| Project Description The project came out of much thought and discussion with myself, Mary K. Bowannie, and other Native American Journalists across the country. I wanted to develop a class that included the nuts and bolts of how to create a newspaper but with a tribal twist. I wanted the student to not only learn abou the history of the Native American Press, but to also see the importance and place a Native publication has in the Nation Building, a key focus of the Native American Studies program at UNM. Instruct the students on the history and importance of the Native American press and Native American media. Provide general nuts and bolts instruction on how to publish a student newspaper. Have the students learn by doing and to also see first how the publication and operation of The Navajo Times newspaper and press. Create a Native American Student publication that will become a permanent publication within the Native American Studies department. Eligibility Students with journalism and media, layout design, art and computer technical experience are encouraged to sign up for the course. Students are also encouraged to have taken NAT AM 150 before enrolling in this course.
