Randy Lewis is a Treasure chest filled with true history.

Randy's stories should be written down somewhere , because some day they will be lost.

So True and Real, do not know how to describe how I feel after having listen to you Randy! Simply then, a big Thanks to both of you 💌

Thank you both 👍👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖💝♥️💝🙋🏼‍♀️

I love this segment Randy is a national treasure.

Memory is a gift... My dad has Alzheimers and that statement hit close to home. Appreciate every word Randy says and his perspective of the earth is something we all should strive for. Thank you for doing these. Got some Wenatchee Wear stickers and love them btw!

This is history we will never hear in any mainstream forum. Thanks Nick and Randy

Randy and Nick thanks again!

I am thrilled to hear more of Randy's stories - may they live forever. Really looking to parts 3 and 4. I wish Randy and his family experience good health again!

I always enjoy Randy sharing his knowledge and the knowledge of his ancestors. For many years I have believed there will come a day, in which we will turn to Randy and other first nation people for their knowledge and survival skills, as the human race comes face to face with our future. Thank you, Randy, and thank you, Nick.

Thank you professor. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I’m so glad you do this . It makes me feel joy to know you really care about your students/ our children the way you do . Again thank you Nick

Randy is a national resource. I could listen to him for hours.

Thank you so much Randy and Nick. I hope you continue to educate and inspire us to protect this treasure that is the PNW. I am so happy to listen and learn the history of our area.

Moses Coulee has always been a place of magic to me. I've always loved being there. Randy is teaching me why it is a place of wonder. Thank you Randy for sharing your knowledge. Thank you Nick for sharing Randy with us.

It was only with Randy’s history of Chief Moses that I realized I have a book about him, Half-Sun on the Columbia: A Biography of Chief Moses, purchased maybe 15 years ago. I wish I knew his opinion on it or if he would recommend different ones. Being a Midwesterner, I know pretty much nothing of the people of the northwest but Randy’s stories are a treasure trove of culture and deep history. Beautiful.

We Love Randy, glad you guys are hanging out filming you two together have that energy. you bring knowledge to each other and us at the same time. Thanks.

Randy is art in science personified.

Love to hear Randy Lewis's stories. They are so enlightening. Thanks so much Nick for bringing these stories to us! Looking forward to Part 3.

Randy is so well-spoken and intelligent. Some of his stories are so sad. But all of his stories are educational. Thank you Nick for doing these videos. I really appreciate them. Hope to see Randy and maybe even you on my trip out there. :)

I love this show. I’m often out in the wilds of Washington and Oregon doing natural beekeeping in logs and I always come back to this channel to learn about our amazing geology. Thank you for all you do.

Ahhh. Such a special interlude, hearing Randy's stories and knowledge. Thanks to you both.

Ray Lewis is a gem,did not know that this was a four part

Thank you Randy! Excellent video!

We absolutely love hearing Randy share his knowledge of the land and the stories of his people. He is so generous to do these videos. The idea that it's a gift to be able to remember...so beautiful and simple. Thank you Randy and Nick for taking the time to make these videos. ❤️

if you heard that cheering yesterday that was us Canadians celebrating. thank you for continuing this cool channel

Thanks randy and nick … nice historical ride down the dry highway back in time with oral traditions and memories from smell …wonderful !

Thank you Nick, thank you Randy!

Thank you both for more of Mr. Lewis's historical narrative about the his people and the special land of there's. I love the gray sage, sulfur lupine, dislike Stevens and Wright. My family's history has a unique but sad link to those horses turned loose as part of the "white lie" Treaty of 1855. My father-in-law was Chief of Police in The Dalles during the 1950's. He admired the Wishram People, taking home himself those put in jail for drunkenness instead of letting them face a Judge. Born in The Dalles I witnessed as a young child the death of Celilo Falls and its great people to Warm Springs. She was born in The Dalles but he was from PA. She hated the old brown hills but he loved them in all seasons as do I. The women in traditional dress, some with children on cradle boards fascinated my twin sister and me. Turning that into a lifelong interest and admiration for the Tribes. Again, thank you!

