Hastiin Tadidiin (Diné) was murdered in the winter of 1916. Federal agents found him inside his hogan, about 10 miles northeast of Kaibeto, Navajo Nation, Arizona, when they came to round up his children and forcibly transport them to a nearby federally funded boarding school. His family estimates that he was in his 70s when he was shot with at least 10 bullets. Records and family history reveal that he died trying to protect two of his children, at least one of whom, a daughter, was taken away after his death and placed in boarding school....
Continued from last week So, this young woman is expecting. And so they had again, a big feast kind of before they sent her out of this world. And they had made her new clothes. And they had provided her with some pouches with some dried food – some meat and fruit. And they had also sent some seeds with der as well. And also some musical instruments from the Sky World they were sending with her. Just in case she had found some place she could grow them, she was sent with those seeds, as well. And they say she went for one last walk through t...
As of February 12th, New York State officials made the decision to end COVID-19 masking requirements in health care facilities.

New York adult care facilities are recommended to follow CDC’s c...

A running meme was, 'What in the Native Super Bowl is going on here?... We had Chiefs and Eagles playing against each other... while a pregnant Auntie preformed at the half time show." Indeed, the Superbowl was Indigenized. On a more serious note, one of biggest games in American sports took place this past Sunday on native land and the Phoenix metropolitan area held all sorts of festivities celebrating and building up to the game that took place in State Farm Stadium on Sunday between the...
New York State has been experiencing reduced school enrollment for about a decade. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated that trend and according to a report by Education Trust New York, the state now leads the country in enrollment reduction between 2019–20 and 2021–22.

By Anonymous There is a saying in Peru, if you’re born poor, you die poor. This saying applies to the rural Indigenous Peruvians where hopelessness abounds and equality of opportunity is nonexistent. You work to survive and hopefully provide for your family. Last night, I was in the streets again observing the mass protests by Indigenous people. Rather than abating, the protests are gathering steam as the number of protestors swell. More University students and professors are joining in along with former military and busloads of rural I...

By Isaac White. A report from the Pentagon has revealed a dramatic rise in UFO sightings across the U.S. After more than a year of focusing attention on unidentified flying objects that military pilots have seen but sometimes been hesitant to report due to fears of being labeled as crazy, The United States Department of Defense established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in July 2022 to track unidentified objects underwater or in space. That covers a really fascinating topic: things that can transition across different domains....

By Isaac White. So, I decided to watch a movie for this week’s edition of Entertainment Binge. You People is a Netflix comedy that was recently added to the lineup. I’ve read quite a few reviews for the film, and to be honest, they’re mostly negative. This critic disagrees in a big way, and I’ll explain further. The movie’s basic plot has been explored before in the last 25 years. Two people of different races meet, fall in love, and find the divide between their cultural differences too difficult to overcome, but this finally results i...
