Savannah Maher joined Wyoming Public Media in June after working on NPR’s midday show Here & Now, where her work explored everything from Native peoples’ fraught relationship with American elections to the erosion of press freedoms from tribal media outlets. A proud citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, she’s excited to get to know the people of the Wind River reservation and dig into the stories that matter to them.

Savannah got her start in journalism reporting from her hometown’s local newspaper (Mashpee Enterprise) and public radio (WCAI), and has since contributed to New Hampshire Public Radio, High Country News and NPR’s Code Switch blog. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2018.
