In a startling development, Warren Jones Crazybull, a resident of Idaho, has been formally accused of issuing threats against ex-President Donald Trump. These threats were allegedly made through multiple phone calls to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in sunny Florida, as revealed by official court filings. The unsettling communications occurred on July 31, a period shadowed by the recent violent attack on the Republican presidential hopeful during a Pennsylvania rally. Crazybull, 64, purportedly conveyed his intentions in no uncertain terms across nine separate calls within the day. His ominous message in the initial call chillingly directed to “Find Trump,” with Crazybull threatening...

Does it ring a bell? Interestingly, Indians are the highest-earning ethnic group in the US — ahead of people from countries like China and Japan. How many Indians are there in the US and how much are they earning? The number of people identifying as Asian in the United States nearly tripled in the past three decades, and Asians are now the fastest-growing of...

One of the protest's organizers, Rupinder Pal Singh, said he met on Friday with Jeff Young, the director of the provincial Office of Immigration.

Canadians’ wages, wealth, and productivity are falling amid a massive inflow of poor migrants, yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to expand citizenship to the foreign-born children of the migrants who take low-wage jobs from Canadians. “That’s bonkers,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “There are tens of millions of people around the world who would do [the Canadian jobs] for room and board — who would do it for free and hustle a little extra money on the side to pay for food! — if the consequence was that their kids would all be able...

Are automakers using tribal names honoring those people or appropriated their culture? Learn more about the debate and models under fire. The Washington Redskins NFL team has officially changed its name to the Washington Commanders. So what–if anything–should Jeep do about the Cherokee? What about Winnebago, the Volkswagen Touareg, and Indian Motorcycles? You may be surprised just how many cars are named after tribes. Some of these models are coming under fire as Native Americans ask automakers to reconsider their names. Which cars are named after tribes?

Every school child in Colorado is taught about the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864. On a wintry day in November of that year, an untrained and undisciplined territorial militia attacked an Indian camp near the eastern border of the territory leaving 150 to 200 dead. The tragedy has long been the subject of roiling debate about who or what was to blame. When the History Colorado Center opened a new exhibit on the event in 2012, visitors were offered competing perspectives of Indian, soldier, and settler. The exhibit was immediately assailed by native activists for not taking an exclusively “indigenous...

The left has romanticized and claimed guardianship over Native American peoples for years. Anecdotally, most of us who know Native Americans know they can't stand it. But now we are seeing a lot of instances of Native Americans pushing back at their cloying 'guardians' on the left who are starting to get overbearing. Here's their latest outrage, according to Ethan Brown, writing at RealClearEnergy:On June 2, the U.S. Department of the Interior blocked oil and gas leasing for the next twenty years within a ten-mile radius of Chaco Canyon — the site of a Puebloan civilization in now-northern New Mexico...

Discovered in 1969, the Vore Buffalo Jump in northeast Wyoming contains the bones of more than 20,000 bison that were herded into and slaughtered there by Plains Indians. The site also has tools used to butcher the bison, arrowheads and even toys. Anyone who’s driven Interstate 90 in northeast Wyoming to visit Devils Tower or the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally couldn’t miss the signs for the Vore Buffalo Jump. Most drive past, but likely not without thinking, “What the heck is a buffalo jump?” Put simply, it’s a big hole American Indians would herd buffalo into, then kill them in...

Happy Fourth of July. In honor of the occasion and to pay tribute to those who came before us, I’d like to start this essay with a land acknowledgment statement. My home sets on land first explored by English and Scots-Irish freemen who had migrated from their homeland in search of freedom and opportunity or sometimes on the run from the law. The land was settled primarily by Germans from the Palatinate , who, through their industry, created farms, pastures, and orchards where only unproductive, fallow wilderness had existed. These men and women held savage tribes at bay and together...

"When you put this uniform [on], what we want is for people to be inclusive."Ahead of the Red Sox’ series finale on Thursday night in Cleveland, Alex Cora addressed the controversy surrounding starting pitcher Matt Dermody and his homophobic tweet from 2021. Boston has drawn plenty of criticism for its decision to call up Dermody to start on Thursday after MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam reported that the Red Sox were aware of the now-deleted tweet from the 32-year-old pitcher. Dermody tweeted back in June 2021: “#PrideMonth. Homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. They will go to hell. This is...
