Indian Country Today’s daily newscast
On Wednesdayβs ICT Newscast, tensions continue in South Dakota between tribes and Kristi Noem. The latest from Flandreau β banning her from its homelands. Meet the retired Ojibwe professors behind Black Bears and Blueberries Publishing. Fallout continues in New Mexico after a Native student was stopped from wearing a beaded graduation cap and eagle plume at her graduation
The Flandreau Santee Sioux Executive Council voted Tuesday to ban South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, from their lands. The vote means that all nine tribes in the state have passed votes banning Noem following a string of unwelcome comments from the governor. ICT’s Amelia Schafer has been covering the story and joins us with the latest.
James and Ernie is a DinΓ© comedy duo that has been entertaining Indigenous communities for decades. While the pair still performs together, each has taken their own path. ICT’s Shirley Sneve has this interview with James Junes.
A couple of retired professors are on a new journey with a quest for more people to read. In the pages of books, they now can find themselves and their Native families reflected. This Native-owned publishing company, Black Bears and Blueberries Publishing, showcases Native writers and artists by finding a niche in the market. ICT’s Shirley Sneve interviewed Thomas Peacock, who owns the company with his wife, Elizabeth Albert-Peacock.

Mexican cartels ' π (fact) turns out it's the last generation of our tribal people who attended the church/schools and their families and associates who happen to be white nationalist , tribal law and order have been running security for their associates on every reservation across the US and Canada ,.. their environments are a copy of each other , on the flathead the tribal membership is forced to stay on the valley floor if they don't have a state driver's license , their basically band from there land access

Those days of institutions preventing Native American nations members from displaying, wearing items representing their nations culture, including wearing them at ceremonies are ending. What was acceptable in the last century is not in this century

The tribal council doesn't want a audit for their embezzlement so they banned the governor
The tribal council is dangerous like a posse and should be charged for genocide

The biggest threat to the survival of the Indigenous tribes in the US is the Covid vaccine. It is a special kind of evil how the government was able to take advantage of the great love and respect of the American Indians for their elders.

Oh that's so heart breaking about the girl who was graduating and made her cap her own and they just had to take that away from her special moment.

Any other ethnic group could get away with wearing a cultural representation of themselves at a ceremony. They only don't want Native culture being exemplified.

Charter/Private schools make $50 billion net profits a year off of stealing Public School Tax dollars from school voucher programs. They are very slick. In AZ, they have gotten state laws relaxed so they can hire high school dropouts to teach in their schools. Most teachers at private/charter schools DO NOT HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE, plus they pay then $12 an hour, which is sleeping in the gutter wages. Sounds like they have created a narrative here that hits home with the Native populaces. I think that Noem is creating a diversion of attention away from her state highway and prison construction contracts where she is paying her million dollar donors back. What other legitimate reason would she be doing this? She wants to create chaos to draw attention away from her other million dollar give aways she is engaged in.

I am so glad that there are no drugs on any Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Any drug users would indicate outside presence of drug running provided by drug cartels operating in or around the area that prey on desperation from those seeking drugs to purchase. You should definitely teach your neighbors in Minnesota about how you accomplish drug free because every little town has meth!

If the cartels are on the reservations, then they are active. The tribal leaders should allow the governor to help, set hard feelings aside and think of the people instead of the pride.

Scholastics is a wonderful thing. I work with lots of native american familes in our local hospital. In promoting books and reading to children, our hospital already does this. However, it would be wonderful if we had books for native families from these artists . How can we get supoort for native created books for those patients i care for? Woild you be willing to donate books to our native patients?

The one thing Native tribes have to realize is that we put people in positions on tribal lands who if they faulter in anyway leave and serve another tribal nation because they know people and benefit from money we get from government. Those political parties that support them need to stop.Border situation is worrisome, even for tribes who think they are safe. Whose to say the government won't look to unpopulated Native lands to try to support homelessness and people coming across borders to try to house these border crossers..think about it!

This graduation incident is really upsetting. In a census taken regarding Native American graduates on a national average, we rank in a lower percentile. If this is the case, schools need to focus on supporting Native American who are graduating and celebrate them, not strip them of a prideful moment. Shame on the school personnel that did this. She offended so many Natives, and I was hurt to see this happen. Damn if you do, damn if you don't! Farmington is Navajo nation. What is the school thinking, plus you are in New Mexico..Natives populate this state!!

Does Noem know that all Indian tribes are a legal entitly onto their own via the Treaties? That Supreme court reaffirmed that in 2023. She does not have any special previlege or right to show up on their land and dictate. So disrespectful.

Kristi Noem is such a disgrace. She has no business coming near reservations (or dogs!)

given that republicans ALWAYS project, I am betting it is NOEM who has links with the cartel.

She should sue!! U can see other students of color wearing Hawaiian flowers and lays and Mexican shawls so why just come against her and her heritage? Lame! She needs more than an apology, she need respect and compensation that her graduation was disturbed on unfounded ground!!!!!
