What Happens When a Language Is Forgotten?
In many communities like the Cherokee Nation, elders hold the last memories of words that have been spoken for generations.
These words carry stories, traditions, and the voices of ancestors across the United States.
But today, some languages are at risk of fading as fewer young people learn them.
Elders say when a language is forgotten:
• Stories can be lost
• Traditions become harder to pass on
• A part of identity slowly disappears
That’s why many communities are working to teach these languages again.
👇 Question for you:
Should Native languages be saved before they are lost forever?
Comment YES or NO

A Native American student wears traditional beads and jewelry to school.
School says:
📚 “It doesn’t match the uniform.”
Family says:
🪶 “It represents our culture.”
For many Native communities, traditional items are not just accessories…
They represent identity.
Family history.
Tradition.
Some people believe school uniform rules should apply equally to everyone.
Others believe cultural expression should be respected.
So here’s the question 👇
Should Native American students be allowed to wear traditional beads or jewelry at school?

In June 1876, during the Battle of the Rosebud, a young Northern Cheyenne woman named Buffalo Calf Road Woman rode directly into gunfire after seeing her brother, Comes in Sight, thrown from his horse and surrounded by soldiers. With bullets flying around her, she pulled him onto her horse and carried him to safety. Her bravery inspired Cheyenne warriors to regroup and push back against U.S. forces in a battle the Cheyenne later called “The Fight Where the Girl Saved Her Brother.”
Just eight days later, she rode into battle again at Little Bighorn.
According to Cheyenne oral history passed down through generations, Buffalo Calf Road Woman struck the blow that knocked General George Armstrong Custer from his horse during the chaos of the fight. Many Cheyenne families and historians continue to honor this account, even though official Army reports and many early historical writings ignored or dismissed Indigenous testimonies, especially those involving women warriors.
For decades, mainstream history largely erased her role. But among the Cheyenne, her courage was never forgotten. Songs, stories, and oral traditions preserved the memory of a woman who fought not only to protect her family and people, but also against the forces trying to erase Indigenous identity and resistance from history itself.
After the Plains Wars, Buffalo Calf Road Woman and her family were forced onto reservations alongside thousands of other Native people displaced by U.S. expansion. She died young, likely in her thirties, but her legacy endured through the stories her people continued to carry forward.
Today, Buffalo Calf Road Woman is remembered as one of the great Indigenous women warriors of the Plains. Her story stands as a reminder that many Native women played critical roles in history, even when official records chose not to acknowledge them.

He also served as the first president of what would become the National Football League. (U.S. Department of the Interior)
He even won a ballroom dancing championship. (BIA)
Born on the Sac and Fox reservation in Oklahoma. Raised with the values of his Nation. Carrying his heritage into every arena he ever entered.
In 1999, ESPN named him Athlete of the Century. (NPR)
Decades before Bo Jackson. Decades before Deion Sanders. There was Jim Thorpe — the original.

cannot think that we are useless, or that God would not have created us." These powerful words of Geronimo resonate across generations, reminding us of the intrinsic value of every human life. He speaks of a singular, watching God, a divine presence observing all, ensuring that no person or moment is insignificant. We are all children of this one God, connected by the shared gift of life, bound by the elements that surround us—the sun, the darkness, the winds—all listening to our thoughts, our struggles, and our voices. This perspective teaches humility, reverence, and awareness of the sacred balance between humanity and nature. In a world that often diminishes voices and histories, Geronimo's words serve as a call to honor identity, culture, and purpose. They remind us that no one is truly without worth, and that our existence matters not only to ourselves but to the universe in its vast, listening entirety. Let these words inspire reflection, courage, and respect for one another and for the natural world, as we continue to carry forward the wisdom of those who came before us, and embrace the sacred responsibility of being part of a greater whole.

TRIBAL EDUCATION: INVESTING IN INDIGENOUS FUTURES 📚
Congress preserved Indian education funding for 183 schools and 33 Tribal colleges and universities, sustaining teacher staffing, Native language and cultural programs, scholarships, and connectivity for remote learning (Friends Committee On National Legislation) .
This matters because education is sovereignty.
What tribal education means:
🎓 Native languages being taught and preserved
🎓 Cultural pride in classrooms
🎓 Indigenous youth leading their own futures
🎓 Communities strengthening from within
🎓 Self-determination through knowledge
And there's more progress:
Montana universities expanded their Native American tuition waiver to include tribal descendants, opening educational pathways to nearly 1,400 additional students (Inside Higher Ed) .
Education isn't just about getting a degree—it's about reclaiming identity, protecting culture, and building strong nations.
Every Indigenous student deserves:
✊ Access to education
✊ Cultural connection
✊ Language preservation
✊ Community support
✊ A future on their own terms
Invest in tribal youth. Invest in Indigenous futures. Support Native education.

PECHANGA TRIBE WINS WATER JUSTICE: BIPARTISAN BILL PROTECTS TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY 💧
U.S. Senators and Representatives from both parties have introduced bipartisan legislation to update the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians Water Rights Settlement Act, making targeted revisions to address the Tribe's current trust lands and modern water quality challenges, including emerging contaminants like PFAS (Native News Online) .
This is what tribal victory looks like.
What this means:
✊ The bill protects tribal sovereignty and public health while supporting the Tribe's long-standing stewardship of the Santa Margarita River Watershed (Native News Online)
✊ Federal government finally listening to tribal needs
✊ Water quality protection for Indigenous communities
✊ Tribal leadership recognized and respected
✊ Modern challenges being addressed
Pechanga didn't give up. They fought. They organized. They demanded justice.
And now Congress is listening—with BOTH Democrats and Republicans supporting tribal water rights.
This is how we win. This is tribal power. This is sovereignty.
Stand with tribes. Demand water justice. Support tribal leadership.
