En el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana y Latina, que se celebra del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre, reconocemos y celebramos las contribuciones de las personas hispanas y latinas en los Estados Unidos, así como la riqueza de su herencia y la diversidad de sus culturas. Este marco de tiempo abarca los días de la independencia de varios países de América Latina. También es un momento ideal para reafirmar nuestro compromiso de ofrecer escuelas seguras y acogedoras para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de su estado migratorio o cualquier otra condición.Honramos el Mes de la Herencia Hispana no solo como una celebración estacional, sino también como un componente esencial de nuestra filosofía educativa diaria a través de nuestros programas de lenguaje dual español-inglés y de lectoescritura en español. Desde el preescolar hasta la escuela preparatoria, estos programas atienden a más de 3,700 estudiantes, brindándoles una educación bilingüe y reconociendo el idioma español y las tradiciones hispanas como valiosos recursos que fortalecen el desarrollo sociocultural, el orgullo cultural y el respeto mutuo.Durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, estos salones de lenguaje dual se transforman en espacios de colaboración cultural, donde las familias latinas y los educadores comparten literatura, arte e historia auténticos. Este trabajo conjunto culmina en eventos comunitarios que celebran las voces de los estudiantes y promueven un auténtico sentido de pertenencia. De esta manera, el distrito convierte la herencia hispana en un beneficio educativo para toda la vida, guiando a los estudiantes hacia la obtención del Sello Estatal de Lectoescritura Bilingüe de Oregón y fomentando un profundo aprecio por la diversidad que enriquece a nuestra comunidad.Además, contamos con un activo Comité Consultivo de Padres Latinos (PAC, por sus siglas en inglés) a nivel de distrito, así como varios «Paquitos» a nivel escolar. Estos grupos ayudan a asegurar que las familias hispanohablantes reciban información y tengan oportunidades significativas para compartir sus opiniones, además de colaborar con nuestras escuelas y el distrito en eventos y programas que celebran sus culturas y tradiciones.Durante las próximas semanas, nuestras escuelas compartirán información, recursos y actividades que celebran la herencia hispana y latina con los estudiantes y sus familias. También invitamos a las familias a participar en dos próximos eventos: la Feria Binacional de Salud del Centro Cultural, que se llevará a cabo el sábado 3 de octubre de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. en la Escuela Preparatoria Century, y la Celebración de la Herencia Hispana de HSD, que se realizará el miércoles 7 de octubre de 5:30 p.m. a 7:00 p.m. en la Escuela Primaria Quatama. Próximamente compartiremos más detalles. 

Kiera is joined by Dr. Rania Saleh, founder of Oryx Dental Software, a dental practice management platform that will streamline your practice's inner workings. The two talk about the journey of AI from when it first launched in dentistry to now, how AI can work in your practice as an accompaniment (not a replacement), the honest pros and cons of this intelligence, and a ton more.

