We’re excited to announce the release of the Summer 2026 issue of The Circle!
This issue explores the theme of Resilience & Resistance – two ideas deeply rooted in Indigenous history and reflected in our communities every day. Resilience is found in preserving our languages, cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Resistance takes many forms, from advocating for our rights and protecting our lands to supporting one another and ensuring future generations continue to thrive. Together, these stories celebrate the strength, determination, and enduring spirit of Indigenous peoples.
Inside this issue, you’ll find powerful stories from Native voices, highlighting community leaders, artists, advocates, culture bearers, and organizations making a difference throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, and across Indian Country.
Whether you’ve been reading The Circle for years or are discovering us for the first time, we invite you to explore this issue and share it with your family, friends, and community.
