I JUST OPENED THE WINDOW FOR SOME AIR.
NICK: AT ONE POINT HAMAS
COMMANDER YAHYA SINWAR VISITED,
TO PROMISE THE HOSTAGES WOULD
SURVIVE. >>
WE SLEPT ON CHAIRS, WITHOUT A MATTRESS.
WE COVERED OURSELVES WITH A SHEET.
THAT''S ALL WE HAD, AND NOT EVERYONE HAD A SHEET.
THE BOYS SLEPT ON THE GROUND,
BECAUSE WE WANTED THEM NEXT TO
US, SO THEY WOULDN''T BE ALONE.
NICK: THEIR
SON WAS KILLED. AMNA:
YOU HAVE BEEN
REPORTING ON THIS TRUCE EXTENSION.
TELL US ABOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS
BEHIND THE SCENES. COULD IT BE EXTENDED
FURTHER? NICK: THAT IS WHAT THE U.S. IS HO
PING FOR.
U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THE GOAL IS TO
EXPAND THE
CATEGORY OF HOSTAGE THAT HAMAS WOULD
RELEASE. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN WOMEN AND CHILDR
EN. WE THINK AFTER
TOMORROW THERE WILL BE ABOUT 20 OR
SO WOMEN AND CHILDREN
LEFT TO
BE RELEASED INCLUDING TWO AMERICANS.
AFTER THAT THE U.S.
SAYS THE GOAL WOULD
BE TO GET ELDERLY MEN RELEASED.
AND THEN CIVILIAN MEN OUT.
THE LAST CATEGORY
IN THE MOST DIFFICULT BY FAR WOULD
BE FEMALE ISRAELI DEFENSE
FORCE SOLDIERS WERE HOSTAGES
AS WELL AS MAIL ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES.
AT EACH STEP ISRAEL WOULD HAVE TO
EXTEND THE CATEGORY OF
PALESTINIAN THEY ARE WILLING
TO RELEASE FROM ITS PRISONS.
THAT IS THE
CORE OF WHAT U.S. OFFICIALS
ARE TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH
HAMAS MEDIATED BY QATAR.
TRY AND
FIGURE OUT HOW
HAMAS CAN EXPAND
THE CATEGORIES AND HOW
ISRAEL CAN EXPAND
THE CATEGORIES OF DETAINEES AND
PRESENTERS IT WOULD RELEASE.
THE U.S. SAYS
IT WANTS THAT NO
MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
BUT IT DOES SAY IT''S GOAL
IS MIRRORING THE ISRAELI GOAL.
TO GET HAMAS OUT OF GAZA ENTIRE
LY. EVEN THOUGH
THOSE GOALS
ARE NOT NECESSARILY COMPATIBLE.
GET ALL THE HOSTAGES
OUT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ALLOW
ISRAEL TO COMPLETE ITS MILITARY
MISSION AS ISRAEL DEFINES THAT MILITARY
MISSION. ON THAT FRONT AS WE HAVE
SAID, U.S. OFFICIALS WENT MUCH FURTHER
THAN THEY HAVE SO FAR, WARNING
ISRAEL ABOUT THE MILITARY OPERATION,
SAYING THE MILITARY
OPERATION IN THE
SOUTH CANNOT
DISPLACE AS MANY GAZANS HAD IT DID IN THE
NORTH . CANNOT DAMAGE
OR DESTROY AS MANY BUILDINGS AS
THEY DID IN THE NORTH.
THEY
SAID IF ISRAEL
DOES NOT
CHANGE THEIR TACTICS IT WILL BE
BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF ANY HUMANITA
RIAN SUPPORT NETWORK TO
COPE.
BUT STRATEGICALLY THE U.S. SUPP
ORTS WHAT ISRAEL IS TRYING TO DO, TRYING TO GET
HAMAS ENTIRELY OUT OF GAZA. AMNA:
W E WILL SEE HOW THOSE WORDS
GET ACTIONS ON THE GROUND.

