Professor Nick, thank you for sharing this 4-part series with Randy Lewis (K'ayaxan) as he visits his homeland and shares his history with you and us. He is my favorite storyteller. I so appreciate that he is willing to share his insights and the importance of this land. As we are all connected, the more we can learn, the more we will appreciate his gifts to us.

I’ve enjoyed these four videos so much. I feel like our mutual grandfather is talking to all of us....letting us see into the past. For his past is our past, it seems to me. You both are giving us the “gift of remembering,”as Randy calls it. Thank you. Yes, to a Steamboat Rock episode from the top. And the pipe rock.

When Randy spoke the native name for Steamboat Rock, 'A-ko-osh-tok' (sp), the Closed Captioning said simply (MUSIC). How. Appropriate. Yes. Music. Our day is brighter for listening in on your visual symphony.

Thank you Randy. You should definitely have your own show, I know it's not your responsibility to educate ignoramuses but you do a better job than most. A large part of my family were starved and then exiled from their ancestral land to the other side of the world, and that sucks, but on the other hand everyone can forge their own relationship with a new piece of earth. Reciprocation and respect 👍

This trip reminded me of when my Hopi Indian friends from Morenci AZ took me out into the desert one spring, we gathered sage and small branches of dried out mieskeit wood that would be made into buttons.and looked for cholla wood to be gathered for tomato vines, they sang and prayed over all the plants we gathered from, I learned to honor the earth from them.

I love these 4 conversations with Randy. Thanks so much Nick for sharing these!! I've laughed, I've teared up, and I'm ever more grateful for my life long connection with Washington State, having been born here. Especially through these wonderful stories that reach back to the time before time. These are so precious! I think this is a perfect geology conversation, it embraces the science, structure, history, and processes of the physical world that is the well spring of the unfolding, evolving human story.

I don't know why I didn't recall this until today during Nick at Home # 4 on the ancient rivers, but I was told about how Grande Coulee looked before the dam by an old man I befriended at the Rapid City, SD, Public Library. He had been a teacher in Washington Public School, and the saddest thing he ever saw was when the Coulee was filled in and covered the dam waters, which must have been similar to the Moses Coulee. Thanks again for this set and all your geology videos. What memories do Randy's people and he have about that?
