
District twelve, which is basically a no

18
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.519
Wada and well parts of no Wada
in Washington County, a little bit of

19
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.640
Rogers and and just you know,
just let everyone know what's going on the

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.079
communities, but also let maybe people
know what's going on with Cherokee Nation,

21
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.159
you know, just kind of bring
awareness to some of these things. And

22
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.719
what we feel is we want to
be a show that's not limited in scope

23
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.840
because we feel that all cultures have
something to contribute, they all have value.

24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.519
So you know, we have the
Lenape, the Delaware tribe of Indians

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.359
here in Barnasville. They're headquartered here
in Barnsville. We have the oce Age

26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.959
over in Osage County, of course, and you know, we have the

27
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.480
Shawnee, who are kind of in
our area and they're adopted Yes you're Shawnee.

28
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.319
Yeah, and they were adopted Cherokee. I got to talk to you

29
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.680
about that, Yeah, yeah,
absolutely, and uh. And so you

30
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.359
know, we we want to cover
kind of all of our bases with it,

31
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.959
but also things that are important for
the community. And you know,

32
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:06.200
we have a concept in Cherokee Nation
and something that we're kind of ingrained with,

33
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.159
and it's it's a concept that a
lot of people, especially in Cherokee

34
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.039
Nation. It's called kadugie and that
just means community. And basically, in

35
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.599
the early days of the tribe,
if people were in need, you had

36
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.599
a group of people they would go
around and they would do different things for

37
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.439
those people and if it was baking
bread or say chopping wood or whatever they

38
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.800
needed to help them out. And
I think that, I really think that

39
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.719
as a people, we have carried
that with us, those traditions with us

40
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.639
on through the years. And I
think really if you think about it,

41
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.599
for example, we went you know
through the trail teers. We've had a

42
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.240
lot of adversity in our tribe.
And I really believe that the only thing

43
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.800
you really learned from that, the
most valuable lesson you learned from that is

44
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.639
the only thing you can really depend
on is one another. And I think

45
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.199
the goodoogie, in the spirit of
goodogi, I think that's what we do

46
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:04.479
is as a community between CCC and
w c c A and NAFIE and you

47
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.599
know, we the communities, you
know, we've all learned to work together

48
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.240
we always try to help each other
out. And I think that that's it's

49
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.960
just part of being a Cherokee community. But the cool thing about that is,

50
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.080
and how I see it benefiting our
community here in Bartsville, is that

51
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.280
we carry that over in the communities
that we live in too. You know,

52
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.280
we try to serve our communities.
In fact, we have somebody with

53
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.800
us here today that's no strength.
I was gonna say, by God,

54
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.319
that's where you got that? You
yes, exactly right. It's it's her

55
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:40.080
Cherokee. It's her Cherokee heritage showing
through. And you know, but but

56
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.800
I'm really happy to have her with
us here today as a guest. She's

57
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.639
a terrific person. She has such
a heart for this community and she's the

58
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.960
current director of the Mary Martha Outreach
here in Barnsville. And it's good to

59
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.719
have you with us today. And
mister, you have a big event coming

60
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.000
we do. Yes. This Saturday, March ninth, we have our annual

61
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.639
five K fundraiser Shamrock Theville, and
it's our only fundraiser for Catholic charities Mary

62
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.400
Martha Outreach and most people are familiar
with that, but it's food pantry and

63
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:18.319
crisis help here in Bartlesville, and
we're taking sign ups until noon on Wednesday,

64
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.079
and it's our fifteenth year, so
we're really hoping to make it our

65
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.000
biggest yet. So so, how
have you seen it grow over the years,

66
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.240
Well, just the word of mouth
and just helping. I think Facebook

67
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.240
has helped a lot. As of
this morning, we have six hundred and

68
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.800
twenty one runners, so we're really
breathing down our goal or our record's next,

69
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.800
so we're really hopeful us do it. How many did you start out

70
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.000
with, like in your first few
years, Well, that was prior to

71
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.839
my time, but I mean since
I've been there, we've had between five

72
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.639
and six seven hundred so and this
will be my six to one so but

73
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.120
yeah, I mean it's just grown
every year. So and so the proceeds

74
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.920
go to benefit Mary Martha Allensolu.
It is do you guys provide any other

75
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.199
services? We do, so we
have a clothing room and we also have

76
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.959
furniture and crisis help and for we
help with burnout and domestic violence victims.

77
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.199
We work closely with the Delaware Tribe
and Ray of Hope and any other community

78
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.839
agency that may need us. So
we're we're being a community collaborator. Collaborator

79
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:26.240
is one of our top priorities.
So you have a you have a website

80
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.560
for Shamrock We do. It's shamrock
theeviille dot com. Yeah, it's pretty

81
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.000
us. Yes, we're still looking
for volunteers because we put them on each

82
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.079
street corner. But you can still
pre register for twenty five dollars until the

83
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.360
day of it's thirty five. So
and the T shirts are super cool.

84
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.720
So if anything, sign up to
get a T shirt. I sign absolutely.

85
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.160
I'm not a runner neither. You
don't have to, that's right.

