The city of Bloomington, which once issued a one-year moratorium on medical marijuana, has opened its doors to the state’s next dispensary. The City Council this week approved plans to open a medical cannabis care center by midsummer. The unanimous vote came after the city spent a year watching how Minnesota’s fledgling medical marijuana program was working in other communities. http://www.startribune.com/bloomington-welcomes-medical-pot-clinic/378045541/...

STUTTGART, Germany — U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter blasted what the U.S. and its allies see as Russian aggression in Europe, saying Tuesday that Moscow is "going backward in time" with warlike actions that compel an American military buildup on NATO's eastern flank. "We do not seek to make Russia an enemy," Carter said at a ceremony to install a new head of the military's U.S. European Command and top NATO commander in Europe. "But make no mistake: We will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it a...
NEW YORK – For New Yorkers who rely on the 86th Street subway station on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the morning commute is a humbling experience. An endless stream of people pushes onto the platforms. Trains arrive with a wall of humanity already blocking the doorways. As No. 6 trains pull into the upper level of the station, riders scan for an opening and, if they can, squeeze in for a suffocating ride downtown. “You can wait four or five subways to get on, and you’re just smushed,” Cynthia Hallenbeck, the chief financial officer...

PORTLAND, Oregon — The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has broken ground on a new marijuana-growing facility that is set to be Oregon's first tribal-owned marijuana grow operation. The construction work on the 36,000-square-foot greenhouse started Friday and is expected to be complete by the end of the year. The tribe plans to open three retail stores, with sales slated to begin in early 2017. http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/story/519654e472f54bcbb5fcf71756b92850/OR--Warm-Springs-Marijuana...
In a video released Tuesday, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and Grand Canyon Trust claim that the White Mesa uranium mill in southeast Utah puts local water sources at risk of contamination. The 36-year-old mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the country. It also borders the White Mesa community, a satellite reservation of the Ute Mountain Ute reservation. http://www.the-journal.com/article/20160503/NEWS01/160509967/0/FRONTPAGE/Ute-tribe-argues-that-uranium-waste-threatens-water...
“Off the reservation” is a term I’ve heard tossed off casually by policymakers and bureaucrats from the White House to Capitol Hill, and by reporters who cover them and editors and producers who place stories and write headlines. When that term is used in my presence, I can tell if its user knows its history -- or gets that the historical reference is hurtful or offensive to many Native Peoples today -- because I’m given a full or partial apology or a sheepish or apologetic look.

A 19-year-old from North Spirit Lake First Nation is the key to solving a boil water advisory in place in his community for nearly as long as he has been alive. The remote First Nation, about 800 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ont., has been under a boil water advisory for 14 years. Now, a unique program spearheaded by the Northern Chiefs Council (Keewatinook Okimakanak), is allowing people like Quentin Rae to take the initiative and the responsibility for providing clean water in their own communities. http://www.cbc....
The human brain begins as a neural tube that develops five weeks after conception. Years later, it is fully formed. On Tuesday, experts in neuroscience, genetics and social work met in Manhattan to talk about what can happen to it along the way, and what emerging research tells us about how children who seem broken can be made whole. Officially, the meeting was called Poverty, the Brain and Mental Health. It could have been called This Is Your Brain on Poverty. Or: Don’t Give Up on Little Kids. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05...
A controversial California State Parks proposal may result in local tribes having to pay to access traditional sites along the coast in Sonoma County north of San Francisco, according to Reno Franklin, tribal chairman of the Kashia Pomo at Stewart’s Point Rancheria. “The way it stands right now, if the proposal goes through without any tribal consultation, it will mean we will have to pay to pray at sites we have had free access to for all these years,” Chairman Franklin told ICTMN. “Five of the eight beaches slated for the new charges are wit...

Harvey Dorion was walking to his brother's house after school last Wednesday when he noticed the little boy in the ditch.

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...

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A man accused of killing another man on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and hiding the body in the trunk of a car while he recruited others to help dispose of it has reached a deal with prosecutors.
