St. Paul writer launches new novel and talks about her process

Mona Susan Power introduces her new novel, “A Council of Dolls,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave. S., Mpls., in conversation with her friend and fellow writer Elizabeth Fletcher. They will talk about the part intuition plays in their writing practices and how some writers surrender to the mystery of a process that is accessed by a trust in the intelligence of our connection to all beings, past and present. Part of their conversation will focus on “A Council of Dolls,” longlisted for a National Book Award. Power says the book felt like a gift from her ancestors rather than a project she chose to write.

Power, who lives in St. Paul, is the author of three previous works of fiction: “The Grass Dancer” (PEN/Hemingway Prize), “Roofwalker” (Milkweed National Fiction Prize), and “Sacred Wilderness” (Electa Quinney Award). A member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, she is a graduate of Harvard College, Harvard Law School and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Elizabeth Fletcher’s fiction and nonfiction has appeared in literary journals and elsewhere.

Presented by Literary Witnesses reading series and the Eye of the Heart Center, Tuesday’s program is free and open to the public.

Torivio Fodder: The true crime story of the Osage Nation would take a century to tell

by | posted in: All news | 0

Director Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” tells the true story of a string of murders on the Osage Nation’s land in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Based on David Grann’s meticulously researched 2017 book, the movie delves into racial and family dynamics that rocked Oklahoma to the core when oil was discovered on Osage lands.

White settlers targeted members of the Osage Nation to steal their land and the riches beneath it. At least 60 Osage people were murdered or disappeared between 1921 and 1925. From a historical perspective, this crime, made possible by federal policies from the 1880s, was just the tip of the iceberg.

From the early 1800s through the 1930s, official U.S. policy displaced thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral homes through the policy known as Indian removal. And throughout the 20th century, the federal government collected billions of dollars from sales or leases of natural resources such as timber, oil and gas on Indian lands, money it was supposed to disburse to the land’s owners. But it failed to account for these trust funds for decades, let alone pay Indians what they were due.

I have roots in the Comanche, Kiowa, Cherokee and Taos Pueblo tribes, and from my perspective, this story of murder on Osage lands is just one small chapter in the much larger story of an entire nation built on land theft and stolen wealth.

In the standard telling, the American West was populated by industrious settlers who eked out livings on desolate land, formed communities and cities and, in time, created states. Most Americans still know little or nothing about the hundreds of Native nations who already lived on those lands, each with their own unique forms of government, culture and language.

In the early 1800s, Eastern cities were growing and dense urban centers were becoming unwieldy, and Indian lands in the West were seen as a solution. Starting in the 1830s, Congress pressured Indian tribes in the East to sign treaties that required the tribes to move to reservations in the West. This took place over the objections of figures such as Tennessee frontiersman and congressman Davy Crockett, humanitarian organizations and, of course, the tribes themselves.

Forced removal touched every tribe east of the Mississippi River and several tribes to the west of it. In total, about 100,000 American Indians were removed from their Eastern homelands to Western reservations.

But the most pernicious land grab was yet to come.

Even after Indians were corralled on reservations, settlers pushed for more access to Western lands. In 1871, Congress formally ended the policy of treaty-making with Indians. Then, in 1887, it passed the General Allotment Act, also known as the Dawes Act. With this law, U.S. policy toward Indians shifted from separation to assimilation — forcibly integrating Indians into the national population.

This required transitioning tribal structures of communal land ownership under a reservation system to a private property model that broke up reservations altogether. The General Allotment Act was designed to divvy up reservation lands into allotments for individual Indians and open any unallotted lands, which were deemed surplus, to non-Indian settlement. Lands could be allotted only to male heads of households.

Under the original statute, the U.S. government held Indian allotments, which measured roughly 160 acres per person, in trust for 25 years before each Indian allottee could receive clear title. During this period, Indian allottees were expected to embrace agriculture, convert to Christianity and assume U.S. citizenship.

In 1906, Congress amended the law to allow the secretary of the Interior to issue land titles whenever an Indian allottee was deemed capable of managing his affairs. Once this happened, the allotment was subject to taxation and could immediately be sold.

But Indian allottees often had little concept of farming and even less ability to manage their individual lands. Even after being confined to Western reservations, many tribes had maintained their traditional governance structures and tried to preserve their cultural and religious practices, including communal ownership of property.

When the U.S. government imposed a foreign system of ownership on them, many Indian landowners simply sold their lands to non-Indian buyers, or found themselves subject to taxes that they were unable to pay.

In total, allotment removed 90 million acres of land from Indian control before the policy ended in the mid-1930s. This led to the destruction of Indian culture; loss of language as the federal government implemented its boarding school policy; and imposition of a myriad of regulations that affected inheritance, ownership and title disputes when an allottee passed away. All of these destructive policies were forced on the Osage people.

Today, about 56 million acres remain under Indian control. The federal government owns title to the lands, but holds them in trust for Indian tribes and individuals.

These lands contain many valuable resources, including oil, gas, timber and minerals. But rather than acting as a steward of Indian interests in these resources, the U.S. government has repeatedly failed in its trust obligations.

As required under the General Allotment Act, money earned from oil and gas exploration, mining and other activities on allotted Indian lands was placed in individual accounts for the benefit of Indian allottees.

But for over a century, rather than making payments to Indian landowners, the government routinely mismanaged those funds, failed to provide a court-ordered accounting of them and systematically destroyed disbursement records.

