Update

Jamestown  (National Buffalo Museum)  – The National Buffalo Museum has been awarded a Cultural Heritage Grant from the State Historical Society of North Dakota for $36,000 to inventory, evaluate, and care for the museum’s collection. Rachel Johnson, the museum’s Assistant Director/Curator of Collections will head the project.

The News Release states:  The grant will fund a full-time contracted position to inventory and document the objects housed at the museum. The Museum will match grant funds through staff and volunteer time, computer and network improvements in the building, and the established collections care budget.

Museum Dirctor Ilana Xinos says, “We are so thankful to the State Historical Society of North Dakota for awarding us these funds. The National Buffalo Museum is growing, and this project supports that growth. In the past, our museum – like many small museums – did not have the capacity to undertake this type of collections project and we just did the best we could with what we had. It is exciting to see that as we grow, we are able to make proper stewardship of our collection a priority.”

The National Buffalo Museum’s mission is to advocate for the restoration of the North American bison through education and outreach. The Museum opened in 1993 to address the need for a facility to house and display accumulated bison-related artifacts, artwork, and historical memorabilia. The Museum is home to the Buffalo Hall of Fame, where visitors learn about the individuals who have had significant impacts on conservation and restoration of the US National Mammal.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A freshman congressman from North Dakota who spent much of his first term defending President Donald Trump during impeachment hearings says he wants to return to Washington and work on practical issues. Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong formally announced his re-election bid Monday by telling supporters in Fargo he’ll work with Democrats on some issues, like prescription drug prices, immigration and criminal justice reform. The state’s lone House member says he won’t budge on support for gun rights and opposition to abortion and federal regulations that would stifle North Dakota industry like energy and agriculture.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — More than 300 American cruise ship passengers, including 14 who tested positive for coronavirus, are being quarantined at military bases in California and Texas after arriving from Japan on charter flights overnight. One plane carrying cruise passengers touched down at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California just before midnight Sunday. Another arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas early Monday. The passengers will be quarantined at the bases for two weeks. Japan’s defense minister tweeted earlier that Japanese troops helped transport 340 U.S. passengers from the port to Tokyo’s airport. About 380 Americans were on the cruise ship.

Beijing (AP) — “Minor religious infection.” “Thinking is hard to grasp.” “Disturbs other persons by visiting them without reason.” These are among the reasons listed for the detention of hundreds of Uighurs in detention camps in China’s far west, revealed in a leaked database. It shows how the Chinese government has effectively criminalized individuals and entire families for practicing their faith — tracking, recording, and marking as suspicious ordinary religious activities like praying, attending a mosque, or even growing a long beard.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Billionaire Mike Bloomberg is taking lots of heat from his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. On Monday, he answered in kind. The former New York mayor tweeted a video mashup of aggressive and threatening comments made by people who appear to be Bernie Sanders supporters, juxtaposed with Sanders calling for “civil discourse.” Bloomberg said such aggression won’t give Democrats the unity they need to beat President Donald Trump. Bloomberg isn’t contesting the Nevada caucuses next weekend. But he may be on the cusp of qualifying for the debate Wednesday. Sanders, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg have made it clear they’d like to get him on the stage.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Days and days of heavy rain have forced authorities managing dams in Mississippi and Tennessee to release more water, worsening the flooding for people living downstream. Mississippi’s governor is telling people not to return to their flooded homes until they get an official OK, especially with more rain in the forecast. Dramatic video by a Tennessee fire department captured houses tumbling down a bluff over the Tennessee River. Entire neighborhoods have disappeared in the muddy flood waters below the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Pickwick Reservoir. And in Mississippi, authorities say as many as 1,000 homes have been flooded.
