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:...
A school on the Menominee Tribal Reservation is showing off its teaching methods Wednesday to Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction, which could be taking those methods to other schools across Wisconsin. The state-run agency has put a program called “Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports” in schools—a method where teachers praise good behavior—the “positive”—and support students by using their various heritages in the classroom. http://wbay.com/2015/10/06/menominee-tribal-school-used-as-model-for-the-state/...

A similar story was told across Canada this weekend: Too many Native women have gone missing or have been murdered. In Winnipeg, one event organizer, Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, put it this way: “As well as Aboriginal women, Indigenous women and girls we all deserve to be loved and valued and to feel safe. That we shouldn’t have to live in a society and worry about if we’re next. If we are going to be next to be murdered or to go missing. We need to feel safe. It’s our right to feel safe. ” So on the steps of the Manitoba Legislature many rows of b...
An Inuit man told a St. John's courtroom Monday that he never felt loved at the Labrador residential school he was forced to attend, and that punishment against Inuit students was very common. Toby Obed said students at the North West River school were also bullied and taunted but staff did nothing to protect them. "We were scared of staff. They could do or say anything at anytime," Obed sobbed as he testified during a class action lawsuit at Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundl...

Sometimes even the advances of modern science can’t explain why a young, healthy male suddenly dies. That is the case of Paul Panacheese, the 21-year old Mishkeegogamang First Nation student who was pronounced dead at a Thunder Bay hospital after he collapsed on his mother’s floor on Nov. 11, 2006. On Tuesday, the inquest looking into the reasons surrounding Panacheese’s death and the deaths of six other aboriginal high-school students heard scientific testimony about the causes of death. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2...

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr projected the DNR will make its call whether to have a winter ice fishing season for walleye on Lake Mille Lacs later this month. In a teleconference Tuesday, Landwehr said the DNR completed fish surveys in September, and a decision on the scope of the allowed fishing season will come the week of Oct. 26. The DNR, which has faced criticism over its relationship with the public in the wake of its closure of walleye season closure on Mille Lacs this summer, also...
