My name is Louis Montclair, and I'm a reporter/photographer/page designer for the Fort Peck Journal in Poplar Montana. I've been working here for the past year now. I'm a 2003 graduate of the American Indian Journalism Institute and a 2007 graduate of the University of Montana School of Journalism. I've worked for the Lincoln Journal Star, the Missoulian, and the Fort Peck Tribal paper the Wotanin Wowapi. I've been into journalism since I was a child, and I've gone through Project Phoenix in high school and Native Voice a few times in college. I've also done the AP Diverse Visions Project in 2004, and the Unity Convention Student project. I cover every type of news you can imagine, from the small stories about every day people to the huge ones that effect everyone.
