'Modem Cowboys'

This week on Jackson Unpacked [June 30]: Several town governments across the Mountain West, including Jackson, are trying something new to help local workers purchase homes: offering down payment assistance. A school superintendent on the Wind River Indian Reservation discusses how the legacy of federal Indian boarding schools continues to affect Indigenous students today. Plus, KHOL Spanish-language correspondent Alicia Unger reports on why some local LGBTQ Latinos say they face extra challenges when it comes to coming out.
