In just weeks, Principal Chadwick Anderson and his team at M. Scott Carpenter Middle School will learn whether three years of hard work have paid off. Colorado’s latest set of test scores, set for release in August, will determine whether the school and 28 others will get to stay open in their current form. The schools have been on the state’s academic watch list for chronic poor performance for five years and have run out of time to improve on their own. Now, if Scott Carpenter’s test scores don’t rise, the school could become one of the fir...
In 2013, President Obama launched the ConnectED initiative with the goal of connecting 99 percent of K-12 students in America with access to broadband Internet in the classroom by the year 2018.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Yesterday, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, represented by Earthjustice, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for violating the National Historic Preservation Act and other laws, after the agency issued final permits this week for a massive crude oil pipeline stretching from North Dakota to Illinois. The complaint, filed in federal court in Washington D.C., says the Corps effectively wrote off the Tribe’s concerns and ignored the pipeline’s impacts to sacred sites and culturally important lands...

Workers’ groups hoping to make Minneapolis’ minimum wage one of the highest in the country hit a major obstacle Thursday as the city’s lawyer said the advocates’ ballot petition does not meet legal requirements. In a 16-page written opinion, City Attorney Susan Segal said the petition to let voters decide if the city should amend its charter to set a $15-an-hour minimum wage does not fit into the narrow window of city government issues that can be altered by a popular vote. Minneapolis’ charter does not allow for direct citizen input to pass c...
Amazon.com Inc. started delivery of beer, wine and liquor in the Twin Cities Thursday in partnership with Surdyk’s Liquor & Cheese Shop, a fixture in northeast Minneapolis for eight decades. By noon, the flow of orders had topped expectations and Amazon asked Surdyk’s whether it could expand a limit Amazon had set of 40 per hour. “I said yes,” said Melissa Surdyk, a fourth-generation member of the founding family. “We have the people to help, and we’ve been able to pick [orders] quickly.” http://www.startribune.com/amazon-st...
Hillary Clinton fulfilled the ambitions and dreams of generations of women on Thursday night when she became the first woman to accept a major-party nomination for president of the United States. It is a moment that marks a welcome milestone in this country, whatever the outcome in November. Clinton’s speech was a reflection of her: direct, to the point, a summation of the challenges she’s tackled over a lifetime. The details must come, but Clinton hit on the issues most concerning to Americans: better jobs, more opportunity, a focus on terrori...
A hype-happy national media talking about weather is like watching an excitable puppy with a new toy. Think about it: polar vortex, heat domes, now "corn sweat"? When in doubt make stuff up. I am guilty of routinely disparaging Canada and I take full responsibility for my transgressions. Much of the winter we talk about "Canadian air" as a pejorative, a diss. I wonder if TV meteorologists in Winnipeg or Toronto complain about hot, sweaty "American air" moving in? I should get a research grant and study that for 10 years. htt...
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. —The Cherokee Nation took legal action this week against former Cherokee Nation Foundation Executive Director Kimberlie Gilliland for alleged embezzlement and fraud. The Cherokee Nation Office of the Attorney General filed criminal charges in Cherokee Nation District Court against Gilliland, seeking jail time and fines. Former AG Diane Hammons has been appointed as a special prosecutor for the case. The Cherokee Nation Foundation, represented by attorney Ralph Keen Jr., has also filed a civil case in tribal court, seeking a r...
Native activists and Native Democrats mounted urgent defenses of Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, warning of disaster should Republican rival Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election. Even passionate supporters of Bernie Sanders are vowing to help elect Clinton. While some remain upset that their candidate of choice did not secure the party's nomination, they said Indian Country must stand together to defeat a candidate who has a negative record when it comes to tribal matters, whether it's questioning the identity of indigenous peoples,...
An Oregon teenager could be sentenced to a year in prison for possessing about one gram of marijuana in a federal case that has sparked widespread outrage about the ongoing “war on drugs” – even in US states that have fully legalized cannabis. Devontre Thomas, a Native American 19-year-old, is accused of possessing a small amount of weed – enough for about one joint – and will face a federal trial that advocates say is a waste of resources and a stark reminder that US law enforcement agencies continue to target people of color for low-level...
