WASHINGTON– Today, in a settlement agreement with the Navajo Nation, the United States agreed to provide funding necessary to continue clean-up work at abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation. Specifically, the United States will fund environmental response trusts to clean up 16 priority abandoned uranium mines located across the Navajo Nation. The agreement also provides for evaluations of 30 more abandoned uranium mines, and for studies of two abandoned uranium mines to determine if groundwater or surface waters have been affected by t...
A contentious fight over mining and its effect on wild rice has reached new heights, thanks to a recent federal warning. The Environmental Protection Agency says that the state’s refusal to enforce a decades-old pollution rule could undermine its authority to enforce the Clean Water Act in Minnesota. Laws passed in 2015 and 2016 that exempt taconite and other industries from a pollution rule aimed at protecting wild rice may “strike down” the state’s authority to implement federal environmental laws, the EPA said. http://ww...
Former Minnesota Gov. Wendell Anderson, who appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1973 with a big northern pike and wide grin as a symbol of his state’s good life, but then alienated voters when he appointed himself to a vacant U.S. Senate seat, died Sunday, a state official said. Anderson, 83, had struggled with Alzheimer’s for some time before dying of pneumonia while in hospice in St. Paul, said his son, Brett Anderson. “Old age was his least favorite part of life,” Brett Anderson said a few hours after his father’s death, which fol...
ESPINAL, Colombia — Explosives experts wearing heavy body armor light a fuse and take cover behind a concrete-reinforced trench. "Fire in the area!" a commando shouts before a deafening blast ricochets across the Andean foothills and sends a plume of brown smoke 30 meters (100 feet) high. Such drills have intensified for Colombia's military, one of the most battle-tested in the world, as it tries to control skyrocketing cocaine production that has fueled a half-century of war with leftist guerrillas. After six straight years of declining or s...
CASTLEWOOD, S.D. (AP) — Another school district in South Dakota has decided to stop displaying Native American imagery in its school logo. The Castlewood School Board honored voters' informal request to adopt a Spartan head as its new school logo Monday, the Watertown Public Opinion (http://bit.ly/29YJZpn ) reported. The decision comes after four months of discussion that included substantial public input. Castlewood began phasing out its logo of a chief wearing a headdress 15 years ago after activist Betty Ann Gross threatened a lawsuit. S...

Speaking some time ago to a four-state meeting of tribal leaders in Billings, Mont., Alvin Windy Boy, a Montana Chippewa, suggested that reservations deserved a Marshall Plan akin to the post-World War II $120 billion program that rebuilt Europe. “We were annihilated by the turn of the century (1900) but we’ve never been rebuilt,” Windy Boy pointed out. The Marshall Plan was not based solely on American compassion for the 18 European countries that participated. We had a selfish interest in stopping the spread of communism with a strong Europ...
Minority groups are underrepresented among potential jurors in Burleigh and Morton counties, preliminary findings from a study of the state's jury system suggest. The disparities raise concerns about the fairness of jury trials in a state where minorities are arrested and imprisoned at disproportionate rates, according a 2012 state report on racial and ethnic bias in the courts. In order to address potential disparities, the Minority Justice Implementation Committee, which ordered the study, is looking at ways to expand the list of people...
Andrew Watts came to Rapid City's detox center needing help with an infected leg and a night's respite from the streets, but he ended up dead on a floor mat less than 24 hours later. He was killed by complications from his leg infection, even though he was medically examined twice in the hours before he died. Those details of the 46-year-old Watts’ death are being made public for the first time as the result of a Journal investigation. Since Watts died Jan. 14, neither the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, which oversees the detox cen...

Court documents filed this week said FX Drilling has agreed to plead guilty to two criminal charges and pay a $100,000 fine. Earlier this year, a grand jury indicted the company and its field supervisor Quay Geza Torok for the Negligent Discharge of Oil into Waters of the United States and the Failure to Report the Discharge of Oil into Waters of the United States. http://www.ktvq.com/story/3245...

