The family of railroad baron James J. Hill started a charitable foundation in 1934 with the wealth it accrued after the railroad swept westward through American Indian lands. Today, that Northwest Area Foundation is trying to make amends, giving 40 percent of its $16 million in annual grants to Indian-led organizations. It’s joined by a handful of Minnesota foundations that have prioritized such giving in recent years — bucking a national decline in philanthropy to Indian causes. http://www.startribune.com/report-minnesota-i...

The U.S. attorney for Minnesota has tripled the number of prosecutors working crimes in Indian Country, while taking on more cases referred from tribal jurisdictions, all against a backdrop of criticism in recent years over the federal response to crimes on tribal land.

MacDonald said her office has agreed to prosecute 28 of the 32 cases referred this year from four tribes over which it...
