Non-Natives have long held a role in “Indian media.” Were it not for the efforts of early historians, linguists, ethnographers, and dare I say anthros and others that interacted with Indians even at later times (think Richard Erdoes, and other good white guys that befriended holy men to tell their stories), we likely would have an unworkable, even further diminished record and foundation of our histories, songs, stories, and lan...
