Tecumseh Square Receives Redevelopment Approval

Photos of the current state of Tecumseh Square Shopping Center. The Tribe recently received a preliminary approval from the City of Tecumseh to redevelop the property.

The tribal owned Tecumseh Square Shopping

Center has long been an eyesore but that could

soon change. On December 6th, Governor John

Johnson and Muhammad A. Khan, Vice President

of SMC Consulting Engineers, P.C., presented

redevelopment plans to the Tecumseh City Council

and on December 7th, received preliminary

approval to proceed.

The tribe purchased the property located at 12510

Holly Lane in 1992. The shopping center, built in

1960 was once a thriving retail hub for many years.

The center housed retailers such as TG&Y, Newton

Walls and Shawnee Products (the Bandage Group).

The property has been vacant for years, but the late

Lt. Governor Kenneth Blanchard was determined

to bring it back to life.

“All of these plans that we are working on, were

Kenneth’s ideas. I am happy that we can continue

the work that he started.” said Johnson “It was a

huge step in getting this early approval from the

city of Tecumseh. It means we can move the project

forward.”

The next step for the tribe is selecting an architect.

The tribe plans to use CARES funds to revitalize

the property. Plans include creating office space for

lease.

“I hope we do him proud and honor the vision

that Kenneth had.” said Johnson. “I look forward to

bringing Tecumseh Square back to what it used to

be, what Kenneth wanted to accomplish."

Governor Johnson Delivers State of the Tribe Address

before the meeting.

Governor John Johnson delivered

the State of the Tribe Address on

November 30, 2021 at the Norman

City Council Meeting. Norman

Mayor Breea Clark invited Governor

Johnson to speak regarding the tribe’s

progress. “I value our relationship

and our partnership that we have in

this area of Oklahoma.” Mayor Clark

said, “I look forward to building on

it.”

Immediately after Johnson’s speech,

Mayor Clark gave the State of the City

Address.

Johnson’s speech highlighted the

tribe’s enterprises and future plans.

He spoke about the two casinos, the

Little Axe and Shawnee clinics, Plus

Care, the two day cares, the resource

center and the convenience store.

“We were the first casino in the

state of Oklahoma. In Little Axe, we

are planning to expand our clinic. We

are also getting ready to build another

clinic in the Shawnee area.” Johnson

said.

“Also, we have purchased 145 acres

across the street from Little Axe

schools for future projects including

agriculture development programs.”

He also shared how the tribe helped

the members during the pandemic.

“The tribe received CARES funds

and we were able to help our tribal

people. We provided general welfare

assistance, education aid, energy

assistance, food cards and small

business assistance. “

The tribe is trying to combat

COVID and to this date has given out

8,317 vaccines in the Little Axe and

surrounding areas. COVID is still

here yet Johnson remains optimistic

that the tribe will continue to flourish.

“It’s been tough and COVID is not

over. We are in the planning stages of

what we’re going to do next but first

we will have to wait and see what this

new variant does.” Johnson said. “But

we are going to make it through this.”

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

GOVERNOR’S REPORT

John Johnson, AST Governor

GOVERNOR

John Johnson

Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season with family and

friends. It is hard to believe we have started a new year. Below are a few events that

I have attended in the last few months of

2021.

I was invited to attend the 44th Oklahoma Governor’s Arts Awards on Tuesday November 9th. Sixteen individuals

and three organizations were honored for

their contributions to the arts in Oklahoma. Awards were presented by Governor

Kevin Stitt during a special ceremony at

the Oklahoma State Capital.

On November 18th I had the pleasure

of attending the Oklahoma Hall of Fame

dinner at the Cox Business Convention

Center in Tulsa. On this night, eight people were given Oklahoma’s highest honor.

Since the inception of the Oklahoma Hall

of Fame in 1927, 714 accomplished individuals have received this honoree.

On December 6th, I attended and presented the tribe’s plan for the old Tecumseh square building at the Tecumseh City

Council meeting. Mr. Muhammad Khan

Tribal Members,

I want to wish everybody a safe and

happy holiday. I hope we continue doing

our best to continue staying safe and continue to practice the CDC recommended

guidelines to get vaccinated, wear your

mask indoors and in public spaces and

now its suggested to get the booster shot,

if you fall within the requirements. It is

said the majority or soon to be majority is

the Omicron variant, which spreads faster than earlier forms of the virus.

I want to send my thoughts and prayers

to those who have lost loved ones and

send words of encouragement to those

who are facing difficult times.

A few updates from departments within my oversight. These come directly

from the Dir.’s and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact my

office or the directors themselves.