This is Kiera, and today is an exciting innovative day. I am so excited for our guests that we have on here. Her and I met about three years ago in person, maybe even four. Gosh, I can't even remember. But I remember being in this event in Napa, and we were all hanging out in this lunch area, and there was this amazing woman who was talking about her AI innovative dental platform. And I was so fascinated by it. I went up to her, started asking her questions, and here we are four years later. So I've got Dr. Rania, she is the founder of Oryx Dental Software. And some of you may have heard it. It's a new I remember when we were talking, she's like, it's an AI platform that's gonna like take over and help schedule and a lot of the tasks that offices struggle with. And she's a dentist. And so I loved her for those reasons because not only is she a dentist, so she gets your pain point, but she's also created a software that helps a ton. And she's here to talk about all things innovative AI. And I know so many dentists are just chomping at the bit because. Dr. Rania, you know dentists are about like four, five, six years behind where you were. And so I'm super excited to have you here to talk about AI, talk about how AI is impacting dentistry, talk about how your platform's been able to help and serve. So Dr. Rania, welcome to the show today. How are you? Dr. Rania Saleh (01:10) Very good. Thank you for having me. Kiera (01:13) Course. So I gave a little bit of an intro to you. I don't know if you remember the lunch. I know we had a pre-show of how it was like that was so long ago and things have just upgraded and elevated since then. But give the listeners a little background to how you went from dentist, which I know you are still dentisting, to building this software to being like this AI innovative KOL in the industry. Kind of give us a little background of who you are and how we got to this point today. Dr. Rania Saleh (01:38) Yeah, so I started out as a dentist. and I I was an associate like most of us start. Then I went to the COI Center and I learned like a whole new way of doing dentistry. And at that point, I'm like, I'm gonna open my practice, fee for service, startup. and that happened in the middle of the global financial crisis. everyone thought I was crazy for doing it, but I went ahead with it and my practice started growing. I was doing great. it grew to multiple specialty, multi-location. and I got pregnant with twins and I had to be put on bedrust. Kiera (02:23) Mm-hmm. Dr. Rania Saleh (02:24) And it was a big, big shock for me because I had a lot of systems in my practice and I thought we were doing amazing. And at that point I wasn't practicing that many days. I had multiple associates. my practice started declining when I wasn't there. and this is when I realized that a lot of the systems were just in my head and not everyone was implementing those. and I started thinking, like, how do we get back on track? How do we stop losing? Losing money, losing patients' confidence, getting bad reviews for the first time ever, all of that really hurt me. And this is how Oreg started. Kiera (03:06) I love it. Because I think, Dr. Rania, you can really speak to how a dentist feels, right? How many dentists, I think, as you were saying it. I'm sure they're saying, yes, me too. Like I can empathize. I know I've seen it with all the clients that we work with. Systems aren't systems, right? Standards are not standards. They're what we tolerate. It's what we have as processes. And I remember you saying, like, orgs basically is going to become these offices, office manager for them. And don't worry, office managers, we're not replacing you. We're just enhancing this for you. But I remember I was so fascinated by your innovative way. And so I wanted to talk about what things can AI do from, you know, when your software first started to today, I feel like AI has just taken off, right? I was always curious what would take down like Google, right? Like coming with the internet was something in my lifetime that changed. And I was like, what's gonna be the next piece that is that innovative in our world? And I believe AI is here for that. So I'm just curious, like from what you've seen, those systems you said like they were living in your head. What things have you seen that practices can do from like AI is not a replacement, I think, for clinical decision making. It can be a tool for it. But how are you recommending that we use AI and dental practices that you've seen from software to clinical to front office? What are some of the I wanted to like really just rift with you? This is my selfish side because I'm like, Dr. Rania Saleh (04:18) Yeah. Kiera (04:19) let's chat all things AI. And what are you seeing that are like the pros and the cons? Where can dentists start leaning into this? What are some of the best on the market right now? You're one of the I love you were you're a you're a founding female in the industry and you're very innovative in it. So let's have a good rift on on AI and what you're seeing in that realm. Dr. Rania Saleh (04:38) Yeah, I mean, like AI touches every aspect, and I was so excited when something like this was created. And what was really good is with Oryx, we started with systems. What I said, like a lot of the systems were in my head, and we started like, how do we create a check-in checklist, a checkout checklist? How do we make everyone's life easy? So we made a lot of automations in the system very early on, but these automations still needed a human to intervene to be able to make it work. And with the emergence of AI, we're like, my God, this whole workflow that works perfectly for us can now be automated. So although it was easy to manage, now it's a click of a button and the whole workflow of scheduling patients, having AI receptionists call and and get patients that were not scheduled, like this is a great innovation. getting getting your clinical workflow, having to spend time with the patient. If you have your AI summarizing for you, we talk to our AI, and I always say that way, I want my AI receptionist to be the same as my best assistant. So I want I I don't want to learn a new language to speak to my AI. I want to speak as if I have Jessica or Jennifer or one of my best assistants and I'm just telling them I'm gonna do a crown on this tooth, let's extract this tooth. I see a recession here and it's capturing all of this and charting it. So AI charting is like a game changer because now my assistants could be doing other stuff while I'm doing my charting Perio AI is great. The same for imaging. It's a great tool to help us locate conditions, share our findings with the patients, and patients are just fascinating by that. So I don't see an aspect of the software where it doesn't touch it. Also like on the insurance collection, auto-attaching the narrative, anything that the insurance needs, all of that. is built into the AI system and there's a lot of tools to do that. So I I really think people should try it to see what it's capable of. Some people are a bit scared to dip in there, but I it's a game changer for us. Kiera (07:09) Yeah, so let's talk about let's play devil's advocate. because I think so many people listening are sitting on that side of the fence of like, but we're in clinical. And so how do I know that this is HIPAA compliant? How do I know that this is safe? I think that that's a big, a big concern. And then the other concern is like, well, yes, it can help me attend. How many mistakes does it tend to make? How much more double checking? Because I know there's offices and like insurance verifications. Let's go back a few years. Insurance verification, I feel like insurance verification companies have popped. Left and right. Like I feel like they're daisies in springtime. Like we just have a lot of them. And offices will say, I love it, but it's not accurate. So I don't trust it. And I'm just going to do it myself. So I think it's a twofold one. What are you finding for like AI with HIPAA and us being compliant in that realm? And then part B of that question would be: can I actually trust this and how much error? Like, are we talking 70% error, 80% error? And is it really helping my team or is it something where my team is kind of like, turning a blind eye to it, thinking it's taking care of it, and then we're just getting a lot of mistakes we have to fix first. So first question is like let's talk about hip end compliance and making sure in the medical space that we are we're protected and safe on AI. Dr. Rania Saleh (08:19) Yeah, I I would say like there's a lot of new AI companies every day. It's like a new name and people would tell me, Do you integrate with this? Have you heard of this? And if you don't have a BAA agreement with the company you're working with, then it's not HIPAA compliant. So that's the very, very basic. Before you go with any AI or any company in healthcare, just make sure that it's HIPAA compliant, that it has all the certifications needed to administer AI. And I would say that's the bare minimum to to protect yourself, to protect your practice and to protect your patients. W with the errors, it's like Anything that you do, the AI is not a hundred percent accurate, so you still have to check. But for me, I think if if I'm charting, could my assistant make a mistake and put the crown on number twelve instead of number thirteen? It happens in real life. So there's always that human in the loop where I'm gonna stop, double check, make sure. If it's taking ninety percent of my work, if it creates that summary but there's these two sentences that I don't like, I'm gonna read it. I'm not just signing. blindly progress note. But it's a lot of help. Like for example, when we do our claims, we're doing an automatic attachment. I would say that's a 99% success rate. The systems are great at detecting which radiographs they need to attach. But if you take your radiographs the wrong way, if you're putting a lower molar in the upper molar slot, then that might go wrong to the insurance. But even if you had Mary at the front sending that x-ray and it's in the slot of number three, she will probably send that x-ray. So it's not you you still need. The human to verify, but it's removing a lot of the redundant work. Kiera (10:17) Mm-hmm. Which I think that that's a good call out, right? I think that that's a a smart path to go down. I think it's a yes, but you're not wrong. Like mistakes happen in your day-to-day anyway with humans. Like, let's cut out half of the time. I I was reading up on some AI how it can like go through all your emails and respond to 60 emails in 20 minutes and have it about 80% success rate compared to what a normal human would do. And I thought about this and I was like, wow. 60 emails, 20 minutes, 80% success rate. I think that that's like a risk I'm willing to try because it frees up so much manpower for things that can't be done by AI, like blocking calendars or running interference and other things or talking to patients like right now. Who knows? There will probably be a robot someday that's gonna be. I know I had one office that was doing a robot a few years ago, but I think Dr. Aenia, what do you feel? a lot of practices like Orix is awesome, right? ORX has so many great things. There's a lot of AI in it. But a lot of offices don't want to switch softwares. I feel like switching CPAs and software is probably dentists like two biggest headaches that they just don't want to do. So, what are some tips like that a dentist? Like, what are some of the things you've seen in dentistry of AI that you might bring to the practice if they're not quite ready to do a full conversion of software? And then I do want to talk more of like what ORX can do. And like you've mentioned a few things. But if I am a if I'm a dentist, I do not want to switch my software. I love my dendrics, I love my eagle soft, I love my Open Dental. And I'm like, I'm not changing. It's too much change. We already have all of our systems processes, but I do want to start dipping my toes into AI. What have you found? What are some of the successful things that you've found that you feel like every office should be doing this? And maybe some of the ones you've heard on the market that are some of the top notch. And this is as of today, right? We're gonna timestamp it because things are shifting and changing constantly. So just realize like as of today, this is the best. What would you recommend for that practice? Dr. Rania Saleh (12:08) So I I would say like imaging, period charting, all of that could have a direct impact on the clinical workflow. AI receptionists, some people are not comfortable with that, but like maybe after hours when no one is answering the phone anyway. Don't give your best leads to the AI receptionist. But if you're not gonna answer these calls on the weekend, this would be a great way to start dipping your toe. I think People are shifting more to a comprehensive software like Oryx, and we see it more and more because you need all this data to be interconnected. If you're on EagleSoft or one of the on-prem older software, you have so many point solution and you cannot create that amazing workflow with that. And I feel AI is that tipping point for us as a software company. So maybe five years ago, I used to hear about like, why would I shift to Oryx? Why would I shift to a cloud software? It's not worth all the hassle. I have I have Dentrix and I have like six add-ons that are working so well, and my life is good. Why this disruption? So cloud is not enough of an incentive for people to shift. But now with on the Kiera (13:24) I agree. Dr. Rania Saleh (13:24) cloud features and on the interconnectivity, we're seeing a lot more people moving even from paper charts straight to AI. And it's just Kiera (13:32) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Dr. Rania Saleh (13:35) amazing. Kiera (13:37) So let's talk about, I know some of the critics of a one software are like when they're I won't say the name of some of the software. People know I don't need to to bring them up. But some of the complaints I've heard from a one-stop shop is, well, I like some of those add-ons that I'm able to put in other softwares because not every software is gonna nail everything 100%, right? So like just because we're really good at maybe we're great at the receptionist and we're great at the clinical, but we're not so good at our rub. Revenue cycle management. So every software is going to have, right? It's like a Toyota car out there. Like I can have really great la longevity and liability. Maybe you don't love the aesthetics of it. And so do you guys have any plug-ons and add-ons? Are there ways that things can integrate in? Because I know a lot of people are scared to switch to these all-in-one platforms. Because if I don't like something about it, there's nothing I can do to incorporate or change or modify, unlike some of the other softwares that are out there on the market. I don't like this, there's a bunch of add-ons that can integrate. And I found like with integrations, integrating into certain cloud-based all-in-one software, there's no integrations that they can have. So I think people are concerned about that. What are your thoughts around that when it comes to the softwares and the platforms and being able to make sure it's again, it's not gonna hit every single thing perfectly. It will do a lot of great things. How do we, how do we circumvent that and feel confident moving forward? Dr. Rania Saleh (14:58) Yeah, look the way we think about it is is it something we want to create? Is it easy to create? Is it gonna give a lot of value to our user? And does it make sense to have it only in Oryx or do we have the add-on? For example, like image annotation. We integrate with Pearl and Overjet. They're the best in the market at annotating x-rays. Kiera (15:18) They are. Dr. Rania Saleh (15:19) We're not gonna redo this work, we're not gonna get into all the certifications. They had to go through. So we have this integration and we always believe in choice. So if someone really loves overjet, they could stay with that. If someone wants Pearl, they could go with Pearl. And that's our approach to think. If it's something very minimal in the early days, people would say, Can you please integrate with this? And we have it for free in our system. We do the integration, then they don't use it. And it's not good for us and it's not good for the vendor. So like membership plans are so easy in Oryx. We never integrate it with anyone because it integrates into directly into the patient's ledger, into the credit card processor. It's a whole system built together that makes a lot more sense being inside of Oryx and a third-party integration does not make sense. So in the areas where it makes sense to integrate with other companies, we do it. In some areas we don't because users are happy with what they have. Kiera (16:21) Got it. No, that's helpful. What would you say are some of the like top things that people would consider in oryx that would make it as a switch for them to move over? Dr. Rania Saleh (16:32) the clinical was always our strongest suit and it's What makes people want to switch because you're able to give the patient a great exam and you're able to have the best relationship with the patient. Our patient report is very detailed. It has the patient's photos, it has a summary of their findings. It's the biggest source of referral for most offices. So a lot of users consider us for our clinical and the patient experience. Kiera (17:03) Got it. And can you break down specifically what are in that clinical? Like I'm looking for like the nitty-gritty. So it's like it helps us with the exam annotation. It helps with charting it, make sure that it sends the follow-ups, that it does the period. Like, what exactly is that? Because I think for a lot of buyers out there and a lot of people looking at AI, I think that they're just like trying to figure out it's like, why? Why should I switch? Like, that sounds great, but like you said, my life is good, my life is easy right now. So, what are some of those things? I feel like AI is the Life that we don't even understand that we're missing, right? Like I can have this great life, but if I don't see that Bora Bora and the four seasons exist, I don't even know that that's something that should be on my radar of a bucket list item. So what are some of those items that might just expand doctor's horizons of like, hey, I never realized that a software could do this, or I never realized that AI could do this. Like, let's do a little teaser sampler for doctors listening today of like. What are the possibilities that maybe they're not even imagining are real that are happening today for other offices? Dr. Rania Saleh (18:04) So like the whole experience starts with the patient booking online or talking to the AI receptionist, getting the scheduler and getting scheduled. And then they get the forms. The forms are extremely engaging, but we also ask Kiera (18:18) Okay, sorry, Dr. Rania. I'm gonna like just interrupt and I'm gonna back it up. So when I'm scheduling online, just clarifying, can they schedule all appointments or is it like new patients and profis? Cause I know in some of the other scheduling online platforms, they could only schedule certain types of procedures. So I'm just curious, like when they're scheduling, can it be all types of appointments or what are kind of the the logistics with that scheduling? And then we're gonna go into paperwork. Cause I'm like, hold on, break it down for me. I need a few more specifics over here. Dr. Rania Saleh (18:42) Yeah. No, it could be anything that the office wants. so if you want to expose all your scheduler, all your days with the online receptionist or with the AI receptionist, you can choose to do that. If you want treatment or not, you can decide what days, what times of the day, what providers are gonna take these online appointments or get appointments with the receptionist. so that part makes it super easy for patients to schedule and then they get an invitation to complete very engaging forms. and with these forms, we're asking a lot of questions, but patients love to complete them because they're like, that's really thorough. Like my doc I want to give my doctor that information. Very rarely someone would complain that the forms are long, but for the most part, people really like saying, Yes, I have I get food packed in here. No one ever asked me this. So we're gathering as much information as we can, and we give a summary to the dentist and also an explanation of what that would mean. So we have the latest evidence embedded into Oryx. someone comes with a rare genetic disease. It already tells them what that means, what you should be careful. Careful of how it could affect their teeth. And patients used to think, my god, my dentist is so smart. I just read it before they get in. And I'm like, you know, that puts you at a higher risk of this or that. And they're like, my doctor never told me this. so it makes the first engagement with the patient amazing because you know so much about them. If someone is Telling you that I have a click in my jaw joint and you're doing the TMJ exam, it's going to remind you. So now you have that extra engagement with the patient saying, You mentioned that you have this click on the right hand side. I cannot feel it right now. Tell me more about it. And that's what's creating that report. So the exam is extremely structured. It takes about seven minutes to complete. At the end of the exam, the patient gets a report showing their findings, their own photos, their own radiographs. So before they commit to a treatment, it's explaining to them like your periostage three. And that's why we want to have this periodontal treatment. We're going to have the scaling, we're going to have the maintenance. And patients understand, and they're not going to Google and saying, asking, like, is SRP a scan? They understand why they need that extra treatment. Kiera (21:20) I see. Okay, so it sounds like we go from being able to schedule online. I do love comprehensive forms that are saying specific things because that's also going to help us TF treatment. And also, like you said, I love making our doctors look incredible. Then when they come back, we're able to explain it, talk to them. And then on the clinical side, from things I've heard and like just repeating back, make sure I didn't miss any of the like features that are smart to be thinking about. I think the periocharding is a big complaint for a lot of hygienists. I have heard that a lot of them don't work super well. So I've heard like a lot of hygienists complain. How does your software or what are some of the softwares you've seen? Like, how do we actually fix that for them? And then also the same thing with doctor side, because I feel like a lot of it is that being able to hear it and being able to translate it into the software correctly. I've heard from a lot of clinicians that that is, it sounds so great, but actually in practicality, it's really hard. Can you speak to that of how you guys have been able to overcome that or softwares you've seen? to make that to where it's like not the annoyance. Like it's I feel like so many people think it's gonna solve their day and they're like, it's just so annoying. It's always broken and it's not working and it did the wrong numbers for me. How does that work for you? Dr. Rania Saleh (22:28) So w we had to train the models and retrain them and train them specifically to dental terminology, to specific numbers, to listen to thousands of hours of recording, and hygienists don't all talk the same way, don't say the teeth numbers the same way. So every few weeks we we come up with a new model that makes it more accurate. and it's not an easy task, it's not easy for us, it's not easy for anyone. We have office. That says, like, you have the best period charting on the market. We love it. It's amazing. It never makes a mistake. And another office that has some issues. And it's like, you have to go figure Kiera (23:08) Darn it. Dr. Rania Saleh (23:09) out is it the microphone? Is it the model? And then we start enhancing, and we realize, some people talk about it this way, and they jump into different directions. And Kiera (23:19) Mm. Dr. Rania Saleh (23:20) that's why it's not catching it. So I think from the very early days of Oryx, we've had a very strong commitment to making the software. The best, and that never changed. From creating the exams with the COIS Center, from putting the latest clinical evidence and committing to updating that evidence yearly. I don't think anyone does this much work. The same thing with any feature that you have, especially on the clinical side, where you commit a lot of dev hours to keep enhancing our features. Kiera (23:57) That's incredible. All right, Dr. Rania, I have like peppered you on so many questions. Thank you. What have I missed? What are things that you feel like, hey, Kiera, the listeners need to know about this, whether it's AI, whether it's platform specific, whether it's just like innovations in dentistry, what's something that I should have asked you that I didn't ask you that you're like, I feel like all dentists, like if I could go and help the the world of dentistry in the best way possible, what would you, what would you tell our listeners or what things do you feel like we need to explore a bit more today as we wrap up? Dr. Rania Saleh (24:26) I think the future is really, really exciting if if some dentists have not explored any of the AI tools that are available on the market, like start with the easiest one. start with having AI write your emails. I I don't think I can write an email anymore. Kiera (24:45) Which one do you use? I'm gonna interject because everyone's like, Great, but what one are you using? Who are you using for emails to write them? Dr. Rania Saleh (24:50) So I use Claude a lot and I also use Gemini. Like if I'm quickly writing an email, I just answer it and just polish and it looks amazing. and Kiera (25:00) Yep. Dr. Rania Saleh (25:01) like for for more deeper conversations, I typically use Claude. So start with like the general models and try it out and then th think how this can impact your life and then how it can impact your practice and then consider a software that is very AI forward. Kiera (25:22) Amazing. And then just break it down for us. I love that because it's like start easy, start with the emails. Gemini or Claude, you guys have it. I think she mentioned two for X-rays. I agree. Pearl and Overjet, two fantastic ones to just help with that clinical diagnosis to kind of just dip your toes into it. I know within our Dental A Team community and in-person masterminds and virtual masterminds, we are always talking about what are the AI innovation tools, what are dentists using right now, who's got the best. And I think like that peer group of being able to ask consistently. Walk us through specifics of like orcs. If I'm curious and I want to like find out more, I'm like, hey, maybe this could be a better software for me. Maybe like it is time for me to like broach it. what can people do to get more information on this Dr. Rania? Dr. Rania Saleh (26:04) Yeah, they can go at OryxDental.com and book a demo. We have an amazing team that would do a consultation with them, see what's right for their practice as a the pro tier, as a the AI tier, the automate tier, and and walk them through all the capabilities of Oryx. Kiera (26:24) I love that. And something I love about you is that you are a dentist. And so I can feel the passion bleed through you of just wanting to to serve dentists to make their life easier, to make the to make the practice and the patient experience. I think all of us could feel that today of like it is that patient experience. We want these patients to have a great and then I love that you're like, and we help the dentist look great and they don't have to do any of the extra work for it. I think that that just speaks volumes to the passion and the the pieces that you bring to the table. So I'm so grateful we were able to hang out, guys. Go. try something. I feel like kind of like offices that didn't want to get into the internet. They didn't want they were like, we'll just stick in the yellow pages. People will find me in the yellow pages. It's been tried and true. I feel like that's kind of like the internet now. And if you're not getting into AI, you're sitting a little bit in those yellow pages. And so let's make sure that we're able to be easier. We're taking advantage of these tools. You don't have to go a hundred percent all in, but I do encourage, I mean how long has Oreg's been in business, Dr. Mania? Let's just like for reference for everybody, how long have you guys been around? Dr. Rania Saleh (27:23) Since twenty sixteen. Kiera (27:25) 2016, so 10 years she's had an AI software working out there. And we're like, AI is brand new, because chat just came out two years ago. no, she's been doing this much, much longer than that. Ten years in the making, 10 years in refinement, 10 years in being able to be there. It's time if you have it. So like book the call with orcs, even if it's just to learn more. get on Claude and Gemini and write emails. I love it. You're like, I don't even write any more emails. But really, Dr. Rania, it was so great to have you. And I just truly appreciate what you're doing for dentistry, your knowledge on AI, the passion you bring to our profession and knowing that we have people like you that jumped into realms to make to make dentistry better and are really spearheading that from a space of true commitment to the dentists that are at hand. So thank you for being here today. Dr. Rania Saleh (28:07) Thank you for having me. Kiera (28:09) Of course. All right, for all of you listening, take the AI challenge, do something. And then I always love a good pen pal, I love a good accountability partner. So email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I'd love to hear what's the AI challenge you took on. What's something? And hey, depending upon how many results we get, we might even be sharing these on social. So be sure to watch there of the best of the best that we're hearing from you as listeners. Reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. And we'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

