  • Native rapper spreads positive message with 'Art of Expression'

    Pippi Mayfield, DL Online|Nov 30, 2015

    Last week, students in Detroit Lakes got to experience a hip-hop music performance, a history lesson and Native pride all at once. Red Lake Nation resident Thomas Barrett Jr. took the stage and classrooms with his "Art of Expression." Back in 2005, Barrett was a sophomore in high school when the shooting took place at Red Lake Reservation. He lost some friends in the shooting, and he turned to writing to deal with his grief. "I started writing my thoughts down, which turned into poetry, which...

  • White Earth Chairwoman Erma Vizenor under investigation, tribal hearing set

    Nov 30, 2015

    White Earth Chairwoman Erma Vizenor is fighting to keep her job amid allegations she violated the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe (MCT) constitution. The allegations include Vizenor’s continued work on implementing White Earth’s new, independent constitution (voted in two years ago, but not yet put into effect), despite the tribal council’s resolution on April 20 that stated she could not. That resolution essentially halted all transition work on the new constitution and stripped Vizenor’s authority to work on behalf of the tribe to get it impleme...

  • Ill-timed snowfall greets Twin Cities commuters

    Nov 30, 2015

    The Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend brought the season’s first snowfall to the Twin Cities that truly mattered, a predawn reminder to motorists and homebodies alike of just why we supposedly “like it here.” The poorly timed wintry wallop nudged vehicles by the dozens into ditches and guardrails. A pileup involving two semitrailer trucks just after 6 a.m. had three lanes of southbound Interstate 35W blocked at Hwy. 280, spawning a major backup in Roseville. http://www.startribune.com/ill-timed-snowfall-greets-twin-...

  • Segregated by choice, state's charter schools face a test

    Nov 30, 2015

    The cafeteria at Noble Academy charter school in Brooklyn Park is adorned with Laotian-style ornamentation, a nod to its mostly Hmong student body. Employees at St. Paul’s Higher Ground Academy can converse in the first languages of its predominantly East African population. Nearly all the students at Friendship Academy of the Arts in Minneapolis are black. To compete for students, Minnesota’s charter schools mold themselves with distinct identities that often appeal to individual racial or ethnic groups. That approach has helped create sch...

  • Volunteers find body while searching for missing man in Monticello

    Nov 30, 2015

    A man’s body was found Sunday by volunteers searching in the Monticello area for a missing 24-year-old man from St. Cloud, authorities said. The Wright County Sheriff’s Office said the body was discovered about 2:30 p.m. in a marsh south of Interstate 94 near Dalton Avenue. The discovery came a week after the missing man, Tyler Berg, was last seen leaving his residence in St. Cloud. http://www.startribune.com/body-found-by-volunteers-searching-for-missing-man-in-monticello/358449761/...

  • MnDOT plows poised for potential 10-inch snowfall

    Nov 30, 2015

    Revised forecasts are predicting nearly 10 inches of snow in the Twin Cities, with the season’s first wintry wallop expected to start Monday and last into Tuesday. The first hints of snow in the metro area should show up in the southern suburbs just as the morning commute is wrapping up Monday, according to the National Weather Service. The rest of the metro area as well as all of east-central Minnesota will join the snow party later in the morning as the storm marches north, the NWS added. http://www.startribune.com/latest-...

  • With deadline near, tough choices on Medicare drug plans

    Nov 30, 2015

    As the deadline for switching Medicare health plans approaches, time is running out for seniors to avoid higher drug costs by shopping for different coverage. Premiums are up next year in Minnesota for many with Medicare drug coverage. Beneficiaries also are facing higher deductibles at the pharmacy with some plans, plus higher costs if they don’t use designated drugstores. Nationally, the federal government says big sticker prices for a few high-priced medications are adding significant sums to drug spending for Medicare beneficiaries o...

  • Operators of U.S. nuclear power plants want to extend life to 80 years

    Nov 30, 2015

    NEW YORK – The United States is set to become the first nation to decide whether it’s safe to operate nuclear power plants for 80 years, twice as long as initially allowed. The majority of the nation’s 99 reactors have already received 20-year extensions to their original 40-year operating licenses. Now, operators led by Dominion Resources want to expand the time frame further, potentially creating a precedent for an aging global fleet at a time when the economics of the industry are undergoing dramatic change. http://www.st...

  • Minnesota Department of Corrections doesn't consider counseling veterans as disaster relief

    Nov 30, 2015

    The American Red Cross and the state Department of Corrections have a fundamental disagreement over the ­definition of “disaster.” And it all comes down to one person: Shelley Koski. Koski is one of the few certified American Red Cross Disaster Mental Health volunteers in the country. She’s also a clinical therapist with the Corrections Department at Moose Lake. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-department-of-corrections-doesn-t-consider-counseling-veterans-as-disaster-relief/356405731/...

  • Adoptive parents embrace tribal, communal spirit

    Nov 30, 2015

    Among Native American tribes, there’s a sharing, communal spirit, and the saying “It takes a village to raise a child” rings true. “Other people raise other people’s children all the time,” Zachery Desjarlais said. “It doesn’t have to be a nefarious reason, either.” Adoption, too, taps into that cooperative heritage getting passed down from generation to generation. http://www.columbian.com/news/2015/nov/29/adoptive-parents-embrace-tribal-communal-spirit/...

  • Omaha Tribe interested in pursuing growing, selling of marijuana to boost economy

    Nov 30, 2015

    MACEY, Neb. —About an hour and half north of the metro, the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska sits on 300 square miles of reservation land stretching into Iowa's Monona County. "We need jobs," Daniel Webster said, who lives on the reservation. http://www.ketv.com/news/omaha-tribe-interested-in-pursuing-growing-selling-of-marijuana-to-boost-economy/36696418...
