December 2, 2025, is Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity, unleashing the power of radical generosity to transform communities and the world.

The award-winning daily public media programs National Native News and Native America Calling are produced and distributed by a Native nonprofit, Koahnic Broadcast Corporation, which was founded 33 years ago to address the lack of Native Representation in media. Native nonprofits like Koahnic often do not receive the recognition and support that they need.

On this Giving Tuesday, please and donate now to support our work. Visit bit.ly/GiveKoahnic (case sensitive) or text Koahnic to 41444. Thank you!

On Indigenous Peoples Day, we're revisiting this portrait of Hän Gwich’in and Sicangu-Oglala Lakota model and Indigenous activist Quannah Rose Chasinghorse that was taken by Nat Geo photographer Kiliii Yüyan—himself of Nanai/Hèzhé ancestry—when he was asked to create an image that encapsulated the idea of Native sovereignty for the July 2022 issue of National Geographic.
