After a year that saw budget battles, a legal fight between branches of government and two lawmakers swept out of office over sexual misconduct allegations of last year, 2018 will start with another big event: Lt. Gov. Tina Smith heading to Washington to take a place in the U.S. Senate. Smith’s move has triggered questions and bickering over who will succeed her at the state Capitol. It’s a critical question that has major ramifications for control of the Senate and could define the legislative session. https://www.twincitie...
Morton, Minn. – Mat Pendleton pulled his kids away from the basketball and video games on a recent Saturday to teach them a bit about a long-lost tradition. Not far from the banks of the Minnesota River, they joined other youngsters trudging through snow in thick brush to harvest traditional tobacco — a cultural practice that’s making a comeback on the Lower Sioux Indian Reservation, two hours southwest of the Twin Cities. http://www.startribune.com/in-minnesota-american-indians-are-reclaiming-traditional-tobacco-to-revive-t...
A fresh effort to pry more land from the indigenous people of the United States is on the Trump regime’s agenda. Behind the idea is yet another of the centuries-long rip-offs of Indian land and destruction of tribes. The real benefits of the privatization would accrue to non-Indian businesses, including the extractive industries. In particular, such a scheme would favor fossil fuel corporations. Perhaps 20 percent of the nation’s oil and gas reserves as well as vast coal deposits are found on reservations, even though these only make up 2 per...
The Interior Department (DOI) has published a list of its accomplishments during President Donald Trump’s first year in office based on 10 principles, which include conservation, tribal sovereignty and responsible development. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s top priority is to “[c]reate a conservation stewardship legacy, second only to Teddy Roosevelt,” according to a DOI press release. The DOI said that goal had been met though a decision to increase access to public lands. http://yellowhammernews.com/featured/first-year-tr...

On December 22nd, 2017, through the stream of ALL CAPS and proliferate emojis that is Cher’s twitter account, this burst forth: It’s been going for days. Cher has spent the past few weeks defending her 1973 solo number one hit “Half-Breed,” about being an outcast of white and Cherokee society performed in full-blown Party City-level Cherokee drag. In 1993, People Magazine reported that her mother has some Cherokee blood along with Irish, English, German heritage, but her father is Armenian-American; in 2017, nobody in their right mind would t...
The current national conversation about sexual assault is incomplete without discussing violence against Native American women. Often in Native communities, a mother will teach her child what to do when she is raped, not if she is raped. This reflects the harsh reality that is affecting Native American women in their fight against sexual assault. The Policy Insights Brief of the National Congress of American Indians reveals the extraordinarily high rate of victimization of Native women: https://the-journal.com/articles/79636...
A federal judge in California ruled last week that school districts could not force football players to stand for the national anthem, or require students or coaches to remove hats/helmets or otherwise display traditional forms of respect while the anthem is being played. What happened? A Native American football player for a San Pasqual Valley unified school district football team, who was identified in court documents as “V.A.,” sparked controversy before a game against rival Mayer High School when he knelt during the playing of the pre...

NELSON, B.C. — An American Indigenous man’s right to hunt in Canada has been upheld by a B.C. Supreme Court judge because his ancestors traditionally hunted in this country.

How much should a racketeering conviction cost a man who for years flouted state laws and preyed upon cash-strapped Americans to build one of the nation’s largest illegal payday-lending empires?

KENT, Conn. (AP) — A judge rejected a Native American tribe's claim that Connecticut owes it more than $600 million for land the tribe says the state seized a century or more ago. In an 11-page decision released Wednesday, the judge dismissed the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation's claim that it owned the land. http://www.westport-news.com/news/us/article/Judge-rejects-tribal-claim-that-Connecticut-owes-12461650.php...
In Donald Trump’s first act as president, he signed a high-profile executive order intended to dismantle Obamacare, instructing federal agencies to take any measures they could to roll back the Affordable Care Act. In retrospect, the vaguely worded directive was only symbolic. The Trump administration did eventually make moves to obstruct the law, but they took months and another executive order to implement. For all the theater, it’s hard to say whether that order had any effect at all. Less noticed on Inauguration Day was a surprise move by...
A major piece of legislation championed by Congressman Peter DeFazio has cleared both houses of Congress, that – if enacted - will benefit three Native American tribes in Oregon. KLCC’s Brian Bull reports. The Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act cedes more than 17,000 acres of federal land to the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians. Another 14-thousand acres goes to the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians. It gives both tribes a land base since they regained federal recognition in the 1980s. http://ijp...
President Donald Trump has spent the past year steadily undoing Obama-era environmental protections, especially rules designed to fight climate change. By law, agencies must go through a lengthy process to rescind or rewrite many rules, but executive orders and other policies are easier to erase. Some of the rollbacks have major implications for the West and public lands. Here we take a look at some of the most important rollbacks of the past year: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/climate_desk/2017/12/_16_env...
A woman whose mutilated body was found in a sandy arroyo in the shadow of the upper middle class Four Hills neighborhood last Saturday grew up in To’hajiilee and more recently split her time between the Native American reservation land and Albuquerque, her mother told the Journal on Friday. Evangelyn Ray said her daughter, Audra Willis, 39, did not have a permanent residence, but lived off and on with family in Albuquerque and on the reservation. She was the mother of six children, all under the age of 17, who lived in To’hajiilee. htt...
