0:00.0	Welcome to the wind is gone from ourselves and no one's left to tell my tale.
0:16.9	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.
0:18.7	I'm your host, John Williamson, and we're back with part two with Dr. Chris Hocklutubei. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, pause this one,
0:25.8	go back to last week, listen to Part 1, and then you can proceed with Part 2, the conclusion.
0:32.1	And hopefully you guys have enjoyed this one. This was fascinating for me. I'll be honest,
0:35.8	as I said in the first episode, I don't have, I'll be honest, as I said, the first episode,
0:43.7	I don't have, I'll be honest, it's an embarrassing lack of knowledge on Native American spirituality and just Native American history in general as a history person, somebody who loves
0:50.4	history, my degrees in history, you know, we just, unless you kind of go out of your way and really search out information
0:58.9	on the various tribes of which there were many across North America and really dig into
1:05.6	that history and or if you happen to be at a really good school that happens to offer courses

1:43.2	you know, information is is readily available. So, you know, we really don't have much of an excuse anymore not to, uh, you know, quickly gain an understanding of something that we lack in. Um, it's not like the ye olden days back when I was a kid when, uh, you would have salesmen coming around door to door
2:01.3	selling books like series of encyclopedia. I remember when I was in high school breaking out
2:08.4	the old encyclopedia to try to understand some sort of mathematical equation better.
2:13.4	And, you know, they were useful. They were helpful, sure, but like, you can get way more information
