A Browning woman has been charged in U.S. District Court for the death of a man on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in early June. According to the federal court affidavit, Danielle Marie Marceau (also known as Daniell Marie ComesAtNight) was charged with the murder of Waylon Lee Mittens after Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services found his body during a welfare check at the request of family who had not heard from him in several days.

On May 25, 2020, 46-year-old George Floyd died on a sidewalk while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police. This was only the latest event in a chain of police killings of Black citizens over decades, one that sparked protests across the country and around the world. From the ground here in Minneapolis, the initial news of Floyd's killing seemed like more of the same. We've lived for years with a militarized police force that is largely white, often incompetent, and beholden to its union...
The Trump administration's COVID-19 response efforts in Indian Country are back in the spotlight again. Key lawmakers are hearing from two agencies that have been forced to toe the line by a president who continues to send mixed and conflicting messages about a disease that has affected the first Americans at disproportionate rates. The Indian Health Service has repeatedly touted its coronavirus initiatives in more than a dozen conference calls with tribal leaders. But the agency has faced repeated complaints about a proprietary machine that pr...

The topic of issuing permits and who has the jurisdiction to do so on the original 1855 Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Reservation was one among several topics readers submitted to the Messenger earlier this year when we committed to address concerns that may arise if the courts rule in favor of the Band's boundary definition to include the 61,000 acres of the lower half of Lake Mille Lacs. This topic was brought to the forefront due to a stormwater permitting renewal issue in which the property...
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held Monday that Washington state has jurisdiction over crimes involving non-Native Americans on the Yakama Nation reservation. Public Law 280, which was passed in 1953, gave states the “consent of the United States” to assume full jurisdiction over causes of action on Native American reservations by state legislative act. Washington assumed some of this power in 1963. In 1968, states were authorized to voluntarily give up “all or any measure of the criminal or civil jurisdiction, or both,” that it...
NEAR MACY, Neb. (KTIV) - Tribal and federal investigators are looking into the death of a northeast Nebraska woman. A statement from the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, which was released late Tuesday night, acknowledges the death of Lenice Blackbird. But, the statement doesn't say how she died, or when she died. It does say that Omaha Nation Law Enforcement is working with the FBI in the investigation of Blackbird's death.

PENDLETON, Ore. - A ranching couple in northeast Oregon says they are frustrated and heartbroken after struggling to protect their cattle from wolves earlier this spring. Cassie Miller and her husband, John Petersen, graze several hundred mother cows and their calves on roughly 10,000 acres of spring pasture owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the Blue Mountains east of Pendleton. Most of Oregon's 158 documented wolves live in the state's northeast corner,...