La primavera pasada les compartimos que el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro planea presentar una propuesta de bono de capital de $430 millones en la boleta electoral de noviembre de 2026. La autorización para hacerlo fue aprobada por unanimidad por la Mesa Directiva en su sesión ordinaria del martes, 26 de mayo.El bono propuesto incluye proyectos para cada escuela y edificio del distrito, tales como la reparación o el reemplazo de techos, sistemas de climatización, iluminación y áreas de juego; el fortalecimiento de la seguridad y protección; y la modernización de espacios educativos para fomentar la participación de los estudiantes y  prepararlos para el futuro. La propuesta fue recomendada por el Comité de Desarrollo del Bono y el Comité Directivo del Bono, tras una cuidadosa revisión de los comentarios de la comunidad y los datos recopilados mediante encuestas realizadas durante enero y febrero de 2026. Los bonos de capital como este son el único mecanismo que tienen los distritos escolares de Oregón para realizar inversiones significativas en infraestructura, sistemas y edificios.Gracias a una reducción planificada en el calendario de pago de nuestro bono de 2017 y al importante crecimiento de nuestra comunidad, estimamos que, de aprobarse, la nueva tasa de impuestos sobre el bono sería más baja que la tasa promedio pagada por los propietarios de viviendas desde 2018.Si el bono es aprobado, el distrito también obtendría una subvención estatal complementaria de más de $6 millones. Si no se aprueba, los proyectos propuestos no podrían llevarse a cabo.Durante todo el otoño, compartiremos mucha más información sobre nuestra propuesta del bono. Mientras tanto, para obtener más detalles, por favor visite www.Hillsboro-Bond.org. Allí encontrará un panel interactivo con todos los proyectos propuestos, una lista de preguntas frecuentes, así como otros recursos informativos.

(Courtesy Scorched Earth Services) A wildland firefighter from the Northwest Arctic community of Noorvik, Alaska died Tuesday. Federal officials say 41-year-old Leslie R. Washington worked for a Huslia-based company called Scorched Earth Services. It was contracted to help fight a 30,000 acre fire on the Minnesota-Canada border in the Superior National Forest. Washington and his team were in northern Minnesota when he died after an undisclosed medical emergency. In a statement, U.S. Wildland Fire Service Chief Brian Fennessy said the agency is “heartbroken at the loss of a wildland firefighter who died while protecting others.” Washington's wife told KOTZ news she remembers her husband as humble, kind, and devoted to his family. She said the loss is being felt throughout Noorvik and across Alaska. She said she was not ready to talk further. The Department of the Interior says it is working with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to support Washington's family, coworkers, and the broader firefighting community as they grieve. Scorched Earth Services says Washington's remains will be sent from Minnesota home to Noorvik. Washington was one of dozens of firefighters from rural Alaska communities including Huslia, Selawik, and Fort Yukon, deployed this season through Scorched Earth Services. Officials say more information will be released in the coming days. Washington was assigned to the Bear Trap Fire. Officials said Thursday it is 44% contained.

(Photo: Brian Bull) While crews mop up wildfires on Oregon's Warm Springs reservation, a relief drive is underway to help affected horses and livestock. Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports. The goal of the Warm Springs Animal Relief Fund was to raise $15,000 for hay, feed, and care for animals who have lost forage and grazing land. At last check, they had nearly twice that amount. The fundraising efforts are extending beyond central Oregon. Last Sunday, Lisa Smolenska sold bouquets donated by Charles Little Flower Farm outside Lox, Stocks, & Bagels in Eugene, Oreg. She raised nearly $700. “This has got to be ongoing because the animals are going to need forage over the wintertime as well and beyond. I don’t think we really know how long it’ll take to regenerate.” Warm Springs rancher Shana Johnson says she is happy that there is a fund. Her horses and cows lost 99% of their grazing district to the Beachcomb Fire. “When the fire started they all started coming home in groups, and there is absolutely nothing to eat.” Smolenska says she will do another flower fundraiser this Sunday.

(Photo: Baiz Hoen / KFSK) The Petersburg Indian Association recently announced that they will be repatriating the remains of a 6-month-old Tlingit girl. She is one of three ancestors the tribe plans to inter in Petersburg, Alaska. KFSK's Baiz Hoen has the story. Stephanie Aikins is the administrative assistant for Petersburg's tribal government, the Petersburg Indian Association. She spearheaded the repatriation project, and at a community dinner this month, she said she has been working on this since last May. “ This is uncharted territory. There’s a lot of clan objects that have been taken and returned, not many who are ancestors.” The tribe applied for a grant to help cover the cost of the repatriation efforts through the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), a federal law that requires federal agencies and institutions that receive federal money to return important remains and objects of cultural patrimony to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Petersburg's tribe received about $24,000 for this project. The infant will be one of three ancestors the tribe plans to inter in Petersburg. The other two have been in the tribe's possession for over 10 years. One is a male estimated to be about 300 years old. He was found when the City of Petersburg was building the City Reservoir in the 1950s, and was given to the local high school. After it was found that he was of Native descent, the ancestor was given to the local tribe in 2013. The other, a jawbone, was found around the 1980s about 10 miles south of town on the beach. Aikins says the USFS had possession until 2011, when the ancestor was transferred to the tribe. He is thought to be prehistoric, based on the report. Aikins says that the remains of the 6-month-old girl are currently being held at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. Aikins will be among a group of three traveling to Seattle on September 1 to receive the remains. They will return to Petersburg on September 4, and plan to host a ceremony at the airport that day for the infant girl's return. “She has been gone away from her land for almost 100 years, and she will be back on her land for the first time on September 4.” Aikins says that the tribe will host a larger ceremony later in the fall, where they will inter the remains of the girl along with the two other ancestors already in their possession.

Photo: Lifer inmates at Salem's Oregon State Correctional Institution connect with culture, family, and healing during the annual Many Nations Pow Wow. (Brian Bull) The power of a Pow Wow has been described as a collective heartbeat that draws people together. Celebrants often say they feel unity and freedom as they dance in a circle. Those elements are especially vital for those serving time at the Oregon State Correctional Institution in Salem, Oreg., but as Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports, for one day each year, inmates get to move to the rhythm of a rawhide drum with friends and loved ones. A soft breeze rustles the frills on Anthony Salazar (Apache)'s regalia. He describes its colors, as his wife, Stephanie, helps with final adjustments. “Colors are white, black, red, and yellow, which is the colors of the four directions. The green represents Mother Earth. All the regalia is connected to nature somehow.” Drummers gather in a circle, while other dancers fix their bangles and beadwork. A man with a microphone greets the crowd of visitors with a smile. “We're so glad you guys were able to make it. We are about to prepare to do our Grand Entry.” At first, you'd think this was just any other Pow Wow getting underway. However … “I’m in here for two counts of murder, and I got a life sentence. I’ve been in 24 years.” Salazar, like everyone else preparing to dance or drum, is a “lifer” at this medium-security, all-men's prison. “This is actually the first “Pow Wow where I've actually dressed up in regalia, and I'm going to dance.” He is thrilled to be part of the Pow Wow – and that his wife Stephanie is here. “This is my first one that I've been able to come to, very fortunate to be here. Means a lot.” As dancers gather for the grand entry, a red-tailed hawk soars above. It is a simple, but powerful symbol of freedom in a place where guard towers and checkpoints remind everyone this is a prison. Emcee Shawn Jeffers-Monro says it is great having his wife and other loved ones here once a year. “My mother was dying of cancer three years ago, and I was able to have this ceremony with her and these last rites, and be able to say goodbye to her. So this is that one time of year that we get to be together as a community, as a family, and kinda be free in a way.” One of the guests for this Pow Wow is Aliza Kaplan, a professor at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland. She says she and some of her students have been invited to this event about five times. “Because we aim to really get to know our clients and what matters to them, and see them as more than people who have committed crimes.” No one here glosses over the fact that they are behind bars for serious crimes, and may not ever step foot beyond the prison gates, but many see the Pow Wow as a way to hold on to tradition and find worth, says inmate Nestor Diaz-Miller (Cow Creek Band of Umpqua). “I've dealt with suicidal thoughts and actions in my past, and being able to focus on this inipi, this sweat lodge and that drum, literally saved my life. It's given me something to believe in, something to hope in. It's such a special feeling, I can't describe it other than special.” The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is advancing several bills aimed at settling tribal water rights and funding water infrastructure across the West. During a legislative hearing last week, senators considered measures affecting the Yavapai-Apache Nation in Arizona and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians in California, along with legislation to strengthen the federal Indian Water Rights Settlement Completion Fund. Supporters say the bills would help fulfill the federal government’s trust responsibilities while providing greater certainty for Tribal Nations and neighboring communities. The measures now await further action by the committee and Congress. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Photo: Rose High Bear, left, David Mora-Flores, Roman Wood, Joaquin Ocana, Claudia Vega, Damian Salazar, Paige Wentzel, amd Jaimie Myrick Duckett in Salem, Oreg., July 9, 2026. (Brian Bull) A small, two-acre farm near Salem, Oreg. aims to save the planet. Elderberry Wisdom Farms launched in 2018 and is the creation of Rose High Bear. The 81-year-old Alaskan Native trains interns on urban forestry and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, but as Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports, funding challenges make its future uncertain. Inside the Elderberry Wisdom Farm classroom, several people monitor a kettle of pressed elderberries. Urban forestry coordinator David Mora-Flores reads a thermometer … “It’s at 133 (degrees) right now. We’re trying to get it to about 90 degrees. At 90 degrees, we can add our flavoring and pH stabilizing agents, which are honey, lemon, and cinnamon juice.” … as Rose High Bear observes. “We're using raw organic honey from the Willamette Valley, and we don’t want to put it in something more than like 90 degrees, so we can keep all the health properties of the honey.” It is a lesson in product creation and marketing. This syrup will be used in spritzer and other items, and sold at markets. 30 years ago, High Bear helmed an award-winning audio series called “Wisdom of the Elders”, which profiled venerable people from Indian Country. But then Martin High Bear, her husband and Lakota medicine man, died. “And when he died in 1995, I seemed to continue to get messages through interpreters. So he told me that I would be leaving Portland.” High Bear settled in Salem and launched her farm. Her focus has since been getting her hands dirty, with help. Intern Claudia Vega shows some potted yew trees that a resident donated to the farm. “They’re so small, but they’re so-they’re so resilient. I mean, even just interacting with the trees is medicine itself.” Eight years in, the environmental and political climates have heated up for the farm. Last year, the Trump administration slashed budgets for DEI and environmental programs. High Bear recalls what she was about to do with a $750,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) grant when the axe fell. “Planting trees in the city of Salem in the, you could call it, Title I school neighborhoods, low-income neighborhoods, where there is low tree canopies. Then on February 28, 2025, I lost four staff all in the same day after we got notified of the freeze.” U.S. Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-OR) was able to unfreeze the funds, which run out in 2028. High Bear says there is a need for her farm. “The prophecy says the day will come when the people of the earth will turn to Native people to learn how to care for the earth, and to care for one another. And so you know we’re just trying to help fulfill that. This work is really spiritual work.” Randy Merrill, left, and Brian Cassidy. (Courtesy AAIA) Two Army veterans are riding nearly 10,000 miles across Turtle Island to raise money and awareness for Native Nations. Randy Merrill and Brian Cassidy began the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge on August 2 with a goal of raising $10,000 for the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA). The nonprofit says the money will strengthen Native Nations, support Native youth and family programs, protect tribal sovereignty, preserve Indigenous cultures, and educate the public about Native Peoples. The veterans say the journey is also part of their own healing after military service and a way to stand in solidarity with Native communities. AAIA CEO Shannon O’Loughlin (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) says the challenge represents healing through service and helps raise awareness that Native Peoples and their diverse cultures deserve equal protection.

