Special Report

KATRINA, RITA AND THE HOUMA
ABOUT THIS SPECIAL REPORT
  • "Katrina, Rita and the Houma" special report is the product of a new reznet project, in which journalism students — Mary Hudetz, a Crow reporter from the University of Montana, and Martina Rose Lee, a Navajo photojournalist from Arizona State University — are teamed with veteran professional journalists — Victor Merina, a former Los Angeles Times investigative reporter, and multimedia journalist Steven A. Chin — to produce an in-depth story on a complex issue of importance in Indian Country.

Brenda Dardar Robichaux, principal chief of the Houma Nation, converted the ground floor of her home into an office for tribal relief efforts and for months, her yard was filled with visiting volunteers’ tents.
