As part of our yearlong DDRP program, we launched and published an award-winning,four-part reporting series called Sovereign Justice, illuminating the historical context oftribal law in the Pacific Northwest, examining cases where tribes and tribal members have used federal courts to expand their rights under federal law, and exploring the role of tribal courts in exercising the inherent rights of sovereign Indigenous nations. 14361 Underscore launched a pilot program called the Underscore Indigenous Journalism Fellowship, designed to help equip and encourage the next generation of Indigenous journalists while contributing to broader efforts to improve representation in media. We hosted and trained an Indigenous collegiate journalism student from the University ofMontana for an immersive 10-week internship, while also fully paying for the students transportation costs and housing while in Portland, plus a scholarship upon completion. The program is in its second year this summer.? Note on number of people served: Our work reaches tens of thousands of people both through our own website/dissemination platforms and through republication by a wide range of news outlets across the region and country. 429651 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false OR X Casey Pearlman 5037547486 1200 NW Nato Pkwy Portland OR 97209 X Erin Dysart Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stacey McQuade-Eger Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Francis IV Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mago Torres Secretary 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcella Miller Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stone Hudson Chair 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Casey Pearlman Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 421733 421733 225 225 421958 225 0 0 X 211932 190739 14835 6358 18974 18974 19217 17296 1345 576 20748 18674 1452 622 4804 4522 282 124272 124272 1679 1679 5097 4587 357 153 14808 14808 5068 5068 109 109 1016 1016 8753 7877 613 263 Apps and Subscriptions 7517 6765 526 226 Office Expense Reimbursement 10785 9706 755 324 Business Registration Fees 220 220 Telephone and Internet 2199 1979 154 66 1580 1580 458778 429651 20539 8588 201260 155397 11953 1205 1705 10748 202965 166145 50 50 50 50 X 202915 166095 202915 166095 202965 166145 -36820 0 X false false false X 382156 421733 803889 382156 421733 803889 578642 225247 142 225 367 804256 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11953 1205 10748 10748 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The completed Form 990 is reviewed by the board before filingUnderscore will share the Form 990 with its Board of Directors via email.
