Guest Opinion. Water makes up about 60 percent of a human body (varies by age) and up to 90 percent of some living organisms. The conventional wisdom still holds that you should drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day, but this can come from fruits and other foods with high water content.

Guest Opinion. The Cherokee Nation’s story contains more than our fair share of chapters where we struggled for survival. And yet with the support and sympathy from our allies, we continue to persist. We’ve faced forced removal from ancestral lands, health crises, loss of land and the power to self-govern, as well as a hostile federal government time and again.

Guest Opinion. At a conference last year, I experienced one of those moments when a thought-provoking comment pulls your mind far beyond where you currently are.

Guest Opinion. Pink dolphins, pink elephants and pink unicorns sound like a list of fantasy creatures. Pink dolphins sound like a legendary beast with the mermaids, and they do have legendary status. But they are also real and in serious need of protection or they will be all but gone in 50 years.

Native Vote 2024. Guest Opinion. In the year of the 100th Anniversary of the Snyder Act that granted citizenship to our continent’s first Americans, we have and still face challenges in elections including barriers to participation, gerrymandering to reduce our impact, voter suppression and intimidation, and not recognizing our tribal ID cards at the polls. Still, we can be the change if we register, vote, and vote for candidates who support Indian Country issues.

Guest Opinion. For generations, our Dakota ancestors traveled to Owámniyomni, a sacred place where the raging waters of Ȟaȟa Wakpá (the Mississippi River) cascaded over a 50-foot limestone drop in what is now the heart of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. They came to this site where the physical and spiritual worlds blend for ceremony and to connect with our creator and natural relatives. Dakota women also journeyed to nearby Wíta Wanáǧi (Spirit Island), an island in the mist kicked up from the falling water, to give birth.
