Guest Opinion. Recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have raised the alarms for Tribes whose citizens are being unjustly detained and questioned. The Trump Administration claims raids target illegal immigrants with criminal histories, however, at least some agents are making judgments based on appearance, including the skin color and language of an individual rather than concrete information about immigration status or criminal record.

Guest Opinion. Every death from cancer is a tragedy. This terrible disease has already taken far too many Cherokees from their loved ones, and it has left many others struggling with difficult symptoms and costly treatments.
