Indian Country Today

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indian Country Today is a weekly U.S. newspaper which describes itself as "The Nations' Leading American Indian News Source." Focusing on news of interest to the Native American community, the newspaper was founded in 1981 by Tim Giago in Rapid City, South Dakota. In 1988, it was purchased by Four Directions Media, Inc., which is owned and operated by the Oneida Nation of New York. They are also the owners of a very successful casino operation, the Turning Stone Resort and Casino. The newspaper is headquartered in Canastota, New York.

[edit] Notoriety

Indian Country Today gained unanticipated notoriety when an editorial titled "Hurricane Katrina uncovers a tale of two Americas"[1] was quoted by South African President Thabo Mbeki in a 2005 letter for ANC Today.[2]
