January 14, 2025
The Association on American Indian Affairs will host the 10th Annual Repatriation Conference from Nov. 14-16 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The conference focuses on the protection and return of Native ancestors, cultural items, and sacred lands. This year's theme, “Past, Present, and Future,” will explore collaborative solutions to repatriation challenges. Tribes, museums, and federal agencies will gather to strengthen relationships and advance Indigenous rights.
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.
