Howah!

Join us next week for our first episode of our 21st Season where you will meet Margaret Nakak, an Iñupiat and Yupiit elder and fabric/fur seamstress from Alaska in our "Moment with the Elders" segment.

Margaret has been employed by the Alaska Native Heritage Center for the last 25+ years as an Elder Culture Bearer where she teaches hand stitched traditional fur coats like the one behind her in the photo. She shared with us how her aunt Bertha taught her how when she was young and she makes them in honor, and in memory, of her.

You won't want to miss this. Will air on Thursday, January 15 at 7:30 pm CST. We will also share on all of platforms.

Monday, December 22, 2025 – The Year in Native News
December 22, 2025 By Art Hughes Leave a Comment

Leonard Peltier’s release after nearly 50 years in federal prison tops our list for the most momentous events of 2025. We’ll explore what the unrepentant elder activist’s relative freedom (he remains under house arrest) means nearly a year after President Joe Biden commuted his sentence. We’ll also revisit some of the other top news events including how President Donald Trump’s first year touched everything from Native health care to federal contracts, and federal recognition for the Lumbee Nation.

GUESTS

Jourdan Bennett-Begaye (Diné), managing editor of ICT

Graham Lee Brewer (Cherokee), national reporter for The Associated Press

Levi Rickert (Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation), publisher and editor of Native News Online and Tribal Business News

Awesome! Lets do more of this

Did you know - Baabiitaw Boyd, an Anishinaabe Language Instructor at FDLTCC, was involved in coordinating the first ever NHL game broadcast in the Ojibwe language between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche? The broadcast was a collaborative effort between FanDuel Sports Network, the Mille Lacs Band, the Grand Casino and the Midwest Indigenous Immersion Network

“As a Board Member of the Midwest Indigenous Immersion Network, I believe our languages deserve the same stability, continuity, and long-term investment that philanthropists and funding committees expect for themselves. The future of Indigenous language work should be supported with the same steadiness and financial confidence that decision-makers rely on when shaping their own legacy,” shares Baabiitaw Boyd, Founding Board Member and Treasurer for the Midwest Indigenous Immersion Network.
