☆ Affordable internet gave Native Americans a way to preserve community and culture. Now it’s another broken promise
  + stars: | 2024-05-01 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +12 min
Within weeks, the two-year-old US Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is set to run out of funds, and Congress appears unlikely to authorize more. Even as many older and rural Americans may be thrust into financial hardship due to the ACP’s collapse, indigenous communities could fare even worse. Because tribal members can now work remotely, they are no longer forced to move away from their communities to seek opportunity, they told CNN. For example, Mitchell said, after decades of decline in Mohawk fluency, a growing number of tribal members are now involved in online language immersion. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) Seth Wenig/AP/FileInstead, some say, the collapse of the ACP will become another stain on the US government’s centuries-long track record of breaking promises to tribal communities.

☆ Indigenous Tribes Urge Federal Officials to Deny Loan Request for Superior Natural Gas Plant

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Indigenous tribes in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin have asked federal officials to deny a utility's request for a loan to help build a natural gas-fired power plant on the shores of Lake Superior, calling the project unthinkable in the face of climate change. Chippewa tribes located across the northern third of the three states sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture officials on Sunday asking them to deny Dairyland Power Cooperative's request for a $350 million public loan. The request is intended to cover the utility's share of the cost of building the Nemadji Trail Energy Center power plant. Dairyland Power Cooperative, Minnesota Power and Basin Electric Cooperative have been working to gain permission to build the $700 million power plant for more than three years. The tribes also noted that the new plant would be situated near a cemetery where about 180 Fond du Lac tribal members are buried in a mass grave.

Workers at a Buffalo Starbucks store have filed a petition to decertify their union.

It was among the first Starbucks stores in the country where employees voted to have union representation. A spokesperson for Workers United told TV station WGRZ that Starbucks had launched an "illegal union-busting campaign" at the store. According to Workers United, about 300 Starbucks stores around the US have voted to unionize.

☆ Enbridge says it agreed to pay $11 mln on Line 3 pipeline penalties

Companies Enbridge Inc FollowOct 17 (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) said on Monday it has reached an agreement on penalties over its Line 3 oil pipeline replacement project and that it will pay $11 million to various Minnesota regulators and the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The Canadian company said $7.5 million of the total will be used to provide financial assurances and fund multiple environmental and resource enhancement projects, as part of the agreements with the Minnesota regulators and the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Line 3, built in the 1960s, carries oil from Edmonton, Alberta, to refineries in the U.S. Midwest, but for years was transporting less than its capacity because of age and corrosion. The replacement project, announced in 2014 and amounting to roughly $8.2 billion, was opposed by environmental and Native American groups, particularly in the last stage of the expansion in Minnesota. read moreRegister now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterReporting by Seher Dareen and Swati Verma in Bengaluru Editing by Matthew LewisOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
☆ Merrick Garland and a Michigan Mother
  + stars: | 2022-09-29 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The National School Boards Association has apologized for its infamous letter to President Biden last September suggesting “threats” and “acts of violence” at raucous public school board meetings “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.” But Attorney General Merrick Garland ’s memo to the FBI to investigate parents still stands. And if you want to understand why parents are still upset, look no further than what happened to a Michigan mother who complained to the Chippewa Valley school board. Sandra Hernden ’s son Conor has special needs, and since the Covid pandemic she’s been complaining that the board’s policies—from closures to virtual learning—led to her son’s GPA dropping to 1.5 from 3.5. Board members responded to her criticism by reporting her first to her then-employer, the Harper Woods police department, and then to the Department of Justice.
