A substantial number of Native Americans are affected by Arizona's efforts to solidify a strict ban on abortions. Even after Arizona elected leaders repealed the law affirmed by the state Supreme Court that criminalizes nearly all abortions, the state faces a new landscape with it comes to access to the procedure. Abortion access advocates are taking cues from other states with abortion restrictions on the books — a reality that affects at least 75 federally recognized tribes. We'll get rundown from multiple perspectives on the current trends and realities for abortion access for Native women.

As we approach November when the country highlights the histories of Indigenous Peoples of North America, it's fitting that Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, based on the book by David Grann, calls our attention to the heinous crimes committed against the Native American Community. In contrast to the narratives many of us have grown up with that cast the "Injuns" and "Red Man" as savages and bad guys, this movie highlights the deception and murder, as well as the racial jealousy that we've begun to see in Black historical films, but that are still new themes in films about Native American Narratives. The fact is, if you grew up learning "Columbus sailed the ocean blue..." or singing the famed Disney line, "Why does he ask you 'how'?" then there are probably a lot of nostalgic moments involving beloved relatives that are hard to let go of. And thinking of heroic leaders as the same people who forcibly removed and killed millions of people to get their land is difficult to process. But if we want to grow and be better as a nation, doing the next right thing starts with acknowledging and teaching the truth to the next generations. Here are resources to help you further explore narratives that should have been amplified long ago. Watch The Osage Murders from the 2022 PBS Short Film Festival to hear the story of the Osage murders told from the Osage perspective.

But if we are truly to love our nation, it has to include loving all of her. In November, take the chance to get to know America's origin story. As usual, all the resources are filled with resources, so you have more than enough to discover with your team, your students or even your family.

The Native American Community Clinic - or NACC - has announced plans for a new clinic and housing along the Native American cultural corridor in South Minneapolis. The new clinic aims to provide more than just medical, and housing needs but a place for the community to gather, grow and have a sense of belonging. MN Native News reporter Darek DeLille sat down with Executive Director Dr. Antony Stately to learn more.Aaniin, Zhaawanang Binesii indigo, Southern Spirit Bird is what they call me. I'm Darek de Lille and I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Staley.“My name is Antony Stately, I am an enrolled citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and descendent of the Great Red Lake and White Earth Nations of Minnesota. I'm the Executive Officer and the president of Native American Community Clinic, which is a federally qualified health care center that serves Native people in South Minneapolis.”The discussion led to what our work offers us when we offer our work within our own communities,“More than just work for a paycheck. I mean, anybody can do that, right? But there's a there's, there's tremendous value and satisfaction in working for your home and working for your people. And that's invaluable. That's something not everybody gets to have,” said Dr. Stately. "Minneapolis is the birthplace to a lot of things that have had not just profound impact here locally. But nationally."We also talked about how our American Indian cultural corridor has changed and continues to change.“There's so much about it that's different. And in some ways, there's things that are the substructure, the stuff you can see is still there, that dichotomy between like, what it was like before and how it should be now and how we've made lots of progress in some areas and backslid. In other areas because of social conditions and economic conditions.”The Native American Community Clinic has been okayed to develop and build its brand new six-story building with the first two floors, offering new clinic facilities and floors three to six offering new residential and transitional housing for the Native community. I asked Dr. Statley, what do you do with such big plans on the horizon?“I did what I always do, when I don't know what I'm going to do next, or how I'm going to accomplish it is a smudge and I said a prayer. And I just asked Creator, to like, cut my path. That's really how I got here. And it's actually how I got to where I'm at today, we're in the process of building a brand new building. And we're doing all this it's staggering to me a $53 million project, right? I was like, I'm just a kid from the south side, like, how did I get here,” he said. One of the first steps was to purchase the land that the clinic is currently on,“We were able to secure the purchase of the building through a gift from the state government, they gave us a $3.8 million award to purchase this building; we worked with another one of our partners to raise the other 400,000 to buy it. We need a new building to bring everything under one roof. That's what we're trying to do as an integrative clinic, along with traditional healing and a few other things. And so we decided to build a new building. And you can make that decision when you're a landowner. And that wasn't a decision that was on the table when it was just the lease, we're trying to create a place where every person who lives in the Twin Cities that's native knows that this is a place where they belong," said Dr. Stately.I found out further into our chat that this plot of land now has a name.“We went with the name Owáŋka Okáwitaya which means 'a place for the people to gather'. Because as far as I'm concerned, there's a dot-dot-dot at the end of that name, which is a place for people to gather, to celebrate, to heal, to grieve, just a place for people to gather and a place where people belong.”And so to explain why this community clinic, and this housing development will coincide and coexist. Dr. Staley simply offered this“Since the wall of forgotten natives, and all of the challenges that we've had with houselessness relatives in this community. Native people are 1% of the population between 1% and 2%, depending on who you talk to you. But we're about 30% of the houseless population... that is unconscionable to me, also happens to be the largest social determinant of poor health outcomes for Native people. So it was a really easy pivot for me to go from like we're going to build a brand new clinic to be we're going to build a brand new clinic, and we're going to put four floors of housing above it, because it's our responsibility spiritually and morally, to help our relatives who are in the worst conditions in the worst shape." said Dr. Stately.Darek DeLille reporting for Minnesota Native NewsDr. Stately is also the host of Minnesota Native News' Community Health Conversations

