Larney FDIC Pictured with the honoree are (L to R) Dr. Catherine Alicia Georges, AARP National Volunteer President, Teewanna Edwards, AARP Oklahoma Executive Council member, and Mashell Sourjohn, AARP OK Associate State Director Outreach. The Absentee Shawnee Tribe has partnered with United For Oklahoma to educate Oklahomans on the critical role the tribes play in our state’s future. These are the facts every Oklahoman must know. More than 900 people were in attendance as 52 distinguished elders were honored at the AARP Oklahoma 11th annual Indian Elder Honors celebration at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, October 1, 2019. Absentee Shawnee Tribe Walter L. Larney’s service to his country and tribe is long and distinguished. Commander Larney is a decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served with distinction in Vietnam. He was presented the Navy Achievement Medal for his superior leadership and performance of duties in an exemplary manner. Commander Larney participated in several major combat operations and repeatedly distinguished himself by his courage and composure under fire. Commander Larney’s service continued at home with the Absentee Shawnee Veterans Association. His active involvement includes participating in color guard ceremonies throughout the state and nation. Under his leadership as Commander, the Absentee Shawnee Veterans Association has participated in veteran events at the local, state and federal level. The Absentee Shawnee Color Guard is easily recognized throughout Indian country. Commander Larney is a respected member of the community and active in events, whether traditional or contemporary.

Work behind the scenes of our tribal entities In the entertainment and hospitality industry customer service is such an essential aspect of the business, it is crucial that time and energy be forth to achieve levels of service and then continued work to maintain those levels. We are proud of all of our team members and appreciate the effort put in day in and day out. Over the last 18 months we have instituted secret shops, employee recognition events, and management training classes at Thunderbird Entertainment Center. Recently management level team members began to take Fred Pryor Management classes with exams at the conclusion of completing videos assigned. The feedback from those offered classes has been positive and will continue to benefit all those involved. In late December 2017 the casinos began Secret Shops to both casino locations to get much needed feedback on the areas we can develop. While receiving feedback each area was graded with a percentile of performance, we also began working with those areas and saw improvement by mid-2018. As we come to the close of 2019 we continue get reports of good secret shops and reports of 100% scores; which is considered to be in the extroidanary service level on our grading scale. Once a quarter employee appreciation luncheons are hosted to take time to recognize those team members who behavior, efforts, or service, supports the organization’s goals and values. Team members who receive 100% shops are given a $50 gift card and repeating team members who receive a second 100% are given a $100 gift card and this quarter we had four team members reach that mark! We congratulate and thank our team members for their efforts! 2 Executive Committee www. astribe.com John Johnson GOVERNOR November 2019 Kenneth Blanchard Ezra DeLodge Phillip Ellis Atheda Fletcher LT.

The Eagle Adventure program is a collaboration project of the AST Diabetes and Wellness Program and Oklahoma Tribal Engagement Partners. The curriculum is a type 2 diabetes education and prevention program for student’s in 1st-3rd grades, and is based on the Eagle book series published by the CDC. The program consists of 7 visits to a local school which includes the Eagle Play visit. The Eagle books and program are enriched with Native American culture, and speak to children about making good food and activity choices, to help them grow up healthy and prevent chronic disease. The curriculum is tailored to the culture and language of each tribe delivering the program. Therefore, in our programming, the Shawnee language is incorporated into each visit to the school, through the Eagle stories and activities. The Eagle Play introduces the students to the characters in the Eagle books, highlights the topics that will be discussed in their classrooms throughout the semester and helps to get the children excited about the program. The characters in the Eagle play: Mr. Eagle, Miss www.astribe.com/newsletters Rabbit, and a clever trickster, Coyote, engage Rain That Dances and Thunder Cloud in the joy of being physically active, eating healthy foods and learning from their elders about traditional ways of being healthy. We would like to send a special thank you to the following AST Health Center staff for their participation in bringing the Eagle Play to life for the children of Will Rogers Elementary: • Jessica New Moon, AST Eagle Adventure Educator, Intro/Outro • Dr. Reading, Chiropractor, Mr. Eagle • Chrissy Wiens, Physical Activity Specialist, Miss Rabbit • Corey Shawnee, HIM Specialist, Coyote Developing healthy habits in our younger generation is important to keep our culture and traditions alive. Chronic disease prevention should begin with our youth and the Eagle Adventure program is a living example of the type of collaborative efforts that are needed to improve the future for our youngest members. We are looking forward to delivering the rest of our programming at Will Rogers and expanding to other area schools. Ne yi wa! Thank you!

