More, More, More

AIJI continued to present a host of experiences to this year's students. 

Students continue to monitor news stories that have been covered by them.  The Hyperion story, of course, was huge.  Students compared what they knew and had reported with articles from other news media. 

All were concerned with the student from this campus who had meningitis and who has subsequently died.  This was the second medical story of interest since we arrived on campus.  The first being that of University President Abbott gift of a kidney.   

  • Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)

  • A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.

  • Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
