stevens to be a voice on my brothers keeper

Sweetgrass in Oneida?Looking at the pictures,you’d almost think youwere on the plains ofNorth Dakota, and per-haps that’s one reasonwhy the sweetgrass hereis doing so well. No, I

don’t mean that “it” feelslike it’s in North Dakota,but the sweetgrass seedsthemselves have comefrom North Dakota.

Yes, you’ve read thatright. The origin of thesweetgrass is NorthDakota. A local nativenursery contractor,Marshland AquaticTransplant, found an

intact native populationgrowing on the side of aspring-fed prairie pot-hole.

“We planted it in 2010.It was part of the workwe did in 2009 when werestored the spring-fedwetland,” said TonyKuchma, WetlandProject Manager, “Ourproject essentially mim-

icked these conditionsand now we have a beau-tiful, healthy populationof sweetgrass growinghere.”

Collaborating withTsyunhehkwa, severalhundred plants wereplanted in a wet area thatis maintained at the farm.

“Tribal members arewelcome to harvest what

they need,” saidKuchma, “However, it’sfragile habitat and manytrees and native plantshave been planted here,so please do not drivebeyond the mowed area.”

Five things to remem-ber when harvesting anyplants or roots:1. Make sure you have

properly identified theplant;

2. Know what and whoyou are using the plantfor;

3. Make an offering ofIndian tobacco;

4. Make offering speechto the “leader” plant(the tallest or heartiestone in the area youare); and,

5. Pick only what youneed.If interested in learning

Stevens to be a voice on My Brothers Keeper

Oneida BusinessCommittee CouncilmanBrandon Stevens willlend his voice to repre-sent Indian Country onthe newly expanded MyBrother’s Keeper pro-gram.

“The boys and men ofcolor initiative is a groupthat is a cross section ofall sectors, you’ve gotgovernment, grass roots,tribal government, andprivate sector,” saidStevens.

President BarackObama, who firstannounced his initiative

in February, saidMonday, July 21 theyplan to continue to buildsupport for the programaround the nation toensure those who are themost risk will get thehelp that they need.

“This is a movementthat we’re trying to buildover the next year, fiveyears, 10 years, so wecan look back and say wewere part of somethingthat reversed some trendsthat we don't want tosee,” said Obama, whomade the announcementat the Walker JonesEducation Center inWashington, D.C.

The National Congressof American Indians(NCAI) announced its

support of the program.NCAI President BrianCladoosby, and Nike’sN7 Manager SamMcCracken, and Stevenswill serve on the MyBrother’s Keeper councilto represent IndianCountry.

“The NationalCongress of AmericanIndians and its partnersin the task force look for-ward to working with theWhite House on thisimportant initiative. Ourtribal nations’ mostimportant resource andresponsibility are ourNative youth. We mustwork hard every day toenhance opportunitiesand create better lives forour younger generations

and generations yet tocome,” said Cladoosby.

Stevens sees his role onthe council as vital tomake sure young nativemen are part of the dis-cussion of how to allo-cate the $200 millionpledged by foundationsto My Brother’s Keeper.

“When I went to themeeting, I was the onlyNative American in theroom, and had I not saidanything about IndianCountry, there wouldhave been no mention ofit,” said Stevens. “One ofus will always be there tosay what about IndianCountry, what about the

young native males thatare really struggling,”

The My Brother’sKeeper initiative encour-ages the use of proventools that expand oppor-tunity for young people,including access to basichealth, nutrition, mentor-ship, high-quality earlyeducation and earlyintroductions into theworkforce, as well aspartnering with commu-nities and police toreduce violence andmake our classrooms andstreets safer.

While Stevens hopesOneida will benefit fromthe initiatives beingformed, he also hopes thetribe will be able to lendits expertise to the pro-gram.

“With Oneida beingclose to Green Bay, wehave a good mix of whatworks and what doesn’twork, and we can sharethat with the group, andwe can also take some ofthe grass roots peoplethat are on the counciland take what they haveworking in their citiesand perhaps use themhere,” he said.

Stevens is looking for-ward to the developmentof mentors for young

men. The NBA, theNational BasketballPlayers Association(NBPA) and the NationalBasketball RetiredPlayers Association(NBRPA) announced afive-year commitment inpartnership with MEN-TOR: The NationalMentoring Partnership,Team Turnaround andthe Council of the GreatCity Schools (CGCS).Through the partnership,these organizations willsupport a public serviceannouncement campaigndesigned to recruit25,000 new mentors,with a specific emphasison recruiting men ofcolor.

“There are a lot offatherless homes, thereare a lot of single moth-ers out there, and build-ing up young men willreally help give some ofthose kids, who don’thave fathers, positiverole models to look upto,” said Stevens.“Sometimes it’s as littleas teaching (youth) howto say please and thankyou and showing themhow to interact with peo-ple and treat womenrespectfully.”

Keshena, WI – TheMenominee Tribe mournsthe loss of formerMenominee Tribal Vice-Chairwoman & long-timeLegislator, BarbaraF r e c h e t t e - K e l l e y .Legislator Frechette-Kelley dedicated 33 yearsto her career in public ser-vice both to theMenominee TribalLegislature andMenominee County.Legislator Frechette-Kelley began serving theMenominee people short-ly after the Tribe’sRestoration and forma-tion of the MenomineeTribal Legislature in1980. At the onset of hercareer on the TribalLegislature, she elevatedquickly to the Executiveranks having served asthe Tribal Vice-Chairwoman in 1981 and2000. She also heldExecutive office as theTribal Secretary in 1980and 1982.

Legislator Frechette-Kelley’s service to herpeople knew no bounds.She traveled throughoutthe Country and more

specifically toWa s h i n g t o n ,D.C. makingvisits to ourCongressionalLeaders advo-cating on behalfof the Tribe. Shewas active in allaspects of governmentand progress for theMenominee people,which included areas ofeconomic development,health, housing, educa-tion, law & order, andutility infrastructure. Hercommitment to thepreservation of TribalSovereignty was well rec-ognized. During her timeon the Tribal Legislature,she held numerousappointments to TribalLegislative Committees,Taskforces, CommunityRepresentation, and JointTaskforces of the TribalLegislature, MenomineeTribal Enterprise,Menominee County, andfinally Menominee IndianSchool District.

Upon hearing ofLegislator Frechette-Kelley’s passing,Chairwoman Laurie

Boivin issuedthe followingstatement, “TheTribe has lost agreat leader andv i s i o n a r y .L e g i s l a t o rFrechette-Kelleyhas left behind a

legacy of leadership,commitment and advoca-cy for Tribal Self-D e t e r m i n a t i o n ”Chairwoman Boivin wenton to say, “LegislatorFrechette-Kelley’s ser-vice to her Tribe and com-mitment to betterment ofour Menominee peoplewill not be forgotten. Onbehalf of the MenomineeTribal Legislature, I offersincere condolences toher family and friends.”

In memory and honorof former MenomineeTribal LegislatorFrechette-Kelley’s pass-ing, all flags at Tribalfacilities have beenordered to be flown athalf- staff for a period of10 days.

Swedberg FuneralHome handled the funeralarrangements.

Menominee Tribe mourns loss

of former Vice-Chairwoman

Frechette-Kelley

We all go through lifeliving in the moment anddon’t really think aboutplanning for theinevitable.

It is our responsibilityto ensure our loved onesare not faced with theburden of handling ouraffairs upon our passing.

When faced with thesudden passing of aloved one, we experiencethe heartache and pain oflosing them and thenthere is the stage wherewe need to come togetheras a family to make finalarrangements.

Some people preparetheir arrangements aheadof time so their lovedones can carry out theirwishes – a considerationthat is appreciated whenthose they love are inmourning.

With that said, I wasmost impressed with thelife insurance plan theOneida Tribe painstak-ingly worked on for theirmembership.

The Oneida LifeInsurance Plan Plus(OLIPP) benefit whichwas put into effect aboutfive years ago is a movein the right direction toensure their memberswere taken care of upontheir death.

Regardless of how thiscame to be, as a proudmember of theMenominee tribe, Ilooked on it as a tribeonce again looking outfor their members. It wasa way to eliminate thefinancial burden a burialcan have on a family. Thelife insurance benefit of$15,000 is a reasonableamount to cover the costsof burial by today’s stan-

dards. The prior alloca-tion of $5,000 in manycases, was not enough tocover burial expenses.

I attended a meetingwith key people in theEnrollment departmentlast week to discuss avariety of issues. Beingcurious as to how theLife Insurance policyworks and/or is set up forthe membership, I had tolet them know I thoughtit was a fantastic gestureon the Oneida Tribe’spart to put this in placefor the enrolled mem-bers.

My motives forresearching this are two-fold: 1.) To get the mes-sage out to the Oneidamembership as to howfortunate they are to havethis life insurance bene-fit, and 2) To learn moreabout what research wasinvolved to get this offthe ground with my tribe.

I was told that it was avery long process, a lotof planning and researchinvolved for this tobecome a reality. Nowthat the Oneida LifeInsurance Plan Plus(OLIPP) benefit is inplace, the reality is thateach and every membershould take advantage ofthis gift. As tribal mem-bers, we are very fortu-nate – some tribes morethan others – that there

are resources and bene-fits afforded to them intheir time of need. Don’tever take that for granted.

Julie Denny, EstateClaims Assistant, has theresponsibility of gettingthe information out to themembership, which shedoes in a number ofways, one of which isthrough the Kalihwisaks.

It is the responsibilityof the members to takeaction and make time toprepare the paperworkthat is essential in gettingtheir affairs in order –regardless of age.

Once this is done, youcan pat yourself on theback for looking out foryourself and your lovedones who will be respon-sible to carry out yourwishes.

The families of thedeceased have a respon-sibility to ensure thattheir loved ones’ finalarrangements are takencare of so there isn’t anyadditional financial bur-den on just one person.

Of the 13,737 enrolledmembers, 8,326 mem-bers have filled out theirOLIPP Forms and 5,411have not according toDenny.

For those of you whohave yet to process yourpaperwork, why wait?

In my words...

