Browse the brief
Entry points into the archive and the working tools, each organized differently.
- Nations The twelve Wisconsin Native nations plus pan-Indigenous nations the brief returns to.
- Topics Persistent beats — treaty rights, Line 5, manoomin, Ice Worlds, MMIW, ICWA, language revitalization, and more.
- People Named people the brief tracks — Patty's collaborators, leaders in Indigenous journalism, and figures who recur in coverage.
- Dates Curated anniversaries — this week, this month, and round-year remembrances.
- Sources Where the brief reads from, organized by tier.
- Books Patty's four books, chapter by chapter. Each chapter aggregates the curated outdated items, related brief stories, and Background research items relevant to a future edition.

- Feedback Anything you'd change about the brief or the workshop. Anything that's working. Anything you want next. Brooks reads what's new each session.
