Every year, before the start of Lent, in hundreds of cities around the world, there is a massive celebration. While the celebrations differ, sometimes dramatically, there are certain elements they all share.

Modern celebrations can often get quite racy, and if you didn’t know it, you’d probably never guess that the origins of the celebration actually have a religious origin.

Learn more about Carnival and Mardi Gras, and how the modern celebrations came to be, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - A lifetime of secrets unfold in ‘Black Cake’

Author Charmaine Wilkerson's new novel, Black Cake, is all about identity; who we are and how we fit into this world. Estranged siblings, Benny and Byron are left a recording by their late mother after she dies. The recording is full of secrets about their family that force Benny and Byron to reevaluate everything about their lives. Wilkerson told NPR's Kelsey Snell that even though Benny and Byron didn't know everything about their mother, she is still their mother who loved them very much, and that's also a part of their identity.

Unsettled - How ANCSA reinforces, and clashes, with subsistence traditions

With guests Pete Schaeffer of the Native Village of Kotzebue and Mike Miller of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, we examine ANCSA's intersection with Indigenous subsistence traditions. With guest host Aaron Leggett, we explore how the natural resource development encouraged by ANCSA can sometimes conflict with subsistence harvests and land stewardship, and other times enhance them.

Unsettled - What about the tribes?

With guest Natasha Singh, an attorney and tribal advocate, we explore the void that ANCSA left when it comes to the role of tribal governments in Alaska. We talk about how Native corporations can sometimes conflict with tribes that represent the same Native people, and the potential for those groups to collaborate more closely in the future.

Unsettled - The generations ANCSA left out

With guest Andrea Gusty of The Kuskokwim Corp., we investigate a polarizing element of the original settlement: how Indigenous Alaskans born after ANCSA's effective date in the 1970s were left out of the governance, and profits, of the Native corporations created by the settlement. With guest host Meghan Sullivan of Indian Country Today.

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/

In 1648, Europe saw the end of two of the most horrific wars that had ever been seen on the continent up until that point.

The treaties which ended these conflicts established an international order which overturned the system which had existed for centuries, and established a new order which in many respects, still exists today.

Learn more about the Peace of Westphalia and how its legacy can still be felt 350 years later, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Splendid and the Vile’ dives deep into Winston Churchill’s year during the blitz

The Russian invasion into Ukraine is a world-altering event that has people fearful. Historically, few leaders have navigated their country through these things like Winston Churchill, the subject of Erik Larson's book The Splendid and the Vile. It focuses on the year when Churchill became prime minister of the UK just before the German blitz. Larson told NPR's Steve Inskeep that he was incredibly popular because even though he was realistic about the toll it would take on the country, "he never indicated even an ounce of doubt as to what the ultimate victory was going to be."
