1 The Oklahoma man who fatally shot his stepfather and then set him on fire, convicted. A 36-year-old man was just given a 45-year prison term for the 2018 murder of his stepfather after a family dispute. A press release from the United States claims that. According to the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma, Kevin Foster drove to Rick Swan's trailer on November 15 and fatally shot him. When Foster's stepfather was shot dead, he burned his body. According to the District Attorney's Office, the victim was discovered on the property by firefighters and deputies from the Rogers County Sheriff's Office who had been called to the scene of a fire. According to the Attorney General's Office, Foster and Swan were set to appear in court for a hearing on the same day as the victim's death, and subsequent inquiry revealed that Foster and his stepfather were embroiled in a heated "family conflict." The victim had previously expressed fears for his own safety on account of the family feud. At 10:36 a.m., a "deer camera" on the victim's property captured Foster inside the building. The District Attorney's Office said that the suspect was armed on the day of the incident. It was also stated that Foster had a red gas can in his possession. Foster, who pled guilty to second-degree murder in Indian County on August 30, was sentenced to 540 months in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release on Tuesday, September 6. 2 A former drug addict turned clergyman in Mississippi has admitted to killing an Alabama man earlier this year. An Alabama man was killed in 2019 after a drug addict turned minister, age 37, allegedly confessed to the murder during a fight. According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, on Sunday, March 10, 2019, Roger Taylor of Sulligent, Alabama, went missing, and his disappearance became an active case out of Mississippi and Lamar County, Alabama. Reports say that two days later, Taylor's car turned up in Monroe County. Sheriff's officials reported that on Tuesday, August 30, James Crisp stepped into their office and confessed to killing Taylor "after a physical confrontation and disposing of his body in the area of Blair Cemetery Rd." This was several years after Taylor disappeared. Authorities said Crisp informed them he "become a believer in Jesus Christ" after the incident. WCBI-TV reports that Crisp is now living at "God's House of Hope," a Christian discipleship program. According to WCBI, the recovering addict also won back custody of his two kids. The Sheriff's Office claimed that Crisp confessed in order to "re-gain his spiritual freedom" and "bring closure to this matter for the sake of himself and the Taylor family." According to reports, Crisp has been taken into custody and charged with manslaughter. Despite posting $150,000 bond, he is still being held in the Monroe County Jail. Investigators for MCSO will look at this new evidence and determine if there should be any additional charges or new suspects, the Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "We are glad for Mr. Crisp to get this off his chest so that he might be able to continue to do ministry wherever the Lord has planned for him," the statement read. As of yet, no trace of Taylor's body has been located, and the search continues. 3 Michigan authorities have arrested a 14-year-old boy on murder charges in connection with the disappearance of his 10-year-old stepsister. Na'Mylah Turner-Moore, 10, was reported missing at 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday, August 30 on MLive.com. since she was spotted in the vicinity of the 800 block of South 12th Street but not at her stepfather's house. The stepfather of Na'Mylah reportedly contacted her real father, who in turn contacted the police in Saginaw. Officers reportedly located the body of a young girl in a vacant yard near the residence later that day. Jameion Peterson, Na'Mylah's stepbrother, was arrested and charged as an adult with open murder. He is just 14 years old. On August 31, a criminal complaint and a warrant were filed against him, according to records from the Saginaw County Court. Melonzine Turner, Na'Mylah's mother, told MLive.com that her daughter was the eldest of five children and enjoyed looking after them. According to Turner, "she just was lovable; she was happy, smiley-faced; she had personality; she had so many friends; everybody wanted to be around her; she had so many." In light of Turner's Crohn's condition, the little girl apparently dreamed of one day being a physician. Turner recalled how often Na'Mylah reassured her that she will take care of her as a doctor one day. WNEM-TV states that several of Na'Mylah's friends and community members have organized a memorial and fundraiser for her. Saginaw Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Damont Roberts released a statement saying, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. We will miss Na'mylah very much." Na'mylah Turner-Moore was a fourth grader who was well-liked by her peers and a leader at Stone School, known for organizing recess activities during lunch and recess. She enjoyed Art class and spending time with her friends. If you like TRUE CRIME TODAY - Be sure to search and subscribe wherever you download podcasts!

We start the discussion by introducing the topic and issues of outsiders living in and around Indian County while enjoining in some of our cultural practicers. This brief discussion leads us in to an in depth conversation about original style powwow singing. In this discussion we take the time to provide some auditory examples of singing styes through a few different eras while pointing our nuanced differences. These examples provide a backdrop to further discussions on rules imposed by Tribal nations for their modern contest powwows. The concept of sovereignty and the importance of the witness are discussed.

