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.

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.

It is through this act of giving that we strengthen the bonds of K'é (kinship) and weave the fabric of Hózhó (harmony) within our communities.
