The Crisis in Covering Indian Country  The Nelson Institute, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Award-winning journalist and tribal citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, Jenni Monet has spent her career writing about Indigenous rights. In fact, she received top honors for her coverage of the Dakota Access Pipeline battle in which she chronicled the movement for six consecutive months, resulting in her arrest and ultimately her acquittal. “The Crisis in Covering Indian Country,” will explore the things Monet has learned along the way and discuss topics such as misrepresentation and erasure of Native Americans in the press, the absence of Indigenous journalists in newsrooms, and why media representation matters in understanding important issues such as violence against Indigenous women in Indian Country, an issue central to Monet’s current investigation.

We’ll talk with her about what’s missing from big media and what it means.

But as undisputed Native journalists, leaders and spokespeople continue to be called upon to weigh in on the question, real issues facing Indigenous people and nations are overlooked and ignored.
