When funders with open minds meet with “moccasins on the ground” in healthcare and nutrition advocacy, bold ideas and revolutionary strategies can result. That’s what happened in early May in Minneapolis, when the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and the American Heart Association convened nearly 200 American Indian tribal leaders, community organizers and national philanthropic organizations to talk about food and health in Indian country.

The rising tension at a large St. Paul charter school mirrors the clashes nationally between school leaders and charter school teachers who try to unionize. Teachers at Community School of Excellence say school leaders’ plan to fire 20 teachers, most of them union members, was a union-busting move. School leaders disagree, but reinstated some of the fired teachers this week. http://www.startribune.com/nationwide-union-pushback-at-charter-schools-hits-in-st-paul/383364011/...
ORLANDO, Fla. — Embracing grieving Orlando families and appealing anew for national action, President Barack Obama claimed a threat to all Americans' security Thursday as a strong reason to tighten U.S. gun laws. Counterterror campaigns overseas, he declared, can never prevent all "lone wolf" attacks like the one that killed 49 people in Orlando. Speaking at a makeshift memorial to the victims, Obama said the massacre at a gay nightclub was evidence that "different steps" are needed to limit the damage a "deranged" person set on committing v...

WASHINGTON — Advocates for Alaska Native children are cheering a new federal regulation that they say could help keep Native children from being removed from their communities. The new regulation, which will go into effect at the end of the year, is meant to provide more consistent and stricter interpretation of the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act — a law designed to counter the high rate of Indian and Native children being removed from their homes and communities, and put into foster care or adoption with non-Native people. htt...
Bernie Sanders profusely thanked his supporters. He said he looked forward to working with Hillary Clinton to advance key issues. And he urged like-minded followers to run for state and local offices so they can continue the “political revolution” he began. In short, during his 23-minute speech live-streamed across the country, Sanders sounded very much like a candidate prepared to drop out of the Democratic presidential race. Only the senator from Vermont pulled up short Thursday night, neither conceding the party’s nomination nor endor...
MANDERSON –– Vic Camp stands barefoot on the cracked bare ground that was a hemp field until that fateful hour more than a decade ago when federal agents swooped in on a crop ready to harvest and wiped it out. “It was a sad day,” he said. “I thought we were gonna be able to grow this wonderful plant. We had different businesses we were planning on, starting with oil, making our own paper, and houses from hempcrete that are cool in the summer and warm in the winter.” http://www.nsweekly.com/news/2016-06-15/Top_News/OST_recogn...
We were at the graduation ceremony for the Harbor City International School in Duluth, Minnesota and the keynote speaker was Gaelynn Lea Tressler. She is the winner of the 2016 NPR Tiny Desk Concert series and she knows about and exemplifies overcoming hardships and truly appreciating the things we take for granted. She is beautiful and eloquent and she speaks from a position only she can speak from and she sings and she plays her violin from somewhere deep in her soul. She talked to the graduating high school seniors and she talked to our son...
WINDOW ROCK – If Native Americans had a communal Facebook page, their relationship status with tobacco might say, “It’s complicated.” Archeologists believe indigenous Americans have been cultivating tobacco since about 1 B.C., using it in ceremonies and for medicinal purposes such as dressing wounds and curing toothaches. By the time indigenous Caribbeans discovered Christopher Columbus, the herb was well entrenched in their culture. It didn’t take Europeans long to pick up the habit, and within a century finding suitable climates to cultivate...
