Opinion. During the spring of 2016 as Donald Trump kept winning Republican primaries and it became clear he would be the nominee, a former Ottawa tribal chairman told me at an Indigenous food sovereignty camp that America deserves Donald Trump. He referenced the mistreatment throughout the history of our people. He said America deserves Donald Trump.

Guest Opinion. “Book bans” prevent access to ideas based on content and are thus unconstitutional. Books can "have limited access based on some constitutional exceptions, notably obscenity and pornography can be banned from access by children, for example. Another example is time, place and manner but this would be based only on the hours set for the library to be open, for example, and cannot be based on content.

Native Vote 2024. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure, with military personnel being among the groups at highest risk due to service-related exposure. In the U.S., there are over 16.2 million veterans, of whom 183.000 are Native Americans. Although mesothelioma is one of the rarest forms of cancer, veterans account for around 30% of all diagnosed cases. Native American veterans, in particular, also seem to experience poorer health outcomes and face greater exposure to hazardous conditions.

Guest Opinion. LAS VEGAS — As we enter the month of November and Native American Heritage month, I sit in the MGM Convention Center where the most recent National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Annual Convention was held this past week. When I was working on my first master’s in public administration, I had to teach my professors about tribal sovereignty. Since this time, I have trained over 30 years of annual Michigan Political Leadership Program fellows on Tribal Governance and Sovereignty as a public service over the years while directly representing my people as tribal councilor, vice chair, chair and back to tribal councilor for over 22 years.

Guest Opinion. As we face the unprecedented climate crisis, Indigenous leadership is not merely beneficial; it is indispensable. Indigenous peoples have safeguarded and stewarded our planet’s natural resources for generations, guided by profound respect for the Earth and a duty to protect future generations. Now, more than ever, the world needs the wisdom, resilience, and stewardship that Indigenous leaders uniquely bring. Our survival in this rapidly changing world may well depend on it.
