Guest Opinion. In the first years of any child’s life, parents should be able to focus on loving and nurturing them. They should never have to worry about getting enough healthy food. Fortunately, for a majority of mothers and young children across the country, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is a lifeline. This federal program provides nutrition education, food, baby formula, breastfeeding support and other essential help for pregnant and postpartum mothers, infants and children up to 5 years old.

Special to Native News Online. Sault Ste. Marie Tribe Reservation — Indian Country is full of heroes and sheroes who have dedicated their lives to advocating for our people.  It is what we do to honor our ancestors and provide for future generations.  Recognizing our individual responsibility to our Gawin Na Min Da Min Da (all of our relatives including our ancestors) is the mark of a true leader.

When you pray with the water, she responds if you listen, she speaks up!

Haaland decision upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The ruling was a triumph for tribes and, more importantly, for the health and safety of Native American children.

Opinion. Last Thursday will be one of those memorable days for many Native Americans, myself included. It was similar to those days when you remember exactly where you were the moment when something monumental happened — when the Challenger spacecraft exploded shortly after takeoff, for example, or, for some of us elders, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
