Join Native News Online Publisher Levi Rickert tomorrow on Native Bidaské as he interviews Monte Fronk, a tribal citizen of the Red Lake Nation, on his compelling and, at times, tearful testimony. 
 
May 26, 2021, he said, was the worst day of his life. It was the day he was informed his daughter, Nada, 24, had been murdered.
 

Monte "Awan" Fronk is a 35-year Tribal Public Safety responder and spent his entire career for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, one of the 11 federally recognized in Minnesota. During his career, his duties of Tribal Emergency Management broadened into Tribal Community Risk Reduction by implementing culturally competent services and programs to serve all the Tribal Districts and Urban Area of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?

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. 

Right now, your support goes twice as far. Thanks to a generous $35,000 matching fund, every dollar you give during December 2024 will be doubled to protect sovereignty and amplify Native voices.

No paywalls. No corporate owners. Just independent, Indigenous journalism.
