"A student report detailing discrimination against Native Americans is drawing strong reaction across Northcentral Montana.
That's especially true in Havre, which was the focus of a particularly candid story.
University of Montana journalism honors students produced the special report, which was distributed across the state in May by the Tribune and other daily newspapers.
The story about Havre detailed how patrons at one bar harassed four Native Americans until they left. It quoted the bartender on how to tell a "good" Indian from a "bad" one. And it included comments from a clothing store clerk on how she watches Indians more closely to avoid theft.
Such incidents are despicable. They are not, however, confined to Havre.
Racism can and does happen anywhere."
