Watch this week’s Halito from High Country News where Staff Writer Toastie rounds up a year's worth of Halitos. Consider it a highlight reel. Toastie is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. “Halito” is the Choctaw greeting for hello.
This was a big year for us at Halito. The series turned one, and a whole bunch of talented people came on board to help make it happen! Our graphic designer is Marissa Garcia. Ariyon Daily runs our social media accounts. Our executive editor is Gretchen King. We’ve had some fantastic guest hosts like Theo Whitcomb, Nick Martin, KHowe and Michael Leveton. Plus, for every story we feature, the writer or editor pitches in to help with the scripts. So big thanks to ALL of them for keeping Halito going. Let’s look at some highlights from the last year (or fifteen months).
