S5-B E3: Modoc Nation

It's a strange thought to think that there are native American tribes that no longer exist due to the cruel treatment the US government had towards native Americans in this country. One of these tribes that were almost completely brought to extinction was the Modoc nation. By the mid-1900s, the tribe had only 30 members left. Gina McGaughey is one of those 30 members and a descendant of one of the Modoc leaders who fought to keep the tribe alive.

Today as our guest, she will tell her story and where the Modoc nation is today. Gina's story is sad and painful, but she tells the story of people who never gave up and came together as a family. Gina has personally asked if any of you who are listening to this episode and have information about the Modoc Nation history, please reach out to them; the website link is below.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