Under the agreement, the Ioway ceded their remaining lands in present day Missouri to the U.S., marking another chapter in the federal government’s expansion through treaty-making with Tribal Nations.

Photo: First Nation leaders held a press conference on July 21, 2026 to address claims by the Ontario government. (Courtesy Nishnawbe Aski Nation / YouTube) Indigenous leaders in Ontario are calling for a public inquiry into how the provincial government responded to the wildfires that ripped through parts of Northern Ontario. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, at least two First Nations communities burned to the ground. Several First Nations leaders held a news conference in Thunder Bay recently to counter claims by the Ontario government that it did communicate and respond with Native communities about the fire dangers. Helen Paavola is the chief of the Collins First Nation. “There's nothing left but just ashes. My members barely escaped with the clothes on their back.” Paavola says her community was left to evacuate without notice or support from the government, but Ontario Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response Jill Dunlop insists there was communication. “There has been a lot of communication back and forth between First Nations communities with myself and with my colleagues and our ministry officials as well.” But Alvin Fiddler, grand chief of the Nishnabe Aski Nation, disagrees. “They were here on Saturday. Premier Doug Ford some ministers were here as well and they didn't even bother to reach out to First Nations leaders.” The chiefs are calling for changes, including officials at the top of the forest fire and emergency services for the ministry of natural resources, pending an independent investigation. And they want a public inquiry into decision making, emergency coordination, and communications with First Nations as well as over provincial preparedness. Jerrod Sessler addresses the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce candidate forum, July 21, 2026. (Courtesy Columbia Basin Herald / Facebook) A congressional candidate in Washington state has apologized for recent remarks that falsely claimed the Colville Tribe has an “incentive” for more fires, because they get “free money” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). KREM 2 TV reports that Republican Jerrod Sessler hopes to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) in an upcoming primary. The district includes parts of the Colville Indian reservation and the entire Yakama Reservation, which are both experiencing wildfires. At a candidate forum on July 21, Sessler made the following comments about the Colville Tribe. “They don’t pay taxes for anything, but yet we fight those fires to the tune of millions of dollars, and they got a check from FEMA for $30 million for the fire. So what's the incentive for them? The incentive is more fires, ‘Because we get free money.'” Tribal officials condemned Sessler's remarks, reminding people that Native citizens pay federal income “and other applicable federal taxes” while outlining how FEMA funds disaster responses. In a statement sent to tribal leaders Monday, Sessler said his remarks were “ill-informed and incorrect” and there is “no excuse for making these sorts of public comments without verifying the information.” Sessler is one of 11 candidates vying for the 4th Congressional District in the August 4 primary. And the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference just wrapped up in Portland, Oreg. The Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) organized the three-day event, which held panels ranging from how to best cover the MMIP crisis to doing social videos. Melissa Greene-Blye (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma) of the IJA education committee says final registration totals came to roughly 490 attendees, one of the best turnouts yet. “That’s really exciting, um, to maybe find out that word of what’s happening is spreading and people are saying, ‘I want to be a part of this’, and they’re showing up.” Chuck Sams (Cayuse/Walla Walla, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation), the first Native director of the National Park Service, gave the keynote address. Greene-Blye says new developments also sparked interest. “The launch of the Pacific Islander Journalism Network at conference, there was a lot of excitement with that. The new bylaws were an important point of discussion, because it had been decades since they had been updated. Now, the Indigenous Journalist Association renaming is official, official, official on paper, in law.” The event wrapped up with the IJA awards and banquet, which honored Osage News editor Shannon Shaw Duty with two IJA distinguished awards. Former National Native News host Antonia Gonzales (Navajo) was also recognized for her 22 years of hosting this program. Next year's conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minn.

Photo: Navajo Mine is the sole supplier of the Four Corners Power Plant in New Mexico. An environmental group met in Window Rock, Ariz. Monday to argue against keeping a Navajo Nation coal mine alive. As KNAU's Chris Clements reports, critics say it would ignore a nationwide transition away from fossil fuels. Members of the group Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment (CARE), like Devon Norberto, say the permit to extend the life of the Navajo Mine by 110 years is rushed. “A lot of the concerns we heard were around that the community hadn’t been fully notified of this permit.” The tribally owned Navajo Transitional Energy Company (N-TEC) operates the Navajo Mine in northwestern New Mexico and is pushing for its expansion. Supporters of that proposal argue it is essential to the tribe's economic stability and sovereignty, but Norberto says members of Burnham Chapter, a community near where coal would be mined, were not properly consulted. “It would relocate some of the families within the leasing area that they are trying to mine at. It would force them to lose their grazing lands. It would remove them from their ancestral ties to the land.” N-TEC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A federal agency tasked with approving the mine expansion is expected to release a decision in August. The 65-year-old Hills Creek Dam and Reservoir roughly four miles east of Oakridge, Oreg. as seen on June 24, 2026. (Photo: Brian Bull / KLCC) Across the Pacific Northwest, tribes and conservationists are working to help the eel-like fish, the lamprey rebound. As KLCC's Brian Bull reports, dams have greatly diminished their numbers. Recently near Oregon's Coyote Creek, technicians with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs arrived with 100 lampreys in their truck. Aldwin Keo introduced himself and his slithering cargo. “They're filter feeders, they clean out whatever is in the sediment, that's where they stay for many years before they go out to the ocean.” A group of Native educators and students helped release the prehistoric critters into the creek. This is a practice called translocation, where adult fish are released in waterways above dams. Courtney Golts, a lamprey biologist with the tribe, says dam development has had its impact. “In the upper Willamette tributaries are areas that have been completely impassable to lamprey for decades, so these are reintroductions to areas that do not have Pacific lamprey, and as of today, they do.” The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) says lamprey once teemed in the millions through the Columbia River Basin, but only 23,000 were recorded in 2010. Jerrid Weaskus of the Nez Perce Tribe holds a lamprey before releasing it in a waterway near Hills Creek Dam on June 24, 2026. (Photo: Brian Bull / KLCC) Raymond Ellenwood Jr. is a fisheries technician with the Nez Perce Tribe. Near Oakridge, he and Jerrid Weaskus released more lamprey. The goal is to have adult lamprey stay and mate, creating little lampreys called ammocoetes. “The ammocoetes, they burrow into the sand and the substrate and they'll filter feed off the detritus in the river or stream. And what they're doing is the adults are smelling the ammocoetes, that are upriver in those river systems. They're telling them, ‘Hey that river system's good. There's good spawning habit. That's where we want to go.'” If all goes to plan, lamprey released here will start migrating to the Pacific Ocean around 2030, and come back as adults four years later. “Wanna welcome you guys to our annual lamprey celebration.” Recently in Oregon City, more than 1,200 people signed up for the annual Yakama Nation Willamette Falls Lamprey Celebration. It is a day of music, presentations, even a lunch with grilled lamprey. CRITFC's Jeremy Five Crows says they have updated their plan to include a technical document for scientists, students, and resource managers, and a policy brief for lawmakers. “The lamprey has been around 450 million years. We're closer to a T-Rex than a T-Rex was to lamprey. That's how far back they go, and so the thought of just in the past 100 years that we could drive something extinct that's been on Earth for that long, is terrible.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

History was made in the National Hockey League (NHL) Friday night in Buffalo, N.Y. The Toronto Maple Leafs had the first overall pick of the NHL draft and they selected Gavin McKenna (Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation), only the second Indigenous player to ever be drafted at the top spot. Dale McCourt (Frog Lake First Nations) was taken number one by the Detroit Red Wings in 1977. More from Dan Karpenchuk in Toronto. Although the draft was in Buffalo, fans in Toronto watching on the big screen at the Scotia Bank Arena went wild after the announcement that their team was choosing McKenna, born in Whitehorse, Yukon. That kind of enthusiasm from the crowd has largely been missing in Toronto, as the team suffered one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history: ending up in 28th place and missing the playoffs. The next day, McKenna, the star rookie, got to meet the Toronto media for the first time where he was asked about his immediate plans. “Yeah, I'm going to the Jays game tonight. I've never been to a baseball game, so obviously a Blue Jays fan, so I'm looking forward to that and yeah I dunno know, I think just kind of hanging out, chillin' out. I think Dev Camp starts out pretty quick so I gotta make sure I'm ready for that. Yeah, just hanging out.” McKenna has been on the radar of NHL scouts since he was fourteen years old. When he jumped to the Western Hockey League’s (WHL) Medicine Hat Tigers, over two seasons he racked up 97 and 129 points consecutively. At the end of the 2024-25 season, he ended up winning rookie of the year, WHL player of the year, the Canadian Hockey League David Branch Player of the Year, and an Under 18 world championship gold medal. He then committed to playing for Penn State in NCAA hockey during his draft season. Analysts say he has a high-end hockey IQ with an ability to manipulate defenders and is often compared to such greats as Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane. Fans and owners in Toronto are hoping that with the McKenna one of the longest Stanley Cup droughts in franchise history could soon be over.

(Courtesy CTUIR / Facebook) The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) is holding a special summit next week organized by its Family Violence Services (FVS) program. Desiree Coyote is the FVS program manager. She says she is particularly excited for this biennial event, given the quality of speakers and topics. “I am really happy to be able to get Marisa Cummings to attend, she’s done a lot of federal work in regards to Violence Against Women Act, and she’s got many years when it comes to jurisdictional issues and collaboration.” Another session led by Jordan Battle and Arianna Sessoms addresses domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking in the workplace. “There isn’t a lot of meaningful policies or practices around addressing those in the workplace. So I’m excited that, Jordan and Arianna is going to be here to talk about how the federal government is ensuring that there’s technical assistance and training for us at the Umatilla Indian reservation, but for other agencies who receive state and federal funding.” Coyote says it is important to address these pervasive issues in Indian Country, to keep them in the forefront for vulnerable people. “When it comes to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, for the U.S. overall, the overrepresentation of population definitely lies with communities of color and tribal nations specifically. Research actually so shows that the Indigenous community on this land, are five times more to have lived through these types of experiences, the intimate partner violence and sexual assault.” The 2026 Tribal State and Federal Summit titled Beyond Policy: Shaping Behavior and Culture will be held July 7-9 at the Wildhorse Resort and Casino in Pendleton, Oreg.

