Phoenix's founding editor, was harassed and ultimately was assassinated. His own people considered the newspaper an outsider, and tribal politicians argued that he and the newspaper were instruments of public policy. Trahant writes: "The story of The Phoenix illustrates the central quandary of tribal journalism today. Does a tribal newspaper serve its community by printing discourse? Or does it aid the enemies of tribal government by revealing a community's weakness? This debate is no more resolved now than when Boudinot died. It is also one of the reasons for the success of independent newspapers, such as Tim Gia-go'- s Indian Country Today and Paul DeMain's News From Indian Country." Other American Indian contrib- utors Boudinot was not the only one w ho died for his ideals. Trahant says Boudinot's uncle. Major Ridge, also died in an ambush near the Arkansas border and that his cousin was stabbed to death by raiders. But a seed had been planted. Ridge's son, John Rollin Ridge, w ho witnessed his father's murder when he was 12 years old, wrote about the Gold Rush and Indian affairs for newspapers in Texas, Louisiana and California. He also shared bylines with Mark Tw ain and Joaquin Miller. His pen name was Yellow Bird, a translation of before. Some Americans were expected to arrive early this week in Kaposvar, Hungary, to set up a transit point.

The newspaper's ownership was then transferred to her mother. Mary Eddleman. who had a good business sense and contracted with the Associated Press. Trahant says it was the first paper in the Indian Territory to do so. It had more than .000 subscribers by 1898. Myrta, who married former printer Walter Sams, founded the magazine. The Twin Territories. Ora, who was 18 years old, was hired as editor. The publication covered Indian history and drew heavily on talented Indian authors.

Clinton was unyielding. "No, I don't think the treaty is in trouble, and no, I don't think the treaty has to be renegotiated," he said. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, speaking on ABC-TV- 's "This Week With David Brinkley," also emphasized that the accord brokered in Dayton, Ohio, "will not be changed, it will not be modified" to meet Bosnian Serb objections about the future of Sarajevo. He said NATO forces do not expect organized resistance from the Serbs. President Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia "understands he has a responsibility to get them under control and we expect him to carry out that responsibility," Christopher said. Milosevic, who initially stoked the Bosnian war by supporting Serb rebels, later became a peacemaker to win an end to U.N. sanctions punishing his country for instigating the bloodletting. 4 The forecast calls for little change in pollution levels with a clearing index of 1.000 plus and there is little change in the trend.
