>> I BELIEVE THAT AFFORDABILITY IS MORE THAN JUST A BUZZ WORD AND IT'S MORE THAN JUST DOLLARS AND CENTS.

IT'S ABOUT SECURITY, DIGNITY, AND OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY.

THAT'S WHY I AM COMMITTED TO TACKLING THE HOUSING CRISIS, ENSURING THAT HEALTH CARE IS ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYBODY, THAT PEOPLE THAT NEED MENTAL HEALTH CARE, PEOPLE THAT NEED CHILDCARE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS IT FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND TOGETHER, I THINK WE CAN BUILD A FUTURE WHERE EVERY FAMILY IN THE DISTRICT CAN THRIVE.

>> Reporter: U.S.

CONSUMERS SPEND $11.8 BILLION ONLINE THIS BLACK FRIDAY, WITH AN ESTIMATED $14.2 BILLION MORE EXPECTED TO BE SPENT ON CYBER MONDAY, ACCORDING TO ADOBE ANALYTICS.

>> Reporter: THIS FIVE DAY PERIOD IS SIGNIFICANT FOR RETAILERS.

>> Reporter: MONEY GOING INTO ONLINE SHOPPING CARTS COULD REACH NEW HEIGHT THIS YEAR BUT CONSUMER EXPERTS WARN THAT PEOPLE MAY BE BUYING LESS AND THE HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS ARE DUE TO THE IMPACT OF TARIFFS AND HIGHER PRICES FROM INFLATION.

>> WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT THE NUMBER OF ITEMS PURCHASED IS DOWN BUT PRICES ARE HIGHER.

AVERAGE SELLING PRICES ARE HIGHER, SO WE'RE SEEING THE INCREASE IN SPENDING DUE TO THAT INFLATION.

>> Reporter: NATIONAL CONSUMER EXPERT CLAUDIA SAYS WHO IS SPENDING THEIR MONEY IS ANOTHER THING TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

>> THOSE HIGHER INCOME ARE SPENDING AT WILL.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY IT'S PART OF THE K-SHAPED ECONOMY.

>> THAT FUNNY LOOKING CAPITAL LETTER, A BIT THAT GOES UP, A BIT THAT GOES DOWN.

>> Reporter: HIGHER EARNERS ARE GETTING A BOOST FROM STOCK MARKET INVESTMENTS AND LOWER EARNERS ARE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

REPORTER MILES WALKER HAS MORE, ON THE MUSEUM'S RECENT EXHIBIT WHY TREATIES MATTER.

>> Reporter: PRIOR TO A SERIES OF TREATIES SIGNED IN THE 1800s, MINNESOTA, WHICH BECAME A STATE IN 1858, WAS PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF THE OJIBWA AND DAKOTA TRIBES.

>> THEY LIVED IN A VERY HARMONIOUS WAY AND THEY ALWAYS HELPED EACH OTHER.

THEY ALWAYS GAVE.

>> WE TRADED AND WE HAD CONFLICTS, DAKOTA AND OJIBWA CONFLICTS BECAUSE OF TRYING TO ACQUIRE RESOURCES TO SURVIVE.

>> Reporter: EUROPEANS SOUGHT TREATIES FOR RESOURCES, ONE AS THE DAKOTA TRIBE CONTROLLED THE FUR TRADE AT THAT TIME.

THAT ONLY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE AS MONEY, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, RESERVATIONS WERE ALSO AMONG THE RESOURCES EXCHANGED.

>> THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE OURSELVES MORE.

ALL OF THE RESOURCES ARE REASONS WHY PEOPLE LIVED HERE FOR CENTURIES.

>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT USED THEIR STRONG ARM AND THREATS TO GET WHAT THEY NEEDED.

THE TRIBES HAD OFTEN TIME HAD TO GIVE IN BECAUSE THEY WERE STARVED.

>> Reporter: THE EXHIBIT SHOWCASES THE RELATIONSHIPS AND CULTURE OF THE DAKOTA AND OJIBWA TRIBES, AS BOTH CAME TO BE FROM AN INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF PLACE, FROM PERSONAL, LOCAL CONNECTIONS, AMONG PEOPLE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.

>> ONE OF THE FIRST RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU HAVE IS WITH YOUR GRANDPARENTS AS A CHILD.

WE CALLED EACH OTHER, IN MODERN TIMES, IT MEANS WHO I AM CONNECTED TO.

