Los Angeles (AFP) - A conservative Arizona newspaper is facing death threats and losing subscriptions after it broke with tradition and endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump for US president, a senior editor told AFP Thursday. The Phoenix-based Arizona Republic, the state's largest newspaper, announced in an editorial on Tuesday that it was backing a Democrat for the first time since it was founded in 1890, on the grounds that Trump was neither conservative nor qualified to be president. The paper's editorial board said that while Clinton...

DENT, MINN. — In this remote stretch of Otter Tail County, where cows outnumber people and mom-and-pop resorts dot the lakeshores, ambitious plans for a sparkling new casino and hotel are stirring up some of the locals. Within the next two years, this largely rural area where water covers three-fourths of the countryside will be home to a casino development that promises to bring thousands of visitors and hundreds of workers to a locale where a no-stoplight town such as Dent, population 193, counts as a major city. The proposed 270-acre c...
Casinos have pumped billions of dollars into Minnesota tribal economies over the past 25 years — and while the state doesn’t get a cut of the profits, the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association says the whole state has cashed in. Tribal casinos employ thousands of Minnesotans and draw millions of visitors each year, according to a report released this week that offers a glimpse into tribal gaming’s closely guarded finances. From payroll to purchasing to tourist dollars, tribal casinos pump an estimated $1.8 billion in direct and indirect reven...
More than 4,000 striking Allina Health hospital nurses will vote Monday on a contract that provides some stability to the cost and quality of their health insurance going forward, but not the control their union had sought. After three daylong negotiating sessions, the Minnesota Nurses Association released a statement shortly before 1 a.m. Friday indicating that it would put the contract to a vote but that its negotiating team "is not making a recommendation" whether nurses should accept or reject it. Allina nurses have voted twice before this...
JERUSALEM — President Barack Obama hailed Shimon Peres Friday as a man who showed the world that justice and hope are at the heart of the Zionist ideal and saw "all people as deserving of dignity and respect." Wearing a Jewish skullcap as a sign of respect and reverence, Obama said he was the 10th president to fall prey to Peres' charms and they forged an unlikely friendship, despite the nearly four-decade gap in their ages and starkly different backgrounds. "It was so surprising to see the two of us, where we had started, talking together i...
WASHINGTON — Angry lawmakers heaped another round of blistering criticism on Wells Fargo's CEO, pressing Thursday for details about what senior managers knew about allegedly illegal sales practices and when any concerns were disclosed. Chief Executive John Stumpf, newly stripped of tens of millions in compensation, told the House Financial Services Committee that the bank is expanding its review of accounts and will evaluate executives' roles. But as during the grilling he received last week from a Senate panel, Stumpf remained on the d...
MANILA, Philippines — Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte raised the rhetoric over his bloody anti-crime war to a new level Friday, comparing it to Hitler and the Holocaust and saying he would be "happy to slaughter" 3 million addicts. Duterte issued his latest threat against drug dealers and users early Friday on returning to his hometown in southern Davao city after visiting Vietnam, where he discussed his anti-drug campaign with Vietnamese leaders and ways for their governments to fight transnational crimes, including illegal drugs. D...
LOS ANGELES – Donald Trump wanted only the pretty ones, his employees said. After the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes opened for play in 2005, its world-famous owner didn’t stop by more than a few times a year to visit. When Trump did visit, the club’s managers went on alert. They scheduled the young, thin, pretty women on staff to work the clubhouse restaurant — because when Trump saw less-attractive women working at his club, according to court records, he wanted them fired. http://www.startribune.com/trump...
Columbus Day is no more, at least where the Niagara-Wheatfield School District is concerned. Following an impassioned presentation by a group of students, the district's board of education has agreed to a request to have the holiday that has long honored explorer Christopher Columbus as Indigenous Peoples Day in the district. The change came as a result of advocacy performed by members of the district's student council, Native American Club and their advisors. http://www.niagara-gazette.com/news/local_news/n-w-school-board-a...
An officer drew his weapon and several people were arrested as confrontations over the proposed Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota continue this week. A protester on horseback allegedly charged at the officer, who viewed it as an act of aggression, authorities said Wednesday. The gun was carrying bean-bag rounds, which is less-lethal ammunition designed to incapacitate, according to a Morton County Sheriff’s Department press release. The incident took place as law enforcement went on to arrest 21 protesters at two construction sites near S...
MORTON COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA – This past Sunday morning, September 25, was cold and windy, and after several days of rain stopped, about 300 protectors from Oceti Sakowin, Red Warrior, and Sacred Stone camps along with other supporters from surrounding camps, decided that strong prayers were needed at the site where construction has been continuing on the Dakota Access Pipeline. The group formed a car caravan and traveled to two construction sites along County Highways 6 and 134 near unincorporated community of St. Anthony in Morton County. T...
The CEO of North Dakota’s biggest oil company said that simply paying off native communities with oil-related work would defuse the ongoing standoff against the US$3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Native American communities say that economics are not a factor when faced with the irreparable damage that the pipeline. James J. Volker, CEO of Whiting Petroleum Corp, said that economic opportunities such as oil service contracts and jobs related to the oil industry, such as water hauling, could be given to Native American-owned companies. ...
Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) has demonstrated to the world how U.S. oil interests and government co-conspirators will let nothing stand in their way to reap billions from the continued exploitation of fossil fuels. In securing the route for their 30-inch pipeline, Energy Transfer Partners has stolen land from private landowners through eminent domain, bulldozed their way through ancient Native American burial grounds, put hundreds of waterbodies at risk and is threatening the Missouri River water source of the Standing...

Calling for the end to the pre-construction of a six-lane highway that will parallel and cut through the southwestern part of a sacred mountain, the Ahwatukee and the Gila River Indian community hopes to deliver a message to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) that the fight to protect Moadag Do’ag (South Mountain) in Phoenix, Arizona is far from over. However, before they could share their views with the agencies involved, local authorities told community members -- which included the Protecting Arizona Resources and Children o...
Native American protesters were quickly and peacefully ejected by Phoenix Police Tuesday night after they tried to make a public statement prior to the Arizona Department of Transportation's presentation on the South Mountain Freeway. About a dozen Native Americans, most of whom had just finished a 10-mile prayer run from a camp they have set up in the Gila River Indian Community to protest the freeway, first were told they could not bring their walking staffs into the meeting at Desert Vista High School. Then after one protester began...
WASHINGTON – Federal officials signed an agreement with Navajo leaders Tuesday giving the tribe the authority to implement a single set of standards, assessments and accountability measures for tribal schools that are scattered over three states.
