A vital program aimed at increasing Native American representation in STEM fields is in jeopardy due to federal funding cuts. The Cultural and Academic Research Experience (CARE) at Northern Arizona University has served over 100 Indigenous students since 2019, providing research opportunities and support. However, the loss of $150,000 in federal funding following executive orders against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs has forced CARE to scale back, impacting students' future opportunities.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
