March 25, 2025
Native American photographer Cara Romero uses her art to spark a conversation about environmental racism and its impact on Indigenous communities. Her latest solo exhibition, Panûpünüwügai (Living Light), currently on display at Dartmouth’s Hood Museum, includes over 60 powerful photographs addressing issues like land loss and the environmental exploitation of tribal lands. Romero’s work blends tradition with environmental development, aiming to open a dialogue about the connection between Indigenous cultures and the fight for environmental justice.
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.
