The life of Kings

Native Sun News Today Assistant Editor
I always remember that Tim Giago used to say the life of a journalist really is the life of Kings. I learned since then it was a quote from American Journalist H.L. Mencken.
The first time I met Tim Giago was in 1999. My husband at the time, Robert Chasing Hawk, had written a column about diabetes and we had gone into the Lakota Journal office on Omaha Street in Rapid City to deliver it.
I knew who Tim Giago was, as did just about everyone else in Indian Country. I had been reading his newspapers, Lakota Times, Indian Country Today and Lakota Journal since the early 80’s. In fact my step-father Alvin Fast Wolf worked for Tim delivering papers and used to write a weekly column called the “Wondering Wolf.” The only thing I didn’t know that day, when I finally got to meet him in person, was that Tim would become my mentor, my muse and a father figure and that he would give me opportunities that I could never have imagined.
