Sources

The brief reads from 31 sources organized into four tiers. Tier 1 is Wisconsin tribal voices, Tier 2 is national Indigenous press, Tier 3 is Wisconsin and regional general press where they cover tribal beats, and Tier 4 is federal and legal. The curator weights Tier 1 highest. When a story appears in both a Native publication and a mainstream one, the brief leads with the Native source.
