Dear Buffalo’s Fire Community,
As we close the chapter on this year and look toward 2025, we’re reflecting not only on the stories we’ve told but on the stories waiting to be shared. Your voices – your experiences, questions, and concerns – are the heartbeat of Buffalo’s Fire.
Our commitment to independent Native journalism is rooted in serving our communities with reporting that matters. In 2025, we will be covering pressing issues like Missing and Murdered Indigenous People and data sovereignty, but we know there is so much more to be said, and no one knows your community’s needs better than you do.
What stories do you want to see covered in 2025?
As we plan for the year ahead, we invite you to share your thoughts. What topics deserve more attention? Whose voices should we amplify? Your input will help shape our coverage and keep Buffalo’s Fire focused on the stories that matter most.
And if you believe in the work we’re doing, we ask for your support. Every donation helps us stay independent and focused on the stories that matter most.
💬 Share your story ideas – and if you can, make a gift to keep this fire burning. [ Donate Now ]
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your voice and support are the foundation of everything we do.