BIA Roads:

BIA Roads Director Nahinli Billy

As of today, we have served 23 families

with driveway assistance and we have several more that are in progress at the moment. I have not gotten a huge amount

done in the last month since I was out

with COVID. Cleveland County has

completed several miles of county roads

we had discussed last month and are very

grateful to AST for helping fund those

projects.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Director Kevin Kaseca

Miller and a few other tribal staff members were alongside me. Mr. Khan presented the Tecumseh City Council with

the survey of the property. The Council is

very excited to see what the future plans

are for this building and location. We are

now ready for the next step which will be

Mr. Khan drawing up the architect plans.

This project was a vison of the late Lt.

Governor, Kenneth Blanchard and I am

working hard to make his vision come to

light.

I hope all tribal members were able to

take part in the ARPA Winter General

Assistance program that had a deadline

of December 30th, 2021. The EC and

staff worked hard at the 2 day in person

events on December 10th and 11th. We

had over 2000 tribal members receive gift

cards on those 2 days. I want to thank everyone that helped during these events,

everything went as planned with no major issues.

I am looking forward to starting off

2022 with new endeavors. I can’t wait to

see the forward progress that is planned

for the tribe this upcoming New Year.

Please remain aware of the new strains of

COVID that are starting to spread around

the country. Continue to wash your hands

and wear your mask to stop the spread of

this deadly virus.

The maintenance department has been

assembling office furniture and completed 32 work orders since November 11,

2021 and during that time also had new

pedestal street lights installed in front of

building. The Maintenance Department

wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.

OEH:

OEH Director Jarrod Lloyd

From January 2021 to November 2021,

OEH has assisted Tribal members with 68

different septic renovations and installations, water well drilling and installations,

well renovations, and community water

connections. For 2021, we have collected,

processed, and recycled 64 bales of shredded office paper and cardboard equaling

roughly 48 tons of recyclable waste that

has been diverted from landfills. 128 Tribal

Response, 106 Water Pollution, 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution, and GAP Grant

Applications have been received and we

are now operating under EPA Fiscal Year

2021. We have begun our bi-monthly surface water sampling plan for water bodies

within our Tribal Jurisdiction. This data

is reported to EPA in an effort to prevent

surface water pollution and enable additional Federal funding that will enhance

the quality of Tribal water bodies. The

cabins and bathhouse at Camp Nikoti are

near completion. All project construction

and closeout documentation is expected

to be completed well ahead of the HUD

Designated deadline. We have received

proposals from Architects for the new

Police Safety Center. Those proposals are

currently under review and a firm will be

selected and begin work on the design

and specifications in January. Once the

design is complete, bids will accepted for

a general contractor.

Wood Cutting Program:

Project Coordinator Clayton Martinez

The wood cutting programs application

will be available on Monday, December

20, 2021 via AST website. We currently

have 29 ricks of mixed wood (Red Oak,

Post Oak and Black Jack) and still adding

to the inventory. We have assisted three

tribal members since I was hired in November and hopeful we can assist more

as soon as possible. The department has

currently filled laborer positions and will

have a full crew at the beginning of the

2022 year.

that were not spoken for – which was concerning. By some divine intervention, an

answer to prayers was received. ICW received a call from a business in Norman,

OK, who wanted to sponsor all of the 37

unspoken for Angels. So needless to say

– the day we all ventured to pick up the

toys for these Angels from the business,

there were flowing tears of joy. ICW staff

was ever so grateful, as I was, and the employees of the business were just wonderful and very welcoming. They were such

a friendly bunch. I could not have been

happier for our little Angels and for the

Christmas they were going to have. Ne yi

wa to Cimarron Energy-you are an amazing group!

The Homeowner Assistance Fund

(HAF) Program, which will have income

guidelines for participation, is expected

to roll out very soon. I feel this will be

such a beneficial program for ASTs. The

funds are provided by the federal government to help struggling homeowners, due

to COVID-19, who are behind on their

overdue mortgage payments, property

taxes, home insurance and utilities. The

funds will be capped per household and

per assistance but overall is still worth the

participation in this program. The goal of

these supportive funds is to assist families

so they are able to remain in their homes.

We will be creating program advertisements and releasing the communications

to the tribal members once staff is hired

to facilitate the program. The information will be placed in the tribal newsletter,

website and social media – so please be

sure to be on the lookout.

The tax preparation assistance program

will be hosted by my office this year. My

Project Coordinator, Ms. Tina Ontiveros,

did such a wonderful job planning and

implementing the program last year, she

will be spearheading it once again. We are

still working to shore up some details but

expect to begin the first part of February.

We will also advertise this program as it

gets closer for tax season to begin.

Again, Happy New Year and may there

be many blessings to you!

Ho wa se ke sa ke!

It is 2022 and may this beginning

bring you new happiness, new goals, new

achievements and many new inspirations

in your life. I am definitely excited to see

what is in store for our Tribe and for our

tribal people in this New Year.

I would like to quickly report on a couple of December activities. The Winter

General Assistance was a quick roll out

program. Everything is always super hectic in the last quarter of the year however

staff made it work. The in-person event

held on the 10th and 11th was simply

amazing. In 2-days, we issued over 2,100

cards, which equates to over a million

dollars. It was a smooth operation and I

could not be more pleased with the coordinated effort of all.