En esta nueva entrega de nuestro podcast sobre series de televisión, Juan Luis Álvarez reúne tres de ellas en las que la fantasía se convierte en el elemento fundamental de sus curiosas tramas. Spider-Noir (Estados Unidos, 2026) (Temporada 1, Episodios 8, Amazon Prime) Spider‑Noir es la versión oscura y detectivesca del juvenil Spiderman, ahora convertido en un maduro investigador que reniega de sus poderes y patrulla una Nueva York de los años 30 dominada por la corrupción y el crimen. Tendrá que enfrentarse a villanos reinterpretados en clave noir como el Hombre de Arena o Duende Verde al tiempo que se convierte en un símbolo temido, pero necesario, en una ciudad que se ahoga en sombras. Lo mejor: Es una propuesta tan interesante y llevada a cabo con tanto talento que está bien hasta el a menudo desnortado Nicolas Cage. Lo peor: El rato que pasas decidiendo si ves la versión en blanco y negro o en color. Trailer The Boroughs: Jubilación rebelde (Estados Unidos, 2026) (una emporada, 8 episodios, Netflix) Un grupo de ancianos que viven retirados en el complejo residencial The Boroughs, situado en Oregón, en mitad de la nada, descubre que fuerzas sobrenaturales amenazan su comunidad, obligándolos a unirse para enfrentar un misterio que trasciende el tiempo y la realidad. A medida que investigan, cada uno revela secretos personales que se entrelazan con la amenaza que los acecha, mientras el pueblo entero parece ocultar un pasado inquietante. Lo mejor: La combinación entre drama, ciencia ficción y suspense funciona de maravilla. El tono ochentero está muy bien desarrollado por sus estelares protagonistas. Lo peor: Que el edadismo cada vez más presente en la sociedad eche para atrás a un público que gozaría la serie de los creadores de "Stranger Things" sin esos prejuicios. Trailer La maldición de Widow's Bay (Estados Unidos, 2026)(temporada 1, 10 episodios, Apple TV) Tom Loftis, el alcalde de una pequeña isla de Nueva Inglaterra marcada por supersticiones y un pasado que los habitantes prefieren no remover, está decidido a revitalizar la comunidad y convertirla en un destino turístico. Consigue atraer visitantes, pero su éxito desencadena la reaparición de antiguas leyendas que comienzan a hacerse inquietantemente reales, con las que toda la población tendrá que lidiar en medio de una tormenta espeluznante. Lo mejor: El carisma y la ironía con que Matthew Rhys interpreta al personaje central. Lo bien que funciona la alquimia entre humor negro, fantasía y misterio. Lo peor: ¿Ocho capítulos mejor que 10? Puede. Trailer

Navajo Nation Controller Sean McCabe testifies under oath during the third day of the Budget and Finance Committee's investigatory public hearing on June 10, 2026. (Courtesy Navajo Nation Council) Despite the Navajo Nation Department of Justice (NNDOJ) advising government staff not to testify about a failed, multi-million-dollar housing project, one employee broke ranks. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. So far, Navajo Nation Controller Sean McCabe has been the sole witness out of a dozen or so to comply with the Budget and Finance Committee's subpoenas. “My intention today is not to undermine a NNDOJ advisement. My intention is to fulfill my professional duties as a certified public accountant.” Yet, McCabe was still cautious on Wednesday. “I would have hoped that legal counsel was here to step in if I needed it – if I was breaching any client-attorney privilege, but it doesn't appear that they are.” The ZenniHome hearing is set to wrap up this week. Dylan Gorman, left, Lisa Norton, Todd Logan, and Joshua Rilatos speak to 165 people at their presentation at the Amanda Gathering Place in Yachats, Oreg. on June 6, 2026. (Photo: Brian Bull) Members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians recently shared their perspective on harvesting a humpback whale last November. As KLCC's Brian Bull reports, the harvest highlighted the whale's cultural significance to coastal Native communities. For nearly two hours, the group spoke to 165 people at the Amanda Trail site in Yachats, near where the 10-ton juvenile humpback washed ashore last fall. Despite efforts by locals to save it, it was ultimately euthanized on the beach. Shortly after, a team of Siletz tribal members arrived to harvest parts of the mammal, while another team from Oregon State University did a necropsy. During their talk, the Siletz said they wanted to get across that the joy many felt that day wasn't because of the whale's death, but because they were able to practice a traditional harvest that hadn't been done for generations. Lisa Norton, the tribe's chief administrative officer, said this was due to several factors. “We've got forced relocation, we've got 1932 The Marine Mammal Relocation Act, the Termination Act of '54. These aren't things that we thought, ‘Oh, well this is just temporary.' We were forbidden from practicing.” Norton's son Joshua Rilatos talked of carving the baleen and blubber from the whale, much like his ancestors did. At the end, the audience gave the Siletz a standing ovation. Rilatos said he was pleased that the event was well-received. “It was a little nerve wracking at first because you never know what to expect from the community, especially because of social media and just the perceptions people have, but people here have got a pretty good understanding of what it was like for us, and the hard work and the respect and love that we had for the animal.” In this photo from November 2025, a humpback whale lies stranded on San Marine north of Yachats, Oreg. (Courtesy View the Future) While some online commenters made racist remarks or generalizations about Native people during the harvest, supporters say the amount of reverence and respect paid to the whale showed how important it was for the Siletz to do it. Chief Doug Barrett of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians said he'd like to consult with tribes like the Siletz and Makaw to better understand whale harvesting. A dead whale recently washed ashore in his region. “I did what I could with what I had. I had my four knives and I went up there and just started taking what I could. And I would like to render the blubber out, so I could put oil on our canoes. To me, that would be an awesome way to use that whale.” Joanne Kittel is co-chair of the conservationist nonprofit View the Future, which sponsored the Siletz's presentation. She said the group picked the Amanda Trail in Yachats because of its significance to Native history. “This area symbolizes the government-sponsored genocidal policies that led to the murder and deaths of so many Coos, Umpqua, Siuslaw and Alsea people here in the Yachats area. And this whole area and the Amanda Trail bring the historical truth to the present.” Kittel said she wasn't surprised 165 people turned out to hear the Siletz's story. She added that it is important to have these conversations in an open and welcoming space. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

El miércoles, 20 de mayo, la Oficina de Análisis Económico de Oregón publicó el pronóstico económico y de ingresos del estado para junio de 2026.La situación presenta resultados mixtos, con dificultades derivadas de la desaceleración salarial, de condiciones laborales más débiles y de presiones inflacionarias sostenidas en medio de la incertidumbre geopolítica, además del aumento en los precios de la energía. Entre los factores que contribuyeron al crecimiento de los ingresos estatales se encuentran los sólidos mercados financieros, la recaudación por ganancias de capital y una desconexión parcial del código tributario federal en respuesta a los recortes fiscales federales incluidos en la HR 1 (Ley del Senado de Oregón 1507 y Proyecto de Ley 4084 de la Cámara de Representantes). Mas: www.hsd.k12.or.us

¡Felicitaciones a los equipos de liderazgo/consejos estudiantiles de las cuatro escuelas preparatorias integrales de HSD y de la Escuela Secundaria R.A. Brown! Cada uno de ellos obtuvo el prestigioso Premio Gold Council en la Conferencia de Liderazgo de Primavera de la Asociación de Consejos Estudiantiles de Oregón el 27 de abril, ¡un logro alcanzado por solo 25 escuelas preparatorias y 8 escuelas secundarias en todo el estado!Los programas de liderazgo comienzan estableciendo metas en el otoño y participando de manera constante en actividades y eventos durante todo el año.

El informe preliminar del accidente de Adamuz apunta a una rotura de la vía, descartando fallos en los trenes. Un estudio de CECYF revela que la educación española tiene más alumnos y gasto, pero no mejores resultados, con un 30% de profesores interinos y escasa mejora en inversión. Además, el sistema educativo perderá más de 600.000 alumnos en diez años. Una mujer da a luz en pleno vuelo a Oregón con ayuda de dos médicos a bordo. En '¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!', se comenta la admiración de Laura Pausini por Shakira y su homenaje en un nuevo disco. También se aborda cómo el enfado de cinco minutos afecta al cuerpo durante ocho horas. Se juega a la "encuesta absurda" y se pregunta a los niños sobre los ruidos más molestos.

Abril es el Mes de la Tierra (el Día de la Tierra se celebra el miércoles, 22 de abril) y este año el lema es, una vez más: «Nuestro Poder, Nuestro Planeta». Este mensaje nos recuerda que la protección de nuestro planeta se demuestra a través de las acciones individuales cotidianas. ¡Cada esfuerzo y cada voz son importantes! Las acciones pequeñas y constantes suman para lograr grandes cambios.HSD adopta y demuestra prácticas de conservación durante todo el año, quizás de maneras que no siempre son visibles. Estas incluyen:Recolección de restos de alimentos: Todas las cocinas escolares recolectan los residuos de alimentos, que posteriormente son recogidos por nuestro servicio de recolección y trasladados a una planta de compostaje.Reciclaje de textiles: Muchas de nuestras escuelas cuentan con un contenedor de reciclaje textil en el plantel para recolectar prendas de vestir no deseadas.Los residuos de alimentos y los desechos textiles son dos de los tipos de desperdicio más abundantes y perjudiciales para el medio ambiente, ya que contribuyen significativamente a la acumulación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. ¿Sabía usted que en Oregón se desperdician aproximadamente 800,000 toneladas de alimentos cada año y que solo el 15 % de los desechos textiles en Estados Unidos se recicla? ¿Cómo puede ayudar?Reduciendo el desperdicio de alimentos y los residuos relacionados con los alimentos:Tomar solo la comida y bebida que realmente va a consumirUtilizar platos, botellas y utensilios reusables (no desechables)Elegir envases sin plásticoSeparar correctamente los residuos antes de desecharlosReduciendo los residuos textiles:Elegir fibras y tintes naturalesComprar de manera «ahorrativa» y considerar artículos de segunda manoAprender a reparar su ropaComprar menos cantidad y priorizar la calidadEstas y otras acciones están incluidas en nuestro calendario de acciones para un planeta más saludable. Las ideas que se comparten son solo un punto de partida; adapte sus acciones para que reflejen su punto de vista personal. Las acciones más efectivas, y aquellas que es más probable que mantenga, son las que despierten su interés. ¡Diviértase!Para obtener más ideas e inspiración, visite nuestra página web Conservación de recursos y la página earthday.org.¡Felicitaciones a los equipos de la Batalla de los Libros de Oregón (OBOB, por sus siglas en inglés) de los grados 3 a 5 de la Escuela Primaria Tamarack, así como a los equipos de los grados 6 a 8 de las escuelas secundarias Evergreen y Poynter! Los equipos tuvieron un desempeño sobresaliente en los torneos regionales y lograron clasificar al Campeonato Estatal de OBOB, que se llevará a cabo el sábado, 11 de abril, en Chemeketa Community College en Salem. OBOB es un programa estatal voluntario que promueve la motivación y la comprensión lectora.Los estudiantes que forman parte de un equipo OBOB leen uno o más libros de listas proporcionadas por la organización OBOB y luego compiten contra otros equipos en «batallas» para determinar quién obtiene más puntos al responder preguntas sobre esos libros. ¡Excelente trabajo, equipos OBOB y mucho éxito en el campeonato estatal!El tercer trimestre finaliza el jueves, 9 de abril. El viernes, 10 de abril, será un día sin clases para los estudiantes, mientras los maestros de las escuelas primarias cumplen con un día laboral y los maestros de las escuelas secundarias y preparatorias trabajan en las calificaciones. Las clases se reanudarán el lunes, 13 de abril.

Note: This episode was recorded in Spanish and primarily covers the resources and trainings that Manuel Machado and his colleagues at the Oregon State University Extension Program have created for Latine forestry workers. If you know anyone who could benefit from hearing about these programs and resources, please share this episode with them.  En el tercer episodio de nuestra serie sobre la Fuerza Laboral Forestal Latina, la presentadora invitada Gaby Eseverri conversa con Manuel Machado, el Coordinador del Programa de la Fuerza Laboral de Recursos Naturales del Programa de Extensión de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón. Este episodio fue posible gracias al apoyo de Rivershed SPC, y estamos agradecidos por su ayuda para hacer realidad esta serie. Manuel trabaja con organizaciones comunitarias en todo el Noroeste del Pacífico para desarrollar materiales educativos bilingües, centrados en el aprendizaje, dirigidos a trabajadores forestales con visas H-2B y a trabajadores inmigrantes del sector forestal. Al mismo tiempo, desarrolla programas que crean conciencia sobre la mano de obra de la fuerza laboral forestal. Su trabajo tiene como objetivo hacer que este empleo sea más seguro y equitativo, particularmente a través del involucramiento de la fuerza laboral forestal latina en Oregón. Gaby Eseverri es una periodista ubicada en Missoula, Montana. Ella también colabora en la producción del podcast del Parque Nacional Glacier, Headwaters, el cual recomendamos ampliamente. En este episodio, Gaby y Manuel conversan sobre la fuerza laboral forestal latina en el Noroeste del Pacífico, incluyendo la historia de esta fuerza laboral, cómo el estatus H-2B y la condición migratoria contribuyen a una cultura de explotación arraigada en el miedo a la deportación. También analizan los riesgos físicos, económicos y sistémicos que enfrenta esta fuerza laboral, y cómo el modelo y la creciente demanda de trabajos de resiliencia forestal dependen en gran medida de trabajadores H-2B e inmigrantes que con frecuencia reciben salarios bajos y son fácilmente explotados. Además, reflexionan sobre por qué la solidaridad no solo es importante, sino necesaria en estos tiempos. Una nota: Este episodio fue grabado en noviembre de 2025, apenas unos meses después del incidente en el estado de Washington en el que dos bomberos forestales fueron detenidos por la Patrulla Fronteriza (la migra) mientras trabajaban en un incendio forestal activo. Puede encontrar más información sobre este incidente en el enlace. https://abc7.com/post/patrulla-fronteriza-arresta-2-bomberos-mientras-combatian-incendio-forestal-en-el-estado-de-washington/17685497/

