North Dakota updates Native American textbooks with tribal input
October 8, 2025
Education leaders in North Dakota are completing an updated series of Native American history books for schools, according to KXNET. As Buffalo’s Fire previously reported, the project revises four textbooks first published between the 1990s and 2002 and adds a fifth volume featuring the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate. United Tribes Technical College will print the books this fall for distribution to schools, libraries and tribal colleges across the state.

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.
