Adrianna adame biography of george washington

Indigenous affairs coverage has been growing in recent years, as more news publications (ahem) discover the value of hiring Native reporters and editors, and as the public awakens to the richness, complexity and importance of current events in Indian Country. And yet the sheer volume of urgent and untold stories far outweighs the number of reporters and editors working to publish them. Which makes it exciting to watch this field grow.

At HCN, we like to think this beat requires a certain panache — an acumen that can’t really be taught but can be learned over time. Few non-Native writers in America, for example, would dare to mention that George Washington dallied in ethnic cleansing; it takes an Indigenous gall to acknowledge that historical fact. But non-Native reporters can still do excellent work by immersing themselves in the worldviews and stories of the people living outside of America’s most ludicrous assumptions about itself.

Here’s a sampling of Indigenous affairs stories from other publications that we’ve admired over the past year.

Calls for change: Advocates in North Dakota urge transition from First Nations Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day

This story was filed on from Bismarck, N.D.

As North Dakota prepares to celebrate First Nations Day, tribal citizens are calling for a transformative shift to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, aiming to honor the state’s rich American Indian heritage while challenging the narratives tied to Columbus Day.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is not a legal holiday, but for the last three years, President Joe Biden has issued a federal proclamation recognizing the day in honor of American Indians across the United States. It is observed annually on the same date as Columbus Day, the second Monday of October, which falls on Oct. 14 this year.

To honor the Indigenous peoples of North Dakota and their contributions to the state, the governor delivers an annual proclamation designating the Friday before the second Monday in October as First Nations Day, which North Dakota celebrates instead of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
