...This amounts to cultural and economic genocide," says Ada Deer, Assistant Secretary of the Interior and head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A ferocious appropriations bill passed last month by the Senate, outdoing an only slightly less severe offering by the House, slashes the bureau's $1.7 billion budget a third. Deer has announced that the BIA may lay off up to 4,000 of its 12,000 employees by month's end, the most drastic personnel cut currently being contemplated by any federal agency. Just as important, the Senate bill targets moneys that bulwark greater tribal autonomy. Says...
Language of genocide is overused in American ethnic politics, but in this case, the rhetoric of Deer and Russo was echoed by that of Senator John McCain. The Senator is a longtime supporter of Native Americans but also a card-carrying conservative Republican. Says he: "The Indians are taking it in the neck." This week representatives of more than 200 tribes will flood the nation's capital in a last-ditch attempt to influence the conference that will reconcile the House and Senate versions of the cuts. But unless they provoke a huge public outcry, most of the cuts will...

...pristine watershed. When told that the outside world views their forests as empty, four Udege hunters laugh uproariously. They argue that too many people are already using the forest. A study shows that only half the watershed's nearly 5,000 sq. mi. of forest produces enough sable, deer and elk to support hunters. And a single tribal hunter must roam a territory as large as 75 sq. mi.--about the size of the Caribbean island of Aruba--to trap enough fur and hunt enough meat to live on. That allowance is calculated to provide wildlife the space and opportunity...
...believed that Ehrlichia attacked only dogs and horses, now know that at least two species of Ehrlichia can infect humans. One causes HGE, and the other causes a disease called monocytic Ehrlichiosis, a flulike illness first identified in the western hemisphere nine years ago. HGE is spread by the deer tick in Northern states, while monocytic Ehrlichiosis is a mostly Southern syndrome that travels in the Lone Star tick. The disease is found in 30 states, including Texas and Oklahoma. More than 400 cases of monocytic Ehrlichiosis, nine of them fatal, have been documented since the mid-'80s. Unfortunately...
