The device is used to treat a narrowing of the valve called aortic stenosis, which...
After years of deliberation, state workforce regulators are preparing to enforce tough new limits on paying people with disabilities less than the minimum wage, a practice that has long been decried by civil rights advocates as discriminatory. More than 15,000 Minnesotans with disabilities work for employers who take advantage of a loophole in federal labor law that allows them to pay below the minimum wage, often in cloistered workplaces known as sheltered workshops. Across the state, some large workshops pay people with disabilities as...
Sitting next to his senior citizen friend, Christopher Xu wiggled a diaper pin in front of her face. He proudly declared he knew it was a safety pin. The woman in the wheelchair corrected him. “Those are for holding up diapers,” she said, smiling. Christopher dropped the pins and started to laugh. Heads and wheelchairs turned toward the giggling 6-year-old as he reached for another item on the table — a pink foam roller — and pushed it into his short hair as his new friend, Irma, age 95, explained how she used to use those, too. http://...
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — A wildfire with a ferocity never seen before by veteran California firefighters raced up and down canyons, instantly engulfing homes and forcing thousands of people to flee, some running for their lives just ahead of the flames. By Wednesday, a day after it ignited in brush left bone dry by years of drought, the blaze had raged across 40 square miles, though by the end of the day the first foothold was gained and more than 1,500 firefighters had the blaze 4 percent contained. Authorities could not immediately say how m...

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) - U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Viken expressed dismay Wednesday that he has received no help from Pennington County officials drafting a court order to address shortcomings he identified in certain proceedings involving Native American children.

The proceedings, known as "48 hour hearings" are held to determine if the state has the right to t...

Hundreds of protesters from three tribes and their allies stopped construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline for the second day in a row Wednesday, but law enforcement and private security are now preparing to amp up their presence. The Standing Rock, Rosebud and Lower Brule Lakota tribes have been resisting the pipeline since it was approved by the U.S. Senate in January and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in July, building sacred camps on the pipeline’s proposed path to pray, hold ceremonies on horseback and push back workers and p...

The two women stood on the banks of Blackbird Creek near Macy and prayed for the swollen Missouri River downstream. A mother and daughter praying for their people, the Omaha Tribe, whose homes had been flooded. And as they presented offerings of food and tobacco to the spirits, Alice and Renee Sans Souci heard their ancestors singing to them from the trees around them. http://journalstar.com/news/local/local-natives-collect-supplies-for-pipeline-protesters/article_68306831-e39f-555f-8619-9143eef3623f.html...

Chairman Dave Archambault II said he’s spreading the word among tribal members and hundreds who have come from out of state that violence diminishes the power of their message. “There’s no place for threats, violence or criminal activity,” Archambault said in a call with reporters Wednesday. “That is simply not our way. The tribe will do all that it can to see that participant...

The News & Observer obtained copies of the emails through a public records request.

A Sac and Fox tribal judge Saturday issued a temporary order vacating the tribe’s general council’s removal that day of three of five tribal council members who faced a recall petition.

An Arizona Best Western is under fire after a manager responded to an online customer complaint by blaming it on the hotel’s Native American staffers — and then fired an employee who complained about the comments. As reported by KPNX, an unhappy patron left a note online for the management of the Best Western Plus at Lake Powell, complaining about the front desk help and adding that water was not available and the coffee in the lobby was bad. In a response — since removed — the “Guest Relations Manager” apologized before stating that the “N...
