THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2003 Sandra Donaldson, Dartmouth College: "I read the recent column by Lloyd Omdahl, which gave his opinion that Native Americans are not successful in American society. Has Omdahl heard of Notah Begay, Navajo professional golfer? Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Colo.? Dr. Spero Manson, member of the Turtle Mountain tribe, prolific researcher, and a member of the prestigious Institute of Medicine? Louise Erdrich, author of many bestselling books? Jim Larimore, Cheyenne and dean of Dartmouth College? John Herrington, astronaut and the first American Indian in space?" Letter: "I hope that our lines will not be drawn up even more defensively. As a person said to me recently, as he generously gave me a ride from St. Michael, N.D. (which is near Fort Totten, N.D.) to Grand Forks, that "we learn much more by listening than by speaking."