RESTRICTIVE. THEY ARGUE THAT THE MEDICAL

SUED A STATE SINCE ROE WAS OVERTURNED.
TAYLOR EDWARDS, WHO IS ONE OF THE PLAINTIFFS, AND MOLLY
DUANE, THEIR LEAD ATTORNEY, JOIN US
NOW. THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING WI
TH US. TAYLOR,
TELL US
YOUR STORY ABOUT WHY YOU HAD TO
LEAVE TEXAS
AND GO TO COLORADO TO RECEIVE CARE. TAYLOR:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. I GUE
SS I CAN START MY STORY
BACK -- I WENT THROUGH A LONG
IVF JOURNEY TO GET PREGNANT IN
THE FIRST PLACE. IT
WAS OUR THIRD EMBRYO TRANSFER TH
AT WORKED. WE
WERE HIGHLY MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY AND
EVERYTHING WAS GOING REALLY
SMOOTHLY UNTIL WE
GOT TO OUR ANATOMY SCAN.
AT OUR ANATOMY SCAN
WE WERE GIVEN A FATAL
DIAGNOSIS. SHE
WAS ESSENTIALLY NEVER GOING TO
LIVE IF SHE MADE IT TO BIRTH.
HAVING TO SIT
THERE WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND THEM
TELL YOU
WE CANNOT HELP YOU, HERE IS A NUMBER TO
CALL, THAT IS
WHAT WE WERE LEFT WITH AFTER THA
T APPOINTMENT. AND SO WE HAD TO CALL
OUT-OF-STATE IT WE HAD TO NEW
MEXICO FIRST. WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT
WITH THE CLINIC
AND THREE HOURS BEFORE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BOARD A PLANE
TO NEW MEXICO THEY
CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF
MEDICATION AND SO WE ARE LEFT TO SCRAMBLE.
I WAS 18 WEEKS PREGNANT
AND I WAS WORRIED I
WAS GOING
TO BE TOO FAR ALONG AND WAS A WHOLE
THING. I TRIED TO FIND
ANOTHER CLINIC IN NEW MEXICO THAT W
AS AVAILABLE AND THERE WAS NONE.
WE HAD TO REBOOK EVERYTHING TO
GO TO COLORADO JUST TO RECEIVE
MEDICAL CARE. IT TOOK A
FEAT TO
GET THROUGH ALL OF THAT LOGISTICS, AND TRAVELING IS
STRESSFUL ENOUGH
EVEN WHEN YOU ARE JUST GOING ON VACATION.
GOING THROUGH THE MOST TRAUMATIC
EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE WHILE TRAVELING IS ANO
THER LAYER. GEOFF: DID
THE DOCTOR IN TEXAS EXPLICITLY S
AY THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE CARE BECAUSE OF
THE STATE''S ABORTION LAWS? TA
YLOR: YES.
HE SAID MY HANDS ARE TIED. IF THIS
HAPPENED 1.5,
I COULD HAVE
PROVIDED YOU
IN ABORTION HERE WITH YOUR DOCTOR. GEOFF:
HOW COMMON ARE THE STORIES? MOLLY:
HER STORY IS HORRIBLE BUT YOU
NOT -- BUT NOT UNIQUE, UNFORTUNATELY.
THIS IS
HAPPENING DAILY IN
PLACES LIKE TEXAS ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER STATES.
13, 1
4 STATES
IN THE U.S. WHERE ABORTION IS
NOW BANNED. WHILE
THERE ARE TECHNICALLY MEDICAL EXCE
PTIONS ON THE BOOKS, AS TAYLOR''S EXPE
RIENCE SHOWS THEY DO NOT FUN CTION IN PRACTICE.
GEOFF: SO
WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL WITH TH
IS LAWSUIT? MOLLY: THE
GOAL IS
SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE
TAYLOR WILL NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE EXTREME
TRAUMA THAT SHE WENT THROU GH.
WE HAVE
IN THIS CASE,
IT BEGAN WITH FIVE WOMEN A ND IT IS NOW UP
TO 20 WOMEN
WHICH SHOWS HOW WIDESPREAD T HE PROBLEM
IS IN TEXAS AS WELL
AS OTHER STATES AROUND THE COUNTRY.
AND THE GOAL IS TO HELP WOMEN
AND TO MAKE SURE THAT
DOCTORS CAN ACTUALLY PROVIDE MEDICAL
CARE JUST WHAT AN ABORTION IS.
IT IS STANDARD REPRODUCTIVE
MEDICAL CARE
THAT WOMEN
AND PREGNANT PEOPLE
ROUTINELY NEED FOR ANY NUMBER OF REA
SONS.
AND IN
SOME WAYS
THIS LAWSUIT IS VERY SMALL.
IT IS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MAKE
SURE THE MEDICAL
EXEMPTION FUNCTIONS IN
PRACTICE. IN OTHER WAYS
IT IS QUITE LARGE BECAUSE
TAYLOR AND HER
CO-PLAINTIFFS ARE SHOWING AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF BRAVE
RY AND SELF-SACRIFICE
TO TELL THEIR STORIES PUBLICLY
SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN UNDERSTAND
ABORTION IS HEALTH
CARE AND
WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN STATES
ACROSS THE
COUNTRY IS UNCONSCIONABLE AND SHOULD NOT CONTINUE ANYMOR
E. GEOFF: WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES
FOR PHYSICIANS WHO VIOLATE
TEXAS''S AB TION
LAWS? MOLLY:
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LIFE IN PRISON, LOSS OF MEDICAL
LICENSE, AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS IN CIVIL FINES. SO
QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY PHYSICIANS ARE TERRIFIED.
THEY DON''T KNOW WHEN OR HOW
CLOSE TO DEATH A PATIENT NEEDS
TO BE BEFORE THEY CAN PROVIDE
ABORTION CARE. THEY HAVE BEEN
BEGGING THE STATE FOR GUIDANCE
FOR YEARS AND IT HAS FALLEN ON DEAF E
ARS. SO HERE WE ARE.
COURTS ARE PLACES THAT CAN
VINDICATE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
TAYLOR HAS
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN TEXAS.
GEOFF: THE
ASSISTANT AG IN TEXAS
MAKES THE POINT THAT THE PROBLEM, IF THERE IS
ONE, LIES WITH THE DOCTORS.
HERE IS WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY. >>
A WOMAN IS BLEEDING OR HAS
FLUID RUNNING DOWN HER
LEGS, THAT WOMAN WOULD CLEARLY
QUALIFY FOR THE EXEMPTION.
IF SHE HAS TO COME TO COURT TO
MAKE THAT HAPPEN IS NOT THE STATE''S
FAULT. GEOFF:
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE? MOLLY:
MY RESPONSE
IS THE STATE HAS BEEN SAYING OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THE EXEMPTION IS CLEAR AND
YET THEY HAVE
NEVER ONCE TOLD
US WHAT THEY THINK THE EXCEPTION MEANS.
IN FACT, CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY
SAID TODAY, THEY HAVE MADE EVERY
ATTEMPT TO SHOW THE AMNIOTIC FLUID
DOES NEED TO BE RUNNING DOWN A PATIENT''S LEG B
EFORE THEY CAN COME TO COURT.
WHAT
TAYLOR SAID HER DOCTOR SAID
TO HER IS VERBATIM WHAT I HAVE
HEARD FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF MY
CLIENTS, WHICH IS
MY DOCTOR SAID THAT HER HANDS WERE TIED.
WHO TIED THEM?
THE STATE OF TEXAS. GEOFF:
TAYLOR, HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS
LAWSUIT, AND WHY DID YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO JO
IN IT? TAYLOR: AS SOON
AS WE GOT HOME
FROM COLORADO I CONTACTED
MULTIPLE NEWS AGENCIES.
[PLEASE STAND BY]
GEOFF: HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR
HUSBAND DOING NOW? TAYLOR:
WE ARE HANGING
IN THERE.
I AM
ACTUALLY CURRENTLY PREGNANT.
FOUR MONTHS AFTER WE LOST OUR DA
UGHTER. SO THAT
HAS BEEN A NEW EXPERIENCE.
IT HAS BEEN TOUGH.
BEING PREGNANT IN TEXAS IS
REALLY SCARY. AND
I DON''T HAVE ANY LIVING CHILDREN,
OR I WOULD
NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS
AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS A REALLY
SCARY TIME T
O BE A PREGNANT PERSON IN TEXAS.
TAYLOR EDWARDS,
THANK YOU
FOR SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US, AND MOLLY
DUANE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
MOLLY: THANKS.

THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE ARE
SPENDING TO GET TO KNOW
THE PATIENT,

KINCAID SAYS LESS TIME TO SEE MORE PATIENTS AND
HIGH DRUG
COSTS, AMONG OTHER
INDUSTRY PROFIT INCENTIVES, CAN RUN COUNTER
TO A NURSE''S MOST
SACRED DUTY. >> YOU
HAVE THIS MORAL OBLIGATION TO ASSIST PATIENTS
IN ACHIEVING THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS. WHEN

THERE IS
ONLY SO MANY
TIMES YOU CAN HIT YOUR HEAD AGAINST A WALL.
STEPHANIE: RESEARCHERS CALL THIS FEELIN
G MORAL INJURY, AND
FIND IT CAN LEAD CLINICIANS TO DEPRESSION AND
EVEN PTSD.
SOME STRESSORS ARE HARD TO SEE, EXCEPT
FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO DEAL WITH THEM EVERY DAY.
EASE OF
USE ISSUES
WITH THE
ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEMS HAVE A
LSO BEEN LINKED TO HIGHER RATES OF BURNOUT.
NATIONALLY, MORE THAN ONE THIRD
OF NURSES
SURVEYED SAID
THEY SPEND
EXCESSIVE TIME WORKING ON INPUTTING STATS IN
A COMPUTER,
ON BREAKS OR AFTER
SHIFTS. >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHY PE
OPLE WENT
INTO NURSING,
IT''S BECAUSE THEY LOVE PEOPLE.
BUT A
LOT OF THE JOY IN TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE HAS
BEEN TAKEN AWAY IN
LARGE PART BECAUSE OF MANY
TASKS THAT NEED TO BE
DONE. >>
WHILE I THINK THE CONVERSATION REGAR

