The June 8, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report provides an assessment of agricultural commodities, upcoming USDA reports, and global weather impacts. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net highlights that a recent screwworm outbreak is causing market volatility, though long-term impacts depend on the disease's spread and its effect on available cattle supplies. Kimmel also anticipates minor adjustments in the upcoming WASDE report, projecting slight decreases in new crop corn ending stocks due to old crop demand, with soybeans and wheat remaining largely unchanged. Frayne Olson from North Dakota State University corroborates this subdued expectation for the June WASDE, noting the USDA is unlikely to revise export forecasts without concrete details from recent US-China trade agreements. Olson emphasizes the significance of the June 30th grain stocks report for tracking feed consumption and explains that recent market fluctuations are heavily influenced by index fund investors shifting capital between energy, agriculture, and the stabilizing stock market. Consequently, Olson advises producers to establish predetermined target prices rather than attempting to time volatile market swings. Finally, Everstream Analytics meteorologist Mark Russo reports that beneficial rainfall and above-average temperatures are accelerating crop development across the US Corn Belt, presenting no immediate yield threats. However, Russo warns that a returning, near-record heatwave combined with dry conditions in Western Europe poses a significant risk to their summer crops.- Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarkets.net- Commodity Markets Discussion with Frayne Olson, NDSU Extension- Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream.ai ★ Support this podcast ★

Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder sit down with Stephanie Parks — Director of Campus Ministry at Dowling Catholic High School in Des Moines and co-author of Michelle Duppong: Hope in the Depths of Suffering (written with Patti Armstrong) — to tell the story of a modern woman whose life and death are captivating the Church. Who Was Michelle Duppong? Born in 1984 and raised on a North Dakota farm, Michelle was a faithful Catholic who experienced a powerful conversion through FOCUS and Eagle Eye Ministries summer camp. After graduating from North Dakota State University in Fargo, she served six years as a FOCUS missionary — opening campuses and discipling students — before joining the Diocese of Bismarck for adult faith formation. In late 2014, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given two months to live. She lived a full year more, transforming everyone around her — hospital staff, nurses, cafeteria workers — through her contagious joy. She died on Christmas Day, 2015, surrounded by her family. Her cause for canonization was officially opened in 2022, and she now holds the title Servant of God. The Book Stephanie co-authored Michelle Duppong: Hope in the Depths of Suffering with Patti Armstrong, whose connection to Michelle's family in Bismarck perfectly complemented Stephanie's perspective from inside FOCUS. The book covers Michelle's life, her heroic suffering, and the signs of hope her family experienced after her death — including a beautiful account from her sister Lisa. How to Support Michelle's Cause Prayer cards are available. If you experience a grace through Michelle's intercession, report it to the Guild overseeing her cause. Also in This Episode — Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 2026 June 11th: The USCCB will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — a first in American history. Enthronement resources: WelcomeHisHeart.com Film: Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End — screening in Des Moines, Waukee, and Waterloo on June 9, 11, and 12. For family consecration guidance, revisit the Catholic Women Now episode with Emily Jaminet from January.

