"To the bruins beat on sea on this media my name is Evan Marino ski. Hope you guys are having a great day, a great week. And today's episode. Connor and I tackled some bigger evergreen Y kind of topics topics that, you know, never really go out of style in a sense. We covered whether or not the bruins will trade into the first round in the 2022 draft, which is coming up very soon. We get into a latest survey from the athletic. You know, I'm not really surprised that you guys aren't too happy with the bruins right now. And then we get into what the bruins can learn from the lightning and the avalanche because I think there's a lot there. Past even surface level stuff, I think there's a ton of stuff there that the bruins can learn from. And try to duplicate it if they would like to have some success. As always, brewed speed is brought to you by our good friends over at bet online and without further ado, here's my conversation. With Connor Ryan. And.

"And welcome into Pope bear episode 95. No more players. We're doing this until 100. No more players. I am of Marino. That is Connor Ryan Connor. What is up? Evan, doing well. How are you doing? Doing great. Doing great. And I think the people are going to be listening to this going, oh no, this is coming before an elimination game. Hopefully people have warmed back up to you after your curse has been thrown on the bruins ever since you've done those live postgame shows. Hopefully just going to stop doing the postgame shows is what I think we figured out what the crux of the issue is. It isn't secondary scoring. It isn't bad stats. It's not getting to an early deficit. To me on the postgame shows. Now that I think addressed that, I'm no longer going to be on those. I'll be there in spirit. I'll be watching. I'm not participating in them. I think maybe we found out how the bruins can get past Carolina on this first round here. Connor, you are not getting out of work that easily. This is not how this is having run this by my HR department. Aka me. But anyways, yes, hopefully people are warming back up after the curse. I think the podcasts are safe, right? We've decided this. I mean, I think the person has done pretty well ever since we've been podcasting about them. So I think the podcasting is A-okay safe. But this is coming right before your list. This is coming out the day of game 6. And the bruins for those who have been living under a rock are down three to two in this series. Things are not looking very, very great. It's funny how in a playoff series how things switch so quickly. Right after game four, it's like, oh my God, the bruins are going to do this after game 5. Oh my God, this might not happen. And the one reason people are thinking this is not going to happen is because a familiar flaw is coming back to bite this team and that is the good old secondary scoring decided it wasn't going to show up in game 5. It's been a little weird all series. Especially in games three and four where it was sort of that I mean aside from the shorthanded goal, the top line was really kind of caring, play there for a bit. It goes away in game 5, which happens. Have them score four points every game. Familiar flaw back in the fold. Yeah, very frustrating. I think when you look at the bruins. And again, every team goes through it when you get to the playoffs where things grind down and the amount of real estate you have to work with and the offensive zone isn't there..

"The bear episode 94. Connor episode 94. Guess who was number 94? Nobody. It's again. Nobody. There's no more players. We're opening like this for the next 6 episodes after this. IMF and Marino ski. That is Connor Ryan Connor. What is up? Evan, doing well. How you doing? Doing pretty good. Doing pretty good. If you're looking to be pissed, I said that and not said doing great, I was off now. Vibes are off. I was working this afternoon watching the Red Sox on my laptop. We're recording this Thursday afternoon so I was watching it in the afternoon. And sick watching Shohei Ohtani. Sick watching Shohei Ohtani. For the Red Sox though, not great. That team stinks. That team is brutal. They couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. So they are just victims. Hot hot start, but we have real things to talk about. And that's the bruins, right? Things are not great in the land of the bruins. Really not great. And the big question everyone's asking around here. Are they done? Are the bruins done? So Connor, are they done? Evan, I don't think so. It's not good. I'm going to preface what I'm saying. It ain't great. You know, it's like when you're asking if someone can salvage a car and it's pretty banged up. It's going to take a lot of work. Is it just a heap of metal? No. But yeah. But you look at where the bruins are and not just the fact that they've been outplayed in pretty much every area of the ice, but you're also looking at the personnel and who you have out there. It's easy to then draw you're not comparisons, but the runes have been in this position before, going to its benign along it. It's been a long time in 2011, right? Where they've dropped two games in a row, but again, you can either buy into the fact that it's hockey and you don't know what exactly you're going to get out of series till you drop a game on home ice, but it's also tough when you kind of draw those comparables though because you look at the bruins and you at least have like a full complement of players. You don't know what you do know what you're going to have in game three and it's not going to be hampus lindholm, which we're going to talk about in a little bit, but between that, the fact that you're going to another goalie and Jeremy swimming, which we'll also talk about..

