  • Great Story - Is there a book?

    I stumbled on this podcast while looking for American Rivers. This is such an inspiring story. These survivors whose ancestors faced so much trauma has much to teach the world. I hope they take the next step and release a book followed by a blockbuster movie.

    While I didn’t yet find the podcast on the Missouri River I was originally looking for, I’m so elated i stumbled on this that I’ll now listen to every episode. Count me as a new subscriber.