Late summer is a greattime to assess your gar-den and start planning fornext year. One thing toconsider as a money-sav-ing tool is to convert anexisting flower gardeninto a vegetable garden.Even if you’re startingfrom scratch, your wholefamily can enjoy freshfruits, veggies and herbsthroughout the summerfor much less than store-bought produce.

Do your researchWhether you scour the

Internet or seek advicefrom your local gardencenter, find out whatplants grow well in theclimate, sunlight and soilavailable to you. Ifyou’ve never gardenedbefore, it can be especial-ly wise to seek advice

from friends or neighborswho are more experi-enced to help preventexpensive mistakes.

Make a plantingplan

Planting a vegetablegarden according to yourtastes can drasticallyreduce your grocery billwhen it comes to pro-duce. For example, ifyou’re spending $10 perweek on fresh herbs, thenyou might be smart tocultivate those, ratherthan the cabbage you canget for $0.22 per pound.Simply look at your gro-ceries and do the math.You’ll get the most bangfor your gardening buckby growing the moreexpensive items at home.

Avoidoverplanting

Not only do you spendmore on seeds or starterplants, you’ll also getless yield if you over-crowd your vegetablegarden. For example, youcan get more production

out of six tomatoes plant-ed three feet apart thanout of 12 tomatoes plant-ed 18 inches apart.Remember, more is notalways better!

Use good soilA high-yield garden

needs direct sunlight andgood quality soil. If itclumps and sticks togeth-er when you squeeze ahandful, it’s too thick toallow roots to growfreely. Cut it with com-post to loosen beforeplanting. If you have thespace, consider makingyour own compost fromthe organic waste youcreate at home anyway.Coffee grounds, fallenleaves and plant cuttingscan all make for great -and free - compost.

Whether you enjoygrowing herbs, tomatoesor berries, strategic plan-ning and proper care foryour garden can ensureyou and your familyenjoy fresh produce for afraction of the price!

Darlene Denny gave anenthusiastic tour of hernew store Turtle IslandGifts located offHighway 29 and CountyHighway U.

“This gentleman herewas the first one throughthe door,” she said refer-ring to the artist whomade several large God’sEyes that line a corridorwall.

The store holds a wideassortment of goods fromsouthwest pottery towoodlands beading.

“That’s why we cameup with Turtle IslandGifts, is because thethings that are in hererepresent things acrossNorth America, TurtleIsland,” she said.

Denny got the idea forthe new store after work-ing the powwow trailselling Native Americanmade items. Towards the

end of the events, artistswould want to sell Dennytheir work.

“As a retailer, I wouldhave to buy them at 50%,which I thought was real-ly unfair to the artists,”she said.

With the closing ofthree other NativeAmerican stores in thearea, Denny saw anopportunity to open hernew business.

“It’s based on the con-cept of an antique mall,in that they get their ownmini-gallery space. Theyget to price their ownitems; they get to displaythem how they want,”she said.

Artists can rent a four-by-four-foot display areafor $20 a month. Dennysupplies the shelving andwall pegs.

“I do as much as I canto help the artists getstarted, because theyhave the work, they justdon’t have the money togo out and buy the thingssometimes,” she said.

Turtle Island Gifts getsa 20% commission ofitems sold, which is bet-ter than traditional con-signment fees of 40%.

“(This store) can reallybe an incubator forcrafters and artists.Maybe they have the cre-ative skill, but they don’thave the marketing skill.And that’s where we can

come in and help them,”she said.

Denny also offers aroom for rent for peoplewho offer professionalservices such as massageor hair styling.

“They can bring theirclients in here, have aprofessional settingwhere they don’t have togo into someone’s home

and they don’t have tobring people into theirhome,” she said.

Turtle Island Gifts hasalso been offering a freecommunity swap meeton the weekends. Themeet makes the most ofthe large parking lot ofthe former Lucky U OneStop location.

“We want this space to

have ownership by thecommunity,” said Denny.

“We want it to be agathering space that canbe used in any creativeform that’s needed.”

Turtle Island Gifts willhold a grand openingSaturday, August 30. Call920-785-7318 for moreinformation.

Small social changes indiet and activity couldhave a big influence onhalting weight gainamong NativeAmericans, but it oftentakes transformationalpersonal changes to drivepeople to lose weight andkeep it off, experts say.

The daunting chal-lenge of motivatingAmericans to move moreand eat less was a domi-nant theme in the four-day obesity program for14 health reporters inearly June sponsored bythe National PressFoundation at theUniversity of Colorado’sAnschutz Medical

Campus in Aurora, a sub-urb of Denver.

In presentations in theuniversity’s AnschutzHealth and WellnessCenter, researchers,physicians, fitness andnutrition experts, jour-nalists, and food compa-ny executives describedthe biological and socialforces that give rise toobesity and strategies forpushing back againstthose forces.

The challenges may beeven bigger for NativeAmericans because theyare disproportionatelydisadvantaged, withmore living both onreservations and in lowincome city neighbor-hoods where good foodis scarce and options forwork and an active

lifestyle more limited. The obesity epidemic

has rendered 30 percentof Native Americansoverweight and another40 percent obese. Therates for all Americansare not much better, witha third overweight andanother third obese.

Dr. Holly Wyatt, aUniversity of Coloradoprofessor of medicine,said to lose weight andsustain the loss peopleneed to have bigger,deeper reasons than fit-ting into a summer bikinior avoiding diabetesdown the road. Theyneed to tap deeperdesires to change, totransform, to move froma victim mindset to asense of empowerment,Wyatt said.

The obesity epidemicover the past threedecades is the fruit of oursuccess in building anenvironment full of calo-rie-rich, fat- and sugar-laden, low-cost food andmachines that allow us tomove less both in workand play, said James O.Hill, executive directorof the Anschutz Healthand Wellness Center andco-author with Wyatt ofthe diet book, “State ofSlim.”

We have more foodenergy at our fingertipsthan ever while our moresedentary lives demandless energy, creating animbalance that makes usfat.

“Our biology is notbroken; it is what gets usobese in the current envi-

ronment,” he says. “Ourphysiology says eat, eat,eat. Our biology is set upfor that”

Some of those changesin the environment:

•Americans are mov-ing less, with more work-ing service jobs andfewer in manufacturingand only a fraction infarming, said JohnPeters, professor ofMedicine at theUniversity of Colorado.

•American males atwork on average burnabout 100 fewer caloriestoday than they did in1960.

•Amish men, who stilllive agrarian lives com-mon in the 1800’s, take18,000 steps a day com-pared to an average 6,000steps for other Americanmen.

Genetics can makepeople, including someNative Americans, moreprone to weight gain,said Dr. Daniel Bessesen,also a professor of medi-cine at the University ofColorado.

Ninety percent of thePima Indians in Arizona,for example, is obese.Genetically related Pimapeople in northernMexico are lean, proba-bly because they aremore active in theiragrarian lifestyle,Bessesen said.

An individual’s level ofimpulsivity and emotion-al attachment to foodalso can affect weightgain. So can his or herfriends. A study of12,000 people in theFramingham Heart Studybetween 1971 and 2003showed that a person’schance of becomingobese increased by 57percent if they had afriend who becameobese.

While losing weightcan be difficult, keepingit off is even more sobecause the body resists

staying lean, Bessesensaid. The body metabo-lism changes and usesless energy, yet theappetite increases

And as the body ages,it burns less energy so ifyou don’t eat less, youwill gain weight. Healthexperts at the workshopstressed that regularexercise is necessary tosuccessfully keep weightoff permanently.

Several speakers alsonoted that small changescould make big differ-ences in the obesity cri-sis:

•Americans eat onaverage only 15 caloriesmore a day than theyburn, enough to add apound or two a year.Small changes like walk-ing 15 minutes a day oreating a few less bites ateach meal could preventweight gain in most ofthe population, Hill said.

•The fast food industrycould go a long waystoward equalizing theenergy balance by reduc-ing portion sizes for say ahamburger by 5 percent,he said.

•One study, which hasimportant implicationsfor Indian Country, foundthat people can cut theamount of sugar theirbody absorbs in half bytaking a 15 minute walkafter each meal, said Dr.James A. Levine, profes-sor of medicine at theMayo Clinic.

•Brian Wansink, pro-fessor of marketing atCornell University, saidschools can double ortriple the number of pub-lic school students takingfruit for lunch by simplyputting fruit in a nicebowl in a well-lit area.

Still, as simple as itmight seem to cut 100calories out of your dailydiet, said Wyatt, sustain-ing that requires a bigchange in mindset andlifestyle.

Not ready to be a par-ent...Afraid to tell anyoneyou are pregnant...Noone knew you were preg-nant. Now you have ababy and you don't knowwhat to do. Don't panic.There is a safe place foryour newborn.

Every state has a "safehaven" law and whileeach state may vary a bit,these laws make it possi-ble for you to leave yourunharmed newborn in asafe place – no questionsasked.

For Indian ChildWelfare the Safe Havenlaw has been a source ofcontention for manytribes. In order to pre-serve the identity of ourNative American chil-dren, the Safe Haven law,doesn’t require a motherto list any informationabout the newborn.Because of this, it is dif-ficult for Tribal Nationsto become involvedbecause there is no wayto trace back lineage ofthe newborn.

In Wisconsin, andthrough the WisconsinSafe Haven law (Ann.Stat. 48.195) a mother“can leave her baby, upto 3 days old, with anemployee at any hospital,fire station, sheriff ’soffice, police station,

emergency medical ser-vices provider or anyother law enforcementagency in Wisconsin,”without fear of prosecu-tion, as long as the babyis deemed to beunharmed.

One hospital that has aprogram in place forbabies is St. VincentHospital. St. Vincent’sHospital offers confiden-tial, protective shelter,medical care, and treat-ment to unwanted new-borns. The program pro-vides a mother, whomight otherwise abandonher newborn, the optionto anonymously leaveher unharmed baby of upto 72hrs old with a hospi-tal employee.

A person other than themother—acting with themother’s permission—also may bring a new-born to the hospital. Theperson who brings thebaby in receives a packetthat includes a medicalbackground question-naire she/he can com-plete and return to thehospital. The hospitalthen contacts BrownCounty Human Services,which assumes custodyof the baby and followsnormal child abandon-ment procedures.

