Money is pouring into some of the state’s most competitive legislative races as DFLers and Republicans battle for control of the Legislature. Without a race for governor or other statewide offices on the ballot this year, more money and attention is being focused on battleground legislative districts. Consider state Rep. Jim Knoblach’s race. After facing the most expensive legislative race in state history in 2014, the St. Cloud Republican anticipates he’ll need just as much or more money this election season. http://www.sta...

Midwest farmers and bankers face a reckoning this fall as low crop prices and a projected bumper harvest will produce financial losses for the second consecutive year. After nearly a decade of boom times, farmers in the Upper Midwest lost $58 per acre on corn last year and almost $3 per acre on soybeans. Despite that, bankers around the region refinanced farmers’ debt and lines of credit on favorable terms. But with a second year of losses ahead for many farms, patience among lenders is running thin. A credit crunch now looms that would mark a...
While violent crime has receded in Minneapolis in recent weeks, the number of shootings and other violent episodes has remained stubbornly high in certain pockets of the city. Homicides have dropped by about 40 percent in 2016, compared to this time last year, with 17 slayings reported as of July 25, the last date for which numbers had been tallied. Still, in the wake of the recent unsolved drive-by shooting deaths of a grandmother and a 2-year-old boy in north Minneapolis, city officials remain concerned. http://www.startri...
Starting this fall, college students throughout Minnesota will be required to complete training on sexual-assault prevention within their first 10 days of school. And for the first time, their campuses will have to publicly disclose how many sexual-assault complaints they investigate each year, as well as how many result in disciplinary action. Those are two of the new mandates in a state law, which takes effect Monday, designed to combat sexual violence on campus. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-campuses-face-new-rules...
LOCKHART, Texas — A hot air balloon hit high-tension power lines before crashing into a pasture in Central Texas, killing all 16 on board, according to federal authorities investigating the worst such disaster in U.S. history. A power line was tripped at 7:42 a.m. Saturday, and the first call to 911 came a minute later, National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said during a news conference. The crash site was near a row of high-tension power lines, and aerial photos showed an area of scorched land underneath. "There is p...
Pakootas: “Winning Requires a Big Effort” August begins with eight Native American candidates for the U.S. House and Senate. But that number is likely to shrink when the month comes to a close. Three candidates are on the ballot: Democrats Joe Pakootas (Colville) in Washington’s 5th Congressional District,Victoria Steele (Seneca) in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District; and, Republican Shawn Redd (Navajo) in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. The first of these primary elections is in Washington. Votes will be counted on Tuesday, Aug. 2. I...
Portland schools appear to have continued to give parents and students false assurances about environmental safety at schools, based on a lead awareness activist's tests at a North Portland Head Start center where the district had said paint scraping posted "no safety concerns." Tamara Rubin, the executive director of the Lead Safe America Foundation, used a sophisticated lead meter to test that paint at the former Applegate Elementary, now used to house Head Start classes. She detected high levels of lead in paint in multiple places that were...
Neighbors to the American Indian Magnet School may need to prepare for some louder-than-average construction noise within the next few weeks. The school, formerly known as Mounds Park Elementary, is located at 1075 E. Third St., on the corner of Earl and Third Street. St. Paul recently received an application for a sound level variance from Target Corporation regarding demolition of existing sidewalks and the removal of trees. http://www.lillienews.com/articles/2016/07/31/landscaping-american-indian-magnet-school-calls-sound...
You have probably read a plethora of news stories generated by first lady Michelle Obama’s remarks about enslavement and the White House in her opening night endorsement speech for Hillary Clinton, delivered at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia: That is the story of this country. The story that has brought me to the stage tonight. The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done. So that today, I...