ION TO ADDRESS DISENFRANCHISEMENT AND
FOOD INSECURITY. TONIGHT, REVEREND BROWN SHAR
ES HIS BRIEF BUT SPECTACULAR TAKE
ON NOURISHING THE MIND, BODY,
AND SOUL. >>
ONE OF THE THURN
-- ONE OF THE
THINGS I LEARNED
ABOUT THING A PASTOR IS SO
MUCH OF
MY WORK
WENT BEYOND SUNDAY MORNING.
I WAS SHARING LIFE WITH PEOPLE AND
AS I SHARED LIFE WITH MEMBERS OF MY
CHURCH I
LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE PRESSING MATTERS OF THEIR LIV
ES, LIKE
THEIR HEALTH AND
FINANCES AND FOOD NEEDS AND THEIR HOU
SEHOLDS. AND THAT PULLED MY
HEART TO DO SOMETHING MORE AND DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT WITH RESPECT
TO HOW I SHOWED UP AS A PASTOR.
I WAS A PASTOR FOR 14 YEARS AND AFTER 14 YEARS I LEFT THE
PPULPIT, WENT TO THE FARM. SO MY MINISTRY CONTINUES, BU
T NOW I''M KIND OF A PREACH
ER AND A FARMER ALL TOGETHER.
WHILE I WAS PASTORING PLEASANT
HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH, I NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE MEMBERS O
F OUR CONGREGATION WERE BEING
HOSPITALIZED REPEATEDLY FOR DIET-RELATED ISSUES.
WHEN I NOTICED THAT PATTERN AND
I RECOGNIZED THAT THE NUTRIENT-RICH FOOD THAT WE
NEEDED WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME AND OUR MEMBERS, WE STARTE
D GROWING OUR OWN FOOD. I WATCHED THAT GARDEN TRANSF
ORM THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF T
HAT CHURCH. THE MAGIC WAS IN THE GARDEN
AND IN THE FOOD.
I WAS LED TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION CALLED
THE BLACK CHURCH FOOD SECURITY
NETWORK. THE CHURCH HAS SERVED AS A H
UB FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, AND SO IT ONLY MA
KES SENSE TO UTILIZE THE EXISTIN
G ASSETS OF THE CHURCH IN ORDE
R TO ADDRESS OUR FOOD AND HEALTH
CONCERNS. NOW, WE''RE UPWARDS OF 25
0 MEMBER CONGREGATIONS AND MORE THAN
100 BLACK FARMERS IN OUR DIRECTO
RY AS WELL.
THE MISCONCEPTION THAT THE BLACK
COMMUNITY IS WHOLLY DEFICIENT
WHEN IT COMES TO ADDRESSING HEALTH CHALLENGES AND FOOD
INSECURITY IS A DANGEROUS ONE. BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE SEEN I
S THAT IN THESE SAME COMMUNITIES WH
ERE THERE IS HIGH PREVALENCE OF
DIABETES AND KIDNEY CHALLENGES
AND HEART DISEASE, THERE ARE ALSO THE INGREDIENTS TO HELP
ADDRESS AND OVERCOME THOSE VERY
CHALLENGES. WHAT WE DO HAVE IN BLACK
COMMUNITIES IS RELATIONSHIPS,
HERITAGE, HISTORY, AND YES, FAITH INSTITUTIONS, MANY OF
WHICH HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 100-PLUS YEARS, THAT CAN SERVE
AS A STABLE BEDROCK AND FOUNDATION FOR THE CO-CREATI
ON OF A MORE JUST, ETHICAL FOOD
SYSTEM THAT''S BETTER FOR PEOPLE AND THE PLANET.
I AM REVEREND DR. HEBER BROWN III, AND THIS IS MY BRIEF
BUT SPECTACULAR TAKE ON NOURISHI
NG MIND, BODY, AND SOUL THROUGH
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHURCH COMMUNITIES.

A NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE IN MINNESOTA RECENTLY WELCOM
ED HOME FIVE OF ITS ANCESTORS, MORE THAN A CENTURY AFTER T
HEIR REMAINS LEFT THE STATE.
THEIR BURIAL SITES HAD BEEN LOOTED BY A WHITE LANDOWNER
WHO TOOK THEM TO CONNECTICUT. THE REMAINS SAT IN A BASEM
ENT UNTIL STATE OFFICIALS STEPPE
D IN, HOPING TO RIGHT A WRONG.
AS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH COMES TO A CLOSE, REPO
RTER KAOMI LEE OF TWIN CITIES PBS
HAS THE STORY. KAOMI: ON THIS OCTOBER DAY,
DESPITE THE BITTER WIND AND COLD, A HOMECOMING OCCURRED.
SOME 120 YEARS AFTER BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR GRAVES IN
MINNESOTA, FIVE DAKOTA ANCESTORS FINALLY CAME HOME.
DOZENS OF MEMBERS OF THE PRAIRIE
ISLAND INDIAN COMMUNITY GATHERED
AT A BURIAL SITE AN HOUR SOUTH
OF MINNEAPOLIS. IT WAS A SACRED CEREMONY, ON
E WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FILM.
THE ANCESTORS WERE CARRIED DOWN
THE HILL AS DRUMS RANG OUT. A CEREMONIAL FIRE WAS LIT AN
D THEIR REMAINS WERE PLACED ON SCAFFOLDING IN THE OPEN AI
R. THIS LASTED FOUR DAYS, AS IS
CUSTOM, UNTIL THEIR FINAL BURIAL.
>> IT''S A FEELING OF EXCITEMENT
FOR MANY. KAOMI: FRANKY JACKSON IS WIT
H THE TRIBE''S HISTORIC
PRESERVATION OFFICE AND WAS ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS.
>> WHAT
IT ALLOWS THEM TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND
PUT TOGETHER THIS BURIAL PRACTIC
E TO WELCOME RELATIVES BACK.
>> IT''S AN UNUSUAL STORY. THERE AREN''T MANY INS
TANCES WHERE HUMAN REMAINS THAT WER
E EXCAVATED IN THE 19TH CENTUR
Y HAVE SURVIVED THIS LONG.
KAOMI: HISTORIAN PAUL MARAVELAS RESEARCHES THE AREA WHER
E THE ANCESTORS ORIGINALLY WERE
BURIED, LAKE MINNETONKA, ON THE
WESTERN OUTSKIRTS OF MINNEAPOLIS.
>> LAKE MINNETONKA HAS A HEAVY CONCENTRATION OF MOUNDS.
SOME ARCHAEOLOGISTS CLAIM THAT
IT''S ONE OF THE MOST DENSE AREAS OF MOUND-BUILDING
IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
KAOMI: IN 1875, AN ATTORNEY FROM
CONNECTICUT NAMED CARRINGTON PHELPS ACQUIRED AN ENTIRE IS
LAND ON LAKE MINNETONKA.
HE RENAMED IT PHELPS ISLAND AND
BUILT A LODGE. IT WAS ALSO HOME TO TWO NATI
VE AMERICAN BURIAL MOUND GROUPS
. THE LAKE WAS CONSIDERED SACR
ED TO THE DAKOTA AND OTHER TRIB
ES WHO USED IT AS THEIR FINAL
RESTING PLACE. >> ALMOST 500 MOUNDS AT LAKE
MINNETONKA THAT WERE COUNTED AND
MAPPED IN THE LATE 1880''S.
MOST OF THESE WERE EXCAVATED AT
LAKE MINNETONKA BY 1890. THERE WASN''T A SENSE THEY S
HOULD HAVE BEEN PRESERVED AS WE THINK WE TODAY.
KAOMI: AND WERE THEY NOVELTIES,
SOUVENIRS, PEOPLE GRAVE DIGGING?
>> ABSOLUTELY. KAOMI: IN 1902, PHELPS LOST
OWNERSHIP OF THE ISLAND. HE HAD ALREADY MOVED BACK TO
COLEBROOK, CONNECTICUT A FEW YEARS EARLIER. IT
''S BELIEVED HE TOOK WITH HIM NATIVE ANCESTORS WHO WERE BU
RIED ON THE ISLAND.
THEIR REMAINS WERE GIVEN TO THE
COLEBROOK HISTORICAL SOCIETY A DECADE AGO WHEN HIS DESCEN
DANTS SOLD THE HOUSE. ACCORDING TO THE COLEBROOK
HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THE FAMILY
MADE NO EFFORT TO HIDE THE FACT
THAT HE BROUGHT THE BONES BACK
AFTER HE DESTROYED THE MOUND.
OVER THE YEARS, THEY SHOWED THEM
TO PEOPLE AS IF THEY WERE SOUVENIRS.
THEY EVENTUALLY MADE THEIR WAY
TO THE CONNECTICUT STATE ARCHAEOLOGY OFFICE.
THAT AGENCY COMPLIED WITH A FEDERAL LAW CALLED THE NATIV
E AMERICAN GRAVES PROTECTION AND
REPATRIATION ACT. IT REQUIRES INSTITUTIONS THA
T ARE FEDERALLY FUNDED OR LOCA
TED ON FEDERAL LAND TO IDENTIFY
AND RETURN INDIGENOUS ANCESTRAL
REMAINS AND OBJECTS TO THE NATIVE NATIONS TO WHICH THEY
BELONG. BUT 33 YEARS AFTER IT BECAME
LAW, ANTHROPOLOGISTS LIKE CARLTON SHIELD CHIEF GOVER S
AYS COMPLIANCE IS FALLING SHORT.
>> MUSEUMS HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF
THAT HAS REMAINED UNANALYZED,
UNSTUDIED, SINCE IT WAS
RECOVERED IN THE
1930''S AND
1940''S AND NO ONE''S TOUCHED IT SINCE.
WE STILL HAVE SO MUCH THAT''S REMAINED UNANALYZED.
KAOMI: A PROPUBLICA INVESTIGATION THIS YEAR FOUN
D THAT A HANDFUL OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING
PRESTIGIOUS MUSEUMS AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, STILL H
AD NOT REPATRIATED LARGE NUMBERS OF NATIVE AMERICAN ANCEST
ORS. THE LAW DOESN''T ADDRESS
NATIVE REMAINS IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS,
AS WAS THE CASE WITH THESE ANCESTORS.
THAT HELPS EXPLAIN WHY IT TOOK
SO LONG TO RETURN THEM TO MINNESOTA.
>> THE RELATIVES THAT ARE COMING
BACK NOW, THAT''S ONE EXAMPLE OF THE TRIBES WORKING C
OLLECTIVELY TO RECONCILE RELATIVES OUTSI
DE OF MINNESOTA.
KAOMI: FRANKY JACKSON SAYS BRINGING HOME THEIR ANCESTOR
S HAS BEEN REWARDING AND WORTH
THE EFFORT.
>> TO PLAY JUST A SMALL ROLE IN
THAT IS INCREDIBLY REWARDING
AND SATISFYING, BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY FOR THOSE WHO RESIDE
HERE IN MINNESOTA, IT IS ONE OF
THOSE ULTIMATE ACTS OF SOVEREIGNTY TO RECLAIM OUR
RELATIVES IN THIS WAY. KAOMI: FOR THE "PBS NEWSHOUR

