Special Report

KATRINA, RITA AND THE HOUMA
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.

Herman and Nita Demoll live in a FEMA trailer with their two grandchildren in Lower Plaquemines Parish. Five other trailers are on the small lot with theirs, and they share the close quarters with 13 other people. Though they’ve dealt with such conditions for months, they say their lives are not normal, not as good as they once were.
