President Donald Trump revoked a 2023 executive order that expanded tribal sovereignty and increased Native American access to federal funding. The order, signed by President Joe Biden, aimed to streamline funding for tribal projects, including emergency response, broadband, and environmental initiatives. The impact of Trump’s decision remains unclear, but tribal leaders are monitoring the situation. The revocation was part of a broader rollback of Biden-era policies.
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.
