The Native News Honors Project is reported, photographed, edited and designed by students at the University of Montana School of Journalism. This is the 20th annual edition.
The school appreciates the counsel received from journalist Mark Trahant, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, who for the past year has been a Kaiser Media Fellow studying the Indian health care system, and to Jennifer Cooper, legislative director of the National Indian Health Board, who is a member of the Seneca Nation. Financial assistance for the project came from St. Joseph Medical Center, The Missoulian, and the School of Journalism.
