First story at AIJIBy Charles Pulliam

Jacquelyne Taurianen’s journey to the American Indian Journalism Institute’s summer program started from Detroit Metro Airport on June 2.

“The two people I was sitting next to (on the plane) were kind of funny at first,” Taurianen said, “But it just became more and more awkward.”

She boarded a plane to Minneapolis with a connecting flight to Sioux Falls, S.D. that followed. Her final destination was Vermillion, S.D.

She is a first time AIJI student from Clinton Township, Mich.
