Quaternary science would be so much more advanced if we still had the level of knowledge attained by native peoples around the world. Collectively, as a human race, we have lost a long lineage of direct, orally-transmitted knowledge of the Pleistocene and early Holocene, not to mention the metaphysics, nutrition, medicine, and various other forms of knowledge that have been lost, as a result of millennia of genocide and exploitation in the name of 'progress'. Thanks to both of you for making this video. Edit: Just have to say, again, as in the previous video with Randy, it is such a rare honor to hear these insights. Thank you, Randy.

When I research recorded oral traditions for various things, I come across the same themes and understandings all the time, so they must be extant threads of the oldest knowledge. I too really lament the loss of explicit and detailed lore over this time period, and its deliberate erasure during this last industrial and colonial period. So much damage and loss. We can recover some of it, but more people need to value the process and participate. Including the 'hard' science people.

I feel disrespectful, when I watch these live shows and/or premiers, keeping one eye on the comments and the other on the video, while listening as much as possible. The camaraderie of this group is so spiritually nurturing that I cannot ignore the live commenting, but neither do I wish to miss anything said in the video… especially when Randy is the featured guest. Thank goodness for replay! I picked up so much more this morning, than I did last evening. Thank you again, Nick and Randy, for your time and investment!!! Much love!

There's a thrill to hearing Randy speak while we're all in a group (live chat). That sense of thrill deepens the enthusiasm to then replay the video and listen very deeply. I've watched the video with a map, with my plant guides, and "just" listening.

Couldn't help but smile when the word shaman was uttered, and he paused, before explaining it away as "white man's bulls**t". Hearing someone relate the animistic perspectives of the American Indian cultures is SO refreshing, from the megafauna of earlier ages to the usefulness of the flora by season. Thanks even more than usual for this episode, Captain Nick. On the fly indeed...

Absolutely loved it!!! Randy's culture and my Hawaiian culture have the exact same beliefs of places, energies, plants and animals. Very similar stories of creation. I especially loved it when Randy commented on the term Shaman and saying it was a white mans term. It's exactly how I feel when people use the term Kahuna in the Hawaiian culture. They don't understand what a Kahuna is or what it means. I can so relate to everything about Randy. We also ate dirt LOL, a certain type of red clay found in only very special places. It was gathered for medicine. We even collected a different red clay for medicine for our domestic pigs to help them if they had bowl issues. I love all of your shows but this touched me extremely deeply!!!!

Please forgive me, Nick, for the following very long post but Randy Lewis’ return to your show compels me to share a poem I wrote regarding the dire situation Nature now faces on Planet Earth. It was inspired by the plight of Idaho’s native sockeye salmon, and the devastation wreaked by the Australian wildfires, including the loss of half a billion creatures Down Under. Since the arrival of the Covid the writing of this poem, in mid January, now seems a lifetime away. But first, a little background… In 1992, only four Snake River sockeye made their way through eight dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers, just a year after the fish, native to Idaho’s Sawtooth Valley, was listed as endangered. A single male completed the journey up the Salmon river to a weir on Redfish Lake Creek. Dubbed Lonesome Larry, he was captured and his milt (sperm) was used in an effort to save the species. The drastic drop in numbers, of these fish, was an early warning of the monumental level of extinctions we are facing today. Lewis the Koala became briefly famous from a viral video of his rescue by the brave woman who ran into the flames, taking the shirt off her back to carry him. In spite of her efforts, the little Koala would eventually be euthanized. Nonetheless, this woman’s act of compassion stands as an example for all, reminding us it’s the effort, not the outcome, that defines who we are. Let her effort inspire you to Do The Right Thing, whatever it may be, however it may go. Let Lewis, as a metaphor for Nature, compel you to do whatever you can, to save whatever we can, of the Wild. The Saga of Lewis and Larry Or Heed The Call There was a time, not too long ago When Salmon could spawn and Koalas could know That tomorrow would bring a new tree to climb And poets could make nonsensical rhyme Inspired by days of fun in the sun On the banks of a river where Salmon could run Then, Larry the Lonesome Salmon was given The task of keeping his whole species livin’ Milked, and then mounted, in a box on a wall A symbol of hope, or despair… for us all Would his progeny make it, could they survive? Was the river so ruined they’d no longer thrive? This was our chance, to wake up and see The harm being done by Humanity And to come to our senses, to heed the call To take care of this World that is here for us all Before it’s too late and she comes to her end As we use her all up, just for money to spend Not many years later, the verdict was in Warm water dictated the trouble therein The wild Salmon river, her Sockeye now lost By our very own hand, such a terrible cost Living up to her name, forever to churn As the great Salmon River of No Return So, we dropped that ball… decades ago On those wild Sockeye Salmon in Idaho Failing to act, when we had the chance Banking everything, on, what was in Larry’s pants Ignoring the scale of this portentous warning Salmon gone missing, our Planet was warming Now, a Koala, steps up to the plate Perhaps he can save us, before it’s too late All others have failed, as they fell by the way One by one, they are slowly all fading away Goodbye to the Salmon, and our other wild kin Maybe Lewis will save us, from this fix we are in Let him tug on your heartstrings, look deep in his eyes Past the singed fur and burns, you might get a surprise You might see yourself, looking back, out at you Telling your heart, what it is, you must do The time has now come to change all that you know It’s the price we must pay and we can’t do it slow Ask no more of Lewis, he’s no more to give His home and his family… his one Life to Live Paying this debt that he never accrued Lewis stands for compassion, and passion renewed To see The Big Picture, to do The Right Thing Pays homage to Lewis, through change it can bring So tell me, Grasshopper, what will be our fate? Is it acting in time, before it’s too late? Addressing the truth of what brought us here With the end of us all drawing rapidly near? Or will we continue to walk in our sleep? Earth crashes and burns, we make barely a peep The test is before us, have our lessons been learned? We now face the road which the lost have sojourned Can’t just let it go, we must honor those lost By saving their world from this terrible cost Making good on a debt that has yet to be paid Mankind must now end the Consumer Charade It’s time to return to the old ways they knew Wild Creatures before us, whose balance was true Seek truth in their wisdom, find hope in their eyes Observe well their ways, that we all may grow Wise To know Nature’s patterns, to abide by Her ways Or else we are facing the Ending of Days Eternal darkness, awaits in the wings Our own payment for, Man’s addiction to things That he always eventually just throws away Like Wild Places and Creatures that got in his way So callous and wasteful, it’s what brought us here We just carry on, as destruction draws near I know it’s a battle we can’t fully win But I’ll never stop trying, I’ll never give in For the sake of the Innocents giving their all I’ll stand up for them, I’ll heed the call Though the Koala and Salmon precede me in death I’ll cherish them both, to my very last breath Laura Marinangeli - 1.13.20 Lonesome Larry, Lonesome Again… www.mtexpress.com/opinion/editorials/lonesome-again/article_cc28f738-6b00-11e6-9ded-a34f82674486.html
