We debate whether an apology alone suffices or if it requires a commitment to reparative actions, such as increased funding for mental health services and the repatriation of remains.
We also dissect President Biden’...
The 2024 political election, and season is fast coming to an end. We wish it would also be an end to the chaos.

Trump was a resident of New York most of his life, and generated wealth dealing in real estate, among many other business ventures. Trump is an individua...
Our Native youth can lead the way if we show them how, give them the tools to do so, and then get out of the way.
Ever since Hamas attacked Israel, United States Federal Government has sworn to Support Israel’s stance of “it’s right to defend itself by continuing to fund them.

We have been experiencing all forms of it for the past 300 years. In this episode of Native Opin...
