The Trail Less Traveled
Maori Tattooing with Ta Moko Artist, Tama Raihania.
Tama Raihania has been drawing and studying Maori artwork and Moko patterns since his early childhood. This interview tells the story of the evolution of tattooing. Tama is a "Tohunga Tā Moko" (Ta Moko tattoo artist). The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian "tatu" which means "to mark something." It is arguably claimed that tattooing has existed since 12,000 years BC. The modern pronunciation of the word is due to a mispronunciation by earlier explorers such as Lieutenant James Cook.

Restoring Northwest Salmon and Protecting Wild Rivers with AMERICAN RIVERS.
41:50|As the Northwest Regional Director, Sarah Dyrdahl leads the regional team working to protect wild rivers, restore damaged rivers, and conserve clean water for people and nature in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. This is part one of our two part series featuring the work of American Rivers. Sarah has been working with communities on river conservation and restoration in Alaska and Oregon since 2004, as a staff biologist for a Native Alaskan Tribe and 15 years as a restoration program manager, and then executive director, for Oregon watershed councils. Most recently, Sarah served as the aquatic & riparian specialist and interim deputy division chief for the Oregon Department of Forestry. Before migrating upstream to freshwater ecosystems, Sarah studied nearshore marine ecological communities along the Oregon Coast with the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO). Sarah grew up in the country, on the banks of the Applegate River in southern Oregon, an experience that she weaves into her dream job of conserving and restoring rivers and landscapes through community building.When not working, Sarah can be found on or near any body of water, scouring mountain meadows for wildflowers, creeping through forest understories for mushrooms, propagating houseplants, or gardening in pursuit of the next delicious meal.

One of the main takeaways of this episode is the concept of "KEEP FISH WET" a concept of keeping fish (especially trout) in the river during the hot summer months in order to protect them, their slim and the health of fisheries for future generations. ***Mandela van Eeden and Steve Saroff just released their FIRST SINGLES on Spotify.
