“Without continual growth and
progress, such words as improvement,
achievement, and success have no
meaning”
In late May of 2019 we moved the Selfgovernance department under the Office
of the Treasurer. One of the primary
reasons was the lack of action and
follow- through. Each department and
program should be providing services
to our members and the communities
we serve. In the absence of action and
progress, intended benefits for our tribe
and our members are stripped away.

The parking lot for the multi-purpose
building is just one example. It has been
in a perpetual planning phase for 3 years.
It has been a need that has been requested
from our AST Health System, our
elders, many members and requested at
General Council on multiple occasions.
My office, through the collaborative
efforts of many departments, have
shown continual growth and progress
towards completing the task. I am happy
to report that the parking lot is ahead of
schedule and I anticipate a completion
date in late August. The parking lot

Hello Tribal People!
The hot Summer weather is well
underway now and hopes everyone is
watching the hot temperature and drinking
plenty of water. The months are going
by fast and before everyone realizes, it
will be time for school to start back into
session. There have been a few calls of
why we closed the Horse Shoe Bend
After School Program, one of the reasons
is that there was a few that was attending
the center and that’s due to more activities
that was offered after school at North
Rock Creek School. As the high school
is open we will be taking another look
at the after school program. There may
be a need to re-open the center. Briana
Ponkilla, CCDF Coordinator at Building
Blocks and I will be monitoring it closely
as school starts up.
GAMING COMPACT WITH THE
STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Like to report on the Gaming Compact
as most of you are aware that the compact
is due to expire on January 1, 2020. I
have been reporting of this issue for over
a year during my third administration
and now the time is here and we the
Tribes are facing this issue today. All
39 Tribes in Oklahoma did receive a
letter from Governor Kevin Stitt on July
5, 2019. In the letter Governor Stitt is
asking of renegotiating the Compact
and was advised that the Compact will
not automatically renew. Untrue, the
language of the Compact implies, if no
new compact negotiations are agreed
upon between the Tribes and the State,
the current Compact shall automatically
renew for successive additional fifteen
year terms.
The Governor had indicated in his letter
that our Compact terminates on January
1, 2020, but he has failed to mention the
evergreen provision of the Compact in
Part 15 B. In which the Governor needs
to understand that we view that evergreen
provision as operative and extends the
Compact for an additional fifteen year
term.

I hope all Tribal Members are in good
health and spirits:
Everyone should be taking their hot
weather precautions and checking on our
elderly family members, children and
pets. Making sure they have adequate
cooling and plenty of water.
These past few months have been
a challenge to comprehend with the
Secretarial Election on May 10, 2019,
Annual Election on June 15, 2019 and
Special Meetings. I have been doing
plenty of reading, researching and
contacting the Bureau of Indian Affairs
for clarification. I have attached the
results of the Secretarial Election,
Bureau of Indian Affairs response, AST
Election on June 15, 2019 results and
Resolutions passed on a Special Meeting
called by the Secretary, Treasurer and
Representative. All documents attached
are available to Tribal Members to
request and view.
Resolution No. E-AS-2019-44 passed
April 27, 2019 Shifted oversight of

for the Lt. Governor to the Treasurer.
My duties and oversight are Tribal
Housing Repairs, Grass Mowing and

Lt. Governor’s GF budget is a very
limited budget along with limited
staff for working directly with Tribal
Members. As time moves on I hope for
understanding, cooperation and working
for the same goal we as the Executive
Committee were voted to do.

Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma
FULL Size Documents
on page 4-5
Governor Stitt’s renegotiating approach
is to increase the exclusivity fees that
tribes pay to the State of Oklahoma on
monthly bases. By increasing the fees it
will hurt the size of our Tribe it will take
away services that we provide for you our
tribal people. It will not only decrease or
dissolve the services but it will show to
the Tribes that the State is unwillingly to
take interest in our Tribal Government as
Sovereign Nations.
The Absentee Shawnee Tribe signed the
compact with the State of Oklahoma on
January 27, 2005. In the last 15 years
we have paid $6.6 million dollars in
exclusivity fees to the State. Combining
both the Norman and Shawnee Casino
we employ 155 employees presently in
which 27% are Absentee Shawnee Tribal
people, 18% of other tribal affiliation and
non-tribal 55%.
The Absentee Shawnee Executive
Committee will continue to be active in this
important issue as it will play a big part in
our Tribes future. A few Oklahoma Tribes

