The NFL's dullest play, the extra point, appears to be headed for some changes, perhaps significant ones, for the 2015 season. While team owners didn't vote on any extra-point proposals Wednesday, there was so much discussion and interest in potential changes that the issue will be a main focal point for the next set of league meetings in May. "There's a clear movement to wanting to change and change it this year," said Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee and president of the Falcons. http://www.startribune....
When a case involving marijuana wax first landed on Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie’s desk, he called upon Google to assist in the investigation. “I had never heard of it,” Leslie said. That was two weeks ago. On Wednesday, state law enforcement officials and St. Cloud and Duluth police chiefs gathered to warn about what they’re calling a dangerous new trend in drug use. A highly concentrated form of marijuana, wax contains two to six times more THC, marijuana’s active ingredient, than the drug in its original form. http://ww...
The Minneapolis school board is planning its next steps in hiring a permanent superintendent, months after Bernadeia Johnson’s abrupt resignation in December. Since her December announcement, school board members — most of whom are new to managing this type of hiring — have been mapping out their plan for permanently filling the position, which includes selecting a search firm and planning community engagement. http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/297553091.html...
NEW YORK — Some of the most familiar names in ketchup, pickles, cheese and hot dogs are set to come under the same roof after H.J. Heinz Co. announced plans Wednesday to buy Kraft and create one of the world's largest food and beverage companies. The deal would bring together an array of longtime staples in American kitchens, including Oscar Mayer lunchmeats, Jell-O desserts, Miracle Whip spreads, Ore-Ida potatoes and Smart Ones diet foods. http://www.startribune.com/business/297495491.html...
WASHINGTON — Distractions — especially talking with passengers and using cellphones — play a far greater role in car crashes involving teen drivers than has been previously understood, according to compelling new evidence cited by safety researchers. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analyzed nearly 1,700 videos that capture the actions of teen drivers in the moments before a crash. It found that distractions were a factor in nearly 6 of 10 moderate to severe crashes. That's four times the rate in many previous official estimates that...
U.S. Rep. John Kline is asking for an almost $60 million increase in funding to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in as part of a recent push to end many of the unsafe conditions in Bureau of Indian Education schools across the country. As the chairman for the Committee on Education and the Workforce, Kline’s letter to the Committee on Appropriations requests $133.2 million for education construction in the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the next fiscal year — a $58.7 million increase from Fiscal Year 2015. In his letter, Kline cites the Bug...
Amid free Mexican food and fair-trade coffee on Thursday afternoon, 10 powerful Native American tribes will convene to discuss an industry with the potential to transform their respective nations: cannabis. “The Future of Marijuana and Tribes” meeting, hosted by Santa Fe law firm Blaze America, will offer information on every aspect of pot regulation, from lobbying to taxes to profit. There will likely be skeptics, but ganjapreneur-types too, asking questions that may not have answers just yet. But one thing will be abundantly clear—the green...
WINNIPEG — Canada’s national chief says Winnipeg police should have done their job and kept a 15-year-old girl safe in the hours before she was last seen alive. Perry Bellegarde of the Assembly of First Nations says police failed to protect Tina Fontaine when they came into contact with the missing teen days before her body was pulled from the Red River. Fontaine was in a vehicle pulled over by two officers more than a week after she was reported missing last summer, but she was not taken into custody. http://www.thestar.com...
Family members of Tina Fontaine are reeling from news that two Winnipeg police officers who saw and spoke with the 15-year-old girl not long before she disappeared, but let her go, will not face charges. The Winnipeg Police Service launched an internal investigation last fall after discovering that the two officers came across Fontaine during a traffic stop on Aug. 8, 2014 — a week after she had been reported missing — but did not take her into custody. The officers apprehended the driver of a vehicle that Fontaine was in, but let the mis...
PINE RIDGE, S.D. - The Oglala Sioux Tribal Council has approved a resolution banning all businesses on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from selling the Rapid City Journal after the newspaper published a headline the tribe found objectionable. Tribal spokesman Kevin Steele says the ban will stay in effect until the newspaper apologizes for a headline that questioned whether a group of Native American students stood for the pledge of allegiance at a Rapid City Rush hockey game. Those students allegedly had beer spilled on them and were...
During the week before the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, in Winnipeg, opened last September, a knot of people stood outside a teepee opposite the colossal, glass-swaddled $350 million edifice. They handed out brochures advertising another museum—one without alabaster railings, interactive digital displays, or wealthy donors. The cheekily named Museum of Canadian Human Rights Violations is housed in a boxy, blue hockey arena on an island in Shoal Lake, 150 kilometres east of Winnipeg. http://thewalrus.ca/sucked-dry/...
Patrick F. Duffy, superintendent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Fort Thompson, South Dakota on the Crow Creek reservation, was stabbed Wednesday in his office, according to sources on the reservation, in the BIA and among those who know Duffy. Duffy, who grew up in Fort Pierre and lives in Pierre, was taken first to the Sanford Hospital nearby in Chamberlain, a hospital employee told the Capital Journal. He later was transferred to Sioux Falls in stable condition, a relative of Duffy told the Journal. http://www.capjourn...
POCATELLO, Idaho - A civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court Wednesday claims the Fort Hall Agency Bureau of Indian Affairs is defrauding members of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe. The suit, filed by tribe member William Beasley, alleges outsiders are being admitted to the tribe and allowed to collect benefits intended for legal members. “They're not born here. They don't have the Shoshone-Bannock descendancy,” said Beasley. But Beasley claims the BIA is admitting them anyway. http://www.localnews8.com/news/federal-lawsuit-cl...
DOWAGIAC, MI -- Two Pokagon Tribal Police officers are being recognized for their efforts in saving a girl's life. Officers Trent DeGroff and Kevin Slater were honored at a recent Tribal Council meeting in Dowagiac for their "quick thinking and professionalism in saving a life," according to a news release from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi. In February, DeGroff and Slater responded to a call in Watervliet on the report of a girl who was in full cardiac arrest. They arrived within moments of the call where the father was administering CPR....
WASHINGTON – Keanu Jones just wanted to tell stories of his Navajo people when he picked up a camera several years ago, never thinking that his “simple 3-minute film” would bring him all the way to the White House. “It’s incredible,” said Jones, 18, whose film was one of 15 selected from around the country as part of the second annual White House Student Film Festival. Jones, a senior at Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, said he hopes his film on his family’s daily struggles helps raise awareness about the fight for water and other nat...
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has filed new charges against the defendants in a stabbing death on the Wind River Indian Reservation last year. In the second superseding indictment, prosecutors added to the original charges that, if convicted, already carried life sentences for Susan Lynn Chippewa, Jaymes Leo Whiteplume and Byron Robert Spoonhunter for their involvement in the death of Jared Dean Little Whiteman. In September, Chippewa, Whiteplume and Spoonhunber were charged with aiding and abetting first degree murder. They pleaded not guilty i...
(U.S. SENATE)-Senator Jon Tester released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to reauthorize the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA), an initiative that awards block grants for tribes and tribal housing authorities in order to make investments in housing in Native American communities. "Today we are a step closer to addressing the lack of housing in Indian Country, and it's critical the Senate now reauthorize these initiatives as quickly as possible," Tester said. "There is...
