Nation said ‘yes, we want to be a part of this’ because it’s about the protection of natu-ral resources. What better people could you reach out to and ask to partner with that than the Indigenous Peoples of this area.”

Day of Restoration was October 14 and county resi-dents worked with the lands and with the arts.

The day began at Maa Wakacak (formerly known as Badger Property) and at-tendees gathered seeds from the prairie. Ho-Chunk Na-tion Environmental Services Program Manager Randy Poelma organized and edu-cated the group on restoring the prairie grass.

Then a community mural painting took place at the House of Wellness. Ho-Chunk artist Kelly Logan created a mural painting of a young Chief Yellow Thun-der and participation from the community and children completed the mural with painting of the flowers. The artist painted his rendition based on two photos of an elderly Chief Yellow Thun-der and included Yellow Thunder’s wife at his side. An interpretive panel with pictures and text describ-

ing Chief Yellow Thunder’s legacy was also on display.

Chief Yellow Thunder purchased 40 acres in the early 1800s as a way for the Ho-Chunk people to return to Wisconsin. A memorial is located on Highway A and was constructed by the His-torical Society in 1909.

Next, Oak Savanna Res-toration took place at White Mound Park. Savannas are defined in terms of the openness of the tree canopy, allowing grasses and other

vegetation to grow. Prior to European settlement, the oak savannah was one of the most common ecosystems in the Midwestern North Amer-ica but today, it is one of the rarest plant communities on Earth. A degraded oak savanna remains in White Mound Park and participants were invited to hike The Willie Walsh Nature Trail and prune vegetation. Sauk County Parks and Recre-ations Manager Matt Stieve led the group hike.

The Willie Walsh Nature Trail winds through the oak savannah in White Mound Park and several metal benches are available for visitors’ use. The Ho-Chunk Nation funded the trail and benches, the Welding Class of 2016 from the Reedsburg Area High School con-structed the benches, Wis-consin Metals donated the metal, and Sauk County Two Wheelers hauled the benches to their locations on the trail.

Sauk County, in collaboration with the Ho-Chunk Nation, established the first annual Indigenous People’s Day. The County recognized and promoted contributions of Indig-enous Peoples to our county, state, and nation during various events.

“Sauk County has the honor of devoting three days to Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” said Sauk County Board Chairman Peter Vedro.

One day was dedicated to Restora-tion, one to Celebration, and one to Commemoration.

‘One Sauk, Naturally’ motto was adopted by Sauk County, its five municipalities, and the Ho-Chunk Nation.

Chairman Vedro stated, “Our focus is protecting our natural resources, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the Earth we walk on, and all the aspects that support life.”

Ho-Chunk Nation District 2 Representative Kristin WhiteEagle added, “One Sauk, Naturally was generated and initiated by Sauk County and they reached out to the Ho-Chunk Nation. The Ho-Chunk

On October 4th, Ho-Chunk Nation tribal member Scott Kingswan and the Morrissey crew got ready for the 50th Oktoberfest Race Weekend in West Salem, Wisconsin.

Andrew Morrissey is a driv-er from Deforest, Wisconsin who has been racing his entire life. Andrew took home the trophy for the 2018 Oktober-fest 200 at the Lacrosse Fair-grounds Speedway. Scott has been a part of the Morrissey

crew since 2016. “It all started when Andrew

offered to help and build me a chassis,” said Kingswan. “While this was taking place I thought I could learn about racing if could get more hands on by putting time in at the shop and tracks with Andrew and his crew.”

Scott and his crew have many responsibilities on and off the track when it comes to racing. These duties include preparation and maintenance of the car before, during and

after the race. The final race for the ARCA

Midwest Tour was the most exciting event of the day for Oktoberfesters. Driver An-drew Morrissey qualified 3rd and finished 6th in the Okto-

berfest 200-lap ARCA Mid-west Tour.

