It doesn’t look like 300 or so Nooksack Tribal members will be kicked out of the tribe anytime soon. A Monday ruling from the Bureau of Indian Affairs says the tribal council must get B-I-A approval for its enrollment ordinance.

The DEA and Bureau of Indian Affairs uprooted 12,000 marijuana plants from Pit River tribal land in Modoc County after the sister of the "purported" tribal chairman complained her brother had converted a tribal hall into a marijuana processing plant. Federal agents raided two Pit River reservations on July 8: the Alturas Indian Rancheria and the Pit...

STILWELL, Okla. (WOMENSENEWS)-- For six years Brendan Johnson served as U.S. attorney for the State of South Dakota. During his time as federal prosecutor, Johnson says fully 100 percent of the women and girls engaged in the sex trafficking industry were victims of rape and-or sexual abuse earlier in their lives.

More than $700 million worth of loans guaranteed by a federal program serving Native America homebuyers were improperly underwritten, “resulting in an increased risk to the program,” according to a recently released government audit report.

First lady Michelle Obama spoke to Native youth at the White House last week, saying their customs, values, and discoveries "are at the heart of the American story." "Yet as we all know, America hasn't always treated your people and your heritage with dignity and respect.

Two more bison died in the days that followed. http://www.greatfallstrib...
