  • When Enrollment Is NOT Enough

    Mar 30, 2023

I had even offered up my own blood. I heard nothing. My great-grandfather had been someone your forefathers had revered so much, that he had been offered land and upon which, he had then resided. I had been told that he had helped your ancestors out a lot. However, that did NOT make him Native American. Consequently, that makes me non-Native, though I am enrolled with your Tr...

  • Reactions Mixed on US-Canada Deal Aimed at Closing Roxham Road Border Crossing

    Mar 30, 2023

    By Cara Chapman. The ad hoc arrangement that made a rural road in Clinton County an internationally known pathway for asylum in Canada is no more.

But on Friday the U.S. and Canada announced an agreement that will allow both countries to turn away asylum seekers at their shared border.
