For an update on what's happening in Native American
news, pick up a copy of
Indian Country Today. The weekly newspaper
offers its readers news and views on the issues facing native
communities. Every week, the broadsheet keeps a strikingly sharp
eye on Washington, with in-depth analysis of the various bills
moving through Congress and their possible impacts on Native
Americans. A front-page piece in the Feb. 14 issue by Jerry
Reynolds picks apart President Bush's 2008 budget proposal and
quotes House Rep. Nick Rahall saying the budget 'both debilitates
the basic needs of sovereign Indian nations and stunts the creation
of opportunities in Indian country.' -- Natalie Hudson

Dispensing with the typical clich?s of pastoral life,
Backwoods Home gets down to the
nitty-gritty details of a living off the land. The sticker seals
that protected the March/April issue were difficult to open, likely
because they expected me to have a survivalist knife on hand to
assist. Once inside however, I was rewarded with interesting
stories on growing your own food, protecting your home from
wildfires, and a rather gruesome story of wilderness dentistry
involving a carpet needle, lineman's pliers, and a lot of blood.
Backwoods Home can be delivered to your door six times a
year, wherever that door might be. -- Bennett Gordon
