St. Paul, MN – Under an agreement between the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program in Louisiana, eligibility for loans to implement Agricultural Best Management Practices (AgBMP) in Minnesota will be expanded to include larger livestock operations. A formal Letter of Understanding was recently signed recognizing the importance of coordinating pollution prevention efforts throughout the Mississippi River watershed both locally in Minnesota and in distant downstream areas including the r...
WASHINGTON -- Several Chickasaw Vietnam War veterans have vivid memories of the disdain some members of a divided nation exhibited toward them almost 50 years ago. They are seeing a different attitude now. The group of 18 Chickasaw Warriors witnessed the 35th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial in Washington, D.C. during a tour of the nation's capital sponsored by the Chickasaw Nation to honor their service, dedication and bravery. During the memorial, Chickasaw...

For five years, Riley Reiff showed up for games at Ford Field and headed into the Detroit Lions locker room.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. - Students at Alice Robertson Junior High School are getting hands-on experience with gardening thanks to a $29,000 donation from the Cherokee Nation. Funds from the tribe were allocated for an outdoor garden with seven raised beds and a greenhouse on the Muskogee school's campus. Art students painted the raised beds in honor of the seven clans of Cherokee society, and the planting of flowers, herbs and vegetables began in October. "For our students, this is making a huge impact...
FARMINGTON — The deadline to file a claim in a settlement for a class-action lawsuit centering on Indian trust assets is next week. The settlement is the result of a class-action lawsuit filed in 1996 by the late Elouise Cobell, who was an enrolled member of the Blackfoot Tribe in Montana, against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Treasury. http://www.daily-times.com/story/news/local/navajo-nation/2017/11/21/deadline-file-claims-under-cobell-settlement-nears/882573001/...
Dozens of Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members and supporters rallied with state and local leaders at the Capitol on Monday over the monthslong policing dispute between Mille Lacs County and the tribe. The band organized the rally to draw awareness about the impasse over public safety on reservation and trust lands. http://www.startribune.com/amid-public-safety-crisis-mille-lacs-band-of-ojibwe-holds-rally-to-protest-impasse-with-county/458966603/...
There is no better way for any legislature — be it a tribal council, a state assembly, or a Congress — to telegraph what’s most important to a society than through tax policy. How a government collects revenue says what constituent groups are seen to matter. And, conversely, what groups and issues are insignificant. And, that of course, is Indian Country. As Adrian Sinclair wrote in Cronkite News: “Indian Country once again does not have a seat at the table.” Tribes “aren’t treated the same as state and local governments across the board on a w...
NEW TOWN, N.D. - It's last call in New Town. Liquor stores and distributors are feeling the weight of a fight between the MHA Nation and North Dakota government over a 7 percent sales tax on alcohol sales. If the issue with the liquor tax isn't resolved soon bars like Ranchman 23 and others may have to close indefinitely. http://www.kfyrtv.com/content/news/Alcohol-cut-off-from-Forth-Berthold-due-to-liquor-tax-debate-458945833.html...
1. Chief Busticogan, an Ojibwe, lived near the Big Fork River in what is now Itasca County, some 200 miles north of the Twin Cities. The head of the Nett Lake band was a magnanimous man, who disregarded his own peril in order to save the lives of those who brought ruin to the wilderness and its indigenous inhabitants. http://www.citypages.com/news/4-native-american-statues-minnesota-could-do-without/458798553...
When Hastiin Yazhi started a new woodworking business, he knew he would have to market it online. That sounds easy enough, but he lives on lands in northern New Mexico belonging to the Navajo Nation, which he describes having “lots of mesas and plateaus.” Because of the terrain, and the very rural setting, Yazhi lacks landline, cell, and internet service. The former IT worker invested in a 4G booster and an antenna mounted on his TV antenna so he could get online and make calls. He was online, and could show his work to the world, but it was...
Students at Hendrick Hudson High School and at a South Dakota high school on an Indian reservation are virtually collaborating on science research. The partnership is a pilot program through the Society for Science and the Public to match schools with "well-established science research programs" to underserved schools to mentor, support and help them develop their own, according to the press release announcement from the Hendrick Hudson school district. http://www.lohud.com/story/news/education/2017/11/20/virtual-partnership...
After allegations of sexual assault piled up against Harvey Weinstein, Wind River movie director Taylor Sheridan announced he would donate all future royalties to a Montana-based Native American women’s advocacy group. The film was originally distributed by the Weinstein Company and is about the rape and murder of a Northern Arapaho woman. Lucy Simpson, director of the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, said her organization is still in shock over the announcement. http://wmot.org/post/wind-river-movie-royalties-do...
BLUE LAKE, CA. – A mother of five from North Dakota has been missing since late October, and her family received word she may have been spotted in Humboldt County. 32-year-old Olivia Lone Bear was last seen in a teal, blue colored Chevy Silverado truck with North Dakota plates. http://kiem-tv.com/2017/11/20/missing-north-dakota-woman-possibly-spotted-humboldt-county/...
Harbour seals, sea lions and some fish-eating killer whales have been rebounding along the Northeast Pacific Ocean in recent decades. But that boom has come with a trade-off: They're devouring more of the salmon prized by a unique but fragile population of endangered orcas. Competition with other marine mammals for the same food may be a bigger problem than fishing, at least in recent years, for southern resident killer whales that spend time in Washington state's Puget Sound, a new study suggests. https://www.theglobeandmai...
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, the first woman to lead the U.S. central bank, says she will step down from its Board of Governors once her successor is sworn into office, resolving a key question as to whether she would stay on in a diminished role. President Donald Trump has nominated Jerome Powell to replace Yellen, 71, when her term ends in February, though his chairmanship is still subject to Senate confirmation. That move bucked a long-standing tradition of presidents reappointing their predecessor’s Fed pick. http...
