SANTA FE, N.M. - The U.S. Department of the Interior is set to hold its concluding public discussion on the modifications to the regulations of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. This Act safeguards both the genuineness and marketability of items that are labeled as Indian-made.

The revisions aim to incorporate more products under the banner of Indian Products, determine the entities allowed to manufacture...
New research reveals that dams have inundated over a million acres of tribal lands, an expanse surpassing the size of Rhode Island. This adds to the long history of land confiscation and enforced relocation of Indigenous communities by settler colonials and the US government. Indigenous peoples have historically regarded land as the cornerstone of their culture, governance, and wealth. Simultaneously, land usurpation has been systematically employed to fragment and weaken Indigenous societies by denying them access to clean water, customary...

Georgia prosecutors have allegedly secured text messages tying a breach of voting machines to associates of Donald Trump’s team, as a grand jury gets ready to review evidence regarding the ex-president’s efforts to contest the 2020 election outcomes in Georgia. This state-led inquiry, distinct from a federal investigation and indictment accusing Mr. Trump of three criminal conspiracies and obstruction related to 2020 election interference, seems to associate Trump-connected lawyers and agents with a voting machine intrusion in Coffee Cou...
Continued from last week. Phillip Deer sat in a straight-backed chair, with a red blanket folded on his lap.

There were, Oren Lyons, from the Iroquois Confederacy; Juan Condori, Aymara from Bolivia; Jose Mendoza, Guaimi from Panama; Russell Means, Lakota...

VANCOUVER, B.C. - Residents followed advice to leave the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories as a wildfire approached the city of 20,000. On Friday, firefighters confronted an expanding blaze that ignited homes in a British Columbia city. In Yellowknife, thousands journeyed several kilometers (miles) to reach safety. Authorities assisted drivers navigating through fire-affected areas, while others queued extensively for emergency flights amidst the most severe fire season Canada has ever experienced. Overnight flights were flown by a...
On Friday, a federal appeals court ordered a new sentence for a North Carolina man, James Little, who pleaded guilty to a petty offense in the Capitol riot. This judgment might influence numerous low-level cases from the Jan. 6, 2021 events. The appeals court in Washington pointed out that Little was sentenced inappropriately. He entered the Capitol but didn’t partake in any destructive actions or violence. In 2021, he pleaded guilty to a charge that carries up to six months behind bars. Last year, he was sentenced to 60 days in prison f...

A letter has been drafted by lawmakers and directed to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emphasizing the importance of liaising with Tribal Nations while finalizing their new policy concerning the at-home disposal of prescription opioids. Previously in April, the FDA, in collaboration with the United States Postal Service (USPS), rolled out a policy. This mandates opioid manufacturers supplying to pharmacies to enclose prepaid envelopes, allowing patients to mail back any unused prescription pills. This strategy is aimed at...
KANSAS - The police chief responsible for the controversial raid on a Kansas newspaper office informed a judge that a journalist from that office retrieved a restaurant owner’s driving details from a state database.

In previously undisclosed sworn statements, Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody noted that the Kansas Depar...

By Isaac White I am trying something different this week. You can’t tell but I’ve basically been writing backwards this week. I’m hoping that if I do it this way, I won’t miss many of the items I want to get to this week. And I don’t have anyone that praised me this week, so I can’t really brag about anything. But I do think this is going to help me. It will help you in the process because I can share more of my incredible musings on all things entertainment-related. Let’s start off with a classic movie. In other words, black and white. I’ve p...
The Biden administration has recently faced scrutiny for the assistance provided to those affected by the devastating wildfires in Maui, in contrast to the extensive aid given to Ukraine. Several Republicans and right-leaning analysts raised questions about President Joe Biden’s priorities when the U.S. pledged an additional $200 million for security support to Kyiv amidst its conflict with Russia, coinciding with the day when Hawaiian fire victims were allocated $700 per household. It’s important to note that the disclosed amount isn’t the ful...
