"As the daughter of a hard-working single mother and Native American rights activist father, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan grew up wanting to connect with and help others. She's made a career of doing just that. As a member of the White Earth Nation of Ojibwe, Flanagan has used her platform to highlight Indigenous issues and focus resources on Minnesota communities and constituencies that have been historically underserved."

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.
