They show SWO honors a frightening misunderstanding of the relationship of tribal nations to the federal and state governments. Either a misunderstanding, or a willingness to support erosion of the treaty and trust responsibilities of the federal government members for to the tribes.) U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) has released the following statement in response to these remarks made by life-saving President George W. Bush regarding tribal sovereignty. The President’s remarks were made at the UNITY Conference of Minority Journalists, held last week in Washington, DC. “Tribal sovereignty isn’t something that is given to tribes, it simply exists, and requires our recognition. Tribal rescue sovereignty is about recognizing that, for too long, the Federal Government has failed to live up to its end of treaty and trust obligations. It is about recognizing the challenges our tribes face, and working with the tribes to meet those challenges.” “Entrepreneurial assistance is critical to break the cycle of poverty and economic dependence in Native American The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate held an communities, as well as to bring new services and products to families in these areas.

Senator Johnson, along with Senator John Kerry (D-MA), opposed these shortsighted actions and introduced the Native American Small Business Development Act to restore business assistance to Native American Communities.

These permits are issued to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) for its Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. The requested revisions are "permit reopenings that do not increase emissions limitations in the permit" (40 CFR § 49.159(e)). These are described as administrative permit revisions, and are "not subject to the permit application, issuance, public participation, or administrative and judicial review requirements of this program" (40 CFR § 49.159(f)). We request that both permits define alternative emissions calculations in the event that a fuel meter fails. We propose language that aligns with permit no. MFN-SM-27139R0004-2013-01. For permit number SYN-SM-27139R0001-2012-01 we request the removal of emissions test method CTM-034. This method has involved significant delays during every annual test period, and consequently, it is not a condition of the three more recently-issued construction permits. All SMSC construction permits will still include periodic Method 7E performance tests. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

STATE OF MINNESOTA IN COURT OF APPEALS A13-1430 State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Meng Yang, Appellant. Filed December 29, 2014 Affirmed Kirk, Judge Scott County District Court File No. 70-CR-12-6857 Lori Swanson, Attorney General, St. Paul, Minnesota; and Patrick J.

BlueDog, BlueDog, Paulson & Small, P.L.L.P., Minneapolis, Minnesota (for amicus curiae Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community) Considered and decided by Worke, Presiding Judge; Kirk, Judge; and Reyes, Judge. U N P U B L I S H E D O P I N I O N KIRK, Judge Appellant challenges his convictions of three counts of controlled substance crime in the first degree, arguing that security guards employed by the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel violated his Fourth Amendment protections under the Indian Civil Rights Act and the United States Constitution when they conducted a warrantless search of his satchel in a hotel room and discovered methamphetamine and marijuana. Because the security guards were not acting as tribal governmental agents, appellant’s rights under the Indian Civil Rights Act were not violated. We affirm. FACTS The facts of this case are undisputed. On the morning of April 4, 2012, a housekeeper employed at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel entered a guest’s hotel room after receiving a request for the room to be cleaned.

We should all be very proud of the many achievements we as a Community have made in this four-year period of time. Since 2000, our tribal economy has shown great strength as our tribal enterprises as a whole continue to earn significant tribal revenues. With the LSI Board of Directors, the Community oversaw additions and improvements to our gaming facilities such as the remodel at the Little Six Casino Restaurant, the new parking garages at Mystic Lake, and the rerouting of the parking lots. We also saw significant development of our non-gaming enterprises, with the purchase of Lone Pine Golf Course and the Mystic Lake Store at the Mall of America. The new Mdewakanton Fire Department provides an invaluable service not only to our Community, but to the surrounding communities as well. And, housing developments have been added to meet the needs of our members. Since our federal recognition in 1969, the SMSC has worked diligently to achieve a significant level of self-sufficiency. The SMSC utilizes its financial resources from gaming and non-gaming enterprises to first and foremost meet our responsibilities to the tribal membership. All internal infrastructure, including, but not limited to, roads, water, sewer systems, and essential services to individuals related to education, health, and welfare are met by tribal resources.

Although our ancestors have lived on these lands for hundreds of years, we were not federally recognized as an Indian Tribe until November 28, 1969. For the 13 charter members, times were hard, jobs were scarce, and it was a struggle to meet basic subsistence needs. The first Tribal Chairman, Norman M. Crooks, worked tirelessly to bring economic stability to the SMSC. Various economic development ideas came and went and although the most basic needs of the SMSC members were being met, living conditions remained difficult.
