Pastor Duane Fox was honored for over 40 years of service to the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation during a community Easter dinner Wednesday at the Ralph Wells Community Center. Fox, a former police officer and founding member of the White Shield Spirit Riders, received a warbonnet, satin star quilts and an award from MHA Nation Chairman Mark Fox. The event, hosted by Councilman Fred Fox, also featured announcements of new bikes for White Shield students and tribal interest in a potential woolly mammoth project.
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.