In 1996, Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, filed a class-action lawsuit seeking to force the government to provide a historical accounting of these funds and fix its failed system for managing them. After 16 years of litigation, the suit was settled in 2009 for roughly $3.4 billion (direct payments to each member of the class amounted to $1,000).

“We all know that the settlement is inadequate, but we must also find a way to heal the wounds and bring some measure of restitution,” said Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians.

In 2011, the federal government settled for $380 million a longstanding lawsuit brought by the Osage Nation to compensate the tribe for losses to its trust funds and interest as a result of the government’s mismanagement of trust assets. In truth, that amount doesn’t come close to full reparations for the crimes committed against the Osage people by the government over two centuries.

Sources project value for Patriots’ trade deadline candidates

by | posted in: sport | 0

There’s not much left to salvage for the Patriots this season less than two weeks out from the NFL trade deadline.

At 1-5, ravaged by injuries and underdogs in their next two games, the Patriots are obvious sellers ahead of the Halloween deadline. And they know it.

“Given where we are, if I’m another team, I’d be calling on the availability of all of our upcoming free agents,” a source said.

And the Patriots are willing to listen to offers ahead of the trade deadline, per sources.

Patriots-Bills injury report: Bill Belichick lists 16 players as questionable for Sunday

The Patriots should be looking to acquire draft capital in the event they could move up for a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft as Mac Jones continues to struggle under center.

So, let’s take a look at some of the Patriots players in contract years and assess their value with the help of team and league sources.

OLB Josh Uche

Uche, 25, is the most logical trade candidate on the roster. Another team would value Uche, a situational pass rusher, more heavily than the Patriots.

Pass rushers get paid a premium, and the Patriots historically have not invested in players who cannot contribute on all three downs. Even with other edge defenders on the roster injured, Uche is 16th on the team in defensive snaps but leads the Patriots with 17 pressures.

One league source called Uche one of the Patriots’ best trade pieces. Most sources polled believe teams would offer a third- or fourth-round pick for the former Michigan defender. One source specifically projected a team offering a third-round pick for Uche and a fifth- or sixth-rounder, while another believed a second-round pick for Uche and a fourth- or fifth-round selection would be fair. One source believed Uche could be valued as highly as a third-round pick if the acquiring team wanted to sign him to an extension and he was amenable to that.

The biggest issue is that he’s injured and being held out of practice with knee and foot injuries.

Value: Third/fourth-round pick

S Kyle Dugger

Dugger was another player pegged as one of the Patriots’ most valuable trade assets. No one polled placed a value lower than a third-round pick on Dugger, a versatile safety who has proven to be a playmaker in the past. One league source believed Dugger would be worth a second-round pick if the acquiring team believed a contract extension was likely.

Sources believed the Patriots could get offers anywhere from the first to the third round for Dugger. Belichick places a high value on safeties, and there’s a lack of certainty at that position on the roster on the roster in the future.

Would the Patriots consider franchising Dugger, 27, if they can’t reach a long-term deal?

The idea of trading Dugger didn’t seem unreasonable from team sources polled.

Value: Second-round pick

G Mike Onwenu

Onwenu was viewed as the Patriots’ best offensive lineman heading into the season, but injuries and penalties have led to a disappointing start.

Onwenu, 25, has positional versatility at guard and right tackle. Team and league sources believe other franchises would offer anywhere from a third- to fifth-round pick in a deal for Onwenu. It’s hard to gauge how much money Onwenu could command on the open market, but the Patriots are set to enter the 2024 offseason with the most salary-cap space in the NFL.

One source noted it’s uncommon for a starting offensive lineman to be traded at the deadline because it can be difficult for an offensive lineman to come in and start at midseason.

Value: Fourth-round pick

WR Kendrick Bourne

Bourne, 28, has drawn trade interest in the past. He’s currently the Patriots’ best wide receiver with 28 catches for 307 yards with two touchdowns, and he’s coming off of a 10-catch, 89-yard performance in a Week 6 loss to the Raiders.

One source believed Bourne could be worth as much as a third-round pick. Most other sources placed his value around the fifth or sixth rounds.

Value: Fifth-round pick

TE Mike Gesicki

The undersized tight end didn’t have a major market in free agency, signing a one-year contract worth $4.5 million with incentives. Gesicki, 28, hasn’t made a major impact, catching 15 passes for 144 yards through six games in a Patriots uniform.

Franchised by the Dolphins just one year ago, Gesicki’s value has plummeted since. Sources believe the Patriots could be offered anything from a sixth-round pick to a late-round pick swap for Gesicki.

Value: Seventh-round pick

S Jalen Mills

Mills, 29, moved from cornerback back to safety this offseason and has seen his snap count nosedive.

One source believed Mills has no trade value whatsoever. Another source thought a team would offer a future seventh-round pick, at best. A third source said a team could offer a “very late-round pick swap.”

Value: Future seventh-round pick

QB Mac Jones

This is the trickiest one. The most damning response: “No trade value.”

One team source believed a trade would only work on paper if he was included in a deal for another quarterback — Kirk Cousins was used as an example — “where (Jones) can’t be here anymore, and they just want someone to take snaps for them the rest of the way.”

Another league source also mentioned the Vikings as a potential destination.

“Mid-round pick?” he estimated. “It just depends on a team that needs QB in the future but doesn’t think they will be picking high enough. Maybe Minnesota if Cousins isn’t in their plans?”
