Mohawk Tribe blasts 'Chief' editorial

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2002

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and a New York newspaper are criticizing The Wall Street Journal for a biased editorial.

"Shame on you," The Middletown Times Herald-Record writes of the March 1 editorial that portrayed Gov. George Pataki as a "Chief" and a "Great White Father" who went to a "pow-wow" with tribes that want casinos.