"And welcome to Pope bear episode 87. 87 car. Yeah, there's no 87. There's no deadline episode. The deadline episode. That's what it is. 87. The number of the trade deadline is 87. If I call one 887, I guess. I'm Miranda. That is Connor Ryan, Connor. What is that? Evan, doing well. How you doing? Doing great. Doing great. Getting down right down to the trade deadline. We were only a few days away. Now, I said on bruins beat, it wasn't heating up, and at the time it wasn't. But now it's starting to really kick into gear. With everything coming out, Italy Friedman has 32 thoughts, Wednesday night, and it was just full of trade rumors, and lots of different stuff with the bruins, but we will start. With Wednesday night's game, which is on TNT and the bruins lost to the wild three to two..

"And we're here with Connor Ryan Connor. What is up? Evan, doing well, how you doing? Doing great. Doing just fantastic. We used to do you and burn speed every single week. Now it's sort of scattered. Your special guest now. We like to take you so hot that it can only be like, you know, once every month, once every bunch of weeks, you're back. Yeah, we're gonna take it easy. Yes, very happy to be like, what's funny is I don't know, I sent this to you, those winter podcast awards. I'm not sure who is running them. But there are 8 finalist podcasts and bruins beat and pump there both in it. So I think both of us can be happy. There's like a fourth of a chance that we're happy. It's like the two Spider-Man guys pointing at each other. That's what that voting poll is apparently. So happy, I'll be happy if you take home the honors Evan. Yeah, well we do both..

"Poke bear episode 80. The daniella Dar episode, the only number 80 in bruins, history. I am Evan marano ski, alongside Connor Ryan, who was on location. Connor informed the people where are you broadcasting from today? Evan, once again, I am from I am broadcasting from a place that again, I usually love to be at Dunkin Donuts, but again, circumstances are less than ideal. Yeah, it's always fun when we talk about this like hyped it up like it's like live from the comedy solids like Connor Ryan live from the frigging Dunkin Donuts fracking on mob or Massachusetts. But that's where I am. The water heater in our apartment exploded and flooded everything. So we are improvising today, and I had my coffee. I had my wake up wrap, so I'm ready to go now. Trudging ahead with less than ideal circumstances. How are you, Evan? I'm doing better, I would say. But at the same time, you had a coffee and wake up wraps and it seems like this was the worst of it, right? You're on the way back up now, it feels like. I would certainly hope so Evan. I would certainly hope so. The dunks see, you gotta get a dunk sponsorship at some point. They got a sponsor you. One of these days, your broadcasting from your doing remote shows like you know how like a lot of radio shows will go and do shows like it like hurricane O'Reilly's and all these different places. You're a dunks. We should do a cope. We should do a podcast at dunks, like inside of the dunks. Next to the old dudes sitting around at 5 in the morning, having their black coffee or just like in amongst the people. I think we got to do this at some point. I mean, why else do you think I pivoted to TikTok Evan? Is it trying to get that sweet, sweet dunking into us or money? Hasn't happened yet, but we'll see what happens. Yes. But anyways, speaking of teams or places that are out of place that are doing things from different locations, this is not bruins related, but it's kind of funny. We can poke fun at it. The coyotes came out on Thursday, saying it was reported that they could be playing at Arizona state for the next three to four years, which is amazing. I think that is incredible. Arizona state is opening up a new wall purpose arena for I believe gymnastics, wrestling, hockey, basketball. I would imagine or if they have their own thing for that already, but I have a lot of that, but I think they I think they absolutely do..

