No Red Lake member or descendent wants to sell our Reservation or open it to any outsider. Those values have been clear throughout history. However, the Red Lake Band...
I will always remember 2015 as the year that I was raped. This year has held immense suffering for me and has provided me a window into the suffering so many in our community endure surviving rape.

Dealogic, a financial data provider, says the value of global deals soared 37 percent in 2015. The highest price tag came in November, when Pfizer and Allergan announced the biggest pharmaceutical deal in history. http://www.startribune.com/the-record-breaking-year-in-deals/363825761/...

PEMBROKE — A day after saying that there was no across-the-board pay increase or bonus for employees of the Lumbee tribe, a spokeman for the tribal government says that all employees did receive a “longevity bonus” — but for much less than the 10 percent that was making its rounds on social media. Gary Strickland said that all 120 tribal employees, including those employed just part-time, received a one-time longevity bonus of between 1.5 percent and 3 percent of their salary based on the amount of time they worked for the tribe. He continu...