Devontre Thomas' marijuana-possession case includes a twist: The very tribe he is a member of is poised to become one of the first in the nation to successfully dive into the legal cannabis business. The Warm Springs tribe hopes to open a 36,000-square-foot cannabis cultivation, extraction and wholesaling facility on reservation land in the next year—a project approved by a majority vote of tribal members and coordinated with Gov. Kate Brown's office. The Warm Springs tribe believes getting into the pot business will bring jobs to an area t...
A Navajo woman who was shot dead by a police officer in Arizona, sparking protests, was carrying medical scissors as she approached him, body camera footage has shown. The shooting of Loreal Tsingine, 27, in March, led tribal officials to urge the US Justice Department to investigate the treatment of Native Americans who live in towns that border the reservation. Footage of the 30-second encounter in Winslow however has been made public after a ruling that officer Austin Shipley was justified in shooting her because he feared his life, and...
In a tearful plea to her fellow Navajo Nation Council delegates, Amber Kanazbah Crotty announced for the first time publicly that she had been sexually harassed as an elected official and called for change. Crotty — the only woman on the 23-person board — talked at a recent council meeting about vulgar comments and sexual innuendo directed at her by a colleague. She also said she had been groped while working as a legislative district assistant several years ago. http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Navajo-Nation-leader-...
A Navajo Nation police car was stolen by a hitchhiker last Wednesday, a witness said. Police declined to comment on the incident. Michelle Smiley said she and her husband Marwin Smiley, both from Navajo, New Mexico, saw the incident on Navajo Route 12, in Goat Springs, Arizona, which is south of Fort Defiance, a little after 5 p.m. http://navajotimes.com/reznews/witness-hitchhiker-stole-police-car/...

SAINT PAUL - In June of this year, Secretary of State Steve Simon reminded Minnesotans that beginning this Friday, June 24, eligible voters can begin casting their ballots early for the August 9 Primary Election by voting absentee. Minnesotans can request an absentee ballot to be mailed to them, or they can vote absentee in-person at their county or local elections office. "The summer is a busy time for many Minnesotans, which is why it's so important to request an absentee ballot for the...
After four days of being shut off from its normal supply of water due to an oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River, the Muskoday First Nation has declared a state of emergency. The move was announced Wednesday afternoon when officials said the "discontinued supply of water" required "prompt action." About 800 band members live on the reserve, which is about 15 kilometres south of Prince Albert, Sask. The community is one of several in the area which is connected to a rural water utility that is normally supplied from Prince Albert's water...
Ojibwe stories passed down over generations say the west side of Big Sandy Lake appeared white from a distance in the summer of 1851, like it was covered in snow. But it wasn't snow. "It was as if the snow was still there because you had bodies wrapped in birch bark and the hill was still white," said Jim Zorn as he and others paddled Wednesday across the lake to a memorial site commemorating one of the darkest times in Ojibwe history. More than 400 Native Americans died in the winter of 1850 after the government failed to deliver promised...
An Indigenous company is working to bring high-speed internet to all of Manitoba's 63 First Nations communities. Currently, people in those communities are paying $100 a month on average for internet through a satellite provider. "Manitoba is one of the last jurisdictions in Canada that does not have adequate connectivity," said Jonathan Fleury, the project manager for the Manitoba First Nations Technology Council (MFNTC). http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-first-nations-technology-council-high-speed-internet-1....
A friend of the victim in Sunday’s fatal police shooting says it may have been “suicide by cop.” New Mexico State Police are investigating the fatal shooting of Alvin Silversmythe, 29, of Gallup by Gallup police officers early Sunday morning. Silversmythe’s death is the first fatal police shooting in Gallup since 2003. http://navajotimes.com/reznews/victims-friend-shooting-suicide-cop/...
