Native Americans Have Second Highest Skin Cancer Rate, New Study Says

A new study published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology shows that Alaska Natives and American Indians (AI/AN) have the second-highest rates of skin cancer behind the white Americans. The study corrects the underreporting of melanoma in Native communities, driven by frequent misclassification of race in data collection. “The study results suggest that additional research could help to clarify why some non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native people have higher incidence rates of melanoma,” researchers wrote in the study.

These are the things that make us Indigenous | Revitalizing the Yavapai-Apache Languages

Growing up, Gertrude Smith (Yavapai-Apache) was shamed for trying to learn her language. For the first time in nearly 30 years, efforts to save the Yavapai-Apache languages are being made with the launch of online dictionaries and picture books featuring Dilzhe’e (Apache) and Wipukpa-Tolkapaya (Yavapai) languages. Smith spearheads the tribe’s language revitalization by providing culture, art and language classes through the Yavapai-Apache Cultural Resource Center.

Coalition Urges Haaland to Move Forward with Protections for Greater Chaco Region

The Greater Chaco Coalition is calling upon Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) to follow through with her promise to protect the culturally significant Greater Chaco Region in New Mexico. In 2021, in response to callouts from Tribes, Pueblos, and environmentalists, Haaland launched the Honoring Chaco Initiative, a two-phase initiative involving the 10-mile mineral withdrawal around Chaco Culture National Park in northern New Mexico from future leasing and mining claims for the next 20 years. The area includes an expansive stretch of northwestern New Mexico that includes locations that are culturally significant to New Mexico Pueblos and area Tribes.
