The National Senior Games sprinted across the finish line in the Twin Cities this July, but the event left behind a $300,000 bill in Minneapolis. Local organizers of the massive 50-plus sports festival have not paid the city about $303,000 for use of the Convention Center, a payment that was due Aug. 21, city officials said Wednesday. All that has been paid is a $5,000 down payment from before the gathering, which is very rare for a large event at the Convention Center. The situation is also unusual because the co-chairs of the event’s local o...
More than 500 abortion opponents demonstrated at the governor’s residence in St. Paul on Wednesday, demanding that Mark Dayton investigate Planned Parenthood and calling for legislators to defund the organization. Summit Avenue traffic was blocked from 4 to 6 p.m. as protesters gathered, condemning abortion and Planned Parenthood’s purported sale of fetal tissue to medical researchers, a practice that the organization says has been distorted by opponents. “God has a plan for every baby conceived and born,” said the Rev. Timothy Vang, of the...
Two Minneapolis police officers were exonerated Wednesday of any wrongdoing after an investigation into the arrest last summer of community activist Al Flowers. But the attorney representing Flowers said the investigation was flawed, pointing out what he said was misinformation in the report and noting that the “vastly different” accounts by the two officers involved in the arrest “doesn’t pass the smell test.” http://www.startribune.com/independent-investigation-clears-two-minneapolis-police-officers-in-al-flowers-case/3261...
WASHINGTON — The United States is prepared to increase the number of refugees it resettles by at least 5,000 next year as European countries struggle to accommodate tens of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa. Two officials and a congressional aide said that Secretary of State John Kerry told members of Congress in a private meeting Wednesday that the United States will boost its worldwide quota for resettling refugees from 70,000 to 75,000 next year, and that number could rise. A fraction of those would be from Syria. h...
This year the MN DNR opened the Lake Sturgeon fishing State wide including all border waters to catch and release fishing. The WI DNR as agreed to do the same although their process takes a little longer, it should be open next year. This will make it less confusing on the border waters like the Mississippi and St Croix Rivers. As it sits now, we can only fish the MN waters on the Mississippi. The St Croix is a little more complicated as the MN/WI catch and keep season is open through the end of September then it's catch and release on both...
A Missouri man pleaded guilty Wednesday to falsely claiming to be a Cherokee artist to sell his artwork. Terry Lee Whetstone, 63, of Odessa, was placed on probation for three years as part of a plea agreement in U.S. District Court in Kansas City. If Whetstone sells any artwork while on probation, he is required to tell the buyer he is not a member of a tribe. Likewise, he cannot publicly perform his Indian-style flute music without first notifying the audience that he is not a tribe member. Read more here: http://www.kansas...
There was nothing ambiguous about Patrick Lambert’s win in the race for Cherokee Principal Chief last week. His victory came in a landslide of 71 percent. “In tonight’s victory is a powerful truth,” Lambert said in his victory speech. “I believe this election is a clear sign from our people that they are ready for leadership with a bold new vision.” Lambert said he was feeling confident going into Election Day but wasn’t quite prepared for the outpouring of support as election results rolled in. Voters crowded the Birdtown Gym for Lambert’s...
Pope Francis during his upcoming visit to the United States, plans to, among other things, canonize a Spanish priest who made his name converting Native people in California to Catholicism: Father Junipero Serra, who worked at the Missions San Juan Bautista and Santa Cruz. The Pope last week, in front of news media, kissed a cross that was buried with Serra. But many members of Native American tribes in California disagree with the decision to canonize Serra. Louise Miranda Ramirez, tribal chairwoman for the Ohlone Costanoan-Esselen Nation,...
Leaders of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of South Dakota remains divided into rival camps following the death of longtime chairman Michael Jandreau. Jandreau ran the tribe for 36 years before his passing on April 3 at the age of 71. Vice Chairman Kevin Wright stepped in as acting chair but his claims of leadership have been disputed by allies of the late chairman. Wright was already at odds with Jandreau over the tribe's finances. So he's welcoming an audit of $19.15 million in federal funds. http://www.indianz.com/News/2015/0...
