The Southern Ute Drum staff welcomed the Jicarilla Chieftain newspaper (Dulce, N.M.) to their Ignacio office on Tuesday, Nov. 19, sharing advice and ideas for production. Similar to the Drum, the Jicarilla Chieftain covers issues and topics important to their Tribal membership through print media. The Jicarilla Chieftain toured the office space and photo studio gaining insight to the software and equipment used by the Southern Ute Drum staff; feeling inspired, the team hopes to grow their newspaper and expand into digital content by developing a website and social media presence.
