OKLAHOMA CITY — A tribal council meeting held Saturday apparently has done little to settle the fight for control of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. Tribal Gov. Janice Boswell and Lt. Gov. Leslie Harjo are embroiled in a dispute over who is the rightful governor. Both have accused the other of various misdeeds and constitutional violations and have been overseeing what amount to separate governments, each with their own judges, attorney general and other officials....
As always happens around this time of year, folks are coming to the paper with complaints and questions about tribal netting and behaviors of netters, as well as rumors and reports of violations witnessed. Here are a few clarifications, and I'd be happy to add more information or ask questions of experts if you have them. Are netters allowed to camp at public accesses? Short answer, no. According to DNR conservation officer Mike Lee, netters are under the same campin and trespassing rules as anyone else, and DNR COs are required to enforce...

The cultural tensions in Benewah County, Idaho, are long-standing and problematic. The western portion of the rural county is dominated by the Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe, where economic opportunities are expanding, thanks largely to the successful tribal casino. But the eastern portion is struggling. Add to this the 2001 U.S. Supreme Court decision that handed control of the lower third of Lake Coeur d’Alene to the tribe and there is plenty of fodder for resentment and, yes, outright bigotry....
In the 1960s and 1970s, controversial “fish-in” protests and courtroom battles in the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest pushed the issue of American Indians’ aboriginal fishing rights into public awareness. The fish-ins were always controversial, sometimes violent, and often led to raids of Indian homes and arrests by Fish and Game agents. When the late actor Marlon Brando and activist/comedian Dick Gregory joined Indians for fish-ins in Washington state in the mid-1960s, they were arrested and made newspapers all over the world. Those fish-...

AZTEC - "Not guilty." "Not guilty." "Not guilty." The courtroom was silent as Chief District Judge John Dean read the jury's verdict Friday in the case against William Hatch, one of the three men accused of branding a swastika on the arm of an American Indian with mental disabilities: not guilty of first-degree felony kidnapping, not guilty of second-degree felony conspiracy to commit kidnapping and not guilty of third-degree felony aggravated battery causing great bodily harm....

TOLEDO, Iowa — A 26-year-old Tama woman arrested for drunken driving Wednesday with a .305 blood alcohol level was surprisingly released Thursday after a magistrate dismissed the case. Tama County Magistrate Richard Vander May dismissed the case with prejudice because Starla Fawn Durnin, a member of the Meskwaki Settlement, didn’t have her initial appearance within 24 hours of her arrest, which is a violation of the law, but two prosecutors and a sheriff don’t agree with his ruling and may fight it....
CODY — As a girl growing up in Indiana, Sara Wiles never dreamed she’d be living in Wyoming among the Arapaho people on the Wind River Indian Reservation. And since she couldn’t see that in her future, she probably didn’t know she’d come to chronicle nearly 40 years of reservation life in a series of black-and-white photographs....

HOUSTON, TEXAS – *The biggest Protestant Church in the United States finds itself in a child molestation scandal. Houston’s Lakewood Church led by Joel Osteen and Pastor Marcos Witt is no exception to the avalanche of crimes committed by men who utilize the name of God to commit wrongdoings unto minors, as the world learned today of the sexual assault of a child in this ministry. A Texas court has charged Lakewood volunteer, Alvaro Daniel Guzman, for molesting an autistic boy in the Jeep room of this religious establishment, finding him gui...
There was major hoopla across this country surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden. America sure is proud to show her bloodthirsty colors. I was appalled to see people cheering in public at the death of a human being. In my opinion, it shows they are no better than those human beings who rejoice in foreign countries at the death of American people....
For the record, I am not a descendant of Geronimo, but my great grandmother, Gertrude, and great grandfather, Oswald Smith, who begat my grandfather Hopkins Smith, were all born prisoners of war after our great nation revoked a treaty between Geronimo and General Miles in 1886: "The President (Ulysses S. Grant) of the United States has sent me to speak to you. He has heard of your trouble with the white men, and says that if you will agree to a few words of treaty we need have no more trouble. Geronimo, if you will agree to a few words of...
I love my mom. I mean, who doesn’t love their mom, right? Still, I probably love my mom an unhealthy amount. See, like most men raised by a single mom, Native or not, I’m a mama’s boy. I was an oversized baby with a HUGE head (which I still have, by the way) and my mom is a tiny, beautiful Indian woman—she literally almost died having me because my head was so darn big....
There is a lot of misconception about American Indians in our world. Most of this false ideology comes from early propaganda meant to make people scared of the Indians. Later, with the advent of films and television, these stereotypes got cemented and the false images made their way all over the world....
