  • Law could lead to federal prosecutions of reservation crime

    Mar 23, 2012

    ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Some Native American tribes in Minnesota are hoping a relatively new federal law will help reduce high reservation crime rates. The Tribal Law and Order Act would allow for more federal prosecutions of reservation crimes. But some county prosecutors aren't eager to have federal officials handle cases that have traditionally been theirs. Justice Department statistics show just how dangerous reservations can be. Crime rates are more than twice as high on reservations as they are elsewhere. American Indian women experience v...

    CALLAWAY – In a good year, JoDan Rousu and his extended family can expect to get more than 200 gallons of refined maple syrup out of the family’s maple tree farm near here.

He said they will be lucky to bottle 40 or 50 gallons of syrup from the harvest, which is wrapping up this week on the farm about 90 miles southwest of Bemidj...
