The board of governors has chosen a baffling route out of a controversy over Civil War memorials.

The absence of Native perspectives in American history books and classrooms has been remarked on for over 50 years. Will it ever change?

Dragging their feet on VAWA, the GOP proved again that protecting women and honoring tribal sovereignty aren't priorities in modern conservative politics.

Republican politicians don't think climate change is real. Democrats don't have that excuse.

A documentary on the 1973 occupation serves as a reminder that Indian Country deserves—and now has—better heroes.

South Dakota's viral meth prevention campaign masks a punitive, racist reality.

The case has it all: white-centrism, the "school choice" debate, and the obscene way in which North Carolina is failing its students.

White history is still normalized. Non-white history is seen as provocative.

Extending school hours sounds like a quick fix. It's not.

Trump is pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, allegedly as an act of patriotism. But Americans will suffer as a result.

The latest Keystone pipeline leak is one of many: The U.S. averages one crude oil spill every other day.

Oil industry greed, Trump officials' anti-environmental extremism, and long-ignored Indigenous issues are coming together in one valiant uphill battle.

The influx of police officers into New York's subway system is part of a broader criminalization of poverty.

A new poll suggests the Trump administration—packed to the brim with industry lapdogs and climate skeptics—is significantly more anti-environment than the American public is.

President Donald Trump will protect your favorite national park, but only if it scores him votes.

If American and tribal governments take drug companies to court and settle, the money should actually be used to combat addiction.

As in the United States, even progressive politicians often offer only empty promises.

Bizarrely, Nixon was the closest thing to a White House champion America's indigenous populations have ever gotten.

Climate change isn't the only reality the USDA's been slow to grapple with.

Attempts to address the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Crisis could be counteracted by the problems “man camps” cause for reservation communities.