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN
THE ONE
RIGHT BEFORE
THIS, SOUTHERN
VISTAS. WE
HAD SO MUCH
GREAT VIEWER
COMMENTS FROM
THA T
PROGRAM. ROBIN
FROM VIROQUA
SAID THIS KIND
OF PROGRAM CONNECTS
PEOPLE TO THE
BEAUTY AND
NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUR
STATE. IT
PROMOTES DESTINATIONS
OR OUTDOOR
RECREATION AND
ENCOURAGES GREATER PRIDE
AND STEWARDSHIP
TO PRESERVE
THOSE TREASURES. THIS
IS WHAT
IT'S ABOUT. THIS
IS WHAT PBS
WISCONSIN DOES
SO WELL.
IT CONNECTS
US TO
OUR WORLD.
PBS WISCONSIN,
THE WORLD
IS A
BETTER PLACE
WITH PBS WISCONSIN
AND PBS WISCONSIN
IS A BETTER
PLACE WHEN YOU'RE IN
IT.
U CAN DO
THAT BY
BECOMING A
STAINING MEMBER OF PBS
WISCONSIN. THAT MEANS
EVERY MONTH
YOUR CONTRIBUTION COMES OUT
OF YOUR
CHECKING ACCOUNT OR
YOUR CREDIT
CARD. IT'S SUPER
EASY TO DO.
IT'S SUPER EASY ON
THE BUDGET.
AND MAYBE YOU'R
E ALREADY A
SUSTAINER.
IF YOU
ARE, GO AHEAD
AND GIVE A
COUPLE DOLLARS MORE.
IT FEELS
REALLY GOOD WHEN
YOU DO
AND YOU CAN
MAKE THESE
GREAT PROGRAMS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN DO
THAT BY
CALLING 1-800-236-3636. >>
SO HERE
ARE TWO
IMPORTANT THINGS.
IMPORTANT THING ONE
IS GETTING
OUTSIDE IS
THE BEST
THING Y CAN
POSSIBLY DO. AND WE
KNOW THAT.
AND
ONE OF THE
THINGS THIS
PROGRAM DOES,
I HOPE,
IS ENCOURAGE
YOU, SIT
BACK, BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT
OUTSIDE WATCHING
THIS, AND
SAY I'D
LIKE TO GO THERE.
AND YOU CAN
. THAT'S THE
GREAT THING
ABOUT THIS.
IMPORTANT THING NUMBER
TWO IS
THAT WISCONSIN
-- I
WAS GOING
TO
Y WISCONSIN PUBLIC
TELEVISION. I'M THE
FIRST ONE TO DO
IT IN
THE WORK.
PBS WISCONSIN -- I
USE D T
O WORK
HERE. WHAT CAN I
SAY. PBS
WISCONSIN IS A
PROGRAM THAT IS ALWAYS
GOING TO BE
CARING ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN,
WHAT YOU WANT
TO DO,
WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
ONE OF THE THINGS
I LOV
E ABOUT
THE STATION
IS HERE
YOU CAN
ACTUALLY GO TO
THESE PLACES.
BUT PROGRAMS AROUND THE
WORLD TAKE
YOU T O
PLACES YOU CAN'T
GO TO
OR EVEN
IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN
OPERA, YOU
MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO
GET T O
THE OPERA
, BUT YOU
CAN GET
TO THE
MET WIT
H US.
THIS
IS A TREASURE
ABOUT THI
S BEAUTIFUL STATE.
THE BODY OF
WORK, THE
TOTALITY OF
WORK PRESENTED
HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN IS
SOMETHING PRETTY
EXTRAORDINARY AND WORTH
SUPPORTING AT 1-800-236-3636. >>
IT IS A
PIECE OF
ART .
WE'RE SEEING
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES.
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY
IS GORGE
JUST, THE
MUSIC. YOU CAN
SOAK IT UP
AND IT
LIFTS YOU UP
AND MAKES
YOU FEE
L BETTER.
WE'RE ASKING FOR
YOUR SUPPORT
OF THIS WONDERFUL
PROGRAMMING FROM PBS WISCONSIN.
WHEN YOU MAKE

THINGS THAT

THEY COME AND THEY
GO AND
WE'RE HERE
ALL THE TIM E FOR

PROGRAM IN
FAC T
CAPTURES ALL OF
THAT. BUT BEYOND
THIS PROGRAM,
WHICH
EXTRAORDINARY, THINK
ABOUT ALL THE
TIMES THAT
YOU SIT DOWN
AND
YOU WATCH PUBLIC TELEVISION D
YOU SAY THAT
WAS WORTH
DOING. AND
THINK ABOUT HOW MANY
TIMES YOU
MIGHT NOT SAY
THAT WITH
OTHER TELEVISION. NOT THAT I
DON'T LOVE A
LOT OF
E DRAMAS
ON COMMERCIAL
TELEVISION, BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING
EXTRAORDINARY ABOUT
TELEVISION.

INVESTMENT. WE'RE GOING
TO TALK
TO EMILY JULKA,

PRODUCERS OF
THIS

BIT.
E CAN TELL YOU

BEHIND-THE-SCENES, BUT WHAT
GOES INTO
MAKING SOMETHING
THIS BEAUTIFUL.

