June 9, 2025
The works of the National Congress of American Indians 2025 are officially open at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Buffalo’s Fire and the Indigenous Media Freedom Alliance are on the ground, ready to cover the event. Among the core discussions on the opening day: efforts to address violence against Native women, strategies to close tribal finance data gaps through intertribal cooperation and priorities in Native education policy.
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.