La Sesión Legislativa de Oregón de 2026 concluyó el viernes 6 de marzo. Estas «sesiones cortas», que tienen una duración máxima de 35 días y se realizan en años pares, están destinadas a servir como una oportunidad para realizar ajustes menores a los presupuestos y correcciones técnicas a las políticas. A pesar de ello, se presentaron más de 300 proyectos de ley durante esta sesión, 62 de los cuales podrían haber afectado potencialmente a los estudiantes y las escuelas.Una de las principales preguntas al inicio de la sesión era si se anunciarían recortes a mitad de año para la educación de los grados K-12. Las razones principales incluían los efectos previstos de las reducciones federales al impuesto sobre la renta en la recaudación estatal de Oregón y la persistente incertidumbre económica.Lea más en nuestro sitio web en www.hsd.k12.or.us

Del 22 al 28 de febrero de 2026 se celebra la Semana de los Ingenieros. Esta conmemoración fue establecida en 1951 por la Sociedad Nacional de Ingenieros Profesionales para reconocer cómo la ingeniería influye en nuestro mundo, inspirar a la próxima generación de innovadores y fortalecer los vínculos entre ingenieros, estudiantes y comunidades.La ingeniería puede parecer una profesión desafiante, pero con una exposición temprana a actividades de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas, con invitaciones a participar y con estímulo constante, los estudiantes pueden desarrollar el interés y la confianza que necesitan para dedicarse a carreras profesionales en ingeniería u otras relacionadas con STEM en el futuro.¿Sabía usted que involucrar a su estudiante en actividades simples de diseño de procesos, como colocar fichas de dominó de forma que todas caigan en secuencia al empujar la primera, es un ejemplo de diseño de ingeniería? Hacerle preguntas sobre qué podría pasar si las fichas estuvieran más separadas o si se colocara un objeto en medio, permitirle que pruebe sus ideas y luego hacer ajustes, activa su pensamiento crítico y le demuestra que puede realizar actividades divertidas basadas en la investigación.HSD introduce a los estudiantes al campo de la ingeniería de diversas maneras: mediante kits de carreras profesionales en la primaria, clases electivas en la escuela secundaria y opciones dentro del programa de Caminos a la Profesión y la Universidad en nuestras escuelas preparatorias.Además, los estudiantes participan en eventos de exploración profesional, escuchan a oradores invitados, reciben apoyo de voluntarios en el salón de clases y mucho más.Uno de nuestros principales socios en esta labor es Portland Metro STEM Partnership, el cual es uno de los 13 Centros STEM de Oregón que conectan escuelas, distritos, maestros, organizaciones comunitarias, industria y organizaciones gubernamentales para promover el aprendizaje STEM.A través de PMSP, recibimos desarrollo profesional, apoyo curricular, programas STEAM y mucho más. ¡Consulte su más reciente video informativo en nuestro sitio web en el cual se presenta a Mykle Rojas, nuestro director de la Escuela Primaria Imlay!Para encontrar proyectos de ingeniería divertidos que puede hacer en el hogar o con sus estudiantes, visite el sitio web de Discover Engineering. Nuestro evento destacado es la tercera Noche Familiar Multicultural anual de la Escuela Primaria Farmington View. El evento tuvo lugar poco antes del receso de invierno y fue todo un éxito. Asistieron más de 300 personas, con representación de múltiples países y culturas, como Noruega, México, Australia, Corea, Japón, Turquía, Brasil y muchos más. Cada salón interpretó una canción basada en la cultura que habían estudiado e incluso hubo una actuación del grupo de Baile Folklórico de Farmington View. Varias familias colocaron mesas para exhibir objetos representativos de su herencia cultural que son importantes y especiales para ellas. ¡Muchas gracias a todos los que participaron!La asignación de los fondos se aprobó durante una ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sesión especial de trabajo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ del ayuntamiento realizada el lunes, 24 de noviembre de 2025.Noticias de Última Hora se publica y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y al personal del HSD cada semana de clases.

Miguel Ángel lleva 15 años en prisión cumpliendo una condena de 30 años por secuestro. Su historia no empieza con un crimen. Empieza con un padre que también estuvo preso 34 años; con una madre que vivía en otro país mientras él la buscaba.00:00:00 - 00:02:36 | 15 años preso00:06:28 - 00:08:35 | Apuñalé a mi padrastro00:19:39 - 00:24:10 | El cártel me reclutó00:30:29 - 00:32:41 | Maté y no pude salirme00:42:18 - 00:45:35 | Mi arresto y el precio realA los 15 años se fue a Estados Unidos a estudiar. Tenía el mejor promedio de su escuela, una beca lo llevó a Francia. A los 18, lo detuvieron vendiendo droga en Portland, Oregón. A los 20 lo deportaron. A los 24 ya estaba en prisión por secuestro en México.En este episodio, Miguel Ángel habla sin filtros desde la cárcel: de cómo apuñaló a un padrastro para proteger a sus hermanas mientras dormían, de la sensación de poder que le dio portar un arma para el cártel, de las órdenes que no podía negarse a cumplir bajo tortura, de lo que es matar a alguien sabiendo que no tenías opción, y de lo que se queda cuando todos los que amabas se van alejando uno por uno.Ahora, hay veces que pasa días sin comer. Dice que no merece ni un lugar donde dormir por lo que hizo. Y aun así, Miguel Ángel sigue de pie.Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

Salmos 77:14“Tú eres el Dios que hace maravillas; hiciste notorio en los pueblos tu poder".¿Qué tan grande es el organismo viviente más grande en la Tierra? Todos sabemos que los gigantes secoyas de California crecen más grandes que cualquier ballena. Sin embargo, hay otros organismos vivientes que hacen ver pequeños incluso a los secoyas.Los champiñones que salen en su jardín o en el bosque en realidad tan sólo son el fruto de un gran hongo. La parte principal del hongo existe como una masa de filamentos que crecen bajo tierra. En 1992 los científicos descubrieron el crecimiento de un hongo tal en el estado de Washington y lo declararon la cosa viviente más grande conocida. Cubría como 1,500 acres. La única señal del hongo eran los dorados champiñones que salían cada otoño. A pesar de su nombre común, el hongo de miel, los investigadores ahora han descubierto un hongo aún más grande de la misma especie. Se extiende a 3 pies de profundidad (91.4 cm) bajo el Bosque Nacional Malheur al este de Oregón. ¡Este monstruo, estimado en 2,400 años, es de tres y medio millas (5.6 Km. de ancho) y cubre 2,200 acres (890 hectáreas)! Nadie se ha tomado el trabajo sin remedio de estimar su peso. El problema con este hongo es que mientras se esparce, mata árboles. Esta es la razón por la cual el Servicio Nacional de Forestación está intentando aprender cómo controlarlo.Los inmensos dinosaurios y ballenas de hoy reflejan el poder y creatividad del Creador. Así mismo, este inmenso hongo que produce el champiñón de miel refleja la ilimitada imaginación del Creador al formar todas las cosas vivientes.Oración: Ayúdame, Amado Padre, para también dar testimonio de Tu poder y amor. Amén.Ref: Minneapolis Star Tribune, "2,400‑year‑old Oregon fungus is largest living organism." Imagen: The Malheur National Forest and World's Largest Living Organism (The Humongous Fungus), Craig L.

Mateo 19:6“Así que no son ya más dos, sino una sola carne; por tanto, lo que Dios juntó no lo separe el hombre.".La Biblia nos enseña que el matrimonio es de un hombre y una mujer, unidos en una sola carne de por vida. La moralidad tradicional ha reflejado este punto de vista. Sin embargo, la moderna cultura occidental ha visto al divorcio como una libertad que debe estar disponible para todos. El término popular “divorcio sin culpa” intenta dar la impresión de que el divorcio tiene pocas consecuencias. Sin embargo, dos estudios recientes, claramente muestran el verdadero costo del divorcio.Algunos investigadores junto con el Centro Social de Aprendizaje de Oregón estudiaron los efectos del divorcio sobre los adolescentes. Ellos examinaron el comportamiento de los varones de secundaria. Y encontraron que los varones de familias donde hubo un divorcio tenían más probabilidades de experimentar más temprano con el sexo que los varones cuyos padres nunca se habían divorciado. Otro estudio realizado por un sociólogo de la Universidad de Wisconsin en Madison observó los efectos que el divorcio ejerce sobre las mujeres jóvenes. Este estudio rastreó el comportamiento de casi 4000 jovencitas. Y encontró que las jóvenes provenientes de matrimonios divorciados tenían más probabilidades de concebir bebés fuera del matrimonio que aquellas de familias que no habían experimentaron el divorcio. Ambos estudios demostraron que uno de los costos del divorcio es la actitud casual hacia el sexo de parte de los hijos de padres divorciados.Cuando Dios nos dio el matrimonio en el Jardín del Edén, Él tuvo la intención de que fuera una unión de por vida. Aunque el divorcio trae dolor a los adultos involucrados, Dios también sabía que los hijos de un divorcio seguirán el ejemplo de sus padres al tomar muy ligeramente el regalo del sexo.Oración: Señor, gracias por el regalo del matrimonio. Ayúdame siempre a honrarlo. Amén.Ref: Minnesota Christian Chronicle, "Stable, two‑parent families produce the healthiest kids."

(Brian Bull / Buffalo's Fire) Search teams working on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) cases must prepare themselves for the likelihood they will come across a body. One group based in Portland, Oreg. is proactively preparing volunteers for that encounter, as Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire reports. Inside an anatomy lab, William Borman, professor of basic sciences for the University of Western States, carefully turns a cadaver over on a metal table. Metal canopies cover human cadavers inside Linfield University's anatomy lab in Portland, Oreg. Thursday, January 22, 2026. (Photo: Brian Bull / Buffalo's Fire) A tinge of formaldehyde fills the air. Seven volunteers with the group, MMIW Search & Hope Alliance, examine its tendons, nerves, and organs. Kimberly Lining is the group's founder. She says she has seen death up close many times. “And I think through my years of traumatic experiences with violent death, I’ve seen a lot, it’s prepared me. I think just due to fire, like steel is forged through fire.” But for most people, exposure to death and corpses is not a recurring thing, so Lining reached out to Borman to arrange a visit. Not only does it gird people for when they find a body, but it helps them discern between human and animal remains. Two volunteers, Sabrina Griffith and Isabella Regalado, say they would recommend this experience. “Just seeing the veins, the actual ligaments, the bone, the muscles, it was quite surprising to see it and feel it in real life. I've only touched bones and stuff like that, so it’s very interesting to actually feel the inner part of our body.” “It’s actually been better than anticipated. I thought it would be a little bit more gruesome, but everyone has been very professional and understanding, and everyone has been doing their best to educate everyone else.” Lining and Borman remind people that viewing cadavers is not the same as coming across a corpse, whether that is in the wilderness or city. Such bodies are not preserved, and beyond what the cause of death inflicted, would be subject to the elements and scavengers. “If it’s in the wilderness, in the forest, bears, cougars, wolves … they’re gonna tear at stuff and leave the bone. So definitely pieces more than together.” Near the end of the visit, Borman sprayed a blue hydrating liquid to keep the cadavers from drying out and developing mold. He said everyone in Lining's group was respectful and asked great questions. “I’m pleased that we were able to make this happen. If she were interested in doing it again, I'd be open to doing it again.” Lining and her volunteers gave small gifts of gratitude to Borman and thanked him for his time. MMIW Search & Hope Alliance is preparing for two search efforts in the next few weeks.

