Environmental groups, immigration activists, and a Native American tribe are suing to stop the construction of a harsh outdoor migrant detention camp in the Florida Everglades, known as 'Alligator Alcatraz.' They argue that required environmental studies were skipped.

Tribal communities risk losing local libraries and the history they hold amid DOGE cuts Federally recognized tribes say the Trump administration cut the grant money they use to sustain the local libraries that serve as anchors in their most rural communities.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified by the Trump administration that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.

Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold. 📚

I want to stand by the river in my finest dress. I want to sing, strong and hard, and stomp my feet with a hundred others so the waters hum with our happiness. I want to dance for the renewal of the world. -

I listen to Native America Calling everyday and I also love to hear Chanupa’s input. He and I were born on the same day and same year. I was born due south of Pine Ridge in Nebraska.

This was tough to watch! It is beautifully made documentary about the atrocities committed by the mandatory boarding schools for indigenous people, run by the Catholic Church. films.nationalgeographic.com/sugarcane

I’m a retired music teacher and had to be on my feet all day, every day. At some point I got into running and shopped for good running shoes. Those shoes also worked best for me when standing. Now, I never wear any other shoes. Go to a shoe store for runners and find what feels best for you.

Thank you! I used to teach music and technology at the St. Francis Cathedral School. I’m not Catholic either, but it was my job to make sure the kids knew their songs for Wednesday’s mass. I recorded this when they were in the process of replacing the benches in the chapel.
