HERMAN, Minn.– Three police vehicles arrived at a west central Minnesota horse ranch Wednesday afternoon. Carrying a search warrant, police and U.S. marshals hoped to find evidence that would lead them to two Lakeville sisters who’d been missing since April 2013. Instead, they found Samantha and Gianna Rucki inside a home on the ranch, “safe and in seemingly good health,” Lakeville police said. Less than four hours later, the girls left the White Horse Ranch in the back of a squad car, hunched forward and covered in a blanket. Lakevil...
A nationwide shortage of FluMist, the nasal spray flu fighter popular among needle-phobic youngsters, has left many Minnesota hospitals and flu clinics in short supply during this, the busiest time of the flu shot season. So far, the Minnesota Department of Health has received just 42 percent of its pre-order of FluMist, said Kris Ehresmann, director of the department’s infectious disease, epidemiology, prevention and control division. Some providers have completely run out, although others still have some in stock. That has left parents e...
MANILA – President Obama called on China on Wednesday to halt its construction on reclaimed islands in the South China Sea, raising the contentious issue at the start of a two-day economic summit meeting at which he and other Pacific Rim leaders also discussed trade and climate change. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with President Benigno Aquino of the Philippines, Obama directly addressed the disputed Chinese claims over islands in the critical waterway. He urged the Chinese to stop military activities there and endorsed a process of a...
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., is leading the charge to officially declare war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, giving the president more sweeping authority to confront an enemy. This is the first time a declaration of war has been authored by a member of Congress since 1941 — although Congress has authorized use of military force several times since then, including in both Iraq in 2002 and Afghanistan in 2001. http://www.startribune.com/rep-emmer-seeks-declaration-of-war-on-isis/351575141/...
The scope of a possible special legislative session widened Wednesday after Senate DFLers said they want to include measures aimed at reducing stubbornly high unemployment and poverty rates among black Minnesotans. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk on Wednesday said that if state lawmakers meet for a special legislative session, as Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed, they should also consider approving measures that “focus on challenges facing the black community in Minnesota.” http://www.startribune.com/bakk-says-challenges-facing...
The council announced Wednesday that it sent a new round of eviction notices targeting Mohawks married to or living with non-aboriginals. The eviction letters, signed by Grand Chief Joe Norton, say that Mohawks who reside with non-indigenous people will have their band membership revoked — this includes eliminating a person’s right to vote in local elections, receive services from local government and live on Mohawk land. Norton’s council adopted the membership law in 1981 to ensure that Mohawk land was not overtaken by non-indigenous peopl...
A lawsuit has been filed by the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin against two federal agencies over the tribe’s hemp growing operation. Federal drug agents raided a field on the tribe’s reservation near Suring last month. Tribal officials say the raid destroyed industrial hemp plants. The Drug Enforcement Agency contends that they seized 30,000 high-grade marijuana plants. DEA and Department of Justice agents participated in the October 23rd operation. According to the lawsuit, tribal officials argue the 2014 federal farm bill gives them the rig...
Members of the Omaha Tribe are moving ahead with a feasibility study on a proposed marijuana-growing operation in western Iowa that would provide pot for medical, industrial and recreational uses. Tribal members have voted on three referendums now giving the Tribal Council the authority to legalize marijuana on the reservation in northeast Nebraska. Chairman Vernon Miller says input from tribal members was vital. “We needed to really gauge the opinions of the Omaha Tribal members,” Miller says. “We didn’t want to take action without their a...
Tribes across the U.S. are finding marijuana is risky business nearly a year after a Justice Department policy indicated they could grow and sell pot under the same guidelines as states. Federal raids on tribal cannabis operations in California followed by a South Dakota tribe’s move this month to burn its crop amid fears it could be next have raised questions over whether there’s more to complying with Justice Department standards than a department memo suggested last December. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_ne...
Three days after purposely destroying their crop in a bonfire, two Flandreau Santee Sioux cannabis farmers spent their Tuesday afternoon mothballing the indoor grow. Metal flood-and-drain tables, 110 feet long and custom-built on rollers, sat empty, polished, and gleaming. A worker rinsed equipment in a deep aluminum sink. “We’re winterizing the whole place,” said Jonathan Hunt, the head grower and vice president of Monarch America, the Colorado-based cannabis firm working with the tribe. “We think of this as a big pause in the project...
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Harrold woman who was prosecuted this year for an election law violation more than a decade ago won't see prison time. Attorney General Marty Jackley says 54-year-old Janice Howe was sentenced Tuesday to four years in prison with all time suspended. She'll spend four years on probation. Court documents allege Howe in 1999 forged signatures on petitions for a constitutional amendment and lied about personally witnessing people sign the petitions. She was arrested in July on an outstanding warrant issued after she was c...

After a four hour hearing Tuesday, the council voted 6-2 to oust chairman Bruce Renville, who was facing his second removal hearing in less than three months. One of the tribe’s district chairman Floyd Kirk Jr. said an interim leader will now be appointed with a special election in probably about 60 days. http://www.prairiebizmag.com/event/article/id/25516/...
TAHOLAH — Billy Frank Jr., the late Nisqually tribal leader, has been named as one of 17 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The awards will be presented at the White House on Nov. 24. “Billy Frank Jr. was a man whose voice will echo in the hearts and minds of both Native and non-native people for a long, long time to come,” said Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation and of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians. http://thedailyworld.com/news/local/billy-frank-receives-presidential-medal-freedo...
Two First Nations leaders in Manitoba have opposing views on how the federal government should proceed with plans to allow Syrian refugees into the country. "Are we letting in ISIS people dressed up as refugees? Those are concerns that we have," said Chief David Pashe of Dakota Tipi First Nation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-first-nations-leaders-split-on-syrian-refugees-coming-into-canada-1.3324899...
A 25-year-old aboriginal woman was stopped on the street by Hamilton police in 2012. And then she was stopped again. And again. The same woman was stopped 14 times throughout the year. In 2013, a 29-year-old black man was "street checked" 13 times. In 2010, a man, considered by officers to be of Middle Eastern descent, was stopped and questioned nine times. New information obtained from city police by CBC Hamilton provides a clearer picture of how carding — which has already been shown to disproportionately affect the city's visible minority c...
A Saskatoon woman sterilized against her will five years ago says she is still suffering physically and emotionally from the procedure.

Her mother was caring for her twin sons and four other children at the time. When Pelletier delivered her youngest daughter, a social worker told her she couldn't leave until she had a tubal ligation. She said she was hounded to sign the consent form. http://www.cbc.ca...

(AP) - A man imprisoned for shooting a Navajo Nation police officer in the head has been ordered to pay more than $5,000 in restitution. Raymond Herder was sentenced earlier this year to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to discharging a firearm in a violent crime. Officer Joseph Gregg survived the shooting last October in the Navajo community of Kaibeto where he was responding to a domestic disturbance call. http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3966797.shtml?cat=500#.Vk0Ovl5xOzl...
