<\/P>\r\nThis is a tough piece to write. Weighing upon my mind for a few days \u2013 ever since advised about Tim Giago\u2019s passing. A comment or two is in order, me somewhat discombobulated. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nI have heard about his stellar career \u2013 Nieman Fellow meeting with American Presidents, getting the Washington Redskins and other teams to change names; drawing attention to the boarding school problems, establishing the first Native American Day, etc., but I only relate to personal association.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nIt has my honor and privilege to be associated with Tim Giago for 17 years. For most of that time it was from afar \u2013 emails and telephone calls.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\tNative Sun News Today: Tim Giago carved out a lasting legacy in Indian Country\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Tim Giago wore many hats in his long, eventful life. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, a sailor, a poet, a businessman, an entrepreneur, a talk show host, a journalist, an editor, an author, and a publisher.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/P>\r\nAfter surviving six years in Northern Cheyenne tribal politics, four on Council, and then the first woman elected as Tribal Vice-President, I was pert near done in. At that time, women were not even supposed to speak in public, yet I dared to do that, though it did no apparent good.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nAfter you get bounced out of tribal politics it is hard to get another tribal job. Yet a grant opportunity showed up, encouraging Indians to become entrepreneurs. I thought to myself \u2013 what could I do? Perhaps put pen to paper.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nThus, I started a small-town weekly reservation newspaper.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nHow hard could that be?\r\n
