McFarlane, who was booked into the Hennepin County jail Dec. 23 on an unrelated matter and released about 1 p.m. on...
Vikings receiver Adam Thielen once struggled to turn heads in Minnesota. Now the nation can’t ignore him. Patrons at the Fort Myers, Fla., bar, where Flint Motschenbacher took a break from the vacation sun to watch his former high school star, were in awe when No. 19 continually made catch after catch at Lambeau Field last weekend. Thielen enjoyed a career day with 12 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns to put an exclamation point on a breakout campaign in his fourth NFL season. http://www.startribune.com/adam-thielen-d...
A new year was approaching and the children were singing, voices of harmony in a St. Paul school that has become a source of tension within the neighborhood. At Linwood Monroe Arts Plus Lower Campus, teachers use music, drama, dance and the visual arts to educate kids. On a recent Wednesday, four students — each a recent immigrant — learned English by singing about “Mr. Snowman” and the eyes, carrot and blue scarf they colored in for him. They sat at a table in the hallway, however, rather than a classroom — “A challenging spot in which to te...
Polaris Industries’ recall saga continued this month with the recall of 23,746 Indian Motorcycles because of possible fuel-leak problems that could lead to a fire. It wraps up a year of continued recalls in the off-road market that have dogged the Medina-based company’s bottom line — with the latest coming as the company makes inroads in the highly competitive motorcycle market. “This is a quality improvement [action] and not stemming from any accidents,” said Steve Menneto, president of the motorcycle division. The problem was found during an...
When the next presidential election rolls around, Minnesotans will no longer be packing into classrooms and community centers to caucus for their preferred candidate. Instead, the state will shift to a more straightforward presidential primary system — a change both DFL and Republican lawmakers say should help make the process more accessible for all voters. Though it won’t get a test until the 2020 election, the new law is one of a handful of policies passed by the Legislature in 2016 that are set take effect on Jan. 1. htt...
I arrived at Standing Rock in the very last days of May, alongside some comrades, at the request of Wiyaka Eagleman, the first firekeeper at Camp of the Sacred Stones and a founding member of the Keystone XL campaign. He had put out a call to folks in Indian Country for support, and I answered. Over the months, I have worked on the security and media teams and always had my camera. These images show some of the defining moments of the past seven months—some that made it to mainstream media coverage and others unseen until now. Among the e...
RAPID CITY –– The Indian Child Welfare Acts was passed by the United States Congress in 1978. The Act is a federal law: “That seeks to keep American Indian children with American Indian/Alaska Native families. Congress passed ICWA in 1978 in response to the alarmingly high number of Indian children being removed from their homes by both public and private agencies. The intent of Congress under ICWA was to “protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families” (25 U.S.C. § 1902)....
The Ramapough Lunaape tribe in New Jersey is preparing for battle and invoking the spirit of the successful struggles at North Dakota as they oppose another potentially dangerous oil pipeline in their backyard. The 178-mile Pilgrim pipeline would pump up to 200,00 barrels of Bakken crude oil – highly flammable and toxic to the environment – daily as it travels through Albany, New York to the Bayway Refinery in Linden, New Jersey. This means crossing through environmentally-sensitive areas and aquifers in over 30 New Jersey municipalities. htt...

GREAT FALLS - Nearly 2,000 residents on the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation will remain under a boil order for another two weeks until water service is restored. Tribal officials say several broken pipes last week caused running water to be cut off to about 500 homes on the reservation. Nearly half of the residents are affected on the Reservation, which lies 40 miles south of the Canadian border in Hill and Chouteau counties. http://www.kxlh.com/story/34150510/boil-order-in-effect-for-some-residents-on-the-rocky-boys-indian-r...

U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says that an FBI investigation into the Tuesday shooting in Kyle is ongoing. Authorities didn't immediately identify those involved.

OROVILLE, Calif. - Salmon is a staple of the tribal community and Thursday, 10,000 pounds of it was given away for free at the Enterprise Rancheria in Oroville. Every year, the Estom Yumeka Maidu tribe has helped Oroville Gleaners harvest the salmon, then the Oroville Gleaners would distribute it to the tribal members. But this year, the Gleaners organization closed, so the tribal members decided to carry on the tradition themselves. Rather than only distributing it to tribal members, they decided to it should be free to the public....

Whitebird Limpy was charged with deliberate homicide in mid-December, according to tribal prosecutor Calvin Wilson.

It turns out that Donald Trump and Bill Gates have an important shared interest. And it bodes very well for the prospects for success in the new administration. After their hour-long meeting at Trump Tower last week, Mr. Gates told reporters gathered in the lobby that the two “had a good conversation about innovation, how it can help in health, education …” Media stories have focused mostly on the atmospherics: a couple of billionaires who’d never met before, getting to know each other for the first time just a few short blocks from 30 Rock in...
KINGSTON - When confirmation hearings for Betsy DeVos begin next month, mid-Hudson residents like Billy Easton of the Alliance for Quality Education will be protesting President-elect Donald Trump's controverial pick for education secretary. On Wednesday, Easton called DeVos a "huge threat to public education." "She could take funding out of Title I, which is money for poor kids, and put it into a voucher system," Easton said. "Her policies as a privatizer in Michigan have been a disaster. Her only qualification is as a political donor."...
At first glance, food policy seems to be an afterthought in the Trump administration. The campaign saw few debates about food or farming. And the president-elect hasn't yet nominated someone to head the Department of Agriculture or the Food and Drug Administration. But Donald Trump's lack of attention won't make future food battles any less cutthroat. Plenty of people in Washington, including powerful factions within the Republican majority in Congress, are hoping to change a wide variety of food-related policies, and believe that the new...
The Philadelphia School District has spent more than $2 million to defend itself in lawsuits resulting from a $7.5 million no-bid contract for school surveillance cameras. The amount covers district payments to outside lawyers in connection with four suits and brings the total cost of the fallout from the contract, including damages, to nearly $6.4 million. The suits were filed after the Inquirer reported in November 2010 that Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman had pushed aside a Bucks County company that had begun preliminary work on the...
School districts nationwide need a lesson in how to woo top talent, according to a new report that reveals how the field's approach to hiring teachers lags way behind the modern practices of other professions. The report from the Center for American Progress, a liberal-leaning think tank, looked at 200 public school districts nationwide and where they go wrong. The findings are especially relevant now in light of the teacher shortages that many school districts are suffering. Here are the highlights: School districts' hiring is "hyperlocal,...

Candice Egan is suing the district, former Superintendent Valeria Silva and Principal Carlondrea Hines in federal court, alleging that they neglected to prevent the attack and that they violated her right to free speech and due process. “[St. Paul Public Schools] could have and should have prevented Plaintiff’s injuries by properly supervising its premises and stu...
