Food allergies among children are becoming more common. There was a 50 percent increase in the prevalence of food allergies between 1997 and 2011, according to a 2013 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. Another 2007 study found seal and whale meat caused allergic reactions among some Alaska Natives. Figuring out what to eat can be a challenge. The problem gets even more complicated with some Native Americans who have to confront poverty and food insecurity.

The conflict over the pipeline outside the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation is reaching a fever pitch. Last week saw the worst injury so far to a woman opposing the pipeline construction. Each side blames the other for the wound that might end up costing her arm. The injury came during a tense night in which law enforcement officers used a water hose, rubber bullets and tear gas against those who call themselves 'water protectors'. Both sides are asking for federal intervention. In an editorial, the New York Times asks "how can this possibly end well"?

Monday, December 5, 2016 - Fake news and trusting the media
Students from junior high on up can't tell the difference between fake news and the real deal according to a recent study from Stanford. Did you believe the story about the Pope endorsing Donald Trump. How about the one about thousands of wild buffalo suddenly appearing at the site of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest? How can we separate fact from fiction in all the digital detritus? Are we teaching our kids to ask the critical questions about where and who their information comes from?

Tuesday, December 6, 2016 - The importance of cooking
Cooking connects people with their food on a personal, nutritional and even spiritual level. But it's easy to drift away from your kitchen range when there's an ever-growing freezer section in the grocery store. The trend is clear in a two-year-old study by the marketing group, NPD: there's a steady decline in the number of people who say they don't cook. For Native Americans, there's the potential added loss of traditional practices. Should you spend more time in the kitchen?
