Isabel Rousmaniere cannot remember the last time she took a state-mandated standardized exam, and she is still in high school. Rousmaniere, a senior at South High school in Minneapolis, is one of hundreds of students at the school who refuse to take the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments in math, reading and science, which wrap up in May. “I am very done with standardized testing,” she said recently. “This afternoon, someone handed me a form and said you could opt out of the science MCA. I didn’t even know I still had to take that.” http://ww...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is guaranteeing that evidence, not politics, will dictate the outcome of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of emails as secretary of state. Obama's comments came during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, his first as president. Obama said he continues to believe Clinton didn't jeopardize America's national security with her private email server, but he added that "there's a carelessness in terms of managing emails" that she has recognized. http://www.startribune.com/ob...
GALESBURG, Ill. — This railroad town promotes its ties to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the poet Carl Sandburg. But Galesburg's long history also shows in a hidden way: Aging pipes have been leaking lead into the drinking water for decades. Blood tests show cause for concern. One in 20 children under the age of 6 in Knox County had lead levels exceeding the state standard for public health intervention, a rate six times higher than the Illinois average, in 2014. http://www.startribune.com/us-water-systems-repeatedly-exc...
Beautiful young women dressed up in colorful dresses with fancy shoes and hair and makeup that would be appropriate for any red-carpet appearance. Young men looking sharp in tuxes and shiny shoes. Yes, high school prom season is upon us. Our hopes are that our children will have a wonderful experience filled with great memories, as many of us did. A lot of us borrowed the family car for our prom. Today, there are many options, ranging from the family minivan to Uber to a limo to a party bus. We can have all of our students on one bus.

The call came in to Absolute Towing around 8:45 on a recent spring morning, notable only for its persistent drizzle. Flat tire. Two people. “I-94 and Manning-ish” — a reference to the exurban Washington County crossroad. This service call was a relatively safe one for Tim Heldman, who owns the Oakdale towing firm. The occupants of the disabled Ford Fusion had carefully steered the sedan off the busy highway and onto an expansive shoulder, where it was hoisted onto his tow truck without incident. http://www.startribune.com/la...
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India — Rescue officials on Monday sifted through a Hindu temple in southern India where more than 100 died when a fireworks display — an unauthorized pyrotechnic display that went horribly wrong — swept through for a religious festival packed with thousands. The official death toll so far from the pre-dawn fire on Sunday at the Puttingal temple complex in the village of Paravoor, stood at 102 people with 380 others hurt, officials said, but local media reports said the figure was higher. http://www.start...

MANDERSON, S.D. | The tiny hemp sprouts popping from the ground near Alex White Plume's home this spring are descendants of mature plants seized 16 years ago by federal agents. "When they cut my crop down," he said last week, "they spread the seeds something awful." http://siouxcityjournal.com/news/state-and-regional/south-dakota/hope-and-hemp-the-unfinished-odyssey-of-alex-white-plume/article_49338330-f47c-5cd7-8526-88d7f1121404.html...
Native American nations are joining a Spirit Camp built April 1 on the proposed path of a pipeline to protect tribal lands and prevent Keystone XL Pipeline-level environmental degradation from the project. The Lakota Sioux nation led a 200-person horse ride to inaugurate the Sacred Rock camp, a site of teepees for tribal members and allies to pray, rally and teach in support of the North Dakota tribe for an indefinite period of time. This content was originally published by teleSUR at the following address: "http://www.teles...
The federal government is cleaning up a long legacy of uranium mining within the Navajo Nation — some 27,000 square miles spread across Utah, New Mexico and Arizona that is home to more than 250,000 people. Many Navajo people have died of kidney failure and cancer, conditions linked to uranium contamination. And new research from the CDC shows uranium in babies born now. http://www.ktoo.org/2016/04/10/navajo-nation-uranium-minings-deadly-legacy-lingers/...
The Northern Cheyenne Tribal Government adopted a new ordinance Thursday that updates the tribe's drug, traffic and trespass laws. Northern Cheyenne Tribal President Llevando Fisher signed the new ordinance this week implementing temporary changes to the tribe's law-and-order code. http://billingsgazette.com/news/crime/northern-cheyenne-tribe-adopts-temporary-drug-traffic-trespass-laws/article_407a12ee-8c2a-5a66-8e5f-56fe60e15286.html...
Looking out from the house he built in 1959 with lumber brought by boat to this island at the south end of Terrebonne Parish, Wenceslaus Billiot remembers when the view from his back porch was thick forest and solid marsh. Now there is just open water. With their homes growing ever more vulnerable to hurricanes, the 89-year-old Billiot and other residents of Isle de Jean Charles soon will have the choice of whether to stay on this slip of land or relocate, hopefully with their neighbors, to higher ground. http://theadvocate....
Accusations of abuse of young children who attend an immersion language school operated by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe have been investigated and prosecution has been declined. A media release from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe states that the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department investigated allegations of child abuse to children who attend the Sasiwaans Immersion School. A thorough investigation report was turned over to the Tribal Prosecutor and U.S. Attorney’s Office who agreed the allegations were unsubstantiated and d...
It all began with a tiny, brave band of people who strode across the land bridge connecting Asia to Alaska and into the unknown. Within a few millennia they would conquer the Americas, laying the groundwork for civilizations as varied as any in the world — the prehistoric creators of Clovis points; the Pueblo, who cut palaces straight into the sheer faces of cliffs; the mound builders of the Mississippian culture; the vast empires of the Incas and the Maya. Their diversity was enshrined in their DNA: A new study of mummies and other remains f...
In 1857, the Pawnee Indian tribe in Nebraska signed a treaty to cede all of their lands to the United States government except a reservation 10 miles wide by 30 miles long along the Loup River in Nebraska in present-day Nance County. In 1874, the Pawnee signed another treaty agreeing to move to Indian Territory. By 1875, the Pawnee Indians left their Nance County reservation for another reservation in Oklahoma. They had lived in their ancestral home in Nebraska longer than any other tribe. A Nebraska State Historical Society marker in the...

Travel south from Casa Grande on Chuichu Road. You’ll end up on Indian Route 15. It runs north-south through the Tohono O’odham Nation. It’s a scenic drive. The desert is filled with mountains and saguaros. And crosses. Nine of them appear 15 miles or more south of Casa Grande. They’re lined up, side-by-side. Another, larger one, looks over them. http://www.trivalleycentral.com/casa_grande_dispatch/area_news/crosses-tied-to-tragic-story-on-a-reservation-road/article_e48b768e-fe7c-11e5-a30e-5fd3e64889a8.html...
Andrew Moore lived alone and died alone. He was raised in an orphanage, never married and outlived his friends. For his last 40 years, the World War II veteran slept on a couch in a rentcontrolled efficiency apartment in the nation's capital. The 89-year-old pensioner died in December with no will, no instructions and no next of kin. He lay in a cold room at the District of Columbia medical examiner's office, where the unclaimed dead are usually destined for a nameless pauper's grave. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/natio...

The Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, plans for the first time to collect national data and information about Native American children involved in state and local child welfare systems.
