KBIC stands strong on tribal sovereignty

January 31, 2025

The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) reassures members following the rescinding of a federal grant and loan pause, vowing to uphold Native rights. The tribe is reviewing federal programs and advocating for continued funding. KBIC’s commitment aligns with Bay Mills Indian Community’s stance on sovereignty and governance.

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.