BIA UPDATE
In May 2019 I requested an independent
audit to complete a performance review
of our BIA Roads program for FY 2017
and FY 2018. In their report, they found
the following:
• Only 3 of the 26 approved routes were
worked on during 2017.
• Only 1 of the 17 approved projects were
worked on during 2018.
• The program was allowed to procure
goods and services that circumvented our
procurement processes.
• Minimal supervision and accountability
was provided over the program.
• BIA funded assets and tribal equipment
was improperly check out and improperly
used.
• BIA vehicles and equipment were found
improperly stored at personal residences.
A full report of the findings has been
presented to the Executive Committee.
My analysis of the report is that
accountability for the program was
severely lacking, progress was minimal,
and assets were inappropriately utilized.
If we are to expect better outcomes,
then improvement in accountability &
transparency in transportation decisionmaking must happen. Accountability and
transparency happens when decisions are
not unilateral, but done in a collaborative
and team mindset. It is the intent of the
Office of the Treasurer to ensure that the
services and actions in our transportation
programs provides benefits to our tribe
and our members.
Action Items Include:
• Michael Deer was hired on as the
BIA Roads Manager. He will have
responsibility for the roads and
transportation budget. He will report
to the Director of Self Governance.
Currently he meets with my office on
a weekly basis to provide updates on
projects and trainings.
• Monthly reviews of the Transportation
Improvement Plan priorities listing.
• Controls have been placed to ensure
that the procurement office is included
on all purchases.
• Controls have been placed on BIA
roads equipment to ensure they are not
housed at personal residence.
• We are currently looking for an
experienced
Director
for
SelfGovernance.
Additionally, we will be meeting Ken
Reinfeld, Senior Policy/Program Analyst
of the Office of Self-Governance in late
July to go over the Self Governance
Compact, BIA Annual Funding
Agreement and the Tribal Transportation
Program.
Mid-Year Budget Review
Each year we perform a mid-year
budget review of all governmental and
operational budgets. This process begins
in late June and finishes up in early Aug.
This is a routine aspect of our budgeting
cycle. This process helps us to eliminate
the element of surprise, acknowledges
past and present expenditures while
focusing on future funding needs, and
addresses current funding needs and
forecasts major expenses. The office
of the Treasurer focuses on budget
transparency and education to our
directors and programs. The mid-year
budget review helps to keep everyone
on the same page and helps to keep
expenditures and funding needs on track.
I feel that our budgeting process has
been very informative and beneficial for
our departments, grants and programs.
Being budget conscious is a strong tool
that we utilize
2018 Financial Audit
The 2018 audit has been completed and
turned into our reporting agencies on
time. The EC and AST Health System
will meet with the Audit team in late
July to go over the audit process and
discuss any findings. The annual audit is
a verification process of your company’s
financial systems and statements. Our
auditors look at the accuracy of our
finances and our internal processes
and lets us know if internal control
steps should be taken to help protect
our organization against fraud. An
audit is designed to provide reasonable
assurance that financial statements
prepared by the Office of the Treasurer
and tribal finance are presented fairly,
in the best interest of the tribe, and in
conformity with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA)
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles (GAAP). We utilize audit
as a performance improvement plan to
identify weaknesses in our accounting
processes and correct financial problems.

