Guest Opinion. Donald Trump is out of his closet. He is openly campaigning to revive the vile R-word by pressuring professional sports team owners and the District of Columbia government to take a ginormous step back into bigotry. This comes just as the Commanders are playing like champions, without carrying that burden of shameful history.

Guest Opinion. For the first time in Cherokee Nation history, the tribe is looking ahead with a new plan for its policing and public safety with a Five-Year Strategic Plan for the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service.

Guest Opinion. We know the news media and now, social media influencers, don’t intentionally give positive free “advertising,” and it is often very hard to have positive outcomes from remarkably ignorant and dangerous comments. But this week tribal colleges and universities and Native students received a bit of free advertising after a Fox News commentator made a genocidal remark on her social media account (in response to a college professor’s presentation about Native sovereignty) that “we didn’t kill enough Indians.” That remark unwittingly underscored the importance of tribal colleges and universities.

Scholars estimate between 4 million and 18 million Indigenous people perished during this period. By 1900, the Native American population in what is now the United States had fallen to approximately 237,000.
