Guest Opinion We have one week left to speak out against the Trump administration’s latest violations of our treaty right to education, and therefore Tribal sovereignty. Right now, the Department of Health and Human Services is proposing changes to the national Head Start program, which serves tens of thousands of Native and Alaska Native children.

One proposed change would require all Head Start programs to comply with state and local regulations, expanding local jurisdiction over a Tribe or Tribal organization.

Opinion With the recent controversies surrounding the iconic John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, I found myself thinking about a special evening I spent there with Native Americans from across Indian Country on July 1, 2022. Before a sold-out audience of more than 1,150 people at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater, dozens of Native American actors, dancers, singers, and other artists came together for a two-hour performance called We The Peoples Before.
