The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, has described the fight for the Syrian city of Aleppo as one of the most devastating conflicts in modern times. Fighting has been intensifying during the past weeks with hundreds of people killed and untold numbers injured. Public services have all but broken down. Tens of thousands are trapped and without aid. "No one and nowhere is safe. Shell-fire is constant, with houses, schools and hospitals all in the line of fire. People live in a state of fear. Children have b...

Ilhan Omar, whose victory in a Minneapolis DFL primary last week virtually assured her of becoming the nation's first Somali-American legislator, denied recent reports that she married her brother to commit immigration fraud while remaining married to the man who is the father of her three children. "Allegations that she married her brother and is legally married to two people are categorically ridiculous and false," campaign spokesman Ben Goldfarb said Monday. The questions surfaced over the weekend in a report on the conservative website...
Police have identified a woman shot and killed in her Northfield home Sunday as Lilly Marie Kirckof. Kirckof, 61, was shot by a woman in her 70s who also lived in the house, according to Northfield police. Police arrested the alleged shooter — whose identity has not been made public — but later released her. Authorities on Monday again reassured residents that the public is not in danger. http://www.startribune.com/police-identify-northfield-shooting-victim/390196751/...
Three pedestrians were struck and killed by vehicles in separate incidents in the metro area in the past two days, authorities said. A man died from injuries he sustained Monday after being trapped under an Xcel Energy truck that jumped the curb and hit him at 86th Street and Nicollet Avenue, Bloomington Police said. The Xcel truck was pulling a trailer and headed south on Nicollet Avenue at 6:53 a.m. when it swerved to avoid a car that was making a left turn from northbound Nicollet onto westbound 86th Street. The truck left the roadway, hit...
Two Minneapolis hotels are among the 20 properties nationwide whose point-of-sale terminals were part of a security breach that lasted for more than a year. HEI Hotels & Resorts disclosed late last week that hackers installed malicious software on its payment processing systems in areas such as its food and beverage outlets. The security incident affected the Hotel Minneapolis Autograph Collection, between March 1, 2015, and April 27 of this year and the Westin Minneapolis from Sept. 2, 2015, to June 17 of this year. The hotel company said...
PASTORURI GLACIER, Peru — The tropical glaciers of South America are dying from soot and rising temperatures, threatening water supplies to communities that have depended on them for centuries. But experts say that the slow process measured in inches of glacial retreat per year also can lead to a sudden, dramatic tragedy. The melting of glaciers like Peru's Pastoruri has put cities like Huaraz, located downslope from the glacier about 35 miles (55 kilometers) away, at risk from what scientists call a "glof" — glacial lake outburst flood. A glo...
MILWAUKEE — Following a night of violence that left half a dozen businesses in flames, the Milwaukee police chief expressed surprise at the level of unrest that erupted after the fatal shooting of a black man by a black officer. "This was, quite frankly, unanticipated," Chief Edward Flynn said Monday, two days after the worst of the rioting hit the Sherman Park neighborhood on the city's economically depressed and largely black north side. The chief's statement raised questions about whether authorities could have taken steps to curb the v...
BATON ROUGE, La. — The Latest on flooding in the Deep South (all times local): 10:15 p.m. Officials say they have recovered the body of a woman from inside a flooded vehicle. Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, says witnesses say the woman was seen last night attempting to turn around in high water when her vehicle was swept away. http://www.startribune.com/the-latest-rescues-spike-overnight-in-flooded-baton-rouge/390116871/...
FLANDREAU, S.D. — Two consultants who helped a Native American tribe plan the nation’s first marijuana resort entered opposing pleas Monday to drug offenses, with the attorney for the man who pleaded not guilty arguing outside of court that South Dakota’s top prosecutor is proceeding under a “legal fiction.” Jonathan Hunt, who oversaw the first crop for the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy count in the city of Flandreau, which is adjacent to the tribe’s reservation where the ambitious “adult playground” n...
FLANDREAU, S.D. (AP) - The Latest on two consultants charged in a failed plan to open the nation's first marijuana resort (all times local): 12:40 p.m. The attorney for a consultant facing drug charges in connection with a Native American tribe's failed effort to open the nation's first marijuana resort says the drug for the operation never belonged to this client. Attorney Mike Butler is defending Eric Hagen, the CEO of the Colorado-based consulting firm Monarch America. Butler says he is unaware of any evidence showing that his client...
PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) — Oglala Sioux Tribe members are traveling from their reservation in southwest South Dakota to join a growing protest against the construction of a four-state oil pipeline. Donna Solomon is the tribe's legislative liaison. She says at least two buses and several cars carrying tribal members will arrive Monday evening to the site of the protest in North Dakota, just north of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The Standing Rock Sioux had quietly opposed the Dakota Access pipeline for months near their reservation, but p...
