The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill to transfer land along the Missouri River in Iowa back to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. The Winnebago Land Transfer Act returns 16-hundred acres to the tribe after it was seized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1970s for a proposed recreation project. Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, who introduced the bill, says the Corps was wrong to take the land through eminent domain.

Parades and powwows are gearing up to honor Native American veterans around the country. Native military service dates to well before Native Americans were considered citizens of the United States. In addition to financial and educational benefits, Native people look to the military as a source of honor in line with tribal traditions. We'll celebrate Native military service and assess how Native veterans are included when it comes to understanding cultural traditions, Friday on Native America Calling with Shawn Spruce. GUESTS Elouise Brown (Diné), TseAlnaozti'i Veterans Organization secretary and Northern Navajo Veterans Organization secretary   “Truckee” Bob Tilton (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe), combat foreman with the 7th Marine Corps in Vietnam    Maryann Parker (Kiowa from the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma), curatorial specialist at the First American Museum Raquel Painter (Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska; Santee Sioux descent), President/Chief Professional Officer of United Way of Onslow County, Marine veteran (26 years), and North Carolina's 2021 Combat Female Veteran of the Year

On this day in legal history, we have another dark period in United States Supreme Court history–on November 3, 1884, the Supreme Court ruled in Elk v. Wilkins that John Elk, a Winnebago man, was not a citizen entitled to protection of the 14th and 15th Amendments of the US constitution.Today we delve into a disheartening chapter of the United States Supreme Court annals with the case of Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94, decided on November 3, 1884. The case centered around John Elk, a member of the Winnebago Tribe, who argued that his residence in Omaha, Nebraska accorded him citizenship under the recently adopted Fourteenth Amendment. The crux of the argument lay in the interpretation of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” within the amendment, which Elk contended included Native Americans residing off reservations.The Supreme Court, however, held in a 7-2 decision that Elk was not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States at birth merely by virtue of his domicile within the United States. The majority opinion, penned by Justice Gray, drew a sharp distinction between allegiance by birth within the territorial dominion and mere residence. It underscored the prevailing notion of the era that tribal nations held a distinct status, which placed them outside the immediate jurisdiction of the U.S., hence their members were exempt from the automatic citizenship provision of the Fourteenth Amendment.The dissenting opinions, though obviously in the minority, recognized the grave injustice and marginalization inflicted upon Native Americans. Justice John Marshall Harlan, nicknamed “The Great Dissenter” owing to his penchant for getting the argument right in his dissents, authored a contrary opinion. The dissenters argued for a broader interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, contending that its framers intended to extend citizenship to all persons born within the territorial limits of the United States. The case underscored the Supreme Court's complicity in perpetuating the marginalization of Native Americans during that epoch.The implications of Elk v. Wilkins were profound and far-reaching, fostering a climate of legal exclusivity and racial discrimination. It wasn't until over half a century later, with the enactment of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, that all Native Americans were granted U.S. citizenship. This case remains a bleak reminder of the judicial hurdles marginalized groups have faced in their fight for equality and recognition under the law. Through its narrow interpretation of citizenship, the Court in Elk v. Wilkins reflected and reinforced the prejudiced attitudes of its time, contributing to a legacy of disenfranchisement that took many decades to begin to undo.After a month-long trial, Sam Bankman-Fried, associated with the FTX exchange, was found guilty of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy, following a fast deliberation by the Manhattan jury. This verdict came as a victory for Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams, marking a significant prosecution in the crypto sphere. Bankman-Fried, once at the helm of a $32 billion valued FTX, now faces a potential maximum of 20 years in prison for each serious charge, with sentencing scheduled for March. The prosecution accused him of orchestrating a large-scale fraud, diverting FTX customer funds to an affiliated hedge fund, Alameda Research, for risky investments and personal expenditures, eventually leading to the bankruptcy of both entities.This case underscored vulnerabilities within the crypto sector, stirring diverse industry reactions. Some saw it as a step towards a more regulated future, while others saw it as a testament to the sector's inherent flaws attracting criminal activities. Unlike other high-profile fraud cases, the verdict here was reached swiftly, contrasting notably with the eight-day deliberations in the fraud cases of Elizabeth Holmes and Bernie Ebbers. The trial revealed a complex narrative with testimonies from Bankman-Fried's close associates, all implicating him in the fraud, showcasing