It took more than a year, but Minnesotans who kept going to work in person at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic can start applying Wednesday for bonus checks as recognition for their work. The state's online portal to apply for "hero pay" goes live at 8 a.m. Wednesday and will stay open for 45 days to allow time for the hundreds of thousands of the state's workers who are eligible for the checks to apply. Gov. Tim Walz said he expects a rush of people to apply right away. "It's not...
Got free COVID-19 tests from the state of Minnesota with expiration dates shorter than the milk in your fridge? Fear not, state health officials said Tuesday. Federal regulators extended the usefulness of the iHealth rapid antigen tests for three months beyond their listed expiration dates, giving Minnesotans more time to use them if they develop symptoms or ahead of travels or group events. The extension will reduce waste from Minnesota's $6.5 million giveaway of 1 million COVID-19 home tests....
NETT LAKE, Minn. - On powwow grounds overlooking the calm, wild rice-filled waters of Nett Lake, leaders of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa on Tuesday reclaimed a massive portion of land lost more than 100 years ago, marking the largest Native American land restoration of its kind in the United States. They were joined by tribal leaders from other Chippewa reservations and dozens of Bois Forte citizens, who gathered to celebrate the purchase of more than 28,000 acres of former reservation land,...
A year after wildfire smoke made it dangerous to go outside in parts of Minnesota, forecasters say it's much less likely that hazardous air will choke the state again this summer. The hazy skies that appeared in 2021 were driven by fires in Canada and, to a lesser extent, in the Superior National Forest, where the Greenwood fire blackened nearly 30,000 acres. Matt Taraldsen, a research meteorologist with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), said that the deterioration in air quality...
Job vacancies in Minnesota swelled to another record high in the last three months of 2021 while the number of unemployed workers continued to decline in what has become a very tight labor market. The state had about 214,000 job openings in the fourth quarter, surpassing the previous record of 205,000 in the second quarter of 2021, according to a biannual survey released Tuesday by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Job vacancies were also up 68% compared to...
KYIV, Ukraine - Russia on Tuesday claimed to have taken control of 97% of one of the two provinces that make up Ukraine's Donbas, bringing the Kremlin closer to its goal of fully capturing the eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories.

And it appears that Russia now occupies roughly half of Donetsk province, according to Ukrainian officials and military analysts. After abandoning its...

The Minneapolis American Indian Center is closing at the start of this month in preparation for the first major renovation in its 47-year history. Water dripping from the roof has become a steady stream over the past year. While a leaky roof demands quick attention, the call to renovate the building goes back to 2013. That year, Mary LaGarde was hired as the center's Interim Director, a role she now holds permanently. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/06/03/minneapolis-ameri...
In the largest land-back agreement in Minnesota and one of the largest-ever in Indian Country, the Bois Forte Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe today restored more than 28,000 acres of land within its reservation boundaries back to tribal ownership. The purchase of the 28,089 acres in northern Minnesota from The Conservation Fund will restore lands that were sold by the federal government to non-Natives as "surplus" under the Allotment Act, which attempted to break up tribal reservations....
More than six decades after it errantly took land away from the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, the federal government is returning nearly 12,000 acres. The transaction resolves a dispute over the Minnesota tribe’s land that began when federal officials improperly interpreted a U.S. Department of the Interior order, and started selling off what was clearly Leech Lake land. Reversing the process was no easy feat, and required a unique collaboration with county officials. https://www.indianz.com/News/2022/06/07/native-america-calli...