Prior to non-Natives settling in what is now the United States, Native American spirituality had solidified over centuries, differing within each tribe. That spirituality included rituals and inner meditations around nature, harmony, community and more. But it wasn't long after the settlers arrived that missionaries felt called (or were sometimes appointed) to spread the gospel of Jesus to the Indigenous people. Some missionaries grew to love their friendships with the Natives, even adopting some of their culture, language and ways of life, some even creating dictionaries which thankfully today can be attributed to the preservation of languages that otherwise would have become “dust in the wind”. The darker side to the infiltration of the missionaries was displayed by those who had a more sinister goal in mind, “beating” the spirituality, language, culture and traditions out of the Indigenous people so that the non-Natives would be more easily able assimilate them into their own culture and grab their land and resources. You may recall my friend and guest who appeared in Season 1 - Monroe Tsatoke (Kiowa), descendent of Hunting Horse and Monroe Tsatoke of the well-known artist of The Kiowa 5/Kiowa 6. He joins us again to share about: • How some Native Christians still practice their traditional spirituality but face judgement from both the Christian community and the Native community for doing both • The history of the United Methodist Church among Native Americans • His own experience of being talked down to by outside missionaries • How Stumbling Bear was one of the first Methodist Kiowas to convert to Christianity • About his grandparents who would walk 5 miles to church every Sunday to preach • How Monroe almost ruined the Christmas pageant and other hilarious stories from Kiowa country • Monroe himself also sings for us in his Native tongue (Kiowa) You're invited to hear Monroe preach at Hunting Horse United Methodist Church: 611 S 25th, Lawton, OK at 11:00 am on Sundays.

In November 2021, the San José State University School of Information's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee hosted a symposium in recognition of Native American Heritage Month. This free symposium featured keynote speakers Dr. Ashley Minner, assistant curator for history and culture at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian; Dr. Kim Sellers, associate professor and program director of graduate reading education at UNC Pembroke; Dr. Duane Yazzie, teacher and reading specialist at Tséhootsooi Diné Bi Ołta' School, Window Rock, the Navajo Nation; Dr. Malinda Lowery, historian and documentary film producer, who is a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina; and Jody Cummings, JD, Office of Legal Counsel for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut. The keynote speakers made several observations on the challenges facing the Native American community, such as the common assumption that Native Americans are a race that only existed in the past, specifically the 1800's, their falsified history that has been written by non-Native Americans, the general public being unable to effectively communicate with today's Native Americans, and much more. Suggestions on how libraries can successfully acknowledge and assist this underrepresented community were made by Sheila Gurtu, student outreach specialist and iSchool alumna, who has worked closely with the Circle of Learning project; Valerie Kingsland, program manager for the Impact Library Program and Native Library Initiative at the Little Free Library nonprofit; Naomi Bishop, health sciences librarian at the University of Arizona; and Lynette Dial, youth librarian at Hoke County Public Library and project manager for Reading Nation Waterfall. This discussion included how libraries should add more Native American items to their collections, how library staff should welcome Native Americans as one of their own as opposed to treating them as strangers, effective education services that can benefit the Native American community, and other strategies for success. Native Americans have a powerful presence in the United States both historically and culturally. Their resilience and creativity offer great learning opportunities for non-Native Americans, and it is important for librarians to be the first to extend a helping and collaborative hand to this important community. “Bridging the Past and Future: Improving Library Services for the Native American Community” offers tools and strategies for making effective changes in all American libraries.

