Yellow Bird: A newbies guide to North Dakota Indians
Monday, July 12, 2004
"I had lunch with one of those new Southerners who is joining North Dakota's population. Robert Potts is the new chancellor of the North Dakota higher education system. Potts will be the new Larry Isaak, who moved on to a new job in Minnesota.
Potts has settled in Bismarck, not far from the Missouri River, he said, and seems wide open to learning about our state.
For me, what I would like him to know - he will learn about our weather, some of the people and land soon enough - is the uniqueness and importance of the state's largest ethnic or minority population, American Indians."
