<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>time now for Native Beat right here on Kay one.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>brings friends always absolutely.

5
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Tom Osio Nagata, Hello everyone, Osta son Ala, good morning,

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and happy Wednesday, as we say in Cherokee. She and

7
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 2>a ega. Today I'm enjoined by someone well known throughout

8
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>the Cherokee Reservation and someone who I consider a dear friend,

9
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Chris Crane. Chris is the host of Friedbred Journeys at

10
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>our sister station in Coffeeville, the mighty sixth ninety KGGF.

11
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 2>In addition to that, Chris is the secretary of Native

12
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>American Fellowship, one of our Native communities in South Coffeeville,

13
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>of which I'm a proud member, and she's the office

14
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>manager through Cherokee Nation for the Goodoogi Core program based there.

15
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Chris and I met a couple of years ago when

16
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I was a regional film director for the Hoskin Warner

17
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>reelection campaign. She was one of my field organizers, and

18
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>in spite of that, we remain friends. So she's someone

19
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>who wears many hats, and we're happy to have her

20
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>with us on the show this morning, But before we begin,

21
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>we like to thank our small ansor Tomahawk's Supply. Tomahawk

22
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>is a locally owned Native family business here to supply

23
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>you with all your business needs, whether it's in the

24
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>area of office supplies, food service, janitorial packaging, or other needs.

25
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>If it's a special item you need, they'll do their

26
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>best to get it for you. Give them a call

27
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>today at nine one eight sixty three nine two two

28
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>three seven. Check them out at Facebook on their Facebook page,

29
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>or their website at okatamahawk dot com. I'm going to

30
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>brag a little bit on the Odor Dace tom He

31
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and

32
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>he's a proud Cherokee. We're absolutely blessed here in Bardsville

33
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>to have wonderful people who live here and support our community,

34
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and Dace and his family are terrific. I know several

35
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>local business owners here and I encourage everyone to buy

36
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>locally because when you do, that's why I think, goes

37
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>right back into our local economy. Those dollars have a

38
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>ripple effect and they improve the quality of life here

39
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>for everyone. So buy local if you can. Native Bee

40
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>would also like to thank you our listeners for your

41
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>continued support and tuning in. Chris, how are you this morning?

42
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm okay, great, pretty drive over from Coville. Yeah, absolutely

43
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 3>nice and chili and nippy outside.

44
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 4>It's like kind of like fall weather.

45
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Fall is definitely here. In fact, I was just not

46
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>putting up my Christmas lights this past weekend. Oh really

47
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 2>in shorts because it agrees that day and I thought,

48
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get it done before it gets really cold,

49
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and I'm out here freezing trying to hang up these lights.

50
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Actually, Tom and I were talking beforehand about Christmas decorations

51
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 3>out here in the station, how pretty the office looks.

52
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>And I've been doing a little different this year. I've

53
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 3>been just cleaning everything out and putting things away, So

54
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of very bare in my living and dining

55
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>room right now. And then this weekend we will then

56
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 3>begins the decorations.

57
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

58
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, our house is already decked out. It was decked

59
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>out like two weeks ago, so good for you. And

60
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do it. Don't give me credit for it.

61
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm just having the better half. Well not

62
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>even that. It's actually my granddaughter's mother, Okay, she likes

63
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to decorate.

64
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 4>So she that's fantastic.

65
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>Five Christmas trees up.

66
00:02:59.360 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 4>In the house.

67
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>You have a Christmas for us. That's exactly right. We

68
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>want a little bit of Christmas in every room.

69
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 1>There you go.

70
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>So, as I mentioned in the intro, you wear mini hats. Right. So,

71
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>something fairly recently you've become involved in is the Cherokee

72
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Nation Goodoogie Corp Program. Yes, uh, those they listen listening,

73
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they may wonder, you know what is this word goodoogie?

74
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>It's something that we talk about a lot in Cherokee Nation,

75
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and good Doogie is a cultural concept that is really

76
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>ingrained as the Cherokees, and it's all about and it's

77
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 2>really honored by us. It's all about working together for

78
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the common good. Chief host Can signed an executive order

79
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 2>implementing the Godogie Core Program and its aim is to

80
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>increase volunteerism and participation in programs under this office to

81
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>solve problems or provide support at the local level across

82
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the Cherokee Reservation. And I thought it was a very

83
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>interesting concept because, I mean, who knows better the needs

84
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>of your community than the people that are in that community?

85
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Exactly yeah so' and doing so I think that if

86
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>you if you do a service, and this is kind

87
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>of what I've learned along the way because I've volunteered

88
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with many programs, you can strengthen your Cherokee identity and community.

89
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's a great program and I think

90
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that it's something we need to impress upon the youth.

91
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's just the other way to get youth

92
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>involved and maybe have a mentorship program, do different activities

93
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to help with aptitudes like reading, mathematics, science skills. They're

94
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>going to help them as they.

95
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Go into the work.

