More than five plays tanked the Vikings’ once-promising season. That season will end with a third-place finish in the NFC North and without a spot in the postseason, even though the Vikings won their first five games. Their fate was sealed Saturday, when they lost 38-25 at Green Bay to drop to 7-8 after that 5-0 start. Let’s take inventory of some key (non-injury) moments that, in chronological order, led to a 2-8 collapse in the past 10 games, including four consecutive losses in the NFC North. Every phase had an equal letdown even as muc...
The people of Hendricks, Minn., thought they had won the feedlot war two years ago when they sued to stop a mega-dairy slated for a hilltop just across the border in South Dakota. They feared that if the farm’s huge manure lagoons ever sprang a leak, the waste would enter a nearby stream and run straight down into Lake Hendricks, a civic gem they just rescued from years of pollution. But now, for a second time, county officials in South Dakota granted a permit for the 4,000-cow feedlot. And opponents find themselves up against not just the l...
For hundreds of protesters, it was cause to cheer when the Obama administration this month declined to issue an easement for the Dakota Access pipeline's final segment. But that elation was dampened by the uncertainty of what comes next: a Donald Trump-led White House that might be far less attuned to issues affecting Native Americans. "With Trump coming into office, you just can't celebrate," said Laundi Germaine Keepseagle, who is 28 and from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, where the demonstrators have been camped out near the North...
With the naming of Sean Spicer as White House press secretary, Donald Trump has selected a Republican Party insider and communications veteran. But that doesn’t mean it will be business as usual for the press corps that covers the next administration. Trump’s unconventional, sometimes hostile, relationship with the news media and his penchant for communicating through unfiltered Twitter posts threaten to upend a decades-old Washington tradition that relies almost entirely on protocol. The result, reporters and editors say, could be a loss of...
It's halftime at the Oreo Classic Tooth Decay Bowl, so let me tell you a quick story. My youngest son is a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. He's a HAC, a Helicopter Aircraft Commander in the Pacific. He calls me up every now and then for a quick forecast. For years I've been telling him not to push the weather. Want to live long enough to see grandkids? Be perpetually paranoid about the weather. On Christmas Eve we all drove up to our cabin near Nisswa. I dialed up the computer models and decided to turn around and return to the Twin Cities 10...
Since October, the Backwater Bridge just outside of the Sacred Stones protest camp near Cannon Ball, N.D. has been a flash point between protesters and police. It was where police used tear gas and fire hoses to put out blazes and repel protesters just before Thanksgiving and has been closed to traffic far longer. The bridge itself has been closed since late October, when protesters blocked it by burning cars, potentially causing structural damage. On Thursday, though, it became a symbol of reconciliation as the Standing Rock tribal government...
CANNON BALL, S.D. (AP) — For hundreds of protesters, it was cause to cheer when the Obama administration this month declined to issue an easement for the Dakota Access pipeline’s final segment.

Rival factions claiming leadership of the Narragansett Tribe continued their standoff Saturday as a Providence peace worker arrived to help negotiate a resolution, Charlestown Police Chief Jeffrey Allen said. Allen said Providence Police Chief Hugh T. Clements Jr. had reached out to PJ Fox III, executive director of the Providence-based Institute for the Study & Practice of Nonviolence, and Fox was negotiating with Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas, who does not recognize a vote in October to impeach him, and Domingo Monroe from the group that has...

Could the Up North vacation spots downstaters have loved for generations — including Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Cross Village — become a vast Indian reservation? A Petoskey-based tribe says it already is and has been for more than 160 years. Now the tribe is asking a federal judge to allow it to assert jurisdiction over the area. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/12/25/indian-tribe-bids-make-big-chunk-up-north-michigan-reservation/95374712/...
Tribal warfare has broken out over a millionaire’s offer to give a piece of Manhattan — his West Village home — back to the Indians. Jean-Louis Goldwater Bourgeois is ready to bestow the $4 million house on the Hudson River to Anthony Jay Van Dunk, a chief in the Lenape nation, the tribe that originally inhabited Manhattan. But after The Post revealed Bourgeois’ philanthropy last Sunday, another Lenape chief has come forward to say Van Dunk was kicked out of the tribe and that he would like the property. http://nypost.com/20...
Firefighting crews from several Native American tribes have been battling the deadly wildfires in Sevier County. “We had a lot of Native American crews — Navajo, Apache, and others — on this fire,” said Warren Bielenberg, a spokesman at the wildfire command center. "This is because this fire hit when most of the fire crews across the country had shut down for the end of fire season. The Native American crews were the only ones still active.” Bielenberg said among the crews in Sevier County are the Navajo Scout Type 2 Initial Attack Crew, Mes...
CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA – Even though the winter solstice officially arrived at 5:44 a.m. this past Wednesday morning, it has already been a long winter for the water protectors, who have opposing the Dakota Access pipeline near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. For most of December, water protectors have faced fierce snowstorms, coupled with the harsh prairie winds, that have brought windchill temperatures well below zero, water protectors are enjoying Christmas in the warmth of camp fires, propane heaters and generosity of thousands a...
Several payday lending businesses operated by Indian tribes or their affiliates are not immune from a state law that limits the size of such loans and the interest and fees that can be charged, the state Supreme Court ruled yesterday. The justices unanimously held that the defendant lenders had not shown that they are immune from compliance with the California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law, and overturned lower court rulings in their favor. The court said the lenders can make a further attempt in the trial court, however....
When President Obama held the eighth White House Tribal Nations Conference last fall, all 567 federally recognized tribes were invited to attend. As the Standing Rock demonstration continued in North Dakota, participants talked about a variety of issues, including how the United States could more carefully consider indigenous rights and property when planning and permitting future infrastructure projects. But not all indigenous peoples were represented at the president's home. Invitations were extended only to leaders of federally recognized...
KALISPELL, Mont. - Tribal leaders in Montana have declared a formal emergency over invasive mussel larvae in reservation waters and Flathead Lake. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes declared the emergency on December 20. The resolution calls for the formation of an incident management team in response to larvae found in Tiber and Canyon Ferry reservoirs, the Milk River near Malta and the Missouri River south of Townsend. The tribal team would work with the state and other groups fighting the invasive species. Invasive mussels rapidly...