Many years ago, when I was a Jesuit Volunteer in Montana, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit several reservations and learn about Native culture and traditions from some of the local tribal members. After a year in Great Falls, I went to work on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in southeastern Montana.  The years there were a mixed blessing. Working with Native children who were victims of child abuse and neglect was not easy and I struggled to find my place amongst a people who have been historically violated by people who look like me.Still, I left those years with a profound reverence for the traditions and culture of the Native people. For their connection to their elders, to the generations that have come before. Theirs is a wisdom we would be wise to pay attention to, and It is with that intention I am thrilled to introduce you to Rose Hammock, a caring, compassionate and wise young member of the Pomo, Wailacki and Maidu tribes.We recorded this interview on May 5, the day of remembrance for missing and murdered Indigenous Women, a profound  historical trauma that continues to plague the Native people. Rose shares several resources to learn more about this issue, from MMIWUSA, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and the Sovereign Bodies Institute to the UIHI, The Urban Indian Health Initiative.Despite Rose's young age, she's only 26, she has already made a lasting mark on her community.  We talk about holding space, for welcoming voices and choosing the healing way. I can think of no better way to welcome her then to allow her to introduce herself to you.chiin tha ‘eh. (how are you?) My name is Rose Hammock. I am Pomo, Wailacki, and Maidu. My family comes from the Round Valley Indian Tribes and the Big Valley Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians. I also carry Indigenous roots from parts of Mexico and Nicaragua, from my mother. I am a recent graduate from the Santa Rosa Junior College. I have two Associates of Arts degrees; one being in Early Childhood Education and the other in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I serve many roles within my community, working with many groups and organizations. Some of those groups and organizations include: Pomo Project of Sonoma County, Big Picture Learning Native American Initiative, Redbud Resource Group, California Rural Indian Health Board, and California Indian Museum and Cultural Center. As a traditional dancer, I travel up and down California sharing songs, dance, and prayer. I have been a traditional dancer for the past thirteen years of my life. Through traditional dance, I have had the honor of learning many things from my elders. I have had the honor of learning how to basket weave, bead, sew, and learn about plants. With what I have learned, it's my turn to pass on the knowledge to the next generation. My hopes are that our young people will carry this on to their future generations. A majority of my work in the community is a reflection of the way I grew up. My community has always picked me up when I needed it. When working in “Indian County”, you treat all of your people like family. I have a lot of people in my community who are my aunties, uncles, and grandmas. Working in my community has shown me love, patience, motivation, and compassion. My community made me who I am today. yah.wii' (thank you) Rose Hammock Rose's places of work: The Redbud Resource Group Big Picture  

Today on this podcast episode, we're talking about criminal justice in Indian County. We'll hear from 3 leaders and scholars in Indian County to discuss this important topic. We're fortunate to be joined by Addie Rolnick, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Professor of Law at University of Nevada Las Vegas Law School and Faculty Director of their Indian Nations Gaming & Governance Program; Robert Miller, Professor of Law at Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and enrolled citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe, as well as the Interim Chief Justice for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Court of Appeals; Chrissi Nimmo, Deputy Attorney General for the Cherokee Nation and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

In this episode, the Tribal Research Specialist (TRS) team discuss what some may view as "secret knowledge" in Tribal Communities. In the episodes we are joined by returning guest Salisha Old Bull to provide further insight on this phenomenon. The episode span a gamut of ideas and angles where the idea of ownership of knowledge manifest. In particular, in Indigenous art, where images and designs are often transferred, borrows and appropriated under many traditional and nefarious means. Also, discussed are cultural knowledge of traditions practiced by non-Native participants and the opinions and response from Tribal Communities.

Don't toss out or put away those face masks just yet. For some, it might be time to mask back up, especially those seeking tribal government services.At least three tribes in Minnesota are requiring visitors to wear masks in tribal government buildings. The Bois Fort Band of Chippewa, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe have recently issued mask requirements. The decision is mostly related to the highly contagious delta variant that accounts for roughly 85 percent of COVID-19 cases in the state, according to health officials. The latest data shows Minnesota is averaging nearly 600 new cases per day. Mille Lacs tribal officials explained this week in a short video aimed at tribal citizens on why the tribe brought back mask requirements. Nicole Anderson, commissioner of Health and Human Services and Maria Costello, assistant commissioner of Administration, explained. The two were leading by example. In the video, they sat at a table inside and both were wearing masks. Anderson: We do not enter into these decisions lightly and we consider the safety and health of all of our community members, employees and guests when we make these decisions. The latest information we received on the delta variant is that it is more contagious and it is spreading quicker than the original strain. Costello: So I just want to say, be safe, mask back up, and make sure you are social distancing, good handwashing, sanitize, and if you are sick, please stay home. 10 secondsAnderson cited the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its updated advice that fully vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in areas with high transmission.Be sure to contact your tribe for mask guidance if you plan to visit tribal government departments. In other news.Need another incentive to get vaccinated? How about money in your pockets?Minnesota has taken the call from President Joe Biden and joined other states to hand out money for shots.Anyone 12 years of age and older who receive their first dose of the vaccine through Sunday, Aug. 15, are eligible to receive a $100 Visa gift card.To register, visit the state website at mn.gov/covid19. Youth ages 12 to 17 need a parent to register.The CDC and the state health department recommend anyone not fully vaccinated, including children ages 2 and older, to wear face masks in public indoor settings, around other people and outdoors when social distance cannot be maintained. For the latest coronavirus information, visit the state covid-19 response website and your tribe's website. The CDC website is also helpful.For Minnesota Native News health report, I'm Dalton Walker