Seventy-four-year-old grandmother Máire Mhic an Fhailí attended a peaceful protest in support of the Palestinian people last August in Belfast. She was among those arrested under the UK’s controversial Terrorism Laws because of her t-shirt. JJ Ó Dochartaigh from the Irish language band Kneecap wore the same T-shirt as Máire Mhic an Fhailí ahead of the band's 2025 Glastonbury set. (Courtesy Kneecap / X) During the arrest, English-speaking police officers were unable to understand her as she gave them her address – because she spoke in her Indigenous language of Irish. The Police Ombudsman ruled last week that the arresting officer should have taken reasonable steps to arrange a translation service – and that Mhic an Fhailí experienced “oppressive behavior”. The police watchdog also issued a policy recommendation for future engagements with Irish-language speakers. Mhic an Fhailí’s lawyer says this decision “puts a marker down” for how the police service must respect the Irish language moving forward. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

El Departamento de Educación de Oregón publicó las tasas de graduación de 2025 el jueves 29 de enero. Los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro alcanzaron un hito notable en 2025, con un 90.43 % de los estudiantes del grado 12 graduándose dentro de los cuatro años posteriores a su ingreso inicial a la escuela preparatoria. Esta es la primera vez desde que el estado de Oregón comenzó a utilizar el método de cálculo de la tasa de graduación por grupo en el año escolar 2008-2009 que el promedio del distrito supera el 90 %. Tres de las cinco escuelas preparatorias del distrito registraron tasas individuales superiores al 90 %: Century, Glencoe y Liberty. La Academia en Línea de Hillsboro alcanzó la tasa más alta de su historia, y Hilhi logró su segunda más alta. La tasa de graduación del distrito es 7.41 puntos porcentuales superior al promedio estatal y 2.88 puntos porcentuales mayor que la tasa del año pasado, que fue del 87.55 %.Se observaron avances significativos en las tasas de graduación de estudiantes con discapacidades, estudiantes en situación de pobreza, estudiantes de razas/etnias desatendidas, estudiantes que en algún momento estuvieron en el programa EL y estudiantes que se identifican como hispanos/latinos y afroamericanos, lo cual se alinea con la prioridad estratégica del distrito de ayudar a que los estudiantes alcancen el éxito sin que este sea predecible ni predeterminado por su origen racial o étnico o cualquier otra identidad.

Maleeka “Mollie” Boone, a Navajo girl who'd gone missing in the community of Coalmine near Tuba City, Ariz. marks the second time an alert system has been used in search of a Native American since its implementation last year. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, that search is now over. The FBI Phoenix Field Office confirmed that Boone's body was found on Friday following a multiagency search that included law enforcement authorities from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, U.S. Marshals Service, Coconino County Sheriff's Office, and Flagstaff Police Department. “To learn that this search has ended in loss is a pain beyond words.” Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren took to social media to share his condolences – not just for Maleeka, but also 3-year-old Karson Apodaca, who was killed during a Christmas parade. “In just the past few weeks, with the tragedy in Kayenta and now this heartbreaking news from Coalmine, our Nation has endured tremendous pain. These moments remind us just how sacred our children are and how deeply connected every life is within our Navajo community. May we honor Maleeka's spirit by cherishing and protecting every child across the Navajo Nation.” The investigation into Maleeka's death is being handled by the FBI and Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonathan Juárez (@pueblobaddie) On the opening day of the New Mexico legislative session Tuesday, a protest was held at the state capitol in Santa Fe. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) spoke to Indigenous people at the event. Hundreds of New Mexicans rallied and marched up the steps towards the Roundhouse. Oglala Sioux Nation member John Swift Bird led the march with other Native drummers. “The energy always, always gets to the people. People have always resonated to the singing and to the energy of it.” He's been advocating back and forth between New Mexico and South Dakota ever since the 2016 protests in Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Longtime activist Elder Kathy Sanchez (San Ildefonso Pueblo) gave a blessing and told attendees to not give up. “Every thing that is brought forth in a good way will survive, because all of us are not giving up on each other.” Siihasin Hope from the Mescalero Apache and Diné Nations is an advocate for the Southwest Solidarity Network and Revolutionary 2 Spirit Collective. Hope is advocating for land and water protections and says  it's important for Indigenous people to understand and exercise their rights. “It’s the only reason that we have them, is because people before us, our ancestors before us, have fought for us to be here. Have fought for us to have the right to, you know, live.” She wants lawmakers and the governor to continue upholding tribal consultation on Native issues and says she and other advocates will continue to fight for tribal rights.

(Photo: Brian Bull / KLCC) The founder of a Missing and Murdered Indigenous People organization is sharing the faces of those affected by the crisis. KLCC's Brian Bull (Nez Perce) reports on a new exhibition in Salem, Oreg. Amanda Freeman founded Ampkwa Advocacy and has displayed nearly three dozen photos of Native people who have lost a relative or have suffered domestic violence or addiction. It's titled, “Ampkwa: munk lush nsayka shawash tilixam”, which means “Healing our Indigenous relatives.” Red hand prints and a long red trailing dress adorn the walls and wrap around each portrait. Freeman says she wants visitors to leave with one impression. “I would like them to remember that we're not disposable. And actually leave with the mindset of, “Let me share this information because I had no idea. Because any awareness is good awareness.” A reception and artist's talk will be held January 28. The exhibit runs through February 6 at the Gretchen Schuette Art Gallery at Chemeketa Community College. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Organizers in Chicago just broke ground on a 45-unit affordable housing project specifically for Native Americans that is scheduled to open this year. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians just cut the ribbon in October for 40 new affordable housing units in Salem, Oreg. And Oakland, Calif. is working on 76 new homes for low-income Native Americans attached to a Native health facility. The surge in projects specifically geared toward urban Native Americans is meant to offset barriers that disproportionately affect their ability to keep a roof over their heads. We’ll hear about the factors fueling the surge in new affordable housing projects in various cities.

Tribes are raising concerns about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity and the safety of their tribal citizens living in the Twin Cities after 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent Wednesday in Minneapolis. The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, White Earth Nation, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and Red Lake Nation have issued releases expressing remorse for Good and her family. A number of Native groups have also extended their condolences, included the Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition and Native Women Running. The restaurant Owamni by Sioux Chef Sean Sherman, in Minneapolis, closed after the shooting. In a social media post, Owamni said it will reopen with a portion of sales this weekend being donated to Good's family. Tribes are encouraging their citizens to report any interactions with ICE to them, to be mindful of their surrounds, carry identification, including tribal IDs, and to check on elders and relatives in the Twin Cities. The Red Lake Nation is condemning the shooting saying President Donald Trump must be held accountable for his “war of retribution” and that it has 8,000 members living in the Twin Cities where “ICE is presently terrorizing residents.” The Trump administration is justifying the shooting while city and state leaders disagree. The mayor wants ICE to get out of Minneapolis, and so does Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth/D-MN). On national television during an interview with ABC News Thursday night, Lt. Gov. Flanagan said, “it's time for ICE to get out of Minnesota,” to leave them alone, and that enough is enough. Meanwhile in South Dakota, the Oglala Sioux Tribe is also raising concerns about its tribal citizens living in the Twin Cities. In an advisory to tribal citizens, OST President Frank Star Comes Out said he has been made aware that ICE detained four of their tribal members in Minneapolis. He said tribal attorneys have been instructed to reach out to Flanagan and work toward their release. The advisory to Oglala Lakota citizens also includes how to handle ICE interactions, and to contact Star Comes Out or other officials with the tribe immediately. Brian Bull contributed to this story. The Community Giveback event between MMIW Search & Hope Alliance and Project Lemonade benefited foster youth and generated donations of socks, hats and stuffed animals in Portland, Oreg., Saturday, December 13, 2025. (Courtesy Kimberly Lining) A Portland, Oreg. organization involved with Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) awareness and advocacy is holding volunteer training. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire reports on what people should expect should they participate in MMIP events. For roughly a year and a half, MMIW Search & Hope Alliance has conducted searches and events that support their community. Founder Kimberly Lining says they rely heavily on volunteers to get things done across the region. Besides being physically fit for hiking, marches, and distributing materials, Lining says it is also important that people are emotionally mature and tough. “How they handle stress. How they handle dealing with confrontation because a lot of times we’re dealing with devastated families. And sometimes their anger can be directed at us, and it’s not personal. It’s because the families are under so much pressure.” Kimberly Lining, founder and coordinator of MMIW Search & Hope Alliance, at its first annual conference held in Gresham, Oreg., on Monday, May 5, 2025. (Photo: Brian Bull) Lining says a common misperception is that volunteering with groups like hers is some kind of true crime adventure, or that all they do is search for bodies. She says most MMIP cases result in finding people who are alive, but even then there can be challenging situations. “A lot of times they’re struggling from an addiction. So we kind of look at that aspect. ‘Hey, do you need to get into detox? Would you like to go here? Do you want to speak to your family?’ We really encourage the missing that we find to call home, call their family, and we offer to give them that resource.” Volunteers with special skills such as scuba diving, rappelling, or operating drones are great, Lining adds. The MMIW Search & Hope Alliance's training will be held on January 10. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

CTSI tribal members Todd Logan, Joshua Rilatos, and Dylan Gorman work with anatomic pathologist Kurt Williams of the OSU necropsy team to remove blubber, bones, and baleen for cultural use and tissue samples for diagnostic testing on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. (Photo: Jens Odegaard / Oregon State University) Last November, a stranded humpback whale near Yachats, Oreg. had to be euthanized after rescue efforts to put the 10-ton, 28-foot-long mammal back into the ocean failed. As Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire reports, what followed became a meaningful collaboration between the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and a team from Oregon State University (OSU). In mid-November, volunteers worked around the clock to keep the whale doused in sea water – and to try pulling it back into the sea. Video from The Oregonian captured some of those harried efforts. Finally, on-site stranding experts and veterinarians agreed to put the whale down. A necropsy team from OSU prepared to remove samples to determine how the whale lived before getting tangled in crab pot line. Kurt Williams is the director of the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. “I've never done a necropsy exam on a whale, before. I don't think I'll have another opportunity – I hope I don't have another opportunity, because I don't want this to happen to these animals.” Another group of roughly 20 Siletz tribal members also came. Among them was Lisa Norton, chief administrative officer for the tribe. She said they began by laying down tobacco and praying with Williams' team. “We offer up prayers for the animal and the bounty it's going to give us. People kinda did their own thing, they prayed in whatever way was comfortable for them. But we just spent some time taking in the enormity of the task.” There's been a historic tension between tribes and scholars, often due to academic institutions pillaging remains and artifacts from Native burial mounds and village sites. But these two groups – standing side by side with the whale – worked in tandem, conferring with each other as they worked against the incoming tide and pending sunset, said Norton. “We were able to get them to get more specimens than they would have otherwise, that resulted in them finishing quicker and getting more samples had they just done it on their own. But also allowed us to preserve more parts of the whale for future use.” Williams praised the experience. “I'm not going to kid you, being able to work alongside the members of the Siletz Tribe, it was amazing. And they were gracious and collegial, and to even allow us just a glimpse into their community and culture was, I felt honored to be honest with you.” The Siletz have stored 1,500 pounds of blubber for possible soap or oil, while the whale's skeleton has been buried for possible use later as a museum piece. While the whale's death was a sad event for many, the collaboration between the tribe and university gave a primer for how to handle similar incidents in the future. Angela Sondenaa is the Natural Resources Director for the Siletz. “We would anticipate that if something similar happened, that we would revive those relationships and collaborations that we've built from this experience.” Health and Human Services Secretary. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with Gabriel Lopez, chairman of the Ak-Chin Indian Community, in Scottsdale, Ariz. in November 2025. The Indian Health Service (IHS) recently announced seven projects to build or renovate health care facilities – often in rural areas – throughout Indian Country. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, one of those beneficiaries will be Arizona's Ak-Chin Indian Community. Gabriel Lopez, the tribe's chairman, is grateful. “Currently, we have a satellite facility, which is 2,000 square feet and a triple-wide trailer with minimal services.” Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with the Ak-Chin Indian Community in November. After that visit, he made a social media post with Lopez. “The elders in the community have to drive 60 to 80 miles to get decent care, and they have to go through Maricopa County with all the traffic, so it's an inconvenience and it can be a lethal inconvenience.” Ak-Chin will construct a 60,000-square-foot facility and lease it at no-cost to IHS for two decades. In exchange, the agency will lobby Congress on behalf of the tribe for federal funding to staff and maintain the building. “In a roundabout way, we're looking at maybe two years to be up and running,” said Lopez.

Se ha realizado un descubrimiento revolucionario en los Estados Unidos: el mayor depósito de litio del mundo fue encontrado dentro de un antiguo supervolcán en la frontera entre Nevada y Oregón. La Caldera McDermitt alberga un estimado de 40 millones de toneladas métricas de litio, casi la mitad de las reservas conocidas del mundo y el doble de lo que poseen los famosos salares de Bolivia. Dado que el litio es esencial para las baterías de smartphones, laptops y vehículos eléctricos, este hallazgo podría transformar la cadena de suministro global. Con una demanda de litio que se espera se dispare diez veces para el año 2050, Estados Unidos podría finalmente reducir su dependencia de proveedores extranjeros, especialmente China. En 2022, América importó el 70% de sus baterías de ion de litio, pero este descubrimiento podría cambiarlo todo. Si la minería comienza según lo planeado en 2026, Estados Unidos podría convertirse en una potencia importante en la industria del litio, impulsando tanto la innovación como el crecimiento económico.

