FARGO — Next Monday, Americans will see something they haven't seen since Jimmy Carter was president, the mini-series "Roots" aired on television and The Village People's "YMCA" topped the charts ... a total eclipse of the sun. Aug. 21 marks the first total solar eclipse of the sun in the continental United States since Feb. 26, 1979. What makes this eclipse even more special is that it's the first time since the United States became a country that a total solar eclipse will occur exclusively over the U.S. — no other country will see tot...
As communities struggle to address the rising popularity of heroin and other opioid narcotics, attention has shifted away from another drug with a nationwide grip. But the popularity of methamphetamine does not seem to be waning. Figures from law enforcement and addiction treatment specialists in North Dakota and Minnesota show that meth remains the most commonly used hard drug in the region, with popularity levels surpassing those seen in the early 2000s. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4314828-meth-still-regions-drug-ch...
A 9-year-old boy operating a recreational utility vehicle crashed it on western Minnesota farmland and was killed, authorities said. The rollover late Thursday afternoon in a Millerville Township hay field behind a home also injured the boy’s 10-year-old sister, who was his passenger, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. http://www.startribune.com/9-year-old-driving-polaris-vehicle-in-w-minn-crashes-dies-sister-10-injured/441121033/...
WASHINGTON – Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian immigrant who met last summer with senior Trump campaign officials, has often struck colleagues as a classic Washington mercenary — loyal to his wife, his daughter and his bank account. He avoided work that would antagonize Moscow, they suggested, only because he profited from his reputation as a man with valuable connections there. But interviews with his associates and documents reviewed by the New York Times indicate that Akhmetshin, who is under scrutiny by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III...
NEW YORK – Six months into her tenure as head of the Small Business Administration, Linda McMahon sees a split among small business owners — they are increasingly optimistic, she says, but many are held back by their inability to get loans or find the right workers for jobs that are staying open. "Entrepreneurs are willing again to be bigger risk-takers than they have been over the past eight years," McMahon said in a phone interview this week with the Associated Press. But, she said, there are also lingering effects of the Great Rec...
BELCOURT, N.D. — Jessica Metcalfe paced the stage in high heels, waiting while they adjusted the lights for a fashion show in an unlikely spot: a reservation in rural North Dakota. Metcalfe, 36, has highlighted Native American-made designs with runway shows in New York City, Phoenix, Santa Fe — big-budget affairs with high-end looks and professional models. But this time, her models were teenagers from the area, a few of them Metcalfe’s cousins. http://www.startribune.com/top-native-american-stylemaker-s-home-base-a-tiny-n-d...
WASHINGTON – A move to undo federal regulations meant to uphold an open, free internet for all users has pitted providers like Comcast against online giants like Facebook — and millions of their customers — in a debate about protecting the First Amendment in a high-tech world. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai, appointed in January by President Donald Trump, is championing the repeal of a 2015 regulatory order that banned internet service providers (ISPs) from manipulating access and loading speeds for websites or appli...
Detroit — A crowd of dozens gathered at the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Randolph Saturday afternoon at the statue of Christopher Columbus. Detroit has largely avoided the controversy regarding Confederate statues and symbols in the week after three people lost their lives while participating in or responding to a Unite The Right rally last Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2017/08/19/christopher-columbus-bust-protest-downtown-detroit/583591001/...
The conversation happening in our nation in light of recent events is more about political correctness than the issue at hand. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and terrorists are bad people. The ideals of these groups are in opposition to everything our nation stands for and everything that holds true to our founding principles. Their hatred of people dissimilar to them is un-American and it should not be tolerated under any circumstances. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/08/21/congressman-native-american-when-political-cor...
On Monday, as millions across the U.S. clamor for a view of the solar eclipse, Freddie Johnson and his family will stay at home and avert their eyes. They will sit quietly in their Mesa home during the four hours it takes the eclipse to complete its journey. They will abstain from food and water. They will not bathe, comb their hair or sleep. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2017/08/20/navajos-mark-solar-eclipse-sacred-phenomenon-not-watching/574707001/...
