    Episode 16: Uncle Bill Ray, Part Two
    2025/12/28
    Here we are, back for part two of my interview with my Uncle Bill! He’s an enrolled member of The Klamath Tribes who grew up on a historic 160-acre homestead in Estacada, Oregon. He spent time in Germany serving his country in the US Army, has a degree in art education and is a 2x cancer survivor. Uncle Bill was also part of a tribal committee who worked to restore federal recognition to the Klamath tribe. I did something a little different for this episode. We recorded our original interview in November, and then he came by Hungry Bear Studios about a month later to show me some of the various beadwork and other things he has created over the years. I was having as helluva time editing this into the existing footage, so you will notice a lack of captions, the audio is up and down, etc. I am going to be working with a new editing program for the next episode to see if it helps. I was hella frustrated by then end of the process, basically gave up and published it as is.

    In this episode, I sit down with my uncle Bill Ray and record an oral history — a life lived across a lot of different worlds.He’s an enrolled member of The Klamath Tribes who grew up on a historic 160-acre homestead in Estacada, Oregon. He spent time in Germany serving his country in the US Army, has a degree in art education and is a 2x cancer survivor. Uncle Bill was also part of a tribal committee who worked to restore federal recognition to the Klamath tribe. We talk about land, identity, service, education, relationships, and what it’s like to move through all these spaces while staying grounded in who you are.

    Part two! My guest today is my friend Pastor Kenji Nitta. Kenji’s been in ministry for over 25 years — pastoring and walking with people through all kinds of seasons. He’s got a bachelor’s in Social and Behavioral Studies from George Fox, a master’s in Theology and Leadership from Gonzaga, and a chill ass preaching style that makes him easily accessible to us non-churchy types. He loves prayer, people, and a good Bruce Lee quote.Kenji hopped on the pod for a real conversation about faith, mental health, and the pressure to “just pray it away.” We talk healing, mixed identity, cultural silence, and how churches can better support people who are struggling.
