The Organization of North American Indian Students at Northern Michigan University founded the Nishnawbe News newspaper in 1971. It quickly gained the reputation of being one of the leading Native-American-run newspapers in the country, and its circulation eventually grew to more than 8,000, with issues sent worldwide. In just two years, the Nishnawbe News would grow into the second largest Indian publication in North America, receiving national acclaim in publications like The New York Times and Time magazine. Following a decrease in funding, the printing of the publication was halted in 1983. |
