Brenda Osborne walks down Selkirk Avenue in Winnipeg's North End and lovingly touches the worn, hand-made signs bearing the picture of her daughter Claudette Osborne-Tyo who went missing 12 years ago. "Twelve years, no answer, no tips, no links, nothing. We just wait every day," she said. On Saturday night, Osborne held a vigil at the spot where her daughter was last seen - the corner of Selkirk Avenue and King Street and opened the ceremony with drumming, an honour song and smudging....

FARMINGTON — The Navajo Nation Council approved an override of tribal President Jonathan Nez's veto to cancel the primary election for the Navajo Nation. This year's election will determine seats for chapter governments, boards and other offices.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —A new SNAP rule could impact 30,000 New Mexican’s ability to put food on the table for their families. “Everyone should have access to food.
