Emmitsburg, Maryland was calmer than it should rightly have been on Saturday evening, October 3, 2020. What should have been a bustling National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend was instead a quieter time, as COVID-19 forced the cancellation of our official memorial events. Firefighters do not like to back away from adversity. Around 6:30 PM on Saturday, a familiar sound began to grow from an alley behind the venerated Ott House, as the National Fallen Firefighters Pipes and Drums suddenly marched into the street for a short, informal, but...
September 17, 2020 (SAINT PAUL) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced court approval of two recent settlements that affect hundreds of Minnesota student-loan borrowers. “Minnesotans take out student loans in good faith so they can get educations that will help them better afford their lives. My office is showing once again that when companies take advantage of that good faith or exploit borrowers mired in student debt, we will come after them,” Attorney General Ellison said. “I encourage any Minnesotan who’s been affected...
Bemidji, Minn.—With upcoming November elections, the Minnesota Department of Transportation reminds campaigners that state law prohibits placement of private signs of any kind (i.e., political and other advertising signage) on highway right-of-way in Minnesota. Highway rights of way include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches, sight corners at intersections, and boulevards in urban areas. In addition, state law says that signs may not be placed on private land without the consent of the landowner. Violation of the law, Minnesot...

Donald Trump mounted an overnight Twitter blitz demanding to jail his political enemies and call out allies he says are failing to arrest his rivals swiftly enough. Trump twice amplified supporters' criticisms of Attorney General William Barr, including one featuring a meme calling on him to "arrest somebody!" He wondered aloud why his rivals, like President Barack Obama, Democratic nominee Joe Biden and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton hadn't been imprisoned for launching a "coup"...
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is questioning President Donald Trump's fitness to serve, announcing legislation Thursday that would create a commission to allow Congress to intervene under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution and remove the president from executive duties. Just weeks before the Nov. 3 election, Pelosi said Trump needs to disclose more about his health after his COVID-19 diagnosis. She noted Trump's "strange tweet" halting talks on a new coronavirus aid package -...
Indigenous Peoples' Day-October 12-celebrates the history and vibrancy of contemporary Native cultures. In many places, it feels like a festival, with music, vendors and community. In my hometown of New York City (which is located on Lenape homelands), we typically celebrate on Randall's Island with drumming, dancing and stacks of puffy sugar-soaked frybread. This event, like others across the nation, is a hard-won victory and the result of a longer battle to replace Columbus Day with...
Terms that have been appropriated from Native American cultures in North America are pervasive in our society today: Mugs and t-shirts are emblazoned with words like “tribe” and “spirit animal.” The most popular sports teams in the country have names like the Chiefs and the Braves. These terms can be microaggressions that are easily unlearned if non-Indigenous people take the time to understand their history and origins while others are outright demeaning and insulting, and should have been eradicated from our popular lexicon long ago. As non-I...

Jennifer Bone, the nation's chief, said since last Saturday, three community members have taken their own lives. Prior to that, another person did the same — bringing the total number of deaths by suicide in the First Nation to f...
