Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that she could not fully explain the discovery of a string of work e-mails sent from her personal account more than two months earlier than when she has said she first began using that address as secretary of state. But she said she hoped voters would look past what she called the “drip, drip, drip” of the furor over her e-mails. “There was a transition period. You know, I wasn’t that focused on my e-mail,” Clinton said on “Meet the Press,” when asked about e-mails sent from her personal account in her first...

Four days after Pope Francis proclaimed Junipero Serra a saint, vandals defaced the grounds of Mission San Carlos in Carmel where the newly canonized Franciscan friar, and founding father of modern California, is buried. At some point overnight Saturday, one or more vandals scaled the wall surrounding the cemetery next to the mission and defaced the headstones and statues of Serra and other European settlers buried on the grounds, said Sgt. Luke Powell with the Carmel-by-the-Sea Police Department. Vandals also sloshed paint on the church’s o...
For many, the term 'residential school' conjures up painful memories of children snatched from their families and communities, stripped of their culture, and in some cases, abuses. In Manitoba, some First Nations youth still leave their homes and communities for 10 months at a time, to live and study at a boarding school. Sheryl McCorrister, the principal of Southeast Collegiate, says that's where any similarity ends. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/buffy-sainte-marie-wab-kinew-and-how-dna-remembers-trauma-1.3242375/first...

For almost two decades Sherman Louis lived the hard-core life as a gangster.

Former Pittsburgh linebacker Marv Kellum, who grew up on a farm in south central Kansas, had a heartwarming experience as a guest football camp coach on the Seneca reservation in upstate New York. He came in not knowing what to expect and left with a lasting impression. “The people I met definitely made a difference in the way I think,” said Kellum. “Whatever I might have taught them, I learned so much more from them than they’ll ever know.” They shared some laughs. They learned from each other. Kellum gave the Seneca kids a chance to do som...
Randall McDaniel stood on the wind-swept South Dakota prairie taking it all in. The streamers fluttered against the fence surrounding the cemetery. The wreaths, tobacco ties and smaller memorials were just bits and pieces to the larger picture. The sign at the entrance to the mass grave read “Massacre of Wounded Knee.” McDaniel played in 12 straight Pro Bowls during his Hall of Fame career with the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Buccaneers, but nothing prepared him for this moment. The wind blew through the buffalo grass as he looked over the sit...

On Tuesday, September 22, the Pinoleville Pomo Nation was presented with a search warrant by Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman. The warrant contained four allegations that the Sheriff claimed gave him the right to exercise his authority on sovereign lands.

The days of Hoopa having its own police department may be over. Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey announced Thursday that he was revoking the power of tribal police officers to enforce state law and suspending a memorandum of understanding that had been in place between the tribe and the county for almost two decades. The issue, Downey said, is simply that the Hoopa Tribal Police Department didn’t have enough bodies in uniform. Back in March, the tribe’s longtime police chief, Robert Kane, retired after 20 years with the department. At tha...
