David Manuel is passionate about providing healthy food for the people of the Red Lake Nation. "Food defined our existence," he explains. "We migrated from season to season, making different camps at different locations all around northern Minnesota. All the way up to Rainy River where they speared sturgeon in the spring. We usually went up there after our sugarbush. Our sugarbush is our New Year. It's the beginning of the new year...That's what we're going to be talking about at the [Red Lake...
Kristen McClintock should have been at work teaching special education classes at Houston’s Westside High School on Wednesday afternoon. Instead, she stood in an isolated corner of the city’s cavernous George R. Brown Convention Center, trying to figure out how to create a comforting “sensory space” for students with autism, who are sensitive to noise. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/08/30/harvey-wreaks-havoc-houston-schools/618213001/...

TUESDAY, Aug. 29, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Only about half of U.S. parents are in favor of later start times for high school students -- possibly because they underestimate teenagers' sleep needs, researchers are reporting. The study, of 554 parents, found that 49 percent thought it was a bad idea for high schools to delay their start times to 8:30 a.m. https://consumer.healthday.com/sleep-disorder-information-33/misc-sleep-problems-news-626/many-parents-not-happy-with-later-school-start-times-725885.html...
In its first decision in a school discipline case, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled zero tolerance policies on school fighting cannot deny students the right to assert they were defending themselves. The court said Georgia law gives students the legal right to argue self-defense as a justification. Georgia Code states, “A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when…he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other’s imminent use of un...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's hiring and budget plans are raising questions about whether he can deliver the "better-than-ever" recovery he's promised after Hurricane Harvey devastated a swath of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Trump has proposed vast budget cuts and leaving some leadership positions unfilled at agencies involved in disaster management. His Republican allies on Capitol Hill proposed spending some of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster money to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. http://www.startribu...
A Maryland school is barring students from wearing Washington Redskins gear on campus, calling the team name "insulting and offensive" and the logo "racially demeaning."

From the appearance of their worn leather covers, the pair of Bibles that had been passed down in a local family for decades may not look all that significant. However, written in careful script within them is an apparently unique record of births, marriages, and deaths among the Montaukett Tribe of Native Americans — one that may play a role in the tribe’s bid to regain its official status. http://easthamptonstar.com/Lead-article/2017831/Old-Bibles-Rare-Tribal-Record...
It’s not our fault,” Jacob Rosales said. I had asked the recent high-school graduate what he wants people to know about life on the reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. “There’s a liquor store right across from the border,” he continued after a pause, pointing off into the distance. “Right over there.” The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is a striking 3,469-square-mile expanse of sprawling grasslands and craggy badlands that sits in the southwest corner of South Dakota, touching Nebraska’s northern edge. Traversing the reservation by...

HOUSTON (AP) — As floodwaters receded and rescuers searched waterlogged neighborhoods for more potential victims, Houston officials began turning their attention to finding temporary housing for those in shelters and getting enough gasoline for people to fill up cars — but also to the city's long-term recovery, which will take years and billions of dollars. Authorities raised the death toll from the storm to 39 late Thursday. And the latest statewide damage surveys revealed the staggering extent of the destruction. https://w...