the human drama entwined with the legal proceedings.Bankman-Fried's defense portrayed him as a dedicated individual caught in a deteriorating situation, while Ari Redbord highlighted the case's significance due to the size of the fraud and Bankman-Fried's fall from grace. The conviction paints a grim picture for Bankman-Fried, whose legal team is considering an appeal, reflecting an ongoing saga of legal battles within the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency markets.SBF Faces Decades in Prison After Swift Guilty Verdict (4)In a preliminary verdict, a California State Bar Court judge found John Eastman, an attorney for former President Trump, culpable on 11 counts of moral and legal violations, concerning his alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. This followed 32 days of testimony, with Judge Yvette Roland indicating that the case would proceed to rebuttal and aggravation phases. Eastman, earlier on, invoked his First Amendment rights, claiming his statements were made as a private citizen, not as counsel to Trump, especially concerning remarks made before the Jan. 6 Capitol raid.Eastman, a former law professor, upheld his stance that illegalities in ballot counting and local election authorities' actions without legislative authorization invalidated the election. He also testified that Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to delay electoral ballot counting to allow states to resolve disputes, a claim refuted by Pence's and White House legal counsel. The trial, aiming potentially to revoke Eastman's license, is set to continue with closing arguments and testimonies from election officials.Stanford University political science professor Justin Grimmer criticized Eastman's analysis methodology, particularly regarding signature rejection rates on absentee ballots in Georgia, labeling the assumptions and errors in Eastman's court filings as “ridiculous.” Grimmer, through his testimony, highlighted that 90% of the lower rejection rates were due to early ballot returns and changes in absentee ballot envelope design, discrediting Eastman's claims. His stance was supported by a National Academy of Sciences article he co-authored, debunking statistical claims challenging the 2020 election outcome.The upcoming aggravation phase will see election professionals providing evidence against Eastman, emphasizing the harm caused by false claims of election fraud, including harassment of election officials and undermined public trust. Eastman will have an opportunity to rebut evidence before the post-trial briefing deadline on Nov. 22. Judge Roland will then have 90 days to issue a decision, subject to appeal, with the California Supreme Court making the final judgment on disciplinary actions against Eastman.Eastman Preliminarily Found Culpable in California Bar Trial (1)Nascar, along with Rev Racing, a team it supports for developing female and minority drivers, has been accused of exhibiting bias against white men amid its diversity initiatives, according to claims by America First Legal, a conservative legal group led by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Miller, you will remember, is the gent that went after Kellogg's, accusing them of making Pop-Tarts gay. His group has approached the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to investigate the alleged "illegal discrimination against White, male Americans" by Nascar and Rev Racing. Over the recent year, America First Legal has leveled accusations against numerous companies, like Morgan Stanley, Major League Baseball, McDonald's, and Starbucks, asserting that their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are discriminatory.The EEOC has not yet publicly responded to these requests from America First Legal, which if pursued, could potentially place the agency in a challenging position of scrutinizing corporate measures intended to diminish workplace discrimination. The conservative group argues that the DEI initiatives by Nascar and Rev Racing, which include a "diversity driver development program," "diversity pit crew development program," and a "NASCAR diversity internship program," infringe on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination based on race and sex.These programs initially stated they were designed for women and ethnic minorities but were amended on September 1 to express a focus on applicants from "diverse backgrounds and experiences," as per the information in the letter from America First Legal to the EEOC. Despite this change in phrasing, the group contends that Nascar and Rev Racing persist in executing unlawful hiring practices under the guise of a "diverse backgrounds and experiences" rebranding. As of now, a spokesperson for Nascar has not provided a comment regarding these allegations.Nascar Accused of Bias Against White Men in Diversity EffortsEric Trump is anticipated to undergo further questioning in a New York fraud trial concerning the Trump Organization's alleged inflation of asset values to obtain favorable terms from lenders and insurers. Despite his claims of being unaware of the financial estimates of various assets under scrutiny, evidence presented in court suggests Eric Trump was part of the decision-making process regarding asset valuations. Judge Arthur Engoron has already established that fraudulent inflation occurred, with the trial now focusing on determining the penalties. New York Attorney General Letitia James is advocating for substantial penalties, including up to $250 million in fines and a prohibition on the Trumps owning companies in New York.Eric Trump has denounced the allegations, accusing James and Engoron of political bias, which has resulted in a $15,000 fine for violating a limited gag order. The trial, expected to run through December, is part