"And welcome in to poke the bear episode 75. Connor clipped an episode clip hockey episode. What a way to ring in Christmas. I'm as Meredith. Alongside Connor Ryan, Connor. What is it? Evan, doing well. How you doing? I'm doing great, enjoying the Christmas slash holiday season, whatever you celebrate. And it's weird because there's no bruins, right? So it's kind of like, you know, on the negative side, there's no bruins, right? No games, no things to talk about on the positive side, though I have extra time to do some shopping. You know, I am not doing it last minute. Not paying attention. You're not always stresses me out when elf when you're watching elf, great movie. But they're heading to central Bach. How about Santa? And James con's wife is like literally like shopping. You know, like 85 frigging bags on Christmas Eve. What are you doing? What are you doing here? It's funny I had to go to target Tuesday night to get snow pants. 'cause I'm learning how to ski soon. So I end up snow pants for it. And there were so many people in the clothing sections and everything just like grabbing stuff. It was like ma'am. And it was very, yeah. It was Dan flashes, you're exactly right. And it was very stressful. I was like, man, that's a bit much for me. I don't know. It stresses me out a bit. I like to get my shopping done somewhat early. I have it all about it. I have to wrap. Now my big thing is like a rapping thing. That's always kind of like to my mom or sister. Hey, can you come help me wrap this? I just don't want you doing it on the cabbage bag. It's fine. I put a little red bow on it, like one of those stick on ones. It works. I thought that works. So anyways, the NHL in general, now we're recording this on Wednesday morning. If we look very tired, it's because we're recording this very early. 9 30 on a Wednesday. It's very early. But at any rate, now the NHL, the holiday break has extended. It is now December 22nd through the 25th the NHL said, well, if games are getting postponed left and right like this, might as well just hand the whole thing. So the real question is, is this going to end after Christmas, right? Are we going to still be in the same predicament after Christmas? And the big question is, should they just suspend all play through new years? To just get every team at square one again with no cases. Connor Ryan, do you think they should be canceled through new year's? I mean, I think they should be just to give you that longer buffer period just to figure out what the next steps are, because one, you're seeing more players even during the shutdown test positive. Like the brooms haven't played since what was it last Thursday and burning Carlo popped a positive test on Tuesday morning? Well, you're still going to get more cases during this time. Even though it seems like the NHL is looking.

"Comes from. All those simple things. All right, I've got a couple more things for you. And then I'll let you go, I appreciate the time. This is great. And it's great for me too. This is all things like I was nervous going into this because I'm like, I don't know what to ask. I don't know, I want to know more, but I don't even know what. I don't know where to start, right? And this is like someone who's trying to learn about it. So I imagine people who are like, oh, it's on their radar, but kind of in the rear view, it's a hard thing and hearing somebody that's relatable and thoughtful is very helpful. I think for myself and I'm sure for listeners as well. To be able to share, I think that's a big thing. It's hard, nowhere to start unless someone tells us. For sure. I'm glad to be able to share it. Natives outdoors, what is natives outdoors, talk to me a little bit about your involvement, what they do. And the whole bit there. Yeah, so native outdoors is an indigenous owned outdoor media and apparel company. Basically, our job is to kind of tackle that representation issue that I talk about before from both sides. And so we aim to create media that tells the story of native folks on the land doing whatever sports it is that we do now and we do like we have a big ambassador team and across us all when he does just about every sport and just about every part of the country and essentially we think that needs to exist so that one other native folks can see us out here doing these things and know like rock climbing skiing, whatever you do, it's for you as a native person. This is your land, get out there and do it. You're not alone in doing it. And it can connect to your traditional values. And on the other side, if you're somebody who participates in one of these sports and you want to know, what's the original history year? How can I be more connected to native folks than the issues and different areas? We've got content in media when it comes to that. And we've got ambassadors who are in all these places or traveling around all these places who are providing an example of like, okay, this is the way forward. And so yeah, we make a lot of cool movies and articles, little projects here and there and then basically every one of our ambassadors is someone who's just super rowdy and gets after it. Yeah, we've got a super cool team of folks. I also on this sort of topic, I want to ask you about you have a film coming out about you in January. Tell me about it. Tell me what's going on with the film, what the story is, what the, what the plot is, if you will. And yeah, just tell people a little bit more about that. Yeah, so this January, I'll have the film coming out. It's called spirit of the peaks. I made it with REI and a number of other great folks. And essentially it's my journey as a Lakota who mostly skis on land of kind of figuring out what do I do to make my impact in this place more than a land acknowledgment? So if you're familiar with the idea of a land acknowledgment, it's essentially