A man accused of sending racist private messages to a Black Lives Matter Facebook page has lost his job with food giant Archer Daniels Midland. Brad Schultz used a racial epithet in referring to the group and told them “get out of town with your [expletive] protesting,” based on screenshots of the messages widely circulated over social media. Schultz’s message added that they should “just leave, white people don’t like you.” At least one Facebook group posted the messages publicly last week along with a number for ADM, where Schultz was...

The leaders of a new local program to provide art therapy for veterans dealing with trauma have made a discovery: sometimes the most resistant participant ends up getting the most out of it. For veterans who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder or other forms of service-related trauma, applying paint to canvas or simply cutting out and pasting images from a magazine can often be a better form of expression than sitting around and talking about it. St. Paul-based Ars Bellum Foundation has partnered with the Adler Graduate School, a...
The U.S. stock market took investors for a wild ride in 2015, but in the end it was a trip to nowhere. Despite veering between record highs and the steepest dive in four years, the stock market is on track to end the year essentially flat. That means if you invested in a fund that tracks the Standard & Poor's 500 index, you have little to show for the past 12 months. "It's been mildly disappointing," said Michael Baele, managing director at the Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank. "Any time that you come in toward the end of the year close to...

LOUIS — A rare winter flood pushed swollen rivers and streams to virtually unheard-of heights Tuesday, sparking widespread evacuations and the transfer of inmates from an Illinois state prison as Missouri's governor activated the National Guard to help divert traffic away from submerged roads.

VANCOUVER — As the federal review of Kinder Morgan’s $6.8-billion Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion nears its end, at least a dozen First Nations continue to say the review is flawed, and they oppose the project over its potential environmental effects. Those effects, they say, include the risk of tanker spills in Burrard Inlet. Barring intervention in the review process by the new federal government under Justin Trudeau, these First Nations are prepared to take their fight to the courts. http://www.timescolonist.com/busines...

A special presentation is planned Wednesday to commemorate and pay tribute to Shoshone-Bannock tribal members who were wounded or killed in service to the country. “This is a very big deal,” said organizer Miguel Dominic. “We have Purple Heart cities and states, but this is the only reservation.” http://www.idahostatejournal.com/members/fort-hall-named-purple-heart-reservation/article_335c5ba9-4c05-5d82-9f9...
Frank Ellis has wild eyes and a full beard. Last Tuesday, he also wore a beanie and a flannel. His voice is thick and merry. He looks like he was born beneath a cedar in the Pacific Northwest.

The tap house opened in November and is the first Washington state brewery owned and operated by a tribe. http://www.scnews.com/news/article_6dec039c-ae52-11e5-8c06-2ba7a6dc32a5.html...
Governments at any level are set up to serve the people, and those elected to represent the public on one of those units are called on to make decisions that have the best interest of their constituents in mind. For generations, the Lower Sioux Tribal Council has served the people of the Native American community in Redwood County, and over the past year the leaders of that council have committed their efforts to make their community better through investments with long-term ramifications not only economically but in terms of education, health...
ROSEBUD – A Rosebud Tribal member who was hired as the Chief of Police over a year ago, appears to be a victim of tribal politics as he has never been able to start his job.

An excerpt of the hiring action reads “Motion to seat Kevin Swalley as Chief of Police.” The vote was 13 in favor, 0 opposed and 1 not voting.
