The trade group for hospitals in Minnesota has won more federal funding for programs that are designed to prevent patients from suffering harm during hospital stays. Last week, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced $110 million in funding to 17 national, regional or state hospital associations and health systems for what are called “Hospital Engagement Networks,” which work to improve patient safety. http://www.startribune.com/feds-award-minnesota-hospitals-2-5-million-to-continue-patient-saf...
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban captured the strategic northern Afghan city of Kunduz on Monday in a multi-pronged attack involving hundreds of fighters, the first time the insurgents have seized a major urban area since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. The fast-moving assault took military and intelligence agencies by surprise as the insurgents descended on the city, one of Afghanistan's richest and the target of repeated Taliban offensives as the militants spread their fight across the country following the withdrawal last year of U.S. and N...
Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman sent his deputies this week, with a warrant. to the Pinoleville Rancheria to put a stop to the marijuana growing operation that few believe was any kind of legitimate medical operation. Our understanding is that United Cannabis, the Colorado corporation that was partnering to help with the tribe’s claimed medicinal operation pulled out some time ago. Sheriff Allman had warned the tribe on day one of their operation that if they went beyond the limits of California law he would be forced to stop them. And s...
For nearly a decade, Arabella Cook applied for housing discretionary funds to renovate a section of her home. And for nearly a decade, she was told that there weren’t any funds. “Each time I asked, I was told, ‘There is no money,” the 78-year-old said. “I just gave up.” It wasn’t until Cook was driving by a residence recently that she saw building materials and men in workwear renovating a home, prompting her to apply once more after asking if funds were available. http://navajotimes.com/reznews/tax-money-funds-repair-of-10-...
Two lenders offering loans that charge consumers exorbitant, triple-digit interest rates to borrow against their cars are operating in defiance of state law in Michigan, often seizing the vehicles of desperate borrowers who can’t pay. These unlicensed lenders are issuing auto-title loans, which charge interest rates of more than 250 percent. They require borrowers to sign over the titles to their paid-off cars and don’t issue loan documents. The borrowers typically get 25 percent or less of the vehicle’s value, and can pay thousands of dolla...
The original language of Michigan is dying in the state. Anishinaabemowin was the language of the Great Lakes for millennia—spoken by the Chippewa/Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi tribes—known as the Anishinabek. One of the biggest impacts on the language, that affected generations of families, was Native American boarding schools. http://michiganradio.org/post/native-american-boarding-schools-have-nearly-killed-michigans-native-language#stream/0...
Two Oklahoma tribes finalized a $186 million settlement to their trust mismanagement case on Friday, the latest in a string of deals that have brought over $5 billion to Indian Country under the Obama administration. The Choctaw Nation will receive $139.5 million and the Chickasaw Nation will receive $46.5 million to resolve a lawsuit they filed in 2005. The tribes accused the Department of the Interior and the Department of the Treasury of mismanaging their trust assets and trust funds dating back to the early 1800s. http:/...

Just days ago, the Rapid City Police Department announced startling statistics following our 6th murder this year, showing 2015 to be one of the more violent years we've seen in awhile. But Sunday morning, members of the community came together in an effort to bring awareness to all of the violence. Black Hills FOX reporter Heather Janssen has more. Suzy Adams says, "Always happy. Always cheerful... always there when I needed him." http://www.blackhillsfox.com/home/headlines/Sunrise-prayer-vigil-held-for-violence-awareness-i...
Two by two, the wild rice harvesters emerge from the grass-filled lake and drag their canoes to shore. The harvesters, Lake Superior Chippewa, are reaping their ancestral food in the traditional way — one poling the boat through the waist-high tangle, and the other bending the stems and gently brushing ripe seed loose with a pair of batons. It’s hard, dirty work on a steamy Minnesota late-summer day. They’re caked with chaff and sweat. But the canoes are loaded with the sacred grain they call manoomin. It was a good harvest, they say. http:...
Cherokee elder and urban Indian activist Jess Sixkiller, 78, was murdered at around 3 a.m. on September 25 at his home in Phoenix.
