Randy Lewis in Moses Coulee (part 4) 

I could listen to this man and Nick for days on end. PLEASE have more content with this tribal elder. If only we could all be so enlightened.

Thank you for taking us townies along and allowing us to hear Randy's wisdom!

Professor Nick, thank you for sharing this 4-part series with Randy Lewis (K'ayaxan) as he visits his homeland and shares his history with you and us. He is my favorite storyteller. I so appreciate that he is willing to share his insights and the importance of this land. As we are all connected, the more we can learn, the more we will appreciate his gifts to us.

Another gem from the Randy and Nick treasure chest. Thank you so very much.

I can feel the pain in Randy's eyes and how emotional he was when he mentioned the "treaty" and how it was not honored. I hope this show in one way or another, opens the eyes of the world about the plight of his people.

Thank you for this precious gift.

Lucky you to be invited into his world! What a store of wisdom…Thanks for bringing us along!

Loved this! Thanks Randy and Nick. If you gentlemen have the time, please continue these interviews. It’s crucial that the Native American perspective on history gets aired.

Although this is part 4 of 4, I hope there will be more videos of Randy sharing his wisdom and stories. THANK YOU again for including us in this!

Another beautiful episode. Randy Lewis you are opening minds and hearts to understanding the Ancestors and your culture.

We watched this one twice already. Thank you for bringing Tandy to us Nick. He’s such an amazing guy. We love his stories about his family. If we could all go back in time and make better choices about our country’s treatment of the Native Americans. Hope we can see more of Randy in the future.

Thank You, Nick, for holding the camera, walking along, out in the coulee, on public lands.

It is so interesting and quite nice to have Randy Lewis explaining and sharing his wisdom. Thank you Nick.

Thanks to both of you, Randy and Nick, Nick and Randy 💌 Take care

I met Randy once and he gave me lomatium. He is so much fun to listen to. He is so knowledgable about his heritage and other regions of the world, is a great storyteller and has a wicked sense of humor. This was a special visit to a place I once roamed. Thank you.

Nick and Randy, thank you for giving us a peek into this ancient culture, one that most of us do not know nothing about. Very cool. Very insightful. Very special. All that plus incredible scenery!!

I’ve enjoyed these four videos so much. I feel like our mutual grandfather is talking to all of us....letting us see into the past. For his past is our past, it seems to me. You both are giving us the “gift of remembering,”as Randy calls it. Thank you. Yes, to a Steamboat Rock episode from the top. And the pipe rock.

When I was a kid in school in Coulee Dam my friends mom would come in and tell us those stories that Randy was talking about.

I must have been spoiled when I watched Bambi, too. Lovely stories, as always, Randy.

Nick, thanks for providing these videos with Randy Lewis as your guide.

I love these 4 conversations with Randy. Thanks so much Nick for sharing these!! I've laughed, I've teared up, and I'm ever more grateful for my life long connection with Washington State, having been born here. Especially through these wonderful stories that reach back to the time before time. These are so precious! I think this is a perfect geology conversation, it embraces the science, structure, history, and processes of the physical world that is the well spring of the unfolding, evolving human story.

Thank you Randy Lewis for sharing your knowledge.

The historical plant knowledge alone is so remarkable! Thanks again for taking us alone.

"Labrawolfle" 😂😂 Besides listening to Randy talking about other stuff, this one really made my day. Randy/ K'ayaxan is not just a great storyteller, he is also a great comedian. Absolutely love this guy's talks!! Thanks Randy/ K'ayaxan!! :) You are a true gift to humanity! So much wisdom. (But now I need to keep on watching..)

When Randy spoke the native name for Steamboat Rock, 'A-ko-osh-tok' (sp), the Closed Captioning said simply (MUSIC). How. Appropriate. Yes. Music. Our day is brighter for listening in on your visual symphony.

Can't wait for more gneiss videos like this one.

Wonderful touching stories and so much knowledge about the environment and history. Thank you for taking us along

Wonderful stories and history! And delightful sense of humor.