TUNED, BECAUSE YOU

HAVE A GREAT
SHOW, BUT

YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU
WATCH A SHOW LIKE
T HIS,
YOU'RE AWARE
OF THE
BEAUTY OF THE
PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE
MUSIC. WE
TALKED ABOUT
THIS. BUT
YOU MAY
NOT THINK
ABOUT ANOTHER CRUCIAL
GROUP OF
PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND THOSE ARE
THE FOLKS
WHO LITERALLY
M AKE
THIS POSSIBLE
BY THEIR
CONTRIBUTIONS.
U ARE
CRITICAL TO
THAT, BUT
THERE'S OTHER
PEOPLE WHO
STEP UP AND
MAKE A CONTRIBUTION THAT
CAN REALLY
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
YOU CAN
SEE SOME
OF THEIR
NAMES HERE.
IF YOU WATCH
THE PROGRAM,
YOU'LL SEE
THEM AS WELL.
IT'S NOT
INCIDENTAL THAT
WE WANT
TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW
WHO THEY ARE
BECAUSE WHAT
THEY'VE DONE
IS SAY
THIS IS
IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT I
WANT TO MAKE
SURE IT
HAPPENS. I WANT
TO MAKE
SURE THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM HAPPENS.
WHEN WE TALK
TO THEM
ABOUT THAT,
THEY SAY THIS IS
IMPORTANT, THIS
MATTERS. EVERYTHING
YOU DO
MATTERS, BUT
THIS PARTICULAR
ONE MATTERS.
AND I THINK
IT'S SOMETHING
WORTH KEEPING IN
MIND, THAT ACROSS
THE STATE THERE ARE
COMMUNITIES, THERE ARE NEIGHBORS, THERE ARE
NEIGHBORHOODS AND INDIVIDUALS AND
COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT
CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT PBS WISCONSIN.
SO TUC
K ALL
THAT AWAY
AND SAY
IS IS AN
IMPORTANT THING.
THIS IS WORTH
IT. THIS
IS SOMETHING
THAT MATTERS
TO THE
COMMUNITY.
MATTERS
TO ME.
AND I'M GOING
TO KEEP
SUPPORTING IT.

PHONE RIGHT NOW
AND NOT
ABLE TO GET

BECAUSE YOUR
CONTRIBUTION, YOUR PLEDGE
WILL STILL COUNT
FOR THI
S CHALLENGE
BREAK. AND
SUPPORTING PBS IS
REALLY I
THINK ONE OF THE
IMPORTANT THINGS YOU
CAN DO
FOR YOUR
COMMUNITY, ONE OF THE
IMPORTANT THINGS YOU
CAN DO FOR
YOUR FAMILY.
IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT,
WHEN YOU PLEDGE,
IN A WAY
YOU COULD BE
PLEDGING FOR A
NEIGHBOR WHO
RIGHT AT
THIS MOMENT DOESN'T
HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO PLEDGE.

>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH.
M A VOLUNTEER
HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN. AND
I JUST
-- THIS
PROGRAM IS
REMARKABLE. IT'S
REALLY STUNNING TO
ME. IN ITS
BEAUTY. IN
THE QUALITY OF
THE IMAGERY.
THE WAY
IT'S EDITED,
TOO, IS
SOMETHING THAT'S
REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
IT'S SO GOOD
THAT YOU
DON'T PAY
ATTENTION TO IT.
THAT IS THE
DEFINITION OF
REALLY GOOD
TECHNIQUE WHEN
YOU'RE WATCHING A PROGRAM.
THAT IT
JUST COVERS
YOU, IT
JUST EMBRACES YOU.
THIS PROGRAM
IS A PROGRAM THAT
DOES THAT SO WELL.
NOW, I CAN'T
SAY IT'S
NOT BECAUSE OF THE
BEAUTIFUL NORTHWOODS.
THAT HAS SOMETHING TO
DO WITH
IT, TOO.
BUT ON THE OTHER H
AND THIS
PROGRAM, WE'VE
DONE SO MANY
PROGRAMS HERE
OF SO MANY
DIFFERENT SCENES
IN WISCONSIN
AND
THEY'VE ALL
BEEN REMARKABLELIKE THIS.
SO IF YOU
THINK ABOUT
IT, THIS IS A
COMMITMENT THAT WE
MAKE TO TO
YOU, TO BE HERE
IN WISCONSIN.
SO GIVE
US A CALL,

WORK. WE'VE

PROGRAM OVER

WAS LOOKING
AT THE
COMMON MILKWEED.
WE DON'T
REALIZE HOW
BEAUTIFUL IT IS. THIS PROGRAM BRINGS
IT ALIVE.
YOU CAN SEE
THAT OVER
AND OVER
AGAIN.
WE ALSO

