Guest Opinion. Imagine watching the place you’ve called home for decades suddenly and forcibly stripped away by a system meant to protect your rights. For dozens of Indigenous people in Deming, Washington, this nightmare is their new reality—a human rights calamity so egregious that the United Nations and Seattle Times Editorial Board are calling for U.S. government intervention.

Guest Opinion. Throughout history, Cherokee Nation leaders have placed a premium on intellect and resourcefulness. This legacy has empowered our people to rise from adversity and emerge stronger. Even as we faced severe persecution leading up to the Trail of Tears, Cherokees learned to read and write at levels higher than our non-Indian neighbors. We used literacy and education to preserve our culture and advocate for ourselves in the law and public opinion.

Guest Opinion. Orange commands attention. It makes us stop, take notice, and tread carefully. Think of road cones warning of danger and construction workers' bright shirts saying, "See me. Don’t hurt me." Their vibrant hue ensures safety in hazardous environments as they do hard, sweaty work. Yet, orange transcends its role as a safety color. It is a beacon of deeper meanings, especially for Indigenous communities.

Guest Opinion.Cherokee Nation’s car tag compact with the state of Oklahoma has been by all reasonable accounts a huge success. The agreement has enabled the Cherokee Nation to issue vehicle tags to our citizens across the state, collect the revenue, and share it with local governments and schools. Since 2002, this compact has generated $258 million in funding for vital services like public schools, roads and law enforcement for all Oklahomans — Cherokee and non-Cherokee alike.

Guest Opinion. When Congress passed the TikTok ban legislation in April, it did so without consulting any tribal representatives. On Monday, the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments in the case that will determine the ban’s fate. The court should strike down this overbroad and unconstitutional ban for many reasons, including the Government’s abject failure to consult with tribes.

Guest Opinion. As a retired chairman of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of our people as we have fought to protect our lands, our sovereignty, and our way of life. Today we stand at a critical crossroads - The Project 2025 Plan and Agenda, a conservative blueprint developed by The Heritage Foundation and other aligned groups, poses a threat to everything we have fought for. It seeks to roll back decades of progress in safeguarding our rights, our lands, and the keystone cultural species and sacred places that are integral to our identity and first peoples of Nevada.