Executive Committee
August 2019
Secretary’s
Report
By John Johnson, AST Secretary
Hello Tribal Members,
Let me start by saying I have received
many phone calls from concerned tribal
members regarding our most recent
election. I am just as concerned and
am at a loss as to why this has drug on
for so long. I have asked the Election
Commission to be transparent as
possible and let the tribal members know
what is going on. But I have yet to see
any definitive communication from the
Election Commission. A majority of
the tribal members are very concerned
with the lack of action from the Election
Commission, and frankly, so am I. I have
honestly and fairly won both the primary
election and the run-off election, by a
large margin. I have asked the Election
Commission, why they haven’t certified
the election? The Election Ordinances
do NOT allow the Election Commission
to stop an election or allow them to NOT
certify the election. It is the responsibility
of the Election Commission to hold an
election and certify our tribal election
with a swearing in ceremony. But this
has not happened! I am disappointed and
extremely frustrated as to the cowardly,
political tactics used to disrupt our tribal
election process.
Clearly Edwina Butler-Wolfe and our old
tribal AG, William Norman with Hobbs
Straus, did not have the best interest of
the tribe when introducing the Secretarial
Elections. In fact they both stated in an
Executive Committee meeting and at the
April General Council that the secretarial
election would NOT interfere with the
tribal elections. Obviously they were
lying and have been lying to all of us.
The resolution voted on by the Executive
Committee did not include wording
that the new Executive Committee
terms would be effective immediately.
Additionally, our Constitution Revision
Committee never submitted item “B” for
the secretarial election. All 3200 eligible
tribal members did not receive a packet?
After correcting the Eligible tribal
members list twice, the eligible voters
list was then given directly to William
Norman who personally drove down
to the BIA in Anadarko and persuaded
the BIA to quickly hold the Secretarial
Election. William Norman, as the AG
for the Tribe, failed to tell them that
the Tribe was in the middle of elections
and that we were going into Election
runoffs. To quote an email from William
Norman was received on December 19,
2018 at 5:30p.m., “THE BIA WILL
GENERALLY AVOID SCHEDULING
A SECRETARIAL ELECTION AT
THE SAME TIME AS TRIBAL
ELECTIONS. THE BIA’S ELECTION
OFFICIALS WILL ASSEMBLE AND
MAIL A SECRETARIAL ELECTION
NOTICE 30-60 DAYS BEFORE THE
ELECTION TO ALL PERSONS ON
THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS LIST. “As
the AG for the tribe, what was the
main reason for pushing the Secretarial
election so quickly, was it for personal
gain or one body of the Executive
Committee? Both Edwina Butler-Wolfe
and our old AG deceived the Executive
Committee and all our tribal people. I
regret not seeing through their deception
and not addressing this issue sooner. I
am and will always continue to work in
the best interest of the tribe.
In response to the Governor’s report:
July 2019
The same issues of negativity keep
coming up from Edwina. Every past and
present report made by Edwina ButlerWolfe is always about what she doesn’t
like; what EC member did what; what
key positions non-native employees
hold, etc. She brings up old cases that
have been thoroughly investigated. So,
tell me how and why any of those things
are relevant to moving the tribe forward.
Her bullying tactics are unnecessary and
should not be created by the Governor of
the Tribe. In her report, I have never seen
anything she has done for the tribe. She
has been in office for 6 years and I have
not seen any real growth or any positive
direction that she has lead us in. Our
bank under her oversight has crumbled.
She has no economic development she
can point to. She hasn’t displayed any
leadership skills that have benefited our
tribe. Ask her and you will find she has
Report continued page 5
August 2019

Continued Report from page 4
no plans for the future of our tribe. The
only thing she has is negativity, bad
business practices and unprofessional
leadership.
She also talks about doing away with the
3 signatures to move business forward.
To clarify, our Constitution states 3
signatures are required to do business.
Edwina Butler-Wolfe is aware of what
the EC is trying to do or what the plans
are. If she doesn’t like the plan or it isn’t
her idea, she just refuses to hear them.
That is not a leader, those are actions of
a spoiled child. Every meeting that has
been held are all informal meetings to go
over issues, corresponding documents or
business deals. That is the purpose of a
committee to discuss issues, ideas and
business proposals and get everyone on
the same page.
At one time, these meetings were being
held, every Monday morning at 9:00
a.m. but I’m not sure why she decided
she didn’t want to hold these meetings as
her duty as the Governor. She stated “it
being the duty of the Governor to have
general supervision of the affairs of the
Executive Committee and to perform
all duties pertaining to the office of the
Governor” then do these duties, attend the
meetings, then you would know and have
an input. Everything that is passed by
resolution, contract or business proposal
has went across her desk some way or
another. Tell me how the Governor
of “our” Tribe can easily cancel these
informal meetings then complain to
tribal members that she doesn’t have any
idea what is going on. She does know
she just doesn’t want to acknowledge it.
She has one mind set and that is self-gain.
Every month her report states she attends
all these meetings but what information
is brought back to the tribe pertaining
to the meetings. I ask you again, what
information do you get from reading her
articles? These articles are unnecessary,
and they do not pertain to tribal business.
Is that what tribal members really want
to hear? Do you really want to know
the gossip and rumors that are going on?
How about you ask why the Horseshoe
bend afterschool program closed; why
there are so many complaints on Building
Blocks; or why All Nations Bank is not
progressing. Why don’t you ask her
these questions? It is your right to know.
Your questions and concerns need to be
answered.
Our people have spoken and have clearly
elected me as our tribe’s new Governor.
Edwina Butler-Wolfe should leave on
positive terms, not be asked to leave. A
true leader would and should step down
with grace, rather than fight to keep her
position through deceit.
You’re newly elected Governor,
John Johnson