“This is not an individual sport, and requires a team of very knowledgeable people to succeed,” said Kingswan. “This sport is not a bunch

of ‘rednecks’ just turning left like the days of thunder movie. It is very complex and there is a lot of engineering involved.”

On the weekend of August 2, 2019, a Wisconsin Prop-pants mine in Hixton, ex-perienced a spill of process water and sediment. A pump malfunction caused the re-moval of very fine particulate/sediment from a tailings pond through an irrigation canal. That sediment built up in the irrigation canal, causing a blockage and leakage into an adjacent wetland. The Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature met with officials of the Wiscon-sin DNR to follow up on the incident, the response, and to determine if any enforcement actions have been taken.

The response began on Sat-urday, when a transport opera-tor noticed the stream water was cloudy at a point near the Trempealeau River. An emer-

gency response was mounted by the mine operation man-agement. At that same time, the WDNR was notified via spill tip line and a warden re-sponded to the scene.

The WDNR has been advis-ing the mine operators on the remediation of the spill, in-cluding the reclamation of the sediment and a revision to its operations. The mine engages a third party firm that collects and analyzes the water quality and sediment. They test for acrylamide and metals; some heavy metals were found in the sediment but the WDNR does not believe any metals have entered the environment. According to the WDNR, the heavy metals were able to be reclaimed along with the sedi-ment.

The WDNR is currently making a determination on whether the spill response has been adequately resolved or more remediation must be

done. They also have not de-termined whether to levy any fines or legal actions.

Generally, the WDNR does not oversee reclamation after all mining activity has ceased, as it is a local function to be completed in accordance with the permit process. The WDNR maintains minimal oversight on the erosion con-trol aspect, believing the site to be reclaimed fully when it achieves a 70% uniform veg-etative cover.

“Most of the non-metallic mine reclamation is handled at the county level,” said Matt Thompson, a hydrogeologist with the DNR’s Remediation and Redevelopment Program. “The department’s perspective is that the site gets stabilized in a way that it’s not continu-ing to erode.”

That seeding process is gov-erned only by local controls and there are no other pro-tections for invasive species

except the rare occasion when local protections exist.

The WDNR has not re-voked any mining permits. They reason that political pressure is insurmountable, even if the actions of a mine operator would be cause for permit revocation. “We need to hold the Wisconsin DNR

accountable for keeping our air and water clean,” said Vice President Karena Thunder-cloud, “regardless of the busi-ness and political ties of the mining companies.”

Tribal members may report a spill using the WDNR Spill Hotline 24 hours a day at 800-943-0003.

Green Bay City Hall wel-comed local Tribes to share in the city’s proclamation of Indigenous Day. Mayor Eric Genrich invited representa-tives from the Ho-Chunk Nation, the Menominee Na-tion and the Oneida Nation to attend the proclamation sign-ing. The city of Green Bay is home to many members of Wisconsin’s tribes and shares a border with the Oneida res-

ervation.The audience section was

full of young and old. Ho-Chunk Nation District III Representative Darren Brin-egar delivered a statement on behalf of the Nation soon after Mayor Genrich officially signed the proclamation. Rep-resentative Brinegar spoke about our historical roots in Green Bay and about our cur-rent presence in the city as well. The city of Green Bay was historically inhabited by Ho-Chunks, Menominees and other tribes that were later re-

moved in the 1800s.The Ho-Chunk Nation

opened a Branch Office in Green Bay seven years ago to serve tribal members in the area. Since then, the Nation has developed relationships with the city to further the presence of our members in the community. The Mayor cited the historical injustices done to native people and he hoped that his proclamation would help our future gen-erations by recognizing the importance of our history in Green Bay.

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States. Nearly 40 mil-lion U.S. adults still smoke cigarettes, and about 4.7 mil-lion middle and high school students use at least one tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. Every day, about 3,000 youth younger than the age of 18 smokes their first cigarette.

