KAY COUNTY, Okla. – The Department of Homeland Security notified Cherokee Nation on Dec. 21 that it will suspend plans to conduct nonhazardous biochemical tests at Chilocco Indian School in Kay County near the Kansas border. The Cherokee Nation sent a letter to the agency on Nov. 13, 2017, objecting to the proposed tests on several grounds. “For nearly a hundred years, Indians from across the United States, including generations of Cherokees, were sent to Chilocco boarding school,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. “Chilocco...

A federal judge in Albuquerque has dismissed more than two dozen complaints against Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co., but allowed others to proceed against the maker of Natural American Spirit cigarettes, which is accused of purposely deceiving consumers into thinking the high-priced smokes are safer and healthier than other cigarettes by using such terms as “organic” and “additive-free” in its marketing and packaging. Scores of plaintiffs from at least a dozen states sued after the federal Food and Drug Administration in 2015 found the terms m...
Washington voters will likely get to weigh in on police use of deadly force. A ballot measure on that subject turned in around 360,000 voter signatures Thursday afternoon. That should be more than enough to qualify for consideration by the Washington Legislature and then probably go to the statewide ballot in 2018. Washington currently has one of the highest thresholds in the nation for criminally charging police officers who use deadly force. They are protected as long as they act in “good faith” and without malice. In recent history, cou...

The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe reservation sits mostly within the geographic boundary of Mille Lacs County, where county officials last year ended a police cooperation agreement. That ended tribal police authority on most parts of the reservation to enforce state laws, such as those dealing with illegal drugs. http://www.brainerdd...
