Dakota Case

Dakota has a story to tell. From a rough start, and against the odds, he has turned his life around and now works to use his experience for 'the betterment of the people.' Some remember Dakota from the streets, some know him as a father, and others as an activist and changemaker. Whichever it is, he stays rooted in ceremony and is focused on pursuing his dream which is to positively influence youth into a path of service and cultural preservation. Dakota is also our point person for environmental and tribal justice issues in and around his homelands.

She has had speaking engagements on topics from the environment to MMIW. A natural creative, she is always looking for innovative solutions. Frustrated at what she sees as misinformation in the education system when talking about native people, she wants to help develop a series of videos aimed at kids to teach the 'basics.' Ohitika Win was an Assistant Editor on the documentary Ancestral Waters 2022.


Our Story

Native Daily Network was founded in February 2016 by Benita Moore and her husband Darren

In 2015, the devastating loss of my eldest son to gun violence to another native man lit a fire within me. The tragedy crystallized the urgent need to address the complex issues that put our Indigenous communities at risk. 

Stemming from a lineage that has been active in defending Indigenous rights since first contact, and propelled by my family’s media history, I felt a deep calling. My aunt, Dr. Harriett Skye, was a groundbreaker in Indigenous journalism, hosting her own TV show in the 1970s and leaving an indelible impact on the field. Inspired by her and my family’s activism, I founded Native Daily Network.

We serve as environmental guardians, cultural preservers and a media amplifier, fiercely committed to elevating Indigenous voices, advancing education, and protecting Uŋčí Maká (Grandmother Earth).  This mission is not just organizational; it’s deeply personal, an act of love and resistance for the future of our communities.
