The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to be vigilant in retrieving deliveries from mailboxes and doorsteps amid a rash of mail thefts around the Twin Cities this holiday season. Thieves are looking for gifts, of course, along with cards containing cash or gift cards. “It happens all over,” said Captain Pat Enderlein of the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s a crime of opportunity, so it’s easy.” http://www.startribune.com/police-warn-residents-about-rash-of-mail-package-thefts/406585046/...
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo has discovered a 3-year-old security breach that enabled a hacker to compromise more than 1 billion user accounts, breaking the company's own humiliating record for the biggest security breach in history. The digital heist disclosed Wednesday occurred in August 2013, more than a year before a separate hack that Yahoo announced nearly three months ago . That breach affected at least 500 million users, which had been the most far-reaching hack until the latest revelation. "It's shocking," security expert Avivah Litan of G...
WASHINGTON – Congressional Republicans face a vexing dilemma with the impending presidency of Donald Trump: Will they maintain the tough line on Russia that has been central to their foreign policy for decades, or cede that ground to Democrats? For decades during the Cold War, Republicans tried to claim the hawkish mantle when it came to confronting the Soviet Union. Vice President Richard Nixon famously squared off against Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1959, and years later President Ronald Reagan cast the Soviets as an “evil empire.” Reaga...
BEIJING — China appears to have installed anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons on its man-made islands in the strategically vital South China Sea, a U.S. security think tank says, upping the stakes in what many see as a potential Asian powder keg. The Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a report late Wednesday that the anti-aircraft guns and close-in weapons systems designed to guard against missile attack have been placed on all seven of China's newly created islands. The outposts were built in recent years over o...
SALT LAKE CITY — Conservatives who have long complained about the government's control of vast Western lands hope they will have a new ally in Donald Trump, who has sent mixed signals about how he might manage land and whether he would relinquish federal authority over millions of acres. The president-elect has pledged to honor Theodore Roosevelt's tradition of conservation in the West, with its expansive deserts, snow-capped mountain ranges and red rock canyons. But he has also said he will "unleash" energy production there and has railed a...
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — The brick housing project where Nita Sue Barnes lives in the capital of the Cherokee Nation looks like any middle-class neighborhood in the USA. Homes are adorned with hanging baskets and potted plants, surrounded by colorful flower beds and neatly trimmed lawns. Barnes, 71, who lives on Social Security, relied on the Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation to help her settle into her one-bedroom apartment. And whenever she needs help, the authority is there. It has replaced the insulation in her ceiling, refurbished her c...
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple and Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault have met to discuss reducing tensions between law officers and Dakota Access oil pipeline opponents, as the main protest camp begins to clear out after the federal government stalled the $3.8 billion project. Developer Energy Transfer Partners and the Army are battling in court over permission for the pipeline to cross under the Missouri River in southern North Dakota, the last large chunk of construction for the project to move North Dakota oil 1,200 miles to a...
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The federal government won't send 100 federal officers to help police protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota as requested, drawing a sharp rebuke Wednesday by the county sheriff who wanted the help as well as the head of the National Sheriffs' Association. Sending border patrol and members of the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group might escalate, not ease, tensions between law enforcement and protesters who've camped on federal land for months, Justice Department spokesman Wyn H...
The Army made a stunning admission earlier this month when it announced its decision to require a deeper environmental review and more extensive consultation before deciding whether to grant an easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline. In its consultations with the Standing Rock Sioux about the pipeline crossing underneath Lake Oahe within a half mile of the reservation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers purposefully withheld key studies that could have helped the tribe evaluate the risks. One report modeled damage from potential spills; another...
BISMARCK, N.D. - There's a bitter cold in the air at the Dakota Access Pipeline protest camp causing many people to leave. But that's not the only reason there are fewer tents each day. "The army corps of engineers decision affected a lot of people, you know, even our youth council, part of our youth council members went back home to take a break because of it," one protester said. http://www.ktvq.com/story/34051087/north-dakota-protest-camp-thinning-out...
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The discovery of an oil pipeline spill earlier this month in western North Dakota has received heightened attention because of the battle over the Dakota Access oil pipeline being built about 150 miles to the southeast. While the spill was on a different pipeline, the Standing Rock Sioux and its supporters say a spill on the Dakota Access pipeline could threaten the tribe's drinking water, which is drawn from the Missouri River. The developer of the Dakota Access project, Energy Transfer Partners, and the Army are b...
Incumbent candidate Donald Shalifoe Sr. has lived on the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community reservation since he was born and would like to remain one of 12 who make up its governing body, the Tribal Council. “I have wanted to serve our people for as long as I can remember,” Shalifoe said. “My mother served our people in the early ’70s when I was a child, and I remember how she loved the people of the KBIC. It has been an honor, as well as my humble privilege, to serve our people as a council member for the past three years, as well as Ogima f...
On a frigid morning in Saskatoon, Det.-Const. Chris Harris stood in the back doorway of an Avenue U home, chatting with its occupants.

