NOT FORGOTTEN: Stories of Utah's Dixie
Hosted by Lyman Hafen · EN
There's something profoundly universal about the stories of Utah's Dixie, and anyone who lives here should know those stories intimately. This podcast cuts to the core of the Dixie Spirit by sharing the writings of Lyman Hafen in his own voice, and interviews with men and women who possess the stories and carry the authentic voice of this singular place.
The shoulders we stand on are broad and strong. They are the shoulders of the Southern Paiute, the Latter-day Saint Pioneers and countless others. There is so much about them and this place to be remembered, they are Not Forgotten.
