The Treaty with the Pawnee, 1857, is now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian as part of its “Nation to Nation” exhibition. Installed in partnership with the National Archives, the treaty is one of more than 370 ratified agreements between the U.S. and Native nations. The unveiling included Pawnee Nation leaders and museum director Cynthia Chavez Lamar. Treaties are rotated due to preservation needs.

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.