of multiple legal challenges faced by the Trump family, amidst Donald Trump's efforts to secure the Republican presidential nomination for the upcoming election, despite facing 91 felony charges across four separate criminal cases. The trial has also featured testimonies from other key figures, including Michael Cohen and Donald Jr., both shedding light on the inner workings of the Trump Organization's asset valuation processes during Donald Trump's presidency.Eric Trump to face more tough questions in NY court about fraud | ReutersOn November 2, attorneys representing Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor and personal lawyer to former President Donald Trump, appealed to the Washington, D.C., Board of Professional Responsibility to dismiss a recommendation aimed at disbarment concerning his involvement in a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania. Giuliani's lawyers argued his role was minor in the suit which sought to nullify numerous votes in Pennsylvania. John Leventhal, Giuliani's attorney, mentioned the lawsuit was inherently flawed, and Giuliani had little scope to enhance it upon his involvement.In July, a committee proposed Giuliani's disbarment, citing violations of two legal ethics rules associated with the "frivolous" lawsuit. It highlighted Giuliani's unsubstantiated allegations of widespread voter fraud. Hamilton "Phil" Fox, leading the D.C. disciplinary office, stressed that a lesser sanction than disbarment would be "virtually meaningless," criticizing Giuliani for showing no remorse.In the hearing, board members queried if the lack of sanctions by federal judges, who had dismissed Giuliani's lawsuit earlier, should be considered. Fox responded that the professional rules in discussion do not necessitate a prior judicial misconduct finding. Barry Kamins, another lawyer for Giuliani, found it concerning that the committee seemed to overlook Giuliani's past achievements, although board chair Bernadette Sargeant questioned if these accomplishments enabled him to pursue a frivolous lawsuit.The nine-member board plans to deliver its opinion later, with the D.C. Court of Appeals having the ultimate authority on disciplinary decisions regarding D.C.-licensed lawyers. This development is part of Giuliani's broader legal challenges, as he alongside Trump and other attorneys, faces criminal charges in Georgia's Fulton County for purportedly assisting in efforts to overturn the election results, charges to which Giuliani has pleaded not guilty.Giuliani urges ethics board to reject D.C. disbarment bid over election case | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

After having struggled with his mental health for some time and having four previous attempts, Zebulun made the decision to end his life on March 1 of his senior year at just 18 years of age. Now, 14 years later, Donna Wolff has made it her life's mission to create beauty amidst the tragedy. She has dedicated her life towards speaking openly about the loss of her son to suicide, not to trigger or cause harm for anyone listening but rather to continue the conversation so that we may hold space for those struggling with suicidal thoughts and those remaining after the loss of a loved one to suicide.So... how do we have these awkward conversations in life? Talking to someone who is struggling with their mental health doesn't have to be intimidating. Simply remain open and honest from a place of love. “How are you today? No, seriously, talk to me. Are you okay? I've been seeing this... I've been hearing this... I've been noticing this... People sometimes who are doing or saying these things are thinking of suicide. Are you thinking of suicide?” Don't be afraid to have those awkward conversations as you never know whose life you might impact for the better. Mental illness is a disease just like any other that can affect the mind and body. Releasing the stigma helps reduce the fears behind speaking openly and honestly. Please follow the links below for more on the benefits of having those very real and much needed conversations. The Awkward Conversation: https://youtu.be/fV1CQaTTvzE Seize The Awkward: https://youtu.be/r47l4eUU1bc Loss is loss. Yet in the face of someone taking their own life, family and friends often become silent and treat the death with shame and judgment. It's okay to bring a casserole to the surviving family. It's okay to offer to fold their laundry, clean their house, watch their kids, or run to the store for them. It's okay to share stories and say the name of the person who has died. Grief is very personal but it doesn't have to be isolating. Eighty percent of people left by suicide can also experience suicidal ideations. In lieu of telling someone what they should be doing, choose to be lovingly present, holding space for them to grieve. They need community. They need support. They need you. Together, we can help #StopSuicide. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or 988 or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741. These services are free and confidential. Donna is the President of Northeast NE Suicide Prevention Coalition, a mother, survivor of suicide loss, cosmetologist, Domestic Violence Community Outreach Advocate, certified in Basic Mediation, facilitator of a support group and has done numerous speaking events since losing her son. She also works with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska as a Prevention Specialist and with the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska as a Training & Outreach Specialist. Being native herself, her mission in life now is to share her son's story, reducing the stigma surrounding suicide and let others know they CAN survive and THRIVE after a suicide loss. In the words of Donna Wolff and her native culture, YOU ARE WORTHY!

