Alvord, Lori Arviso. "The Observatory; Navajo Culture Provides Doctor a
Rich Resource for the Healing Arts," Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN), 20
October 1999, 20A.
["I was raised in a tiny town on the border of the Navajo reservation, in
Crownpoint, N.M. My father's family is Navajo, and my mother's family is
white. My father attended two years of college, and my mother had only a
high-school education. We lived in a poor community but considered
ourselves lucky to have a house with plumbing and electricity. Many people
spoke no English, only Navajo, and much of the Navajo culture was intact.
During my childhood, I never dreamed that I would someday become a
physician, much less a surgeon. Navajo children didn't allow themselves to
have such big dreams. I had never met a Navajo with an advanced degree. My
parents always expected me to go to college, but I was not planning on
graduate work, much less a medical degree. . . . When I finished my
training in surgery, I returned to the Navajo community as an Indian Health
Service doctor in Gallup, N.M. It was then that I realized that although I
had been trained to be a very good surgeon, I was not trained to be a
healer. I found that I had learned a way of treating patients that was
focused on "operations," rather than on treating the whole patient. I
embarked on a journey to find a better way to practice medicine. It took me
back to the traditional healers of my tribe, and to the ancient medicine of
my people."]

"Amercan Indian Advocate Threatens Lawsuit Over Team Names," The Associated

["AUGUSTA, Maine -- The leader of an American Indian advocacy group is
preparing to bring a lawsuit against School Administrative District 54 if
its schools do not change the name of their sports teams by the end of the
year. The district's middle and high school teams are called the Indians,
a name that David Spirit Bear Walton are disparaging to American Indian
culture. Walton said he hopes schools in Skowhegan and other communities
that are using American Indian names and regalia in their athletic programs
will change them on their own, but does not believe that is likely. . . .
Walton, of Limington, founded the American Indian Movement, Northeast
Woodlands, in Maine. It is not part of the national AIM, but shares many of
its goals. The U.S. Justice Department has been examining high school
mascots and nicknames depicting American Indians for any possible civil

["HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia fishers met with a top federal negotiator
yesterday to gain concessions and prevent more protests over native fishing
rights in Atlantic Canada. Representatives from about six non-native
fishing groups met with James MacKenzie, a consultant appointed by Ottawa
last week as lead negotiator in the dispute. "It was a good meeting," said
Ashton Spinney, a fisher at the meeting. . . . MacKenzie hoped to address
the concerns of Nova Scotia fishers, worried a recent Supreme Court of
Canada ruling giving natives the right to fish, hunt and gather without
licences will destroy lucrative lobster stocks. . . . Fishers in and
around Yarmouth, N.S., want assurances the fishery will be regulated by
Ottawa and limits will be placed on when and where natives can fish."]

Tarnishing Justice," Calgary Herald, 20 October 1999, A34.
["It has been just over a month since the Supreme Court of Canada handed
down its latest disastrous decision in the area of aboriginal affairs. The
aftermath of the court's decision in the Marshall case has certainly made
for exciting TV news. Nearly every night, angry lobster fishermen can be
seen denouncing the Mi'kmaq, the court, the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans, the government of Canada and the rule of law. . . . Evidently
neither the Department of Fisheries nor the Justice Department had plans to
deal with the enormous consequences of losing in the highest court what
they had won in the courts below. . . . when it comes to assigning
responsibility for increasing distrust, animosity and outright violence
between native and other Canadians, the lion's share lies with the Supreme
Court of Canada. . . . The self-aggrandizing logic of the court is
dangerous on several counts. It has worsened already delicate relations
between natives and non-natives all across Canada. It has provoked
otherwise law-abiding Canadians into acts of lawlessness. Perhaps most
important, the long train of irresponsible decisions, of which Marshall is
arguably the worst, has brought the administration of justice itself into
disrepute."]

["DENVER -- Denver police say they recovered nearly $ 100,000 worth of
stolen American Indian artifacts and arrested two people in a sting
operation that had detectives posing as art dealers. Police said they made
the arrests after receiving information that a man had entered the David
Cook gallery in central Denver and offered to sell several museum-quality
American Indian artifacts. While the man was still in the gallery, a sales
clerk alerted her boss, who remembered a letter from an art gallery in New
Mexico with descriptions of stolen items and of suspects in their theft.
The clerk told the salesman to come back later that afternoon to speak with
the director about the artifacts. When he returned with a woman, he spoke
to a detective who posed as the director. The suspect produced several
items that he claimed had been handed down in his family, police said.
After a price was negotiated, police arrested the suspect and his companion."]

