• America 250: The Croatoan (islandfreepress.org) — Hatteras Island’s Croatoan roots take center stage in this deep dive into the Hatteras Indians, their semi-tropical homeland, and how their skills shaped today’s island culture and even local roads. The story follows explorer encounters, life in Croatoan, and Manteo’s remarkable role as an early ambassador, tying Hatteras history to America’s 250th anniversary themes of freedom and common ground. 
• Gov. Josh Stein visits Ocracoke, hears firsthand about ferry and access challenges (islandfreepress.org) — Hatteras residents’ vital ferry link to Ocracoke got high-level attention as Gov.