Marci McLean and Cora Neumann are joining me for another episode of my ongoing series called New West Dispatches. In each New West Dispatch, I break from the normal Mountain & Prairie format of discussing a guest’s personal experiences, influences, and life story, and instead we spend the hour diving deep into a specific, timely issue that is creating challenges in the American West. The goal of these episodes is to offer a clear-eyed examination of a pressing issue, then to highlight the people and ideas that are helping to solve these sometimes-overwhelming problems. These episodes are meant to educate and provide actionable information, while also offering hope and optimism in the face of challenges. - In today’s New West Dispatch, we’ll be discussing COVID’s impact on Native communities in Montana and throughout the American West. Marci and Cora are uniquely qualified to discuss this topic, as they have been on the front lines of Montana’s public health response to the devastating effects of COVID across tribal lands. Marci grew up on the Blackfeet Nation and currently serves as Executive Director of Montana Native Vote, an organization with the mission of building leaders in Montana’s Indian County. Cora Nuemann is a PhD-level public health expert and the founder of We Are Montana, an organization that supports public health leadership across rural and Native Montana. In early 2020, when it became clear that COVID was a true threat, Marci and Cora teamed up and took action, offering much-needed education, funding, and support to combat the virus in Native communities. - We had an enlightening and educational conversation, and I am so grateful to Marci and Cora for joining me to share their experiences and wisdom. We start out by discussing both Marci and Cora’s backgrounds, and how they decided to take action as the pandemic descended on Montana. We talk about the specific factors that made this pandemic so devastating to Native communities and why Native Americans suffered the highest death rates of any community in the United States. We discuss the Native response to the pandemic-- what worked, what didn’t, and some specific success stories.  And we also talk about vaccine rollout and how Marci and Cora see the next year playing out. Finally, they both offer up some excellent book recommendations on Native American history, culture, and current events. - The notes for this episode are even more robust than usual, so be sure to check them out for links to articles, resources, and further information on everything we cover. Thanks again to Marci and Cora for their hard work and focus on this important issue.

With the new incoming Administration, there is new hope that Indian Country needs will be properly addressed. The new Administration has pledged a commitment to Indian Country, and knowing and understanding the pledges is important to Tribal leaders and advocates as this Administration's agenda rolls out. It will be important to hold the Administration to its promises, and in doing so, Tribal sovereignty will be strengthened. This episode will summarize the Biden-Harris Administration promises to Indian County.

So, your federal government, led by a bafoon, keeps telling American People "We do more testing than anyone else" and that PPE supplies are "Very Strong". if that is the case, why is the VP now saying to healthcare workers to "Preserve and reuse" Personal Protective Equipment?Also in this episode...Another Supreme Court win for Indian County and True Genius Native Businesses.

EPISODE SUMMARY: We do a follow up from an article published in "The Atlantic" by author Garret Epps that asks the question "Who Owns Oklahoma?" In a legal case now being heard by the Supreme Court of the United States, The location of the murder of a Muscogee Creek man by another Muscogee Creek citizen is calling into question the very definition of Oklahoma vs "What is Indian County"?

The term “Indian Country” evokes multiple themes. Encompassing legal, geographic, and ideological dimensions, “Indian Country” is commonly understood to be a space outside of or surrounded by the boundaries of the United States. It's also been used for a pan-tribal, continental consciousness, found, for example, in the popular periodical Indian Country Today. For non-Natives familiar with the term, however, it's safe to say what the term does not connote: cities. Indian County is “out there” somewhere, a dusty reservation remote from the bustle of modern life. Historian Nicolas G. Rosenthal argues that this concept is not only problematic but wholly inaccurate. In Reimagining Indian Country: Native American Migration and Identity in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles University of North Carolina Press, 2012), Rosenthal illuminates the forces that drew or forced Indian people to Los Angeles, the “urban Indian capital of the United States,” and the process of forming individual and communal identities away from tribal homelands. Los Angeles typifies a larger trend. In 1940, the census counted 27,000 Indians living in cities, about 8% of the total Native population. By 1950, it spiked to 45%. In 1980, 53%. While the majority of Rosenthal's compelling narrative focuses on city of angels, he also reckons with these wider trends, reconceptualizing “Indian Country” to reflect a complicated and diverse reality. His intervention is invaluable.

Indian County is “out there” somewhere, a dusty reservation remote from the bustle of modern life. Historian Nicolas G. Rosenthal argues that this concept is not only problematic but wholly inaccurate. In Reimagining Indian Country: Native American Migration and Identity in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles University of North Carolina Press, 2012), Rosenthal illuminates the forces that drew or forced Indian people to Los Angeles, the “urban Indian capital of the United States,” and the process of forming individual and communal identities away from tribal homelands. Los Angeles typifies a larger trend. In 1940, the census counted 27,000 Indians living in cities, about 8% of the total Native population. By 1950, it spiked to 45%. In 1980, 53%. While the majority of Rosenthal’s compelling narrative focuses on city of angels, he also reckons with these wider trends, reconceptualizing “Indian Country” to reflect a complicated and diverse reality.
