BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) The BisMan Community Food Cooperative had a ceremony recently celebrating five years of providing local food to the area, but financial issues put a damper on the food, live music and other festivities, General Manager Shirley Reese said.
“It should be a time of absolute celebration but we have to think through how we’re going to get through another five years,” she said. “It’s a reality check for every member owner. Do we want to see this continue for another five years or do we want to say there are no more food co-ops in North Dakota?”
"The court acknowledges the tribes plight, as well as their understandable frustration with a political process in which they all too often seem to come up just short."
