It all started as a childhood dream for Chickasaw citizen Dylan Mateo. After hearing a presentation by Chickasaw astronaut John Herrington, a young Mr. Mateo knew he wanted to fly to space. But his mother insisted that space was too far away. So, he opted to stay a bit closer to Earth. "My sister actually took me out of school that day and I had no idea why she was there," Mr. Mateo said. "I was mad at first but now I'm very glad she did it. I was always fascinated by aviation and as a kid I...
When Chickasaw student William Butler applied for the master's program for international affairs at the University of Bologna/Johns Hopkins at Italy, he hoped he would get in. He never expected he would not only be accepted into the program, but also rank at the top of the list of applicants. Now, he will be globetrotting from California all the way to Italy for his new journey. "I discovered the joint program at the University of Bologna/Johns Hopkins when I studied abroad in Bologna last...

Figures released last week by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement reflect the first month of resumed operations that the casinos and tracks were permitted to undertake at only 25% capacity. In surrounding states, residents may be looking to visit New Jersey casinos. htt...

SALAMANCA, N.Y. — The Seneca Nation in New York state is mourning three beloved tribal citizens. Ninety-one-year-old Norma Kennedy and her two daughters, 71-year-old Diane Kennedy and 65-year-old Cindy Mohr, died of COVID-19 within weeks of each other. The Seneca Nation president says their deaths leave an “unmistakable emptiness” in the community.

The Trump administration is moving forward with names for the president's proposed National Garden of Heroes. The list at this point is largely political; only Republican governors have submitted names for consideration. And one possibility is Donald J. Trump. The administration is leaving open the possibility of a statue of Trump himself in the Trump-created statue park after receiving what it said were “multiple nominations" of the president. Trump ordered up the statue park during a Fourth of July speech at Mount Rushmore, and set up a t...
Although still in his first term in office, Donald Trump's presidency has been so tumultuous and unorthodox that people forget—or simply cannot keep track of—what has occurred since he became president. Trump has provided us with so many reasons why he's a horrible president that it was necessary for me to break them down into a few categories: Scandals Involving Trump His Questionable Mental State His Many Outright Lies Collusion With Russian The Federal Investigation Into His Campaign Decisions He's Made That Hurt Americans His Foreign Pol...
