The Minnesota Supreme Court on Thursday demanded more answers about the budget clash between DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and the Republican-controlled Legislature.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Trump administration declared Thursday that its relief efforts in Puerto Rico are succeeding, but people on the island said help was scarce and disorganized while food supplies dwindled in some remote towns eight days after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory of 3.4 million people. President Donald Trump cleared the way for more supplies to head to Puerto Rico by issuing a 10-day waiver of federal restrictions on foreign ships delivering cargo to the island. And House Speaker Paul Ryan said the F...
Indian Country Today, a national voice for Indian Country, went dark while its owners look for a new buyer or a new business model. The “press,” even a “digital press” is the story. It’s true that most tribal leaders have been annoyed by media, including tribal media, from time to time. It’s the nature of our roles. When we in journalism are at our best, we’re independent. And tribal leaders have a different charge; to govern. That sometimes puts us into conflict — at least a little bit. http://newamericamedia.org/2017/09/th...
The Native American official who has been the face and voice of the fight against the Dakota Access oil pipeline has been voted out of office. Unofficial results from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's general election Wednesday showed that Dave Archambault received only 37 percent of about 1,700 votes cast.

WASHINGTON – Sex-trafficking in Indian Country is a significant problem, with tribal women and children suffering at higher rates than the general population, a panel of experts and activists told a Senate committee Wednesday. Witnesses told the Senate Indian Affairs Committee that tribes experience risk factors that can lead to victimization more often than other groups and that tribal women and children are targeted by traffickers “for their exotic beauty.” https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2017/09/28/sex-trafficking-in-india...
Earlier this month, the Native American Journalists Association created what it called “a new tool” for newsrooms covering Indigenous communities. That tool is a bingo card. http://www.vancourier.com/opinion/media-called-out-for-clich%C3%A9d-first-nations-coverage-1.23026485...
RICE LAKE -- For more than a decade, Alderville First Nation's Jeff Beaver has been trying to re-establish wild rice in and around Rice Lake. Today, due to his efforts, small beds are growing in areas like Stoney Creek which runs into the south shore of Rice Lake on the western outskirts of Alderville - but recently the first real "harvest" in about 50 years took place on a tributary along Rice Lake's north shore. http://www.northumberlandtoday.com/2017/09/28/wild-rice-returns-to-rice-lake-in-peterborough-northumberland-coun...
TULSA, Okla. – The year 2017 marks the 80th anniversary of Columbus Day being declared a federal holiday by the U.S. government.

Mark Green opens his eyes to the blinding fluorescent lights of his Brainerd hospital bed. Stuffed down his throat, a plastic tube pumps oxygen into his lungs, giving him an unbearable feeling of constantly inhaling without a second breath. Thick sweat glazes his forehead and soaks through layers of sheets covering his body, all tamped down by an electrical heated blanket. http://www.citypages.com/news/a-village-consumed-heroin-casino-money-and-minnesotas-lower-sioux-indian-reservation/448020203...
In an exclusive interview, Governor Mark Dayton told KSTP Mille Lacs County faces a "public safety crisis" and called recent actions by county leaders "dangerously irresponsible and morally indefensible." In July 2016, Mille Lacs County revoked a 25-year-old joint law enforcement agreement with tribal police on the Reservation of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. Fifteen months of behind-the-scenes talks and mediation have not produced a new joint law enforcement agreement between the tribe and the county, which officially strips Mille Lacs Band...