American Indians/Alaska Natives have the highest prev-alence of cigarette smoking compared to all other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Each year, nearly half a million Americans die pre-maturely of smoking or ex-posure to secondhand smoke. Another 16 million live with a severe illness caused by smoking.

Smoking can lead to dis-ease and disability and harms nearly every organ in the body. More than 16 million people are living with a dis-ease caused by smoking in the

United States. For every per-son who dies because of the use of long term smoking, at least 30 people will live with a serious smoking-related ill-ness.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among American Indians/Alaska Natives. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabe-tes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes other emphy-sema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking also increases the risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Ameri-can Indians/Alaska Natives.

A big issue today is the electronic cigarettes, sometimes called “e-cigs,” “vapes,” “e-hookahs,” “vape pens,” and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Some e-cigarettes look like regular cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Some look like USB flash drives, pens, and other

everyday items. If you work with young

people, you may have seen an e-cigarette device with-out even knowing it. The most often sold e-cigarette in the United States is a brand called JUUL, which looks like a USB flash drive. JUUL “pods,” which contain liquid heated by the device, have as much nicotine as a pack of 20 cigarettes. They also come in flavors, which can make them more appealing to young people. In 2018, CDC and FDA data showed that more than 3.6 million U.S. youth, including 1 in 5 high school students and 1 in 20 middle school students, were past-month e-cigarette users.

As of October 15, 2019, 1,479* lung injury cases asso-ciated with the use of e-ciga-rette, or vaping, products have been reported to CDC from 49 states (all except Alaska), the District of Columbia, and one U.S. territory. Thirty-three deaths have been confirmed in 24 states. All patients have reported a history of using e-cigarettes or vaping products. Since the specific cause or causes of lung injury are not yet known, the only way to assure that you are not at risk while the investigation con-tinues is to consider refraining from the use of all e-cigarette or vaping products.

The statistics should open your eyes to make a stand against tobacco products. As indigenous people are known

to use tobacco as ceremonial and traditional practices, com-mercial use should be avoided to keep the health of children and adults as strong as can be. Commercial tobacco can increase the chances of los-ing members from your tribal community to smoking-relat-ed illnesses and losing elders to smoking-related diseases or exposure smoke before they can pass down tribal customs and traditions.

There are approximately 2.6 million indigenous people in the United States—about 1% of the total population. Yet, we have the highest preva-lence of tobacco use com-pared to other racial/ethnic groups in the Unites States. As originators of the land around us, it is our responsi-bility to upkeep the traditions

and care of the land that we are on. The future generations are what will keep us and our culture and traditions alive, but if we are to continue to abuse tobacco products and use electronic tobacco prod-ucts, we are harming not only ourselves but also the genera-tions to come.

Take simple steps to protect your children from the harm-ful effects of smoking and secondhand smoke. Children respect and learn from elders’ actions and words. Elders can help protect children from secondhand smoke. You are the keepers of traditions and lead our communities in deci-sion making. Please lead us to protect the children from secondhand smoke. Our tribe’s future depends on the children.

Notice is hereby served to all eligible voters of District 2. The Ho-Chunk Nation Election Board is calling a Special Runoff Election, which will be held subsequent to the Special Primary Election held on Friday, October 4, 2019 due to the resignation of Legislator Carly Lincoln, District 2, Seat 3, which was effective September 5, 2019.

HAVE YOU PROVIDED YOUR NEW MEDICARE NUMBER TO

THOSE THAT PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES? New Medicare Cards were sent out between April 2018 - April 2019 to the address that was on file with Social Security. You didn’t need to do anything to get a new card, but if you did not receive one:

1. Visit ssa.gov/my account or call 1-800-772-1213 to correct your mailing address; if updates are needed.

Medicare will never call and ask for personal information before sending out new cards, so don’t share your Medicare Number or other personal information if someone calls and asks for it. Once you received your new Medicare Card be sure to provide the updated information to your medical facility by January 1, 2020 otherwise claims will be denied regardless of the date of service.
