The Power of the Individual to Unite

Ethel Branch saw a need to help Hopi and Navajo elders get much needed supplies to the remote reservations. She created the Navajo-Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund. Microsoft founder Bill Gates called Branch one of the seven unsung heroes for leadership during the COVID crisis. With humble beginnings in a Lincoln, Nebraska basement, the Blythe Family (father and daughter) reflect on 45 years of service to Native Media. Mary Annette Pember reports on contentious pipeline issues in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Yvonne Russo, Rosebud Sioux, brings us a PBS animation on Zitkala Sa, who was featured on the Google homepage in honor of her birthday.
