Summary/Abstract: The present article focuses on one of the few publications that addressed the Romanian public from the Ciuc-Odorhei-Trei Scaune region in the interwar period. Familiarizing the general public with the issue of the local Romanian minority from Harghita-Covasna-Mureș counties is a long and arduous process, fact proven by the present state of the topic in the public sphere: even nowadays their problems and the challenges they face are still under-reported, both by mass media and elite discourse. From this perspective, the article aims to highlight some of the main ideas promoted in the "Neamul nostru" newspaper, to get a better understanding of the type of interethnic coexistence between Romanians (dominated local minority) and Hungarians (dominant local majority) that took place in the interwar timeframe. From a methodological standpoint, the newspaper was filtered with the help of content analysis instruments and the conclusions prove to be useful for the present day understanding of the relationship between the two ethnic groups in Transilvania and also the (low) quality of the state intervention in the area.