saying, wherever we are, we are on native land. And this is whose land it was. And are there people and their history that made our being here possible? And essentially, I kept skiing in the San juans, and he's just incredible, big, burly, you know, 13, 14,000 foot mountains with amazing lines and amazing dry cold awesome powder. And I was so grateful to be in these places and I knew I needed to do more than just put on the bottom of my posts that I'm in territory. That didn't feel like enough for me. And so this film kind of is my journey of figuring out how to make that and how to do more than a landing acknowledgment. So, you know, it took me to the southern reservation to learn for some awesome tribal leaders there, connect with some young folks and get them out skiing and you know that experience of just learning the history, getting involved with the community and how that liberated me to be able to go after some big objectives and feel like I was right with the spirit of the peaks in that place because just as much as those mountains are beautiful and powerful and can allow you to do fun things, some of the mountains with some of the craziest avalanche situations and a lot of people lose their lives skiing there. And for me, I wanted the mountains themselves and, you know, the energy of that place to feel like it knew I was doing something more. For the land and for the people. Yeah. I mean, that's amazing dude. And I'm excited to see it. I can't wait. It feels like I wish it was coming out sooner, which was coming out tomorrow, but it's like one of those things that you just have to just have to wait for. We got away. We'll be teasing enough along the way. We've got some awesome folks. We were a part of it. My good buddy and mentor, Cody Townsend makes an awesome appearance and so we'll be dropping a little snippets and trailers along the way till the end. A few lines here and there to give folks stuff. So yeah, it'll come quicker than you think. The winter always does. Yeah, I'm very excited. I'm sure we all are. Connor, where can people find you online, where can people find you on social media? Where can people find what you're up to? Tell people a little bit about that. Yeah, for sure. I'd say the easiest way to follow along is I'm pretty active on Instagram. My handles at sacred stoke. And people can also check out natives outdoors, dot com and at the same time I just put out an article and we'll be promoting it a little more soon coming up. But I put out an article with Patagonia. I ride for them. And we did a story called hotshot cold smoke about a Lakota wildlands firefighter and ski patrol up there and you can find that on the Patagonia website. Beautiful. I'll make sure I link all this stuff in the episode in the show notes. Thanks for your time, man. This has been great. Yeah, for sure it was a pleasure Adam. Hello, there. I hope you guys enjoyed that episode. We have more coming to you soon. Talk to you next week with Roy bushfield. And the week after, we have one of my favorite interviews ever with Jamie Walter. That one was excellent, it's been a long time coming. So I'm glad it lived up to my expectations. And I'm sure to Jamie's as well. We had a good time. So there's some good ones coming. I'm psyched to finally be doing these in person consistently again so much better than doing over Zoom. And the audio is way better. So yeah, enjoy. Talk to you guys. Next week, bye..

"From worst to bad. Dude, it's incredible. How much stuff that you remember? I mean, obviously it's important to you. So you remember it, but your ability to talk about all these issues at once is super impressive. I mean, it is like, I'm an idiot and so many ways. There is no way in hell I could remember all of the stuff that these answers you didn't have a chance to look at any of the stuff that I was going to ask you beforehand because I don't have it written down. It's all off the top. So I don't know, I just wanted to give you props for being that well spoken about these subjects. That's huge, man. A lot of times you'll ask somebody something and they're like, I don't know, man. We just need to do more. And you're like more what? But I think those kind of answers are really like, that's great for people to hear. Thanks. Yeah, I appreciate that. And in this day and age where everybody is an activist of some sort, one of my favorite quotes comes from Lakota rapper, his name's Frank Wang. And he said, I'm not an activist on black Holter. And to me, that's how I feel about it. Where it's like, I can't forget these things or let these things go because to me these are like part of who I am as a human being. And I've done ceremonies and I've been, you know, initiated in my culture to where my value for the water and the planet in the air is integral to who I am and I was really taught to have that understanding of every molecule that makes up your body as a human being was once a part of the earth. You know, and all this water that's in you is in this like really complicated exchanging cycle with every other being on earth. And the water that's being used been in trees and it's been extremes and oceans and it's been in the snow that you skied on and all those things and so for me it's just like, kind of an integrated understanding that I try to live with and just, you know, keep on my mind and heart at all times because I don't think there's anything more important to me anyways than water. And that's, you know, I've had cultural experiences that just mean that really real for me where I've had to go days without water. And then you start to realize really quickly like, okay, like yeah, we need water more than we need oil. We need water more than we need money. These basic human things, like, we are a biological process, first and foremost. Before I'm a skier, I'm 60% water. That's good. Just