BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Last week inside the mess hall of the USS Turner Joy, third-grader Madalyn McGraw and her friends from Gateway Christian Schools watched a tiny tin boat with a small candle inside putter across a tub of water. "The heat makes steam and the steam makes it move," Madalyn explained, quickly catching on to the engineering of the small craft, which had a tiny tailpipe to draw in water for the steam. "It's cool how the energy moves the boats," she said. "I love science." http://www.chron.com/news/education/...
ST. PAUL—Minnesota students completed more than 1 million standardized math, reading and science tests last spring, but school districts reported only one case of obvious cheating to the state Department of Education. If more students or school staff are cheating — and test security experts say some certainly are — state officials have no way to find out. The department relies on schools to police themselves when it comes to test security. It establishes procedures and asks districts to report any irregularities, but the state does not inves...
Detroit — The Detroit Public Schools Community District plans to transform the district’s high schools under a plan to create a targeted field of study for each. The so-called “cluster career” schools are part of the a new long-term academic turnaround plan unveiled by district officials Friday. Interim superintendent Alycia Meriweather said the plan also includes goals of having a 10 percent increase in the number of students meeting their individual student growth targets, 100 percent of instructional staff to be offered professional develop...
A 15-year-old girl from Hebbronville took her own life Friday after allegedly being bullied at school and online for months. The Jim Hogg Sheriff's Department is now investigating her death with the assistance of the Texas Rangers, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/2016/11/05/texas-rangers-investigating-suicide-teen-allegedly-bullied-months Natalie Natividad took a lethal dose of pills Friday night....
From the moment they secured a warrant, dozens of FBI agents worked night and day to analyze a trove of messages that they thought might help advance their probe of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server, according to a U.S. official. The pressure was intense. FBI Director James Comey had told legislators in late October — less than two weeks before the election — that the bureau’s work had resumed, igniting a firestorm of criticism that his revelation had affected the election. The agents’ work, at first, seemed endless. They had...
Minnesota burst back into prominence in the final hours of the presidential campaign Sunday as Republican candidate Donald Trump made a last-minute stop in the Twin Cities, and Democrats fanned out across the state for Hillary Clinton. “If I don’t win Minnesota, I’m going to look real bad to those pundits I don’t respect very much,” said Trump, drawing roaring applause from about 5,000 supporters inside a Sun Country Airlines hangar Sunday afternoon, and thousands more outside. “This is our last chance. We’re not going to have another chanc...
MIAMI — Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general and the epicenter of several political storms during the Clinton administration, including the seizure of Elian Gonzalez, died early Monday. She was 78. Reno died from complications of Parkinson's disease, her goddaughter Gabrielle D'Alemberte said. D'Alemberte said Reno spent her final days at home in Miami surrounded by family and friends. Reno, a former Miami prosecutor who famously told reporters "I don't do spin," served nearly eight years as attorney general under P...
In their own words, voters tell us: What matters to you this election? When did you commit? Why do you believe in your candidate? http://www.startribune.com/true-believers-for-these-minn-voters-choice-is-clear/400023581/...
Ed McNamara sat in the driver’s seat of his John Deere combine recently, musing about crop prices as he mowed through six rows of corn at a time. Thousands of Minnesota farmers have withstood stubbornly low crop prices during the past 27 months, and farmers’ average net income has been dropping steadily for the past three years. McNamara, who has been farming just south of the Twin Cities near Goodhue since 1978, has seen the farm economy cycle up and down several times and knows the drill when profit margins are slim to none. “Tighten your...
Minneapolis and St. Paul recently passed new and historic sick pay ordinances aimed at alleviating the dilemma that some workers face in having to choose between whether to go to work sick or stay at home and risk their jobs or income. While employers located outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul might be tempted to ignore the new laws, the laws are drafted to reach beyond these cities and to potentially effect the sick leave practices of employers throughout Minnesota. What are the new rules? Both ordinances mandate protected sick leave...
CHICAGO - After April Campbell’s 16-year-old son was shot to death in May about four blocks from their home, she took it upon herself to help police find the killer. Campbell, 49, disabled with a spinal injury, grabbed her walker and went door to door on the city’s South Side trying to piece together a motive and gather evidence. She found witnesses and urged them to talk to police. She collected Facebook posts by people who seemed to claim credit for his killing. She tracked down a shop owner who had a security camera that might have rec...
