Photo: Flooding in Chinle on the Navajo Nation prompted evacuations this week. (Courtesy Shawna Ann Claw / Facebook) Three people are dead after they were washed away in a flood on the Navajo Nation just after midnight on Wednesday. As KNAU's Chris Clements reports, several communities are dealing with damage from the recent rainfall. Navajo police responded to reports that two adults and a juvenile were swept away by floodwaters near the Newcomb, New Mexico area shortly after midnight. Search and rescue crews found the three dead after searching the area into the early morning hours. Investigators say they drowned. Several Navajo communities are dealing with flooding, including Chinle and Many Farms. Officials have not released details about any damage or injuries. They urge residents along Highway 191 between mileposts 451 to 454 and other low terrain flood zones to evacuate. Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren signed an emergency declaration in response to the flooding. He said tribal members should use extreme caution around flooded roads and washes, adding that conditions can change quickly.

(Photo: Wonderlane / Flickr) The Alaska Federation of Natives is holding a series of listening sessions focused on the priorities, concerns, and values Alaska Native people want reflected in subsistence management. A session was held Wednesday at the NANA Regional Corporation office building in Anchorage, following earlier meetings in Bethel, Fairbanks, and Nome. Additional sessions are scheduled September 21 in Juneau, September 28 in Ketchikan, and October 1 in Copper Center. AFN says the sessions are intended to hear directly from communities about the challenges facing subsistence users and the principles and values that should guide future changes. People can also submit feedback to AFN online. (Courtesy American Indian College Fund) A new Brookings report says federal cuts and meager philanthropic support are widening long-standing funding gaps across Nebraska and Indian Country, threatening education, health care, infrastructure, and economic development, as Mark Richardson reports. The analysis calls for stable federal funding and sustained investment in Native-led institutions, including Tribal Colleges and Universities. Comments came from Little Priest Tribal College president Manoj Patil from Winnebago, Nebraska, American Indian College Fund president and CEO Cheryl Crazy Bull, and Rob Maxim, the report’s author and a fellow at The Brookings Institution. The pressure is especially sharp in higher education. The Brookings Institution and the American Indian College Fund released the analysis. Patil says pandemic-era investments brought temporary gains to Native colleges, but recent federal actions have reversed much of that momentum. “This constant threat of funding cuts impedes our growth because we are not sure whether to be aggressive in offering new programs or to be careful. That’s the biggest issue we face.” Patil adds there are only 34 TCUs in the U-S and Little Priest is one of only two such institutions in Nebraska. He says every $1.00 invested in TCUs returns $1.60 in tax revenue, benefiting both Native and non-Native communities. American Indian College Fund President Cheryl Crazy Bull says the report provides significant evidence of chronic underfunding by the federal government, despite trust and treaty obligations to Native Americans. “You can’t really have this self-determination in the Native community without being a culturally grounded, well-educated person.” Maxim osays high-profile figures like Amazon co-founder MacKenzie Scott will occasionally step up with notable contributions to Indian Country, but he says it is rare. “It is really hard for Tribal leaders themselves, for Native-serving institutions to make decisions based on the lack of data that’s out there.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,335 on turnover of 10.9-billion N-T. The market rose by over 700 points on Monday to close at its second-highest ever record as buying focused on large-cap semiconductor stocks after U-S tech companies rallied at the end of last week. Arrest warrant issued for missing senior aide indicted in lawmaker's corruption case The Taipei District Court has issued an arrest warrant for Kao Chin Su-mei's former legislative office director after he jumped bail. According to the court, police responded late Sunday after an electronic wrist monitor belonging to Chang Chun-chieh issued a low-battery alert. Police failed to locate Chang, but recovered his wrist monitor, which had been "broken and thrown away." Chang was indicted along with Kao Chin and 22 other people in early June on charges of corruption and fraud-related charges related to the embezzlement of public funds and the importation (進口) of unapproved COVID-19 test kits from China. He was released on 10-million N-T bail in June on health grounds. MOHW on this year's flu shots The Ministry of Health says it could purchase more enhanced flu vaccines if those being introduced into the government's free vaccination program this year prove to be effective. The statement comes