Article about an organization, based almost entirely on primary source referencing to directly affiliated member organizations with virtually no evidence of reliable source coverage. The only source here that counts for anything at all is Indian Country Today (#10), which isn't enough sourcing to carry a WP:GNG claim by itself -- otherwise, this claims to have "media" coverage which is actually blogs and podcasts, not reliable sources. Wikipedia does not exempt activist organizations or their projects from our reliable sourcing requirements just because they do good work -- something like this has to have a range of media coverage that clears WP:ORGDEPTH, and does not get to park its notability on blogs and podcasts and its own self-published content about itself.