The Red Lake Band of Chippewa in northern Minnesota intends to build enough solar energy capability on tribal lands over the next several years to free itself from electricity generated from fossil fuels. And, thanks to outside investors who can tap a variety of tax credits, depreciation and deductions, it should cost the tribe very little to eventually become owners of the solar arrays, power-storage units and related equipment. The project is expected to deliver up to 25 megawatts of power at an installed cost of up to $40 million under a...
CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA—As thousands poured onto the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to pledge their support with the Tribe’s fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline, construction near the Missouri River has been halted due to claims that the company is on Federal land. The Dakota Access Pipeline has continued construction under the fallacy that they were operating on land previously purchased by the company. Through investigative journalism and drone video footage, documentation of pipeline misconduct has been shared and witnessed by peo...
On the day a no-fly zone was lifted over Morton County and the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, Dean Dedman Jr. sent his drone into the sky and released some of the most dramatic aerial footage to come from the occupation. It was a shocking first look at the rapid advancement of the Dakota Access pipeline. For miles, the scraped and trenched earth extended all the way to a fortified drill pit, a strange and empty compound sitting practically on the edge of the Missouri River. “What surprised me the most is how fast they got to that point, to...
Since the police crackdown on October 28, the camps in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe over the Dakota access pipeline have seen their share of peaceful – and violent moments. On Wednesday, the #NoDAPL supporters stride to storm a private ranch where the Tribe says artifacts and burials ground exist. They were met by a wall of police who used pepper spray and rubber bullets to beat them back. http://aptn.ca/news/2016/11/05/despite-violence-people-still-heading-to-standingrock-to-help-in-any-way-they-can/...
LANSING, Mich (WLNS) – Line 5, Keystone and now Dakota Access. These are the names of oil pipelines that have been met with intense criticism in the last few years. While oil still flows through Line 5 and President Obama rejected the building of Keystone the fate of the “Dakota Access Pipeline” is still up in the air. http://wlns.com/2016/11/05/protesters-gather-at-capitol-to-rally-against-dakota-access-pipeline/...
murder, and assault of white people is always a breaking news story and cover of the New York Times, but when Native Americans are the victims––well, that’s just not that sexy of a story for our media. My answer: go down to Cannonball, North Dakota for a few days ASAP. You’ll come away forever changed. http://www.mediaite.com/online/obama-clinton-push-stronger-together-unless-youre-native-american/...
For many members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Dakota Access pipeline is just another hit against a group that’s been taking economic punches for generations. The tribe has lived in North and South Dakota for hundreds of years, yet members have little say in how their ancestral land is used by the federal government. Meanwhile, sky-high unemployment rates and poverty levels have afflicted the Sioux for decades. Now, tribe members and protestors say the pipeline could imperil the Sioux drinking water and the environmental health of t...
It’s a lonely world out there, standing on my soapbox in Indian Country stumping for Trump. I was beginning to think I was living on another planet. But since my last column was published, other Martians have stepped forward. And I feel one with the universe again. With just days until the most important election of our lifetime, it’s important that we all speak out on the issues that matter most to us and our families—civilly, without judgment and ridicule.

PHOENIX – The state of Arizona, where presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are waging a tough battle, is home to the second-largest Native American community in the United States. Twenty-two tribes live in this swing state, some 5 percent of the population. After Clinton received the blessing of community leaders recently, her campaign staff believes the Native Americanvote will tip the scales in her favor. As part of the Democratic effort to get the native American vote, Sen. Bernie Sanders was sent to Arizona last month, w...
WASHINGTON – After a long and sometimes disgusting presidential campaign, Americans voters will cast their votes in the presidential election on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Voting is exercising your citizen rights to determine who the next United States president will be. The following table was designed to show the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties’ platforms that were adopted at their respective national conventions this summer relating to their policy positions on American Indian and Alaska Native policy: htt...
Mashantucket — A former councilor and a newcomer displaced two long-serving members of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council in voting among tribal members Sunday, the tribe announced. Crystal Whipple, who served two terms on the council before losing her bid for a third consecutive term last year, was elected along with Merrill “Marvin” Reels. Reels is a nephew of Kenny Reels, a former tribal chairman. Council terms are three years. http://www.theday.com/local/20161106/two-incumbents-ousted-from-mashantucket-council...