Recent studies by North Dakota State University revealed that U.S. tariffs and resulting retaliatory actions are driving significant economic losses for American agriculture, heavily impacting exports and raising farming costs. NAFB News ServiceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we had the exciting opportunity to travel to Anchorage, Alaska, to participate in the Fifth Annual Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference. The conference convenes researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors to discuss the future of energy development, infrastructure, technology, and resource leadership across Alaska and the broader global energy landscape. We had the honor of moderating a discussion featuring Governor Mike Dunleavy and Chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. Given Alaska's strategic importance across energy, critical minerals, infrastructure, and geopolitics, it was a fascinating and timely discussion. In our conversation, Governor Dunleavy emphasizes the dramatically improved partnership between the federal government and the State of Alaska under the current Administration, contrasting it with prior years when Alaska faced significant federal restrictions on development. Drawing on their experiences leading major energy-producing states, Governor Dunleavy and Secretary Burgum reflect on the operational, economic, and political realities of energy development and infrastructure investment. They walk us through renewed lease sale activity, rising investor interest in Alaska, and the broader role Alaska could play in supporting U.S. energy dominance and Western Hemisphere energy security. We explore the increasing importance of affordable, reliable, and secure energy in attracting manufacturing, AI infrastructure, and industrial investment, as well as the rapidly growing electricity demand tied to data centers and advanced technologies. Secretary Burgum provides an overview of the Administration's efforts to accelerate permitting reform and reduce regulatory bottlenecks, including examples of projects receiving approvals in weeks rather than years. We touch on domestic mining and critical mineral development, LNG exports, the role of nuclear, hydro, geothermal, and natural gas in future energy systems, and the Administration's broader push to accelerate infrastructure and resource development across the United States. We cover the transformational potential of the Alaska LNG project, the growing energy needs of U.S. allies across Asia, the importance of codifying regulatory and permitting reforms for long-term investment certainty, and why Governor Dunleavy and Secretary Burgum both believe Alaska is entering a new “golden age” of development and opportunity. Thank you to Governor Dunleavy for inviting us and to Secretary Burgum for joining us for a thoughtful discussion on the future of Alaska, energy, and American economic development and energy security. About Governor Mike DunleavyGovernor Mike Dunleavy arrived in Alaska in 1983 as a young man looking for opportunity, and he found it. His first job was working in a logging camp in Southeast Alaska. Later on, Governor Dunleavy earned his teacher's certificate, and then a Master of Education degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He spent nearly two decades in northwest Arctic communities working as a teacher, principal, and superintendent. Governor Dunleavy and his family moved to Wasilla in 2004, where he owned an educational consulting firm and worked on several statewide education projects. Dunleavy served on the Mat-Su Borough School Board, with two years as Board President, and then as a state senator for five years. Dunleavy was first elected Governor in 2018 and then again in 2022. Governor Dunleavy has kept the health of the economy and jobs at the forefront of his Administration's policy setting initiatives and has been a true champion for the Alaskan business community. Governor Dunleavy's wife Rose is from the Kobuk River Valley community of Noorvik. Together, they have three children who were raised in both rural and urban Alaska. Governor Dunleavy is focused on moving Alaska forward and believes that our greatest years are yet to come if we work together to maximize our potential. About Secretary Doug BurgumDoug Burgum is the 55th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Raised in Arthur, North Dakota, Burgum worked as a chimney sweep to help pay his way through North Dakota State University before earning an MBA from Stanford University. In 1983, Doug literally “bet the farm” to provide seed capital for a software startup called Great Plains. Doug led Great Plains through a successful IPO and grew the company to over 2,000 employees before its acquisition by Microsoft. Burgum remained with Microsoft for six years as the Senior Vice President of Business Solutions. Doug later co-founded Arthur Ventures and served as chairman for international software companies including Atlassian, SuccessFactors, and as a board member for Avalara. In 2016, Burgum was elected to serve as North Dakota's 33rd Governor. In 2020, he was re-elected in a landslide. Under his leadership, North Dakota passed the largest tax cut in state history and dramatically reduced red tape. As a testament to Burgum's leadership, Forbes named him “America's Best Entrepreneurial Governor.” During his tenure, North Dakota experienced the highest growth in real GDP and had the lowest unemployment rate in the country. Burgum has three adult children. He is married to Kathryn Burgum, a nationally recognized advocate for addiction recovery. We hope you enjoy today's discussion as much as we did. This certainly won't be our last trip to Alaska. Our best to you all!

Will marigolds protect your plants from pests? Can you tell whether a pepper is male or female? Does insecticide made from chewing tobacco work? In this episode, Don and John are joined by Esther McGinnis, an associate professor of plant science at North Dakota State University, to help set the record straight on some gardening myths that may have come across your social media feed.

