Help The Circle Recover & Preserve Native History

FIRE RECOVERY & ARCHIVE PRESERVATION FUND

A recent fire at the building housing The Circle’s office has created unexpected challenges for our independent Native newspaper.

Thankfully, with the help of community members, we were able to recover our newspaper archives dating back to the 1980s. These irreplaceable records preserve decades of Native community history, cultural knowledge, and stories.

Your donation will help The Circle recover from the fire, protect our historical archives, and continue sharing Native voices for generations to come.

Every contribution makes a difference.

Pinagigi — Thank you for helping preserve generations of Native stories.