Ben Yahola is a long time activist in the Native American Community.  He is well known nationally and internationally for his stance on saving Mother Earth, Food Sovereignty, and Sacred Sites.

For the past half century, Alcoholics Anonymous and its 12-step recovery program has been the dominant method for treating alcohol abuse in the United States. Reservation communities have been no exception. But as Erica Prussing vividly describes in her new book,White Man's Water: The Politics of Sobriety in a Native American Community (University of Arizona Press, 2011), a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment does not, in fact, fit all. An assistant professor of anthropology and community and behavior health at the University of Iowa, Prussing lived for three years on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana, working with community organizations, building long-lasting relationships, and gathering testimonies of alcohols' often disruptive impacts on the lives of many Northern Cheyenne. While many young women have embraced the 12-step program, others – particularly of the older generation – find its moral assumptions foreign and unhelpful. What emerges from Prussing's account is not a reductive and totalizing “Cheyenne culture” but rather a complex negotiation of tradition, community, and recovery in the face of persistent colonial challenges. This nuance and attention to detail makes Prussing's call for indigenous self-determination in health care all the more powerful. Learn more about your ad choices.

For the past half century, Alcoholics Anonymous and its 12-step recovery program has been the dominant method for treating alcohol abuse in the United States. Reservation communities have been no exception. But as Erica Prussing vividly describes in her new book,White Man's Water: The Politics of Sobriety in a Native American Community (University of Arizona Press, 2011), a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment does not, in fact, fit all. An assistant professor of anthropology and community and behavior health at the University of Iowa, Prussing lived for three years on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana, working with community organizations, building long-lasting relationships, and gathering testimonies of alcohols' often disruptive impacts on the lives of many Northern Cheyenne. While many young women have embraced the 12-step program, others – particularly of the older generation – find its moral assumptions foreign and unhelpful.

Activist Salma Abu Ayyash (sitting in for Sherif) tells of attending the annual National Day of Mourning in Plymouth MA during Thanksgiving. All or nearly all of the Native American speakers at that gathering proclaimed their solidarity with the victimized Palestinians. We air an excerpt. The gathering was dedicated to our brother in injustice, Leonard Peltier. One of our Palestinian brothers wrote a poem to honor Leonard Peltier, which was put to song. Salma offers her translation of the poem to English, following which we air a performance of the song. Salma reviews some of the dark history of the genesis of the Israeli takeover and occupation of Palestine, along with its distorted treatment by today's mainstream media. There's a brief discussion of the growth and significance of the ongoing BDS campaign (BDS = boycott, divestment, and sanctions). Finally, to bring us up to date, Salma presents a brief summary of some of the most recent Israeli attacks and incursions on the Palestinian people and the implications for our survival.http://www.archive.org/details/TWIP-091129-NativeAmSolidarity-BDS

On November 4th and 5th, 2010, Central Michigan University will return the remains of 144 Saginaw Chippewa tribal ancestors and associated funerary objects to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan, for proper burial. This historical event has been years in the making, mainly due to the Federal Guidelines that govern the return of ancestral remains under the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). In this special show, we are joined by special guests Dr. Pamela Gates, interim Dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences at Central Michigan University and Shannon Martin, Director of the Ziibiwing Center. Both individuals were instrumental in the organization of this historic event. Prepared to be moved as we will discuss how this poignant event came to pass, and what it means for CMU and the Native American Community.
