Central Boiler, which makes high-efficiency outdoor furnaces, may be the biggest manufacturer you’ve never heard of in manufacturing-rich Roseau County in northwestern Minnesota. And this is a nice time of year for the company’s 235 employees: year-end profit-sharing. The owners of Central Boiler, Dennis and Terri Brazier, high school sweethearts and farm kids who started the company in 1984, distributed $1.26 million — about $5,400 per employee — to workers, including production workers who average $20.75 per hour plus benefits. http://...
Something was different about a lot of the Hershey’s kisses in your stocking this year: The popular chocolates no longer contain sugar made in Minnesota. For decades, the Hershey Co. has used sugar made from both sugar beets and sugar cane, but it decided earlier this year to stop buying beet sugar because it comes from genetically modified, or GM, seeds that some consumers don’t like. Hershey, with 2014 sales of $7.4 billion and more than 80 brands of candy sold around the world, was a huge customer for beet sugar farmers, and its dec...

Mashantucket — Beginning the first week of January, members of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police Department will become the first in the region to make the use of body cameras part of their everyday routine. For police Chief William Dittman, the decision to join the growing number of forces with mobile cameras was an easy one. "This is the state of Connecticut. It's going to be a mandate — we can see it coming," Dittman said. "We wanted to get ahead of the curve. We want to be the most proactive police department in the area." htt...

GALLUP, N.M. — After a few years living with her sister, Rose Mary Zunie, 59, was ready to move into a place of her own. So, on an arid Saturday morning this past summer, the sisters piled into a friend’s pickup truck and headed for a mobile-home sales lot here just outside the impoverished Navajo reservation. The women — one in a long, colorful tribal skirt, another wearing turquoise jewelry, a traditional talisman against evil — were steered to a salesman who spoke Navajo, just like the voice on the store’s radio ads. http://ww...

BISMARCK – It’s a running joke at the Ramsey County Courthouse in Devils Lake, just a short drive north of the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation. But it’s no laughing matter to Judge Donovan Foughty, who shares the hypothetical scenario to drive home the dearth of services for juveniles who run afoul of the law on the reservation. http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/news/crime-and-courts/3911770-judge-proposes-giving-tribal-youths-access-state-juvenile-services...
LINCOLN — Officials with the Omaha Tribe have tamped down their hopes of using marijuana to alleviate crippling poverty on their reservation. Majorities in a November referendum voted to support legalizing the drug for recreational and medical purposes. The tribe’s elected officials said they would explore developing marijuana as a commercial enterprise on a reservation with 3,500 members plagued by 69 percent unemployment. http://www.omaha.com/news/nebraska/omaha-tribe-shifts-its-focus-from-legalizing-pot-to-growing/article...

SANTA FE, N.M. — Cigarette packages in appealing colors, the words “natural” and “additive-free,” along with images of a Native American smoking a pipe are part of what a new federal lawsuit calls a comprehensive campaign to mislead consumers into thinking Natural American Spirit cigarettes are more healthful or less harmful than other varieties. That’s the contention in a national class action complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque by a San Diego law firm, Ronald Marron, teamed up with the Rothstein Law Firm of San...

A ghost of Christmas past haunts the Dakota to this day—the ghost of a great injustice to 38 men hanged the day after Christmas in 1862, of injustice to 265 others also convicted in sham military commissions, of injustice to more than 3,000 Dakota people held captive and then forced on a death march west out of Minnesota. “The Dakota have been dehumanized… and the injustices continue to the present, there still isn’t any justice,” Angelique EagleWoman (Wambdi A. WasteWin) told ICTMN. The Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota woman who is a professor...

When Ramona Wilson went missing more than 21 years ago, hitchhiking along the cold open road of Highway 16 in Northwest British Columba was, for some, the only way to get from town to town for more than 1,600 miles. Her body was found 10 months later near Smithers, British Columbia. Since then, many women have shared Ramona’s fate. The infamous stretch of road, more than 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) north of Vancouver, has been known as the Highway of Tears for quite some time. Read more at http://indiancountrytodaymedianetw...