The ICW Department always hosts a

Christmas Angel Tree for tribal children

in need. This year, there was an inclusion

of tribal elders as well. I personally sponsored 3 (I usually sponsor a child every

year and I love doing so). However, by

early December, staff still had 37 Angels

ASTHS January 2022 Monthly Update

2021 was another amazing and yet challenging year for us all. The Health System completed the final payment on the Joint Venture, retiring the debt several years earlier than anyone could have ever predicted, due in part for the unprecedented growth in our

services and to our Native American patients. We also hit several new revenue benchmarked “historic firsts” in the Health System,

as well as having another clean annual independent audit report. When the Tribe first compacted with I.H.S. several years ago, the

Tribe had a choice of choosing between servicing only AST Tribal members, at a significantly reduced compacted funding level, or

to take or receive all of the funding shares to care for all Tribal members of any Federally Recognized Tribe seeking care at our facilities. The Tribe chose

the latter, and this has provided the Tribe with increased revenues in areas such as Indirect Cost (IDC) supporting Tribal programs for the Health System,

generating of more Third Party Revenues to help fund additional services for the Tribe, and better services for our patients, which in turn generates more

Third Party Revenue. The AST Health System’s phenomenal growth hasn’t come without growing pains. To continue servicing patients in a manner they

have become accustomed to, (with such programs as after-hours on-demand walk-in clinics, pharmacy drive through, specialty clinic, Affordable Care Act

Sponsorships, 100% approval of Medically Necessary Purchased Referred Care Services, Home Health Services, Public Health COVID Vaccinations and

Testing), we need to retain a robust capability in delivering these services by adjusting to our unprecedented growth and success. The I.H.S. Compact with

the AST Tribe does not fully fund any of these programs, and they have to be augmented significantly with Third Party Revenues. In addition, the AST

Health System has taken over the Title 6 Program from the Tribe to ensure its continued viability in servicing AST and other Native American program

participants, thus reducing the financial burden upon the Tribe. The value provided by the AST Health System is historic, invaluable and a source of Tribal

pride! Today, with more doctors, dentist, other professional staff and support staff remaining year after year with the Health System, has the least amount of

overall turnover the Health System has ever had. This is important, as the more stabilized the Health System is, the better effect it has on the patient – who

is the center of everything we do. Stability leads to growth, growth leads to prosperity. This is where we are at today, and we are thankful to the Tribe, our

patients, and our employees for all they do for our communities whom we serve.

We proudly recognize all of our outstanding star performers, and thank them for their contributions to our patients, their fellow employees, and the

Tribe, especially during these challenging times! The AST Health System always strives to make your health its top priority, and you all make a difference

for our health system and the health and wellness of all of our patients – “THANK YOU” for all you do! The 2021 Employee of the Year will be announced

next month – stay tuned!

Medicine Wheel & 12 Steps

The medicine wheel and 12 Step program was developed to provide a culturally

appropriate 12 Step program for Native American people. This program was developed by

White Bison, based upon teachings of the Medicine Wheel, the Cycle of Life and the Four

Laws of Change.

How the Process Works

WHITE BISON, INC.

A CULTURAL APPROACH TO PERSONAL RECOVERY

FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE

WELLBRIETY

WORKING LUNCH

Facilitated by: John Soap, LPC

The Medicine Wheel and 12 Step program is designed in a series of modules that enable

people to meet their individual needs. Participants watch a video that explains Medicine

Wheel teachings and apply them to their lives. In addition, participants share their insights

and experiences in a talking circle. They also learn how to mind map their own innate

knowledge around these teachings and then apply that knowledge to their daily lives and

decision making processes. For those working through the program in a group setting

(i.e. Circles of Recovery) very strong social and emotional bonds are created that help

the individuals who participate to develop trust, autonomy, and other healthy feelings and

thought patterns that will help them to grow emotionally, mentally, physically, and

spiritually.

Focus

The focus of the program is on character and values. Thus each of the 12 Steps

is presented from the perspective of the value that it reflects.

Step 1: Honesty

Step 2: Hope

Step 3: Faith

Step 4: Courage

Step 5: Integrity

Step 6: Willingness

Step 7: Humility

Step 8: Forgiveness

Step 9: Justice

Step 10: Perseverance

Step 11: Spiritual Awakening

The Medicine Wheel is an ancient method for teaching important concepts about truth

and life. Many Native American communities use a Medicine Wheel, although the colors

and the

symbols are different depending upon the culture. The purpose is the same in each

culture. These teachings, when applied to one’s life, have the power to influence significant

change in attitudes, behaviors, values and intent. The Elders have shared a series of

Teachings based upon the Natural Order of the way things should be. These are sometimes

referred to as the “original instructions.” These important Teachings are included in the