Local health officials are making a push for more people 12-years and older to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Siouxland District Health says cases are going up around the country, especially in areas with lower vaccination rates. A post on social media says the vaccine is free and easily available in Siouxland. People can call their local health departments, pharmacies, or doctors to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, UnityPoint Health in Des Moines reports 95% to 99% of their COVID-19 patients are not vaccinated. The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska has reinstated a mask policy to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. The Tribal Council approved the changes for all public, indoor buildings on the reservation effective Tuesday.

Halloween might have been the big story in Las Vegas during the final weekend of the month. However, the headlines were filled with big-money jackpot wins over the last few days. Topping the list was a $251,404.37 table game jackpot at Bally’s Las Vegas on the Strip. That player hit it big playing Blazing 7’s Mega Jackpot. Moving to the downtown area of Las Vegas, casinos such as Aliante, California and Fremont also tweeted out big jackpot wins. A one dollar wager turned into a $12,556.97 Grand Progressive slots jackpot at California Casino on Oct. 30.Flamingo Las Vegas Poker Players Wins Big on Mississippi StudMost times, winning big at poker comes down to how you play the cards. Sometimes, a side bet option at a Las Vegas table game is all you need. Patrick L. walked away with a $738,104 Mega Progressive jackpot on Oct. 27. He was playing Mississippi Stud at the Flamingo Las Vegas. The big win came on a Royal Flush in spades with a side bet on the bonus. That made all the difference in the world. October in general was good for players throughout town. Several big five-digits jackpots were hit at various downtown Las Vegas casinos all month long. Nebraska Voters Decide The Future of Legal Casino GamblingThe state of Nebraska will have three different initiatives on November’s general election ballot. The first is 429 and this would pave the way for legal casino gambling at the state’s six horse racing tracks. The other two initiatives cover issues for regulating the casino industry. Ho-Chunk, Inc. is the driving force behind this measure. Another big proponent is the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA). Ho-Chunk is an economic development business entity for the Winnebago Tribe of Native Indians. The company currently owns Atokad Park in South Sioux City. Original plans called for a $30 million investment into a casino and event center at the track. Mississippi Gulf Coast Casinos Weather Hurricane Zeta Rather WellIt seems like one tropical system after another has hammered the Gulf Coast region this year. The latest storm made its presence known but it could not keep Mississippi coastal casinos down too long. As of Sunday, Nov. 1, only one of the 12 casinos in the area remained closed. Citing some safety concerns, Beau Rivage plans to reopen its doors on Thursday, Nov. 5. Some of the 11 were shutdown for a day or two. Both Palace Casino and Silver Slipper needed backup power for their cleanup efforts. The Golden Nugget Biloxi was able to remain open when Zeta made landfall last Wednesday night.

