People of the Iroquois Confederacy will always remember that house – not merely because Clinton Rickard had done many good things for his people in his long lifetime, but because at his invitation, another fine man, ahomeless exile, lived out his last days there.

By Emily Benson, HCN. Here in the Western U.S., smoke season has become a summer ritual.

Several staff members from High Country had this to o...

By Isaac White WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Not to be overly dramatic, but I think giving you fair warning this week is the right thing to do. I watched a movie recently that has stuck in my head. The film is quite intriguing. My wife and I enjoyed it very, very much. The issue is that it’s quite a sensational film. It’s also quite gory and has many adult themes I’ll say. And while I am going to talk about my general thoughts on the film, I will not go into painstakingly graphic detail. When I speak about my general thoughts on the movie, it wi...
