    May 12, 2016

  • National tribal judge group questions firing in disenrollment case

    May 12, 2016

    The National American Indian Court Judges Association is expressing concerns about a closely-watched disenrollment dispute in Washington state. The group isn't taking a position on underlying issue -- whether the Nooksack Tribe can remove more than 300 people from the rolls.

  • ICWA Puts Tribes' Interests Ahead of Children's

    May 12, 2016

    On November 26, 2013, a Spirit Lake Indian reservation woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for throwing her step-grandaughter down an embankment and killing her. Lauryn Whiteshield and her sister had been removed from a non-Indian foster family and placed with her grandfather and his wife, despite her long history of child neglect. That’s because the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe had invoked their powers under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) to place the children on the reservation. https://chronicleofsocialchange.org/...

  • Cherokee moves toward marijuana legalization

    May 12, 2016

    Cherokee took another step along the road toward legalizing medicinal marijuana with a vote last week to start drafting legislation that would let the drug be produced and prescribed on the Qualla Boundary. “If I can sit here and I can do anything to alleviate the pain or the suffering of anyone who is diabetic, has cancer, has seizures, I’m going to sit here and raise my hand to support that,” said Councilmember Teresa McCoy, of Big Cove, moving to pass the legislation as soon as the floor opened for discussion. http:...

  • The blackest of crimes committed against Warner Ranch Indians

    May 12, 2016

    Visitors to the Indian village at Kupa were often struck by the silence. No loud voices, no sudden shouts. Even children played quietly. A stillness spread from the bowl-shaped Valle de San Jose below, past Warner’s Ranch, and up to where Cupeños busied themselves with the tasks of the moment — tasks their people had performed since time for them began. On May 15, 1902, when Charles Fletcher Lummis approached the village in a surrey, howls and ha’s echoed from the boulder-strewn hillside. It was hard to tell if the shouts were...

  • Medicine and Mistrust on Native American Reservations

    May 12, 2016

    Native Americans have some of the highest rates of suicide, alcoholism, diabetes and maternal mortality in the country. And while the federal government passed the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act back in 1976 to make their care a priority, it spends just $3,000 a year caring for each Native patient. (We spend twice that on health care for every prisoner.) Dr. Adrienne Laverdure and Dr. Ken Bernard, two Native American doctors, know this firsthand.The mother and son are both Chippewa Indians from North Dakota, and they’re part of the Indian...
