Updates from IMFA
News
Good journalism starts long before a story reaches readers. It begins at the tables where leaders hash out budgets, listen to citizens and vote on policy. When those meetings follow clear, fair rules, communities gain a reliable record, reporters gain clarity and the public gains trust. IMFA is committed to strengthening that chain of information across Indian Country, so we invited parliamentarian Patrick Anderson (Tlingit) and educator Basla Andolsun to translate Robert’s Rules of Order into practical guidance for Native nations and nonprofits. Their explainer offers tools anyone can adapt to fit local culture and protocol. We hope it helps your next meeting run smoothly and keeps the door open for stronger, freer Native media.
