A Ponemah, Minnesota, man pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder in the 2019 death of a woman on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Court documents state that in 2019, 24-year-old William Jones IV and the victim were involved in a relationship and lived together.

What officials call a "multiday passenger spike" is expected this week at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, as travelers take to the skies during the annual MEA conference break for state educators and students. Airport officials say traffic at MSP could be just as busy as popular flying days during the summer and over the winter holidays. The MEA break, which begins Wednesday and lasts through the weekend, is typically a busy stretch at the airport - and early signs indicate that...
Public safety officials alarmed by the dramatic rise in fatal motor vehicle crashes in Minnesota are turning to employers for help in spreading the word about the need for safe driving. The tactic comes as Minnesota closes in on 400 traffic deaths for the year and is on pace to record its most traffic fatalities since 2007. It also comes as law enforcement has seen a huge uptick in speeding and other risky driving behaviors that coincided with the onset of the pandemic. Roads have changed in a...
Tim Walz launched on Tuesday his campaign for a second term as Minnesota governor, leaning into his administration's response to COVID-19 and focusing his messaging on rebuilding the state from the pandemic's toll. The Democrat will seek re-election next fall alongside Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, after an unprecedented first term dominated by the virus and civil unrest that erupted following George Floyd's killing in May 2020. "The fight's not over but we've got the ball back," Walz said in a...
Fall was meant to mark the beginning of the end of the labor shortage that has held back the nation's economic recovery. Expanded unemployment benefits were ending. Schools were reopening, freeing up many caregivers. Surely, economists and business owners reasoned, a flood of workers would follow. Instead, the labor force shrank in September. There are 5 million fewer people working than before the pandemic began and 3 million fewer even looking for work. The slow return of workers is causing...
A federal judge in St. Paul is hearing arguments this week in a lawsuit by International Dairy Queen Inc. that accuses a Massachusetts company of wrongfully using the "Blizzard" name for bottled spring water and asks for damages. Dairy Queen, based in Bloomington, is suing W.B. Mason Co. of Brockton, Mass., alleging its bottled spring water bearing the Blizzard name is a trademark infringement and is unfair competition. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson is overseeing the trial,...
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A gang that kidnapped 17 members of a U.S.-based missionary group demanded $1 million ransom per person, although authorities were not clear whether that amount included the five children being held, a top Haitian official said Tuesday. The official, who was not authorized to speak to the press, told The Associated Press that someone from the 400 Mawozo gang made the demand Saturday in a call to a leader of the ministry group shortly after the abduction. A person in...
.S. Sen. Tina Smith said Tuesday she will vote no on the Minneapolis policing ballot measure dividing prominent Democrats more than a year after the police killing of George Floyd. "After many conversations, I have concluded that Amendment #2 does not address the core public safety challenges we face, and may well move us in the wrong direction," Smith said in a statement. If Minneapolis voters approve the measure in the city's Nov. 2 election, the city could replace the Minneapolis Police...
On Jan. 21, 1855, Makah villages in what is now the northwest coast of Washington made a deal with the U.S. government-a treaty-where tribal representatives ceded the title to 300,000 acres of tribal land to retain certain pre-existing rights into the future. Among them was a right to education, health care, and the explicit right to hunt seals, fish and whales. Then, for nearly 80 years beginning in the 1920s, tribal whaling crews abstained from their cultural traditions in response to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The nation's highest court is back in session amid COVID-19 and it's shaping up to be a busy one for tribes and their advocates. In an order list on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court added only two new cases to the docket for its October 2021 term. The action was notable in and of of itself, since both cases happen to come from Indian Country. But the granting of the petitions in Denezpi v. United States and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo v. Texas presents new challenges for the tribal...
f you slip on your boots and take a walk through the remote village of Brevig Mission, you’ll notice 20 homes that were built by the Bering Straits Regional Housing Authority in the 1990s. A few blocks away stand 10 more from the early 2000s. The newest subdivision, built in the last decade, is also the smallest: five modest homes, engineered for maximum economy, around a neat stub of gravel road. You don’t need an advanced degree to see the economic injustice at work. The pattern repeats almost everywhere and is especially pronounced thr...
