Gov. Mark Dayton has stepped into the management of Minnesota's premier walleye lake by allowing Mille Lacs' fishing season to continue — under a catch-and-release rule — even after anglers have surpassed a controversial quota established with Indian tribes. It's the first time a governor has interceded since Minnesota began co-managing Mille Lacs with local Chippewa tribes nearly 20 years ago. "Closing the walleye fishing season on Mille Lacs would devastate area businesses and communities," Dayton said Tuesday. "The state's fisheries exp...
Minnesotans with Olympics fever can get some satisfaction closer to home in September with two of the three hottest sporting tickets in state history coming to town in September. The most expensive upcoming event — for now — is the Minnesota Vikings’ home opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 18. That’s also the first regular-season game at U.S. Bank Stadium. Resale tickets to the sold-out game are selling at an average $411. Nine days later, the best male golfers from Europe and the U.S. arrive for the Ryder Cup at Chaska’s Hazeltine...
Drinking water supplies serving more than 6 million Americans contain unsafe levels of a widely used class of industrial chemicals linked to potentially serious health problems, according to a new study from Harvard University researchers. The chemicals — known as polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS — have been used for decades in industrial and commercial products, including nonstick coatings on pans, food wrappers, water-repellent clothing and firefighting foam. Long-term exposure has been linked to increased risks of kid...
History has shown that politicians who interfere with natural resource management get things wrong more often than not. Better, by far, to have professionals trained in wildlife and fishery sciences, and related fields, to decide whether a species should be harvested or protected. Ditto the management of relevant habitats. Of course only the naive believe major natural resource decisions are founded in science alone. Sociology often plays a role. Also culture. And history. And heritage … And politics. http://www.startribune....
SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court expressed frustration at issuing 40 years worth of legal opinions on tribal boundary lawsuits, only to have the cases keep coming back. “We’re beginning to think we have an inkling of Sisyphus’s fate,” the court wrote in an opinion issued Tuesday. The three judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vented in its opinion involving a jurisdictional boundary dispute between the eastern Utah town of Myton and the Ute Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. http://fox13now.c...
There is one woman who is a delegate on the Navajo Nation’s Council. And, last month, she said at a council meeting that she has been sexually harassed as an elected official. Now, Amber Kanazbah Crotty is calling for change. She told The Associated Press tolerance of sexist comments at the tribe’s highest level is a symptom of the larger culture on the Navajo Nation. Women in Indian Country experience violence – including sexual violence – at alarming rates. http://kjzz.org/content/347769/navajo-councilwoman%E2%80%99s-call-...
GALLUP – The Navajo Nation Commission on Emergency Management declared a state of emergency today for communities impacted by recent heavy rain that caused destructive flooding on the reservation. The action opens the door to dedicate tribal resources to help the areas in and around Shiprock that were impacted as well as for coordinating response efforts with the Emergency Operation Center within the tribe’s Department of Emergency Management. The commission's declaration was issued two days after Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye and Vic...
A woman from South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is accused of killing her 2-year-old son, a boy whose father is awaiting trial in last year's death of the child's half brother. The son of Katrina Shangreaux, 28, had bruises, bite marks and other injuries, and investigators believe a potty-training issue triggered the killing on July 28, FBI Special Agent Mark Lucas said in an affidavit filed July 29 in U.S. District Court. The boy was in his mother's custody and living at his grandmother's home in Porcupine. The grandmother "reported...

LINCOLN — The state should hire a full-time law enforcement officer in Whiteclay, Nebraska, and open an alcohol detox center to clean up the notorious border town, an ad hoc committee formed by Gov. Pete Ricketts has recommended. The recommendations, revealed publicly on Tuesday, prompted a group of advocates to renew its call to close down the beer stores in Whiteclay and inspired a state senator to voice optimism that improvements might actually happen. “I think there’s a lot of hope about what we can do in this area,” said State Sen. Pa...
BETHEL – The Southwestern Alaska village of Emmonak split 133 to 119 in Tuesday's voting for a city liquor store, according to an unofficial count. But another 38 questioned and absentee ballots were not included in that total, and they could change the outcome. The vote wasn't on whether to go wet, but rather on a proposed change from dry to a city-run store under state local-option laws. Back in 1991, when residents agreed to ban alcohol sales, importation and possession, the vote was 104-89, according to the state Alcoholic Beverage C...

The storms produced large hail, intense rain and winds in Waywayseecappo, Rossburn, Riding Mountain...
Minnesota officials announced Tuesday that although the state has surpassed its allotted kill limit for walleyes on Lake Mille Lacs, anglers still will be allowed to fish for walleye. Here’s that story. In response, Susan Klapel, Commissioner of Natural Resources for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, released the following statement: “The Mille Lacs Band and the other tribes with treaty rights on Mille Lacs Lake worked in good faith with the State of Minnesota to determine a safe harvest limit for walleye this year.

PHOENIX (AP) - A federal magistrate is recommending that a convicted sex offender who raped an Arizona prison teacher be ordered to pay her $10 million in punitive and compensatory damages, court records show. The woman who was raped inside a prison classroom in January 2014 has already received a $3 million settlement from the state. The rape led to an overhaul of security arrangements for Arizona prison teachers and other unsworn staff members. They were issued pepper spray, cameras were placed in classrooms and the frequency of security...
