BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police allege in court filings that opponents of the Dakota Access oil pipeline made threats against officers and public officials in North Dakota last year, prompting additional security for the state's governor. The filings are part of a lawsuit filed in November by pipeline protesters who accuse police of excessive force in a Nov. 20 clash over a blockaded bridge. Opponents of the $3.8 billion pipeline to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois have long maintained they've been mistreated by law e...
The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians announced Friday it had ended its investment advisory services relationship with Wells Fargo. The decision, made unanimously by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians Band Assembly and Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin, was in response to Wells Fargo's unethical business practices and the financing the bank provides to Energy Transfer Partners, according to a news release.

MANDAN – The protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline aren’t ending. At 3:30 pm Monday, about 200 protesters made their way from the main protest camp, along the frozen Cannonball River, and headed north on the Missouri River. They stopped at a fence along the shoreline of the Missouri River, approximately 700 feet from the Dakota Access Pipeline horizontal drill pad. Law enforcement and National Guard soldiers kept the protesters from entering onto private property after protesters cut out sections of the fence. Three arrests were made nea...
Morton County, N.D. may be some 1,600 miles from Philadelphia, but a story I saw about protests there made me recoil on Sunday. It wasn’t the protests themselves that rankled me. Rather, it was the headline of a story about reaction to the people who protested the Dakota Access Pipeline proposal. Here’s the headline: “Running over protesters on roadways could soon be legal in North Dakota.” And here’s the initial reaction: “Are you f------ kidding me?” http://www.phillyvoice.com/idiotic-legislation-would-invite-drivers-hit-p...

Judges have no general right to interfere with compensation decisions involving claims by victims of Canada's notorious Indian residential schools, Ontario's top court said Monday. In written reasons for an oral decision rendered in December, the Court of Appeal said a Superior Court justice overstepped his powers by awarding money to a rape victim whose claims were rejected under the independent assessment process known as the IAP. "The IAP represents a comprehensive, tailor-made scheme for the resolution of claims by trained and experienced...
Canada's "apartheid system" of reserves shares some of the blame for a string of suicides that devastated an Innu community on Quebec's North Shore in 2015, a coroner's inquest has found. Coroner Bernard Lefrançois was tasked last year by the Quebec government with looking into the deaths of four women and one man over a nine-month period in Uashat-Maliotenam, an Innu reserve near Sept-Îles, Que. His report, released Saturday, is scathing in its description of the legal regime that governs Indigenous communities in Canada. The coroner said i...
LAKE ANDES — Emergency? Don't call 911. After county officials asked the Yankton Sioux Tribe to pay for 911 services for the first time, Tribal Police Chief Chris Saunsoci has asked tribal members to call his department's administrative phone number, (605) 384-5691, instead of the county-run 911 center. "Definitely, call us," Saunsoci said. http://www.mitchellrepublic.com/news/local/4200189-yankton-sioux-police-consider-cutting-911...
KYUK, Bethel: The village of Quinhagak has not had a shipment of food in over two weeks due to a damaged runway, bad weather, and a change in air carriers. While deliveries have been less than reliable over the last two years, people say that this is the worst it’s been. Audio Transcript: Walk into the village store in Quinhagak and you’ll see empty shelves where food should be. “There’s no bread, no eggs, all the little things you expect in a store,” said Warren Jones, who runs the store owned by the local native corporation. http://kd...
SEATTLE (AP) — On April 10, Andrew Westling was arrested in the city of Yelm for allegedly being a minor in possession of alcohol and spitting on a customer at a gas station minimart. Although the 19-year-old wasn't a tribal member, Yelm police took him to the nearby Nisqually Corrections Center in Thurston County under an unusual contract in which the city pays the tribe to house its prisoners. After Westling told a jail officer he had a heart condition — and once had to be resuscitated — he was put into a cell where jailers were suppo...
Parents want St. Paul Public Schools to change its approach with American Indian students, who consistently post the district’s worst academic outcomes but often are overlooked because of their small numbers. American Indian parent advisory committee members told the school board last week that they had passed a resolution of nonconcurrence, saying in effect that they disagree with the educational programs offered in the district. “We’re in crisis mode. Things aren’t getting better,” said Robert Pilot, a tech ed teacher and Check and Connect m...

Commercial and sport fishermen are demanding change when it comes to the annual process that determines who gets to fish how much salmon and when. It's called the North of Falcon process, and it involves several months of private meetings between federal, state, and tribal representatives. They typically start in February. The meetings are not open to the public, but a petition that's gained more than 1,000 signatures is just one sign of rising tides against the process, as non-treaty recreational and commercial fishermen rally for...