With Scott Hennen still exploring Norway, guest host Greg Steeman wraps up his week in the driver's seat with a deep dive into the institutions that define North Dakota. The episode kicks off with an exclusive interview with the incoming President of North Dakota State University, Marshall Stewart, who shares his vision for a "modernized" land-grant mission and the university's high-stakes move to the Mountain West Conference. The conversation then shifts to the state's financial engine, exploring how the Retirement Investment Office and the North Dakota Growth Fund are turning oil wealth into long-term economic stability. Finally, the show tackles the upcoming June primary with Secretary of State Michael Howe, breaking down critical changes to mail-in voting laws and the newly approved "Measure 3" regarding school lunch funding. Standout Moments & Timestamps 00:01:45 – A Land-Grant Legacy: NDSU's New President Marshall Stewart makes his debut ahead of his May 26th start date. He discusses his roots in rural North Carolina and why he believes NDSU's student body is actually all 800,000+ residents of North Dakota. 00:07:11 – The Athletics "Elephant in the Room" President Stewart addresses the angst surrounding NDSU's move to the Mountain West. He frames it as a "championship thought process" necessary to keep the university relevant on a national stage while utilizing private donor dollars. 00:13:35 – Turning Oil into Infinite Earnings Jody Smith of the Retirement Investment Office reveals staggering growth: the Legacy Fund has surged from $6 billion in 2017 to over $14 billion today, generating $2.5 billion in investment earnings this past year alone. 00:17:50 – Betting on Local Founders Cody First from 50 South Capital explains how the North Dakota Growth Fund has invested $125 million into 25 local companies, supporting 1,500 jobs and generating nearly a billion dollars in revenue in 2025. 00:22:15 – The "Rainy Day" Myth A clarification on state finances: Jody Smith explains why the Legacy Fund isn't a "rainy day fund" (that's the Budget Stabilization Fund) and breaks down the rolling five-year average used to provide property tax relief. 00:33:45 – The Childhood Care Crisis Deputy Director Emily O'Brien discusses the $199 million Rural Health Transformation Grant, highlighting innovative plans to put daycares inside critical access hospitals to solve rural workforce shortages. 00:36:20 – 26 Days Until the Polls Open Secretary of State Michael Howe delivers a masterclass on North Dakota election integrity, emphasizing that while voter turnout…

In dieser Episode geht es um das Grusswort vom Kulturreferenten der Stadt Regensburg Wolfgang Dersch, das er am 22. November 2025 vor der Preisverleihung in Regensburg gehalten hat. Anlass war nicht nur die Medaillen-Vergabe, sondern auch, dass der Deutsche Fotobuchpreis sein 50-jähriges Bestehen feierte. Ein halbes Jahrhundert, in dem sich die Art, wie wir Bilder produzieren und betrachten in zehntausenden von Fotobüchern manifestiert hat. Ein halbes Jahrhundert in dem sich die Fotografie gewandelt hat. Wolfgang Dersch wurde 1970 in Straubing geboren. Er studierte Lehramt für Realschule in Regensburg sowie Posaune und Jazzposaune am Richard-Strauss-Konservatorium in München.

In dieser Episode geht es um die Festrede von Hans-Michael Koetzle, die er am 22. November 2025 vor der Preisverleihung in Regensburg gehalten hat. Anlass war, der Deutsche Fotobuchpreis feierte sein 50-jähriges Bestehen. Ein halbes Jahrhundert, in dem sich die Art, wie wir Bilder produzieren und betrachten in zehntausenden von Fotobüchern manifestiert hat. Ein halbes Jahrhundert in dem sich die Fotografie gewandelt hat. Unter dem Titel »Zufluchtsorte im Datenmeer« wirft der Münchner Fotohistoriker und Kurator einen fundierten Blick auf die Geschichte dieser Auszeichnung. Von den Anfängen als »Kodak Fotobuchpreis« in den 1970er Jahren bis hin zum heutigen Standort in Regensburg. Koetzle setzt sich in seinen Bemerkungen kritisch mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung auseinander und stellt die Frage: Welchen Stellenwert hat das Gedruckte heute noch? Er zeichnet das Fotobuch dabei als einen analogen Ankerpunkt, der ganz ohne Strom, WLAN oder Updates auskommt. Wir schauen uns heute an, warum das Fotobuch trotz – oder gerade wegen – der digitalen Flut als »genialer Wissensspeicher« überlebt hat und warum es heute wichtiger ist denn je, handwerkliche Exzellenz auszuzeichnen. Kleine Anekdote: Laut eigenen Angaben besitzt Hans-Michael Koetzle etwa 15.000 Fotobücher. Der Großteil ist in seiner Wohnung in München.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Plates and Pancakes, we sit down with Jim Kramer, former Director of Athletic Performance at North Dakota State University, to break down a career built on consistency, culture, and championship-level development.Over 22 years at NDSU, Kramer helped power 13 conference titles, 10 FCS National Championships, and the development of 16 NFL Draft picks. But his impact goes far beyond the numbers. He dives into how great programs are sustained—through hiring from within, building real relationships, and creating a player-led culture rooted in accountability and pride.Kramer shares his approach to Olympic lifting, emphasizing the importance of mastering the pull and developing explosive hip and leg power before worrying about the catch. He explains why coaching on the floor—not just writing programs—is the true separator, and how passion and energy from a coach directly influence athlete performance.The conversation also covers in-season weight management, nutrition strategies, and how NDSU built a system that develops not just better athletes, but better people. From his roots growing up on a dairy farm to leading one of the most dominant programs in college football, Kramer's perspective is grounded in work ethic, simplicity, and doing the little things right.Now in retirement, he reflects on evolving training methods, visiting other programs, and continuing to learn the craft.This is a deep dive into what it really takes to build and sustain excellence in strength and conditioning.https://youtube.com/@platesandpancakes4593https://instagram.com/voodoo4power?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=https://voodoo4ranch.com/To possibly be a guest or support the show email Voodoo4ranch@gmail.comhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/voodoo4ranch

