OPINION: Banning books erases Native voices and experiences Book banning is not new. A small minority seeking to decide and limit what the majority can access and read has existed for millennia.

The book banning of Indigenous stories in libraries has impacts on readers| Removal of their stories continues the erasure of histories and contributions of Native Nations and their citizens

Wado for sharing, Becky! I am so grateful for the work you and other librarians are doing on a daily basis to ensure our young people and communities have access to ALL books.

What an incredible experience to create another #audiobook with fellow Cherokee people and record it within our reservation. Grateful for this wonderful review from @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social and to @liveoakmedia.bsky.social who always produce such quality works for young people to enjoy!

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

The transfer of trillions from bottom to top could not be clearer. #TrumpTrillionsTransfer

Loved celebrating fellow #Oklahoma authors at #2025OKBookAwards - including three Cherokee women winners❣️ I asked kidlit finalists to sign books I donated at my last school visit yesterday. All kids got a copy of Otsaliheliga. I made it home just before the bad storms - and dalala visited! #grateful

Indigenous scientists are fighting to protect their data — and their culture They’re worried about the loss of their research.

Great coverage of our mutual aid network across the US-Canadian border moving Indigenous data so it's safer.
