North Dakota updates textbooks on Native history


April 16, 2025

North Dakota has partnered with five tribal nations to revise textbooks on Native American history, aiming to replace materials that have been in use for over 30 years. The updated curriculum will be available for the upcoming school year in state-owned schools. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that Native American perspectives are accurately represented in educational resources. The revised textbooks will provide students with a more comprehensive understanding of Native history and culture.

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.
