Tour Guide Smoke Signal's staffer Ron Karten introduces a group of
high school students to the Public Information office. Through the Tribal Edu
cation office, the students took a tour of many departments last month with
career options in mind.
Additional Information: The headline in our last issue, "Mom
of Deceased Veteran Seeks Right To Sue," while technically correct,
ought to have said, "Mom... Seeks To Hold Military Accountable."
Chris Mercier indicated in our interview that her efforts were to
have a legal way to hold military leaders accountable for their actions.
