Tribal Traditions and Natural Resource Management

Austin Smith is a USMC veteran and is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. He is the natural and cultural resources manager of the 640,000 acre Warm Springs Indian Reservation. In this episode we talk about tribal warrior culture and history, the treaty hunting rights of tribal members, and the natural resources and wildlife management strategies and challenges on and off the reservation. I learned a lot during this fascinating conversation— you’ve never heard a podcast like this one before.
