  • Red Lake Local Foods Initiative/Gitigaanike: 2018 Iskigamiziganing (Sugar Bush Camp)

    David Manuel, Red Lake Local Foods Initiative|Apr 3, 2018

    The Sugarbush is a seasonal activity the Anishinaabeg have done since long before anyone of us can remember. Legends tell us that it is embedded in our collective cultural psyche, that Nanaboozhoo received the teachings of how to identify the maple, tap, collect and boil the sap and make sugar from Missabe, or the giant. He in turn showed us how to do the same. If you are Anishinaabe, you have an ancestral sugarbush that your elders of long ago went to as Spring arrived. Every year they...

    Apr 3, 2018

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 13-year-old boy was miraculously rescued Monday after falling into a river of sewage in Los Angeles, getting swept away and spending more than 12 hours in the city’s toxic and mazelike underground sewer system.

    Apr 3, 2018

    Imagine uncoiling a condom and stuffing it up one side of your nose, then plugging the other nostril and inhaling until the long piece of latex slides into your throat. Then what?

  • Interior Secretary Zinke Reassigned Native American Employees After Conveniently Shrugging Off Diversity

    Apr 3, 2018

    Native American senior officials of the Interior Department were disproportionately reassigned under Interior Secretary Zinke, according to a review by Talking Points Memo.

The news comes less than a week after reports that Zinke constantly talks about how he doesn’t care about diversity. Weird! Former government officials told TPM that the shakeup was an attempt to reduce, “in...