after the ministry announced it had purchased 200,000 doses of enhanced flu vaccines - with residents of long-term care facilities being given priority. Health officials says if funding is available, it plans to purchases to 600,000 doses of the enhanced (增強的、提高的) vaccines next year. The first phase of the government's free flu vaccination program begins on October 1 and the Centers for Disease Control has said it purchased just over 7-million doses for the publicly funded program this year. Indonesia Flights Resume After Volcano Eruption Flights to and from Indonesia's capital of Jakarta have resumed after ash from a volcanic eruption forced a two-day closure that halted nearly 3,000 flights. The transportation minister said Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Halim Perdanakusuma Airport serving Jakarta reopened early today. Three smaller airports also reopened just after midnight, but three others remain closed until 10 a.m. The continuous eruption of Anak Krakatau with lava fountains and loud booms (轟，隆隆聲) ended Sunday but the volcanic island remained active Tuesday morning. The airport closures Sunday and Monday affected about 341-thousand passengers. CANADA'S RETALIATORY TARIFFS** TAKE EFFECT AS TRUMP THREATENS TO BAN** BOMBARDIER SALES IN THE US Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on more than twenty-seven billion dollars' worth of American goods, with levies of up to fifty per cent taking effect today. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to ban the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling planes in the United States, writing on Truth Social that the company must build in America or lose access to the market. Quebec's premier has vowed defiance, saying her province will not allow anyone to dictate (決定，規定) where Canadian companies must produce. Jagruti Dave reports from Washington.

Ed. Note-Five years ago, I looked back on 9/11 in a 20 year retrospective. This week is the 25th anniversary of that event. I am rerunning this award winning podcast so that we never forget.  On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack, Tom Fox and guests look back on the tragic event and what it meant for them personally, as well as how it impacted the world of compliance. Juan Zarate is the Global co-Managing Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at K2 integrity. On 9/11 he was a prosecutor at the Treasury Department working on international enforcement issues, anti money laundering, anti-corruption and anti-terrorist financing. He joins Tom Fox to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11. They discuss how his role changed, the Treasury Department response and what the tragic event means for him. A Change of Mission 9/11 changed the mission of the Treasury Department. Juan tells Tom, “We went after terrorist financing to try to disrupt and dismantle Al-Qaeda's terrorist networks and infrastructure, and disrupt how illicit financing was flowing through the international system.” He recalls where he was on the fateful day and how seeing the smoke from the Towers and the Pentagon affected him emotionally. Something very different was happening, he recalls; the country was under attack. He outlines the strategic, departmental and tactical changes implemented after 9/11 to fight terrorism. The President declared that we were now at war. “The attitude and the strategic direction of the government was [that] we now have to prevent terrorist attacks,” Juan recalls. “We have to disrupt and dismantle terrorist networks. And that led to an entire preventative paradigm for the counter-terrorism approach to the government.” The new mission of the Treasury Department was the following areas, Juan remarks: “How do you use financial information more aggressively? How do we think about the use of tools and authorities that the Treasury has, like sanctions, anti money laundering rules? How do we think about the relationships internationally with central banks, finance ministries? How do we get the world on board to disrupt terrorist financing, to rip these organizations out of the legitimate financial commercial world?” The Patriot Act was one tactical change, among others, that was implemented to achieve the new mission of fighting terrorism. What 9/11 Means Tom asks Juan, “What are your reflections now as we come up on the 20th anniversary of the day of 9/11, and really what it meant for America and for you 20 years later?” Juan responds that he has mixed emotions. He thinks about the victims and their families first of all. That day changed history, he says. “It changed the way that the U S government viewed the world. It changed the way that we operated our strategy. And it changed the sense of our vulnerability.” The recent events in Afghanistan make the 20th anniversary even more difficult for Juan. “I have very mixed emotions coming on the 20th anniversary of 9/11,” he concludes, “but I'm very proud of the work that we did. I'm proud of the people I served with and my sympathies go out to the victims and their families.” Resources Juan Zarate at ⁠K2 Integrity⁠    Learn more about your ad choices.
