Denver, Colo., June 30, 2020—COVID-19 had a more devastating impact on Native American communities than others. Because only 14% of American Indians and Alaska Natives have a college degree—less than half of that of other groups, the American Indian College Fund was understandably worried about the impact of the virus on students entering college for the first time in the fall and the persistence of those already in college. Thanks to the continued support of AT&T with a $350,000 contribution to the American Indian College Fund’s Braided Succe...

The rapid switch to distance learning for 55 million schoolchildren was never going to measure up to the experience of five days a week of teaching and learning in classrooms, despite the hard work of educators. The kids who did log in regularly had limited live instruction and few opportunities to collaborate and learn from each other.

In other cases, distance learning amounted to little more than schools posting l...

Military spending, now higher than the next 11 nations combined, represents more than half of all federal discretionary spending.

Washington, D.C. – Today's U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Montana's discriminatory "Blaine Amendment" was cheered by members of the Project 21 black leadership network, who called it a major win for poor and minority parents who have been forced into failing public schools based solely upon where they live. In many states throughout the country, school choice opponents have utilized Blaine Amendments to prevent parents from accessing government assistance when choosing private schools with faith-based backgrounds for their children.

To help defend themselves against the horrid dangers, Frank Kipp, a former probation officer in Montana opened the Blackfeet Nation Boxing Club.

Harold Frazier, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe’s chairman, said in a statement Tuesday that Mount Rushmore should be removed ahead of President Donald Trump’s July 4th celebration at the popular tourist site, Native News reported. “Nothing stands as a greater reminder to the Great Sioux Nation of a country that cannot keep a promise or treaty than the faces carved into our sacre...
The nation's automakers would manufacture only electric cars. Utilities would have to stop producing pollution linked to climate change.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., will release an ambitious package of climate proposals that call for a...

The ongoing national conversation regarding police brutality and systemic racism in policing has rightly been focused on African Americans, who are disproportionately the victims of police violence. However, Native Americans "suffer the most adverse effects of a criminal justice system which consistently reifies itself as structurally unjust," according to a report by the Lakota People's Law Project. "Proportionally, Native Americans are the most likely racial group to be killed by the police,"...
