Guest Opinion. As a Karuk Tribal member from the Klamath River, my heart goes out to everyone in Southern California who has been displaced or devastated by the recent wildfires. Our communities know this pain all too well—we, too, have seen homes reduced to ash and sacred lands scorched by wildfires. Fire, which can be a source of renewal, has become a destructive force, intensified by years of mismanagement, climate change, and systemic disregard for Indigenous knowledge.

Opinion. During the White House Tribal Nations Summit on December 9, 2024, multiple cabinet members praised Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) for her advocacy of tribal issues at cabinet and high-level meetings. As the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, Haaland has been a powerful advocate for Indian Country, bringing tribal nations’ concerns to the highest levels of government.

Guest Opinion. As Indian Country welcomes in 2025 and the beginning of another massive change in political leadership in Washington, D.C., tribes must better position themselves for the rebuilding of the United States’ depleted infrastructure, while also positioning themselves to gain the economic benefits from developing their enormous amount of natural resources. This is especially true in the primary economic sector of hydrocarbon and industrial mineral resource drilling and mining operations.

Opinion. Today, we remember the one hundred and thirty-three winters ago, on December 29, 1890, when innocent Lakota men, women, and children were massacred by the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment near Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Some estimates place the death toll close to 300, underscoring the horrific scale of this tragedy.

Guest Opinion. With the stroke of a pen, President Biden holds the power to release Leonard Peltier and begin a meaningful act of reconciliation. Granting clemency to Peltier, in line with the legal precedent set by the 1891 case of Plenty Horses, would not only serve justice but also underscore President Biden's apology to Indian Country.
