Communities, tribal nations and cities across Minnesota celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday, Oct. 13. 


MPR News editor and guest host Leah Lemm talks with reporters from our Native News team about how they cover Minnesota’s Native communities, tribal nations and people every day. From cannabis to land return, cultural events and arts, they’re steeped in Native journalism all year long.


Guests:


  • Melissa Olson is an award-winning reporter for MPR’s Native News team. She is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe.
  • Chandra Colvin is a citizen of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa and a member of MPR’s Native News team. She started at MPR News as an intern and now covers Native American communities in Minnesota for us through Report for America, a national service program that places journalists into local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities.