Ontario First Nations will launch their own inquiry into missing and murdered women and girls, saying the issue is too important to wait for the outcome of the upcoming federal election. To pay for the inquiry, Chiefs of Ontario — a group representing 163 communities — has launched a website called Who Is She where the public can make donations. The site also features photographs of the missing and murdered, as well as messages from their families. http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/ontario-first-nations-to-hold-inquiry-into-...
CARSON CITY – A federal appeals court today upheld the conviction of Mesquite home-builder William Aubrey for embezzling $1 million to $2.5 million from a federal housing grant for the Navajo Nation in Arizona to finance his gambling and personal expenses. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Aubrey's argument that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of two counts. Aubrey, 73, was sentenced in Las Vegas to 51 months in a federal prison in May, 2013, after a 13-day trial. http://lasvegassun.com/news/201...
A domestic violence suspect accused of holding a woman hostage has been taken into custody on the Navajo Nation. According to the Navajo Times, Kevin Yellowman fled the scene of a domestic violence incident near Valley Store, Arizona, with a hostage Tuesday night.

Navajo Nation Public Safety Director Jesse Delmar said Yellowman was arrested in Chinle around 12 p.m. He will likely face...
RAPID CITY, S.D. - KOTA Territory News has learned that the Rapid City Police Department commissioned a detailed statistical analysis of its arrest records to try to uncover reasons for the stubborn fact that Native Americans are arrested at a rate far greater than their representation in the city's population. The study also set out to identify ways the department could do its job better. In early 2014 then Police Chief -- and now Mayor -- Steve Allender turned to University of South Dakota professor Rich Braunstein to analyze internal police...
WHITERIVER — White Mountain Apache Tribal Chairman Ronnie Lupe said in a recent Apache Scout article that after the last two or three council meetings no significant decisions were made “on behalf of our collective future.” Lupe said he is concerned that the summer is almost over and the income from tourists will dry up. “The tribe should have continued to adjust with the current times to instill better cost saving measures for the tribe in early spring. By now all members of the Governing Body should have a better understanding as to how the...
LAME DEER, Mont. –– A series of violent events in the last week has residents of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation shook up, worried, feeling threatened and wondering if the spiritual cosmos is out of whack. As a result, traditional military societies and the Chiefs are talking about taking the law into their own hands, confidence in current tribal government and the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement at a seeming all-time low. This report is based upon information from local tribal members as tribal government officials and the...
Utah publisher Reading Horizons says its programs can help schools make reading simple and even fun for struggling students, using a methodology that focuses on phonetics and "decoding" words. But it's the stories the sounds tell that have the attention of teachers and parents in Minneapolis, where the school board Tuesday demanded a public apology and a refund from Reading Horizons. Minneapolis Public Schools last month recalled the company's "Little Books" series for "culturally insensitive and unacceptable material," according to a...
An estimated 155,000 rainbow trout suffocated in a matter of minutes Tuesday at the American River Hatchery near Rancho Cordova due to an unexpected release of gunk from Folsom Dam that clogged water intakes. The unexpected die-off could mean anglers have a tougher time finding fish to catch next year, since the 4-inch Eagle Lake subspecies of rainbow trout were to be released when they grew larger, said Bill Cox, hatchery system manager at the Department of Fish and Wildlife, which also operates the adjacent Nimbus Hatchery for salmon. Read...
A state panel was told Wednesday by a veterinarian that 19 genetically pure bison that died suddenly on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in July likely succumbed to salt toxicosis due to water deprivation, a finding that members of the tribe disagreed with. The report was made to the Environmental Quality Council by Dr. Bill Layton of the Montana Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Layton said he came to his conclusions after running several other tests on the animals. He said as long as the animals get water, toxicosis will not occur....
