As the grandson of a Native American tobacco tenant farmer, I've always struggled expressing exactly how lucky and blessed I’ve been to simply have options in my life. Hopefully, my latest, "A Family From High Plains," explains why: https://t.co/CXGhXTYNOf

Spent the last year and change working on this banger of a feature by Matt Shaer—on pig kidneys, the organ crisis, and the bravery of Rick Slayman: https://t.co/25NEzZtBiD

🔔PRE-ORDER MY BOOK NOW🔔 I’m so excited to share that my book NOTHING MORE OF THIS LAND will be out July 15, 2025 @OneSignalPub @AtriaBooks

It’s a personal exploration of Indigenous identity, from Martha’s Vineyard to Indigenous land around the world🌊

Investigative journalism sometimes presumes that sharing information publicly is a public good. But Indigenous reporters can’t make that assumption.

"If a tribal nation deems a place sacred, they shouldn’t have to break confidentiality to prove it."

The latest from our fearless IAD reporter B. 'Toastie' Oaster.

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

@daveweigel and also maybe talk to your partner (or anyone) about it a bit before you hit the bank for fifty grand, but again hindsight etc

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

Hindsight’s 20/20 and this is probably worth covering in some way, but I got this *exact same call* in September and just kept asking questions and being like “hmm, you sure?” until they got sick of me and ended the call. https://t.co/oe1YtEcxbh

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

Friday news dump: This week was my first as a Senior Editor at National Geographic; also, I live in D.C. now.

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

@thatsMohrlikeit It’s a five minute walk away and I went on day 2 (and 3 and…)

[Alastair Lee Bitsóí @AlastairBitsoi]

JUST IN: My latest story on Indigenous Boarding Schools for @highcountrynews! This mental health provider angle is not yet told and needs to for struggling survivors! Gentle nudging. 🤎✨🪶❤️‍🩹 https://t.co/ZzKr3Psbqu

[Joseph Lee @josephvlee]

Unbelievably excited to share that I’m writing a book about Indigenous identity, Aquinnah Wampanoag history, Martha’s Vineyard, and more!! 🌅

Huge thanks to @AliaHanna @alessandra115 & @astrahousebooks for believing in this book 🌊

[High Country News @highcountrynews]

Today is a bittersweet farewell to @siisiikostagner who leaves HCN’s editorial internship today. Taylar has brought so much to the newsroom. Join us for a 🧵of her greatest hits 👇

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

New from me: I spoke with @KenBurns about
his latest film, "The American Buffalo." Our conversation, for @highcountrynews, focused on how he and his team approached the framing and inclusion of Native histories and contemporary voices. https://t.co/PA3hm5T1k6

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

me: something about ethical compromise and a nuanced reference to Thomas' chilling take on tribal sovereignty in his United States v Lara opinion

also me: why they got my man doing the Praise The Sun dark souls emote

[Nick Martin @NickA_Martin]

In late July, I had the chance to attend the James Welch Native Lit Festival (@JDubFest) — to see the fences the industry puts on Native writers torn down for a brief, beautiful moment. I wrote about the experience for @highcountrynews’ October issue: https://t.co/TM7jHdrj1u
