PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION

Robert "RJ" Kills Enemy, Jr., 23, and Vincent Steve Little Dog, 25, are still missing.

Completely heartbreaking and every parents worst nightmare. These two beautiful young men are loved so much. It is beautiful to see the community come together. We even have relatives from other tribes coming to search with drones and specialized equipment, but it is such a vast rugged area, we need more help. Anyone who seen the men or knows where they might be should call police at 605-867-5141. People interested in volunteering should call the OST police or emergency management at 605-867-5011. Volunteers should dress for cold weather and bring ATVs/UTVs or horses if they have them.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?

Our mission draws from the warrior spirit that has sustained Indigenous peoples for generations — the same spirit that drives us to stand guard over tribal rights through relentless investigation and fearless reporting. 

Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.

Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.

Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
