DULUTH – Every day, Rachel Goodsky reaches for a well-worn paperback of spiritual meditations for American Indians. She used to reach for beer when she got stressed or angry or tired or lonely. A 12-pack on an average day. A 30-pack when she wanted to get drunk. Now she and her husband, Brad, have to prove that they can be sober parents to their three children, ages 7, 8 and 9 — or potentially lose them forever. http://www.startribune.com/an-american-indian-couple-s-struggle-to-get-their-kids-back/390461191/...
Alayna Ertl, the sandy-haired 5-year-old girl who went missing from her Watkins home early Saturday morning, was found dead in rural Cass County later that afternoon. A preliminary autopsy by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner said Alayna Ertl died of “homicidal violence.” Zachary T. Anderson, of Monticello, is being held without bail in the Crow Wing County jail in Brainerd awaiting charges this week. The 25-year-old is being held on probable cause murder and kidnapping. http://www.startribune.com/murder-kidnapping-charges-...
"They're just showing up and dying." Those six words made emergency responders' ears perk up in Huntington, W.Va., when they buzzed over the radio. An official was quoting a caller who needed help. "I just caught a bit of that," another official replied. "What are people showing up and doing?" "All they can tell us is that 'people are showing up and dying,' " the first official said. "We're not sure what's going on." http://www.startribune.com/in-huntington-w-va-two-dozen-people-od-on-bad-batch-of-heroin-in-just-hours/390856...
A motorist purposely rammed another vehicle twice on a road in western Minnesota, sparking a police chase that led to the suspect's highly resisted arrest. Curt M. Craven, 32, of Miltona, Minn., remained jailed Sunday in Douglas County on suspicion of assault, drunken driving, reckless driving and other charges. The drama began in Alexandria about 10:45 p.m. Friday along County Road 22, just south of Lake Darling, when a driver told 911 that someone in a truck "intentionally rear-ended" him twice, according to police. http:/...
A 29-year-old motorist has been sentenced to a four-year term for being drunk when she struck and killed a motorcyclist in northeast Minneapolis. Hannah C. Weyh, 29, was sentenced last week in Hennepin County District Court in connection with the collision in November that killed 31-year-old Brandon Pearson, of Golden Valley. Weyh, who grew up in the Twin Cities and was living in Washington state at the time of the wreck, will serve the first three years of her term in prison and the rest on supervised release. Her sentence includes paying...
U.S. Bank is the latest financial company to aim for customers outside the financial mainstream by rolling out a bank account for people with as little as $25 to deposit. On Monday the bank is to announce the checkless "Safe Debit Account," which comes with a debit/ATM card and will not allow overdrafts. It will let customers pay bills, deposit money and use the bank's online and mobile banking platforms. For now, customers can open an account in a bank branch. Starting in November they will be able to open one online or by phone....
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – Five days after an explosive wildfire in Southern California sent thousands fleeing for their lives, authorities lifted all evacuation orders to allow residents to return home. About 82,000 people were ordered to leave their properties Tuesday when the fire broke out 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Most of those residents are returning to find their homes intact, though not all. A preliminary damage assessment found 105 homes and 216 outbuildings destroyed across the rural mountainous terrain where large swaths of open t...
WASHINGTON – Days after the Clinton Foundation said it would stop accepting donations from corporations and foreign entities if Hillary Clinton becomes president, her campaign manager defended the organization's fundraising after criticism from Republicans and some Democrats. "Over 10 million people around the world get important AIDS medication, lifesaving AIDS and HIV medication, because of the foundation," Robby Mook said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." The foundation put into effect "unprecedented" protections that were "a big b...
The writing is on the wall, and it’s not pretty. Unless Minnesota reverses well-established declines in hunting and fishing participation among young people, license sales will crash and endanger the state’s priceless outdoors identity. The worst-case scenario — at the forefront of next weekend’s statewide Angler and Hunter Recruitment and Retention Summit — is that fishing and hunting fade so badly that those two historic institutions lose sway with policymakers. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-scrambles-to-rekindle-hu...
