WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced the settlement of lawsuits filed by 41 federally-recognized tribes against the United States, in which the tribes alleged that the Department of the Interior and the Department of the Treasury had mismanaged monetary assets and natural resources held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the tribes. The announcement followed a 22-month-long negotiation between the tribes and the United States that has culminated in settlements b...
WALKER – A Cass County jury has found a 31-year-old man guilty for terroristic threats against a sheriff’s deputy. Robert Joseph Jones faces 29 to 39 months in prison on the felony charge.

The deputy identified Jones, who had a warrant for his arrest. While being taken to jail, Jones made several threats to the deputy, stated he was affiliated with the Native Mob gang and said he would find out whe...
Once there was an old Head Chief in Red Lake. His name was Maydwaygwanonind. Roughly translated, I believe his name meant “He who is spoken to”. Family legend has it that this was because when there was a tribal council in the old days that everyone would have their say and at the end they would ask him what he thought. After deliberating he would speak. Historically, perhaps his greatest achievement was keeping Red Lake from allotment. (He didn’t do too badly personally either when they drew...

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — The federal government says it will pay more than $1 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by American Indian tribes over mismanagement of trust lands. The settlement announced jointly by the Justice Department and the Interior Department resolves claims brought by 41 tribes from across the country. The Interior Department manages about 2,500 tribal trust accounts for more than 250 tribes, including leases for oil and gas and grazing rights. Dozens of tribes have filed suit in recent years claiming the a...
RED LAKE – The Warriors captured the conference championship last year but the loss of three seniors will make repeating a difficult chore. Individually, however, Red Lake should have success. “I do think senior Rob McNeal and junior Corey Beaulieu have good chances of making it to state,” said Warriors coach Brad Castle. “This would be Corey’s second trip to state as he made it last year as a sophomore.” Castle also believes that the program is on solid ground as many younger players are participating in the feeder programs. “We do have good...
CASS LAKE – Consistency is difficult for smaller high school athletic programs to attain but the Cass Lake-Bena baseball team seems to be an exception. This spring the Panthers will be shooting for their sixth consecutive trip to the Section 8A semifinals and, although they are yet to win the title, the Panthers always seem to be in the thick of the chase. “We never have quite made it all the way to the state tournament but we’ll keep trying,” said CL-B coach Ken Wittner who begins his 11th year in the dugout this spring. “We’ve won the Nor...
KELLIHER – Leading the Kelliher-Northome softball team this spring will be five seniors, including Hope Lindner. “Hope is a four-year starter, including three years as a starter at first base,” said K-N coach Matt Hanson. “Hope is a great fielder and last year she really turned it on at the plate, hitting .267 and tying for the team lead in RBI with 13 in 17 games.” Seniors Hollea Boquist, Megan Halverson and Kish Heck also are returning four-year starters while senior Kristen White has started three years. “Hollea will move from left field...
The U.S. government has reached a $1 billion settlement with 41 Indian tribes across the nation, including several in northern Minnesota, over longstanding land and trust claims. U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Attorney General Eric Holder announced the settlement Wednesday afternoon following 22 months of negotiations. These settlements resolve claims dating back more than 100 years and will “bring to an end protracted litigation that has burdened both the plaintiffs and the United States,” federal officials said in a statement. In...
Prior Lake, MN – When a batter is standing at the plate ready to hit a baseball traveling at speeds of up to 100 mph, the last thing he wants is a distraction – like the sound of a plastic water bottle being crinkled nearby. Most plastic water bottles sold for consumer use in the United States are made from lightweight plastic which crunches noisily when it isn’t full. However, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community produces water bottles which are made from heavier weight plastic so they don’t do that. Because water bottled by the SMSC is pr...