The Senate on Friday passed three bills to improve living conditions for tribes throughout Indian country. Two of them benefit tribes in Oregon and one strengthens and reforms Public Law 102-477 (also known as the 477 program), a comprehensive Native employment and training program. S.1443, also known as the Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2015, was introduced by Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and was unanimously approved by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 21,...
WASHINGTON, D.C. ― U.S. Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) introduced legislation to help launch businesses and create more jobs in Indian Country. Their bill, the Native American Business Incubators Program Act, will establish and fund business incubators in Indian Country to help start and cultivate Native American-owned small businesses. "Small businesses create jobs and opportunity and empower people to shape their own future, and that's why I'm doing all I can to support New Mexico's e...
People are dying. That’s the message tribal leaders took to Congress one more time as a House subcommittee heard testimony on proposed legislation to improve the Indian Health Service. Babies born on bathroom floors, stolen narcotics, surgical instruments washed by hand, nurses who cannot operate a crash cart or start a dopamine drip, unlicensed medical personnel, funds unaccounted for—the list of egregious violations of the Hippocratic oath, not to mention the law, at IHS facilities is long. Some of these complaints go back to the 2010 Sen...
Tess M.M. White had already suffered plenty in her 25 years. Born in Milwaukee, raised in the Potawatomi tribe near Crandon until she left a troubled home at age 15, she moved around a lot, struggled with substance abuse and mourned her younger brother's death from a heroin overdose last year. Then she disappeared from West Allis on May 4. On May 17, farmers found severely damaged human remains in a South Dakota bean field. It took another 10 days to positively identify them as White, who was two months pregnant. http://www....
Heavy rain has led to washouts and water overflows on the access roads to the Shoal Lake Cree Nation, east of Prince Albert, Sask., where residents have been living under a local state of emergency for three days. Work has been underway to repair the road. As of Thursday night, the community remained essentially isolated but with a plan to face any urgent needs. Earlier in the week, as a precaution, some chronically ill residents were moved to Prince Albert and other larger communities so their medical needs — such as dialysis — would not be...
WEBSTER - Tony Ammann is the grandson of former longtime St. Croix Chippewa chief and traditional “midewiwin” spiritual leader Archie Mosay. His mother, Archie’s daughter, has Department of Interior papers certifying her blood quantum requirement to be a member of the tribe. Despite Ammann’s lineage and heritage, the St. Croix Chippewa Tribal Council is actively seeking to banish him from the tribe. Ammann says the attempt at disenrollment is an old vendetta that underlines the need for reform and greater accountability within tribal governa...
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — The California Supreme Court on Thursday said a state court rule intended to protect Indian children caught in custody proceedings is invalid because it conflicts with the state's intent to comply with a federal mandate involving Indian families. In a bid to prevent the breakup of Indian families, Congress in 1978 passed the Indian Child Welfare Act. The act requires Indian guardians and tribes be notified of their right to intervene in custody proceedings involving an Indian child, and that families be provided with r...
MIAMI, Okla. – Attorneys representing chief Bill Fisher and a faction of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe’s business and election committees have filed a request with the Court of Indian Offenses to delay their tribe’s court-ordered election. Documents filed Tuesday afternoon with the court clerk’s office include a notice of intent to appeal and a motion seeking a stay of the court-ordered election for seats on the Seneca-Cayuga’s Business Committee and Grievance Committee. On June 21, Judge Tom Walker invalidated an election conducted at the Seneca-Ca...
SOUTHAMPTON, NY - As summer visitors flock to Coopers Beach, regularly named as one of the most beautiful in the world, members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation are outraged that they are being charged the same fee as non-residents to park. Residents of Southampton Village are able to park at Coopers Beach for free, but non-residents must pay $40 per day or $225 for the season, for parking and admission. And that's something that Shinnecock Indian Nation members take issue with. http://patch.com/new-york/southampton/shinnecoc...