NIXON, NEVADA — The evacuation has been lifted for the Sutcliffe community on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe’s reservation. A wildfire that began on Thursday night as the result of lightening forced the Tribe to evacuate the Sutcliffe community and part of the Pyramid Lake community on Saturday. “The credit really goes out to our firefighters who did a great job of containing the fire. Even before the evacuation was called, our volunteer firefighters help to make sure the gymnasium in Nixon was ready,” said Scott Carey, tribal business officer...
Prompting some to ask whether the use of force has to do with racial bias against Native Americans, body-camera footage released on Thursday shows an Arizona police officer drawing his gun on a petite woman armed with a small pair of scissors. Native Americans are disproportionately killed by police nationwide. After officers suspected her of shoplifting in a local store and confronted her, 27 year old Loreal Tsingine, was shot and killed by Winslow police officer Austin Shipley in late March. In the video, after police shove her to the...

Dylan Laboucan was smart and gifted, a polite young man with a smile for everyone. Cory Grey was strong and outgoing, a bigger-than-life young woman who simply would not allow tragedy to shape her destiny. "They were going to be leaders in their community," said Eddie Sargent, who taught both teens at the reserve school in a tiny community north of Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/slain-whitefish-first-nation-couple-were-wonderful-kids-destined-to-lead-their-community-1.3701765...
PHILADELPHIA — Edward Manuel ticks off the issues–water shortages, federal approval of mining projects, allocation of scarce resources–all decisions made with what he thinks is insufficient input from the nation’s tribes. That’s why Manuel, the chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, joined scores of tribal leaders who called on the next president to have a strong Native American presence in political discussions, something they said has been happening under the Obama administration. “Our voice, tribal voice,” was the mantra during Monday’s...
Vermont casts 22 votes for its senator, Bernie Sanders. A minute later, Sanders asks the rules be suspended and that Hillary Clinton be nominated by acclamation. And so the Bernie Sanders’ chapter comes to an end. The question is, “what’s next?” Let’s explore this from a couple of different points of view. What’s Sanders’ story going to be? What’s he going to do to advance causes that are progressive? And, more important for my readers, what will he do to improve life in Indian Country? http://www.indianz.com/News/2016/07/28...
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs police officers on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation have been granted authority to fine non-tribal members for traffic offenses. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe granted BIA officers enforcement powers beginning Monday on the reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border, said Haden Merkel, traffic safety coordinator for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. In the past, when BIA officers pulled someone over for speeding on a state road crossing the reservation, the officer w...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave the Republican Party a short but pointed history lesson Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention, firing back at Donald Trump‘s harsh stance on immigration. “The Trump campaign is marketing a great distraction, using people’s fear and anxiety to drive his ratings,” Cuomo said. http://globalnews.ca/news/2854818/unless-republicans-are-native-american-theyre-immigrants-ny-gov-andrew-cuomo/...
When the Nooksack Tribal Court of Appeals ruled a court clerk was in contempt of court and should be sent to jail until she filed paperwork in a case involving attorneys fighting against disenrollment from the tribe, Nooksack Chairman Bob Kelly said the order was invalid. Kelly said the tribe’s constitution does not provide for a separation of powers. “There is only one branch of government and control of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of the Tribal government fall under the control of the Nooksack Tribal Council,” Kelly...
KEOKUK – About 40 people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe wearily climbed the Southside Boat Club’s sloping parking lot Tuesday morning in Keokuk. Runners were tired, hungry and looking forward to a breakfast donated and prepared by area supporters such as the Thunderbird Society and Standing Bear Council of Keokuk. They’d spent the night at the Hoerner YMCA after completing the most recent leg of their run from South Dakota to Washington, D.C., where they have an appointment on Aug. 5 at the Pentagon and hopefully, the White House. http:...
Details of a long-awaited national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls are expected to be released Wednesday, sources tell CBC News. Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said last week that an announcement was "very close." Sources who spoke to CBC News on condition of anonymity said they have been told the announcement will come Aug. 3. The Liberal government is facing criticism that the inquiry will "lack teeth" after a draft of the terms of reference was obtained by CBC News last week. http...
