This won’t be fun to write. It’s no fun, of course, to take the side of letting the facts direct our opinions, even if that makes the most sense. You know what’s fun? It’s fun to let our imaginations take over, to theorize and suppose, to fit every square peg of a news story into our round-hole point of view. To know what happened - and why, of course - without having to really know. http://www.startribune.com/first-let-s-get-the-facts-on-police-shootings/385878521/...
The Lumbee Tribe has dropped its federal suit against beer giant Anheuser-Busch and a North Carolina distributor.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Native people have a long history with natural healing and the use of herbal remedies. That’s why Gathering of Nations founder Derek Mathews says the powwow’s new title sponsor, regional cannabis producer Ultra Health, “is a great fit.” Mathews said Wednesday that he and Ultra Health CEO and President Duke Rodriguez have signed a five-year sponsorship agreement with an option for another five years. Neither would reveal the amount of that investment, only saying it was “in the six figures.” http://www.abq...
BROWN COUNTY - (WLUK) The Oneida Nation Indian Tribe is considering adding a sales tax for retailers operating on tribal land. The tax would be in addition to the state's five percent sales tax.

In recent years, media coverage of Indigenous people and communities has been getting more and more prominent. In newspapers, on the airways, or increasingly on the web, Indigenous stories have become mainstream. While CBC Aboriginal and the network's national radio program Unreserved are part of this trend, we're not alone in sharing Indigenous stories with a national audience. Here's a look at five independent media outlets from across the country, created and staffed by Indigenous journalists. http://www.cbc.ca/news/abori...
Like a lot of recent American high school graduates, I spend way too much time on Twitter, I'm a huge Lady Gaga fan, and I can't wait to go to college in the fall. But instead of spending my first few days of summer break going to the beach or partying with my friends, I'm in the midst of taking part in a Bear Dance, a four-day-long healing ceremony where we sing in our traditional Athabaskan language and dance in a wild, heavily wooded part of New Mexico. It's an amazing time to get away from the burdens of technology and actually have a...
The death toll continues to climb for a reservation community that has gone seven months without an emergency department. Eric Emery, program director of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Ambulance Service, on Thursday said nine people have died in the backs of ambulances since December when the government agency that runs the area hospital announced that it would divert patients from the Rosebud hospital's emergency department. Probes by another federal agency found that the hospital had dangerous deficiencies and reports indicate that employees at...
Despite a request to be released, a man accused of stabbing two men — killing one and critically injuring the other — in April on Spirit Lake Reservation must stay in jail until his trial, a judge decided Thursday. Dallas Wayne Thundershield, 36, faces four charges in federal court, including murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in substantial bodily injury. Thundershield was arrested and charged after police say he killed 52-year-old Richard Dean DeMarce Sr. by hitting him wit...
He has a status card, but no Aboriginal bloodlines. The question of Josiah Wilson's Indigenous identity is at the centre of a human rights case launched against an All-Native sports event in northwestern B.C. after he was banned from participating earlier this year. Josiah was banned from the annual basketball tournament in Prince Rupert, B.C., in February for not having at least 1/8th First Nations ancestry or "blood quantum." The 20-year-old is of Haitian descent and was adopted as an infant by a Heiltsuk First Nations father and a white...