Reduce Risk of HPV-related cancers infections, Prevent your child from SPREADING HPV BY UP TO 99% NOT TREAT THEM to future sexual partners when fully protected with the recommended doses The recommended age to receive the HPV vaccine is 11 or 12, however it is not too late for 13-26 year olds to get vaccinated as well. 11-12 YEAR OLDS develop a higher level of the protective antibody that the body generates after immunization, compared with older adolescents and young adults. This may result in longer lasting immunity. THE HPV VACCINE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE 10 YEARS. There is no evidence to suggest this level of protection changes over time. ........................ Clinical trials and ongoing research have shown the HPV vaccine’s protection remains strong for at least Since the vaccine was licensed, ONLY 0.0003% of patients reported side effects – and most of those were “non-serious” symptoms such as headache, nausea and dizziness. You are the key to HPV cancer prevention. Get your child vaccinated at the recommended age of 11 or 12 years, to protect them and their future partners from contracting HPV.

For example, for gross receipts collected from March 1-31, the tax return would be due April 15. Businesses that fail to file and pay this tax on time will be assessed 12% annual interest on the total amount due, plus a penalty of 2% of the tax due per month, up to a total of 12% of the total tax due. The Absentee Shawnee Tribe levies an 8% Severance Tax on the gross market value of all oil and gas products severed from the land within the Tribe's jurisdiction. The tax is not levied upon any Indian royalty payments. Designation of Agent Form An additional 5% Lodger's Tax is imposed on gross taxable rental receipts from hotels, motels, resorts, lodging houses, or other premises occupied for fewer than 30 days. Both Sales and Lodger's Taxes may be passed on to consumers. A person responsible for meeting all obligations of the Severance Tax, including reporting and payment of the assessed tax, must be designated in writing. The necessary Designation of Agent Form is available from the Absentee Shawnee Tax Commission. To calculate the Severance Tax, you must first calculate the volume of oil and gas products separately, as outlined in the table below. Multiply the total volume of each by their gross market value, then subtract any allowable Indian Royalty Deduction to arrive at the total taxable amount. Multiply the total taxable amount by 8% to arrive at the amount of tax due. ( Total Product Volume x Gross Market Value Total Taxable Amount x )8% Indian Royalty Deduction = = Total Taxable Amount Severance Tax Reporting & Payment Reporting and Payment of the Severance Tax to the Absentee Shawnee Tax Commission is due within 45 days following the end of the calendar month in which the taxable product was severed. For example, if taxable products were severed in March, the tax return and payment would be due by no later than May 15. Total Severance Tax Due How to Calculate Total Oil Volume How to Calculate Total Gas Volume The total volume of severed oil taxable products—before any deductions are taken for processing, transportation, industry-standard shrinkage, etc.—is measured either according to current contracts of sale between the operator/ producer and the purchaser; or in barrels of 42 U.S. gallons of 231 cubic inches per gallon, at a temperature of 60° F, per U.S. Geological Survey regulations. The total volume of severed gas taxable products is measured at the wellhead—before any deductions are taken for processing, transportation, industry-standard shrinkage, etc.—in units of 1,000 cubic feet (MCF) and corrected to standard temperature and pressure, per U.S. Geological Survey regulations.

That’s about 1 million young children, the highest of any age group. We need your help closing this gap in the 2020 Census. Here’s what research tells us about why young children are missed and what you can do to help make sure they are counted. Common situations where young children aren’t counted How you can help? • Emphasize that the census counts everyone where they live and sleep most of the time, even if the living arrangement is temporary or the parents of the child do not live there. The child splits time between two homes. The child lives or stays with another family or with another relative such as a grandparent. The child lives in a lower income household. • If the child truly spends equal amounts of time between two homes, count them where they stayed on Census Day, April 1. Coordinate with the other parent or caregiver, if possible, so the child is not counted at both homes. • If it’s not clear where the child lives or sleeps most of the time, count them where they stayed on Census Day, April 1. • Explain to service providers and families that responding to the census helps determine $675 billion in local funding for programs such as food stamps (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or SNAP), the National School Lunch Program, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). When children are missed in the census, these programs miss out on funding that is based on the number of children counted. • Explain that filling out the census yourself, on your own schedule, is easier than having to respond when a census worker knocks on your door. Remind these households that the form should only take about 10 minutes to fill out and can be done online or over the phone, in addition to mailing it back. Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services The child lives in a household with young parents or a young, single mom. • Encourage moms with young children to ask other household members to count them and their children on the form if others live in the household. • Emphasize that parents should include babies on census forms, even if they are still in the hospital on April 1. Encourage facilities providing services to newborns to remind parents about the importance of counting their children on the census form. The child is a newborn. • Highlight the fact that the census form only takes about 10 minutes to complete. Parents can fill it out online or over the phone in addition to paper at a time that works best for them.
