I'm writing to inform you that we are denouncing Indian Country Today (ICT). We will no longer buy ICT, because of is bias reporting of the grass roots issues. Time and time again we have informed your reporters of very important issues, that effect the well being of our people. You have failed to report issues and over reported issues that are detrimental to our people. We thought that ICT was the voice of the people, in the name of the people. This has gone on long enough.

Your promoting of predators, like (name withheld), who is misleading and exploiting our tradition and people. In turn you are misleading and exploiting our tradition and people. These actions our causing great harm to Indian country and your our giving us a bad name. It makes us wonder if that is what your intentions are.

We only ask for fair and equal reporting, but that has not happened. How do you sleep at night knowing that you are only hurting our people. And if you are Indian you ought to be a shamed of yourself. But maybe you are not and maybe you are only impersonating or what we call a rubber stamp. You may think that we are nothing and deserve nothing, but without our people buying your paper you would be nothing.

Therefore, I am informing our people far and wide of your actions and ask them to stop patronizing with Standing Stone Media Inc., publishers of Indian Country Today. And remember what comes around, goes around. Note to the people, that have complaints on ICT.
