About Me


I'm all about Natives in the Media, whether it be print, radio, TV, Film. The only reason I got into the media is because of how under represented our people are. Natives just as much as any other ethnicity deserve a voice in the media. But no matter what tribe you're from, WE ARE under-represented in the Media. Just turn on the channel to CNN, you WON'T SEE one issue about Natives! If you wanna know the truth, it's just another form of oppression. When we aren't given our own voice to tell any story from our point of view, how can we help our people if we don't even know what our issues are? If we had our own media to stay on top of what's going on all over Indian country, we could easily make a difference. But the media coverage we get outside our own newspapers is bad media. We're still portrayed as the drunk savage indian. -Tell me that isn't oppression! We NEED more natives in the media. People stand up. So that's what I'm about - supporting all Natives in the media, trying to make a difference. **To everyone who shows my page love, Thanks for all the comments, messages, and uplifting words. I think I have the BEST myspace FRIENDS!!! You guys are awesome!!! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!! ... ~
