Daniela Aki thanks supporters following networking event by The Study ND
Daniela Aki met with community members to discuss the mission, values and work that Buffalo's Fire provides the Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln area and beyond
Community Connections, Thank You
A big thank you to The Study ND, the Kennedy Center and all the attendees that came to learn about Buffalo’s Fire and the Indigenous Media Freedom Alliance. I connected with supporters, new faces and leaders in other nonprofit organizations doing impactful work in our community.
I highlighted our new Smoke Signals page on the Buffalo’s Fire website, our new flyers board and the reason news through an Indigenous lens is necessary in the Bis/Man/Lincoln area. Together we learned that Buffalo’s Fire drives connection through information gathering and sharing in our community. Attendees asked insightful questions, among them, “What can we do next?”
I happily say sign up for our free weekly newsletter by going to our website. Consider sharing who we are with your friends and family. And, if you’re able to donate, please do! Your support helps us tread today’s uncertain waters of public media, and we are grateful to our community members that set aside resources to support our work.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
