We’re pleased to announce the launch of the ICT Report, a new weekly, half-hour national radio news program from ICT (Indian Country Today), the nation’s largest Indigenous-led nonprofit newsroom.

Beginning September 7, the ICT Report brings trusted Indigenous journalism directly to radio listeners, with the week’s top stories and interviews with Indigenous leaders and changemakers. The ICT Report delivers reporting on the issues shaping Native communities, from sovereignty and elections, to culture, health, education, gaming, social justice, and the environment.

 

Hosted by Miles Morrisseau, a Métis journalist and multimedia producer from Manitoba, who began his career with CBC Radio in Winnipeg in 1985. A veteran Indigenous affairs broadcaster and former editor-in-chief of Indian Country Today, Morrisseau has covered major stories including the Oka Crisis and the Mohawk Gambling War. He has produced documentaries for CBC and APTN and helped launch Streetz FM, the first radio station by and for Indigenous youth.

ICT National Correspondent Kevin Abourezk traveled recently to Ioway Territory in Kansas to report on a cultural buffalo harvest as part of the larger food sovereignty movement in Indian Country. At the end of the day he was offered the opportunity to taste the bison’s heart. “As a Lakota man myself, it was a very powerful moment,” he said.

The ICT Report brings you stories, news and perspective from Indigenous Nations and communities from across the continent – every week. You’ll get invaluable access and insight into the profound resurgence of Native culture and values spreading throughout Turtle Island.

ICT Mountain West Correspondent Pauly Denetclaw, Diné, sits with Buddy Pocknett from the Mashpee Wampanoag Natural Resources Commission. Denetclaw visited for three days to learn about Mashpee leadership in land conservation and waterway management.

From the land return revolution to language revitalization and economic development, the Indigenous Worldview is rising – for the benefit of Native communities and as an example for others about how we might survive and thrive on the planet.

Join us each week.

Senior Producer Shirley Sneve, Ponca and Sicangu Lakota ran into Smokey the Bear while on assignment covering a mining protest in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She maintains that Smokey told her the “the Black Hills are not for sale” but she didn’t get in on tape so we might never know.

Listen for Kevin’s, Pauly’s, and Shirley’s reports in upcoming episodes of The ICT Report.

Injune, Queensland, Australian cowboy Damian Brennan is not only as a saddle bronc rider on the rodeo trail, but also as a working cowboy chasing cattle across the vast outbacks of the land down under.

Since 2021, Damian has amassed three Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifications, finished runner-up to the world title, claimed second in the NFR aggregate, and earned over $1 million in prize money. Beyond the arena, he remains a classic gentleman and a devoted ranch cowboy, shaped by the wide landscapes and big herds of his Australian homeland.

It is a very interesting and inspiring story—one of a man following his dreams halfway around the world in our beautiful and blessed America.

Reframing The Holidays: Toward Justice and Peace

Peace Talks Radio explores efforts to rename and reclaim holidays like Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, and Veterans Day.

When there are false narratives behind those holidays, it can be hurtful and harmful. Those stories might be covering up painful truths; the holiday names can be used to promote the political agendas of those in power.

Mahtowin Munro (Oglala Lakota), co-leader of United American Indians of New England, organizes a National Day of Mourning each year on Thanksgiving. She’s also campaigned to transform Columbus Day into Indigenous People’s Day. And former US Army ranger turned war resistor Rory Fanning is part of a campaign to give Veterans Day back its pre-1954 name: Armistice Day.

Mahtowin Munro and Rory Fanning

Peace Talks Radio is the flagship series of Good Radio Shows, Inc., a non-profit media organization dedicated to producing programs that inform, inspire, and strengthen the human condition. The series blends artistry with social purpose, using voice, sound, and storytelling to promote understanding, healing, and practical, nonviolent approaches to resolving conflict.

Enduring Freedom – Honoring Native Women Veterans

Enduring Freedom – Honoring Native Women Veterans offers a rare and powerful look at a shared history through the voices of Native women who served. Recorded in the early 2000s, these veterans reflect in their own words on their experiences in the U.S. military — from the challenges of service and the prejudice they faced as women and as Native people, to the pride of representing their Nations and communities.

You’ll hear the voices of Arlene Manuel Wall (Pima, deceased 2009), Sandra K. Tiger (Seminole, Cherokee), Carol Buckles (Pima Maricopa), Michelle Bowman  (Gila River), Rita Aragon  (Cherokee, Chocktaw), and Geri Wisner-Foley  (Mvskoke Deer Clan).

While little has been written about the role of Native women in the armed forces, we know they have served with distinction in every conflict, from the time of first contact with Europeans to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and in ongoing global missions today.

Written and produced by Peggy Berryhill (Mvskoke, Bird Clan), this landmark documentary from the Native Media Resource Center honors the courage, resilience, and enduring contributions of Native women veterans.
