Nika Bartoo-Smith (Oneida and Osage descent) is a joint reporter with Underscore Native News + ICT.

Nika Bartoo-Smith covers Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest for Underscore News and ICT. Our Living Lands Producer Daniel Spaulding spoke with Bartoo-Smith about her work and the impact of climate change on tribes in the region.

“We're in crisis when it comes to climate,” Bartoo-Smith said. “And there's a lot of really important [young Indigenous] leadership that I continue to see emerging.”

I joined Boise State Public Radio as the Indigenous Affairs Reporter and Producer for Our Living Lands, a weekly radio show that focuses on climate change and its impact on Indigenous communities. It is a collaboration between the Mountain West News Bureau, Native Public Media and Koahnic Broadcast Corporation.
