Tim Giago

Tim Giago (born 1934) is an American Oglala Sioux who is from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He founded the first independently owned Indian newspaper in the United States.

In 1979, his "Notes from Indian Country" in the Rapid City, South Dakota "Journal" became the first Indian voice in a South Dakota newspaper. In 1981, he began the "Lakota Times". In 1998, he sold the paper (now called "Indian Country Today" to the Oneida Nation. Over the years that he ran the paper, a number of native Americans who worked for him later became successful in journalism. During his writing and publishing career, Giago has won the H. L. Menken Award, the University of Missouri Distinguished Journalism Award, and a Harvard University Neiman Fellowship.