86
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.839
You can walk and you can just
come cheer. Yeah, exactly right.

87
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.360
You can be a couch runner.
That's a lazy boy caest pilot. Yes

88
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.279
you can. We actually have a
cheering from the couch, right, And

89
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.920
so you're going to be giving out, you're gonna be having contests at Shamrockville.

90
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.079
Well, we used to have cow
traces, but those got they could

91
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.959
be dangerous. But actually, now
that it's chipped in timed, people don't

92
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.959
have to wait to get the final
numbers in for their time and the results.

93
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.680
So people kind of got a little
bored. They wanted to find out

94
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.680
you know right then, so we're
able to find out the runners the winners.

95
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.040
So we don't do that anymore.
But we just have fun, you

96
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.759
know. We have a photo booth
and we just there's a lot of a

97

Okay, John, these are collectors items,

116
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.560
are I know? Yeah, but
I'm also wearing a collector's item.

117
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.920
This is my my cherokey. Yeah, I'm wearing it because tomorrow, if

118
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.680
if you remember, is the is
the primary for presidential primary SIS and and

119
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.839
so you go vote at your local
precinct or polling location and the polls open

120
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.920
at seven and they close at seven. So it's very important. I think

121
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.959
voting is right. We definitely need
the exercise so we don't lose it.

122
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.800
Absolutely, And if you don't vote, I don't feel you have a right

123
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:24.079
to complain. No, definitely use
a little bit more colorful, yeah exactly,

124
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.560
yeah, not for the radio.

00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.200
was in a American Express commercial when
they had a Charge the Hunger campaign that

151
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.720
played during a Beatles anthology. I
mean, he is, he is well

152
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.240
known, just a multitude of awards, and he's an all around humble,

153
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.919
great guy. He is, you
know, and he's a big guy with

154
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.600
a big heart. You know,
he really is, and you know,

155
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.679
and he wants to take the time
to talk with you about Cherokee culture language.

156
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.000
I mean, I learned so much
from him just just traveling around the

157
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.440
same circles, you know. But
yeah, hold up, yeah, let's

158
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.960
hold this up. This is the
autograph flute. Yeah there you go,

159
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.879
right there. Yeah, and the
autography is right there. That is Tommy

160
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.200
Wildcat's signature. Yeah. Absolutely.
And he makes he handmakes these. He

161
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.279
goes and gathers the river cane.
Uh. He he sort of sendes the

162
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.879
edges and I know he drills them
out and drills the holes. And I've

163
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.279
watched him. He's done videos and
how he does the process, and it's

164
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.360
pretty amazing how he just goes out
and collects him and builds a flute.

165
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.720
You know. Top of that,
he plays like nobody's business. Oh absolutely,

166
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.200
Yeah. Well, I'm also want
to do a few announcements about our

167
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.879
communities that we have here. She
mentioned CCC, which is the Cherokee Culture

168
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.840
Community. It's located at seven hundred
East Durham and Dewey. You turn east

169
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.639
right before you get to the Dollar
General on the southern edge of town.

170
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.759
During this time of year, the
community meetings are typically on Saturdays at noon,

171
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.440
and that's for daylight savings time because
We realize that a lot of attendees

172
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.759
have a difficulty driving at night,
so as a courtesy to those folks,

173
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.039
they try to have Saturday meetings so
that more people can have an opportunity to

174
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.080
do attend But I think that this
month we're going back to third Thursday.

175
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.919
This month, they're going back to
their third Thursday and those meetings are usually

176
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.000
at six six pm. And hey, here's the thing too. They usually

177
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.440
post post about their meetings on their
Facebook page and keep you up current on

178
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.080
events, so be sure to follow
the Cherokee Cultural Community Facebook page in Dewey.

179
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.919
And the other exciting thing which Misdy
alluded to is the establishment of two

180
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.320
Cherokee Nation offices to help our tribal
citizens. One is the Cherokee Nation Career

181
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.799
Services and the other human resources offices
that we have. Career Services is open

182
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.320
from eight to five Monday through Friday. Feel free to drop in the human

183
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.679
resources office now it's not quite open
yet, yeah, but it's going to

184
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.159
be open soon, very soon.
So that's going to be another way we

185
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.320
can provide services for Cherokees in this
area. Now at the Washington County Cherokee

186
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.679
Association in Oceanida, that's next door
the Kuyskui Health Clinic, where I'm secretary

187
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.600
of the board. We'll be hosting
a Cherokee National Treasurer, Danny McCarter,

188
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.879
who specializes in traditional Cherokee weaponry to
includes the boat, making, blow dart

189
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.039
guns and blow darts. He's very
knowledgeable about Cherokee history and culture. In

190
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.399
fact, we're going to have a
live demonstration right there in our building of

191
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.120
him using a blow dart gun making
blow darts. I hope my fingers are

192
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.799
crossed that all is going to go
well. Remember Xhale don't in here.

193
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.200
Yeah, yeah, And we're going
to probably distribute the safety I word everyone,

194
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.879
just to be on the safe side. Anyway. That's Thursday evening,

195
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.919
March seventh, and six pm.
All right, I want to thank you.

196
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.720
