In a deal designed to protect sensitive groundwater and pine forests in central Minnesota, a large regional potato grower has agreed to scale back an ambitious expansion plan in exchange for state regulators dropping their demand for a broad environmental review. The voluntary reduction by North Dakota-based R.D.

The most colorful time of the year is at Minnesota’s doorstep, and state parks and recreation officials are meticulously charting where the richest fall foliage will be for the next several weeks. The state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) started to map out where leaves are transitioning from green to red, gold, brown and other eye-popping hues.

Anti-pipeline groups asked a federal judge in Minneapolis on Thursday to halt the increased flow of crude oil from Canada into Minnesota resulting from 2014 upgrades at a short section of pipeline across the international border. But lawyers for pipeline owner Enbridge Energy and the U.S. State Department told Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Davis that the modifications to boost the oil flow are allowed under an existing federal cross-border permit. http://www.startribune.com/anti-pipeline-groups-ask-judge-to-halt-increas...
Women in a new Marine Corps unit created to assess how female service members perform in combat were injured twice as often as men, less accurate with infantry weapons and not as good at removing wounded troops from the battlefield, according to the results of a long-awaited study produced by the service. The research was carried out by the service in a nine-month long experiment at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Twentynine Palms, Calif. About 400 Marines, including 100 women, volunteered to join the Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force, the...
Briefs filed in a disenrollment dispute within the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde in Oregon are no longer available on Turtle Talk. The blog was the only place on the Internet where source materials about the removals of the descendants of Chief Tumulth, who signed the 1855 Willamette Valley Treaty, could be found. But the information has been removed at the request of the Galanda Broadman law firm. "At the behest of the Grand Ronde Tribal Government's legal counsel, we have removed from our firm's social media pages any links to certain...
They were driven out more than 100 years ago, but finally the elk are coming home to the Ho-Chunk Nation. In late August, 23 elk originating from Kentucky were released in Wisconsin’s Black River State Forest—the heart of the Ho-Chunk Nation’s traditional lands—the first step in a longer-term plan to grow the herd in central Wisconsin to about 400 animals. It was a victory not only because of the restoration of a cultural and spiritual icon but also because of the roller-coaster nature of the challenges involved. Read more at http://...

Fort Nelson First Nation in northern British Columbia has won a key ruling that stops Nexen Inc. from pumping millions of gallons of water from a local lake for fracking purposes. The ruling could pave the way for similar cases, according to Fort Nelson. “By canceling the license, the EAB has set a precedent for future provincially supported fracking and LNG exports,” Fort Nelson said in a statement.

Haskell Indian Nations University is coming off one of its busiest summers in a long time. This semester, Haskell students and staff are enjoying the results of nearly $4 million worth of improvements to campus facilities completed — or almost completed — over summer break. “It was like a major vortex on our campus,” said Tonia Salvini, vice president of university services. More than $800,000 from U.S. Department of Education Title III funds for student retention efforts went toward new furniture and flooring in Haskell’s residence halls and...
HONOLULU (AP) — Seven women and one man have been arrested in the latest round of arrests in the ongoing battle against building a giant telescope atop a mountain many Native Hawaiians consider sacred. The state Department of Land and Natural resources says 20 of its officers arrested the protesters on Mauna Kea early Wednesday. Protesters say officers hauled them away while they were praying. A group of people opposed to building the Thirty Meter Telescope on the mountain have been camping on the mountain to maintain around-the-clock guard t...
This wildfire season has hit northwest tribal lands particularly hard. Firefighters’ first priority is “life and property.” But some tribal members wonder why protecting some kinds of property—like farms and even second homes— comes before tribal forest land. Several inches of ash blanket the ground where a wildfire recently passed through a pine forest on the Colville Reservation. Most of the trees have scorched trunks and dull brown needles…but some could still bounce back. Cody Desautel, the tribe’s Natural Resources Director, grabs ahold o...
The death of a 29-year-old man in a crash on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation in Duchesne County earlier this year is under investigation and could lead to federal charges against the vehicle's driver. Damien Santio, 18, who allegedly has admitted to being the driver, was being held as of Wednesday in the Duchesne County Jail on tribal court charges. A search warrant affidavit says possible federal charges could include involuntary manslaughter while within Indian country. http://www.sltrib.com/home/2930646-155/utah-r...

On the other end of the phone, a crisis counselor from the Chapel Hill, North Carolina Police Department spoke calmly, matter-of-factly. She told Hedgepeth that her youngest daughter, a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was dead. “I said, ‘You must have the wrong girl,’” Hedgepeth said. “She told me it was her, and I said, ‘I don’t think so.’” Read more at http://indiancountrytodaym...
