Montana Native American Caucus focuses on key issues


January 30, 2025

The Montana Native American Caucus is addressing key issues, including revising the Montana Indian Child Welfare Act to ensure Native children in foster care stay connected to their tribes' culture. Additionally, the caucus is working to strengthen the Indian Education for All program and preserve Native languages in schools. Senator Jonathan Windy Boy emphasized the need for Native language curriculum and legislative support for cultural education.

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.
