GREENLAND - An Inuk content creator from Greenland is dispelling myths about the Arctic and the world’s largest island by showcasing what it’s truly like to live there. According to Qupanuk Olsen, host of the educational social media program Q’s Greenland, “There’s even people who don’t know that there are people living in Greenland,.” Olsen claims she experiences the same problem whenever she travels to a new location despite being born and bred in a nation of only about 57,000 people, in reporting from APTN. “[I’ve] been travelling to man...

It is about a real world, and about a real people and – and in Geneva, after 500 years of contact, it was a message about how these people, by no means perfect, but with a sane, healthy vision of existence, guided by concepts of unity and reciprocity, the positive values of non-accumulation of wealth and, most fundamentally, an all-encompassing com...

In what has been an ugly U.S. and Canadian tradition for centuries – a new study published earlier this summer illustrated just how destructive modern agricultural and industrial practices are toward Indigenous communities. Desecrating Native American and First Nation Indigenous land, culture, and practices proved to be a framework for other countries to do the same to Indigenous peoples around the world. According to the journal Science Advances, Indigenous people make up only about 6% of the world’s population, but they are negatively imp...

Although the recreational cannabis vote is not officially binding and requires subsequent legislation, the Tribal Council has already shown its endorsement of the move. This recent decision is a significant leap from the 2021 ruling by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to sanction medical marijuana. T...

IGNACIO, COLORADO - Outside of Ignacio, motorists may view miles and miles of ranch property with herds of cows and horses grazing on the gently rising terrain. A herd of 115 animals appears to be simply another herd of cows from a distance.