Photo: Mrs. Crystal Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and Solte Santa, as portrayed by Colleen Payne, Qalch'ema Friedlander, and Jerry Payne, visit the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., Sunday, December 14, 2025. (Buffalo's Fire/Brian Bull) It's the holiday season with many families across Indian Country waiting for Santa's visit to reward all good children with presents. And while the mainstream depiction is of a jolly old elf who's white and decked out in a red, fur-lined suit, some Native Santas are inspiring yuletide cheer in their own ways. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire shadowed one across Oregon. At the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., a packed classroom welcomes Solte Santa, accompanied by Mrs. Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and others from the North Pole. Jerry Payne, the man behind the curly beard, explains his role. “'Solte' in Salish means 'warrior', so I wanted to honor that. And I'm a veteran myself. Every community has their own style of Santa so I wanted to make sure that the Indigenous Natives got to be represented as well.” Solte Santa has made nine appearances across Portland, Eugene, and other places this month, listening to kids' wish lists and posing for family photos. With a feathered bustle, candy cane staff, and festive beadwork, he contrasts sharply with the Coca-Cola Santa that's been widely iconic since the 1930s. But Payne says that's a plus. “The mall Santa or typical Santa that everybody knows like the Coca-Cola Santa … for whatever reason, kids are scared of that Santa. But I've had kids that … their parent would say that they would never come up to take a picture with me. Next thing you know, they're hugging me and jumping in my lap and we take a good picture. Their parents are crying because they never got a good picture with their kid.” A study involving an Oregon State University scholar looked at non-traditional Santas. Bori Csillag, Stirek assistant professor of management, said for many Father Christmases, spreading love and joy for the holidays surpassed the need to conform 100% to the mainstream depiction of Santa Claus. “They see the fit, they hear the calling in their heart, they know that they are able to portray their role successfully.” Besides Solte Santa, a First Nations dancer called Powwow Santa has been firing up social media, and there are many others across tribal communities, reminding people that the Christmas spirit exists for everyone. A Navajo children's television show returned this month with a holiday special. Jill Fratis reports. The “Navajo Highways” special is titled “Ya’ah’teeh Keshmish,” which is “Merry Christmas” in Navajo. It's the show's first full holiday themed episode. The creator of the series, filmmaker, and musician Pete Sands, says the show teaches Navajo language and culture. “Parts of it is my childhood, and part of it is how I wish my childhood was. It's a balance of both, and I think shining positivity on Indigenous cultures is important to do.” The series blends puppetry, storytelling, and Navajo humor, all set along the winding highways of the Navajo Nation. Sands says that a memory he had of a teacher using puppets to help children listen, gave him the idea to use them in his show. “Seen a teacher friend of mine who was trying to tell her first grade students to clean up, but they wouldn't listen to her, so she reached into her desk and she pulled out a hand puppet and started talking to her class, and they listened to her, through the puppet actually, and a lightbulb went off in my head like wait, maybe there's something to this. Maybe I can use this.” The holiday episode highlights traditional winter teachings, including family gatherings, gratitude, and the meaning of giving. Season two of the series begins production next year. Sands says there will be new puppets and new locations, but says the heart of the show remains the same: teaching children simple Diné words and phrases through everyday scenes and conversations. The “Navajo Highways” holiday special, and season one, is now streaming on the First Nations Experience (FNX) platform.

Min 4: LOS ABANDONADOS. NETFLIX (3,5 ESTRELLAS) En “Los Abandonados”, creada por Kurt Sutter y protagonizada por Lena Headey y Gillian Anderson, Netflix recupera la crudeza moral del western para mostrar un Oregón de finales del siglo XIX donde los más pobres —viudas, inmigrantes, huérfanos y campesinos expulsados de sus tierras— se ven arrastrados a una guerra soterrada contra una élite que pretende borrarles del mapa. Min 12: EL JUEGO DE GRACIE DARLING. NETFLIX (3 estrellas) En “El juego de Gracie Darling”, creada por Megan O'Keefe y protagonizada por Sophie Wilde junto a Richard Armitage, Netflix construye un thriller psicológico elegante y perturbador en el que una joven retraída, marcada por una infancia llena de silencios y secretos, se ve envuelta en un experimento social que promete convertirla en la versión “perfecta” de sí misma, pero que pronto revela un mecanismo de control emocional tan adictivo como destructivo. Min 20. TERRA ALTA. MOVISTAR+ (3,5 estrellas) En “Terra Alta”, creada por Eligio R. Montero y dirigida por Eduard Cortés (basada en la novela de Javier Cercas), con un reparto encabezado por Miguel Bernardeau, Iván Massagué y Marta Etura, la serie retrata un rincón aparentemente tranquilo de la España rural —la “Terra Alta”— sacudido por un crimen brutal que derriba cualquier falsa tranquilidad: el asesinato de la familia más poderosa y acaudalada del lugar moviliza a la comunidad y despierta los demonios de quienes creían haber enterrado su pasado. Min 34: BSO: ANATOMÍA DE LA ANATOMÍA DE UN INSTANTE En la banda sonora de “Anatomía de un instante”, compuesta por Julio de la Rosa, la música adopta un tono sobrio, inquietante y casi hipnótico que acompaña la revisión del 23-F sin imponerse sobre la narración, construyendo un clima de tensión continua mediante patrones rítmicos contenidos, cuerdas graves y un minimalismo emocional que potencia la sensación de inestabilidad política.

El miércoles, 19 de noviembre, la Oficina Legislativa de Ingresos de Oregón publicó el Pronóstico Económico y de Ingresos del estado correspondiente al mes de diciembre.La buena noticia es que los recursos netos del Fondo General y de la Lotería aumentaron $318.8 millones con respecto al pronóstico de septiembre. La mala noticia es que aún se encuentran $635.9 millones por debajo del pronóstico de cierre de sesión de junio de este año.Aunque la noticia es tan alentadora como los defensores de la educación K-12 esperaban, sigue siendo fundamental mantenerse atentos y presentar argumentos claros y sólidos para priorizar las crecientes necesidades de los estudiantes y garantizar que todos los programas K-12 se protejan de recortes o reducciones en el presupuesto 2025-27. Muchos otros programas enfrentarán recortes, particularmente en el sector de servicios humanos, debido a la aprobación de leyes federales (en particular, Medicaid y SNAP), que el estado deberá considerar al equilibrar presupuestos, decidir si recurrir a fondos de reserva, etc.También vale la pena señalar que la legislatura está pronosticando otros posibles costos que no han sido presupuestados (por ejemplo, costos de mitigación de incendios forestales, costos de implementación estatal de HR 1, mantenimiento de un saldo final para el fondo general del estado, etc.).Si bien hay un pronóstico adicional que se publicará el 4 de febrero de 2026 para informar a los legisladores durante su sesión corta, las escuelas K-12 deben estar preparadas para la posibilidad de reducciones a mitad de año o mitad de bienio.Nuestros estudiantes destacados pertenecen al Programa de Destrezas Prácticas para la Vida de la Escuela Primaria Orenco quienes pudieron participar en la Escuela al Aire Libre (ODS, por sus siglas en inglés) gracias al esfuerzo adicional del Distrito de Servicio Educativo Regional del Noroeste y de los miembros del personal de Orenco. Cada sede de ODS normalmente cuenta con una silla de ruedas todo terreno, pero se necesitaban sillas adicionales para garantizar el acceso a todos los estudiantes que las requerían. Por ello, los miembros del personal del distrito de servicio educativo solicitaron sillas de ruedas de otras sedes de ODS para hacerlo posible. ¡Gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible que esta tradición tan significativa fuera accesible para estudiantes con discapacidades!La publicación de Noticias de la Semana se elabora y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y a los miembros del personal de HSD cada semana durante el año escolar.

Del 20 al 26 de octubre de 2025 se celebra la Semana de Escuelas Seguras en Estados Unidos. Durante este tiempo, reconocemos el compromiso continuo de nuestros estudiantes, miembros del personal y socios comunitarios para mantener entornos de aprendizaje seguros y de apoyo en todo el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro.La base de nuestros esfuerzos por garantizar la seguridad física se estableció a través del Bono de 2017, que destinó aproximadamente $21.6 millones en infraestructura crítica de seguridad para todo el distrito. Esta inversión permitió establecer niveles consistentes de protección en todos los planteles mediante vestíbulos de entrada segura, cercas mejoradas, película transparente de seguridad para las ventanas y el sistema triple de seguridad del distrito, el cual incluye control de acceso, alarmas de intrusión y sistemas de videovigilancia.Actualmente, HSD sigue fortaleciendo su enfoque de seguridad escolar mediante la reevaluación continua de sus sistemas, procesos de capacitación y colaboraciones estratégicas, con el objetivo de anticiparse a los desafíos emergentes. Nuestro enfoque se basa en la prevención más que en la reacción; fortaleciendo la colaboración con agencias de seguridad pública, mejorando la preparación de los miembros del personal y garantizando que las medidas de seguridad física y conductual se complementen para apoyar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro.En conjunto, estos niveles de prevención, preparación y respuesta ayudan a garantizar que cada escuela de HSD siga siendo un lugar donde los estudiantes y los miembros del personal se sientan seguros, valorados y listos para aprender.Obtenga más información sobre el enfoque integral en la seguridad de HSD en hsd.k12.or.us/keepingstudentssafe y hsd.k12.or.us/safeandwelcoming.Nuestro estudiante destacado es Andy Alonso García, estudiante de octavo grado de la Escuela Secundaria Poynter. Es el único estudiante en Oregón que ha recibido una beca a través del prestigioso Programa de Becas Juveniles de la Fundación Jack Kent Cooke, el cual ofrece mentoría y acceso a oportunidades educativas rigurosas durante el resto de su trayectoria en la escuela secundaria y preparatoria. El mentor de Andy, quien reside en Virginia, viajó a Oregón en septiembre para recorrer Poynter y conocer a Andy, su familia y sus maestros. En noviembre, Andy viajará a Virginia para visitar las instalaciones de la fundación y conocer más sobre el programa en el que participará a partir del próximo verano. Andy expresó estar muy contento de haber recibido la beca. Actualmente está interesado en convertirse en ingeniero aeroespacial o civil. ¡Bien hecho, Andy! ¡Nos haces sentir orgullosos de ser HSD!La publicación de Noticias de la Semana se elabora y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y a los miembros del personal de HSD cada semana durante el año escolar.

En este episodio de Herejes, exploramos un tema oscuro y doloroso: los sistemáticos abusos sexuales y el encubrimiento dentro de la Orden Jesuita. A través de un análisis detallado, desenterramos la verdad detrás de escándalos que la Iglesia Católica ha intentado silenciar durante años. Puntos Clave del Episodio: El Diario de Pedrajas: Conoce el caso del sacerdote jesuita Alfonso Pedrajas en Bolivia, cuyo diario personal expuso décadas de abusos contra 85 menores. Descubre cómo la orden jesuita, en lugar de denunciar, transfirió a los sacerdotes a otras comunidades para evitar el escándalo. Abusos en Colombia: Revivimos casos impactantes como el de la familia Janaris y el sacerdote Darío Chavarriaga. Analizamos la hipocresía de figuras como Francisco de Rut, quien a pesar de su rol en la Comisión de la Verdad, no reportó los crímenes a las autoridades civiles. La Oscura Historia en América del Norte: Viajamos a Canadá y Estados Unidos para exponer el papel de los jesuitas en las escuelas residenciales y los abusos a niños indígenas. Se revela cómo la provincia de Oregón se convirtió en un "vertedero" para sacerdotes con historial de crímenes. Venta de Esclavos: Un hecho histórico que demuestra el lado más oscuro de la orden: la venta de 272 esclavos por la Universidad de Georgetown en 1838 para salvarse de la bancarrota.

An exhibit at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History in Eugene, Oreg. assembles works by Native LGBTQ2 artists that express this moment in time. It is among the hundreds of events, including parades and panel discussions, to mark Pride Month. This year's push for awareness will have to go on without acknowledgement by the federal government, which is foregoing any mention of Pride. And the annual report by the advocacy group, GLAAD, notes that while violent incidents against gay and lesbian people are down as a whole in the past year, attacks against trans citizens has significantly increased. We'll check on the status of Native Pride. Plus, we'll get career highlights of the late actor Jonathan Joss (Comanche and White Mountain Apache) who died this week.