I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP AND THOSE RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU HAVE, YOU KNEW EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: AFTER A CENTURY OF HARDSHIP, 11 FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBAL NATIONS NOW STAND IN MINNESOTA, WHICH ARE EACH THEIR OWN SOVEREIGN NATIONS THAT IS NOT PART OF THE STATE NOR THE COUNTRY.

>> WE HAVE BEEN HERE.

THOSE MAY CONTINUE MAINLY IN EASTERN MINNESOTA AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

OVERALL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL SEE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

HEADING INTO TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME MORE SNOW IN THE AREA IN PARTS OF NORTHWEST MINNESOTA COULD SEE AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION.

ARLENE SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE BLUEBERRY RIVER TODAY, AND GARY SPOTTING A WOODPECKER IN THE YARD.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, WE WILL BE SEEING CLOUDS INCREASE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY AND WE'LL START TO SEE SOME MAINLY SNOW SHOWERS MOVING INTO NORTHWEST MINNESOTA AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

THOSE WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW NIGHT.

TEMPERATURE-WISE TOMORROW, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE HIGHS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20s ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA AND HEADING INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, WE SHOULD SEE THE TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW TO MID-20s.

SO HERE'S OUR FORECAST, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT, LOWS NEAR 2.

TOMORROW, SKIES ARE BECOMING MOSTLY CLOUDY, SNOW IS LIKELY IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA, WHERE WE COULD SEE AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION.

THERE IS A SMALLER CHANCE OF SNOW ELSEWHERE IN THE AFTERNOON, HIGHS NEAR 20.

THAT SNOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW NIGHT AND A COLD FRONT WILL HAVE MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES MIDWEEK, HIGHS NEAR 9, AND THE OVERNIGHT LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 15 BELOW 0.

HIGHS IN THE TEENS AND 20s AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: THANKS STACY.

CHARLIE IS HERE NOW AND WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM BSU MEN'S HOCKEY AND NORTH DAKOTA.

>> Charlie: YEAH, THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA.

THEY HAD A HOME ON HOME SERIES.

ALWAYS A GREAT RIVALRY OVER THANKSGIVING WEEKEND AND I HAD A CHANCE TO GO TO THE GAME ON FRIDAY AND GET HIGHLIGHTS FROM SATURDAY'S GAME AS WELL.

WE HAVE THAT AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEKEND COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >>> BSU MEN'S HOCKEY TOOK A BREAK FROM CONFERENCE PLAY FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND TO FACE RIVAL NORTH DAKOTA.

AFTER STARTING THE SEASON 2-AND-4, BEMIDJI STATE WENT 7-1-2 OVER THEIR LAST 10 GAMES COMING INTO THE SERIES.

A BIG REASON FOR THE TURNAROUND WAS IMPROVED SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY, GOING FROM 68 TO 89-PERCENT ON THE PENALTY KILL, AND FROM 18 TO 26-PERCENT ON THEIR POWER PLAY SCORING.

IT WOULD PROVE TO BE A BIG PART OF THIS PAST WEEKEND'S RESULTS AS WELL, WE START WITH THE BEAVERS HOSTING THE FIGHTING HAWKS ON FRIDAY.

BSU WOULD STRIKE FIRST, MIDWAY THROUGH THE FIRST, CONNOR MCCLENNON OFF THE FEED FROM MAX NAMESTNIKOV, FOR HIS 8TH OF THE SEASON, 1-0 BEAVS.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER, U.N.D.

WOULD FIND A WAY TO EVEN THE SCORE, BEN STRINDEN LIGHTS THE LAMP, WE WERE TIED AT ONE AT THE BREAK.

IN THE SECOND, IT WAS A SCORING FRENZY, WILL ZELLERS ONE TIMER FINDS NYLON ON THE NORTH DAKOTA POWER PLAY AND THEY TAKE THE LEAD 2-1.

BEAVERS WOULD ANSWER BACK JUST A MINUTE LATER, MR.

MCLANE, YIPPEE KIYAA, JAKE MCLANE'S 4TH GOAL OF THE YEAR KNOTS THINGS AT TWO.

THEN, IT'S A BEAVS POWER PLAY, BUT IT'S A FIGHTING HAWKS GOAL, DYLAN JAMES WITH THE SHORTY PUTS U.N.D.

