Hope evaporated Tuesday for a woman surviving the consequences of a perilous passing maneuver on a southern Dakota County highway that ended in a crash that killed her husband, who was driving the family’s SUV, and the couple’s 1-year-old daughter. The woman’s mother said that after the crash, which occurred midday Monday northeast of Randolph, the woman lost the fetus she was carrying and that as of Tuesday afternoon she was “only being kept alive with life support.” “The medical team have done everything that they were able to do to keep the...
It appears at first glance that St. Anthony police are targeting black people for arrest. Data released by the Minneapolis suburb last week show that 41 percent of the people whom St. Anthony police arrested last year were black — nearly seven times what one might expect, given that they make up about 6 percent of residents in the department’s patrol area. Yet nearly every Twin Cities metro-area police department exhibits a racial disparity in its arrest rates, according to a Star Tribune analysis of recently released FBI Uniform Crime Rep...
Nearly every police officer patrolling the streets of downtown and north Minneapolis will be outfitted with a body camera by the end of this week, in what department and city officials called a critical step in capturing crucial evidence while repairing fractured relationships between police departments and the communities they serve. The estimated 100 officers in the downtown First Precinct started wearing cameras on July 11, officials said at an afternoon news conference at precinct headquarters. By the end of the week, their counterparts in...
Two hundred National Guard soldiers, armed with rifles, were called out to end an inmate hunger strike at the St. Cloud Reformatory in July 1966. The 25-hour hunger strike by 186 prisoners erupted on July 18 in the recreation yard and ended the next day when the National Guard surrounded the protesters. The last of the 36 prisoners surrendered and returned to their cells about 10 minutes after the soldiers arrived. The inmates’ beef was over pork. http://www.startribune.com/prisoners-beef-too-much-pork-50th-anniversary-of-st...
This week’s “feels like” forecast of 110 degrees will send a whole lotta folks heading for Margaritaville. Or Gimlet-ville. Or Gin-and-Tonic-ville. Or any ville that swizzles a bracing bit of lime with booze and enough ice to beat the heat. For many, that hit comes from Rose’s Lime Juice, a sweetened citrus cordial first used to stave off scurvy among sailors who needed Vitamin C but now one of barkeepers’ main go-to sources for lime flavoring. http://www.startribune.com/no-rose-s-lime-juice-it-s-there-but-you-have-to-hunt/3...
From construction workers in Dubai to farmers in India, workers around the world are suffering from excessive heat fueled by climate change. The heat is leading to huge productivity losses and mounting economic strain for many countries, according to research published this week ahead of a United Nations forum. The study builds on research detailing how extreme heat in some places prevents employees from working during the hottest hours of the day. People simply tire faster and accomplish less the hotter it gets. That lost work time translates...

POPLAR – On a reservation ravaged by methamphetamine abuse, the Fort Peck Tribal Council recently took a very unpopular vote. The council shot down a proposed law that would have created more harsh penalties for possession of meth. After a 13-month-old girl was found dead in a Dumpster here in April and a few weeks earlier a 4-year-old was abducted in Wolf Point, tribal Chairman Floyd Azure blamed methamphetamine for the incidents. The mood on the reservation at the time was one of hopelessness, with even Azure saying he didn't know how the c...
Yesterday, a Yurok Public Safety Department and Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office-led team of more than 40 law enforcement officers started serving search warrants at massive marijuana farms that are devastating the environment in Yurok ancestral territory. “We are targeting the illegal grows that pose the biggest threat to our community,” said Thomas P. O’Rourke Sr., Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “We will not be idle, while these growers damage our natural resources, water supplies and way of life.” This collaborative law enforcement...
MADISON — People without photo identification will be able to vote in November’s general election by signing an affidavit stating they could not obtain identification, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman issued a preliminary injunction order on Tuesday in a case challenging the state’s law requiring voters to have photo identification, granting a request from the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU’s request called for an affidavit option for voters who face a “reasonable impediment” to obtain a valid photo...
It's located right smack on the southern border of South Dakota and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation which outlaws alcohol. There are a handful of beer stores in tiny Whiteclay and they are magnets for local South Dakotans in search of drink -- especially those addicted to alcohol. The combination creates toxic and seemingly intractable problem. The town is overrun by people looking for that next drink. They hang about on street corners or congregate in nearby bushes. The town is unincorporated and therefore has no local ordinances to address...

A new bill to establish and fund business incubators in Indian country was introduced Thursday. The goal is to help start-up and cultivate Native-owned small businesses that will create more jobs and support their surrounding communities. The Native American Business Incubators Program Act was introduced on Thursday by senators Jon Tester (D-Montana), Maria Cantwell (D-Washington), and Tom Udall (D-New Mexico). “Starting a business is a challenge anywhere, but folks in Indian country face even more obstacles when they try and get a business o...
A study showing a dearth of minority judges in Canada has advocates suggesting the country must seize a unique opportunity to increase racial diversity in a "judiciary of whiteness." "After many years of saying this is an important issue, it's very disappointing to see how low the numbers are," said Naiomi Metallic, a Mi'kmaq woman who is the chair of Aboriginal law and policy at Dalhousie University. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/canada-shortage-of-non-white-judges-creates-an-obvious-gap-1.3685026...
FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Two people accused of dealing drugs on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation have signed plea agreements in federal court. Mason Fox and Amelia Reed have agreed to plead guilty to distribution of methamphetamine, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Authorities say the defendants sold drugs on the reservation between May and November of last year. Fox also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition by a drug user. He faces an additional 10 years in prison. In exchange for their pleas,...
The latest annual report from Alberta Health reveals the growing gap between the life expectancy of First Nations and other Albertans. Indigenous people are dying 12 years earlier than the total provincial population, averaging out at 70.36 years in 2015. That's the lowest it's been in five years. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/first-nations-life-expectancy-alberta-1.3685833?cmp=rss...
There’s a cruel joke often told in Indian country: “Don’t get sick after June.” The sick truth beneath those words is that by summertime the Indian Health Service—tasked with providing basic health care to the nation’s 2 million Native Americans and Alaska Natives—has typically blown its meager fiscal year budget for its Catastrophic Health Emergency Fund. Perhaps even more dangerous to the health of natives across the United States: The IHS does not typically provide coverage for preventive services. Without those types of checkups—the...
After spending four nights sleeping on army-style cots, members of the Red Earth Cree Nation say they're relieved to be back home this morning. "We can't keep doing this," said band councillor Fabian Head in Saskatoon on Monday, as he watched family members pack the box of his pickup truck with foam mats and duffel bags. Floodwater from the Carrot River forced an evacuation of the Swampy Cree reserve on Thursday, forcing 576 people from their homes. Most evacuees stayed at Saskatoon's Henk Ruys Soccer Centre, while others stayed at the...
SALT LAKE CITY — A Navajo man pleaded guilty Tuesday to shooting and killing another man during an argument last summer. Raymus Sheldon Whitehorse, 26, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to manslaughter within Indian Country, a felony, for the death of Anthony John Judy, 31. Whitehorse was indicted by a grand jury in September. According to the plea, Whitehorse had been drinking on Aug. 28 when he went to Judy's home to drink some more. In time, the drinking turned into an argument. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8656...

Darrell Norman Wohlford, 38, is accused along with Cindy Ceballos, Natalie Ceballos, and 25-year-old Casandra Alto in the Feb. 27 death of Christalina Leona Louise Indish.
