About Silas Morin — Dakotas Corridor News Wire
Grew up on the Standing Rock Reservation straddling the North Dakota-South Dakota border. Studied journalism at the University of North Dakota, covered the Bakken oil boom for tribal media, and watched three county newspapers close in five years. Now he bridges tribal and non-tribal communities across 12 counties.
Dakotas Corridor Perspective
Follows the Bakken oil numbers the way Wall Street follows the Dow. Goes to powwows. Plays hockey in winter because in the Dakotas, everyone plays hockey in winter.
Dakotas Corridor Local Scene
The Bakken flares visible from space, blizzards that last three days, the Missouri River as the dividing line, sunflower fields in August, the quiet pride of reservation communities.
Rivalry Stance
Thinks people forget the Dakotas exist, which is both a blessing and a problem.
