    Season 6, Episode 8: God in the Song of the Whippoorwills: Blas Preciado, Kiowa
    May 2 2024
    Silent and somber, the two boys stood before the doorstep, memories flooding their minds like a rushing river. They recalled the gentle cadence of their mother's voice as she paused to listen to the whippoorwills' melodies in the trees. Each note seemed to echo the warmth of her presence, now painfully absent. Their thoughts drifted to the countless afternoons spent playing in the sweltering heat, only to be welcomed inside by their mother's loving embrace and a cool glass of lemonade. The memory of her unwavering care lingered in the air, a poignant reminder of all they had lost. And then there were her nightly prayers, whispered in the sacred tongue of the Kiowa, the absence of her soothing words now leaving an ache in their souls, a void impossible to fill. Join me, as Blas Preciado, a Kiowa Veteran shares the oral history of his ancestors, as well as his heartbreaking, yet inspiring story. In this episode you’ll learn about: • Those who came before us, like Viejo, Red Thunder and Grass Carrier • The history and the language of the Kiowa • The Massacre of Cutthroat Gap • KCA: The history of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache coming together • The “Indian Beverly Hillbillies” • Blas and his brother living alone in their home after the death of their mother • Facing trauma head-on with support, therapy and faith in God Native ChocTalk Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nativechoctalkpodcast All Podcast Episodes: https://nativechoctalk.com/podcasts/

  • S6, E7, Pt2 Barry Friedman on The Pendleton Blanket and the Stories and History Woven Within, Part 2

    S6, E7, Pt2 Barry Friedman on The Pendleton Blanket and the Stories and History Woven Within, Part 2
    Apr 25 2024
    His name is Barry Friedman and he’s been collecting supplying 100-year-old Pendletons since 1969. In fact, he was the supplier of 60 period Pendleton for the movie, “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Although Barry isn’t a Pendleton employee, he is the vintage blanket consultant to Pendleton Woolen Mills, and Ralph Lauren himself has been a customer of Barry’s for over 30 years. He also sells museum quality blankets to private collectors and has been instrumental in helping to form the most important collections in the world. In addition to being an appraiser, consultant and seller of these Pendleton blankets, he’s also the author of “Chasing Rainbows: Collecting American Indian Trade & Camp Blankets” and its sequel, “Still Chasing Rainbows”. In this episode, you’ll learn about: • The history of the Pendleton blanket • The case of the cursed Pendleton blanket • The surprising history of the patterns on the blankets • What happened to the blankets after Killers of the Flower Moon • Round-corner Pendleton blankets (hint: if you have one, keep it!) • Barry’s former career as a comedy writer in Hollywood, and as a Columnist and radio personality Note: I encourage those of you who aren’t quite fans of Pendleton because it’s not a Native-owned company, to listen to this episode…I think you’ll still find it interesting. I’d also like to share the beautiful work of Native-owned Eight Generation – check them out here: https://eighthgeneration.com/ Barry’s collection is the largest in the world and can be viewed in Phoenix, Arizona by appointment. Call, text (480)-309-4697 or e-mail at blanketboy@cox.net to make arrangements.
