BEMIDJI—Beltrami County and the state of Minnesota as a whole are facing a crisis oftentimes overlooked in communities. The crisis, specifically facing local government departments tasked with providing social services, is a large number of children entering foster systems and a shortage of care providers able to meet the need. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/4037751-foster-care-combating-crisis...
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (May 20, 2016) - Hy-Vee, Inc., based in West Des Moines, Iowa, is voluntarily recalling six trail mix products across its eight-state region due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The Minnesota legislative session collapsed at midnight Sunday after House and Senate leaders deadlocked on a scaled-down transportation proposal and a multimillion-dollar public works package. The dramatic breakdown came after hours of closed-door talks and marathon floor sessions to quickly approve more modest issues such as new state spending and a menu of tax cuts. http://www.startribune.com/divided-mn-legislature-scrambles-to-finish-taxes-spending-public-works-transportation-before-deadline/380441791/#1...
After attending her prom, a North St. Paul high school senior was found unresponsive and later died at a hospital Saturday night, the school district confirmed Sunday. In statements from principal Greg Nelson and North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale Superintendent Christine Osorio, the teen was identified as 18-year-old Anna Jaskulka. http://www.startribune.com/north-st-paul-teen-found-unresponsive-on-prom-night/380434211/...
LOS ANGELES — After three military combat tours in warn-torn Iraq, Chase Millsap returned home to get on with a civilian life, but there was one thing he couldn't do: leave a comrade behind, certainly not one who had saved his life. Especially not the former Iraqi military officer who, because he had worked with the Americans, was now living a precarious existence as a refugee dodging Islamic State militants seeking to kill him. http://www.startribune.com/us-veteran-seeks-asylum-for-iraqi-man-who-saved-his-life/380452411/...
A digital billboard put up last week along a busy freeway in downtown Toronto blatantly encouraging motorists to “Text and Drive” generated a lot of buzz and even outrage that the advertisement was sponsored by a funeral home. On the surface, it appeared as if the Wathan Funeral Home was trying to drum up business. But really, the eye-catching and somewhat morbid message was a deftly crafted public service announcement to get drivers to put down their phones. http://www.startribune.com/the-drive-billboard-delivers-dark-cleve...
An apparently intoxicated young woman stole a University of North Dakota squad car on Sunday, police say, driving it from Grand Forks to Crookston where she was involved in a crash so violent the vehicle’s engine broke free. Yet the driver, 23, suffered only minor injuries, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. She was not a UND student, UND police said. http://www.startribune.com/young-woman-stole-squad-car-drove-it-25-miles-then-crashed/380431341/...
Banks are starting to make a bigger play for a market they’ve long ignored: people without a traditional bank account. The latest company to aim for customers outside the financial mainstream is TCF Financial. The Wayzata-based company is rolling out a service called ZEO at its 342 branches Monday that enables customers to cash checks, start a savings account, deposit money directly to a reloadable prepaid debit card and pay bills — all without a standard checking account. http://www.startribune.com/tcf-launches-new-service-...
DETROIT — In downtown Detroit, startups and luxury retailers are opening up and new office buildings are being built as the city works to recover from its deep economic problems. Six miles to the north, in the neighborhood of Hope Village, residents like Eric Hill are trying to participate in that progress but are running into hurdles. His difficulties were apparent on a recent Tuesday when he crowded into the public library to use the computers to look for a new job. With no Internet service at home or on his mobile phone, Hill had few o...
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton has a message for Donald Trump: keep on talking. She's just weeks away from wrapping up the Democratic presidential nomination, and friends, aides and supporters describe a candidate who isn't particularly rattled by what she expects will be Trump's increasingly direct attacks on her marriage and husband's personal indiscretions. In fact, Clinton believes that she can turn Trump's deeply personal assaults to her benefit, they say, particularly among suburban women who could be crucial to her hopes in the fall. H...
So we're starting the House floor session with no supplemental budget bill posted electronically by the Revisor's Office -- a 600-page document that spells out the details of how lawmakers will spend the state's surplus on education, broadband, equity and many other areas. Michele Timmons, the revisor of statutes, said the document would not be ready until as late as 7, and that it would take a half-hour just to print out a few copies for the House and Senate. The House has to vote for the spending package before sending it to the Senate...
The construction of a crude oil pipeline that would cross the Midwestern United States has hit a roadblock in Iowa amid lawsuits challenging the eminent domain process used to secure lands for the pipeline’s route. Dakota Access, LLC, a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, is behind the Bakken Pipeline project. It's a conduit that would run underground from North Dakota’s Bakken oilfields to Patoka, Ill. carrying 570,000 barrels of oil per day. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2016/0522/Why-the-Iowa-por...
