OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Don’t move rocks in tribal, park waterways
I drive by the Oconaluftee River, on the Qualla Boundary, multiple times daily and I frequently take walks on the Oconaluftee River Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It seems that as tourism increases in late spring and summer, a practice increases – one that damages river ecosystems for many species…moving and stacking rocks.
COMMENTARY: Take control
The Tribal Council is considering legislation that will revise the existing law regarding elections
SPEAKING OF FAITH: God’s Samson Course
“Samson had tremendous potential. Not many people have started life with credentials like his.
SPORTS ᏍᎦᏚᎩ

Posting a record of 31-7 this past year, Nika West coached the Springdale Har-Ber High School Wildcats to a second place finish in the first-ever Arkansas Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association 6A/7A Dual State Championship.
ON THE SIDELINES: Women’s sports deserve more respect
I do not like to dogpile on an issue, but I’ll make an exception this week. Sports Illustrated’s Andy Benoit tweeted “women’s sports in general not worth watching” on June 22. I not only completely disagree with Benoit, I must ask what sports is he watching?
