Grand Forks Herald Columnist Doreen Yellowbird Is A Treasure
1 Comment Published by gwen September 18th, 2008 in Energy, North Dakota People.At least in my mind. Take a look at the list of issues she has covered in the past few months…
My favorites from the list linked to above:
- Oil on the Fort Berthold Reservation, published this past May (the Fort Berthold Reservation sits over the Bakken oil formation)
- Exploring Traditional, Healthy Food–chokecherries and corn, in this case
- North Dakota Tribe at a Turning Point with Oil–my favorite post so far, because Yellowbird states so clearly that there is a danger in getting too rich too quickly.
Yellowbird addresses everything from her way of life to the upcoming presidential elections and educational issues in North Dakota. I hope I have the chance to visit with her in person some day.
I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A friend has been sending me Doreen’s columns and I would like her to know how much I appreciate them. She IS a treasure for ALL of us, not just Grand Forks. Thank you Doreen!
