It’s easy to be impatient with COVID-19. We want this pandemic over. But the only way out is continued vigilance. The virus needs to have fewer places to spread.
Who is Native?That should be a simple question, right? Not so much. The answers are complicated by history … and generations. So the answers will come tribe by tribe as citizens sit down and debate what's next.
This is a unique moment for tribal nations. There will be more money flowing into tribal governments and enterprises than ever before in history. So how do we make sure that money is well spent … and how do we measure what success looks like?
This might be a moment for a new climate conversation. Jade Begay, who just was appointed to a White House advisory council on environmental justice, says a rethinking could “liberate us” from dependency on fossil fuels and create a space for

Indian Country Today had its 40th anniversary last week. The newspaper has published a lot of history in that time. And one narrative that stands out, the story of founder Tim Giago.
A new film explores the story of John Peabody Harrington. He was an ethnologist and linguist who spent more than fifty years conducting exhaustive research that preserved some 150 languages (including detailed notes with more than 1 million pag
Are the United States and Canada ready to reconcile their national myth with a brutal truth of history? Secretary Deb Haaland’s op-ed in the Washington Post was a first step.
Cartoonists have the talent to take a complicated idea and boil it down to its essence. The best cartoons make us laugh. And then we think. So it’s disheartening when the Pulitzer Prize board cannot reach a conclusion and give its annual award.
