Native American Journalists Association annual conference over and ignored
The 25th annual Native American Journalists Association conference ended this weekend in Albuquerque, N.M. The July 31 to August 1 conference attendance was lower than usual with some 200 people attending. More over, the silver anniversary was totally ignored by the mainstream press, according to Richard Prince of the Maynard Institute.
I didn't attend the conference given other responsibilities that ranked higher than attending the event.
