American Indian student dropout rates have been on the decline—especially in Del Norte County—and the 100 students honored Tuesday exemplify that fact.

Del Norte schools and the local tribal governments held a reception for honor roll students 7th to 12th grade at Elk Valley Rancheria's community hall. Those 100 are out of 316 students enrolled in school and have a 3.0 or above grade point average.

KLAMATH — When Yurok Tribe members voted in December to keep for themselves 90 percent of more than $92 million from a settlement with the federal government, Scott Gibson saw a lot of smiles around Klamath.A 29-year-old Yurok fisherman, Gibson said the grins came from the knowledge that soon tribal members would each receive approximately $15,500. "It was almost like New Year's for everybody," Gibson said. A week after the checks were sent, the sudden influx of money was noticeable to many tribal members as they saw new cars dotthe driveways in Klamath and around the reservation.
