Houma Nation Inauguration Ceremony
People of the Houma Nation in southern Louisiana have been hit hard by the BP oil disaster. Just about everyone in the community is either a waterman or an oil man. The people I spoke with yesterday adamantly oppose the drilling moratorium, saying it will destroy what's left of the economy.
Saturday's ceremony in Dulac, just south of Houma, was for the swearing-in of the Nation's new Principal Chief Thomas Dardar Jr. Organizers say it's the first time in years that the Nation has come together so strongly for an event.
