A 34-year-old self-described pimp has been charged with tricking a 12-year-old girl to come to a Rochester McDonald’s, then subjecting her to two terrorizing days of rape and sex trafficking in a Twin Cities motel and in western Minnesota during “dates” with johns arranged through Craigslist....
Gov. Mark Dayton retreated from what has become a losing political issue, agreeing Thursday to delay big pay raises for his commissioners and return oversight authority of his cabinet pay back to the Legislature. The deal with legislative leaders brings to a close — for now — the ongoing melee over pay raises that Dayton recently awarded to his commissioners....

Several dozen students left Long Prairie Grey Eagle High School with two diplomas between 2010 and 2014 — one that says they graduated from high school and another that granted them an associate of arts degree. Those graduates participated in Minnesota’s dual-enrollment program and got both high school and college credits for their classes....
The Great Deer Debate of 2014-2015 could gain further traction at the Capitol if, as some hunters hope, the Legislature directs its auditor to review in detail the Department of Natural Resources’ whitetail management plan....

Before she sat before a packed committee hearing Thursday, Demetria Carter kept her past a secret from nearly everyone. The college graduate, Sunday school teacher and mom of two lived a normal life until a descent into mental illness and drug addiction nearly a decade ago landed her with a felony conviction and 78 days in lockup. She spent the next 10 years on probation and engaged with church and volunteering, but redemption hasn’t been easy to find. Though there are many aspects that can’t be changed, she said, there is one that can...
WASHINGTON — An extra cup or two of coffee may be OK after all. More eggs, too. But you definitely need to drink less sugary soda. And, as always, don't forget your vegetables. Recommendations Thursday from a government advisory committee call for an environmentally friendly diet lower in red and processed meats. But the panel would reverse previous guidance on limiting dietary cholesterol. And it says the caffeine in a few cups of coffee could actually be good for you....
AUGUSTA, Ga. — A coroner says a mix-up at the state crime lab led an Augusta area family to bury the wrong body during a closed-casket funeral. Burke County Coroner Susan Salemi says the body of Johnny Morgan Lowe III was never returned after an autopsy....
Ugh, middle school. There’s awkwardness, cliques and bullying. The challenges of preadolescence. Low-self esteem, or maybe too much self-esteem. It can all collide in the cafeteria and leave some kids feeling invisible if they don’t fit in at any one particular table. What difference could it make if students themselves tried to encourage a change in the lunchroom? http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/292767991.html...
nable to make peace on their own with Minnesota’s health insurers, the state’s doctors are pressing legislation that would make it easier for them to overcome “prior authorization” insurance hurdles when prescribing drugs to patients....

I write about cultural appropriation in fashion a lot. I’ve taken on big brands and small brands, arguing that our images and cultural property should be taken seriously. But today, things got personal. Brand KTZ’s Fall/Winter line at New York Fashion Week was “a tribute” to Indigenous peoples. There’s a lot to critique in the line (and I will), but nestled among the 45 looks was this dress:...
A Native American activist plans to lead a class action lawsuit against Facebook over its “real name” policy, which has drawn the ire of drag queens, domestic abuse survivors and political activists across the globe....
The Keystone XL pipeline may have divided advocates and lawmakers in Washington, but the controversial project has also united a wide group of Native American tribes whose lands the pipes would cross....
Thanks to a clarifying memo from the Justice Department last October, Native American tribes can now decide for themselves whether to legalize, grow, process, or sell marijuana on their lands. Which means tribes are going to be in the “same situation” as states, says Salvador Mungia, a Tacoma-based lawyer who has represented the ACLU in recent Washington state marijuana cases. Just like a state can decide whether to allow medical marijuana, recreational marijuana, or both, Indian reservations can also choose to open a pot dispensary or gro...

For most of a decade, cultural support worker and photographer Ken Armstrong used his camera to capture the despair of the homeless and their fight for survival on the street. “They don't have a voice, so by them allowing me into their lives I'm able to tell their story, which otherwise wouldn't have been able to get out.” Many of the black-and-white images reveal the disturbing effects of addiction. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/ken-armstrong-s-photos-capture-cruel-legacy-of-residential-schools-1.2962263...
Kansas’ handling of tobacco sales on tribal reservations could jeopardize its share of the tobacco settlement money that was supposed to fund children’s programs, according to Gov. Sam Brownback....
A dispute over unpaid bills valued at nearly $3,400 led to a decision not to send volunteer firefighters to a fatal house fire Tuesday on a northern Saskatchewan First Nation. The Village of Loon Lake is generally responsible for emergency services in the area. It said it did not respond to the fire, which killed two Makwa Sahgaiehcan toddlers, because the First Nation owed the village $3,380.89. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/makwa-sahgaiehcan-deadly-fire-unpaid-bills-of-3-400-part-of-response-dispute-1.2962751...