keeps it really real. Yeah, I mean, imagine if we valued water the same way that we value gas or oil. I mean, it's like, we don't think about it because we have it. It's accessible, right? But I mean, who knows? Like one day, that ship might just be not there, you know? You gotta turn on the faucet and I mean, a few oil pipelines are a few bad decisions away from taking water for granted anymore. You know, that's what they say, right? You don't. You don't miss your water until you're well run dry. And I think that's kind of where we're at as human beings. We're like, oh, we still need fossil fuels to transition and blah blah blah. Yeah, but figure out how to live without fossil fuels. There's no figuring out how to live without water. Oh, dude, this is water, and they were like, oh, we need a transition to something other than what? That shit would have been figured out in 60 seconds. There would be nobody's going thirsty for more than a day. Like, are you shitting me? There's no chance. It would not be the same thing. So for people listening that our hearing you and they vibe with you and they're like, okay, what can I do as a regular person to an air quotes regular person? To make this situation better, right? To be more inclusive to actively involve more native people to donate where you can donate to volunteer where they can what types of things do you think have the most effect? Like most bang for the buck, as they say, four people to do, right? Because I think one of the things that people as activists make mistakes with is they ask people for too much. And they go donate here here here here here, do this thing, do this thing. This thing, and then people are like overwhelmed and they're like, I have my own life to live, and that's fair, right? But what can people do that is feasible for the average person to go out and make a difference? I think for me the one off the top of my head that's the simplest is like, you go to my Instagram, I'm at sacred stoke. There's a real right up there at the top, two, three posts ago. You could watch it. It's me shredding some sweet pal in Montana on my people's traditional homelands. And in the caption to that there is a number that you can just text and by texting that number, the code that's in the caption there. You can send a letter to Joe Biden and your senators and Congress people and it will tell them that you want them to step in and stop the line three pipeline. I think that's one of the simplest things to do. There's another. Plenty of other things. I think culturally, I'm a huge proponent of I think cultural change is the thing that we're missing most right now between where we're at and the policy changes. We want to see implemented is like, we just got to have everybody on the same page of like, oh yeah, water is the most essential thing. There is the most essential thing access to land is an inalienable human right. Those sorts of things. And so I think the other one too is like follow along with what I do follow along with natives outdoors, that's one of the brands that I represent, you know, and learn how to integrate as a person who's skiing or whatever you do in the outdoors, learn how to integrate these simple ecological understandings in your process of being outside. And I think a lot of people already do that. It's like just expand that and another step, reflect on these things and the more you find yourself in reciprocity with the land and forming a relationship like that, the more naturally inclined you're going to be to find the solutions locally yourself that you know you need to be involved in. That's really the thing is that classic adage think globally act locally. We're all part of an ecosystem, whether we choose to be or not, whether we choose to recognize that or not. So it's like, learn how to participate in your ecosystem where you're at and learn how to love that and understand that gives you life quite literally. Learn where your water.

"Then we should be at the center of how that looks moving forward as native people and the reason why is we need to create jobs for ourselves and roles for ourselves within our community and on the land that create economic opportunity moving forward, but also put our people back in those places. Yeah. And so that for me is really how I see it now. And I'm like, dang, look at all this backcountry skiing that happens out here in this empty place. Wouldn't it be amazing if there's a native ski guide here? Who could be the one to take you to go ski these lines? And as backcountry recreation and those things grow, I just think about what my experience of being able to get out there has done for my life and my well-being and I want that for other native folks. Where it's like, okay, we can't undo colonization. We can't undo capitalism overnight and just like, boom, everything's 1491 again. Yeah, right. That's not possible. So it's like, okay, well, if we have to choose a way as native people to make a living for ourselves, shouldn't it be out here in these places that make us feel whole and these places that miss us in the way that they're cared for? And so I really see it as an opportunity moving forward of like, okay, we can all gain something by bringing native people back into these spaces and if I can become a professional skier in the course of 7 years or I have another body who I just wrote an article for Patagonia's cleanest line about who became a ski patrol in the course of like three years. And she's on his homelands. And if those kind of things can happen that quick like a few times, it can probably happen a lot of times. And there's a consistency there. For native people improving our mental health and well-being by being on the land. And if we can, you know, have a place to live in a roof over our head at the same time by doing that. That's a pretty rad way forward. Yeah, I