Today on this bonus episode of Midwest Misfits, we are talking to Alisha Shelton. Alisha is running for the Dem nomination for Senate, hoping to run against Ben Sasse... Yes --> THE Ben Sasse who voted against the Coronavirus Relief Package, who spent our money and time on fighting for a bullshi$ bill trying to criminalize healthcare providers who provide abortion care if they do not offer life saving measures to failed abortions, which we covered in Episode One: Ben Sasse is an Ass... This would be inappropriate care for this child. This is for a healthcare provider to decide. Hospice care is loving care. Alisha moved from New York to the Omaha Housing Projects in her childhood, which proved to be far more dangerous than her urban New York life. She is a gun owner. She is a Democrat who respects the Second Amendment, but has been devastated by the gun violence and school shootings that are a very American epidemic. We need to take action. Alisha is a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed professional counselor, specializing in trauma-informed care.  She is the Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. We talk about mental health, which is very timely considering the recent change to life as we knew it because of Covid- 19.

Is a new era for Native American media in the United States opening up? Three Native American journalists talk about challenging stereotypes and bringing a nuanced voice to indigenous issues. They belong to a generation that believes in making things happen, despite all the odds, and not waiting for mainstream media to catch on. Native Americans once owned the land in the United States, it was theirs before the white settlers arrived. They are the First People, whom archaeologists believe have been on the North American continent for some 50,000 years. Today they represent less than one percent of the United States’ total population. An estimated 2.7 million tribal citizens associated with 567 federally recognised tribes. Tribal issues hardly make it into the US mainstream media. When people outside the US read, listen or watch news about the country, it is as if America’s First Nation have become a ghost nation. Levi Rickert, the Michigan-based founder, editor and publisher of multimedia news platform Native News Online, says that is primarily due to the size of the Native American population. Kevin Abourezk, who is based in Nebraska where he is the managing editor of Indianz.com, a Native American online news site run by the Winnebago Tribe, believes it is because there are so few Native Americans in mainstream media. Jenni Monet (www.jennimonet.com) is an award winning Native American independent journalist from the Laguna Pueblo tribe. She has been working as a journalist for 19 years, most of it spent covering indigenous issues across the world. Under-reported narrative “There is a serious need for the indigenous narrative. [It] is the most chronically under-reported narrative in mainstream today, not only in the US but around the world,” she says. She points out that out of the hundreds of tribes living in the United States, only a tiny fraction of them attracts the attention of the media: the Lakotas, the Navaho Nation or the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. “It is not a mistake that these tribes are among the most popular in the mainstream because the mainstream goes towards the familiar. They like the poverty out of the Lakotas because it is so blatant. The cyclical nature of it is so raw. They like the Navaho Nation because it is so mystical with medicine-man and the south-west desert… They like the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma because who doesn’t firmly believe they have some ounce of Cherokee ancestry in their family lineage? These sorts of narratives as told by outsiders themselves have just been perpetuated for decades.” For Kevin Abourezk, who is from the Rosebud Lakota tribe, it is often difficult for Native journalists to get editors of non-native media to accept their story ideas. “Editors are acutely aware of who their readers are and [what] they want to read,” he explains. According to Abourezk, in areas where there are a significant number of Native Americans like Gallup, New Mexico or Rapid City, South Dakota, tribal issues will get more coverage. He says it is reflected in publications like the New York Times or smaller ones like the Sioux City Journal. Standing Rock, a reckoning One story that made it to mainstream media around the world was the long protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Thousands of Native Americans, joined by non-Natives, gathered in North Dakota to support the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes in their fight against the pipeline, a 3.8-billion-dollar investment. They say it desecrates sacred grounds and threatens the water quality of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The pipeline carries crude oil beneath their only source of drinking water. Across the globe, videos circulated, showing the violent repression of the protesters by private security guards, riot police and national guards. In their arsenal to deal with demonstrations, they used, among other things, sound cannons, rubber bullets and dog attacks. Jenni Monet covered the story for six consecutive months and was embedded at the Standing Rock reservation for four months, until