SALT LAKE CITY – The Navajo Nation wants a lawsuit against the Mormon Church over the alleged sexual abuse of four Navajo children heard in tribal court. The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/2b8AX7U) that the tribe's attorneys filed a motion Friday asking a federal judge in Salt Lake City to dismiss the suit until after it goes through tribal proceedings. According to the motion, the attorneys argue that having the case go through federal court challenges the tribe's sovereignty. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/08/20/...
LEDYARD, Conn. (AP) — Two people were shot and injured at a house party on a Native American reservation in southeastern Connecticut. Connecticut State Police say it happened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday at a home on land belonging to the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Ledyard. Witnesses told police there was a large party in the home's basement and a disturbance occurred. A 24-year-old woman was shot in the hand and a 21-year-old man was shot in the shoulder. Police say their injuries were not considered life-threatening. h...
On a cold January afternoon in eastern Oregon, Ammon Bundy smiled from beneath his brown cowboy hat at a young, bespectacled reporter before explaining why he and his men had seized a federal building while armed with rifles. “The people need to be in control of their own land and not… have a people… three thousand miles away dictating how their own land works,” Bundy said. He was of course referring to the federal government, which controls and manages up to 80 percent of the land and natural resources in some Western states. Bundy’s occupatio...
The Dakota Access pipeline opposition escalated to epic proportions and dominated the headlines in Indian country this past week, while election issues and some legal action on the Gold King Mine spill also made waves. NO ACCESS: The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe stood its ground against the Dakota Access oil pipeline across its Treaty lands, and droves of people arrived to support them. They were there to protect the water—the $3.8 billion, 1,178-mile-long pipeline would cross under the Missouri River as well as traverse about 200 water c...
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The head of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says the decision by North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple to issue an emergency declaration is unfortunate. Dalrymple said the order issued Friday is meant to free up more state resources to manage public safety risks from an ongoing pipeline protest near Cannon Ball. Tribal Chairman David Archambault II said in a statement Saturday that the declaration used "the language of confrontation rather than cooperation" and is hurting the tribe's economy. He says it has blockaded roads that S...
The Alaskan village of Shishmaref has voted to relocate because global warming puts its residents at risk of being washed away — or at least that’s the simplified narrative environmentalists and the media peddle. Shishmaref, a small town of nearly 600 people just north of the Bering Strait, has become a poster child for global warming. It’s threatened by erosion and storm surge due to shrinking Arctic sea ice, and on Tuesday, its residents voted to relocate — they just don’t know where they’re going or how they’ll pay for it.

My wife and I recently had the opportunity to tour a few Western states and it gave birth to a flood of stirring thoughts – it was perceptive insight that one can only reflect upon by being in the presence of such a great witness. During our trip we drove past the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation along I-90 in South Dakota, home to Oglala Lakota Native Americans since 1889. Today it consists of 3,469 square miles of land, larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. As we drove past I couldn’t help but notice the large trailer park that was...
Two Minnesota nonprofits serving adult American Indians aiming to finish their high school education are recipients of nearly $900,000 in new funding by the state Legislature. The money was part of a broader racial-equity package championed by DFL legislators and Gov. Mark Dayton’s administration, which lobbied hard for a series of proposals to address disparities in education, housing and the workforce. “It’s profound and it’s also long overdue,” said Tuleah Palmer, executive director of the Northwest Indian Community Development Center in...

LOCKPORT – A resident of the Tuscarora Indian Reservation pleaded guilty Friday to having sex with a 16-year-old girl last fall. Clint F. Farnham, 25, of Mount Hope Road, admitted to third-degree rape, also known as statutory rape, to settle an indictment that charged him three counts of that crime, occurring between Sept. 1 and Oct. 24. The age of sexual consent in New York State is 17. Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III promised to give Farnham no more than a year in the County Jail when he returns to court Oct. 17. h...
