Jayme Davis elected to North Dakota House

She also previously worked for Turtle Mountain Community College. Davis was recently elected to serve in North Dakota’s House of Representatives.

American history classes often do not include the histories of Native people. So today more and more Native authors are writing books to tell their own history such as Darren Parry. His book, "The Bear River Massacre: A Shoshone History," was just named "Book of the Year" by the history department at Brigham Young University. Parry is the former chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation.

Angel Moore is the national correspondent for APTN, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in Canada. She covers the news in the Atlantic region and is based in Halifax. She gives an update on news she’s covering including the death of Chantel Moore.
