As the horrific events in New Zealand stun the world, Christchurch suffers the wounds of a tragically growing list of cities. While so many predictably rush to politicize and blame, the frequency of these events may have created an additionally unhelpful effect. Where most once put our hands over our mouth in horror, an increasing number merely pause to offer a brief tribute of sentiment as consolation. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” echoes often enough to warrant a predictive template on social media pla...

Suzan Harjo remembers the challenge of running the National Congress of American Indians. Her staff wore multiple hats, worked long hours, juggled multiple projects, and tried to answer the question, “what do the people want?” So much easier asked than answered.

It’s a problem that is as true today as it was for Harjo and every other executive director of any national Indian organization. https://newsmaven.io/indiancountrytoday/news/who-will-be-ne...

She cited a “corrosive” effort by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) in a Wednesday hearing to repeal a provision in the Viole...
