DEVILS LAKE--No charges are likely to be pressed for the May death of a Devils Lake jail inmate who was found dead in his cell just hours after being jailed. The death of John Wilke, 42, was attributed to suicide, from a "mixed drug toxicity" from a lethal combination of drugs, Devils Lake Police Detective Sue Schwab said in June. While the investigation is not officially closed, Ramsey County State's Attorney Lonnie Olson said charges are not expected. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3827684-no-charges-expected-de...

Few Minneapolitans have heard of Cloud Man, but the name of one of the city’s earliest recorded inhabitants may soon achieve better recognition. That’s because three of his Dakota descendants sit on a citizen panel advising the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board on renovations at lakes Harriet and Calhoun. They want to restore the lake’s original name of Bde Maka Ska (White Earth Lake) instead of honoring John C. Calhoun, a once-powerful political figure who backed slavery and proposed the Indian Removal Act, an effort to relocate triba...
BEIJING — Global stocks were mostly lower Monday after a U.S. Federal Reserve official suggested a September interest rate hike still was possible and weak Japanese factory activity provided more evidence of a sluggish global economy. KEEPING SCORE: In early trading, France's CAC-40 fell 1.2 percent to 4,619.91 and Germany's DAX lost 1.3 percent to 10,164.90. Wall Street looked set for losses at the open.

Anglers hoping to catch and keep trout from the Vermillion River could have an extended fishing season and more territory to troll, as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources(DNR) reworks its regulations for the stream in hopes of attracting more visitors. The river in southern Scott and Dakota counties is one of just a few places in the Twin Cities metro area where people can catch trout, said Mark Zabel, administrator for the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization. http://www.startribune.com/dnr-propose...
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — General Mills has set an ambitious goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 28 percent by 2025 — not just within its own operations but from farm to fork to landfill. CEO Ken Powell, in outlining the plan to The Associated Press ahead of the company's official announcement Monday, said General Mills is compelled to act because climate change ultimately will be bad for business. http://www.startribune.com/general-mills-sets-ambitious-goal-for-greenhouse-gas-cuts/323359921/...
History was made on Aug. 28 as elected leaders of the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians gathered for a joint council meeting at Red Clay State Park, Tennessee, a place long revered by our Cherokee people as sacred ground. The date of the gathering was also significant as it marked the 177th anniversary of the departure of the first detachment of Cherokees who were forced to leave our homelands in the east for modern-day Oklahoma. Red Clay was the Cherokee capital when the removal...
The following is an excerpt from a book project by Dina Gilio-Whitaker. The tentative title is There Are No Real Indians Anymore and 20 Other Myths About Native Americans. The book is co-authored with Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz; Beacon Press, scheduled for fall 2016. Of all myths associated with American Indians no myth is as pervasive as the myth of the vanishing Indian. We are all familiar with many of the other myths that were invented over the last 500 years and thanks to the work of Native activists, writers, intellectuals, and their allies we...

Zachary Roberts, Richard Lee Broome and Martin Mazzara confirmed with Montana’s U.S. Attorney’s Office that they are the subjects, and the likely targets, of a criminal probe into their dealings with the tribe, the three men said in court documents filed this week. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/...
IGNACIO, Colorado — U.S. attorneys and prosecutors say they want to help Native American communities bring more cases to court and cut down on crime following a surge of drug abuse, violence, sexual assault and other crimes plaguing their communities. Colorado U.S. Attorney John Walsh, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates, Associate Attorney General Stuart Delery and Montana U.S. Attorney Michael Cotter heard reports of insufficient funding, a lack of full-time prosecutors and problems during a meeting in Ignacio. h...
President Obama announced on Sunday that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali, using his executive power to restore an Alaska Native name with deep cultural significance to the tallest mountain in North America. The move came on the eve of Mr. Obama’s trip to Alaska, where he will spend three days promoting aggressive action to combat climate change, and is part of a series of steps he will make there meant to address the concerns of Alaska Native tribes. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/31/us/mount-mckinley-will-be-renamed...

By some estimates, sexual assault on U.S. Indian reservations is the worst in the world with one in three Native women assaulted during their lifetime. Unbelievably, it’s higher even than war-torn Serbia or the Republic of Congo. And the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming is no exception. It’s the kind of big issue that would normally scare most people away. But not nine courageous women at Wind River Reservation who are trying a totally new approach. They deliver emergency care in person. And it all started when Eastern Shoshone mem...
When Col. Patrick Connor led a group of U.S. calverymen in a daytime attack on the Shoshone in Idaho, at least 250 men, women and children were killed. The events of that bitter cold January morning in 1863 are referred to as the Bear River Massacre, and although it was the largest Native American massacre in U.S. history, few people know the story. For years, the exact location of the massacre was lost — but now, more than 150 years later, archaeologists are searching for the site, hoping to better document the event and educate the public a...

NISSWA, MINNESOTA— Some ten members of various Chippewa Bands in Minnesota were given citations by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for attempting to exercise their treaty rights to gather wild rice and fish in the Hole-in-the Day Lake area of the northern portion of the state. The citations came one day after about 100 Chippewa protesters showed up on Thursday, August 27, with threats of arrest because the Minnesota DNR is taking a more stringent approach to enforcing a state ordinance forbidding gathering wild rice and f...
NISSWA, Minn. – Indian activists from central and northern Minnesota were cited Friday with gross misdemeanors for attempting to net fish illegally and for picking wild rice without a license.