think that's great. It's like, I always wonder what the plan is. How to make these types of things happen, right? Because I talk about a minus at this point. But how do we get to the point where that is the norm, right? Where it's like, because again, back to that argument of, why do we even need to talk about it? Well, the idea is that we get to a point where everybody is like whole essentially, right? Like everybody feels at home. Everybody feels comfortable. And everybody has a place in this industry that we all share. How do you think we get to that point? What are the steps? And again, I don't want to, I hate asking these types of questions to people because I feel like I'm Connor. How do we save the world? You tell me and like everybody's gonna hold this model until the end of time. But like what does it look like? I mean, I think there's a lot of ways it can look and I'm not uncomfortable answering the question because it's like something I obsess about. And so I think, yeah, like moving forward, we have to take some sort of initiative to return stewardship of the land to native people, right? That's a movement that's really popular in native circles right now is what we call land back. But when we talk about land back, like, we don't mean like, okay, it's all ours, only we can be there. And everybody else goes back to wherever they came from. That's not even the way forward that we want. Yeah. I want you as someone who's a second generation immigrant to this country. Like, I want you to be here and ski with me and be on these places and that's what I want as a native person. And so but at the same time, in getting there, like you said, you want everybody to feel whole in that home. And I think that has to start with the people who original home this is. And putting us at the forefront of how these places are taking care of and other in Colorado where the mountains are kind of endless. And the only limiting factor in some ways to getting there is access. And knowing how to sustainably access these places. And if I think there's anyone to ask about how to do that, it's native folks. And so it's like, okay, well, if we need a new ski resort, we need a new model of skiing, maybe that's like guided backcountry skiing or avalanche controlled backcountry skiing, or whatever these things might be. We need to at least be at the center of the conversation of how that happens. And I think at the same time, lands needed to be returned to native people for us to manage for everybody's recreation. And we need to be allowed to profit off that. And there's places where there's already that happening. There's two ski resorts ski Apache and sunrise mountain park resort, whatever it's called down in Arizona and New Mexico, where the tribe owns and runs the ski area, like other tribes my own and run a casino. And to me, that kind of model is the way for. Where it's like, okay, let's give this piece of BLM land, let's say, because PLM is currently run by Deb Howland, who's the secretary of the interior and she's native, right? And so let's give some land back to tribes back to different tribal entities and let them run a new ski resort. A new mountain bike trail system. A new hiking area, a new camping area, whatever this is. And then when we have that land back to take care of it, everybody can recreate there, and the profit that comes from that, the gear shop at the bottom of the hill or the lift ticket or whatever the cost of admission is, that can go to a tribal fund that then exists so that we can proliferate and educate our own people on our own existing land management practices. And so at the same time, this is going to be a climate solution. This can be an access solution. All these different things at once. And so for me, I think that's how it goes. And to create jobs and to better education of our own people on our own practices and culture is really kind of the recipe for me. I think. Yeah, I think that's, I think that sounds great. And I guess I don't understand why there would be a whole lot of resistance, but I imagine you feel and you get a lot of resistance from people on these kind of ideas, right? Like people are like, I don't know. It seems like everybody acts like their stuff is being taken away. For some reason, it seems like the reaction to.

"That don't exist anymore. So there's one side of it that's like, yeah, we have to show people that native folks are still around and we do even ski. And then the other flip side of it is like, we have to show native folks that get like we can be in this place. And this is something we can do and typically for native folks like I think the sports that we're shown in the most are like running in basketball and because of that, those are huge in our cultures. Nowadays, you know, there's a lot of pow wows that have three on three basketball tournament. And there's all sorts of times that they'll be a cause in native youth will run hundreds of miles for a cause and like, that's something we're used to seeing. And we're not used to seeing a skier as an activist as a native person. And so that representation side of it is huge. And to me, representation within the sport is one of the biggest things that I try to just fight for and make really known and really plain because there aren't other native folks who ski, but almost every time I bring up that conversation with them, their experience is so similar to mine where they just felt isolated and that their experience as a native person skiing was something they were all alone in or just their family or however it might be. And so yeah, there's a lot of work that needs to be done there. And it kind of comes from two different sides. But I think the singular solution of that is just having the outdoor industry and ski media on our side to be like, yeah, we're here. We are actually here in our