Emma Stevens, 16, of Eskasoni, N.S., has taken Youtube by storm with her cover of Blackbird by The Beatles. The cover, entirely sung in Mi'kmaq, has received over 380,000 views. Stevens hopes to release a full-length album in her native language some day.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
