#3 - Ernest Sickey Interview

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1930354/open_sms] In this episode, I interview the first chairman of the modern Coushatta Tribe, Ernest Sickey. We discuss his life, work, and advice he has for the next generation of tribal leaders. This interview is the most valuable work I have done on this podcast so far, and I hope you can take some inspiration from our conversation. Two minor corrections: Bel Abbey was my great uncle, not my great grandfather, and Maggie Langley was my great grandmother, not my grandmother. There are a few instances in the conversation where Ernest or I describe their relation to me incorrectly. Thank you for listening.

#2 - Rabbit Tale Power Hour 1

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1930354/open_sms] In this episode, I give a window into the world of Coushatta storytelling by telling four different Rabbit Tales, three of which are given in both Koasati & English, and the last only in English. I explain characteristics of Rabbit Tales and provide commentary about each story. I hope to do many more episodes like this in the future. Special thanks to my aunt Darlene Dunnehoo and my parents Bertney and Linda Langley for their help with updating the Koasati for the first three stories - all of them are roughly 100 years old, so it was a collaborative process to modernize the language.
