Guest Opinion. The tribal gaming industry has been the most successful economic development in Indian country in my lifetime.

Guest Opinion. Native communities already experience obstacles to voting, from language barriers and lack of polling places on reservations to state laws which do not recognize Tribal identifications or accept reservation addresses that sometimes do not include house numbers or even street names.

Guest Opinion. Executive orders and declared intentions to drastically alter both K-12 and higher education filled President Trump’s first 100 days. From making promises to dismantle the Department of Education to threats to pursue legal action and withhold federal funds from universities that don’t align with the Administration’s mandates, the future of access to higher education for all students, and free speech in academia from curriculum to expressing one’s opinions has brought academic freedom in higher education to a flash point.

Guest Opinion. As we observe the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) National Week of Action, I write to shine a light on this issue and honor the memory of the Native women and girls whose lives have been stolen, and to stand with the families and communities who have carried unimaginable grief for far too long.

Guest Opinion. Protecting Cherokee Nation's sovereignty requires constant vigilance, particularly in ensuring the federal government upholds its solemn trust responsibilities to provide for the health and well-being of our people. Our unique nation-to-nation relationship demands direct engagement, and recently, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate for our communities at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ 27th annual Tribal Budget Consultation.

Guest Opinion. On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order to rename the country’s highest peak. Alaska’s Koyukon Athabascans have called the mountain Denali for centuries. The United States bought Native Alaskans' land from Russia in 1867 while making war with Native tribes for land. In 1917, the federal government renamed it “Mount McKinley” in honor of the 25th president of the United States, William McKinley.

Guest Opinion. This month, we saw President Trump, Elon Musk, and big CEO’s turn the Oval Office into a corporate boardroom from the movie Wolf of Wall Street, all while they celebrated their massive profits for doing absolutely nothing to benefit everyday working people. President Trump even pointed at his millionaire and billionaire friends, yelling out how much money they each made on his tariff scam.