The Department of Justice is ending an Obama-era policy that instructed banks to watch out for “high-risk” merchants that sought direct access to consumers’ accounts. The policy, according to the former administration, was intended to stop banks from allowing payday lenders to illegally garnish their borrowers' wages. Enacted in 2013, Operation Choke Point, as the feds called it, was supposed to “choke” illegal payday lenders and scam artists from doing business. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/feds-end-consumer-measure...
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — In a heinous case on the Navajo Nation, an 11-year-old girl was lured into a van, sexually assaulted and killed. The tribe did not seek to have the man who recently admitted to killing her put to death. American Indian tribes for decades have been able to tell federal prosecutors if they want a death sentence considered for certain crimes on their land. Nearly all have rejected that option. http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Most-American-Indian-tribes-opt-out-of-federal-11946298.php...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WNDU) --- The people walking the 320-mile Notre Dame Trail paused their trip to pay their respects to Native Americans. On Sunday, the 32 pilgrims visited Prophetstown State Park in West Lafayette. John P. Warren, chairman of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, accompanied them, holding a morning ceremony at the Circle of Stones. It honors the tribal warriors that fought to retain their land during the American expansion in the early 1800s. http://www.wndu.com/content/news/Notre-Dame-Trail-pilgrims-...
Mormon church leaders are now facing several lawsuits over their alleged failure to protect children from sexual abuse under a now-defunct foster program which ran from the 1940s to 2000. Five lawsuits have been filed against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2016 on behalf of Navajo tribal members who alleged that the Mormon church failed to protect children from sexual abuse at the hands of foster families. Three other similar lawsuits were recently filed in Navajo Nation court and Washington state, The Associated Press...

Hollywood hardman Sylvester Stallone has paid tribute to his friend and former co-star Sonny Landham , who died on Thursday. The 76-year-old actor, who was best known for his role as the Native American tracker Billy Poole in Predator, died of heart failure at his home in Kentucky. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/farewell-friend-sylvester-stallone-pays-11020663...
The most fundamental question about government is this: Does it work? When does government — tribal, state or federal — actually make a difference in our lives? There are two ways to answer that question, data and story. Data tells what happens over time, a reference point that ought to provide the proof of self-government. But story is what we tell ourselves about what works, and more often, what does not work. Ideally data and story lead us to the same conclusion. https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/news/native-news/obes...
Anyone who has visited the Becker County Museum in the past few years has noticed the national, state and county flags on display in the upper level. But until recently, there has been one flag missing from that collection: The White Earth Reservation flag. As an enrolled member of the White Earth nation, the museum's programs director, Emily Buermann, decided it was time to rectify that. http://www.dl-online.com/news/4314832-white-earth-reservation-flag-added-county-museums-permanent-collection...
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - American Indian tribes nationwide will be observing the eclipse in similar and not-so-similar ways. Some will ignore Monday's passing of the moon over the sun. Others might watch while praying for an anticipated renewal. http://www.kvia.com/news/top-stories/native-american-tribes-hope-for-renewal-in-solar-eclipse/606711254...
The Skokomish Tribe’s long-awaited community center features more than 400 solar panels on the roof — enough that it is expected to produce more energy than it uses. “It’s slated to potentially be the first net-zero building on tribal land in the United States,” said Daniel Glenn, principal with 7 Directions, the Seattle-based architectural firm that designed the building.

Without a budget and with the specter of an increase in its 6.35 percent sales tax looming, Connecticut is proceeding with its 17th annual “tax-free week” starting Sunday, offering back-to-school shoppers a break on items of clothing and footwear costing less than $100. You might think the seven-day suspension of a revenue-producer for the state is a bad idea. Some would say the optics, at least, don’t look good. http://www.theday.com/business/20170819/cash-strapped-connecticut-dives-into-annual-tax-free-week...