experience as different, but our experience is the same in a lot of ways. And we, you know, we have something to contribute to this space because we've always been here. We are in these mountains before they were ski resorts or anything like that. But yeah, the representation thing for me is huge. You know, it's like, there were no black folks in any sport before Jackie Robinson. And now could we imagine professional sports as we know them the NDA the NFL MLB any of those sports without that. And so it took just like that first kind of seed of being like, oh no, this is a space where these people belong for the people themselves to know they belong there, and for the fans to embrace that. Yeah. And I think one of the things that I end up fighting all the time, one of the battles, I guess I start fighting online all the time is like people are like, why even mention it? Why do you even need to talk about it? And this is why you need to talk about it so that other people listening like you like myself, like whatever you're from, if you feel like there's not people like you out there, it's important to know that there are. I think that's why it's important to talk about for one. And two, it's like, why would I shut up about it? You know, like, why do I need to be like, why do I need to be quiet? Why do you need to be quiet? It's like we should be proud of where we come from, just like everybody else. It's like, I'm just as proud of the American side as I am the Arab side. But the American side is like a given. I am proud and I have to be proud almost, you know? The other side is like, I should just hide that and that's how I felt growing up was like you sweep it under the rug. You don't talk about it as much because you're afraid of how people are going to look at you one way or the other. Oh, totally. That's definitely how I feel and felt growing up. And I think it's definitely there's a way that it's amplified for those of us who are mixed race in that way. Because there's a part of you that's like, well, should I could cut my hair a little different and I could save it. Totally. I could dress a little different. And I could sink into that comfortability and privilege that's there . And then there's another side of you that's also why should I have to sacrifice that because you're uncomfortable. And I think that's really the thing about it is usually that anybody that's telling you to be quiet about it, it's not about you. It's about them. And what they're uncomfortable hearing. And for native folks in particular, I feel like where the part of the past of this continent that people and the land. Yeah, well, that's the thing. People don't want to don't want to talk about the fact that we wouldn't be having all these forest fires if native folks were still managing the forest to move game around and set small fires in order to get certain plant species to grow in a more prolific way. And all those things like that very concept of wilderness and how we see the land in this country is like based around removing native people first and then imagining it as empty. And I think that it feels especially magnified when you're in a ski resort and people get a lookout over this expanse of untouched lands and think it's all been perfect and that's the way it should be. And it's like, dude, this is our home. So how do you manage that then as a skier, like you're looking at this land and everybody's using this land and like at one point you feel a connection to the land as your own and like, but on the other hand, you're looking at it, like, I want to go skiing. I want to go out there and I want to I want everybody to use this land for what it's for, I guess. So there's got to be a balance point, and I'm, I don't know, I'm sure you've thought about this. What do you think about? How do you balance that as a as a native person? And as a person wants to go skiing. For me, I think like, I see it so much like, especially now I saw it differently, maybe, you know, 5 years ago when I had only been skiing for a couple of seasons. There was a part of me that was more resentful then. Didn't understand how the outdoor industry works and things like that. And now I see it as like, okay, this is an opportunity for justice and equity. Where it's like, we have nearly $1 trillion industry when it comes to outdoor recreation. That happens exclusively on stolen land. Yeah. And it's growing. It's growing every year. Yeah. And so it's like, okay, for me, the way I think about it is if we need better access if we need to take care of these lands better and if we need more places this can be more places to hike more places to all those things, then we should be at the center of how that looks moving forward as native people and the reason why is we need to create jobs for ourselves and roles for ourselves within our community and on the land that create economic opportunity moving forward, but also put our people back in those places. Yeah. And so that for me is really how I see it now. And I'm like, dang, look at all this backcountry skiing that happens out here in this empty place.

Where it's like, okay, we can't undo colonization. We can't undo capitalism overnight and just like, boom, everything's 1491 again. Yeah, right. That's not possible. So it's like, okay, well, if we have to choose a way as native people to make a living for ourselves, shouldn't it be out here in these places that make us feel whole and these places that miss us in the way that they're cared for? And so I really see it as an opportunity moving forward of like, okay, we can all gain something by bringing native people back into these spaces and if I can become a professional skier in the course of 7 years or I have another body who I just wrote an article for Patagonia's cleanest line about who became a ski patrol in the course of like three years.

