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.

For everyone who cares about transparency in Native affairs: We exist to illuminate tribal government. 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.
