St. Paul, Minn. — Suspected black market fishing operations on two Indian reservations in northern Minnesota are under federal investigation. Enforcement agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service led the so-called 'takedown' of illegal netting and walleye-selling operations on the Red Lake and Leech Lake reservations last weekend. The takedown also involved state and tribal conservation officers. No arrests were made, but an investigation continues, said Jeanne Cooney is a spokesperson f...

Ponemah, MN - The distance from Ponemah to the New Beginnings Program Building in Redby is well over 30 miles--even further if one doesn't live in the main town area. And if one is unemployed or doesn't have reliable transportation, that can be a problem. New Beginnings has over 200 clients they serve in the Ponemah area, so to better meet their needs, they decided to set up an office there so they wouldn't have to travel so far for services. Although the office will be situated temporarily in...

The first symposium (2009) brought researchers from the University together with tribal elders from across northern Minnesota. It offered an opportunity to share knowledge about manoomin and build a better understanding between native knowledge holders and University researchers on wild rice in a good way. That initial gathering was very powerful and long overdue. One outcome of the symp...

Last month I wrote an article in the Native American Times where I argued that, from an economic standpoint, New York State’s recent legal attack on tribal sovereignty made absolutely no sense. I argued that the state’s approach to taxation – forcing tribal governments to act as New York tax collectors – had to be more involved than meets the eye. In essence, the state’s tax enforcement policies allow $1.4 billion to slip through its hands. Instead of focusing on this revenue, however, New York has chosen to specifically target tribal sm...
