Roberts, who leads the Office of the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, today announced new leadership for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). Weldon ‘Bruce’ Loudermilk will succeed Michael S. Black as Director of the BIA and Tony Dearman will be the new Director of the BIE. Michael Black, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, has served as BIA Director since April 2010. Mr. Black will move to a...
Even with checks and balances, four years of executive power can change the country – perhaps even the course of history – considerably. So from FDR’s clean sweep of Republican Alf Landon in 1936 to the Supreme Court’s ruling in 2000’s Bush v. Gore nail-biter, every presidential election matters and is, indeed, historic. This one still feels special, though – kind of like Barack Obama’s enthusiastic run to break the White House color barrier, but more sinister. On the left, we have a candidate seeking to become the first female president who...
BALTIMORE (AP) — A school bus was blocks away from its first stop Tuesday morning when it hit a cemetery wall, rear-ended a car and then ricocheted off a roadside pillar into an oncoming commuter bus. The pre-dawn accident killed six people and injured 10, authorities said. There were virtually no skid marks at the crash scene, suggesting no braking by the 67-year-old school bus driver, who was killed, and leading to what Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith called a working theory that he had suffered some sort of medical emergency. The 3...
BOSTON — The battle over a charter school ballot question is heating up in the sprint to Election Day. On Tuesday, opponents of the question , about expanding the number of charter schools in the state, released a statement from independent Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders calling for the measure's defeat. Sanders, a former Democratic presidential candidate, faulted the question for relying on money from New York backers. He said the question would drain resources from traditional public schools. http://www.bostonherald.com/...

BEMIDJI—BSU's student senate heard campaign pitches from Bemidji's two candidates for mayor Wednesday. Incumbent Mayor Rita Albrecht and Richard Lehmann, who held the position himself in the early 2000s, told about 20 student senators their respective visions for the city's future and fielded questions. Lehmann said one of his top priorities, if elected, would be to get the Sanford Center, which has had some recent personnel shakeups and finance issues, "straightened out." http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4150983-mayoral-c...
BISMARCK -- State regulators decided Wednesday, Nov. 2, to draft a complaint against the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline for failing to notify them right away about a cultural find, possibly the first time the agency has taken such action against a pipeline company. Public Service Commission Chairwoman Julie Fedorchak said she was “extremely disappointed” when she learned Dakota Access LLC had discovered American Indian artifacts in the pipeline route but had not notified state regulators. The company, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Ene...
LEECH LAKE—Two adult male duck hunters were rescued Tuesday after their boat capsized in the water southeast of Battle Point on the east side of Leech Lake. The Cass County Sheriff's Office was called at 6:20 a.m. to respond. Deputies used cellphone mapping technology and were able to quickly locate the hunters. The hunters had fallen into the water, but were able to stay on the top of the capsized boat until they were located. Conditions were windy and dark at the time of the rescue. Both hunters were wearing floatable type c...
DES MOINES, Iowa — A white man with a history of racial provocations and confrontations with police ambushed and fatally shot two white officers Wednesday in separate attacks as they sat in their patrol cars, authorities said. Police took 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene into custody hours after the killings and less than three weeks after he argued with officers who removed him from a high school football game where he had unfurled a Confederate flag near black spectators. Greene flagged down an Iowa Department of Natural Resources employee i...
An 18-year-old student at Shakopee High School was arrested in the alleged sexual assault of a female classmate on Tuesday, according to police. The male student allegedly lured a 17-year-old female student by the wrist into a locker room during school hours before she was assaulted, Police Chief Jeff Tate said. The investigation is ongoing, and the department will release more information on Thursday, Tate said. The victim allegedly reported the incident to friends and an on-site officer, Tate said. “With two [school resource officers] a...
A warrant was issued Wednesday in Dakota County for the arrest of a Lakeville mother who was prevented last month from choosing prison time over probation for hiding her two teen daughters from their father. The warrant notes that Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, 51, has violated terms of her probation by not maintaining contact with probation officials and failing to notify them in a timely manner of any change of address, employment and telephone number. Therefore, the warrant continued, the Sheriff’s Office is under orders to arrest Grazzini-Rucki a...
