By Tik Root. Donald J. Trump will once again be president of the United States. The Associated Press called the race for Trump early Wednesday morning, ending one of the costliest and most turbulent campaign cycles in the nation’s history. The results promise to upend U.S. climate policy: In addition to returning a climate denier to the White House, voters also gave Republicans control of the Senate, laying the groundwork for attacks on everything from electric vehicles to clean energy funding and bolstering support for the fossil fuel i...

If you are a boarding school survivor or a descendant, resources are available from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition at boardingschoolhealing.org. FORT SIMCOE HISTORICAL STATE PARK – Sharp barks occasionally broke the stillness of an October morning.

Continued from last week. The Story of Niagara As far back as people can remember, the waters of the Niagara have been falling into the deep gorge, its thundering stream swallowing up everything it manages to catch hold of. And yet the Indians know Niagara – who hear the rumble of the waterfall on their long voyages, by the fire, as well as in their sleep – are not frightened of the Niagara. That is so because they know this story. There once lived a beautiful maiden in an Indian camp. Many good, brave, and daring young men tried to woo her...
By Frida Garza. Staff Writer – The Grist. For farmers, planning for spring begins in the fall. That’s when seeds go into the ground. Later, if all goes well, roots begin to grow, followed by shoots and leaves. But that only happens when there’s enough water. “Unfortunately, there’s a lot of seeds that get sown in the fall, and without rain, they’re not going to germinate,” said Amy Hepworth, owner of Hepworth Farms, a seventh-generation family farm located just off the Hudson River in New York state. In the Hudson Valley, a corridor know...
By: Cristen Hemingway Jaynes. Extreme weather is causing an increase in undocumented migration between the United States and Mexico, suggesting more migrants could put their lives at risk crossing the border as the climate crisis causes droughts, severe storms and other adversities, a new study has found. The researchers discovered that people from Mexico’s agricultural regions were more likely to travel across the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in the wake of droughts. And when extreme weather conditions continued, they were not as likely to r...
By Amelia Schafer. ICT + Rapid City Journal. Besides promising federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, Trump’s campaign has not established a solid plan for Indian Country. However, Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page book, does have some rough ideas for Indian Country. While the president-elect has publicly distanced himself from the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation’s highly controversial Project 2025, the project was written by many of his former staffers as a road map for Trump. A majority of the plan rel...
By Patrick McCarthy. Standing at the bank of a clear pool, Hazel Powless and Alma Lowry stared at the white waters falling from fifty feet above them. The waterfall, one of the Fellows Falls of the Tully Valley, feeds the main tributary to Onondaga Creek. Relentlessly flowing, the water rushed over rocks and moss. For the first time since the Onondaga Nation reacquired 1,000 acres of land, a group of four — two lawyers and two members of the Nation — trekked to the waterfall. The winding walk to the bank followed portions of a som...

By Doug Kanentiio George. He based his campaign on a formula that has proven to be very effective in past elections. He was able to convince millions of Americans to vote against their own self interests. He will affect a massive shift in economic wealth (behavioral economics) which will leave the majority of his supporters further into poverty. He did this by the following: -fear and racial bias. He hammered home the threat of millions of brown skinned aliens invading the US to murder, rape and pillage-while stealing American jobs. This was...
