Native News Online[3] is an Indigenous-American focused news publication owned by Indian Country Media Network.

Native News Online was founded in 2011 by current publisher and editor Levi Rickert, a tribal citizen of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, who has covered multiple stories in Indian country as a journalist over many years.[4][5] The Democracy Fund has described Rickert as "push[ing] ahead to fill his Native News Online website with fresh content seven days a week.[6]

The daily news outlet reports on events and new that has an impact on Indigenous American communities including American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Alaska Native peoples, among others.[7]

Native News Online has been used as an expert source on subjects relevant to the Indigenous people of North America including inter-tribal concerns.[8][9][10] Native News Online has been examined in academic case studies of Indigenous journalism as "one of the most-read daily American Indian news publications."[11]

Native News Online is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1]