The election that matters most in Minnesota this year is the battle for control of the State Capitol, and especially the hotly contested House. Republicans are currently in the majority and are trying to stop DFLers from picking up seven seats to win back the control they lost in 2014. Campaign finance data, released Nov. 1, show big money flowing into the most competitive races. Total campaign spending in 2016 thus far has already outpaced 2014. Senators were not on the ballot in 2014, but there was an expensive governor's race....
Reward money totaling $20,000 was dangled before the public Wednesday in hopes of determining who killed a student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout during an assault around bar closing time in downtown Menomonie over the weekend. Police have yet to make an arrest in the death of 24-year-old Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, a junior from Saudi Arabia, and have only a vague description of a man who was seen about 2 a.m. Sunday running from the scene, the 400 block of Main Street E., outside Topper’s Pizza. At a news conference at the western W...
WASHINGTON — With six days before Americans choose a new president, the Federal Reserve sent a dual message Wednesday: It isn't yet time to raise interest rates. But it's getting very close. After its latest policy meeting, the Fed dropped hints that it might resume raising rates at its next meeting in mid-December — a step that would likely lead to some higher loan rates for consumers and businesses. The Fed most recently raised rates in December last year but has since remained on the sidelines. http://www.startribune.com/...
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Cameras on drones stare down at the Canadian border from as high as 28,000 feet, scanning vast stretches of mountains, rivers and forests for potential terrorists and drug smugglers. The drones are intended to compensate for the Department of Homeland Security’s lack of personnel and other surveillance equipment to adequately patrol the world’s longest international border. Equipped with high-tech cameras and radar, and capable of staying in the air much longer than planes flown by humans, the drones fill a critical gap i...
WASHINGTON — President Obama sharply criticized the decision by his FBI director to alert Congress on Friday about the discovery of new e-mails related to the Hillary Clinton server case, implying that it violated investigative norms and trafficked in innuendo. “We don’t operate on incomplete information,” Obama said in an interview with NowThis News, broadcast Wednesday. “We don’t operate on leaks. We operate based on concrete decisions that are made.” “When this was investigated thoroughly the last time, the conclusion of the FBI, the conclu...
Years ago, the idea of a candidate like U.S. Rep. Tim Walz turning the conservative-leaning southern Minnesota district into a Democratic stronghold would have seemed implausible. But the former Mankato schoolteacher and National Guardsman has built a 10-year career in Congress on an eclectic political record. Walz is an opponent of new gun restrictions but among the earliest supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. He talks about helping immigrant populations but supported a Republican-led measure to expand background...
President Obama said federal officials are considering rerouting the controversial Dakota Access pipeline, the $3.8-billion project that has stirred large protests by Native Americans and violent clashes with law enforcement. “As a general rule, my view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans, and I think that right now the Army Corps is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline,” Obama said Tuesday in an interview the social media start-up NowThis News, referring to the U.S. Army Corps of...
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — President Barack Obama says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is examining whether the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline can be rerouted in southern North Dakota to alleviate the concerns of American Indians. Obama told the online news outlet NowThis that his administration is monitoring the situation closely but will “let it play out for several more weeks.” “As a general rule, my view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans, and I think that right now the Army Corps is examini...
CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA—Water protectors attempting to pray for sacred sites being desecrated by the Dakota Access Pipeline this morning were met again with extreme force by law enforcement. Overnight, a makeshift bridge was built to connect the northern edge of the Oceti Sakowin camp to land where the Dakota Access Pipeline is currently continuing construction on unceded treaty land north of the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation. With permission by the Army Corps of Engineers, law enforcement destroyed the bridge intended for elders t...
CANNON BALL, N.D. - Officers in riot gear clashed again Wednesday with protesters near the Dakota Access pipeline, hitting dozens with pepper spray as they waded through waist-deep water in an attempt to reach property owned by the pipeline's developer. The confrontation came hours after North Dakota regulators criticized the pipeline company for not immediately reporting the discovery of American Indian artifacts and a day after President Barack Obama raised the possibility of future reroutes to alleviate tribal concerns. Public Service...
STANDING ROCK, North Dakota — Police in riot gear shot rubber bullets and used pepper spray on demonstrators — who call themselves water protectors — on the shoreline of the Cantapeta Creek, just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation here on Wednesday. After a few relatively peaceful days at the campground where thousands have gathered to demonstrate against a controversial North Dakota oil pipeline, demonstrators put out calls on social media to "make your way to the river" for a "river action," but to do so "in prayer." In a...