When asked on this episode of Plain Talk about the justification that President Donald Trump's erratic regime of tariffs is necessary to flex America's economic might and negotiate better deals, John Bitzan, director of the Challey Institute at North Dakota State University, argued that the strategy has not worked. "We haven't gotten better deals out of this," he said. He pointed out that the goal of getting better deals was only used as a justification after the tariffs were already imposed. In a standard negotiation, "you tell people upfront what you're trying to negotiate...instead of putting the tariffs in place ahead of time," he said. Bitzan stated that if you look at the roughly 20 trade deals that have been made, they "are actually less beneficial to us than what existed prior to the tariffs." Plus, it's hard to say how meaningful the supposedly beneficial parts of those deals even are. He explained that commitments from entities like the European Union or South Korea to invest in the U.S. are likely hollow because they either lack the mechanism to compel private businesses to invest, or their parliaments haven't ratified the commitments. Recently Bitzan wrote a column for the Bismarck Tribune nothing that the State of North Dakota has had to step in with a loan program through the Bank of North Dakota to try and protect farmers from the impacts of these tariffs. "It is unusual for farmers to need this kind of support based on an action that has been taken by our government," he said.  "That's the thing that I think is very disturbing about this, is that you think about if there's a drought or some kind of a natural disaster or something like that, well, yeah, then farmers are going to experience financial difficulty and we want to help them out," he continued. "But this is a situation where we're actually causing the harm ourselves to them by our policies." Also on this episode, me and guest co-host Matt Fern discuss Rep. Julie Fedorchak's use of congressional franking privileges to promote her re-election campaign, former state lawmaker Judy Estenson pursuing the Republican nomination in a legislative district she doesn't live in, and we respond to listener feedback.

What is civil asset forfeiture? It's the process through which law enforcement can "seize your property on the basis of suspicion that it's involved in a crime," Patrick Reasonover told us on this episode of Plain Talk. What's worse? The cops often get to keep the proceeds. Or, at least, their departments do. Reasonover is one of the producers of the documentary, "When Cops Become Robbers," which was recently screened by the Challey Institute at North Dakota State University. The film tells the stories of three people who had their money and property taken by law enforcement despite not having been involved in any crime. It also includes interviews with people on both sides of the issue. But the conclusion of the film is that civil asset forfeiture isn't anything like justice. "They need not arrest you or charge you with the crime," Reasonover said. "You need not be convicted for them to take and keep your property. You have to then prove the innocence of the property that it was not used to commit a crime or is the proceeds of a crime in order to get it back." In North Dakota, lawmakers have passed some reforms for civil asset forfeiture in recent legislative sessions. Police must now adhere to the "clear and convincing evidence" standard for linking seized property to a crime. There is also a conviction requirement, though it's a weak one, as it does not apply if the owner fails to contest the forfeiture in court or if the owner reaches a settlement with the state. State law also still provides a financial incentive for law enforcement to seize property by allowing them to keep the proceeds up to $200,000 per year (after which the revenues go to the state's general fund). Worst, perhaps, is that North Dakota still allows "equitable sharing" agreements with federal law enforcement, which is a handy way to do an end-run around state law. Reasonover says that's exactly how it was designed to work. "What's important to know about this equitable sharing loophole is it actually wasn't really designed as a loophole," he said. "The federal government designed this system to work exactly as it's working. They wanted to incentivize local police jurisdictions to get involved in the drug war. They wanted them to actively go out, pull over and seize money. And they wanted to incentivize them to do it." Local law enforcement still gets to keep the majority of the revenue from the seized property. "If they make it a federal seizure, which is super easy to do, then the local jurisdiction sends 20% of the money to the feds," Reasonover said. Also on this episode, me and co-host Chad Oban talk about the Afroman kerfuffle, the problem with always "backing the blue," and a conspiracy theory about the Byron Noem revelations.

