BEMIDJI – Red Lake tribal officials say they’re frustrated over a funding dispute that has left a juvenile detention center empty and unused since it was built by the federal government seven years ago. The $2 million juvenile center sits behind the tribe’s main criminal justice complex in Red Lake. A 13,000-square-foot building paid for by the U.S. Department of Justice, it was designed to provide minimum security detention for up to 24 juveniles. But the center never opened. “It’s frustrating and at times hopeless,” Red Lake Tribal Chairman F...

I have many heroes in Red Lake, some great, some small, but I would like to write about the one who I think exemplifies the best qualities found in true Red Lakers. Maydwaygwanonind or He Who Is Spoken To His Anishinabe name was Mādwāgwănōnĭnd. His translated name is “He Who Is Spoken To”. The funny thing is, non-Indians could never get his Indian name right. I came across quite a few different--and strange--spellings for it in my web search. There is not much in print about Maydwayg...

Under the bill, beginning in the 2016-17 school year, when teachers are laid off, it would be based on evaluations of their performance, and not purely on seniority. Business groups supported it as a way of prote...