WESTERLY— East Providence was "just country" when the four Spears siblings were children 90 and more years ago. Milk at the farm across the road was 10 cents a gallon. Evening entertainment involved running around the block, inspired by "Tarzan" Brown, a two-time Boston Marathon winner who, like the Spears family, was a Narragansett Indian. On Sunday, the four nonaganerians — Narragansett tribal elders — told family stories reflective of nearly 376 years' worth of collective memories. Stories of generations of cooks and chefs and resta...
A question I am often asked: Are American Indians and Alaska Natives only Democrats? Of course not. There are Native Republicans, Greens, Libertarians, and Independents. Yet the data show that the vast majority of Native Americans vote for Democrats. And run for office as Democrats. Of the active candidates on my #NativeVote16 boards there are 75 Democrats, 14 Republicans, and 4 independents (or no affiliation reported). But if you look at history, there are a lot more American Indians and Alaska Natives who have won office under the...
The Pine Ridge Indian reservation is not the first place you’d look for good news about creating a new kind of economy that works for everyone. This corner of South Dakota includes several of the poorest counties in America, according to census figures. Ninety-seven percent of Pine Ridge’s Lakota Indian population lives below the federal poverty line, reports the American Indian Humanitarian Foundation. The unemployment rate is well over 50 percent. Yet these dire conditions—compounded by public health problems like diabetes and addic...
PINE RIDGE, S.D. - The Federal Emergency Management Agency says roughly 200 manufactured homes have been turned over to tribal residents a year after a federal disaster declaration for the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. FEMA initiated a permanent housing construction program to address the extreme housing need on the reservation after the severe weather disaster. Officials identified over 300 households eligible for repairs or for replacement with a new manufactured home. http://www.kdlt.com/news/local-news/200-Manufactured-...
FORT HALL, Idaho — The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are planning a two-year water-quality study that could result in new restrictions on nearly 30,000 acres of reservation land leased for crop production. Elese Teton, a water engineer with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Water Resources Department, said it’s among several projects the tribes have in the works aimed at protecting their water supply. Teton explained the affected acreage is prime potato production ground located on a sandy plateau atop a shallow aquifer, tied to large springs flowing int...
LAVEEN – A deal to trade drinking water for reclaimed water to irrigate fields on the Gila River Indian Community has been the source of a months-long battle between the small Pii Paash tribe and the larger Gila River community. Concerned for potential health risks for themselves and the surrounding wildlife, the Pii Paash voted on Sept. 19, 2015 to keep reclaimed water out of its territory. However, the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Tribal Government made a deal to install West Side Laterals Pipelines and trade Central Arizona Project d...
John Thorassie will finally get an apology for a "plane ride to hell" that almost led to the destruction of Manitoba's Sayisi Dene people. On Tuesday, the federal government will formally acknowledge its role in forcibly relocating the First Nation 60 years ago and offer compensation. But the formal apology, to take place in Tadoule Lake, will do little to ease his pain over the devastation that occurred after the historic relocation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/ottawa-to-apologize-to-sayisi-dene-1.3722288...
ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — A new state report is recommending that two historic State Capitol paintings be removed from the governor’s office. The controversial paintings depict Native Americans in ways the report says are historically inaccurate and insensitive. The century-old paintings in the governor’s reception room include images of Civil War battles and partially clothed Native Americans in historically inaccurate settings. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/08/15/report-calls-for-removing-controversial-paintings-from-g...
Native American students make up only 1.1 percent of the nation's high school population. And in college, the number is even smaller. More than any other ethnic or racial group, they're the least likely to have access to college prep or advanced placement courses. Many get little or no college counseling at all. In 1998, College Horizons, a small nonprofit based in New Mexico, set out to change that through five-day summer workshops on admissions, financial aid and the unique challenges they'll face on campus. Its director, Carmen Lopez, sat...
Maggie Papik knew something was wrong when she got a call from staff at her uncle Hugh Papik's elders home on Aug. 3. According to Papik, staff told her she needed to "deal with him" because he was drunk. They had found him lying on the ground covered in his own urine. Hugh Papik, a 68-year-old Inuvialuit man, had had several strokes in the past. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/hugh-papik-stroke-racism-1.3719372...
When a tornado or severe wind event strikes, many Canadians head for the basement. But what if you don't have a basement to head to and neither do your neighbours? It's a reality and a growing concern among First Nation leaders as repairs continue in two Manitoba First Nations hit by tornadoes. Last week, one home was destroyed and six others damaged after a tornado struck Waywayseecappo First Nation, Man., northwest of Brandon. Two dozen people were left homeless. In July, 57 homes were severely damaged on Long Plain First Nation, near...