96
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>They did Sean Critten and who's the former tribal counselor,

97
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 3>is actually the person in charge of Goodogi Corps. He's

98
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 3>the executive director, and they did earlier this summer they

99
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>did a reading camp down at Pevine in the southern

100
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 3>part and it was very successful, and they're looking at

101
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 3>doing one up farther north, and hopefully we're going to

102
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 3>be doing more of these camps in the future. I

103
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 3>think the goal was at least for the first year

104
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>while Goodogi Corps was implemented, and looking at maybe doing

105
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 3>not just math and reading, but transitional from elementary to

106
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>junior high skills that these students will lead, you know,

107
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 3>going as you move forward and get older.

108
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean they're used to being in.

109
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 3>A home room all day long, going and learning how

110
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 3>to change between classes and learning how how to you

111
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 3>know respect and things that, Like you said, Cherokees traditionally

112
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 3>have you need to have respect for your elders and

113
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>it just cut morals, ethics, handling your emotions, things like that.

114
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>But organizations school.

115
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, exactly, organizations schools things they can learn. And I

116
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 3>think that they're doing that on top of the volunteerism

117
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 3>and they can get volunteers to help with this kind

118
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 3>of project.

119
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 4>But lots of stuff. After that tornado around Claremore, I.

120
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Mean they were out oh in force, cleaning up and

121
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>really helping people. That was it was greatly needed. And

122
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 3>so you want to get a base. I think they're

123
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 3>trying to get something set up maybe at Dewey, Washington

124
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 3>County where you're at, and have a bank of people

125
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>that they can call if something happens.

126
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>God can activate people in Marshy.

127
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Exactly, and I think that's what a lot of what good.

128
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Do you greatly increased response times, We're not having to

129
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>rely on Cherokee Nation emergency management to get everything in place.

130
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 3>To come out and if you can get some We

131
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 3>just we got some weatherization kits at NAPPY because we

132
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 3>had a great need colder weather. And these people depend

133
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 3>on stuff, and so Cherokee Nation has gotten some stuff

134
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 3>to us that we can pass out because we had

135
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 3>a list.

136
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And so.

137
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 3>The other thing is this is a great opportunity for

138
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 3>college students.

139
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 4>Yes, now I don't know about in this area.

140
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I know in Coffeeville because I used to work for

141
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 3>the Coffeeville, Kansas School District, but they require their students

142
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to get so many hours of community service every year

143
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 3>in order to graduate from high school. Don't think it's

144
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 3>a bad thing.

145
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think it'd also be a great idea

146
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>to hold STEM camps as well. Oh yeah, for those

147
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.319
<v Speaker 2>of you who don't know, STEM is this acronym that's

148
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of been adopted in the last few years. You

149
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>just mean science, Technology, engineering, and mathematics. If we had

150
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 2>summer camps where kids could be engaged in things like

151
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>robotics or three D printing, or at their maths skills

152
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and better prepare them for the world, whether they're going

153
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>to go into a vocation, whether they're going to go

154
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>into the workforce, whether they're going to go to college.

155
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, all those things require They're seemingly simple on

156
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the surface, but I know for a fact, things like

157
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>three D printing, you have to start off for the concept.

158
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 2>You have to start off for the concept, and then

159
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>you have to manipulate that concept on a drafting platform

160
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>to actually put it in put it into the printer

161
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and create something. So I think that's one of the things.

162
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 2>It really unleashes a lot of things. It's it's not

163
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>only your technical ability, but also your creative abilities.

164
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

165
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 3>And I know there's the ASIS, they call it American

166
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Indian Science and Engineering Society, Yes, and so that is

167
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 3>a focus on Native Americans and I and there's always

168
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, we also like to focus on females because.

169
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 4>There are very few, they're underrepresented, very much represent it.

170
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 4>So you know, it's a good thing to get into.

171
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And we know that education is a lifelong process. I

172
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, learn, I try to learn something new every day,

173
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and I mean people have different interests and aptitudes. Yeah,

174
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>but I think half the battle is encouraging that initial

175
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 2>spark and desire to learn. You know, if you don't

176
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.079
<v Speaker 2>get that earlier in life, I think a lot of

177
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>times that process kind of falls by the wayside. So

178
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 2>teachers and that incredible ability to have them inspire their

179
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 2>students that can make all the difference. I know, I

180
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>went to a rural school. We didn't have a lot

181
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>of resources, and I think a light bulb turned on

182
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>for me with my science features because we started doing

183
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>microscopy and some of the first few times I looked

184
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>through a microscope and discovered this whole new world. Yeah,

185
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 2>it really sparked this interest in microbiology and things like that. Well,

186
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 2>now I hold a degree in molecular biology, so you know,

187
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you never know where the path that's going to lead.

188
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 4>No, you don't. And I wasn't actually working.

189
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 3>I worked for thirty years for the Coffeeville School District

190
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>and I never I wasn't a teacher per se. I

191
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>was their director of Indian Education and I had also

192
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 3>worked as a secretary. But I'm telling you, and it

193
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 3>is true, teachers, that is a calling. It's almost like

194
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 3>becoming going in the medical field.