Professor; I KNOW you realize how blessed you are to be with this man.

26:32 "There's some synapse that aren't synapsing" -- Well said. I deal with mentally ill family members and that gave me a chuckle. Seriously though, thank you Mr. Lewis, for the history lesson of your culture and your sincere expressions. Thank you Professor Z for documenting it all.

Thank you Randy for opening up and sharing all of this with us, and thank you Nick for posting it. Two great guys whom we are privileged to meet in this way.

Humans Receive Blessing of Life through Geology. Thank you for Sharing Blessings of Traveling Moses Coulee with Honor to Ancients with Twins Story & History.

Randy Lewis! What a treasure. A bodhisattva of sorts. Thanks Nick for sharing your friend with us!

Thanks so much to both of you for the great information and historical reference...What a treasure.

I love Randy’s skin. It’s so soft, so healthy. And his stories are so wonderful. I can relate to them all. And he’s so smart in two cultures. I will remember that remembering is a gift, Randy. Thank you and thank you to Nick for sharing you with us.

Beautiful!

Scent memories take a different, much older more robust pathway in the mind. That is a very good way to find memories.

Wow! Such a rich perspective of remembering and natural wisdom. Never seen anything quite like this! I have to say that I’ve never felt like I was a close part of any family of nature, where I felt like I belonged ever… sadly. In my world it’s all ‘keep out’ signs and ‘no tresspassing’ and one only feels as much a part of anything as what I see on youtube. So these insights into Indigenous culture are amazing and seem like a healing part of natural wisdom that I’ve never experienced before. Thanks!

"Synaps that aren't synapping" 🤣🤣 Bless you, Randy. Thanks for the tips for post pandemic rewiring. And thank you for this very special tour and tales.

Wonderful oral history!!

Wow! Very intense. Thanks so much for sharing Randy. And thanks Nick for giving Randy such a large audience.

I am so thankful to be able to hear these stories from Mr. Lewis. Deep connection, what bigger wish for humanity is there?

What a gift. All my respect. Lets keep these places sacred.

Wonderful stories of Randy’s culture. So entertaining and enlightening. What a treasure he is. Thanks Nick for bringing him to us.

so much knowledge and memories in 45minutes. thank you so much Nick & Randy.

I feel more intelligent just having listened to Randy's sharing of his knowledge and memories, thank you kind Sir.

Randy is a national treasure. He should video-archive his stories for the future.

thanks Nick and Randy, engineered taint on our social tapestry, glad your getting better Randy, the stories flow with minds knowing image creator, that's how truth works universally, rocks can't run no matter what I find, if I drop it I leave it, that fairness allows my walks to have feeling, spiritually, the destruction continues at the will of the shallow, don't go in the tunnels, know your cave, we are all from survivors of the past

What an absolute gem of a human

Thank you very much! This has been great.

Fascinating storytelling. I wonder if Edward Curtis photographed any of his ancestors.

This is truly fascinating Nick. Thank you for sharing this program. Many thanks to Randy Lewis as well.

Love the multi disciplinary take on this. All I can say is great great great. Can I have some more please!!!!

Thank you so much for these. Be well and stay safe. UK.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

What a wonderful couple of vlogs with Randy Lewis. Thanks Nick.

Thank you for sharing this video Nick.

Wonderful history via stories. What a brilliant man he is. Thank you for sharing

Incredible history lesson from a geologist's channel. Thank you.

Thanks again.

Thank you Randy you are a treasure, your wisdom humbles me.

Drive him every day you can...

Love me some Randy.

"I don't know who killed more.. Diseases or jesus.." Really sobering, especially considering all the graves being found around canada this year..

Thank You!

Was looking forward to! Thanks Randy! Thanks Nick!

Thank you Nick and Randy for making these videos. 😁❤️🌻 Moses Coulee is such a gorgeous, special place - rich in food, medicine, art, & tools too! Listening to Randy's stories and accounts help deepen my appreciation for these basalt tables and canyons. I'm so grateful for Randy's living memories - he keeps Moses Coulee alive on many planes.

