Please help us identify good candidates for the American Indian Journalism Institute at The University of South Dakota, June 2-21. College students who have completed their freshman year and who will return to college in the fall are eligible. The program is open to native students regardless of where they live or the college they attend.The program gives students an introduction to journalism in a three-week universityapproved course. Tuition, room and board, fees and other related expenses are paid. Students who successfully complete the program receive 4 semester hours of credit and a $500 scholarship/stipend when they return to their school in the fall.
The nomination process is simple. Send a letter to my attention explaining why you think the student would be a good candidate for the institute and the student’s address. Selfnominations also are accepted. When we receive the nomination letter, we then will send an application and further instructions. Early nominations will be given preference, although we would like to receive nomination letters by April 15.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in Vermillion. Thank you for helping to spread the word and for offering encouragement and support to students who are potential journalists. The American Indian Journalism Institute will train the next generation of Indian journalists and give an important voice to tribes. Your help is vital to ensure that deserving students are nominated and that they receive the honor of participating.

As President of Gold Coast Cutters, Inc., I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Seminole nation for their hospitality in hosting our cutting horse show on March 9th. We enjoyed the use of your rodeo facility and the concession stand furnished by your people. As always, Benny was a first class host. We look forward to putting on our third annual cutting at your facility next year.KC Townsend

Hello, My name is Kristi Grimmitt. I just wanted to write and say how much me and my family enjoyed our stay at The Big Billie Swamp Safari. My family and I visited in I believe around September. We stayed a couple nights, and we all had fun on the swamp buggy, we rode the airboats too, but it was sprinkling at the time so it was hitting us in the face. At the snake show, we had a lot of fun John is really funny.He called me out of the audience, and made me close my eyes and he put an alligator over my head, but I didn’t know what he was gonna do, but he thought I would be scared, but I wasn’t. The crew was very nice there. John was my favorite, because he made me laugh so much. Thank you for your time.

I have been traveling and vacationing in Florida since the l940’s. I have visited the Seminole villages many times, between Naples and Miami on Route 41. I am visiting Southern Florida and would like to be assured that I have a motor home site.My motorhome is 21 ft. long, and I will be using Coast to Coast Good Neighbor coupons. I shall leave within a week, and don’t know exactly when I will arrive in that area.
Could you please advise me if there will be a rv site available. Thanking you in advance.

Hello, my name is Sheila Wright. I used to sing with The Gibbs Family from Titusville, FL. I was reading about the two precious ladies Gladys and Pepper, and waves of wonderful memories came back to me about the couple of times I sang with the group at Chickee Baptist Church. I fell in love with your people (Hi Mr. & Mrs. Battiest and Henry and Dinah and precious kids and hello Rev. Payne!). I’m an ole white lady but I’ve got to say, I believe that Henry Jr., Rev. Payne and all the people there treated us like royalty (mmmm that fried bread!) Well, I’m going back and read more of your pages.God bless you,
Sheila Wright