"She goes to the hill, nobody looks twice at her when my dad goes to the hill who's an Arab guy with a big with a big beard, he gets a hundred looks and a hundred comments every single day. So what is that like for you? What do you think about this whole situation? Because I think you're right. We're finally getting a chance to talk about this kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, I think like the spectrum of people's understanding of native folks and then native folks understanding of where we belong in a balance to that is so wide. Like I've had the experience at my own home of people just completely with the mindset that native people don't really exist anymore. I remember the first time I explained to someone what natives outdoors was on the lift. And then I was a native skier. He and I couldn't tell if it was like totally on of ignorance or if it was trying to be disrespectful or what it was, but he literally asked me if I was related to sacagawea. And I was like, one. You didn't even pronounce that right? Like this and that and like, it's just so complicated. But then I also think about growing up where I grew up here in Colorado on the front range stolen Cheyenne rapahoe Lakota land. We're not really talked about. And when you learn about natives in school, when I learned about them, they taught you about the ancestral puebloans that they call the anasazi out on the west slope and blah blah blah and they made us seem like ancient people that don't exist anymore.

"Because it took a lot for me to afford and fight to have the opportunity to even be on the mountain and so I really identified with it after having to earn it in with what so there's a few things I want to touch on. One of the things and it's a thing I've been kind of harping on a lot lately is the expense and making it more accessible for people to go skiing, right? And it's like, you hear all spectrums of opinion from I don't know, I got some guy messaging me or emailed me yesterday about something I posted and he's like, doesn't just need to be cheaper. Why are we assuming everybody is like broke that doesn't go skiing? Just because of the color of their skin or where they come from. It's not necessarily assumption of them being broke. I mean, whether they are they aren't, it's just like, why would you spend that money on a thing you don't know how to do and don't necessarily feel welcome, right? And that's always the thing. So what do you think about that? How can we get more people involved in the sport that maybe don't look like the typical white guy that normally is. And again, I always kind of feel like I have to preface this a little bit because obviously people are sensitive and I don't want to be attacking anybody because, like I said, my mom's a white lady from west Springfield, like people know this, and I love her more than anybody on the planet has nothing to do with her being white. But when she goes to the hill, nobody looks twice at her when my dad goes to the hill who's an Arab guy with a big with a big beard, he gets a hundred looks and a hundred comments every single day.

Go follow Connor Ryan, blah blah blah blah. Go happy Monday. Tuesday. Hi. Connor, tell people who you are, tell people a little bit about yourself. And we'll go from there. How am I talking about staying not based shizuko, Connor Ryan, amicia? My Lakota, it Colin has gone. I grew up with a good hand and a good heart today relatives. My name is Connor Ryan. And I come from the Rocky Mountains or is my people call them pesky. I'm a professional skier. Based here in the boulder area where I was born and raised, and my passion really is using skiing as a medium to connect people to the land and use my insides that come from my traditional culture in order to do that. And at the same time, you know, I like to really focus on what I can do within the sport to create more opportunity for native folks to have the opportunity to participate in skiing or trail running or mountain biking or any of the other things that I get out there to do. And I also like for skiers and runners and mountain bikers and climbers to get to have a bit more context. About the real story of these places that we come from and the true history behind them that often gets left out or overlooked within the industry. Yeah, totally. I mean, first of all, that's amazing. That's the one of the better intros I think that we've had on this show because it's authentic. It's who you are. And it's like, it's right there for people. People were wondering what who you are? You're a native. And I think that part of you is something that you identify with super heavily, especially if you follow along on Instagram or on any social feed, you're constantly talking about it. You're constantly bringing attention to that. And I think that's so important, man. Yeah, thanks. It means a lot to me and it's just it's one of those things that you know I think like all of the industry, you know, the outdoor industry as a whole. Like it all happens on native land. And up until this point, like there hasn't been a whole lot of room for us to say how we feel about that. And for me, I'm outspoken when it comes to that side of myself because my experience is skiing are what made my culture real to me. You know, my culture is all about connection and relationship with the land. And I didn't really have a connection in a relationship to the land until I was a skier. And that's when it all clicked when I really learned what, you know, words of my language meant and why we did the ceremonies and all those sort of things for me, that came from my experiences outside. When when was your first time on snow? When did you feel like you became a skier? When were you when did you start to connect with that? Yeah, my first time on snow. I mean, obviously, I grew up in Colorado here on the edge of a chitty shackle in, which is my nation's homelands. So I always grew up around snow and the first time I got to ski, I skied from like 5 to ten growing up. And it was my dad who took me out skiing and my dad's actually white guy from Ohio, my mom's native. And so that was what he was into what him brought him to Colorado. You know, way back in the day.
