Continued from last week. North and South – the American contingent. The affluence of the North: the poverty of the South. The “under-development” of the South; the “over-development” of the North. And what does it all represent to Indian people? Another Question: What does colonialism mean? Colonialism is the process by which we are systematically confused. Colonialism-from the word colony: to be controlled from afar. Confusion-an agent of control. The confusion takes many shapes and forms (gimmicks) that overlap creating layers, many, man...

MINNNESOTA - The landscapes of a Minnesota state park, filled with golden prairies and winding rivers, also conceal the secret graves of Dakota individuals who perished when the United States breached treaties with Native Americans over a hundred years ago. Presently, their descendants are reclaiming this land. In an uncommon gesture, the state is returning the park, laden with a troubled past, to a Dakota tribe, in an effort to redress the incidents that sparked a war and resulted in the most extensive mass execution in the history of the US....
The number of boarding schools in the United States that historically aimed to “civilize” Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians has been documented in a newly released interactive map by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition.

By Isaac White Summer is the season for barbecues, beach days, and live music. As the days grow shorter and the evenings cooler, it is customary to bid adieu to the sunny season with a bang. This year, the Brass Horse hosted the 'End of Summer Bash,' an event put together by Cannabis Island, that undoubtedly left a mark on the memories of those who attended. The event, held last Friday, was attended by a large crowd, clearly showing the anticipation and excitement surrounding it. The atmosphere...
By Isaac White I might not be as wordy this week as you’re used to. I’ve said that before but I’m a bit low on brain functionality right now. Maybe it’ll clear itself up as I go along. That being said, I’m not promising anything groundbreaking this week. Well that’s not true, my words are always innovative and insightful. Ok now I’m starting to feel like myself again. I want to deliver a message to one particular reader. I am totally independent thinking and my wife does NOT tell me what to write about. I’m not sure where people get this...

The officials passed Senate Bill 299 this year to extend the adv...

New Mexico’s Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, is seeking control over the state’s languid advancement in the reformation of its public education system. This move is in an effort to guarantee that all children receive the adequate education mandated by a significant court decision in 2018. In this lawsuit, the judge concluded that the state failed to uphold the educational rights of Native American, English language-learners, disabled, and economically disadvantaged children. “There is frustration with the lack of progress over the past five y...

The passing of Troy was a sad time and a terrible loss for many people. I want to thank those who were there to help the family and me send Troy on his journey. I want to thank Hospice of the North Country, Canton/Potsdam Cancer Center, Tri-Lakes Medical Center, UVM and Donaldsons Funeral Home for taking such great care of Troy. I definitely could not have done this without the Saint Boys (Dwayne, Grid, Owen, Mikey and Stevie). You all showed the true meaning of love and family. Your support...
