In this episode, the IRC team discusses the concept of time in relation to indigenous thought and life. The episode starts with a song by Madeline Charley (Salish) that is generally labeled a Life Song. Recorded in Arlee in 1950, this song is loosely translated as, "expresses a joy or living." In the middle or the song Madeline is translated saying "This is in my heart and I travel all over; my spirit, my life and living." The IRC Team used this song as a catalyst to discuss how time is utilized in a traditional sense and how it has changed as me move into the modernized time. With the past understanding of time diminishing in certain ways, can a traditional sense of time remain situated in today's everchanging world?
The IRC team continues the discussion after listening to a song by Ellen BigSam generally labeled a Glad or Life Song recorded in Arlee, MT in 1950. This song is described as “just a glad song, a happy song," and was apparently sung when a war or hunting party returned to camp. Since it was sung as the members or the party rode their horses around the camp circle, it might best be included in the category of the Parade Songs.

The IRC Team finished their discussion by examining ways to revitalize this the concepts of time into our modern Tribal life.