["NOAH ADAMS, host: There are places in this country that have been nearly
untouched by the telecommunications revolution. While Internet users in
some parts of the country may be trying to figure out how to get faster
Internet access, more than half of all Native Americans don't even have
telephones in their homes. For the first time, the Federal Communications

Nurnberger has a report.
LISA NURNBERGER reporting: Ninety-four percent of all American households
have phone service. The 6 percent without tend to be low-income people in
remote areas. And a disproportionate number are Native American. Karen
Buller, with the National Indian Telecommunications Institute, says that
means people can't call their mothers who live a few miles away, or their
children's teachers, or, in the worst-case scenario, an ambulance.
Ms. LISA BULLER (National Indian Telecommunications Institute): Many people
have died because they couldn't get access to health services to come and
save them. And we hear that all the time. Unfortunately, it is common.
NURNBERGER: And Buller says as the rest of America moves into the era of
telecommuting, the country is leaving Indian country even further behind,

Fisher, Douglas. "Lobster Wars Only the Beginning; Supreme Court Decision
On Native Rights Echoes Throughout Canada's Forests," The Toronto Sun, 20
October 1999, 16.
["OTTAWA -- Robert Nault, the new minister of Indian and Northern Affairs,
seems to have been quicker than Herb Dhaliwal, the new minister of
Fisheries, in realizing the huge implications of the recent Supreme Court
decision which triggered the so-called lobster wars along the East Coast.
Dhaliwal talks up negotiation "at the table" to end the particular tensions
between the licensed lobster fishermen and unlicensed Indians in order to
get a workable agreement for regulating and sharing the catch, whereas
Nault has anticipated the astounding ramifications of the decision. These
are exciting hundreds of the 600-odd First Nations, and they will
complicate for generations the already complex management and usage of the
natural resources of all provinces. Nault has chaired an active House
committee on natural resources which has set out national forest standards.
His quick response to the court decision indicates he realizes it will open
priority forest access for many bands living in our vast hinterlands,
enabling them to harvest regularly sawmill logs and pulpwood for sales
large enough to meet, as the court put it, "their necessities" ... It's
possible several decades from now that both status Indians and most
Canadians will look back on the Marshall decision as the beginning of a
process which would make natives (by bands) the main loggers and foresters
of the land, tying them in with a sustainable, renewable resource base and
a highly modernized technology, not just for harvesting but for
reforestation ... Of course, there will be strenuous opposition to
Indianizing even a small part of the raw material side of the forest
industries. Some provincial governments will figuratively go through the
roof - certainly Quebec, probably Ontario. And the issue of Indians
vis-a-vis logging is already explosive in B.C. Nevertheless, a dramatically
altered provenance and exploitation of the forests is likely if our two
senior levels of government continue to respect decisions of the Supreme
Court, and if the First Nations, taking their lead from Chief Phil
Fontaine, respond positively to Nault's invitation and without extreme
claims about access to resources."]

["Justice Minister Anne McLellan's quick dismissal of American Indian
activist Leonard Peltier's plight not only deals a harsh blow to his
chances of gaining clemency, but displays an appalling lack of sensitivity.
After taking an unconscionably long five years to review Peltier's
controversial extradition from Canada to the United States in 1976,
McLellan has written her American counterpart, Janet Reno, with the
conclusion that the government followed the letter of the law in handling
the Indian leader's case ... The extradition hinged on the testimony of
Myrtle Poor Bear, a mental patient, who filed two affidavits declaring she
saw Peltier commit the murders. But Poor Bear also filed another affidavit
confirming she was not even on the reservation at the time of the
shootings. Yet McLellan still believes the extradition was warranted,
despite the misleading evidence presented by the FBI. That's certainly not
the opinion of former solicitor- general and Indian Affairs Minister Warren
Allmand - a member of the Liberal cabinet at the time. He believes the
extradition hinged on the phony affidavit."]

