Three North Dakota schools are receiving nearly $1 million through the Indian Children Program to improve education for Native American students, according to KFYR. The program supports development, testing and demonstration projects aimed at strengthening educational outcomes.

Devils Lake Public School District will receive more than $290,000, Turtle Mountain College will receive just over $360,000 and the University of North Dakota will be awarded nearly $300,000. The funding will also assist college students pursuing careers as teachers and administrators.

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.
