The importance of how we use our discourse

Lisaury Diaz Opinions Editor We use language to express ourselves, whether it’s spoken, signed or written language. The way in which we express ourselves, refer to others and tell stories says a lot about our identities as well as how we view both the people and world around us. This plays an important role in how we use our discourse. Dr. Nicki Lisa Cole defines discourse as, “how we think and communicate about people, things, the social organization of society and the relat

Natives at war: The Pequots

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor You may recognize the Pequot tribe as the owners and operators of Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

Look around, though, and you will find that just about all of the casino names and decor showcase Indigenous herit

How to be culturally appropriate on Halloween

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor Halloween is a time of fun, a time of tricks and treats, a time to dress up and scare your friends and family. It’s exciting for children and adults alike. The onset of the Black Lives Matter movement, the Land Back movement, and even the recent awareness of Indigenous residential schools, has made it obvious that minority populations are making themselves known. These populations have voiced numerous times their concerns on cultural a

The worker’s revolution needs our support

Tyler Jackman Anchor Staff Writer The COVID-19 pandemic changed the paradigm of the United States in more ways than one. As lockdowns rapidly swept through states, workers in the country faced mass layoffs, lost wages and economic turmoil. Since the workforce conditions began to cool down from the COVID-induced troubles, workers returned to their previous inadequate normal — and companies have begun to reap more profits than ever. After a year of chaos and uncertainty in 2020

Samantha Gervais Anchor Staff Writer During my time writing and meeting the fantastic people I have, I’ve heard a plethora of stories from my peers. The good, the bad and the ugly. One such story leads me to write this one. As I sat in the media office with our talented photography editor, we talked about the growing problem that is human trafficking. Never in my lifetime did I think that human trafficking would affect me in any shape or form or even become a problem for me,

Deep Red is deeply terrifying!

Michael Mollicone Business Manager Old films aren’t scary. If you agree with this, you’re clearly unfamiliar with the ultra-stylized, savagely gory and vehemently terrifying Italian slasher genre known as “giallo.” These Euro-horror pictures boomed overseas in the mid-sixties to the early-eighties due to their provocative, unrestricted and unforgiving nature. Regarded as the best of this genre is Dario Argento’s magnum opus, “Deep Red” (1975). Kicking off the action, a clairv
