Listen to this series to learn more about why you may want to think twice before spending time there… This episode is part of a series focused on sharing more about the CRISIS that is Snowbowl Ski Resort (outside of Flagstaff, Arizona) and the agencies that are supposed to hold them accountable.  EPISODE 7: How is what's happening on the moon related to what's happening on the peaks? Check out our newest episode of “Land Defenders” with Janeen Phillips. Janeen is a young community organizer, among many other things, and we chat about Snowbowls' bigger picture in colonization, the disconnect between Traditional ecological knowledge and western science, and the relationship between what's going on on the peaks… and what's going on in the stars.  To learn more and stay connected, follow us on social media @Protectgrandcanyon and wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Cora Maxx-Phillips on Honoring Nature's Laws, Understanding the Sacred, and the Roots of the Dilemma on the Peaks

    Thinking about skiing at Snowbowl? Might want to think again. Listen to this series to learn more about why you may want to think twice before spending time there… This episode is part of a series focused on sharing more about the CRISIS that is Snowbowl Ski Resort (outside of Flagstaff, Arizona) and the agencies that are supposed to hold them accountable.  EPISODE 6: In this episode, we have a conversation with Cora Maxx-Phillips. Cora has been involved in the defense of the peaks for her whole life. Through this time, she has come to recognize that one of the foundations of the issue surrounding the peaks is the lack of understanding regarding what sacred means. Through this episode, we explore what it means to be sacred from her cultural lens, are reminded of the interconnected nature of the world, and are offered powerful examples to reflect on the differences between Western culture and Indigenous ways of being.

    PART 2: Dr. Chris Jocks on the Legal history surrounding Snowbowl Ski Resort (Snowbowl Series)

    Thinking about skiing at Snowbowl? Might want to think again. Listen to this series to learn more about why you may want to think twice before spending time there… This episode is part of a series focused on sharing more about the CRISIS that is Snowbowl Ski Resort (outside of Flagstaff, Arizona) and the agencies that are supposed to hold them accountable.  EPISODES 4 AND 5: In these episodes, we have a conversation with Dr. Chris Jocks (Kanien’kehá:ka), chair of the Applied Indigenous Studies dept. at NAU. Chris has been involved in the defense of the peaks for decades, and during this time, has developed a particular expertise on the legal side of the issue(s). Through our conversation, we look at the direct actions filed against Snowbowl and other supreme court cases that have affected Tribal Nations, organizations, and peak defenders’ legal power on the issue. It is clear through this legal exploration that the government upholds money and property above the health of land and people ( no surprise…) … but so does Snowbowl.  To learn more and stay connected follow us on social media @Protectgrandcanyon and wherever you listen to podcasts.

EDIT: Snowbowl Ski Resort, at the time it began using reclaimed sewage water for artificial snow, was the only resort in the world to use reclaimed water to make 100% of their artificial snow.
