Indian Country Today’s daily newscast
On Wednesday’s ICT Newscast, we are nearing the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act. We check in on the record number of Indigenous nominees at the upcoming Canadian Screen Awards. A Nipmuc musician and photographer shares his work, the Tohono O’odham Nation takes the reins of its horses by learning about farrier skills
This year marks 100 years since President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act into law. At the time only half of Native Americans were already considered citizens of their state or the united states. While this act granted citizenship to Native Americans, it did not immediately ensure equal rights. ICT political correspondent Pauly Denetclaw has more.
In many indigenous languages, there is no word for art. And for one Nipmuc man, it’s his life work. Shirley Sneve has this interview with Hawk Henries–a photographer and flute maker.
This Friday, the Canadian Screen Awards will be given out. This year a record number of nominees are Indigenous. Miles Morrisseau caught up with Kerry Swanson from Canada’s Indigenous Screen Office to mark this milestone.
A tribe in southern Arizona is teaching its community a trade that is not widely known. The Tohono O’odham nation to learn more about farriers, which are individuals who specialize in care for horse hooves. Cronkite news reporter Denzen Cortez has the story.

It is not a Right to vote, it is called a Privilege to vote… when you except the Privilege, that quazi contract requires you to pay taxes. This is why you sign your name "All rights reserved"! This reserves the rights that they don't tell you that you do have! Lightfoot