BACK IN FRONT 3-2.

BUT BEMIDJI STATE ANSWERS AGAIN, THIS TIME OFF THE STICK OF FRESHMAN MAXON VIG, THE MONTREAL CANADIEN'S 7TH ROUND DRAFT PICK TIES IT AT THREE.

AND WE'RE STILL IN THE SECOND PERIOD, NORTH DAKOTA, BACK ON THE POWER PLAY, CADE LITTLER DEFLECTS ABRAM WEEB'S SHOT TO THE BACK OF THE NET, MADE IT 4-3.

U.N.D.

WOULD TACK ON AN EMPTY NETTER IN THE THIRD AS THEY DOWNED BSU, 5-3.

SPECIAL TEAMS THE NAME OF THE GAME ONCE AGAIN, BEAVERS JUST 2-FOR-5 ON THE PENALTY KILL, BUT 0-FOR-4 ON THEIR OWN POWER PLAYS, SOMETHING THEY EMPHASIZED AFTER THE GAME.

>> I'M NOT TOO PUMPED UP ABOUT GIVING UP TWO POWER PLAY GOALS AND A SHORTHANDED GOAL.

WE WERE FINE, WE HAD 3 GOALS, 5 ON 5, THAT'S WHAT BROKE OUR BACK.

ARE SOME OF THOSE THINGS FIXABLE?

THE BOTTOM-LINE IS THAT WE DIDN'T FIX THEM TONIGHT.

>> IF WE GO DOWN A COUPLE, WE CAN GET THEM BACK.

WITH THIS TOO MANY TOP TO BOTTOM, I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, IF WE CAN SHORE UP THE OTHER SIDE, I KNOW WE HAVE THE FIRE POWER TO PUT THEM IN.

>> WELL ON SATURDAY, THE SERIES WOULD MOVE TO RALPH ENGLESTAD ARENA IN GRAND FORKS, AND BEMIDJI STATE SOLVED THEIR SPECIAL TEAMS PROBLEM BY STAYING OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX.

WITH 5-ON-5 PLAY IT WASN'T UNTIL MIDWAY THROUGH THE SECOND THAT BEN STRINDEN BREAKS THE ICE FOR NORTH DAKOTA.

LATER IN THE PERIOD, KASPER MAGNASSUN, THREADING THE NEEDLE TO TIE THE GAME, IT WOULD GO TO OVERTIME.

BUT IT WAS THERE THAT BEMIDJI STATE WOULD COMMIT THEIR FIRST PENALTY OF THE NIGHT, AND SUBSEQUENTLY SURRENDER THE GAME WINNER TO WILL ZELLERS.

SPECIAL TEAMS REARING IT'S UGLY HEAD AT THE WORST TIME, IN FAIRNESS AN OVERTIME POWER PLAY IS 4-ON-3, NOT 5-ON-4 SO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BUT A LOSS ALL THE SAME IN THE RECORD BOOKS.

BSU HITS THE ROAD NEXT WEEKEND FOR THEIR FINAL SERIES OF 2025 WHEN THEY RETURN TO CCHA PLAY AGAINST AUGUSTANA.

>>> A FEW MORE SCORES, MEN'S BASKETBALL THEY SPLIT THEIR GAME IN FLORIDA, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL DOING THE SAME THING.

ALSO ON SATURDAY, FANTASTIC HIGH SCHOOL BOYS HOCKEY GAME, BEMIDJI HOSTING WARROAD.

BOTH TEAMS ARE COMING OFF A LOST.

FIRST PERIOD, NO SCORE.

NATHAN FINDS TAVON, IT'S 1-0 LUMBERJACKS AFTER 1.

IN THE SECOND, A REBOUND FOR THE GOAL, GAME WAS TIED AT THE SECOND BREAK, AND THEN IN THE THIRD, I KNOW YOU HEARD THIS LAST NAME, INTRODUCING MOONY, THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF JASON, THEY BEAT BEMIDJI, 3-1.

THE WARRIORS IMPROVE 1-2.

GIRLS HOCKEY WITH A WIN OVER SAINT MARGARETS AFTER BEATING WARROAD, THE GAME PRIOR.

THEY ARE 7-0 TO START THE SEASON.

>>> SOME SCORES FROM TODAY, BRAINERD BEATS SAUK RAPIDS RICE.
