Wheelock, Richard Martin. "Indian Self-Determination: Implications for Tribal Communications Policies," American Studies Program, University of New Mexico, October 1995.
This dissertation documents the problems tribes face under the federal Indian Self-Determination Policy begun in the early 1970s with particular emphasis upon communications issues the policy has created. Issues of whether and how tribes might benefit from participation in the mass media are explored using the models of modern “tribal” and “mass” societies as points of reference. Case studies of the Kalihwisaks, the official publication of the Oneida Tribe of Indians in Wisconsin, and the 19 Pueblo News, once published by the All Indian Pueblo Council, provide grounding for analysis of tribal communications options in intratribal, intertribal, and interethnic communications domains.