If a young mother

delivers at the hospitaland makes the decisionto choose Safe Haven foryour baby, all identifyinginformation is removedfrom the baby’s medicalrecord. When the infantis reported to the localchild welfare agency, themother’s name is with-held and identity is pro-tected. The newborns’mother will be asked toprovide basic healthinformation to be able toprovide the best healthcare for the baby.

If you are a youngNative mother, and youare considering thisoption for your newborn,please leave your nameor the name of the fatherso that the newborn canbe recognized by theirrespective tribal nation;Indian Child Welfareprogram in Oneida willnot contact you.

Once the newbornbaby has been relin-quished, they will be keptat the hospital until ableto go home to anapproved pre-adoptivehome. If you changeyour mind after leavingyour infant, you can callThe WisconsinDepartment of Healthand Family ServicesMaternal and ChildHotline for information

about your baby. Youwill be required to gothrough your local childwelfare system to obtaincustody of your infant.

If you have relin-quished a child via SafeHaven in Wisconsin andare looking for informa-tion on that child, youcan call the WDHFS:Maternal and ChildHotline 1-800-722-2295.

Whatever decision youmake for your newborn,please take a little time tothink about the future ofyour son/daughter. Ifyou feel that you cannottake care of your new-born, please know thattheir are other optionsavailable to ensure thatour native future genera-tions have an opportunityto grow up within theirtribal communities.

If you have any furtherquestions or would liketo learn about otherplacement options, orwould like to attend par-enting classes, become afoster placement home,have questions aboutadoption or would beinterested in providingrespite care please con-tact Oneida SocialServices at (920) 490-3700 and speak with theICW Intake Department.

This is article 3 on thetopic of land use and howthe Oneida ReservationComprehensive Plan(Comp Plan) contains asection called the LandPolicy Framework. TheLand Policy Frameworkincludes a reservationmap and is a documentthat the LandCommission will use tomake land use decisions.

Article 2 describedhow the Land PolicyFramework Map illus-trates types of placessuch as neighborhoods,districts and corridors ofthe Oneida Reservationand descriptions ofdesired uses and activi-ties in each area. Someof the general usesinclude areas for residen-tial, commercial, indus-trial, institutional, recre-ational, agriculture, envi-ronmental preservationand conservation.

Along with the LandPolicy Framework anorganizational processcalled Land UseTechnical UnitDesignation Process(LUTU) is used by ateam comprised of staff

from Land Management,Environmental Healthand Safety, CulturalHeritage, GeographicLand InformationSystems, Planning andLand Commission tomake decisions on theuse of land. There are anumber of Tribal docu-ments used to guide deci-sions on land use. Someof those include the 2020Acquisition Plan, OneidaZoning and ShorelandProtection Law and the1989 Land Use Plan.There are approximatelytwenty Tribal laws, reso-lutions, compacts andordinances that serve asadditional guides in mak-ing decisions on the useof land, all of whichserve to protect thethings that make ourreservation unique suchas wetland, woodland,agriculture, waterways,animal life, the ruralcharacter of the reserva-tion, and just as impor-tantly, the social impacton our people.

Together the LUTUprocess and Land PolicyFramework are used toassess the condition ofthe land and help definepotential land uses andthe location of land uses.These tools help to maxi-mize the use of Tribal

land while still protectingthe earth’s natural ele-ments and the communi-ty value of keeping therural character of ourreservation. The currentComprehensive PlanLand Use Element goalis to “Maintain a balancebetween the natural com-ponents and the builtenvironment of ourland”.

Now, let’s review theroles involved in theLUTU process and thesignificance of each role.First, Land Management(Real Estate Services)identifies a parcel of landto acquire. TheGeographic Land andInformation System(GLIS) inventories theparcel by putting it on theLand Use and TribalOwnership Maps. Aninitial assessment for soilconditions is done byEnvironmental Healthand Safety. If the soilmeets certain standardsthe land is acquired.Once acquired, the prop-erty goes through a morein-depth environmentalassessment for evidenceof conditions such as for-est coverage, wildlife andhunting, surface waters,wetlands, farmlands, cul-tural site and plants, andcontamination. Upon

request GLIS queries allthe parcels inventoriedand provide reports onthe parcels that havebeen evaluated. TheLand Commission makesthe final decision on theLUTU recommendationthat is made by theassessment team.

When a parcel has beenrequested for develop-ment a team of staff frommultiple areas of theorganization is identifiedto complete yet anotherin-depth site assessmentcalled LUTU 2 whichexamines:• the location• features of the land

Every Tuesday about 20 Elders get together for a meal, activities and Bingo. This pastTuesday Deb Ushakow handed out hats to all the Elders that decided to participate in acrazy hat contest. About half of the twenty were brave and decorated their hats reminiscentof the Kentucky Derby. It was a contest where the best could win a prize for their efforts. Itwas a lot of fun and laughter for all, even the shy ones that did not participate. We con-gratulate the winners and all the folks that were there for a great day. The events includehealth, exercise, crafts, games, dance, movies and trips. Every Tuesday they enjoy gettingtogether, trading jokes, laughs and meeting new people, family and friends! If you havenʼtbeen to Tuesday Senior Activity yet, come and join us! We meet at 11am – 2pm. Pick upour schedule at SEOTS anytime 8-4:30pm.

This past Wednesdayand Thursday, the sum-mer youth group atSEOTS was joined byBrickman House and hisdad Ken Metoxen whoshowed the youth the

basics of lacrosse. In between various

drills demonstrating dif-ferent skills of the game,Ken imparted lessons ofteamwork, respect, andhumility to the children.Taking one child aside,he confided that the dif-ference between a talent-ed athlete and a great one

is that a great athleteholds their head up, evenin the face of adversity.Both men also stressedthe importance of thisgame to our culturalidentity. Even the tradi-tional sticks, fashionedout of hickory andpainstakingly formedover the course of a year,

are full of historical sig-nificance that stems fromas far back as our cre-ation story.

The staff at SEOTSwould like to extend itsgratitude towards Kenand Brickman for theirrole in educating theyouth of the Milwaukeearea.

Many organizations areimplementing risk man-agement programs thatcan help them addresscompanywide risks andpotential threats. Accord-ing to the Institute of In-ternal Auditors (IIA), riskis defined as the possibil-ity that an event willoccur, which will impactan organization's achieve-ment of objectives. Thereare many forms of risk inan organization, includingInformation Technology(IT) risk, financial risk,operational risk, networksecurity risk, and person-nel risk. When strategiz-ing, the focus is on risksinherent in the activity or

environment. The actualrisk experienced is anoutcome of how manage-ment has managed risk.To address risks effec-tively, organizationsadopt a risk managementapproach that identifies,assesses, controls, andmanages potential eventsor situations.

The goal of effectiverisk management is to en-sure that each risk is iden-tified, documented,prioritized, and mitigatedto tolerable levels. Be-cause all organizationsface risk, whether posi-tive (i.e., opportunities) ornegative (i.e., events thathinder company success),the challenge is to esti-mate the likelihood ofrisk occurrence and theimpact it would have onthe functions.

One type of frequentlyaddressed risk is inherentrisk. Inherent risk in-volves a risk that wouldbe present if no other cir-

cumstantial factors werein place; risks that existjust by the nature of theitem or function. Exam-ples of items posing in-herent high risk includecash, inventory, easilyportable items of value(i.e. cell phones, laptopand tablet computers),and items of high mone-tary value (i.e. land, in-vestments, vehicles,equipment).

The current Audit Com-mittee has focused on ef-fective risk managementand operational gover-nance during this term.We established an expec-tation that management isresponsible to address is-sues deemed high riskraised in audit reports,and to pursue those issuesto resolution.

The Audit Committeehas made significant ac-complishments towardour objectives, including:• Creating additional

transparency for tribal

members to obtain auditinformation;

• Sending quarterly exec-utive level dashboardreminders to manage-ment of their respectivedivision’s open high riskfindings.

• Closing of 152 high riskfindings;

• Closing of 13 Opera-tional audits; While pursuing these

accomplishments, theAudit Committee hascontinued to receive re-ports of challenges, in-cluding: • Lack of quality of his-

toric documentation (i.e.incomplete documenta-tion of transactions,missing documents-likedelivery receipts and in-ventory records, lack ofmanagement monitor-ing, etc.). This has in-hibited the InternalAudit Department’sability to conduct thor-ough audits or investi-gations;

• Some management andInternal Audit not ableto come to consensus onInternal Audit reportfindings; and

• High risk findings notbeing remedied for ex-tended periods of time.The Audit Committee is

in the process of amend-ing the Audit Law withthe goal of enhancing en-forcement authority andis looking for GTC sup-port of Audit Committeeoversight and its ability todrive process improve-ment change and limitrisk to Tribal assets andresources.

Longmont, CO – FirstNations DevelopmentInstitute (First Nations)has been awarded a$306,000 grant from theW.K. KelloggFoundation of BattleCreek, Michigan, underthe foundation’s“Catalyzing CommunityGiving” effort. FirstNations will use the grantto collaborate with small-er local or regionalNative American non-profit organizations tobuild their internalcapacity while engagingnew donors – bothNative and non-Native –around those organiza-

tions’ efforts in buildingsustainable food systemsand strengthening Nativeculture among youth.

First Nations will workwith 10 organizations inits two-year pilot project,called “Nurturing NativeGiving,” that is intendedto strengthen theirfundraising effective-ness, with a primaryfocus on individual giv-ing. First Nations willcreate a web portal thatprofiles the 10 partici-pants, highlights theirwork, and which allowsconvenient donations toeach organization.Further, First Nationswill assist them in publi-cizing and marketing theportal and all fundsraised will be directedback to these communi-ties.

First Nations also will

provide significant train-ing and technical assis-tance to the participatingorganizations throughcoaching, webinars andan online learning com-munity to share resourcesand build the group’s col-lective knowledge andbest practices from theirown organizations. It willalso facilitate a dialoguebetween project partici-pants and Native grant-making tribes and otherfunding entities in hopesthat mutually beneficialpartnerships can beestablished. Three con-venings and a whitepaper will summarize thelearnings and policy rec-ommendations that canlead to increased givingin Native communitiesand, ultimately, grow thebody of knowledge aboutNative philanthropy.