Coming from a long family line of teachers, Seth has carried that passion for learning and mentorship into his own career. He joined UH in 2016 and has built an impressive body of research exploring how people and environments have shaped one another across the Pacific. Originally from the Midwest, Seth has worked throughout the continental United States, including Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota, as well as in Sāmoa, Hawai‘i, Tokelau, and New Zealand. Although his specialty is archaeology, he approaches his work as a broadly trained anthropologist who values integrating multiple subfields to better understand human history and cultural change. His research focuses on long-term human–environment relationships, using spatial, ecological, and geomorphological methods to study settlement systems and agriculture. He's particularly interested in how food production and environmental modification intersect with social and political change. Seth is also known for his commitment to teaching and community engagement. He partners with Kamehameha Schools, the National Park Service, and the National University of Sāmoa to involve students and community members in field research. In 2024, he received the College of Social Sciences Award for Excellence in Teaching. He earned his PhD in Anthropology from the University of Auckland, and his master's and bachelor's degrees from North Dakota State University, where he graduated magna cum laude. ------------------------------ Find the papers discussed in this episode: Quintus, S., Cochrane, E.

Empathy is easy to talk about and harder to practice when the pressure is high. In higher education, leaders are often navigating conflict, fatigue, and urgency, which is exactly when empathy gets misread as weakness instead of treated as a leadership competency. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Laura Parson, Associate Professor at North Dakota State University and founder of The Empathy Classroom, about building empathy as a practical skill leaders can use without surrendering standards or authority. Parson breaks empathy down into usable behaviors, including perspective-taking, emotional self-management, and question framing that reduces defensiveness. The discussion also addresses "empathy light," when leaders perform empathy for external outcomes instead of practicing it authentically, and why that approach erodes trust. This conversation is especially relevant for institutional leaders who want stronger communication, better decision follow-through, and a healthier leadership culture in environments where people are stretched thin and reactions run hot. Some of the Topics Covered What empathy is as a competency and how it differs from sympathy Why empathy does not require agreement or abandoning standards How to reduce defensiveness through better questions and language choices Self-other distinction and why absorbing others' emotions accelerates burnout Mindfulness and emotional literacy as leadership tools "Empathy lite" and how performative empathy undermines trust How leaders can develop empathy through practice, role play, and scenario rehearsal Real-World Examples Discussed Reframing accusatory "why" questions into curiosity-based questions that invite explanation The "waves" metaphor for managing constant emotions as a senior leader without burning out An executive's post-meeting reset ritual to physically "shake off" emotional residue Using breath work or box breathing after emotionally charged interactions Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leadership Model empathy visibly so others understand what it looks like in your environment. Listen, demonstrate that you heard what was said, and reinforce it through action. Treat perspective-taking as a discipline by learning to see issues through multiple stakeholder lenses.