Thanks Nick. Your geological outreach for the general public is unique and always fascinating. I love your videos.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Randy. You should definitely have your own show, I know it's not your responsibility to educate ignoramuses but you do a better job than most. A large part of my family were starved and then exiled from their ancestral land to the other side of the world, and that sucks, but on the other hand everyone can forge their own relationship with a new piece of earth. Reciprocation and respect 👍

Randy, thank you for bridging worlds! Nick, thank you for being the respectful conduit!

This man is a treasure.

the time spent working a piece is meditation, it's the souls freeing in art, mind soothing in progress, a future value through creation, respect in just it's existence as one yet many, Randy truth moves the minds vision with story, how you know is how you've been shown, no angle other than knowledge preserved through great great grand father, we share our best with loved ones, knowing that, Nick you shared a window of pricelessness insight of heart, thank you

Thank You! :)

this man is a legend

I had never seen this part of Washington State. Now I know where to look for a new experience.

This trip reminded me of when my Hopi Indian friends from Morenci AZ took me out into the desert one spring, we gathered sage and small branches of dried out mieskeit wood that would be made into buttons.and looked for cholla wood to be gathered for tomato vines, they sang and prayed over all the plants we gathered from, I learned to honor the earth from them.

Thanks Nick & Randy for a great video.

The orange flower that Randy says is beautiful looks like Western Globemalllow. It may not be a human food, but it's loved by ground squirrels. I can't thank Randy and Nick enough for these videos that convey so much meaning to this place and life itself. ❤️

Thank Randy for sharing with us Nick, you too!

Thank you Nick for bringing us this wonderful world Randy has lived in. I am of a similar age to him and lived with the smells and tastes of the 50s and 60s on a farm. But my memories are of wild flower and butterfly Identification not how to use the resources of the natural land. Thank you for this insight.

I have no words for these videos... Randy's rich Baritone and Nick's great Tenor; can you imagine them singing together? 😍🤩

Learned about Tapuiyan Roraima Venezula from Randy. Thank you.

Thank you for your knowledge. Peace.

Thank you gentlemen.

Feeling very privileged and spoiled …randy and you on the road ..VERY COOL ! Thanks so much is not adequate to repay for all this culture freely given with love for mankind .

Excellent!!!

Thanks Nick and Randy! I'll see the Eastern Washington landscape with new eyes from now on!

Randy needs his own channel!

Love mr. Lewis’s accent

Like before watching.

Much love xoxox My people came here in the 1700s Im sorry Im not these people and i have much love for your people 💞We are all people Much love xoxox

thank you Randy and Nick

15:49 What a view! And What Randy says is perfect.

I don't know why I didn't recall this until today during Nick at Home # 4 on the ancient rivers, but I was told about how Grande Coulee looked before the dam by an old man I befriended at the Rapid City, SD, Public Library. He had been a teacher in Washington Public School, and the saddest thing he ever saw was when the Coulee was filled in and covered the dam waters, which must have been similar to the Moses Coulee. Thanks again for this set and all your geology videos. What memories do Randy's people and he have about that?

Get well soon randy

@nick zentner you should do a video on how the mythology lines up with the science. You will be surprised how close they are. Many centuries of knowledge

Randy needs his own channel

Thank-you for sharing this wonderful video Randy & Nick.

moare more!!!!!!!

Good luck to Randy Lewis and all. But I suddenly had a thought. Most (if not all) as far as we know of my family and ancestors have lived on a certain island off the coast of Europe for ten thousand years since the great floods cut us off from the great landmass.

Nick are we going to minor in Cultural Anthropology? I love listening to Randy, this is too cool.

Oral history from a man who lived part of it! What's not to like!

K'ayaxan has a very different view of his domain...so very intruiging..

Orange blooming plant is called globe mallow

10:40 Thems is two stubborn people right there -- both trying to outlive the other just outta spite. "Never underestimate the healing power of hatred."

The orange flower plant at 30 minutes looked like globemallow, but hard to tell on a small screen from far away. Orange is a very rare flower color.

Oops, sorry Randy, I didn’t mean to call you Tandy!!!

The history of the indigenous peoples and the government is truly a blemish that will never be righted.

What road is this?

The only thing preventing these two from being drowned is timing.

Whoa beautiful ending shot….very poignant nick .
