  • Poll warning for Trump and Republicans: Danger ahead

    Nov 4, 2019

    The latest Washington Post-ABC News poll should send a shudder through the Republican Party. Only 38 percent of Americans approve of President Trump’s performance, while 58 percent disapprove, 48 percent strongly so. The majority of the poll was taken after the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (for which a majority gives Trump credit). Trump’s approval ratings in battleground states such as Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Wisconsin (40 to 55 percent) are only slightly better than his overall numbers. A plurality (49 to 47 percent) approv...

  • NAJA calls for audit on New York Times story

    Nov 4, 2019

    The Native American Journalists Association is calling on the New York Times to provide an audit on how its story titled “Drawn From Poverty: Art Was Supposed to Save Canada’s Inuit. It Hasn’t.” was published. The article, by Catherine Porter, is harmful to Inuit and needs to be addressed. It is a journalist’s duty to avoid harming the people whose stories they are trying to tell. A journalist has power, responsibility and must be held accountable when fueling stereotypes in their reporting. Newsrooms and editors are equally responsib...

  • Pentagon pushed to use vast swath of desert wildlife refuge 'primarily' for military purposes, rough copy bill says

    Nov 4, 2019

    The U.S. Air Force is seeking to assert control over as much as two-thirds of a wildlife refuge in Nevada for training troops and testing weapons, according to a legislative proposal sent by military planners to the Department of the Interior and obtained by The Washington Post. The military’s Nevada Test and Training Range already encompasses much of a vast stretch of southern Nevada desert originally set aside for bighorn sheep, desert tortoises and other wildlife. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service retains primary authority over the r...

    Nov 4, 2019

    When members of the White Earth band of Ojibwe in Minnesota take out their canoes to harvest wild rice, they're gathering a source of nourishment and following a tradition that has connected them to the land for generations. But to the White Earth people, manoomin isn't just a resource to be used—it's an independent entity with the right "to exist, flourish, regenerate and evolve." https://phys.org/news/2019-11-cities-tribes-environmental-approach-nature.html...

  • Grand Rapids gets a chance to show off at national arts conference

    Nov 4, 2019

    GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. – In a classroom inside a defunct, historic elementary school, a few dozen "students" peppered the morning's teachers - three arts leaders - with questions. For two days, attendees of the Rural Arts and Culture Summit had seen firsthand how this northern Minnesota city incorporated the arts into its city government and its public spaces. How, exactly, did that happen? Could they do it, too? http://www.startribune.com/grand-rapids-gets-a-chance-to-show-off-...

  • Feds make hemp a legal crop – now comes the hard part

    Nov 4, 2019

    Hemp is now a bona fide American crop. The US Department of Agriculture this week posted formal federal guidelines for how hemp - the versatile cannabis varietal used for clothing, plastics, fuel and food - can be grown, harvested, tested, processed, transported and sold. The USDA also established the US Domestic Hemp Production Program to regulate the cannabis plant.
