Introducing our all indigenous female leadership

Native Daily Network’s current work focuses on community rooted education, ecological stewardship, and relationship based participation.

Through Bee Watered, we build pollinator corridors, support neighborhood stewardship, and create hands-on ecological learning rooted in Tacoma and Pierce County.

Alongside this work, we develop training and learning spaces that help people participate in community, leadership, and support with clearer roles, deeper responsibility, and greater respect for those closest to the issue.

Together, these efforts reflect our larger purpose: protecting Uŋčí Maká, elevating Indigenous knowledge and lived experience, and helping people build stronger relationships with land, water, community, and one another.

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 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 active in the preservation of our culture, 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 television show in the 1970s and helping shape the field for those who came after her. Inspired by her and my family’s generational changemaking, I founded Native Daily Network with my husband, Darren.
We serve as environmental caregivers, cultural witnesses, educators, and storytellers committed to elevating Indigenous voices, caring for our Uŋčí Maká, and helping communities build stronger relationships with land, water, and one another.
This work is not only organizational. It is personal. It is an act of love for our communities, our relatives, and the generations who will inherit what we leave behind.
