Beat: Native American issues in Green Bay and Wisconsin

Position:

Wisconsin is home to 11 federally recognized Native American tribes. Yet there is little to no coverage of tribes in the state. There is no shortage of critical issues to examine. Substance abuse, domestic violence and suicide are social problems affecting all Americans that are most severely felt on reservations. Conversely, there are equally important positive – and often untold – stories coming from tribal business enterprises.
