The Child and Adult Care Food Program is helping Tribal Nations combat food insecurity, which affects 1 in 4 Native Americans. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs have used CACFP for over 30 years, integrating traditional foods like Chinook salmon and huckleberries into meals for children. Leaders urge more tribes to participate, citing the program’s role in nutrition and cultural preservation.
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.
