Ak-Chin Indian Community members recognized this occasion on December 7 during a private event held at the Masik Tas carnival. The following day’s celebration was held at the Service Center and was open to all Ak-Chin Indian Community employees.
The celebration included a short film documentary, with current and former Ak-Chin Tribal Council members and employees of the Ak Chin O’odham Runner discussing the newspaper’s history. The documentary discussed how news used to travel among the villages before the newspaper began publication in 1987.
The Ak Chin O’odham Runner offers stories about community events, education, sports, tournament competitions and winners, profiles of community leaders and residents, news about community enterprises, advertisements from local businesses, and more.
During the anniversary celebration, printed front pages from previous issues of the Ak Chin O’odham Runner were posted throughout the Service Center. Employees could read about moments from Ak-Chin Indian Community history, including the opening of Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, when the Service Center was remodeled, or when the Ak Chin O’odham Runner building burned down.
Today’s newspaper is led by editor Raychel Peters and includes a team of three photojournalists, two graphic artists, and a news assistant. The Ak Chin O’odham Runner staff looks forward to several more years of highlighting news from the Ak-Chin Indian Community![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
