In honor of National Family Literacy Month, Brad and Quin take a trip to Green Feather Book Company in Norman, Oklahoma. Owned by Chickasaw citizen Heather Hall, Green Feather features books of all genres for every reader, including a variety of First American stories. "We really focus on native authors and making sure that we have them represented in all of our sections," Heather says. From mystery to romance to suspense and more, Heather curates her selection to ensure native voices are heard. "[Reading] allows us to connect with our ancestors, to connect with the stories that have been told for generations." To learn more about Green Feather Book Company, visit GreenFeatherBooks.com or stop by the store in person.

November is also Native American Heritage Month! At the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma, visitors have the opportunity to celebrate the rich history and culture of the Chickasaw Nation by exploring the natural outdoor spaces, interactive exhibits, galleries and more. To plan your visit, head to ChickasawCulturalCenter.com.

Te Ata, also known as Mary Thompson Fisher, has been posthumously inducted into the National Native American Hall of Fame. In her decades-long career as an actor and storyteller, Chickasaw citizen Te Ata traveled the world performing for leaders including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Queen Elizabeth II. The National Native American Hall of Fame can be found at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, and interested visitors can learn more about the exhibit at Famok.org.

To close the episode, Chickasaw Elizabeth Isaly is getting ready to run the New York City Marathon. As part of her preparation for the race, she is fundraising for the non-profit Rise Above, a Seattle-based charity that empowers Native American youth to lead healthy lives through sports and educational programming. Elizabeth has been training for the race for several months, but she still says that she "definitely will have to lean on my Chickasaw spirit to get through the 26.2" miles!
