Guest Opinion. How do we determine who is Native American? The mainstream media has over the years reported on this question relative to the false claims of non-profit leaders, for-profit entities, and university professors. But the fraud persists and the answer to that existential question remains unanswered. That answer is vital not only to combatting the phenomenon of ethnic fraud—i.e. non-Indians claiming to be Native American—but accepting legitimate Native Americans who live in ethnic purgatory due to colonial Tribal enrollment and dislocation practices.

Opinion. During the spring of 2016 as Donald Trump kept winning Republican primaries and it became clear he would be the nominee, a former Ottawa tribal chairman told me at an Indigenous food sovereignty camp that America deserves Donald Trump.

Guest Opinion. “Book bans” prevent access to ideas based on content and are thus unconstitutional. Books can "have limited access based on some constitutional exceptions, notably obscenity and pornography can be banned from access by children, for example. Another example is time, place and manner but this would be based only on the hours set for the library to be open, for example, and cannot be based on content.

Native Vote 2024. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure, with military personnel being among the groups at highest risk due to service-related exposure. In the U.S., there are over 16.2 million veterans, of whom 183.000 are Native Americans. Although mesothelioma is one of the rarest forms of cancer, veterans account for around 30% of all diagnosed cases. Native American veterans, in particular, also seem to experience poorer health outcomes and face greater exposure to hazardous conditions.
