Alot of the lack of media coverage stems from the tribal leaders dictating what can and cannot be filmed.They are barring reporters from going off main roads on the reservation,they cannot go and interview people at their homes,things like that.I have even heard that they confiscated film from reporters and cameramen that only showed a makeshift memorial that had started.
I guess freedom of the press does not cross borders of the reservations.
Crazy. I guess I could see them protecting their privacy. You got any links?
