WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) emphatically condemns the hateful, genocidal statement of Ann Coulter on July 6, 2025, through a post on the social platform X, declaring: “We didn’t kill enough Indians.” There is no place in society for this direct incitement of hatred and violence toward American Indian and Alaska Native people.

SIMNASHO, Warm Springs Indian Nation -- Radio Free Simnasho launched today, bringing grassroots voices online, and honoring the American Indian Movement.
Quiltman said the Columbia River water is being used by corporations, and the water is becoming too warm for the salmon. Electricity from the huge data centers are making the water too warm for the salmon.
Quiltman said that when the salmon were harvested, the fishermen's hands were glowing green. He described how dams are damaging the flow of salmon.
Welcoming listeners, Quiltman and Govinda shared the sounds of John Trudell this morning. They'll be working on the solar panels to power the grassroots radio station.
