  • Red Lake School Board takes drastic measures at Red Lake Middle School

    Jul 5, 2012

    On Monday, July 2, 2012, the Red Lake School Board passed a resolution directing Superintendent Wymore to apply for a School Improvement Grant using the Turnaround Model for the Red Lake Middle School. With four (4) separate options, the Board, voting 3-1, chose to reassign the current Middle School principal and 12 of the 24 Middle School teachers. Twelve new teachers will be hired by the Board in August. The Middle School was not listed as a Turnaround School until this year--which is what...

  • Letter to the Editor: Electricity

    Jul 5, 2012

    To The Editor: The recent storm and its aftermath remind me of history, culture and of lost or forgotten knowledge. As we celebrate "Independence Day," I can't help but reflect on our lack of "Independence." We have an extraordinary dependance on electricity. We speak of reliance on television or computers, but the real dependance is on fossil generated electricity by far…and my goodness do we take it for granted! Without electricity, I went to bed and got up at a sane and reasonable hour. I listened to loons, frogs, birds, and the wind rustl...

  • Some Bemidji area residents still lack power

    Kayla Prasek, Bemidji Pioneer|Jul 5, 2012

    BEMIDJI – Power company crews continued to work on restoring power to the Bemidji area Wednesday as another storm rolled through the northern part of the county, knocking out power to about 1,500 customers. Both Otter Tail Power Company and Beltrami Electric had crews out in full force on the Fourth of July holiday. As of early Wednesday evening, less than 200 residents in the Bemidji and Cass Lake areas were still without power, Cris Kling, Otter Tail’s director of public relations, said. The company hoped to only have 50 residents...

  • Study: American Indian education stalled

    Conrad Wilson, MPR|Jul 5, 2012

    St. Paul, Minn. — A report out Tuesday says the academic progress of American Indians is, for the most part, not improving. The National Indian Education Study found roughly one-half to two-thirds of fourth- and eighth-grade students score at, or better than basic reading and math levels. The findings for Minnesota follow the national trend. "Statistically the achievement for this subpopulation of students is flat," said Jack Buckley, the commissioner for the Center for National Education Statistics. "They're not making any progress." The...

  • Without the First Americans, There Would Be No U.S.A.

    Jul 5, 2012

    As a kid, to me the Fourth of July was all about one thing: fireworks. I grew up in the country in the Dakotas, where lighting off fireworks was pretty much a rite of passage for reservation kids. Roman candles, firecrackers, smoke bombs, artillery shells, and oft dreaded bottle rockets are still sold from make shift stands and big top tents on rural roadsides all across the prairie. Sure, in school we read about George Washington, Paul Revere and the Revolutionary War, but as Natives, we felt pretty disconnected from mainstream American...

  • More Pow, More Wow! Fireworks Have Turned Into a Good Seasonal Business for Many Tribes

    Jul 5, 2012

    With the July 4 holiday approaching, thousands of visitors are expected to flock to reservations in the West in search of fireworks they cannot buy at home. There they will often find the spectacular devices the federal government classifies as 1.4G or consumer fireworks, formerly called Class C—bottle rockets, Roman candles, mortar shells, M-80s and blackjacks. The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe sells “some fireworks with more gunpowder, more bang than the ‘safe and sane’ devices” allowed by the state of Washington, says Matt Mattson,...