195
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 4>I think it is a true. No, they don't.

196
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can see people becoming in the medical

197
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 3>field thinking they're going to make some money at this.

198
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, It's kind of a thankless job in a way.

199
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 3>And the only thing I think that games you going,

200
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't. I thought, Okay, I'm not a teacher.

201
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 3>I was.

202
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:24.879
<v Speaker 5>I was a teacher.

203
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 4>I really was. Even as a secretary. You've got kids.

204
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 4>You're interacting with these students and they look to you

205
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 4>as an example.

206
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 3>And I was a debate and forensics coach, speech coach

207
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 3>for seventeen years and the best thing that can happen

208
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 3>is when these kids they stay in.

209
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 4>Contact with you. I am.

210
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 3>I still have friends on It's amazing that I see

211
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 3>students and they still call me missus Crane. I'm like, okay,

212
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 3>you're forty five years old, now you can you know,

213
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 3>you can call me by my first name.

214
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:56.759
<v Speaker 4>It's it was.

215
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Hard for me because I went to school in Coffeeville

216
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 3>and I'm working with the those teachers and I still

217
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 3>called I had a hard time calling them first names.

218
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 3>It was always you know, missus so or mister so

219
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 3>and so. But knowing that you probably made an impact

220
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 3>on their life in some small way, yeah, I mean,

221
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't have to be anything huge if they remember you,

222
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>or you see stuff on Facebook where somebody says teachers

223
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.519
<v Speaker 3>or somebody that inspired me and it just it makes

224
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 3>you feel good.

225
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we all have somebody in our lives like

226
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 2>that that.

227
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Inspired us something, oh exactly, you know.

228
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's where teachers are in a rule,

229
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, who spends more time with your kids

230
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 2>on their parents? Usually they're at school. And so you know,

231
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>if you have good teachers, all the difference in the world.

232
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 4>That's true.

233
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>So this program of good New Ecor, where do you

234
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>see it headed becoming more involved in our communities? Do

235
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 2>you see it being adopted on a broader scale?

236
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Right now?

237
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>They're just you know, starting out here that they got

238
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 3>they got it signed in and they and they're this

239
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 3>is the first really full year that they're trying to

240
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 3>do and meet these goals that they've set for themselves.

241
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I think as looking forward, I think things will become easy.

242
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I would love the idea of you know, everything is

243
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 3>based in Tahlequah. It would be great if we had

244
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.279
<v Speaker 3>more things up here up north.

245
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, just you know that we can do stuff.

246
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know, I'm hoping that that's going to

247
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 3>happen in the future, that we could have some areas

248
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 3>up here that we can take care of things. And

249
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>but we all, like you said, Goodog, we all work

250
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 3>together and get our direction from the main place in Tallequan.

251
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Maybe some other I mean, there's reservation goes farther south

252
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>in Taallequa, so maybe they need areas down there even

253
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 3>farther south. Right now, I think that they're looking at.

254
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, the education portion is just a couple

255
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 3>of reading camps. I'm hoping that there would be that

256
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>would be wonderful if we could do maybe four or

257
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 3>five reading camps and people have or something and plan

258
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 3>them during these school year or things like that.

259
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Summer programs would be a good idea because how many

260
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>times do kids go on summer vacation. Yeah, they don't

261
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>do any sort of supplemental learning. But I'm not saying,

262
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, don't make it some sort of drab, dreary things.

263
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're basically running a kid's vacation. Make it

264
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 2>something that's engaging, make it something that's fun making exactly

265
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 2>they're going to want to learn.

266
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>But I and it's I think a lot of it.

267
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>The volunteer is a portion is very very important because,

268
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 3>like I said, we have college students when you for example,

269
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Cherokee Nation. The scholarship each semester is twenty five hundred dollars,

270
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 3>but you are required to keep a certain GPA, pass

271
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 3>a certain number of credit hours, and do twenty five

272
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 3>hours of community service. You do an hour of service

273
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 3>for every hundred dollars you receive, and but you don't

274
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 3>have to pay the money back.

275
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 4>That's it. I mean, that's fantastic.

276
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 3>My daughter, my daughter took back when it was two

277
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 3>thousand a semester and she did it and funded college

278
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 3>that way, and it's amazing. But she really enjoyed the

279
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 3>volunteers in portion. She had no trouble doing it. At

280
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.720
<v Speaker 3>the time it was twenty hours a semester. That's not

281
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 3>a lot of hours, no, And I can promise you

282
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>we have plenty of just at South Coffee Villa, at NAFI,

283
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 3>there's always stuff for us to do. And we're lucky

284
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 3>enough in the summertime we get summer youth through Cherokee

285
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Nation that they come in and work part times.

286
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 4>So it's all good.

287
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 2>So, Chris, I want to thank you for being on

288
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.320
