For the Generations Yet Unborn
In this episode of Real Native Roots: Untold Stories, I sit down with Delano Saluskin (Shii) of the Yakama Nation, a respected leader whose nearly 80 years of life and more than five decades of service have been dedicated to his people, culture, and community. Together, we explore his journey from a childhood shaped by hardship and resilience to becoming a bridge builder, Tribal Chairman, advocate for economic sovereignty, and protector of land, water, and language. Along the way, Delano shares lessons on leadership, sobriety, family, faith, and what it means to think beyond ourselves to the generations yet unborn. This conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership does not have to be loud. Sometimes it looks like listening deeply, staying grounded in your values, and remaining open to change while honoring where you come from. If this episode resonates with you, please follow, subscribe, and share it with your relatives, friends, and communities so we can continue uplifting Indigenous stories, wisdom, and voices. #RealNativeRootsPodcast #RealNativeRootsUntoldStories #DelanoSaluskin #YakamaNation #IndigenousLeadership#GenerationsYetUnborn #LanguageIsMedicine #IndigenousStories

The World Needs More Flowers
In this deeply heartfelt episode of Real Native Roots: Untold Stories, Vickie sits down with her dear friend, business partner, and “sister soul,” Barbara Roloff, for a conversation about identity, belonging, flowers, healing, and what it means to truly bloom later in life. 🌻 Barbara shares her journey growing up in a beautifully multicultural adoptive family, reconnecting with her Native Hawaiian roots, meeting her birth family as an adult, and discovering the many places that became “home” throughout her life. Together, Vickie and Barbara reflect on love, resilience, slowing down, community care, aging with intention, and the powerful lessons flowers can teach us about patience, purpose, and growth. You’ll also hear stories about Barbara’s flower farm journey, the parallels between tending gardens and tending communities, and why the world desperately needs more flowers…and more people willing to lead with love. This episode is for anyone navigating healing, identity, reinvention, grief, purpose, or simply trying to remember what truly matters in this short and sacred life. ✨ If this episode touched your heart, please share it with someone who needs these words today.✨ Follow Real Native Roots: Untold Stories wherever you listen to podcasts.✨ Leave a review, subscribe, and help us continue amplifying Native stories, wisdom, healing, and community conversations.

Rage is Sacred: Awake at 27
In this episode of Real Native Roots: Untold Stories, Vickie sits down with Ameerah Suina Thomas, a 27-year-old Afro-Indigenous woman of Laguna Pueblo and West African descent whose voice carries both clarity and fire. Together, they explore what it means to be fully present in your body, how culture lives through everyday practices, and why food, music, language, and movement are not just traditions—they are medicine. Ameerah shares how her mother and Pueblo upbringing shaped her humility and strength, while her father instilled voice, joy, and the courage to live fully. She speaks honestly about navigating identity, solidarity, capitalism, and the emotional weight of being awake in today’s world. This episode dives into somatic healing, the sacredness of rage, and the importance of returning to the body in a time that constantly pulls us into the mind. Through laughter, reflection, and truth-telling, this conversation reminds us: You are not separate from the land—you are part of it. Your body holds wisdom. Your presence is medicine. And most importantly…You are needed. This is an episode for anyone seeking grounding, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves, their community, and the world around them. Ahé'hee (Thank you) for being here and walking with us <3 if this story moved you, please share it, and don’t forget you can listen on all platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more. #RealNativeRoots #IndigenousVoices #AfroIndigenous #HealingThroughStory #NextGenWisdom
