In 2016, she joined the inaugural class of inductees into the North Dakota Native American Hall of Honor. Today we share the audio from a piece produced by Makoche studios of Bismarck to highlight the honorees. We hear from Dr. David Gipp, Dennis Neuman, and Avis Little Eagle. ~~~ The Minnesota State Auctioneer Association held its 30th annual meeting recently in Moorhead – complete with an auction competition. Ashley Thornberg couldn’t resist checking out that contest. ~~~ Minot State University professor Hasan Buker and student Mandy Herberholz join us to discuss “Sex Offenders in Prisons.” That’s the title of their contribution to a new book titled “Lockdown Nation: An Encyclopedia of Controversies and Trends in American Prisons.”