the end of March 2017. She was arrested and, along with seven other journalists, is still facing charges for criminal trespass and rioting brought by the local Morton County. Why did it take such a violent crackdown for news about Standing Rock to make the headlines? “People were maimed,” remembers Jenni Monet. “People were sent into hypothermic shock after being doused with water on a sub-freezing night in November to the point where legacy media could not simply ignore it anymore. They reported on that story 48 hours later. It takes for brown people to die before it becomes unfortunately headline news.” Monnet says that when the Dakota Access Pipeline protests were happening the story was competing with “one thing and one thing only, Donald Trump”. Based on her own experience, Monet describes the newsrooms obsession with “clickbait”, stories need to pull “the most shares, the most tweets, drive comments from viewers”. “If Standing Rock proved anything, it’s that [tribal] issues aren’t complicated at all. You just need a lot of people to talk about them. Standing Rock is going to continue to be a case study for us when we look at the power of indigenous media. And, for me and my fellow native journalists, we cannot forget those strides and those gains that were made from Standing Rock.” Native American journalism Journalism for Native Americans by Native Americans goes back to the 19th century with the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper founded in 1828. It was written in both English and the Cherokee alphabet created by Sequoyah. “That newspaper was democracy at work … sovereignty at work. It was the tribe itself having a voice and shaping a narrative that otherwise was completely removed from any sort of publication back then,” declares Jenni Monet. The newspaper emerged at a time when the Cherokee Nation was debating what action to take while facing forced relocation from their ancestral land in south-eastern United States. Under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Cherokee people were rounded up and forced to relocate to an area west of the Mississippi River designated as Indian Territory. The journey became known as the “trail of tears”. Tribal newspapers are still very popular, according to Kevin Abourezk, and probably the most popular among the various native news platforms. Most tribes of a certain size have a newspaper that they publish and distribute to their members on the reservations. But such media do not cover national issues pertaining to the Indian Country. “Just a handful of websites” will cover, for example, a hearing in Washington related to some law dealing with Indian Trust Land. And that’s a problem for Kevin Abourezk. For Jenni Monet, indigenous media shouldn’t only be for the tribal communities, nor should it only look at “outsiders” as an audience. It should be “somewhere in between”. “What we saw at Standing Rock was this widespread embrace of concepts that editors themselves have often couched as topics too weighty for their listenership to endure. It was amazing to see on CNN, Sara Sidner quote Lakota prophecy. And a segment about treaty rights. These topics are not too complicated. What they are is sorely underreported.” Making their voice heard “It’s our time to tell our stories,” declares Levi Rickert, who is from the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. He deplores the way in which Native Americans are portrayed in the US media. And that’s one of the reasons he decided to set up Native News Online in 2011. “We are perceived as being conquested people, losers… [associated with] alcoholism, poverty... I try to identify stories that really show the progress and achievements of American Indians and Alaska Natives.” For Rickert, this is a more a calling than a job. “It is almost like a trusteeship given to me by the Creator to really do my part,” he say, “We serve many tribal nations from around the United States. I try to purposefully find writers from around the country that can write about their region, their tribal nation. The non-native media will not always write about our stories, we can certainly do it.” As for Jenni Monet, she opted for the precarious position of being an independent journalist rather than being attached to a particular news organisation in order to have a greater chance of getting her stories about indigenous peoples and their rights movements published. “I’ve worked for some of the biggest brands in the industry and I understand how newsrooms operate. [Being] independent, I can choose many of these decision makers and pitch and pitch and pitch,” declares Jenni Monet, host of the podcast, Still here: Modern stories of resilience, indigenously told. “People are starting to wake up a little and realise that there is a whole vast Indian country out there,” adds Monet. A generation of journalists, whom she describes as front-runners, took the lead in creating a nuanced narrative and paved the way for her generation. “I’m so grateful for writers like Tim Giago, Mark Trahant, Suzan Shown Harjo, Bunty Anquoe and the list can go on.” Kevin Abourezk recently decided to start working full time for the Native news website, Indianz.com. Most of his 18 years as a journalist were spent working for the Lincoln Journal Star, a non-Native daily. “I’ve always wanted to work for native media but I’ve also for a long time felt it