“First Nations has longknown that developing astrong and healthy non-profit sector in Nativecommunities is one keyto economic diversifica-tion and service deliv-ery,” said First NationsPresident Michael E.Roberts. “This programwill expand the reach oflocal Native nonprofitsand improve charitablegiving to Native causesand communities.”

EXPERIENCE_______________________________

Utilizing the Iroquoisphilosophy of planningfor seven generations,Oneida has created a newnon-profit that is aimedat youth development.

The Oneida YouthLeadership Institute is a7871 non-profit fund setup by the Oneida Tribewhich is similar to a stateauthorized 501( c ) (3)organization. OneidaBusiness Committee(OBC) members andemployees such asInternal ServicesDirector Joanie Buckleyand Trust Director SusanWhite had met with rep-resentatives of the HopiEducational EndowmentFund (HEEF) and FirstNations DevelopmentInstitute to create theOneida Youth LeadershipInstitute.

“We had looked a lot ofthe work that United Waydoes, so why not have anOneida Way? It was kindof that same idea of beingable to having the com-munity involved in build-ing some leadership andother initiatives for youour youth,” said Buckley.

The new institute is

intended to support areayouth programs andactivities by acting as asource of funding that’snot dependent on tribalcontributions.

“Monetary resourcesare dwindling ever sincethe recession in 2008.Creating this type of fundwill help collect thedonations and the com-munity efforts to helpsustain these activitiesfor our youth,” saidWhite.

Individuals and corpo-rations can make taxdeductible donations tothe fund, and people canfind out about volunteeropportunities.

“A community manytimes is built on volun-teerism, and also on con-tributions,” said Buckley.

The Oneida YouthLeadership Institute isbased on five principlesrepresented by fivearrows tied in a bundle:

Traditional Heritage &Culture: Instilling the tra-ditional values of a goodmind, a good heart, and astrong spirit

Healthy Minds &Bodies: Balancingwholeness and wellbeingfor healthy lifestyles andchoices

C o m m u n i t yEngagement: Giving

back and paying it for-ward

Academic Excellence:Developing a strongfoundation of knowledgein S.T.E.M.

(science/technology/engineering/math) to makea positive contribution

Entrepreneurial Spirit:Building the passion andskills to succeed in theglobal marketplace

“Those five arrows isvery representative of uscoming together and cre-ating a solid foundationfor these leadership pro-grams,” said White.

The fund will beadministered by theOneida Trust Committee,and the hope is to growthe money into a $1 mil-lion endowment that willbe self-funded.

“We’re not going to getto a million dollars today,tomorrow, it might be 10years. … but what it doesis that it gives us a vehi-cle so that if a largedonor, if a corporation, ifsomebody like that wantsto donate, we have it,”said Buckley.

Oneida is currentlyworking to develop thewebsite oneidayouth-leadership.org so thatpeople can make dona-tions directly online andsign up for volunteer

opportunities. “They don’t have to

just donate money; it’sabout time donations too.We want to be able tohave a website that col-lects all the informationfrom the different areasthat are working with theyouth and we can post iton that website, peoplecan donate on the web-site,” said Buckley.

The Oneida YouthLeadership Instituteorganizers are planning akick-off luncheon in thefall, and are looking for-ward to working withyouth and community todevelop future plans.

“It goes back to ourbasic values - our basicvalues are about families,about helping eachother,” said Buckley. It’sabout the seventh genera-tion, it’s about invest-ment in our youth, it’sabout providing leaders.”

Proposed rulewould addressarbitrary, inefficientprocessWashington, D.C. –Assistant Secretary –Indian Affairs KevinWashburn todayannounced an extensionof the public commentperiod and additionaltribal consultations andpublic meetings on pro-posed regulations toreform the process bywhich Interior formallyand officially recognizesIndian tribes.

Due to significant pub-lic comments and inter-est, the comment perioddeadline has beenextended by 60 days.Two additional tribalconsultations will be heldvia teleconference onAugust 18th and 20th fortribal leaders, their repre-sentatives and staff. Twoadditional public meet-ings will be held via tele-conference on September3rd and 5th. Writtencomments may now besubmitted throughSeptember 30, 2014.

"With this extendedcomment period, theDepartment is providingmore opportunities forcomment and sugges-tions from tribes and the

public than any other ruleissued by Indian Affairsduring thisAdministration,” saidAssistant SecretaryWashburn. “Input fromtribes, including the 17that have been recog-nized under the regula-tions, states, local gov-ernments, the public andnon-federally recognizedtribes will result in a bet-ter final rule.”

The existing regula-tions governing federalrecognition of Indiantribes were originallyadopted in 1978 andupdated only once 20years ago. Prior to 1978,the Department of theInterior addressedrequests for acknowledg-ment on a case-by-casebasis. While the regula-tions established a struc-tured procedure for eval-uating federal acknowl-edgment (“the Part 83process”), this systemhas been widely criti-cized as being too time-consuming, sometimesarbitrary and generally“broken.”

This proposed rule toreform the 35-year oldprocess, released for pub-lic comment on May 22,2014 would make theprocedure more transpar-ent, efficient, timely, andflexible, while maintain-ing the integrity of theprocess. Some key fea-tures of the proposed ruleare that it would promote

transparency by updatingthe Part 83 criteria toinclude objective stan-dards, promote efficiencyby requiring a petitionerto show community andp o l i t i c a linfluence/authority from1934 to the present ratherthan from as early as1789, and eliminate theneed for a petitioner todemonstrate that thirdparties identified thepetitioner as a tribe from1900 to the present. Theproposed rule would alsomake changes to the peti-tioning process that facil-itate the timely issuanceof proposed findings andfinal determinations andallows for an administra-tive judge to conduct acomprehensive hearingand review of a negativeproposed finding.

In recognition of thehigh level of interest inthe acknowledgementprocess, the Departmenthas used a transparentapproach and significantoutreach effort. TheOffice of the AssistantSecretary - Indian Affairshas been conducting trib-al consultations and pub-lic meetings on the pro-posed rule in the South,Pacific, Northwest,Midwest, California and

the Rocky MountainRegions. A public meet-ing will be held on July29th from 8:30 am tonoon EDT and the tribalconsultation will be heldon July 29th from 1:00pm to 4:30 pm EDT atthe MashpeeWampanoag Facility,Mashpee, MA.

Newly announcedadditional tribal consul-tations will be held byconference call onAugust 18th and 20thfrom 1:30 pm to 4:30 pmEDT at the followingnumber: 1-888-323-4307. Use participantpasscode 4823348.Tribal consultations areopen only to representa-tives of federally recog-nized Indian tribes.

And, the new addition-al public meetings willbe held by conferencecall on September 3rdand 5th from 1:30 pm to4:30 pm EDT at the fol-lowing number: 1-888-323-4307. Also use par-ticipant passcode4823348. Public meet-ings are open to every-one. Transcripts of alltribal consultations andpublic meetings will beposted on the IndianAffairs website.

EASTON, PA (AP) ~Shelley DePaul grew upwith a deep appreciationfor nature, particularlythe Delaware River.

It was all a part ofgrowing up as a memberof the Lenape tribe ofNative Americans whosepeople settled in theLehigh Valley more than13,000 years ago.

“It’s our sacred river.We don’t believe in own-ing land. We believe allthe trees and the water allare relations,” DePaulsaid. “So we have a greatrespect and we see our-selves as caretakers.”

Now in her sixth yearas chief, DePaul contin-ues to share her tribe’sappreciation for the river.They will spend the firstweek of August as theydo every four years: trav-eling down the river,renewing a peace treatywith the communitiesthat have since settledalong the banks of theDelaware.

The tradition was start-

ed in 2002. “We started partnering

with other people alongthe Delaware River whowere conservationgroups and that sort ofthing,” she said. “Thenwe got the idea to make ita more formal partner-ship and to start a treaty.

“We thought it mightbe a good way to bringthings full circle, get ridof the animosities of thepast and work together.”

And it’s been growing. “We started out with 19

treaty-signers and nowwe've got over 30 organi-zations and over 150individuals that signedlast time,” she said.“We’ve made so manypartners that we're hav-ing various treaty sign-ings down the river.”

As the number of par-ticipants has grown, sohas the variety of thegroups.

“Every four years, wetake on new treaty-sign-ers and we develop morerelationships with part-ners all the way fromHancock down to CapeMay,” she said. “Not justenvironmental groups,

but also church groupsand historical societies.”

One such historicalsociety is theNorthampton CountyHistorical &Genealogical Society.Barbara Kowitz, the soci-ety’s executive director,sees great value in cele-brating the history of theLenape Nation.

Kowitz says it's a wayto connect to the deephistory of the region. It’salso a way to celebrate it.

“Our shared mission isto protect, preserve andshowcase history,” shesaid. “I think we'velearned how easy it is tolose the stories and it'simportant to carry on thattradition to pass thosestories down from gener-ation to generation.”

DePaul hopes to passthe Lenape’s history andvalues to local youth.Each year she inviteslocal scout troops to joinher tribe.

“I’ll be totally off theInternet for 17 days,”DePaul said. “There is nosuch thing as time on theriver.”

News from aroundWisconsin

Wisconsin ranks No. 8 in number of farmersmarkets

MILWAUKEE (AP) ~ There are few better places to buy summer vegetables,fresh cheese curds and homemade baked goods than Wisconsin, which has theeighth-most farmers markets of any state in the nation, according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is showcasing the Dane County FarmersMarket in Madison during National Farmers Market Week, which begins Sunday.The market held on the square surrounding the state Capitol is the largest produc-er-only farmers market in the country, meaning all of the roughly 160 vendorsmust grow or make their own products. They can’t sell items purchased from oth-ers.

The market serves as an example “of how farmers markets can be a huge suc-cess for the local economy and the farmers and consumers,” said Anne Alonzo,who leads USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service and planned to visit the DaneCounty market on Saturday.

