Reporting on the Energy BoomTelevision doc explores tribal concerns

Tune in Monday, May 18, at 9:30 pm CTWith vast deposits of oil underneath tribal lands,

all eyes are on the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. The new television documentary Black Gold Boom explores how Three Affiliated Tribes in western North Dakota is grappling with what many see as an opportunity and others view as a threat. Rancher Marty Young Bear worries about the environmental effects of oil drilling. Meanwhile, local leaders rush to form a tribal-owned oil company with the motto, “Sovereignty by the Barrel.”

This new television documentary from award-winning reporter and director Todd Melby is the latest installment in his multi-year public media project on North Dakota’s oil boom. Produced with Prairie Public, Black Gold Boom features online videos, an interactive documentary, and more than 50 radio stories—all available at blackgoldboom.com.
