Indigenous advocacy leads to largest dam removal project in US history

Every fall, Barry McCovey, a member of the Yurok Tribe and director of tribal fisheries, takes his four children salmon fishing on the Klamath River, the second largest river in California.

A strong salmon run normally nets his family 30 or 40 fish. It’s a supply big enough to last them all year: They freeze, smoke and can the salmon to serve either on its own or on sandwiches and crackers.

Native American Mascots Could Be Banned in Historic First

Massachusetts legislators are debating a pair of bills that would effectively ban Native American mascots and symbolism in public high schools.

State Senator Joanne Comerford and state Representative Brandy Fluker Oakley proposed the bills in February to eliminate Native American high school mascots statewide in addition to banning logos, mascots and team names that "denigrate...any racial, ethnic, gender, or religious group." It is the third such attempt to make the changing of mascots a statewide issue, dating to the 2019-2020 legislative session.

Was there really a sudden Native American population boom?

Forget about Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon”: We’re pretty sure the most anticipated debut related to Native Americans this year is a much-delayed and much-less-snappily named release from the U.S. Census Bureau known as Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A.

Stitt taps Wes Nofire as Native American Affairs liaison

OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday announced the appointment of Wes Nofire to serve as his new Oklahoma Native American Liaison. Brian Bingman recently announced he is stepping down as Stitt’s Secretary of State and Native American Affairs to run for Corporation Commission. “Wes brings a deep familiarity with tribal governments and people across Oklahoma,” Stitt said. “His work for the Cherokee government makes him an ideal choice as we build bridges between my office and tribal governments. “Throughout his career, Wes has advocated for fairness for all...

Native nations on front lines of climate change share knowledge and find support at intensive camps

Jeanette Kiokun, the tribal clerk for the Qutekcak Native Tribe in Alaska, doesn’t immediately recognize the shriveled, brown plant she finds on the shore of the Salish Sea or others that were sunburned during the long, hot summer. But a fellow student at a weeklong tribal climate camp does.

They are rosehips, traditionally used in teas and baths by the Skokomish Indian Tribe in Washington state and other tribes.

“It’s getting too hot, too quick,” Alisa Smith Woodruff, a member of the Skokomish tribe, said of the sun-damaged plant.

Bring back the Washington Redskins, Native American group says

A couple of years ago, at the height of Peak Wokesterism, virtue-signallers insisted that the Washington-based professional football team, the Washington Redskins, change their name, claiming it was offensive to Native Americans. Turns out the wokesters didn't seem to know much about what Native Americans thought of this, and apparently none of them asked. Now a Native American group has decided to speak up. According to the New York Post: The name of the football team playing in Washington D.C. is once again under question. A group called the Native...

Native American group touts 'overwhelming' support to return Redskins name to NFL

A Native American group demanding the Washington Commanders bring back its "Redskins" name says they have received a "tidal wave" of support in their fight against the NFL team. The Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) petition to "put an end to cancel culture and #ReclaimTheName ‘Redskins’" is nearing 100,000 signatures as the NFL season approaches. "The deep, rich history behind the name, the myth that it means bloody scalps or something derogatory is what we're trying to dispel," NAGA adviser and Kiowa Tribe member Billy Dieckman told "Fox & Friends...

Native American group demands Commanders reinstate ‘Redskins’ name

The name of the football team playing in Washington D.C. is once again under question.

A group called the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) is demanding the Washington Commanders change their name back to the Redskins, organizing support for the name reversal with a petition that has gained more than 90,000 signatures.

“We invite all Americans to stand up for the dignity of EVERY AMERICAN under assault in today’s increasingly nonsensical culture wars,” the petition says.

Native American Group Want Commanders To Restore Redskins Name

The Native American Guardians Association is calling for the Washington Commanders to restore their previous Redskins nickname. A petition garnered over 97,000 signatures as they bid to “stand up for the dignity of every American under assault in today’s nonsensical culture wars." Calls for the name change came after owner Dan Snyder sold the franchise for $6.05 billion. Snyder bought the then-Redskins for $800 million in May 1999 and the team made six playoff appearances under his tutelage.

Native American organization wants ‘Redskins’ name to return

(NewsNation) — A group of Native Americans is calling on the Washington Commanders football team to revert to its old “Redskins” name. The team changed its name in 2020 after complaints “Redskins” was offensive to Native Americans. The squad first became the Washington Football Team before changing to the Commanders in 2022, but now, the Native American Guardians Association wants to see a return to the old name. The group has created an online petition that advocates for a return to the name as a way to honor Native American...
