At the State of the Band address on March 10, Tribal Chairman Darrell Seki Sr. shared that the band will look to contact the United States Secretary of Interior to discuss restoring the reservation boundaries to fully include Upper Red Lake. Due to allotment in the 1880s, the Red Lake Reservation went from over 3 million acres in size to 300,000. While all of Lower Red Lake was included in reservation boundaries, only a...
The Red Lake Nation College was recently awarded a $1.9 million federal grant through the Biden-Harris Administration's Internet for All initiative. The grant would allow for more expansive broadband services while also leveling the educational playing field. Through the use of federal and tribal funding, schools like the RLNC are able to barely stay afloat in the competitive world of higher education.

Deaths from malnutrition are rare in Minnesota, but they increased in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic - primarily among women 85 and older living alone in rural areas. The unexpected finding was part of a broader Mayo Clinic analysis of final death certificate data in 2020, when 10% of the state's 52,030 deaths were caused by COVID-19. Social-distancing measures in Minnesota might have prevented hundreds or thousands of COVID-19 deaths, Mayo researchers said, but the resulting isolation...
Silicon Valley Bank's collapse - the second largest bank failure in U.S. history - reverberated across the country, including in Minnesota. Companies and venture funds with ties to the bank hustled to make sure their money was safe, while consumers tried to figure out what, if anything, it could mean for them. Silicon Valley Bank - which worked mostly with venture capitalists, startups and other technology firms - failed at the end of last week as customers began pulling out their money....
The intensity of extreme drought and rainfall has ''sharply'' increased over the past 20 years, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Water.

The big picture on water comes from data from a pair of satellites known as GRACE, or Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, that were used to measure changes in Earth's water...

In response to the crisis, regulators guaranteed all deposits at the two banks...

A new pilot study that examines the potential for electronic waste (e-waste) recycling in Minnesota shows that a more concentrated, statewide effort to recycle the valuable metals contained in electronic devices could produce nearly two thousand jobs and provide $2.8 billion in revenue per year.
