"Indians, Indians...come out, come out where ever you are! We want to study you", says the local newspaper. A little late seeing as the event to take surveys & collect info from the surviving Indians...is tomorrow! I only accidentally found it.

I'm certain that the Minority Commision wants to "help" these minorities. Perhaps help them get set up for grants, contracting work and monies already earmarked for Minorities in SC. However, whoever is spearheading the PR campaign is not shining very well right now.

I have seen nothing online except this lone article. I have seen NO public service announcements, heard radio spots...nothing.

I am not criticizing their efforts, it just goes to prove my point - when you really want to help someone YOU SCREAM IT FROM THE RAFTERS AND ROOFTOPS - get "grass roots" on it if you have to!

Lame attempts to announce "we're here to help you so come out and participate on short notice" is just not enough to be considered a real effort.
