Guest Opinion. Twenty-three years ago, Congress confronted a hard truth: Indian Country faced systemic financial exclusion — and Native-led solutions were the key to change. At a Senate hearing prompted by The Native American Lending Study, witnesses like Elsie Meeks of First Nations Oweesta Corporation and Roger Boyd of the U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Fund called for a new federal commitment to Native-controlled lenders.

Opinion. Several years ago, I attended a tribal council meeting of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Guest Opinion. Claremore Indian Hospital holds a special place in my heart. I was born in the “old” facility in 1975. My father was born there in 1952. It was built in 1930 and replaced by the “new” facility in 1978. That facility is in deplorable shape and is a shameful reflection of the federal government’s failed priorities and treaty obligations. But there is a bright future thanks to Cherokee Nation.