Thank you Nick for having Randy once again. He is an amazing man with such knowledge. 💚

Hi Nick, just wanted to let you know that J Harlen Bretz was mentioned in the Dark Horse podcast 86 on Odysee at about the 52minute mark. It was one of those " Oooo I actually know who they're talking about thanks to Nick" moments.

Thank you for sharing this history. The knowledge of the paints is very interesting to me. Can't wait for more!

Love the philosophy from randy. fantastic

I could listen to Randy for days. Thank you for doing these segments Nick!

I wish I could like it twice. Great stories, and a lot of truth at the end. Thanks Nick (and thanks Randy).

Thoroughly enjoy the stories of Randy Lewis. Thank you for sharing this history and his connection to the earth.

Thank you Randy Lewis for sharing so much with us! Love the history.

The great spirit rides with you, as it is good to learn the history of the past.

I saw two of the recent parts in my subscription list and had no idea this playlist was here! I’m starting at the beginning and watching all of the videos. I love this. I’m looking forward to watching all of these videos with Randy. Thank you both🙏🏼

Hey Nick, thank you for posting these on KZfaq. May I suggest (maybe some of the academics at CWU could make suggestions) that you locate some place/person/institution that curates, catalogs, and/or stores true American stories and donate copies to them. I think The Smithsonian does some stuff like that. This stuff is invaluable and as each generation passes we get further and further away from the full spectrum of our early history. Cheers, Cliff

Thanks Nick and Randy! It's very interesting to remember the human connection to the land that is so interesting geologically, and we probably wouldn't have the chance to listen to Randy were it not for Nick! Looking forward to more!

Love these old memories passed down generations

🙏 thank you

Randy is such a revelation, and two more episodes to look forward to!

Always learning with Randy🙏

OMG Randy just said rewiring! I was just thinking his dirt eater comment and getting out to place to stimulate the mind and memories makes total sense from a neurobiology and plasticity. So grateful Randy is recovering and finding ways to lift the fog.

Thank you for recording these so they maybe persevered

Wonderful. Thanks.

The most poignant minute in this segment was the last minute. "Why would you wanna live out here in the desert?" Why would you wanna live on Broadway in Seattle? I mean why is it so many of us at some point in our lives have had enough of the hustle-bustle and chaos of our cities and want to move out to Nothingville, if not to clear our heads and get back to some sense of our place in nature? The quiet? The calming influence on our souls? That was everyday existence for the P'squosa for thousands of years -- and we gradually took that away in exchange for "progress." I'm grateful for our living standard - the ability to travel and improve our health and expand our knowledge of the world; but it has come at a cost to other people who'd lived here 100x longer than we have and it was something they didn't ask for. That's what makes Randy's stories so important. Long past time to take stock of what we've done to achieve what we all take for granted now, and how it has affected other societies and civilizations. Our religions all point to the same Creator, and I can't be sure this is what was meant for us to do with the gifts He's given us.

Thank you, Randy and Nick! Really appreciate these discussions.

just excellent

Dear Randy Lewis, and Professor Nick. There should be a way to tie modern geology to Wenatchi mythology, and make a good show about it, with pictures, and everything!

Wondered why " Malaga" got named. Love Randy's stories.

The creator puts all men on this earth ,

Wow, this info is fabulous and should be edited into a video book.

I moved to fallon nv, the middle of basin and range. I see it with new eyes.

Boy do I get Randy's steel trap that is gone! I he is able to record them so that they are not lost.

I grew up near The Dalles and there is still a Colonel Wright school there.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Chief Moses go to Historylink.org there's an essay (8870) posted 12/19/2008 by Jim Kershner. The final paragraph will definitely give you something to think about when you're up that way.

I hope he is documenting his store , to importin to lose ,The location of his grate grand dad camp I hope gets mapped thank you for the history lessen

Get well soon randy

Does Randy Lewis have a KZfaq channel? I could listen to his stories all day. Plus I love watching him walking tasting dirt and plants.
