Iron Range: Minnesota Building America
It's hard to underestimate the importance of Minnesota's Iron Range in building America. Iron from the Range is found in everything from the grand structures of the Empire State Building and California's Bay Bridge to the day-to-day tools of life, such as electrical lines and even iron-fortified bread. Learn about the rich history of the Iron Range and its significance to America's history. Produced with the Minnesota Humanities Center.

Longhorn Mountain Documentary
Longhorn is the most sacred of all places to the Kiowa people of Oklahoma and if plans to blowup and mine the mountain for limestone go forward it will soon be destroyed.
The Kiowa are a proud people with some of the most beautiful traditions and honorable ceremonies in Oklahoma. These cultural traditions and ceremonies as well as Kiowa spiritual well-being in general are in jeopardy as the cedar, which is central to their ceremonies and provides spiritual uplift, is unique to this one location.
The Kiowa say God led them to Longhorn Mountain and to use its cedar. They say it possesses a uniquely aromatic fragrance with exceptionally potent healing and purifying properties.
The loss of the mountain would be devastating to Kiowa culture and spirituality as Longhorn Mountain cedar is used in all aspects of Kiowa life. All Kiowa societies, such as the Black Leggings Warrior Society, Ohoma Lodge, and Gourd Dance Societies utilize the smoking of the cedar in their ceremonies. It also plays a prominent role in Kiowa Native American Church services and all night prayer gatherings. Traditional Kiowa households also have it on hand to attend to their daily needs as they have for generations.
The Kiowa have been going to Longhorn since the 1700's. Generations of Kiowa medicine men have gone to Longhorn to pray, conduct vision quests, and gather medicine. Some without heirs to their healing powers are said to have also left their spiritual medicine to the mountain.
The local farmers around the mountain, many of which have lived there for generations since the early 1900's, do not want the rock crushing to begin either as they fear for their livestock's health as limestone dust adversely affects grass and wears down cattle's teeth. The farmers also fear the negative health effects that breathing the dust will have upon them and their children and grandchildren.
None of them want to see the mountain's beauty blighted by having it partially pulverized and hauled away. It is one of last natural mountains left in the area as all around are mountains with huge wind farms or mining operations. The farmers are not happy that it will also reduce their property value. Apparently, the only ones who want the mining or will benefit from it in the area are the ones leasing and mining the land.
The use of explosives on the mountain would also likely destroy a chambered cave with important historical value. The cave is said to have either ancient Kiowa pictographs or petroglyphs on its walls and said to be the place of a unique practice among the Kiowa where men would lure eagles to the cave entrance by placing meat there and then hiding in the cave would grab the eagle by its feet when it landed to get the meat. Thereupon they would pluck a couple tail feathers or so as they needed before releasing them.
Just about one mile to the west of Longhorn is another mountain called Unap, which is being mined for limestone as it has been for several decades now and which some estimate still has another hundred years worth of mining left. So is another limestone quarry really needed right next door on an irreplaceable mountain with supreme spiritual and cultural significance to the Kiowa?
The Stewart Stone Rock Crushing Company of Cushing is scheduled to start mining the western part of the mountain beginning in late summer or early autumn 2013. If this occurs the loss to Kiowa culture will be devastating, a valuable piece of Oklahoma history and beauty will be lost forever, and farmers in the area will be saddened as their health, and grazing land is adversely affected.

CAPITOL REPORT: Balancing Mining and Environmental Interests
The Minnesota Dept. of Natural Resources will face growing challenges balancing the protection of Minnesota's resources with the desire for economic growth. Southeastern Minnesota provides the greatest opportunity for silica sand mining, and DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr talks with Julie about steps the agency is taking to secure the proper balance.
Senator Matt Schmit, DFL-Red Wing, sponsored legislation during the 2013 legislative session that would have imposed a state moratorium on future silica sand mining in Minnesota. In the end, local government's could extend moratoriums for two years, and state agencies were charged with overseeing mining permits. He joins Julie to review the legislation and offer his views on the future of silica sand mining and its impact on Minnesota resources and industry.
In other State Capitol action, the state is creating an online website, to be operational October 1st, 2013, that will aid in the search and purchase of health insurance. Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner James Schowalter provides several answers about the future workings of Minnesota's health exchange, known as MNsure.
Finally, highlights of action this week by the State Capitol Preservation Committee that endorse the first major interior renovation of the State Capitol.
