PHILADELPHIA — On the heels of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton arrives in Philadelphia eager to show off a forward-looking Democratic Party united behind her steady leadership. To do that, she must overcome lingering bitterness among supporters of defeated rival Bernie Sanders and clean up a resurgent political mess of the party's own making. The resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee made for a rocky start on Sunday, as the Florida congresswoman heeded Sanders' l...
Michael R. Bloomberg, who bypassed his own run for the presidency this election cycle, will endorse Hillary Clinton in a prime-time address at the Democratic convention and make the case for Clinton as the best choice for moderate voters in 2016, an adviser to Bloomberg said. The news is an unexpected move from Bloomberg, who has not been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000; was elected the mayor of New York City as a Republican; and later became an independent. But it reflects Bloomberg’s increasing dismay about the rise of Donald T...
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Two people have been killed and more than a dozen shot at a nightclub in Fort Myers, Florida, authorities said. As many as 17 people have been shot in the early Monday shooting at Club Blu, police Capt. Jim Mulligan said.

WASHINGTON — Memory loss may not always be the first warning sign that dementia is brewing — changes in behavior or personality might be an early clue. Researchers on Sunday outlined a syndrome called "mild behavioral impairment" that may be a harbinger of Alzheimer's or other dementias, and proposed a checklist of symptoms to alert doctors and families. Losing interest in favorite activities? Getting unusually anxious, aggressive or suspicious? Suddenly making crude comments in public? http://www.startribune.com/behavior-ch...
I was on the way to play in my sand volleyball league on a recent Thursday, sharing the freeway packed three lanes wide with evening rush-hour commuters heading out of downtown. Traffic was moving at a reasonable pace for 5:30 p.m. Then a menace appeared. A motorist two lanes over used the left shoulder to speed around another driver, then darted into traffic and abruptly slammed on his brakes. The irritated motorist retaliated by gunning it as he shimmied along the skip stripe between commuters in left and center lanes to get ahead of the...
Hillary Clinton and Mary Thomas have little in common, except for this: They both hope to add to the meager ranks of America's female elected officials come January. You know about Clinton, but probably not Thomas — a conservative Republican, opponent of abortion and Obamacare, former general counsel of Florida's Department of Elder Affairs. She's running in Florida's 2nd District to become the first Indian-American woman in Congress. It's no easy task. "There is still a good ol' boys network that is in place," she says, though she insists t...
A Native American caucus is in Philadelphia this week to speak for the priorities of Northwest tribes at the Democratic National Convention. Washington’s Native American Caucus Chair Julie Johnson said it’s possible this year’s 16-member group is the largest native caucus to ever attend a national party convention. “I think it’s very important that we network, that we find out what other people are doing and what their priorities are,” Johnson said. “We need to not push but share the Native American priorities.” http://klcc.org...
MINNEAPOLIS | The FBI is appealing to the public for help in solving a decade-old murder on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation in central South Dakota. Victoria Jane “Vicki” Eagleman, 33, disappeared the weekend of July 28, 2006, from the Lower Brule community, southeast of Pierre.

Arthur Montour owes the State of Oklahoma $47 million, and, so far, three different courts have told the Gowanda businessman and former Seneca Tribal Council member to pay up. Just three weeks after losing his latest legal battle – this one in federal Bankruptcy Court in Buffalo – Montour is again appealing, this time to a U.S. district judge. The appeal is the latest chapter in an eight-year court fight between Montour’s cigarette wholesale company and states as far away as California and Idaho. http://www.buffalonews.com/c...
As of 1969, Congress had passed 5,000 laws for Indians. The effects of the laws had been to reduce the role of Indian tribal leaders and enhance the power of federal officials to regulate Indian people and their lives. The Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969 set the stage for the development of positive Indian programs. We were against the “ations”—relocation and termination. Alcatraz led to the most enlightened Indian policy of the last 100 years. President Richard Nixon said in July 1970 that Indians should have no more termi...
A fire that began Sunday afternoon on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation grew to roughly 1,000 acres in a few hours as it consumed grass and juniper trees, said William Wilson of the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs Sunday evening. The blaze began near Rattlesnake Spring along the Warm Springs River about six miles southeast of the Kah-Nee-Tah Resort Lodge in Warm Springs. In August of 2015, the County Line 2 fire forced about 500 guests and staff to evacuate the resort and it was closed for several days while firefighters battled the flames....