Nationwide, the number of farmers markets registered with the USDA hasgrown from about 3,700 a decade ago to 8,268 this year. In Wisconsin, the num-ber of markets has grown from 170 to 295 in that time.

Wisconsin's public loans struggledamid recession

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) ~ Wisconsin’s local economic development groupsbegan to feel the impact of the Great Recession in 2009, a recent analysis of pub-lic records found.

There were only a few business loan write-offs in central and eastern Wisconsinthrough 2008. But they jumped to 12 the following year and continued to averagea dozen per year, Gannett Wisconsin Media reported.

The news organization’s investigative team evaluated data from more than 40municipalities from 2004 to 2013. It found that the groups surveyed issued anaverage of 67 loans annually.

Plastic Composites, a Green Bay startup, received a $125,000 loan to turn milkjugs into plastic lumber. Officials attributed the internal struggles of the business,including management and competition issues, to the recession. They said itcaused a lower demand for construction materials. Most of the loan was writtenoff by Brown County in 2011.

Chad Pelishek, Sheboygan’s director of planning and development, said the cityhelped businesses refinance and push off payments in an attempt to limit the num-ber of write-offs. Sheboygan has written off six loans totaling nearly $800,000since the recession.

Gannett Wisconsin Media examined nearly 1,000 economic development loansin its investigation.

It found that nearly 25 percent of the money loaned in the past 10 years was inone transaction with Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac. The boating manufacturerwas struggling, its workforce was cut in half and it had to decide whether to closeoperations in Fond du Lac or Stillwater, Okla. Revenue dropped 50 percentbetween 2007 and 2009.

The company decided to keep its world headquarters in Wisconsin after itreceived a $50 million loan from Fond du Lac County and reached a new agree-ment with the local union. Up to $2.1 million of an annual $5 million loan pay-ment is forgiven if targets are met, which they have been so far. The company hasgrown back up to 3,000 employees in the Fond du Lac area and it said investmentshave totaled $500 million since 2009.

Gannett Wisconsin Media reported that other economic development groupsweren’t so lucky.

Heus Manufacturing received an $850,000 loan in late 2007 to revive a plantthat had been recently shut down. The company struggled through the recessionand ended up closing within two years. Calumet County wrote off the entirety ofthe loan.

Morgan Aircraft, based in Oostburg, also struggled to expand after the recession.In 2009, the state issued a $30 million incentive package so the company couldbuild a 600,000-square-foot manufacturing plant at the Sheboygan County airport.The county approved a 50-year lease on the property and a $686,000 loan to helpkeep Morgan Aircraft afloat. But the lease was terminated after the company failedto pay rent, and it is expected to default on the loan.

Mississippi River sound system aims to detercarp

GENOA, Wis. (AP) ~ University of Minnesota scientists hope their recentlyinstalled experimental sound system will successfully deter invasive carp fromswimming upstream near the Mississippi River shipping lock.

Peter Sorensen and Dan Zielinski demonstrated their project Monday in Genoa,the St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/1miO05k ) reported. They said the five-speaker system, which has been operating for about a week, is believed to be thelargest underwater speaker system in the world.

The speakers produce a sound that carp hate, which Sorensen said his teamdetermined after conducting experiments in the lab and observations in the field.The noise is equivalent to that of 20 outboard motors.

The $75,000 sound system is activated every time the downstream gates of Lockand Dam No. 8 open. It was funded by state lottery funds and nearly $7,000 in pri-vate donations. The project is designed to prevent the carp from entering withoutbothering native fish.

The invasive fish, commonly known as Asian carp, are thought to be a majorthreat to native aquatic species throughout the Midwest. State and federal officials,as well as fishermen and scientists, are concerned that the carp could push outwalleye, northern pike and bass.

“We’re trying to buy as much time as we can while we learn more about thesefish and how to deal with them,” Sorensen said.

Another option, Zielinski said, is adjusting the speed of water that flows throughthe dam’s gates because carp aren’t very strong swimmers.

Mark Clements, who runs a fishing barge near Lock and Dam No. 8, worries thatthe native fish could be negatively affected by a change in dam operation. ButZielinski assured Clements that any adjustments would be subtle since they arewithin ranges already set by the Army Corps of Engineers, which operates thedam. Since carp have much more sensitive hearing than native fish, the noisewon’t bother the native fish either, he said.

Madison ~ Consumersmay not notice the differ-ence right away, but bigchanges are just aroundthe bend for Wisconsin’sDo Not Call program.

Beginning August 1,Wisconsin consumerswill no longer berequired to register theirnumbers every two yearsto receive protectionunder state law fromunwanted telemarketingcalls and text messages,and new registrationswill be active the follow-ing day rather than thenext quarter.

“The changes to thestate’s Do Not Call lawwill benefit consumers,”said Sandy Chalmers,Division Administratorfor Trade and ConsumerProtection. “Consumerscan sign up once and nothave to worry aboutwhether their registra-tions will lapse orwhether there will be athree-month delay beforethey are protected underthe program.”

Changes in the state’sDo Not Call law willmake phone numbers onthe Wisconsin Do NotCall Registry permanentby moving the registra-tion process to theFederal TradeCommission’s nation-wide list. Phone numberson the previousWisconsin list will auto-

matically be transferredto the federal list. If aWisconsin consumer haspreviously registeredtheir number to the feder-al list, they do not need tore-register for protectionunder the new law.

The WisconsinDepartment ofAgriculture, Trade andConsumer Protection(DATCP) will continueto enforce the state’s DoNot Call laws, protectingWisconsin residents reg-istered on the federal list.

The following changesto Wisconsin’s Do NotCall law are effectivenext month:

•Wisconsin residentsno longer have to sign upevery two years. Sign uponce and you are done, aslong as you have thatnumber.

•Wisconsin consumerscan register their residen-tial landline, cell or VoIPnumbers online athttp://nocall.wisconsin.gov or by placing a callfrom the phone they wishto register to 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236).

•To verify that yournumber is registered, call1-888-382-1222 (TTY:1-866-290-4236) fromthe phone you want toverify or visithttps://www.donotcall.gov/confirm/conf.aspx.

If you receive a call

from a telemarketer after31 days, file a complainton the DATCP website orcall DATCP’s ConsumerInformation Hotline at 1-800-422-7128. Pleaseprovide as much infor-mation as you can,including the name of thetelemarketing company,the location from whichthey are calling, the nameof the person calling, thephone number they usedto call you and the prod-uct or service they calledto sell.

If you answer thephone and hear a record-ed message instead of alive person, it's a robo-call. But if the recordingis a sales message andyou have not given yourpermission to get callsfrom the company on theother end, the call is ille-gal and the pitch is mostlikely is a scam.

“It’s relatively cheapand easy for a criminal tocall you from anywherein the world,” saidChalmers. “Don’t sendmoney in response to arobocall that violatesstate and federal law,because it’s most likely afraudulent pitch as well.”

For more informationon the Wisconsin Do NotCall program, visithttp://nocall.wisconsin.gov or call the ConsumerInformation Hotline.

Law to benefit WI consumers

MADISON, Wis. (AP)~ Wisconsin’s criminaljustice system is doing anaverage job, at best, atrehabilitating prisoners,according to most voterswho responded to arecent MarquetteUniversity Law Schoolpoll.

The poll released lastweek asked 804 regis-tered Wisconsin voters torate how they think thesystem is doing at turn-ing inmates into con-tributing members ofsociety. A little more than41 percent said the sys-tem was doing a fair joband 31 percent said thestate was doing a poorjob. Almost 18 percentsaid it was doing a goodjob and 3.6 percent said itwas doing an excellentjob.

The poll is merely asnapshot of current pub-lic opinion, but it couldprovide prison reformadvocates more fuel asthey push the stateDepartment ofCorrections for changes.WISDOM, an umbrellaorganization of churchcongregations fromaround the state,launched a high-profilecampaign earlier thismonth to pressure theDOC to release moreprisoners on parole,release aging inmates,alleviate overcrowdingand end solitary confine-ment, which the grouplikens to torture.

The Rev. JerryHancock, director of thePrison Ministry Projectat Madison’s FirstCongregational Churchof Christ, a part of theWISDOM coalition,acknowledged that therespondents likely don’t

have intimate knowledgeof rehabilitation effortsin Wisconsin prisons. Buthe said the results under-score an overall feelingthat the system is failing.

“They do have somegeneral sense of a systemthat is not working theway they were promisedit would work,” Hancocksaid. “They werepromised in exchange formassive expenditures ofmoney they werepromised an effectivecorrectional system thatwould rehabilitate peopleand return people to soci-ety better than they werebefore. That promise hasnot been delivered.”

DOC spokeswomanJoy Staab didn’t respondto phone or email mes-sages seeking comment.

The DOC has growninto one of the state’smost expensive agencies.Its prisons held 22,125people as of July 18 andthey cost about a billiondollars annually to oper-ate. Recidivism rates, akey measure of rehabili-tation efforts' success,have generally beendropping over the last 20years, however.

Marquette law profes-sor Michael O'Hear, whowrote the questions andfavors early release,acknowledged that theresults reflect a percep-tion that may not bebased on personal knowl-edge of the prison sys-tem’s workings.

He plans to cross-refer-ence the responses to therehabilitation questionwith answers to anotherquestion asking if therespondent or an imme-diate family member hasever been charged with acrime, believing thatmight identify a pool ofpeople with more experi-ence with the criminaljustice system. For now,

he said, all he can con-clude is people are gener-ally dissatisfied with thesystem and want to moveaway from “warehous-ing” prisoners.

DOC Secretary EdWall sent a memo toagency employees inApril saying that inmatesin solitary need a rehabil-itative experience andpromising to work withother states and mentalhealth professionals overthe next year to developbetter ways to deal withinmates who end up insolitary.

A legislative studycommittee formed thissummer to review howcourt-ordered treatmentprograms have affectedrecidivism and the state'sincarceration expenses.University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher KitR. Van Stelle told thecommittee earlier thismonth that treatment pro-grams have led to 90,318prison days averted and141,215 jail days avertedin nine counties between2007 and 2013.Committee members areexpected to submit rec-ommendations on howlawmakers can improvethe programs next month.

