I subscribe to "Rockies Today" and, boy, am I glad I do

Rockies Today compiles "The big stories up and down the Rocky Mountains, curated by Mountain West News." What that means is that every day I get an email with the top headlines. To be fair, I don't always have a chance to dive into it, but when I do, I find gems, many of which look at historical events or movements to explain the present. For example:

• This story from KUER, a Utah NPR affiliate about the American Prairie Reserve, "How big money is building a new kind of national park."
• The High Country News feature "The U.S. stole generations of Indigenous children to open the West Indian boarding schools held Native American youth hostage in exchange for land cessions" or the Minnesota Public Radio News feature "'I've never told anyone': Stories of life in Indian boarding schools."
• "A battle over Superfund coming to the U.S. Supreme Court," a collection of articles on how a case coming out of Butte has the potential to neuter Superfund.

I also find articles about Indian Country and sovereignty. For example:

• Two stories about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement and fears that the Keystone Pipeline will bring more sexual violence to nearby reservations (one from the Montana Free Press and the other from The Revelator, a publication of the Center for Biological Diversity, and
• "Tribal sovereignty and coal mine reclamation clash," a collection of articles about the dispute between the Navajo Nation, which owns "Montana’s largest coal mine," and the State of Montana, which refused to grant an operating permit if the tribe didn't waive sovereign immunity.

I wouldn't have time to find these stories on my own but am always richer for having read them. If that sounds like you, you can subscribe to get regular emails. You might also assign your students to find articles of interest simply by visiting the website.
