JUSTIN PRITCHARD P and SOLOMON BANDA Associated Press ETHETE, Wyo. — American Indian tribes have been caught misappropriating tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, according to internal tribal audits and other documents. But federal authorities do little about it — due to a lack of oversight, resources or political will. The result? Poor tribes like the Northern Arapaho of Wyoming suffer. One Arapaho manager pocketed money meant to buy meals for tribal elders. Another used funds from the reservation's diabetes program to sub... Full story
There isn’t a whole lot the Havre High football team can, or wants to take away from Friday’s night’s showdown in Belgrade. And the Blue Ponies know they don’t have much time to dwell on it. Instead, the Central A Ponies will look to move on and get ready for the remainder of the regular season schedule. Friday night in Belgrade, the Ponies faced the league leading Belgrade Panthers. It is still early in the conference season, but Friday’s results may have settled who will... Full story

At Havre High School, for many years, students called history teacher Jim Magera “Magical Magera.” That’s because if anyone asked him a question about Montana — today’s current events or 10,000 years back in history — he would know the answer. Many others felt the same away about the local history teacher. For years, he has been a go-to person when people have questions about Havre, Hi-Line, Montana or Native American history. Magera has retired from HHS, but he’s still in the hallways, substitute teaching. Because of a... Full story

If Ken Blatt St. Marks is sworn in as Chippewa Cree tribal chair, the tribal council will once again remove him. Then he will be prosecuted in tribal criminal court, they said. The announcement came in a release signed by interim chair Rick Morsette and the other seven council members. The council recalled that it had removed St. Marks for “gross misconduct and neglect of duty,” earlier and those charges are still true today. St. Marks has created a “political circus” on Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, the council said. St.... Full story
There is no place like home, and after another successful day by the Havre High cross country teams, the Central A Blue Ponies will be the first ones to tell you that. The Ponies get one chance to run in Havre every season. And recent history shows both the boys and girls teams run very well on their home course, located on the campus of Montana State University-Northern in Havre. Both teams finished near the top of the team standings at Saturday’s Havre Invitational, and y... Full story
After a tough loss on Thursday night, this past weekend was just what the struggling Havre High volleyball team needed to hopefully get back on track through the second half of the season. The Central A Ponies played three games this weekend and went 2-1 after a Thursday loss to CMR in Great Falls. But having a quick turnaround, the Ponies forgot about Thursday’s loss and focused up for a non-conference match against the Class B Conrad Cowgirls on Friday, and a conference r... Full story
Once again, the annual Alumni Dual turned out to be a great show. And a great way to kick off the Montana State University-Northern wrestling season. Not only did the current Lights get their first real competitive action of the young season, head coach Tyson Thivierge got to see his men wrestle, and the alumni got to come back and give back to a great program. And while it is mostly about having fun and giving back for the alumni wrestlers, it is all business for the current... Full story
There was no arguing that the 2013 Class A state golf tournament was going to be tough for the Havre Blue Ponies. Good teams, good players and a tough golf course were all part of the equation. But the Ponies certainly proved to be tough themselves over the course of the 36-hole state tournament held Friday-Saturday at Polson Bay Golf Club. The Havre High girls finished with a team total of 816 and just two strokes away from a third-place trophy. The Ponies came in just... Full story
If the scorching streak the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was going to cool off, the chances were a little higher it would happen on the Skylights’ two-match road trip to Butte and Helena this weekend. But not even quality teams like Montana Tech and Carroll College could slow the Skylights down. Northern improved to 7-0 in the Frontier Conference and 16-4 overall with dramatic wins over the Orediggers and Saints over the weekend. “It was a great wee... Full story
In back-to-back weeks against nationally-ranked opponents, on the road, the Montana State University-Northern football team came up a few plays short of a sweep. One week after knocking off then No. 15 UM-Western in Dillon, the No. 19 Lights found themselves in a dogfight with No. 16 Rocky Mountain College Saturday at Herb Klindt Field in Billings. But 10 unanswered points by the Battlin’ Bears in the fourth quarter proved too much for the Lights to overcome as Rocky won a d... Full story
MISSOULA (AP) — Jordan Johnson was quick to attribute his four-touchdown passing game Saturday to one thing — the Montana running attack. "With us establishing the run game, I knew it would help the pass protection and give me time to throw the ball," the Montana quarterback said. Travon Van and Jordan Canada each ran for more than 100 yards to propel a Grizzly ground game to 378 total yards rushing as No. 10 Montana toppled Portland State 55-27. Johnson connected for three to... Full story
