BEMIDJI -- A comedy show scheduled for Saturday at the Sanford Center is still up in the air this morning after the comedian posted a YouTube video overnight apologizing for remarks about Native Americans that he says were taken out of context.

Gov. Mark Dayton, in response to Mississippi making it legal for people there to be denied service based on sexual orientation, instructed Minnesota state employees to refrain from any nonessential travel to that state as long as its law remains in force. The law that Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed Tuesday allows religious groups and private businesses to deny services to gay and transgender people. It follows similar attempts in other states that have been made since last year’s Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized gay m...
One month before the Minneapolis Police Department plans to begin outfitting its officers with body cameras, City Council members are urging police officials to ensure that their policy for the cameras is transparent and stringent enough to earn the community’s trust. Police officials updated the council’s public safety committee Wednesday on the feedback they received in a half-dozen listening sessions over the last month.

WHO said 8.5 percent of the world population had diabetes two years ago, u...
KHIRDASDI, Bangladesh — For more than two decades, Nasima Begum and her family have been drawing water from a well painted red to warn Bangladeshi villagers that it's tainted by arsenic. They know they're slowly poisoning themselves. "We use this water for washing, bathing and drinking," she said. There simply is no other option. Taking loans from neighbors to care for her ailing husband and four children, Begum, 45, has nothing left to invest toward digging a new well that goes deeper to reach safe water. http://www.startri...
Manitoba First Nations are calling on provincial political parties to fulfil a two decade old promise and make good on land debt. In 1997, the province, federal government and the Treaty Land Entitlement Committee of Manitoba (TLEC) signed a framework agreement to give land to First Nations who were shortchanged under Treaties 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10. It was decided at the time that First Nations should have been given more land after the original treaties were signed in the 1800's The total land owed is 1.1 million acres. In 19 years, less than...
Principal Chief Patrick Lambert bore the look of a man on a mission when he presented Tribal Council with a first look at results of an ongoing forensic audit on Tuesday. The results he held in hand may have been only preliminary, he told council, but they were disturbing enough that he’s already encouraged the FBI to start investigating. “What we’ve found is clear fraud, wrongdoing, crimes and a failed system of checks and balances within this tribal government,” Lambert told council. http://www.smokymountainnews.com/news/i...

Tribal officials are expressing concern over the implications of a lawsuit seeking to halt federal funding for 62 hatcheries along the Columbia River. The Duvall, Wash.-based Wild Fish Conservancy is suing the National Marine Fisheries Service and the federal Department of Commerce, saying the agencies aren’t ensuring that the hatcheries won’t harm endangered stocks of salmon and steelhead.