FORESTS THAT

ALL THE
STATE FORESTS

800-236-3636.>>
HI, FOLKS.
I'M CLINT WALZ. I'M ON
STAFF HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN.
I SHARED A FEW OF
THE RESPONSES
WE RECEIVED
FROM THE
FIRST OF
OUR SCENI
C TREASURES.
THIS IS FROM
KATIE IN
EDGERTON. KATIE SAYS
WE ENJOY
SEEING PLACES
WE HAVEN'T
VISITED YET
AND ADDING
THE M
TO OUR
TO-DO LIST.
OUR 11-YEAR-OLD
SON MADE A
LIST OF
PLACES THAT H
E WANTS
TO VISIT.
IT WAS A LOVELY
WAY TO
SPEND TIME
TOGETHER. THANKS FOR
MAKING AMAZING
PROGRAMMING FOR OUR
FAMILY.
ANK YOU.AND ANK
YOU IF
YOU'VE MADE
YOUR GIFT
OF SUPPORT
TO SUPPORT "WISCONSIN SCENIC TREASURE
S." THERE'S
STILL PLENTY O
F TIME
TO DO THAT.
ONE WAY
IS BY
BECOMING A SUSTAINING MEMBER.
IT'S SUPER
EASY TO
DO.
L YOU HAVE TO DO
IS C L
1-800-236-3636 AND TALK TO ONE
OF OUR
GREAT VOLUNTEERS. >>
SO HERE'S
AN IMPORTANT
THING. I'M WITH
THE MOST
IMPORTANT PERSON IN
THE ROOM.
THIS IS EMILY
JULKA, ONE OF
THE PRODUCERS OF
THI S
PROGRAM. I
WORKED AS A
PRODUCER FOR A
WHILE AND I
CAN TELL
YOU, IT'
S HARD.
AND TO
DO A PROGRAM
THAT'S EXQUISITE
LIKE THIS IS
REALLY HARD, SO
CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. >> SO
YOU GOT A
WHOLE STATE
AND YOU GOT
AN HOUR.
HOW DO YOU
NARROW THAT
DOWN? >> YEAH.
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE
KNEW WE
WANTED TO
NARROW IT DOWN TO
THE NORTHWOODS, WHICH
WAS A LITTLE
BIT OF HELP, AND
FROM THERE W
E START
WITH A SPREAD SHEET,
LIK E
ANY GOOD
PROJECT. WE
HAVE A SPREAD
SHEET AND A
MAP. >> I DIDN'T
HAVE SPREAD
SHEETS. >> AND
THEN WE
LOOK FOR
WHAT MAKES A
LOCATION LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER
ONE. WE
HAD FOUR
SEASONS THIS SHOW,
AND SO THAT WAS
HELPFUL BECAUSE
IT HELPS DISTINGUISH
THE LOCATIONS FROM EACH
OTHER. BUT
LIKE ST. PETER'S DOME
IS THE
HIGHEST POINT IN
THE NICOLET
NATIONAL
FOREST, SO
THAT S
ETS IT
APART. WE
WORKED WITH A
PROJECT ADVISER
FROM THE
DNR AND
HE GAVE A
LOT OF
EXPERTISE. >> THE
PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE FORMED ARE
REALLY CRITICAL
TO THE WORK
THAT'S DONE
HERE, CERTAINLY IN
THIS PROGRAM.
BUT NOT ONLY
IN THIS
PROGRAM. AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT
I REALLY VALUE ABOUT
THIS ORGANIZATION, THAT
IT REACHES
OUT TO
PEOPLE AND
INVITES THEM TO
WORK WITH
US.>>
YEAH. >> YEAH.YEAH.>>
THOSE ARE
SOME OF
MY BEST
MEMORIES ARE
GOING OUT INTO
THE FIELD WITH
THE PEOPLE
FROM THE
DNR,
FROM THE NATURE CON VER
CERTIFICATE VANSY. >>
WE'RE GOING TO
BE BACK,
1-800-236-3636. >> WE'VE HEARD
EMILY TALK ABOUT
THE PRODUCTION OF
THIS PROGRAM
AND IT'S SO
LABOR I NTENSIVE.
IT TAKES A
LOT OF
RESOURCES TO CREATE
THESE PROGRAMS
FOR YOU.
AND EVERY
CONTRIBUTION REALLY
HELPS. WE'RE ASKING
FOR YOURS
RIGHT NOW
AT 1-800-236-3636.
WHEN YOU MAKE A GIFT
OF $10 A
MONTH OR MORE,

BEAUTY OF THE SHOW, BUT WE

TIME AS A TEAM.

GOO D
MEMORIES, EVEN

STARTING WITH UNANIMOUS SYVMENT
SHE'S GREAT. >> SHE
W AS A
MENTOR TO
ME AS
LL.WORKING WITH
HER ON
THESE WAS
ALSO VERY FUN
AND VERY
MEANINGFUL. >> YEAH. ONE OF
THE THINGS
I LOVE
MOS T
ABOUT LORI IS
THAT SHE
IS A COMPLETE
STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
AND YOU
CAN TELL
THAT IN
THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE
DONE BECAUSE YOU DON'T
GET THE
KIND OF
INTEGRITY, THE KIN
D OF QUALITY
AND COMMITMENT
TO INTEGRITY THAT
YOU GET IN
PROGRAMS LIKE
THIS WITHOUT
SOMEBODY WHO
CARES ABOUT
EVERY PIECE OF IT
AND HOW
IT ALL
COMES TOGETHER. I
FEEL REALLY
LUCKY TO HAVE
RKED WITH
HER. SOUNDS
LIKE YOU
DO, TOO. >>
YEAH. >>
LORI, I
HOPE THAT
YOU'RE WATCHING AND I WANT
TO THANK YOU
FOR THE
WONDERFUL WORK
YOU'VE DONE
FOR PBS WISCONSIN. >>
IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
EVENING OF ART
AND BEAUTY
AND ALMOST A
MEDITATIVE FEEL. IF YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN A MEMBER

OR IF
YOU'VE BEEN A
SUSTAINER FOR A
WHILE BUT

MAKE AN INCREASE, THIS
IS A GREAT TIM E
TO DO IT.