SHIPROCK, N.M. – Carletta Begay and her family thought they were getting their big break. They’d been living in a flat-topped box home on the Navajo Reservation. All six were crammed into a few hundred square feet, paying rent to a local housing corporation. But one spring, a contractor for the Navajo Housing Authority started work on vacant lots sprinkled throughout the South Shiprock neighborhood. New houses were going up, 91 in all. Begay believed one could be hers. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-invest...

The funding will support project activities that focus on promoting early intervention strategies and the implementation of positive youth development programming to reduce risk factors for suicidal behavior and substance misuse by working with native youths up to and including age 24. htt...
Canada has made progress improving its human rights record in the last year, Amnesty International says, but has "stumbled" or "failed" in a number of areas — including Indigenous rights, Justin Trudeau's cornerstone commitment. Alex Neve, the secretary general of Amnesty International Canada, said Trudeau's Liberal government has demonstrated leadership in areas such as transgender rights and fighting the death penalty around the world. But Canada loses points from Amnesty for approving a multibillion-dollar sale of arms to Saudi Arabia and f...
BUTTE -- The assembled graduates heard messages of hope and congratulations. "You have a community of people who believe in you and have seen firsthand your determination, your strength, your desire to overcome any obstacle that may confront you," Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney told them. The commencement earlier this year was not at a high school or a university. It was in Butte District Court Judge Kurt Krueger's family drug court. http://helenair.com/family-drug-courts-fight-rising-tide-of-meth-fueled-child/article_b6dc62ba-a246-56...
A Wyoming teenager accused in the double murder of a couple on the Crow Reservation in July 2015 is competent to proceed to trial, a federal judge in Billings said Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Susan Watters ruled that defendant Jesus Deniz Mendoza, 19, of Worland, is mentally competent to stand trial. Watters ruled from the bench immediately after a hearing in which the only witness, a forensic psychologist, testified by telephone for the prosecution about Mendoza’s competency and submitted a report of her evaluation of him. The report is s...
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Billings contractor who has been convicted of defrauding the Chippewa Cree Tribe and bribing tribal officials has pleaded not guilty to new charges stemming from the corruption probe. The Billings Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/2hNsz0W ) that Kevin McGovern and his company, CMG Construction, on Tuesday denied allegations that they conspired to file false claims with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which had given the tribe $11.6 million to help with recovery from a 2010 flood.

Billings contractor Kevin McGovern and his company, CMG Construction, were back in federal court in Great Falls on Tuesday facing new criminal charges stemming from a large corruption probe involving the Chippewa Cree Tribe. McGovern and CMG denied allegations that they conspired to file false claims with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which had given the tribe $11.6 million to help with recovery from a 2010 flood that destroyed the Rocky Boy’s Health Clinic. The clinic served tribal members on the Rocky Boy’s Reservation in nor...