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ The Narragansett Indian Tribe would be able to grow hemp in Rhode Island under a new bill proposed in the state's General Assembly. Rep. Helio Melo, an East Providence Democrat, introduced the legislation on Thursday. http://www.abc6.com/story/32031851/a-new-bill-would-let-the-narragansett-tribe-grow-hemp...
(CNN) - By now, I expect Donald Trump, who wants to be our president, to voice whatever acerbic thought he has. He has used adjectives such as "bimbo" and "fat pig" to describe women. So who could be surprised that he began attacking Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, by calling her "the Indian" and "Pocahontas." http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/21/opinions/donald-trump-elizabeth-warren-native-american-moya-smith/...
PINE RIDGE, S.D. — Authorities and volunteers are well into their second week of searching for three missing men on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Juan Lamont, 24, Tevin Tyon, 21, and Tyrell Wilson, 23, were last seen in Pine Ridge on May 7. The Oglala Sioux Tribe declared a state of emergency four days later, and authorities issued a multistate missing persons advisory. http://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/search-expands-for-missing-men/article_d8e526a3-6994-5a54-9c29-2a7113f63600.html...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A U.S. Justice Department official identified significant gaps Wednesday in a federal law aimed at addressing high rates of violence against Native American women, saying the law should be expanded to broaden tribes' authority over certain child abuse cases. In 2013, Congress gave tribes power to prosecute non-Native Americans in domestic and dating violence cases. The push for the law came amid outcry from victims' advocates who cited federal figures showing most assaults involved offenders who weren't Native A...
Between 1846 and 1870, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Diseases, dislocation and starvation caused many of these deaths, but the near-annihilation of the California Indians was not the unavoidable result of two civilizations coming into contact for the first time. It was genocide, sanctioned and facilitated by California officials. Neither the U.S. government nor the state of California has acknowledged that the California Indian catastrophe fits the two-part legal definition of genocide set forth by t...
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A dead South Dakota couple who had financial oversight over a nonprofit aimed at helping Native American students allegedly took money from the organization to save up for their own children's educations, recently filed civil court documents reveal. The new litigation offers more details about Scott and Nicole Westerhuis' spending before their September murder-suicide, which launched a financial investigation surrounding the GEAR UP program that unearthed theft authorities believe could top $1 million. h...
TONAWANDA INDIAN RESERVATION (WKBW) - It didn’t take long for deputies in Genesee County to catch up to the pair who they say robbed a smoke shop at gunpoint. Deputies took Mistydawn Souza, 26, and Jeremy Reynolds, 34, both of Johnsville in Fulton County, into custody around 2pm on Saturday, just 36 hours after the pair allegedly held up Smoke Rings on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation. http://www.wkbw.com/news/police-blotter/clerks-fight-off-armed-robbers-suspects-caught...
As the country begins to reconcile its sometimes inglorious past, as with Confederate statues and heroes being swept into the dustbin of history, President Barack Obama signed a bill taking racially offensive words such as “negro” and “Oriental” out of all Federal laws, reports Mediate. Sponsored by Congresswoman Grace Meng and co-sponsored by all 51 members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, bill H.R.4238 will strike words such as “Negro, American Indian, Eskimo, Oriental, or Aleut or a Spanish speaking individual of Spanis...
DES MOINES — Discovery of an archaeological site that may have cultural significance to Native Americans could delay construction of a $3.8 billion oil pipeline further if government officials require the route to be moved. Houston-based Dakota Access LLC wants to build the pipeline — designed to carry a half-million barrels of oil per day — from northwest North Dakota to a storage facility in south-central Illinois. Construction has begun in North Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois, but the Iowa Utilities Board has not authorized work to begin...
HELENA, Mont. | A federal judge in Vermont has rejected Montana tribal officials' claims of sovereign immunity and said that he will hear a civil case alleging the tribe's online payday lending company illegally preys on poor borrowers. U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford's order Wednesday to proceed with the lawsuit against Plain Green LLC's leaders and non-Native American backers is a setback for lenders who use tribal sovereign immunity to offer high interest short-term loans in states with laws that bar or cap such loans....
Senators propose bill to reform Native American health agency on Thursday that aims at improving the Indian Health Service, the agency that provides healthcare to Native Americans on reservations. Senator John Barasso of Wyoming introduced the legislation along with Senator John Thune of South Dakota, and said in a statement that it was “an important first step? toward ensuring tribal members receive proper healthcare. http://www.legalreader.com/senators-propose-bill-to-reform-native-american-health-agency/...
