Joanelle Romero, an actress of Apache/Cheyenne descent, has accomplished many things in her life. In 1977, she was the first person to star in a movie about a contemporary American Indian woman. Only three such movies have been made since then, she said: "Lakota Woman," "Naturally Native" and "Imprint."
In 2006, Romero introduced the Red Nation Television Channel. So far, the channel is Web-based, with content such as syndicated news, documentaries and music videos. But her goal is more ambitious than offering multimedia on the Net. "We want to be--we will be the next Indian HBO/CNN," she declared.
This Fox is no yapping dog

Romero's reaction to my article:
This is so wonderful, thank you so very much. I'm so humbled by this, and it made my day--thanks for the hope....