Republican Gov. ScottWalker said he wouldn'tsupport any early releaseprogram but he’s open tolooking at reforms togive judges and prosecu-tors more alternatives tosending people to prison.

“Any changes we lookat, any reforms, goingforward have to be at thefront end, not the tailend,” the governor said.

PORTLAND, Ore.(AP) ~ An Oregonwoman says 86 membersof her family have beendisenrolled from anAmerican Indian tribethat operates the state’slargest tribal casino, asleaders review the tribe’srolls and enforce newmembership require-ments.

Family spokeswomanMia Prickett said she’sshocked about beingstripped of membershipfrom the ConfederatedTribes of the GrandRonde, since one of thefamily’s ancestors was achief who signed an 1855treaty that helped estab-lish the tribe.

The council that gov-erns the 5,000-membertribe had been consider-ing disenrolling the fami-ly for nearly a year, say-ing they no longer satisfyenrollment rules.

The decision to removethe family was madeafter the council earlier

this month changed theenrollment ordinance via“emergency amend-ments.” The amendmentsgave the authority tomake decisions on disen-rollment to an enrollmentcommittee, which is anadministrative body, andremoved the councilfrom the process.

Grand Ronde’s StaciaMartin, executive coordi-nator for the TribalCouncil, declined to con-firm the number of peo-ple removed or the exactreasons, citing the “con-fidential nature” ofenrollment proceedings.

Those removed losehealth care and housingbenefits, educationalassistance and about$3,000 annually in casinoprofits, among other ben-efits.

The contentiousremoval is part of whatsome experts havedubbed the “disenroll-ment epidemic” - a risingnumber of dramatic

clashes over tribalbelonging that aresweeping through theU.S.

These tribal expul-sions, which started inthe 1990s along with theestablishment of Indiancasinos, have increasedin numbers just as gam-bling revenues skyrock-eted. Critics say the dis-enrollments are also usedas a way to settle politicalinfighting and old familyand personal feuds.

Most tribes base theirmembership criteria onblood quantum or ondescent from someonenamed on a tribe's censusrolls or treaty records.

Grand Ronde officialspreviously said thetribe’s membershippushed for an enrollmentaudit, with the goal ofstrengthening the tribe’s“family tree.” They didnot say how many peoplewere tabbed for disen-rollment.

Real issues, comical relief equals big jackpot for CMN

Photo by Margo Reiter/Kalihwisaks

Taking real-life strug-gles of tribal nations,this play offered acomical viewpointtribal council meet-ings and the bloodquantum issue. Theplay was directed byRyan Winn and assis-tant director, Eliza-beth Rice and writtenby the CMN Spring2014 PlaywritingClass.

Ryan Winn, CMN Humanities andTheater Professor, directed the recentplay “Blood Quantum: Fifty Shades ofRed” that was recently shown at the Nor-bert Hill Center. The play, written by the2014 CMN Spring Playwriting Class -Carol Brunette, Karen Cimicud, Yetsit-sehewe Danforth, DJ Denny, MasonPowless and Melissa Wilber - focusedon the struggles that American Indiansface in today’s society, tackling subjectssuch as tribal council meetings, theGreen Bay Packers, and the issue ofblood quantum among Native Nations.

The play was well received by all inattendance and had everyone laughing intheir seats. The actors and actresses dida great job in their character roles.

Blood quantum is an issue that Amer-ican Indian’s face on a continual basis,not only at the State and Federal level,but among themselves as well. Theissue of blood quantum began with theFederal Government back in the early1700’s.

Taking on such plays has shown thatone can be more realistic in their de-scriptions of American Indians today,adhere to the humor that is apparentamong the American Indian people andstill stay true to the realization of thestruggles that they continue to gothrough as a people.

Those in attendance gave the play abig round of applause making one won-der what the next topic will focus on andjust how many outrageous characterswill come alive. Me, I give it 5 Fry-Bread Power Stars!!

And it’s Off to the OldChairman’s Home onthe Westside of theRez…But First some-time soon, I’ll jump onmy little 650cc Yamahaand ride down to Indiancountry and Phoenix inthe Southwest…there’slots of good green chiliand greasy mutton downthat way.

AND, as I prepare toleave office I reflect onthe past three years, themost vivid memories areof the faces and voicesof the Oneida people ,some loud and opinion-ated, some quiet andreserved; some healthyand strong, some inneed of help; but by far,most had good heartsand were beautiful.

The memories andpeacefulness of sittingin a listening session, acommunity meeting,Tribal member visits to

my office, the encoun-ters throughout theOneida IndianReservation with thechildren, employees,young parents, eldersand my staff employeesKitty, Diane andLinda…at times createda sound that rivaled thesound of our drums andsingers, the heartbeatand melody of theOneidas.

There is a certainindescribable sensationwhen the General TribalCouncil is gathered todo the work of the Tribeand when chairing ameeting of 2,000 Tribalmembers. I would lookout and think how verypowerful the people ofthe Oneida Tribe are asthey exercised a greatright to strengthenSOVEREIGNTY bymaking the importantdecisions for the Oneida

Tribe of Indians ofWisconsin. The GeneralTribal Council Meetingshave a full spirit of theunity of our people(even when we dis-agree), working togetherto preserve the vision tostrengthen the effective-ness of the Oneida gov-ernment and to protectour people and ourresources onto the nextseven generations. It is

a powerful experience tolook out and ponder thewisdom of 2,000 tribalmembers who are in theact of exercising Indiansovereignty.

What is the essence ofbeing Oneida? Is it theculture, language, theway Oneidas wear theirhair, the songs, thedances, the spiritualbeliefs of traditionalists,Christians, and others,the eagle feather decals

on cars? It is all theways in which theOneida people live andwork. It is the good twinand the bad twin. Thespirit of each Oneida isconnected in a way thathonors our ancestors,cares for one another, isacutely aware of whatwe are as a people, andthat is the essence ofbeing Oneida.

When the privilege ofserving the Oneida peo-ple and the responsibili-ty of the elected leadercombine, an experienceand a dynamic are creat-ed and this Chairmanhas every confidence inthe Chair-elect, TinaDanforth, to continue topreserve the power andprosperity of the OneidaTribe as the newChairwoman.

In closing, I thinkback to the old movie“The Outsiders.” It is a

story of children grow-ing up poor, but at thesame time rich becausethey had each other. Butin particular in relationto this article, there wasa statement from a dyingchild’s letter to hisfriend Pony Boy. PonyBoy was special. He hada special way about himthat I cannot rememberright now. The dyingchild said that Pony Boywas “Golden.” It is mybelief that on August14th when the newOneida BusinessCommittee takes theirOaths of Office, they atthat moment they willbe golden, they will bespecial, and good, andclean, and I pray that thecreator of us all willhelp them and guidethem for the next threeyears. The dinger isSTAY GOLDEN!

August 7 2014 • (Wisk) 5Bwww.kalihwisaks.com OBC Forum

Years ago my col-league, Ernie St.Germaine from the Lacdu Flambeau tribe, askedme to participate in aHealing CircleRun/Walk. At that timethe Ojibwe were exercis-ing their treaty rights tospear fish in Wisconsin.Many protestors maderacial slurs and harassingcomments toward the

fishermen while otherslaunched rocks and ballbearings from wristrockets. Despite theopposition, the Ojibwestood their ground andcontinued to fish andexercise their rights.

From these events theAnishinabe SolidarityRelay was born in 1989due to the efforts of Lacdu Flambeau’s (LDF)Ernie St. Germaine andGary (Kemo) Kmiecikand Lac Vieux Desert’s(LVD) Giiwe Martin.The relay was intendedto unite the seven Ojibwebands and start the heal-ing process. With onlytwenty-four (24) corerunners, myself and WesMartin included, we werecommitted to making theapproximately 450 miletrip which connected allseven Ojibwe reserva-tions. At the end of eachday we were met withfeasts, stories, prayers

and healing. It was aunique experience that Icarry with me each day.

Since 1989 the run hascontinued yearly andincludes by many triballeaders, youth and elders.This year, the 25thAnniversary, Wes and Iwere honored and recog-nized for having beenone of the original corerunners. Tom Maulson,LDF President, ChrisMcGeshik , SokaogonChairman, AnnieMadosh, Bad RiverCouncilwoman, JamesWilliams Jr, LVDChairman, and theSpiritual Leader from St.Croix were just a few ofthe honored guests. Itwas humbling to see howmany more participantsthere are now and howcommitted the Ojibwebands are to each other.Despite the milesbetween their individualreservations, they contin-

ue to come together forthe common good andsupport each other intheir endeavors.

The commitment anddedication to each otheris very inspiring and thatis what I hope for ourTribe. Even though theOjibwe have their ownreservations, their ownneeds and wants, andtheir own day to day tri-als, they all come togeth-er for the common goodand the betterment of all.Being involved in therelay again reminded mehow our Tribe was yearsago and I am proud of allwe have accomplishedbut we still have miles togo before we are trulyunited.

Being united takesmore than words, it takesaction and involvement.Our General TribalCouncil (GTC) meetingsare attended by approxi-mately 1800 tribal mem-

bers which provides anopportunity for people toget involved. With theseparation of the meetingrooms, it is difficult forthose in the overflowroom to get involved andthis is something I hopeto remedy during myterm as Chairwoman. Itmay take many smallsteps forward before wecan all come together.

With Tribal revenuesnot meeting their projec-tions this is causing adeficit in our budget. Itis necessary for us toreview our structure andcomplete the GTC man-dated reorganization ofour Tribe. Without thisnecessary step, we willcontinue to see the sameproblems time and timeagain. This is not theonly task we need tocomplete to streamlineour operations andimprove our revenuestreams but it is an

important part. As partof my campaign I prom-ised to have an openhouse in my office for allcommunity members tostop by and express theirideas for moving ourtribe forward. The datesI have chosen areWednesday, September 3at SEOTS from 1 pm – 3pm and Thursday,September 11 in myoffice at the Norbert HillCenter (NHC) from 12pm – 6 pm. I hope youwill stop by if you can. Ifyou are unable to attendthe open houses, pleasefeel free to email me [email protected]. Community involve-ment is key in moving usforward and I hope togain as much valuableinsight as I can from ourmembers who choose toshare their thoughts andideas with me.

