Yellow Bird: Tribes and media must work together
Monday, May 3, 2004
"For a reporter, getting a good story isn't always as easy as it might seems. When people in the headlines don't want publicity, they can pull their heads in and close their mouths tightly. That certainly is understandable for people who are in trouble. Over the years, tribes and Indian people have become more hesitant about the media because they have been poorly portrayed. Yet, for tribes and American Indians, educating the public is important. If they don't say their piece, misunderstanding and misinformation will continue to plague tribes." Get the Story:
