  • Good good

    Did you know Brett Kavenaugh has some bad views on Native sovereignty? Cause this is the only news source I heard that mentioned. Anyway great podcast, short, but I like it that way.

  • Short but informative!

    Very often, I hear a passing mention in the mainstream news of an issue I’ve already heard covered in more depth here. These stories are so important, and I wish every American were hearing them.

  • National Native News

    The podcast is quite short - 5 minutes, but is packed full of information. It’s great to hear about news from other states about tribal and Native happenings.