Loy, Wesley. "Judge Rules Against Native Claim," Anchorage Daily News, 20
October 1999, 1A.
["A Kodiak Island village Native corporation never should have been able to
claim some of the island's best and most accessible land because the
''alleged village'' it represents had ceased to exist, a federal
administrative law judge has determined. The ruling is the latest twist in
an epic struggle on Kodiak. The conflict pits the embattled Native
corporation, Leisnoi Inc., against island cattle rancher Omar Stratman, and
has drawn in local governments, landowners, fishermen and even Congress.
For 23 years Stratman has argued that Leisnoi is invalid, that the Native
village it represented on Woody Island, a mile east of the town of Kodiak,
had long since dissolved by the time the Alaska Native Claims Settlement
Act came along in 1971. That act distributed some 44 million acres of
federal land in Alaska and almost $ 1 million to settle Native claims in
Alaska. It led to the creation of dozens of regional and village
corporations to represent the land and business interests of villages
endowed with land, money and other resources. Leisnoi Inc. was one such
corporation, based on the Native village of Woody Island. Stratman's
ranchland, which he had leased from the federal government, was part of the
115,000 acres Leisnoi was granted the right to select under ANCSA. The
corporation also claimed much land along Kodiak's limited road system,
clustered on the northeastern corner of the island ... In a 100-page
''recommended decision'' dated Oct. 13, Judge Harvey Sweitzer ruled that
Woody Island village was not eligible for benefits under ANCSA because the
village did not have 25 or more Native residents or even an ''identifiable
physical location'' on April 1, 1970, as required by the act."]

tiny hamlet. And it's the bad roads that have the 658 souls of the
Whitehorse Lake Chapter of the Navajo Nation on the warpath these days. Not
too many people - besides the Native Americans who live here and the lone
missionary family - come to Rincon Marquise. The hamlet is located about 28
miles east of Whitehorse Lake in the northeastern part of McKinley County.
For the few who do, it is like stepping back into the land that time
forgot. The roads are in terrible shape: of the 49 homes in the community
(some with up to 19 people from three families living in each) only seven
have electricity; 18 have solar power that fails to provide adequate power
for the homes; none have indoor plumbing; and all the residents have to
haul water some 68 miles everyday ... In early September, residents and
officials from the Navajo Nation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Whitehorse
Chapter council members, health agencies, Emergency Management and McKinley
County met in Rincon Marquise to tour the troubled community and to meet
and talk about the problems. State Reps. George Hanosh and Kenny Martinez
were invited, but didn't show up. Only one Navajo Nation official, Victor
Joe, representing the Navajo Nation Speaker of the Council, came to the
meeting. George said she was very happy to have Joe attend, but
disappointed that others who were also invited failed to come. "We didn't
want to put anybody who came to the special meeting on a guilt trip, but
there's human tragedy going on out there on a daily basis," George said ...
Lousie Apachito, a community elder, offered a few poignant words about
death in her family. It all pointed toward the terrible road conditions and
lack of medical facilities. She talked of her mother, who for lack of
medical help in the community, simply lay down and died years ago. Her
husband too is gone. Apachito wept softly as she talked, saying that
Navajos can't get the medicines they need because they can't get into areas
where there are medical facilities. "I'm the only one surviving," she said.
"We need help out here." By that time her tears were falling to the floor
and she tried to wipe her eyes. She was not just crying for her losses.
Louise Apachito cried for all the forgotten lost children of the Navajo
Nation who call Rincon Marquise home."]

["The Idaho Tax Commission estimates the state could lose about $1.6

Judge Daniel T. Eismann has ruled the state can't charge gas tax to Goodman

resale. Goodman Oil Co. also delivers gas to the Nez Perce Tribe for

Eismann's ruling after a final judgment is issued. The tax commission
believes there is a federal law authorizing states to impose gas taxes on
the tribe or enrolled members of the tribe, according to its summary of the
case. "Even if there were no federal statute, the incidence of Idaho's fuel
tax falls on the licensed distributor, not the retailer or the individual
consumer,'' the tax commission says ... Eismann also ruled the federal
Hayden-Cartwright Act doesn't grant the states the right to tax gas sold by
the tribe on the reservation to its own members."]
