Talks 286 - Neal McCaleb, Native American Public Servant

An interest in the Carlisle Indian Industrial School led The Spaniard to this discussion with Neal McCaleb, a member of the Chickasaw Nation who helps lead its economic development projects. He talks to The Spaniard about experiencing prejudice and serving in multiple positions in Oklahoma state government and as the U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs. He shares his deep knowledge of American Indian boarding schools such as Carlisle—their questionable intent and mixed results that ranged from alienating students from family and neighbors to the innovation of the forward pass in football.   NEW: Student Zoom Session Information: charliespaniard.com/students NEW: Spaniard Training Program Information: charliespaniard.com/training   For more w/ The Spaniard:   Subscribe to The Spaniard Show's email list: https://charliespaniard.com/email Support The Spaniard Show - https://patreon.com/charliespaniard Website/Bookings/Reading List: https://charliespaniard.com Book: https://amzn.to/2QPcf1P Facebook: https://facebook.com/charliespaniard Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliespaniard Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charliespaniard Youtube: https://youtube.com/user/charliespaniard   Subscribe to The Spaniard Show: iTunes - https://apple.co/2kxob7j Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Irpy2px7edqbwiwpil2ab2jq4me Stitcher - https://bit.ly/2qUBRPb OR search "Spaniard Show" on any podcast app
