Continued from last week.

When Ottawa tried that, our people resented it. We knew that would mean the end of our government. Because we did so, the Canadian Government began to enforce all sorts of Dominion and Provincial laws over us and quartered armed men among us to enforce Canadian laws and...

By Umar Farooq. In September 2020, the Hopi Tribe's four-decade effort to secure its right to water culminated in a court proceeding. The outcome would determine how much water the arid reservation would receive over the next century and whether that amount would be enough for the tribe to pursue its economic ambitions. Under rules unique to Arizona, the tribe would have to justify how it would use every drop it wanted. The monthslong ordeal in Arizona's Superior Court unfolded in video calls...

By Isaac White After some reflection following last week’s edition, I realized that I have misled you a couple of times. Nothing serious. It’s not an offense that I think is enough for you to stop reading me. Nor do I believe it’s something grievously offensive. I believe, sadly, that it’s my talkative nature that has led to my shortcomings. I’m speaking of the times when I mention there are multiple shows or movies to talk about and I end up not getting to all of them. The reason is not malicious. Of course, I wouldn’t want to deprive you...
