If you’re feeling the angst of middle age, take heart. Chances are good that you’ll emerge without resorting to a face-lift, pricey red convertible or fling with someone half your age. Psychologists have known for decades that the midlife crisis is a myth, at least for most of us. But the idea has been difficult to eradicate from popular culture. Studies going back 40 years have failed to find proof that people in middle age are predisposed to psychological trauma, said Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a psychology professor at the University of Mas...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Census Bureau is testing new questions on tribal enrollment to try to get a more accurate count of American Indians in 2020, officials said Tuesday. The agency is aiming to avoid a 5 percent undercount of the population seen in 2010 and reaching out to tribes years in advance, Director John Thompson told The Associated Press. "We are testing whether we can ask a separate question on enrollment," Thompson said. "We are trying to put together a question that American Indians and Alaska Natives can look at, u...
UPDATE: The House voted 249 to 177 on Tuesday afternoon to pass H.R.511, the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act. The Obama administration is opposing a bill that would exempt tribes and their enterprises from federal labor law. H.R.511, the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act, is due for a vote today. But President Barack Obama won't support the measure because the White House Office of Management and Budget said it doesn't offer enough protections to tribal employees, the majority of whom are non-Indians. http://www.indianz.com/IndianGa...

Members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs will vote next month whether to allow cannabis cultivation on the reservation. If the ballot referendum passes, Warm Springs could become the first major tribal pot growing enterprise in the state. Marijuana consumption is not legal on the reservation — that would require a separate vote. But the tribes see business potential in sales off of tribal lands. http://www.opb.org/news/article/warm-springs-marijuana-growth-vote/...

(AP) — Two former leaders of an online lending company have made plea deals with federal prosecutors investigating corruption at Plain Green, the high-interest lender that has made millions of dollars for the Chippewa Cree Tribe.

When you look upon a bountiful table at this time of year, do you feel a connection to the squash, the fresh ginger, the apples, cornmeal, the sweet potatoes and walnuts? For native peoples of the Americas, the sense of relationship is strong, says Kevin Gover. As director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and a member of the Midwestern Pawnee tribe, he’s keenly aware of the bond: “There are ceremonies surrounding hunting, gathering, growing, harvesting and cooking food that have been around for thousands of years...

Stress over housing was likely one of the reasons why David James flew into a rage and attacked 11 people with a hammer at the Xwiston First Nation band office near Lillooet on Oct. 14, the chief says. James, 22, was living with his mother in a rent-subsidized house on reserve when he died after being physically restrained to stop his attack on people at office of the First Nation, which is also called the Bridge River Indian Band. Although James’ mother paid rent to the band for the house, every additional adult living in the same house was r...
