...by which we don't mean the re-formatted news source Indian Country Today (now much less useful both in print and online), but just, what's going on out there.
- The latest step in the run-up to dam removal: Peninsula Daily News reports Lake Aldwell behind Elwha Dam begins its descent
- The Southern Ute Tribe (CO) has opened a new Museum and Cultural Center. Story on NPR.
- Nice story at rural newsmagazine, The Daily Yonder, about a growing trend for non-Indians choosing tribal colleges. The story doesn't cite any actual data.
- A program in Oklahoma designed to give participants the tools they need to help revitalize American Indian languages that are endangered has received a major grant. This is particularly interesting in that the program is based at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History and the funding came from the National Science Foundation. Huh?
- Nice picture story in the Vancouver Observer of a memorial powwow at the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Center.
- American Indian Report has a story about repatriation of Native American remains. The story is based on a report from the Government Accountability Office entitled Smithsonian Institution: Much Work Still Needed to Identify and Repatriate Indian Human Remains and Objects. (Don't use the link in the story to get to the report, it's broken. Use link in previous sentence.)
The network is running so slow I'm going to stop here. Maybe more later. :-{
