A new podcast series, "Healing Women Heals Mother Earth," focuses on Indigenous women leaders in environmental justice. Hosted by Santana Rabang, a member of Lummi, Nooksack, and First Nations Shxwhá:y Village, the series features women advocating for environmental protection, with an emphasis on self-care and mental health. The series highlights stories from grassroots leaders, like Alyssa Macy and Vanessa Castle, who are working on key projects such as dam removals and salmon restoration.
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.