Think a great wine grape can't survive where winters drop to minus forty? We sit down with breeder Dr. Harlene Hatterman-Valenti from North Dakota State University to unpack how a young industry, a focused research program, and some stubborn optimism produced two new cultivars built for the northern plains. From the early days of variety trials and policy hurdles to the release of Dakota Primus and Radiant, Harlene shares how hybrid genetics, gritty selection, and clever management turned a hostile climate into an advantage.We dig into the science of cold hardiness: why photoperiod sensitivity matters more than you think, how vines must read shortening days to lay down periderm before sudden freezes, and the three critical windows where cold injury strikes—fall acclimation, deep midwinter lows, and late-winter temperature whiplash. Harlene explains the growth calendar for a North Dakota vineyard with just 130 frost-free days, from delayed pruning and cautious budbreak to early-August veraison and mid-September harvests. Beyond the vineyard, we explore how the state's wine scene found its footing, why regulations evolved to support consistent supply, and how tourism now fuels growth. The conversation closes with what's next: chasing an ultra-cold-hardy red, expanding into table grapes for farmers markets, and celebrating the team effort—students, specialists, and collaborators—that made progress possible. If you're curious about cold-climate viticulture, breeding under polar vortex pressure, or how science builds regional wine identities, this one's for you.Additional information in available in these articles:Complex Plant Process Trait Evaluation Through Decomposition of Higher-order Interaction: A Case Study in Acclimation Responses of Cold-climate Hybrid Grapevine Through Bilinear and Multiway MethodsCold Climate Winegrape Cultivar Sensitivity to Sulfur in the Northern Great Plains Region of the United States‘NDMutant1': A Novel Determinate Interspecific Grapevine for Genetic and Physiological Study and Breeding ApplicationsEnjoyed the conversation?

Today's guest is a lifelong athlete whose competitive spirit carried him from the wrestling mats of small-town North Dakota to the bright lights of the UFC Octagon. Chris Tuchscherer was raised in Rugby, North Dakota, where he built his foundation in wrestling, a discipline that would shape not only his athletic career, but his approach to life. After a standout high school run, he continued competing at North Dakota State University before transferring to Minnesota State University Moorhead, where he became a two-time NCAA Division II All-American. That same relentless drive propelled him into mixed martial arts. Known to fans as “The Crowbar,” Chris became a feared heavyweight with crushing wrestling, unshakable toughness, and a reputation for outworking anyone standing across from him. His impressive professional career earned him a spot on the sport's biggest stage, where he competed in the UFC against some of the division's most formidable names. Beyond the cage, Chris has remained deeply invested in the growth of combat sports in his home state. He founded Crowbar MMA and promoted regional MMA events in North Dakota, events I was lucky enough to be involved with as a judge. But stepping away from fighting didn't mean stepping away from competition. Staying true to his blue-collar roots, Chris shifted gears, literally, into IMCA dirt track racing, where he now brings the same intensity and passion he once showed in the cage. Alongside racing, he runs his agricultural businesses and remains closely connected to the communities that shaped him. A wrestler.A fighter.A racer.A businessman.A husband and a father. Please enjoy my interview with my friend Chris Tuchscherer.

Hamida Dakane says she was "disappointed" but "not surprised" by President Donald Trump's comments insulting Somalians and calling on them to leave the country. But it hurt.  "You know, this comment, it hits deeply on personal level, and what makes it worse is it's coming from the president of the free world," she said. "It's not just offensive. It is dehumanizing. It shakes your sense of belonging. Even if you lived here 5 days or decades, you call America or Minnesota or North Dakota home, and then the people who represent you demonize you to the point that they call you garbage. It's just very hurtful." Dakane, who was born in Kenya and is of Somali heritage, is a former state lawmaker who represented Fargo-area District 10 as the first black woman, and first Muslim, elected to that chamber. She's a Democrat, but pointed out that many Somali's vote for Republicans, and cast their ballots for Donald Trump. She was defeated for re-election in the 2024 election cycle by Rep. Jared Hendrix, who is an outspoken Trump supporter but ran a campaign focused on outreach to the Somali and larger immigrant communities. She said this situation Trump has created has hit particularly hard on children. "Kids will ask you 'why are we called garbage,'" she said.  "They know this as their home," she continued, pointing out that many of them were born in America, "and they're being called garbage. They question and they ask, 'where are we going to go? Where is our home if America is not our home?'" Dakane praised North Dakota and Minnesota as a region that has welcomed her people. She came to North Dakota alone to attend North Dakota State University, and chose to stay because "North Dakota has been good to me and the neighbors have been good." Still, Dakane says her community isn't looking for victimhood. "I personally, I refuse to let those words define who we are or who the community is," she said. "And we are not victims. We are visionaries. Not the president calling them garbage or any other person just hating on them will stop them. They will keep being visionaries and not victims."
