We asked and you answered: Who would you want to see play Native Barbie? Native Barbie can be anyone or anything. She is a water protector, model, leader, artist, dancer, teacher, and so much more. All Indigenous women are sacred and beautiful inside and out.
Here are some of your responses to our question on social media.

Tia Wood!! Tatts and all!
Oh we could pick ourselves ? Yesss I definitely would!
I think Jana Schmieding would be awesome!
Either one of my sisters, nieces, or cousins! Us Native women are beautiful!
I'm going to amend it to Indigenous and say Willow Allen.
Many readers suggested Ashley Callingbull, the Cree First Nations Canadian model, actress, and television personality who became the first Canadian and Indigenous woman to win the Mrs. Universe title in 2015.
Many others suggested Quannah Chasinghorse, Hän Gwich'in and Oglala Lakota model and climate protector who has been featured on the cover of Vogue and National Geographic.
Auntie Beachress! I like the concept because we would totally bring the native cultural love of the earth to such a plastic persona. With our indigenous power of humor and laughter
A regular girl from the Rez! our cousins, our aunties that we grew up to love! One who knows her culture and language. And not one who does cultural posts for social media likes and follows!
I have Native Barbie’s that have been gifted to me and I hate all of them cause they’re all put in what’s supposed to be regalia. Can I get a regular Native Barbie in a skoden tee & jeans
@ShaunaBaker all the way.

Help us tell the stories that could save Native languages and food traditions
At a critical moment for Indian Country, Native News Online is embarking on our most ambitious reporting project yet: "Cultivating Culture," a three-year investigation into two forces shaping Native community survival—food sovereignty and language revitalization.
The devastating impact of COVID-19 accelerated the loss of Native elders and with them, irreplaceable cultural knowledge. Yet across tribal communities, innovative leaders are fighting back, reclaiming traditional food systems and breathing new life into Native languages. These aren't just cultural preservation efforts—they're powerful pathways to community health, healing, and resilience.
Our dedicated reporting team will spend three years documenting these stories through on-the-ground reporting in 18 tribal communities, producing over 200 in-depth stories, 18 podcast episodes, and multimedia content that amplifies Indigenous voices. We'll show policymakers, funders, and allies how cultural restoration directly impacts physical and mental wellness while celebrating successful models of sovereignty and self-determination.
This isn't corporate media parachuting into Indian Country for a quick story. This is sustained, relationship-based journalism by Native reporters who understand these communities. It's "Warrior Journalism"—fearless reporting that serves the 5.5 million readers who depend on us for news that mainstream media often ignores.
We need your help right now. While we've secured partial funding, we're still $450,000 short of our three-year budget. Our immediate goal is $25,000 this month to keep this critical work moving forward—funding reporter salaries, travel to remote communities, photography, and the deep reporting these stories deserve.
Every dollar directly supports Indigenous journalists telling Indigenous stories. Whether it's $5 or $50, your contribution ensures these vital narratives of resilience, innovation, and hope don't disappear into silence.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Native languages are being lost at an alarming rate. Food insecurity plagues many tribal communities. But solutions are emerging, and these stories need to be told.
Support independent Native journalism. Fund the stories that matter.