Greetings Tribal Members:
Since my last article, I have been engaged in many different activities—
some that require strategic planning;
some that will promote the Absentee
Shawnee tribe; some that celebrate
our culture and traditions; and some
that bridge gaps in our day-to-day
operations. All of these activities
cover a broad range of topics and
are projects or activities that are required to build our tribe and its operations.
Cultural Preservation. The Cultural
Preservation Department staff have
been working extremely hard and
delivering big to our tribal members!
The “can” making class, “ribbon
supported and participated in these
classes. The CP staff truly enjoys
sharing their time and work with all
tribal members and will continue to
bring classes that can be enjoyed by
all tribal members.
The Stomp Dance Demonstration
with Camp Nikoti and CCDF Summer Youth Programs was a huge
success. CP’s goal is to ensure that
we pass down to our children songs
and dances so that each generation
can learn about our culture and traditions. The CP staff sewed late into
the night before the event making
ribbon skirts for the youth to wear as
they participated in the stomp dance.
Thanks to all the leaders who participated and helped to make this a
successful event. Also, everyone was
treated to lunch--Indian Tacos!!
A job well done by all!
environmental testing reports are required
by the structural engineer in order to
complete the work for the entry gate,
cabins and shower house foundations.
Once these are completed, the final
cabin and gate layouts can be proposed
and further design work for OEC power
lines, septic piping, lagoon design and
installation can be initiated.
Gaming Commission. I am undertaking
a full review of the Gaming Commission
Department. My goal is to improve the
performance and deliverables. I am in
the process of amending the Gaming
Ordinance. The primary change is to
improve the Ordinance whereby all five
(5) Executive Committee members are
the ultimate decision makers—not just
one EC member. With these changes,
there will be a fair and consistent process
to access the IT services provided by the
tribe. I have started the process to bring the
Gaming Commission online at the tribal
complex so that the Gaming Commission
can receive all electronic services and
communications expediently.
This
will greatly improve the overall work
functions and efficiencies conducted by
the Gaming Commission.
Other. It was a great honor to be invited
to attend RADM Meeks’ retirement
in Oklahoma City. RADM Meeks
was responsible for the provision of
comprehensive healthcare services to
one of the largest and most diverse IHS
service populations. He was a great
champion and supporter of our Absentee
Shawnee Health System. We wish him
well as he embarks on a much deserved
retirement.
Quote: The task of the leader is to get their people from where they are
to where they have not been.
Youth attendees, Employees and Leaders
The Shawnee News Star visited Cultural
Preservation and interviewed Andrea,
Devon and myself about the Absentee
Shawnee Tribe. The primary focus of
the interview was the preservation of the
Shawnee Language and what is being
done to preserve our Shawnee Language.
We discussed the grants that CP is
pursuing that will help in the building
of a solid language program; CP’s youth
outreach; and CP’s efforts to engage local
schools. Devon Frasier talked about the
Language Bingo. The SNS reported
was very interested in this approach for
sharing the Shawnee language with the
youth. The SNS will be interviewing
several other local tribes and once she
has completed all interviews, an article
will be printed in the SNS. Be on the
lookout for this article—but it may be a
few months before it goes to press!
Andrea, Devon and I traveled to Tulsa to
attend the Gilcrease Museum’s NAGPRA
Consultation.
The agenda included
the history of the museum, collections,
NAGPRA
implementation,
goals,
objectives, ethnographic, CUI inventories
and examinations. We examined the
museum’s Shawnee inventory and other
Native American items of interest. It was
a real privilege to view and touch many
of these wonderfully preserved artifacts.
The Gilcrease Museum has a wonderful
facility equipped to preserve and protect
all of the collected artifacts. Gilcrease
Museum is owned by the City of Tulsa,
which is partnered with the University
of Tulsa to steward the museum. The
museum will be undertaking a $75
million expansion.
Human Resources. The HR Director,
Elizabeth Snow, will be providing
a detailed report in this issue on her
department’s activities.
In summation for CP and HR--In business,
it is important to find people you can

