ABOUT THIS SPECIAL REPORT
  • "Katrina, Rita and the Houma" special report is the product of a new reznet project, in which journalism students — Mary Hudetz, a Crow reporter from the University of Montana, and Martina Rose Lee, a Navajo photojournalist from Arizona State University — are teamed with veteran professional journalists — Victor Merina, a former Los Angeles Times investigative reporter, and multimedia journalist Steven A. Chin — to produce an in-depth story on a complex issue of importance in Indian Country.

Music performed by Treater.