James Bell, Jr., 21, entered the guilty plea Friday in the stabbing death of a man identified as J. J. in August 2014.

Shaken by a vicious dog mauling that killed a 3-year-old boy on the Navajo Nation, local leaders are expressing anger over the attack, saying encounters with stray and feral animals on the vast reservation are all too common and more could have been done to prevent the tragedy. A report from the Navajo Nation Animal Control Program confirmed the child was attacked in the area of Dilkon, Arizona, on July 14 by a pack of dogs, but it does not list the dogs' breeds or indicate whether they were strays or had an owner. Citing the report, a...
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 23, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — Thomas S. Monson, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has been subpoenaed by attorneys for four people who say they were sexually abused decades ago by members of their host families while participating in an LDS Church placement program for Navajo children. An attorney for the LDS Church on Thursday countered the subpoena — which commands Monson to appear Aug. 4 and give a deposition — with a motion to quash the order. If the new motion is granted, it would rende...
As members of Winnipeg's Indigenous community gathered downtown around the Law Courts Building on Saturday, a woman stepped before the crowd, megaphone in hand. "Genocide still exists," she said. "It's real." All of them were there to protest the death of Bradley Errol Green, 26. The man died while he was an inmate in the Winnipeg Remand Centre, a detention facility across the street from the courts. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-remand-centre-indigenous-bradley-errol-green-1.3692801...

Tribes sent representatives and some tribal citizens were there too but Indian Country was missing from the big picture as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accepted his party's nomination on Thursday. The real estate mogul delivered one of the longest acceptance speeches in history and touched on familiar themes of immigration, free trade and law and order. He also broached some surprising topics -- he vowed to "protect our LGBTQ citizens" although he said it was to protect them from "Islamic" terrorism. Otherwise, there was...

Members of several northern Minnesota Ojibwe Bands are preparing a legal challenge to reaffirm hunting, fishing and gathering rights guaranteed by their 1855 Treaty with the United States. In recent decades, tribes have overwhelmingly prevailed in similar legal challenges in the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes Region. However, the implications of the 1855 challenge go deeper. “It is important that everyone understands the indigenous environmental justice focus of this challenge,” says Winona LaDuke, White Earth Ojibwe and executive dir...

The call to Pine Ridge Ambulance Service from police dispatchers was received at 4:03 a.m. Read more at http:/...
Point Douglas in Winnipeg’s North End is becoming a focal point for inspiration and hope. It’s a surprising turn of events for one of the country’s most depressed neighbourhoods in a major Canadian city. Residents, including six Indigenous women, focused their cameras on a subject they know all too well — their lives and dreams. http://aptn.ca/news/2016/07/22/indigenous-women-in-troubled-winnipeg-neighbourhood-tell-their-stories-through-photographs/...
A lawsuit recently filed by members of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes residing on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation claims that police picked up dozens of drunk and homeless Native Americans and detained them without charging or arresting them. The complaint was filed against officials in Wolf Point, Montana, which is situated on the reservation. They allege that officers in Wolf Point, did not arrest or charge any of the people, but just wanted them off streets while a rodeo was in town. Court documents say that the Wild Horse Stampede and...
PEMBROKE — The Lumbee Tribal Council of North Carolina’s regular monthly meeting was cancelled Thursday after not enough members of the 21-member council showed up. Speaker Bill James Brewington called the meeting “adjourned” after a roll call was taken and it was determined that the council was short of the quorum needed to conduct business. Brewington did not say when, or if, the meeting would be re-scheduled. https://robesonian.com/news/89904/tribal-council-falls-short-of-quorum...
