Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will work “one community at a time” to develop a “reconciliation framework.” That framework would work with First Nations on a nation to nation basis and get out from under the Indian Act. Speaking on APTN’s Nation to Nation, Wilson-Raybould briefly outlined her plan after giving an impassioned speech during an emergency debate in the House of Commons on the crisis in the Cree community of Attawapiskat. There she offered the first glimpse of the Liberal plan to abolish the Indian Act and emphasize...

Babett Sandman noted that while May Day is traditionally a time when people celebrate the arrival of spring, the term also refers to a distress signal, and that's the reason why she chose May 1 as a day to honor and remember missing, murdered and trafficked Native American women. A crowd of supporters joined Sandman Sunday afternoon to pray, pay tribute and remember lost loved ones in front of the DeWitt-Seitz Building. The event culminated with a silent walk, crowned by a ceremony in which flowers were cast into Lake Superior....
FLAGSTAFF (AP) — Access to health care for American Indians is difficult to gauge because the agency that oversees it does a poor job of tracking patient wait times, a report by a federal watchdog found. Long wait times are a known problem at hospitals and health centers run by the Indian Health Service, particularly in rural areas where unemployment and poverty levels are high, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said. http://www.mohavedailynews.com/news/health-care-access-hard-to-measure-for-native-americans/article_...
MISSOULA - A maximum penalty of three years in prison for a murder charge, that's what tribal courts are limited to handing down for convictions within tribal jurisdiction. It's something Montana Senator Jon Tester says needs to change. "It is crazy that we are limiting prosecution of people who do heinous crimes in Indian country,” said Tester. “We should be throwing the book at these folks, no ifs ands or buts about it. We need to make sure tribes have the ability to do that." http://www.kfbb.com/story/31857799/senator-tes...

With his new band, Promise of the Real, Young brought a heavy jam session to the Acura Stage on Sunday at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Rather than building a solid set of popular songs, Young and the group of young guys offered up relentless solo breaks and cascading soundscapes. http://theadvocate.com/news/neworleans/neworleansnews/15661374-83/review-what-we-liked-disliked-about-neil-youngs-new-orleans-jazz-fest-performan...
SHERIDAN, Wyo. (AP) — A jury has convicted a Montana tribal game warden of poaching in northern Wyoming. After the jury in Sheridan returned its verdict Friday, Circuit Court Judge Shelley A. Cundiff sentenced Clayvin Herrera to one year of unsupervised probation and fined him $7,500. In addition, the Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1TAUjUr ) that Herrera is not allowed to hunt in any state for the next three years.
