SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ They're powerful words routinely used to describe people living on American Indian reservations: poor, violent, alcoholic and obese.
But students at one high school on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota have a message: They're more than that. About 50 students at Todd County High School have made a YouTube video to refute claims about reservation life portrayed in an ABC special featuring the Pine Ridge reservation. The students' video, titled ``More Than That,'' has been viewed more than 35,000 times. Feather Colombe (KO'-lohm) is one of the students featured in the video. She says she wanted to make it to combat stereotypes. Colombe and other students have been invited to a Native American education conference in Washington next month to present the video.
