Thanksgiving morning is time when we prepare to gather with loved ones by cleaning and cooking and preparing a feast by sticking our hands deep inside the cavity of a turkey in a manner not unlike that of a TSA agent, except that the TSA agent’s hands aren’t full of Stove-Top stuffing. Hopefully. But this Thanksgiving, let’s pause for a moment and remember to give thanks to the Pilgrims. For if not for the Pilgrims, there would be no America, and with no America, those of us with European ancestry would be living in Europe and wouldn’t have to...

Mat Pendleton grew up on the Lower Sioux reservation, and over the years he has learned a lot about his culture, especially as it relates to tobacco and keeping it sacred. When Pendleton talks about tobacco, he is not referring to the commercial tobacco one might purchase in a store. Rather it is the traditional tobacco from the branches of the red willow tree. http://www.redwoodfallsgazette.com/article/20151126/NEWS/151129845...

AGENCY VILLAGE, S.D. – Fifteen-year-old Aiyana Englund got up in front of a crowd in the rotunda of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate tribal headquarters this past summer and talked about respect.

Apparently, though, her words and thoughts were not enough. http://www.inforum.com/news/3891339-teen-suicide-indian-reservation-brings-tears-sadness-cry-help...

COLVILLE INDIAN RESERVATION — It’s a stickpin skyline: fire-blackened trees without leaves, needles or even branches as far as the eye can see. The quiet is deathly, until an 18-wheel logging truck roars out of the blackened woods. James Griffin hops out of cab of his logging rig. He strides past the towering tires and throws his weight into tightening the chains on a full load of ponderosa pine logs, some 3 feet around, that he is trucking out of the burn. http://www.yakimaherald.com/news/state_news/colville-tribes-race-tim...

It’s been nearly 400 years since the Wampanoag people encountered the starving, cold pilgrims in Plymouth Bay. With an already thriving agricultural model in fertile Massachusetts, the Indigenous tribe taught the uneducated British settlers how to cultivate their own food, eventually culminating in a three-day-long shared meal celebrating the harvest — and securing the future of colonial expansion in the United States. That historical event, which will be memorialized at Thanksgiving tables across the country this week, reflects the fact tha...
An 82-year-old woman from Dalles First Nation in northwestern Ontario will receive $70,000 in advance costs for a court case after a judge heard what he described as a "bizarre and lamentable motion." Ruth Ann Henry applied to the courts for advance costs in a case that could see former students at the Fort William Indian Hospital Sanatorium School receive compensation under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/judge-grants-82-year-old-woman-advance-costs-in-case-reje...
But Koenig's story is about so much more than basketball, as he is one of only a few Native Americans playing college ball. Koenig, 21, is a member of Wisconsin's Ho-Chunk Nation. His success on the court, as well his pride of his heritage, is turning him into a role model across the country. He said it's a role he embraces. "In the past few years, I've been getting a lot of support from just native country, from different tribes, reservations and all that," he told WISN 12's Mike Gousha. "I'm just trying to be a role model where there's not...
