Peter Jemison has been a leading voice in successfully advocating for Native rights around issues of repatriation of sacred objects, cultural patrimony, and the human remains of the Haudenosaunee.

Leonard Peltier has served more than 46 years in a federal maximum security prison for the deaths of two FBI agents in the 1970s. Ruth Buffalo had the rare chance of visiting in-person with Peltier.

A new novel focuses on true events for Muscogee-Creek citizens in the Tulsa area in the 1920s. J.D. Colbert wrote “Between Two Fires – The Creek Murders and the Birth of the Oil Capital of the World.”

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland visited Phoenix as part of her Road to Healing tour. She listened to boarding school survivors and their descendants share their stories. ICT’s Pacey Smith-Garcia has more.

 A slice of our Indigenous world:

  • In Massachusetts, one of the largest academic institutions in the country has completed the repatriation of one tribal nation’s ancestral remains.
  • After two decades, an Indigenous entrepreneur in Canada is now the proud owner of two airlines. APTN’s Tina House has the story.
  • Inclusive and Native-driven artistic projects are receiving grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
  • The National Lacrosse League is kicking off another initiative to increase awareness of Native boarding schools and their history.