Motion carriedunanimously.Motion by Tina Danforth tosupport the grant fundrequest for the WigamigOwners Loan Fund, Inc. andthat the $140,000 be allocat-ed out of FY2015 budget forthe tribe and that a letter ofcommitment be providedfrom the Chairman’s office,seconded by David Jordan.Motion carried with threeopposed:Ayes: Tina Danforth,David Jordan, Greg Matson,Brandon StevensOpposed: Melinda J.Danforth, Patty Hoeft, PaulNinhamFor the record: Melinda J.Danforth stated that I dosupport the initiatives of thecompany that is coming for-ward to ask for an invest-ment, but again it is unclearabout the status of where theBusiness Committee intends

to close the 25 million dol-lar gap in the FY15 budget.I think that dedicating$140,000; although it doeshave a good return is not inour best interest at thispoint. Thank you.For the record: BrandonStevens stated I am in totalagreement with Melinda andwas in favor of this motionbecause I do believe that itwill benefit tribal members.What I’m at odds with is thefact that the next couple ofweeks, we’ll be goingthrough those budget meet-ings and we’ll be cutting alot from the organizationand not doing certain com-munity events. So I want totake that into considerationthat the committee membershere who are in favor of that,that they take that into con-sideration that we are takingthings away from the com-munity and where we needto take from them, shouldbe along the lines of busi-ness development area. If wenormally would have put inbusiness development, ithas to come from some-where there. We can’t take acarnival or something awayfrom the community andsay we’re trying to providebetter loans. It has to besomething in similar fash-ion that we take away fromthe organization because wemade the decision as aBusiness Committee to dothat. For the record: TinaDanforth stated I approvedthe consideration because itprovides an opportunity thatis not already being providedinternally by the tribe. Thereare minimal costs to thetribe and the administrationof this has already beenoccurring and therefore itgives us a dollar-for-dollarmatch for each dollar that weinvest. Motion by David Jordanthat we get all the financialturned over to the InternalAudit department to makesure there are checks and bal-ances put into place, second-ed by Melinda J.

In 1994, the OneidaTribe purchased a

2,400 tree AppleOrchard as part of theircontinuing strategy ofreacquiring lands withinthe original boundariesof the reservation. TheApple Orchard has 24acres of original orchardand an additional 8 acresof new orchard, whichnow totals approximate-ly 4,500 trees. Theorchard offers 34 vari-eties but the majority ofthe apple varieties areMcIntosh, Cortland, andHoney Gold. During theseason we try to offer awide selection of freshproduce such as wintersquash and pumpkins.

Part of the Orchard’sgoal is to generate inter-est in the area of agricul-ture as well as encourageour children to under-stand at a young age, theimportance of growinghealthy food, and findingnatural ways to eliminatepests. The Apple Orchardis part of the Youth Day

on the Farm event thattakes place each April.The Oneida ElementarySchool 6th graders par-take in this event. It hasbeen quite successful ingenerating the youth’sinterest in agriculture. Italso teaches them themany techniques whichare used to naturallyeliminate pests such astrapping insects.

The Apple Orchardoffers fresh fruit and veg-etables to all communitymembers. They can pur-chase these productsstarting early fall.

Each September theOrchard participates inthe Big Apple Fest.

This year the BigApple Fest will be onSaturday, September 20from 10a.m. till 4p.m.Please see our websitefor additional detailswww.oneidanation.org/ocifs

“Concerns of PoliceSurvivors, Inc.(C.O.P.S.), is a nonprofitorganization establishedto provide resources toassist in the rebuilding ofthe lives of survivingfamilies of law enforce-ment officers killed in theline of duty, as deter-mined by U.S. federalcriteria. C.O.P.S. wasorganized in 1984 with110 members but todayincludes over 15,000families,” says MichaelSawyer, C.O.P.S. writer.

“Unfortunately, withbetween 140 and 160 lawenforcement officersdying in the line of dutyeach year, C.O.P.S.’smembership continues togrow; as a result, theorganization’s programsfor surviving spouses,children, parents, sib-lings, significant others,and affected coworkersare in greater demandthan ever. C.O.P.S. pro-grams for survivorsinclude the NationalPolice Survivors’

Conference, held eachMay during NationalPolice Week; scholar-ships; peer support at thenational, state, and locallevels; and a counselingreimbursement pro-gram.”

The event that OPDOfficers MatthewNinham andLatsiklanunha Hill werea part of was for an escortat Mitchell Field Airportin Milwaukee for “COPSKIDS CAMP.”

Officers from all overthe state greeted the fam-ilies at each terminal atthe airport as they arrivedby plane, carried theirluggage, and escortedthem to the hospitalityroom where they couldgrab something to eatand waited until theyboarded a coach bus,which took them to thecamp site.

The event took placeon July 28, 2014 and wasorganized by C.O.P.S.

C.O.P.S. Kids Camp isa camp for police fami-lies who have lost a lovedone in the line of duty.

The camp helps sup-port the families and cov-ers many areas to help

the families such as: cop-ing skills, the grievingprocess, support systems,risk factors, PTSD, andmuch more. Friendshipsand relationships aredeveloped and goodmemories are createdthat last a lifetime. Thisevent also gives officersa chance to let the fami-lies know they are notforgotten and we supportthem.

Officers from all overWisconsin participate inthe camp and the escortat Mitchell Field Airportin Milwaukee.

A lot of hard work hadto be done for the eventand a big thank you tooall the supporters andevent coordinators forC.O.P.S. CommunityResource, Oneida PoliceDepartment OfficersMatthew Ninham andLatsiklanunha Hill par-ticipated in the event.

RE: Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin vs. Various Individuals

www.kalihwisaks.comLocal10B (T#kni Yaw^=le) • August 7, 2014

Seeking SupportDear TLC group:

I commend your effortsto have meaningful dia-logue about Tribal issues.I am Racquel “Rocky”Hill, and I am running forTrial Court Judge. Ibelieve I possess the nec-essary leadership skills ajudge needs – commit-ting myself to personalleadership and growth,making decisions basedon facts, and ensuringpolicies and proceduresare adhered to. I strong-ly believe in being objec-tive and fair, holdingmyself and othersaccountable, and treatingeveryone equally. I con-sider myself a work inprogress with my charac-ter defects. My way isn’talways the best way so Imust keep an open mindand be compassionatetowards and respect ideasof others.

It seems there is a lackof an enforcement mech-anism with the currentjudicial system.Decisions are made;however, enforcement ofcourt orders is missing.This is one area I wouldlike to focus on to resolvequickly. In my opinion,giving back to the com-munity would be morebeneficial for the individ-ual and the Tribe and abetter learning experi-ence rather than beingmade to pay fines so Iwill be looking into resti-tution by way of commu-

nity involvement/com-munity service.

As a lifelong resident, Icare deeply about theOneida Nation. I’m will-ing to take the necessarytraining and dig deep intothe laws to learn andbecome as knowledge-able as possible to makethe best fact-based deci-sions. My door willalways remain open toeveryone. I respectfullyrequest your vote onAugust 23rd.

CHAPTER 1 - KALIH-WISAKS POLICIES

1.1 MISSIONIt is the mission of the

Kalihwisaks to inform theOneida Tribal membershipabout issues of interest byproviding timely, accurate,complete and balanced infor-mation about the OneidaTribe that is relevant to themembership, employees,administrative units and gov-ernment. The Kalihwisakswill continuously investi-gate, and report on, organiza-tional and social develop-ment that affects the Oneidaidentity and expression;building our communitythrough a shared sense ofTwahwahtsilay^ - All of usare family.

We are committed to pre-serving and honoring ourTribal heritage, culture andvalues. We will preserve anduphold the democratic idealsthat have guided the OneidaTribe throughout history; byproviding thorough andobjective information so thatthe Tribal membership canmake informed decisions andhold our leadership account-able.

Good faith with the readeris the foundation of journal-ism. The Kalihwisaks seeksto maintain that good faithby publishing a newspaperthat provides full and accu-rate coverage of Oneida life,and that exhibits sound judg-ment and reasoning incolumns and editorials.

Our readers deserve anewspaper that leads,informs, instructs and enter-tains; a newspaper that is dri-ven by the four essentialqualities of accuracy, integri-ty, independence, and respon-sibility.

1.2 PRIORITIESThe Kalihwisaks will

publish content that is asvaried in perspective as ourreadership. We are commit-ted to providing content rep-resenting a broad and diverserange of issues, subjects,facts and viewpoints. Withthat in mind, however, thereare various categories of cov-erage which have been iden-tified as priority. Theseinclude:1. All aspects of our Tribal

government; includingthe Tribal vision, mis-sion, growth, programs,goals, planning andnational priorities;

2. Tribal events and occur-rences;

3. Tribal membership;including member bene-fits and accomplishments;

4. Tribal enterprise activity;capital projects and futureplans;

5. Tribal history and culture.The Kalihwisaks will

develop informationalthemes that center on thesepriorities. These topics andissues will be the focus of acalendar developed to reflectthe special needs of themembership. This plannedcalendar will be made avail-able by publication in theKalihwisaks, but it is sub-ject to change, as determinedby the Editor.

1.3 NEUTRALITY ANDCONFLICTS OF INTER-EST

The Kalihwisaks is a non-partisan publication andmaintains no political ororganizational affiliationsoutside of our affiliationwith, and accountability to,the Oneida Tribal entity andthe Tribal membership. TheKalihwisaks, and each mem-ber of our staff, will remainfree from all obligationsexcept that of fidelity to thepublic interest, and we willnot promote any privateinterest contrary to that ofthe general welfare.

Disputed issues will betreated impartially, and con-troversial subjects will behandled dispassionately. Ourstaff will avoid practices thatwould conflict with the abil-ity to report and presentnews in a fair, accurate andunbiased manner, and wewill each remain free of asso-ciations and activities thatmay compromise integrityor credibility.

