Officers with the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department arrested a person of interest in an October homicide on Wednesday, a news release from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said. Jose DeJesus Rodriguez-Quezada, 44, was arrested on three local charges including being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and obstructing a public officer. Rodriguez-Quezada was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from Washington and on a hold from Immigration and Customs Enforcement....
Congress has yet to reenact the Children’s Health Insurance Program and states will soon run out of funds to prop up the program. That will mean that thousands of American Indian and Alaska Native children will lose their health insurance. And, the result is the Indian Health Service will have to stretch its already thin dollars to try and cover the budget hole. The Children’s Health Insurance Program expired Sept. 30. This federal program insures young people and pregnant women who make just enough money not to qualify for Medicaid (but can...
A former Main Line investment banker known as the “godfather of payday lending” was found guilty of racketeering conspiracy charges Monday by federal jurors, whose verdict cast doubt on the legality of business tactics that have enabled the multibillion-dollar industry for years. The panel of nine women and three men took less than nine hours to convict Charles M. Hallinan — who in a nearly two-decade career originated strategies that have been widely adopted by other payday lenders — on 17 counts that also included fraud and interna...

Minnesota Historical Society CEO and director Stephen Elliott, who aimed to tell the state's full history through new departments for American Indian initiatives, inclusion and community engagement, will retire next June. Elliott, 68, who has held the post for seven years, said he's leaving now so his wife Diane, a deacon with the Episcopal Church, can take a position with a congregation in Ontario. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-historical-society-ceo-who-pushed-native-american-initiatives-to-retire/460315723/...
WASHINGTON – The Federal Communications Commission is moving to rein in a low-cost telephone service for low-income customers that critics say will hit Indian Country hard if fully implemented. But FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and other supporters say the reforms would close the digital divide between urban and rural Americans by ending “ongoing waste, fraud and abuse” in the program that serves more than 12 million people nationwide – and 212,630 people in Arizona as of August. https://www.indianz.com/News/2017/11/27/cronkite-news...
“Is this a crisis?” The woman at the reception desk of the Guidance Center in Flagstaff, Arizona, needed to know. “Yes!” my friend Mary responded for me as she pushed paperwork my way. I could not read because my vision was blurry with tears and my hands were trembling so violently I struggled to hold a pen. https://www.outsideonline.com/2261511/pure-land-annette-mcgivney-excerpt...
Compared to plenty of other Northeast South Dakota towns, Sisseton doesn't necessarily qualify as a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of town. But the local college's brand-new women's basketball team is trying out that mantra for itself anyway. https://www.dailyamerican.com/sisseton-wahpeton-mustangs-women-bucking-expectations-in-year/article_a18a2bed-ccc7-5b8b-9a82-266afe5ff2d2.html...
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Water entered the snorkel of an Argentine submarine and caused one of its batteries to short circuit before the vessel went missing 12 days ago, a navy spokesman said Monday. Hopes for survivors have been largely crushed by reports of an explosion detected near the time and place where the ARA San Juan was last heard from on Nov. 15. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-undersea-rescue-module-arriving-sub-area-argentina-194653532.html...
When Keith Wynne arrived at the nursing station on the Kashechewan First Nation on July 17 complaining of back pain, the nurses sent him home with Tylenol and Advil. They didn't help. Over the following month, the 29-year-old made five trips to the same Northwestern Ontario medical facility and reported the same symptoms. Each appointment resulted in an offer of painkillers. On the fifth visit, his mother, Jane, demanded that her son be given a blood test. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/slow-diagnosis-of-first...

(Reuters Health) - One in five teens are victims of bullying, and these adolescents are about twice as likely to bring guns and knives to school than peers who aren’t bullied, a U.S. study suggests. Researchers examined how high school students answered three survey questions: how often they skipped school because they felt unsafe; how often they got in physical fights at school; and how many times they were threatened with a weapon at school. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bullying-school-arms/bullied-teens-twice-as-lik...
Early in Kelly Wickham Hurst’s teaching career, some of her colleagues warned her about an older male coworker. He came in early and sometimes cornered women, telling inappropriate jokes that at times led to uncomfortable physical contact he brushed off as accidental, they said. The Springfield, Ill., middle school had a wave of young, newly hired female teachers that year, and they believed its administration didn’t take their concerns about the man seriously, Hurst said. https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2017/11/29/when-i...
