Spanish authorities said Robideau an American Indian Movement member when the deadly shootout occurred in South Dakota died this week as an apparent result of seizures The (Portland) regonian said. The suspected seizures behind Robideau’s death on Tuesday may have been related to shrapnel the activist had in his head since a 1975 accident. Robideau was wounded months after the deadly 1975 shootout at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when ammunition exploded inside a car he was driving. Following the incident Robideau was arrested and placed on trial in the killing of two FBI agents on the Indian reservation in June 1975.

Preserving Black History Month Part 2 by George E Curry

February is Black History Month March has been designated Women?s History Month May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Hispanic Heritage Month begins on Sept. 15 and November is observed as American Indian Heritage Month. Therefore to single out the elimination of Black History Month while continuing the other observations is ludicrous. To recommend that all be eliminated is equally foolish. As the nation grows increasingly diverse ? by the year 2040 Whites will become a minority in the United States ? I offer a different proposal. Instead of eliminating designated national observations such as Black History Month let?s make an effort to learn more about the groups being celebrated at different times throughout the year.

Local communities would receive 2 percent of slot machine revenues generated by the casino a standard take for cities and townships to offset increased law enforcement and other costs associated with a new casino. The state would receive 8 percent of the tribe’s slot machine revenues on the first $150 million made. The 8 percent figure also has been standard for other American Indian casinos in Michigan. In the deal with the Gun Lake tribe however the state’s revenue share would jump to 10 percent after $150 million in slot proceeds and to 12 percent after $300 million. The tiered take has the potential to generate a much larger jackpot for Michigan than previous arrangements. In addition the compact would narrow the conditions under which tribal payments to the state could be cut off. The payments would cease if any other casino begins operation in a surrounding market area comprised of the counties of Kent Allegan Barry Calhoun Eaton Ingham Ionia Kalamazoo and ttawa.
