Thinking about skiing at Snowbowl? Might want to think again. Listen to this series to learn more about why you may want to think twice before spending time there…This episode is part of a series focused on sharing more about the CRISIS that is Snowbowl Ski Resort (outside of Flagstaff, Arizona) and the agencies that are supposed to hold them accountable. EPISODE 6:In this episode, we have a conversation with Cora Maxx-Phillips. Cora has been involved in the defense of the peaks for her whole life. Through this time, she has come to recognize that one of the foundations of the issue surrounding the peaks is the lack of understanding regarding what sacred means. Through this episode, we explore what it means to be sacred from her cultural lens, are reminded of the interconnected nature of the world, and are offered powerful examples to reflect on the differences between Western culture and Indigenous ways of being.To learn more and stay connected follow us on social media @Protectgrandcanyon and wherever you listen to podcasts.