We will not publish anymaterial, except advertising,for which there is evidence ora reasonable perception thatthe author is attempting toprofit or benefit personallyfrom such publication. Wewill deny favored treatmentto advertisers and specialinterests and resist all pres-sure to influence news cover-age or provide special editor-ial consideration.

1.4 ACCURACY ANDBALANCE

By every consideration ofgood faith, a newspaper isconstrained to be truthful.Staff and submitters whowrite for the Kalihwisaks areresponsible for the accuracyof their assignments andsubmissions. Every effortwill be made to ensure theaccuracy of information pub-lished in the Kalihwisaks;and to guard against inaccu-racies, carelessness, bias ordistortion by emphasis,emotion or omission, ortechnological manipulation.

1.5 ERRORS AND OMIS-SIONS

If we should publish con-tent that contains an omis-sion or factual error; we willremedy the mistake in thenext available publicationafter we discover the omis-sion or error; and we willtake any other steps that wedetermine to be appropriatein order to remedy the mat-ter.

Depending on the circum-stances and the most appro-priate response, we will takeone or more of the followingactions:1. Publish a correction2. Publish a clarification3. Publish a retraction4. Publish an apology

We encourage our readersto bring any errors to ourattention, so that we mayrespond promptly. Questionsor complaints concerningmaterial published in theKalihwisaks should be madein writing to the ManagingEditor.

1.6 EDITOR’S NOTESOccasionally, content may

need to be accompanied byan Editor’s note. We will usethese to: 1. Correct or point out inac-

curacies or faulty logicthat may mislead readers;

2. Respond to questions orrequests for information;

3. Provide additional facts orinformation, in order toensure that content is bal-anced, complete and cur-rent;

4. Provide updates to infor-mation that is no longertimely;

5. Clarify or reiterate thatcontent does not reflectthe opinion of any partyother than the contribu-tor; and/or

6. For any other reasonwhen it is determined tobe necessary, in further-ance of the Kalihwisaks’mission statement andthese policies.

CHAPTER 2 – GEN-ERAL SUBMISSIONS

POLICYThis policy defines the

process used to determine ifcontent is appropriate forpublication and to edit sub-missions for consistencywith Kalihwisaks styles.The Kalihwisaks reservesthe right to make exceptionsto this policy when appro-priate.

The Kalihwisaks shallmaintain vigorous standardsof honesty and fair play inthe selection, editing and

publication of content; andwe will use mature and con-sidered judgement in thepublic interest in all that wedo. All efforts will be madeto give balance to the repre-sentation of differing per-spectives in coverage ofissues of controversy.

We will not plagiarizewords or images, nor shallwe publish words or imagesthat are suspected of beingplagiarized.

Our readers are invited tosubmit letters, photos, andother relevant content forpublication. Submissionsbecome the property of theKalihwisaks, and may bepublished or distributed inour print, electronic or otherformats.

Content submitted by e-mail may be included in thebody of the e-mail, orattached as a WordDocument. The Kalihwisaksis not responsible for con-tent that has been submittedelectronically. While e-mailed content is preferred, itis the responsibility of thesender to double check ifitems sent by e-mail havebeen received by theKalihwisaks staff.

2.1 INFORMATIONREQUIRED WITH SUB-MISSIONS

All submissions must besigned and include theauthor’s street address, tele-phone number, and prefer-ably an e-mail address.Generally, news and editorialcontent will include a bylinefor the author of the content.Contact information, includ-ing addresses, will generallynot be published, but is usedfor verification purposes. 1. Attribution. Unsigned

and/or anonymous sub-missions will not be pub-lished. In extremely lim-ited circumstances, theKalihwisaks staff mayallow a Letter to theEditor to be publishedwithout identifying theauthor, but the author’sidentity and contact infor-mation must still be pro-vided to the ManagingEditor, who may requestverification and/or otheradditional informationbefore the submission canbe published.

2. Individual Signatures. Allsubmissions, includingletters to the editor andguest editorials, must besigned by individuals, notgroups.

3. Conflicts of Interest.When submitting con-tent, contributors mustdisclose any personal,financial or other intereststhe contributor may haveto the subject of the con-tent.

4. Additional Verification. Inorder to protect theintegrity of the editorialprocess, additional verifi-cation of an author’s iden-tity may be required priorto the publication of anysubmitted content. Wemay require a submitter toprovide evidence to sub-stantiate any controversialor potentially incorrectinformation identified in asubmission.

2.2 EDITORIAL DIS-CRETION ANDAUTHORITY

Because publishing anewspaper is a highly tech-nical process that must oper-ate within certain inflexibledeadlines, it is necessary toconcentrate executive author-ity in the hands of one indi-vidual--the Managing Editor.The Managing Editor mustfrequently make immediatedecisions in order to ensurethat breaking news is cov-ered, that deadlines are met,and that content is publishedwhile it is still current andrelevant.

The Managing Editor isresponsible and answerablefor the news and editorialcontent of the Kalihwisaks,including but not limited to,making the day-to-day deci-

sions regarding contentselection, ensuring that allcopy meets the standards setforth in this policy, anddetermining which contentwill be used to fill availablespace.

These responsibilitiesrequire an element of discre-tion. Therefore, theManaging Editor may gener-ally exercise great latitude indetermining how to applythe Kalihwisaks policies,and in deciding whether andwhen to allow an exceptionto these or any other policy.The Managing Editor mayalso consult with news staff,the Oneida Law Office, theC o m m u n i c a t i o n sDepartment, and/or anyother appropriate entity toobtain guidance and directionin any situation.

2.3 SUBMISSIONAPPROVAL PROCESS

While every effort is madeto include all relevant mater-ial, there is not alwaysenough space to includeevery submission. Decisionson what material to includewill consider news value;timeliness; significance andrelevancy to the community.

We reserve the right towithhold, edit and/or refuseall copy submitted for publi-cation; at any time and with-out notice. If a submissiondoes not meet theKalihwisaks’ requirementsfor publication or our stan-dards for fairness and goodtaste, the Managing Editormay do any of the follow-ing, as deemed appropriate:1. Decline to publish the

submission. TheManaging Editor may dis-card or destroy any sub-missions whenever s/hechooses and without anynotice or liability to thesubmitter or any otherparty.

2. Return the submission tothe submitter. When pos-sible, the ManagingEditor will try to providean explanation of whatmust be changed in orderto make the content pub-lishable.

3. Edit the submission forpublication, in accordancewith section 2.4.

2.4 EDITING SUBMIS-SIONS

All content, including anycontent submitted by readers,is subject to editing beforepublication. 1. Editing is generally limit-

ed to grammar, syntax,length, accuracy and civil-ity; in conjunction withspace availability.Generally, any contentrequiring extensive edit-ing will be refused orreturned to the submitter.

2. Submissions sent with“do not edit” instructionswill not be considered.

3. Every effort will be madeto edit material in a waythat the intended messageremains intact.

4. Proofs of edited contentwill not be presented tothe submitter prior topublication. We maymake exceptions to thisrule in limited, specialcircumstances, but onlywith prior authorizationfrom the ManagingEditor.

5. All submissions may besubject to additional edit-ing as available spacerequires. For example,when a topic or occur-rence generates numerousletters to the editor, someletters that repeat ideasmade in other letters maybe shortened to leave inonly new, unrepeatedideas. Content that exten-sively quotes other writ-ten material may be editedto keep quoted material toa minimum.

2.5 SUBMISSIONSFROM WITHIN THETRIBAL ORGANIZA-TION

In fulfilling our obligationto the keep the membership

informed, the Kalihwisaksregularly publishes contentthat has been submitted byTribal entities and officials;including Tribal depart-ments, divisions, boards,committees and commis-sions. In addition to the gen-eral requirements for submis-sions, the following guide-lines apply for content sub-mitted from within theTribal organization:1. Submissions should be

accompanied by thename, telephone number,and preferably an e-mailaddress, for the party anddepartment responsiblefor submitting the con-tent.

2. If the submitted contentneeds to be run in a spe-cific issue or by a specificdate, this informationshould also accompanythe submission.

3. It is strongly recommend-ed that a submitter pro-vide Kalihwisaks staffwith advance notice of thetype and size of any con-tent that will be submit-ted – preferably no lessthan one week before thedeadline for that issue –so that the staff can antic-ipate that submissionwhen planning the layoutfor that issue. Anythingsubmitted without priornotification will only berun if there is any avail-able space remaining.

4. Advance notification ofcancellations or whenexpected content will notbe ready by deadline isalso encouraged.

2.6 DISCLOSURE OFINFORMATION

As part of our obligationto the community, wereserve the right to reportand/or disclose informationrelated to a submission orother content, if we arerequired by law or valid courtorder to do so, or if webelieve in good faith thatsuch action is necessary forany of the following rea-sons: 1. To comply with a legal

process – including, butnot limited to, ethicsinvestigations or proceed-ings instituted againstTribal officials.

2. To protect or defend ourrights and property,

3. To protect against misuseor unauthorized use of ournewspaper, logo, website,or any other proprietaryproperty or information;or

4. To protect the personalsafety or property of ourreaders, staff, and/or thegeneral public.

2.7 HEADLINESHeadlines, which must

meet certain space and stylerestrictions, are written byKalihwisaks staff.Submitters can suggestheadlines to accompany theircontent, but such sugges-tions will not necessarily befollowed.

CHAPTER 3 – OPIN-ION/EDITORIAL CON-

TENTThe Kalihwisaks strives

to champion the rights ofthe Tribal membership tofair comment and criticismby publishing not only staff-generated content, but alsoby providing a forum forcommunity members to dis-cuss and share information,including their own viewsand opinions. Wherever pos-sible, we will try to providea chance for comment on allsides of a critical issue in thesame edition.

When selectingopinion/editorial content forpublication, the Good MindPrinciple of Kalihwi=y% willguide our decision-making.Subject matter should beconstructive. People andideas should be referred toand addressed in a respectfulmanner. Dignity and decencyare of paramount impor-tance, as we strive to keepthe tone of discourse as civi-lized as possible.

• Individuals may not sub-mit more than eight (8) let-ters per year, regardless oftopics.

• Response Letterso Letters written in