was important to reach out to non-Native Americans and trying to educate them about issues facing Native Americans.” Abourezk says that his former editors were great and welcomed his stories. However, they had a preference for a certain type of stories. One of them is White Clay, a small town of 14 people in Nebraska with four liquor stores selling four million cans of beer a year to the Pine Ridge reservation, which has a population of 40,000 people. In September this year Indian Country Today, a prominent newspaper and website, put a stop to its activities after 25 years in business, citing financial constraints. This brought some big changes in the world of Native journalism in America, explained Abourezk, and it was one of the reasons why he decided to move to Indianz.com. “When Indian Country Today decided to shut down … that left a huge vacuum in the world of Native journalism. I felt it was important for Native journalists to step up and fill the vacuum the best we can.” It took two years of incubation before Levi Rickert’s launched Native News Online. A sustainable business model providing independent reporting appears to be a difficult goal to achieve. Rickert says that he is constantly trying to figure out how to make it work on the small Native media scene “It is a struggle. We have to fight for advertising, sponsorships, many times we are marginalized. You just have to get pass the ‘Nos’ and get people to say ‘Yes’. You have to have the tenacity to keep going even when it looks dismal out there.” The words that really encapsulate what the Native American journalists we spoke to are trying to achieve probably come from one Native News Online viewer: “You write how we Indians want to be written about.” Follow Jenni Monet on Twitter @jennimonet Follow Kevin Abourezk on Twitter @Kevin_Abourezk Follow Levi Rickert on Twitter @Native_NewsNet Follow Zeenat Hansrod on Twitter @zxnt Sound editor: Alain Bleu Music by Raye Zaragoza (In the river) and Camp Pueblo Singers (Water is life)

“If you are interested in Native issues, do what you need to do. One person can make a difference.” If you listen to NextGen Native, chances are you know Lance Morgan. Lance is the CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc, a corporation owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. He also is the managing partner of Frederick Peebles Morgan, and teaches at Arizona State University Law School. I worked with Lance and his company in my last job and had the chance to get to hear his story a bit as he told the story of Ho Chunk Inc. The two are intertwined. After studying economics and earning a law degree (official bio below), Lance moved back to his tribe and within a few years, started to implement the idea he had been tinkering with to create a tribally owned company. It’s a bit crazy now to think that not too long ago, this was a revolutionary idea. Lance grew with the company, and it’s currently generating about $250 million in revenue. It’s a shining success in Indian Country. And not just because of how much it earns, but what it does with its profits, creating housing on the reservation, running a used car company to help tribal members build credit. We discuss transition and trying to build the next generation of talent. We discuss the idea that 30 years from now, there will be 100 Lance Morgan’s and that will be the expectation. We discuss the transition the company is experiencing currently in its business lines. Lance shares some of his favorite podcasts (Freakonomics, Revisionist History, TED, Stuff they Didn’t Teach you in History Class, Revolutions, Harvard Business Review, NPR, and BBC to name a few). This conversation spans far beyond business, including what Lance thinks is most important in life. It’s a jam packed 45 minutes, you may end up listening to it twice! Official Bio Lance Morgan is President and Chief Executive Officer of Ho-Chunk, Inc. Morgan launched Ho-Chunk, Inc. in 1994 as the economic development corporation of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Under Morgan's leadership, Ho-Chunk, Inc. has been recognized by a variety of national organizations including: Innovations in Government Award, sponsored by Harvard University and the Ford Foundation; Honoring Nations Award, also sponsored by Harvard; Minority Business Magazine, Entrepreneurial Spirit Award; Distinguished Alumni Speaker, Harvard Law School; Small Business Administration; U.S. Department of State; U.S. Department of Commerce; and the White House. Morgan was selected as a “Champion of Change” by the White House in 2011. In 2012, he was awarded the Nebraska Builder Award by the University of Nebraska and the keynote speaker for commencement ceremonies. Morgan was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Indian in 2013/2014, he was honored with the Advocate of the Year Award by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency.Morgan earned a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Nebraska (B. S. 1990) and graduated from Harvard Law School (J.D. 1993). He is a member of the Minnesota Bar Association. Morgan is an enrolled member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

Looting of Native American artifacts has been a problem almost since Columbus first stepped off the boat in the New World. One Topeka artist argues for repatriation of these objects through her paintings.
