Guest Opinion. As a tribal leader, I deeply understand the significance of sovereignty, culture, and history to Native nations. November, designated as Native American Heritage Month, is a time to honor these values and reflect on the resilience of federally recognized tribes that have tirelessly fought to protect their identities. It is also an opportunity to stand firm against efforts that threaten these principles through political maneuvering and financial incentives.

Guest Opinion. How do we determine who is Native American? The mainstream media has over the years reported on this question relative to the false claims of non-profit leaders, for-profit entities, and university professors. But the fraud persists and the answer to that existential question remains unanswered. That answer is vital not only to combatting the phenomenon of ethnic fraud—i.e. non-Indians claiming to be Native American—but accepting legitimate Native Americans who live in ethnic purgatory due to colonial Tribal enrollment and dislocation practices.
