The painkiller Percocet was present in Prince’s body when he was found dead April 21 in a Paisley Park elevator, a source familiar with the investigation said Wednesday. However, it is not yet clear whether the potent opioid caused or contributed to the musician’s death, the source stressed. The revelation came on the same day that federal law enforcement authorities joined the investigation into the death of Prince, who was seeking emergency help for an addiction to opioid painkillers during the week of his collapse. http:/...

WASECA, MINN. – After two years of living under the guard of the state, John LaDue returned to his home Wednesday afternoon under the watchful eyes of the media — to live under a skeptical glare of the community. Arrested as a 17-year-old with plans and some materials to carry off a massacre at the local school in April 2014, LaDue on Wednesday rode home a passenger in his dad’s car, emerging on the driveway a more robust 19-year-old clutching a few folders and paper. He avoided a group of cameras nearby as he walked toward the back door....
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Southern California’s section of the San Andreas Fault is “locked, loaded and ready to roll,” a leading earthquake scientist said Wednesday at the National Earthquake Conference in Long Beach. The San Andreas Fault is one of California’s most dangerous, and is the state’s longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude-7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles...
Running back Adrian Peterson is donating $100,000 to aid those affected by the deadly floods in his hometown of Palestine, Texas over the weekend. And he pledges to match any donations made to the Salvation Army. “Seeing the devastation and the disaster there, and more importantly six lives were claimed due to the storm, I feel obligated being in my position to use my resources to be able to help my community come back from this,” he said this afternoon. “It’s something that has never happened before. Palestine is not known for floodin...
Hennepin County, responding to need, has opened its first office dedicated solely to issuing permits to people seeking to legally carry a firearm. The sheriff in the state’s most populous county on Tuesday pointed to the growing demand and his duty to better ensure residents’ rights for the opening this week of the new application office in Brooklyn Park. “As sheriff of Hennepin County, it is my job to support and respect constitutional rights and Minnesota state law,” Rich Stanek said. http://www.startribune.com/hennepin-co...
DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders in his party increased pressure on House Republicans Wednesday to release their bonding proposal. House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, has set a $600 million target for the statewide transportation and construction projects, but so far has not outlined which projects Republicans favor. The Legislature has fielded billions of dollars’ worth of requests for projects — everything from transportation funding to drinking water infrastructure to new university buildings. http://www.startr...
SHIPROCK — On the far side of a desert hilltop in the shadow of Shiprock Pinnacle, a towering monolith sacred to the Navajo Nation, the stranger ignored the cries of an 11-year-old girl. Hours had passed since the man had talked the girl and her brother into his van by promising to show them a movie. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/affidavit-reveals-details-of-navajo-girl-s-kidnapping-death/article_04f03215-8687-5fff-8cbf-5e1507d94287.html...
Tom Begaye Jr. of Waterflow, N.M., made his initial appearance Wednesday morning on charges of kidnapping and murder in connection with the abduction and killing of 11-year-old Ashlynne Mike on Monday. At the appearance before Magistrate Judge B. Paul Briones in Farmington, Begaye was determined to qualify for a court-appointed attorney.

When 11-year-old Ashlynne Mike and her 9-year-old brother stepped into a stranger’s van after being dropped off by a school bus Monday, they likely believed they were heading to see a movie. The stranger, it seems, had a more sinister plan. According to authorities, he abducted the children, and in a crime that shocked the entire Navajo Nation and surrounding communities, killed Ashlynne, leaving her body along a desolate dirt road that cuts through the desert near the towering rock monument outside the town of Shiprock. htt...
FARMINGTON – When Tom Begaye Jr. saw an 11-year-old girl playing in an irrigation ditch with her little brother near their bus stop after school Monday, he decided he had found his target. “He had the intention of having sexual intercourse with her,” an FBI agent wrote in federal court records. http://www.abqjournal.com/767943/man-arrested-in-abduction-death-of-11-year-old-girl-to-appear-in-court.html...
With Ted Cruz and John Kasich out of the race, Donald Trump has become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton's campaign wasted no time switching to general election mode, releasing a web video criticizing Trump. But Clinton didn't do it in her own words; the ad is a compilation of unkind things Trump's fellow Republicans have said about him during the party's nomination campaign. It's harsh. Mitt Romney calls Trump a misogynist, Marco Rubio claims he's the most "vulgar person to ever aspire to the...
On May 10, the author of Reservation Blues and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian publishes his first picture book, Thunder Boy Jr., about a Native American boy who wishes he had a different name. TIME: What was your aim in writing this? Alexie: There’s a real lack of Native Americans in contemporary picture books. I mean, there’s a lack of us in all genres, but I couldn’t find a picture book about a contemporary Native American family. http://time.com/4292771/sherman-alexie-part-time-indian-thunder-boy/...
Climate change, particularly unprecedented sea level rise, is already creating refugees in the United States. Back in January, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that it will allocate $1 billion in grants to 13 states to help them adapt to climate change.

In unity there is strength. This is a concept slated to be demonstrated at the Times of the Purification Gathering on May 5 through 8 in southern Arizona. “The Great Spirit has sent many Native elders to our spiritual restoration purification ceremonies since 2001,” said Gabriel of Urantia, leader of southern Arizona’s host site, Avalon Organic Gardens and Ecovillage, and the 120 Destiny Reservists/Change Agents there from around the world who currently work to bring global change to the planet.

The Getty Foundation’s Multicultural Internship for arts studies had strict guidelines. Only undergraduate students of African-American, Asian, Latino, Native American, and Pacific Islander descent—groups frequently underrepresented in the arts—were eligible. But one white applicant missed the memo. Samantha Niemann, an undergraduate at Southern Utah University, is suing the Getty Foundation for discrimination, claiming the group wrongfully barred her from its program aimed at increasing diversity in the arts. In a lawsuit filed last Frida...
A new study by advocacy group “Futures Without Violence” warned of a continuing increase in domestic violence toward women and children on Native American reservations. “It is pretty prevalent," said Shannon Jose, who works for a domestic violence program on the Tohono O'odham Nation. "When we look at Indian Country, when we look at the statistics around domestic violence and sexual assault, we do have the highest rate.” Every day Jose makes the rounds and checks on women on the who may be at risk of domestic violence. https:/...
BUSBY, Mont –– At the first Tribal Council meeting in May, elected and non-paid Busby District Chairman, Dana Eaglefeathers, will once again request that Tribal Council authorize and schedule a school board election of community members for the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Schools (NCTS), Busby. That would replace a long standing appointed Ad Hoc School Board, comprised primarily of Tribal Council members. “This is about the 10th time that I have approached the Council with this request from the Busby District, a priority concern to our commu...
(CN) - A Seminole tribe member requested an injunction to shut down a primate research facility in rural Florida, claiming it runs an unethical animal-tissue harvesting operation and puts his sacred lands at risk of being infested with "wild, potentially disease bearing monkeys." In Hendry County Court, Samuel Tommie claims the company known as Primate Products is illegally operating a monkey research center that houses animals in deplorable settings while denying "sick and injured monkeys adequate veterinary care." http://w...

Two simple wooden coffins arrived at the funeral in a red pick up truck flying an American flag. A prominent union leader and local First Nations men carried the coffins inside a hillside church in Burns Lake, B.C, where several hundred mourners gathered Tuesday to say goodbye to Shirley and Jovan Williams. They remembered the mother and son who were killed April 21 in an RCMP standoff as gentle, generous people. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/several-hundred-mourners-at-williams-funeral-1.3565509...
