FBI posts fake hyperlinks to snare child porn suspects

CLICK HERE FOR CHILD PORN?

Screen snapshot: This now-defunct site is reportedly where an FBI undercover agent posted hyperlinks purporting to be illegal videos. Clicking the links brought a raid from the Feds.

The FBI has recently adopted a novel investigative technique: posting hyperlinks that purport to be illegal videos of minors having sex, and then raiding the homes of anyone willing to click on them.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar one day and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, “Who owns the big white horse outside?” The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, “I do. Why?”

BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK, S.D.

The north end of this national park bustles with roughly a million tourists a year who pull over to view and photograph the majestic canyons, spires and tables, hike the trails and learn about fossils.

The park’s mostly undeveloped and far less-traveled South Unit, which also boasts mile upon mile of moonscape-like vistas, lies within the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. In the 1940s, the federal government seized it from more than 800 American Indian families for a military bombing and gunnery range that was used until the 1960s.

In 1976, the land was returned to the Oglala Sioux Tribe, which has since co-managed it with the National Park Service.

Officials for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe believe their plans for a casino on the shore of Lake Oahe in central South Dakota will create jobs and generate essential revenue for programs on the financially strapped reservation.

The tribe is considering several casino locations, including one in Stanley County on the west side of the massive Missouri River reservoir. That location would be on tribal trust land outside of the reservation boundaries.

“It’s near the lake. It’s a beautiful location,” Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe administrative officer Harold Condon said Wednesday.

Plans already under way for 2009 Denver March

by Carol Berry

DENVER - The big March pow wow held here annually may be over for 2008, but the work of 2009 is already under way.

Grace Gillette, Arikara and executive director of the Denver March Powwow (informally known as ”Denver March”), is busy tallying, recording and planning - generally carrying out the nuts and bolts of designing and executing a major yearly event.

Part of Gillette’s post-pow wow job every year is to crunch numbers, send out vendor applications and begin the process of head staff selection for the next year, among countless other chores.

This year, there was good news and less-than-good news, the latter due to increased costs.

The 34th annual pow wow itself was a success, drawing 952 registered dancers, 1,742 dancers at the main grand entry, 34 drum groups, more than 185 arts and crafts booths, and participants and attendees from 25 countries and 49 states. Held in early spring, it is generally recognized as the kickoff event for the pow wow season nationally.

”People ask why it has been successful,” she said, theorizing that the event may accommodate ”people who have cabin fever.”

But she fundamentally attributes the pow wow’s success to the strong traditional and Christian practices of those on the five-member board of directors.

Though poverty is still an issue on American Indian reservations, tribes today are in a better position to address the problem than ever before.

Casino revenue, though not as plentiful as many believe, has given tribes the ability to pour resources into communities, said Duane Champagne, a sociology and American Indian studies professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“Gaming communities have gyms, health benefits and access to education,” he said. “Those are things people have been deprived of for a long time.”

NIGC Reports Successful Government-to-Government Consultations—However One Defines “Success”

During last week’s Great Plains/Midwest Indian Gaming Conference and Trade Show at the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s Mystic Lake Casino Hotel near Minneapolis-St. Paul, the National Indian Gaming Commission conducted government-to-government consultations with tribal leaders from the region. According to NIGC Chair Phil Hogen, the consultations allowed “ample time” for tribal delegations to discuss “anything on their minds.”

Her face black with soot, Victoria Ranua strides across a Minnesota hillside, painting it with fire. What begins as a low thin strip of yellow, ignited by her torch, leaps behind her at once into a huge hedge of dancing flames, racing across dry prairie grasses.

The process, Ms. Ranua said, helps the native plants survive against invasive species brought by Europeans. Ms. Ranua works for the casino-enriched Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. In an area southwest of Minneapolis, the group is recovering land its ancestors once lost to European settlers and returning it to age-old looks and uses.

A Minnesota Indian tribe buys up land to restore prairie

PRIOR LAKE, Minn. (AP) An American Indian tribe has purchased 125 acres of land in the Twin Cities suburbs and returned it to the way it used to look.

By the end of the year, the Shakopee Mdewakanton (SHOCK-ah-pee mid-ah-WAHK-tun) Sioux tribe hopes to begin restoring 450 more acres near the Twin Cities. Most of it is land that has been farmed since at least the 1880s.

Tribal vice chairman Glynn Crooks says the tribe holds the land in high regard and thinks it’s important to return some of it to the way it was years ago. The tribe, which has grown prosperous on the strength of Mystic Lake casino in Prior Lake, won’t disclose how much it is paying for the land.

Video’s of the Dakota’s Wakan/”Rum” River Watershed traditional/ancestral homeland

(1.) The mouth of the Wakan/”Rum” River.

This sacred Dakota river flows out of Wakan/”Mille Lacs” Lake. The Dakota call this river by the sacred name for their lake [Wakan], which translated means Spirit or Great Spirit. The Dakota had a village located at this sacred site. Around the year 1750 French “settlers”/invaders tricked a newly arrived band of Ojibwe to violently forced the Dakota from this sacred site of theirs. However, the Dakota are beginning to return to reclaim this sacred site. The Dakota name for the sacred land surrounding the mouth of this river is Mdo-te-mini-wakan, pronounced Bdoh-Tay-Mni-Wah kahn, and translated as Mouth (of river) + Water + Spirit.
