Giago founded The Lakota Times newspaper on the Pine Ridge Reservation. It became Indian Country Today, which was the largest independent Indian newspaper before being purchased by the Oneida Nation of New York.
Giago went on to start The Lakota Journal before his retirement in 2004. He continues to publish his "Notes from Indian Country" column in media outlets across the nation, including Indianz.Com and The Huffington Post.
Giago is the first Native American in the South Dakota Newspaper Hall of Fame.

Why what? Why Giago is the first Native American in the South Dakota Newspaper Hall of Fame? Presumably because he started a major newspaper in South Dakota.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any further information, please provide it. Your attempts at character assassination are about as worthless as your other opinions.
Comparing my lengthy critiques to your fawning fan raves, the real question is whether you will ever wonder why. Why so many of your screenplays haven't been produced, for instance? Perhaps because you're not as smart as you think about what constitutes good storytelling.
