Course covered most of the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee from
the Oglala Lakota reservation in South
Dakota and nearby Nebraska. In 1974, he
began nurturing future Native journalists and was
founder of several newspapers including the
Confederated Umatilla Journal, the
Manataba Messenger, and the CERT Report.
He then returned home and worked for a number of years as
assistant editor of the Yakama
Nation Review. La Course also served on the Editorial
