But Helen Parker, who has taught Cree at Rocky Boy for nearly three decades, says Standing Rock is off base. She said there is no B sound in the Cree language. There is a word "opama", she said. “But it means thigh, not buttocks,” she said. “I was surprised he would say that because he is a Cree speaker,” she said. ...

In May, Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials told the board that fishermen had been complaining they were being charged a fee to go fishing.

The officials said that, under state law, they cannot stock fish at locations where an access fee is charged. Board member Robbie Lucke...