those reliable employees. Thanks for all
your hard work.
Economic Development. I am so very
pleased to support ASEDA in its Hemp
Pilot Project. ASEDA staff is striving
to bring economic development to the
forefront. This project has such a strong
upside potential for our tribe. We need
to diversify and this is just one step on a
long road that will bring progress to our
tribe. Secretary Johnson, Treasurer Ellis
and I whole heartedly support and back
ASEDA.
Assisted Living Action Committee. It
appears there were several attempts to
undertake a project for an Assisted Living
Center many years ago. Researching
past records indicates that no feasibility
study was ever conducted. This is a
vital element for funding purposes and
needs assessment. The Assisted Living
Action Committee conducted an RFP
and undertook review of 11 companies to
perform this work. In the June Executive
Committee meeting, a resolution was
passed to fund a feasibility study for an
Assisted Living Center. I am pleased to
announce that we have engaged a firm to
conduct the feasibility study and work
will begin in the next few days. It is
anticipated that the study will take 6 to 9
weeks to complete.
Youth Camp. The RFP to select a
construction company to complete
Phase II has been completed. Etters
Construction, Norman, OK, won the bid.
Ken Jones, Director of OEH, and Etters
Construction are currently meeting with
the design team and various professionals
who will be working to complete Phase

AST Health Fair. I attended our annual AST Health Fair in Little Axe. The health
fair is designed to educate the community about specific health issues with the goal
of promoting better health and obtaining a healthier life style. The clinic continues

employees and the community. Thank you to all of the clinic employees who worked
so hard to provide this health fair for everyone!

As the Tribes in Oklahoma are in for a
battle with this Gaming Compact it is
vital that we the Executive Committee
work together and not fight with one
another. We need to fight together and
make sure our Tribal People (and that is
you) are taken care of and do our job as
elected leaders. Treasurer Ellis and I have
talked on moving forward and looking at
a clean slate. I do believe he truly means
it and I am willing to move forward as a
whole of 5 elected leaders.
I appreciate Tribal Members that have
come by my office or called with their
concerns. My door is open unless I am
in a meeting or attending a meeting
elsewhere. My office is open and not
behind locked doors.
Help make a difference and stand
beside me and let us empower each and
everybody to build for a better future.

Starting the new school year can be a
time of great excitement and anxiety.
Here are some teacher-approved tips to
calm your child’s fears (and your own).
1. Meet the new teacher. Take
advantage of the school’s open house
or back to school night.
2. Tour the school. Helping to
familiarize your child with their
classroom, desks, cafeteria and even
the playground helps to avoid a
nervous stomach on the first day.
3. Connect with friends. I always try
to encourage parents to have their
children’s friend’s parents’ phone
numbers to schedule outings to refresh
friendships before school starts.
4. Tool up. Obtain the school supply
list and go on a shopping trip with
your child-hint: get those extra credit
items if you are able to. It can come
in handy.
5. Ease into the routine. Avoid first
day chaos by practicing routines
a few days in advance. Set alarm
clocks and go through the morning
ritual. Routines help children feel
comfortable and this will help make
first day so much smoother.
AST member 9 yrs old Joshua Foreman completed a prestigious Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Program recently with
the support of the health system and the health boards. Young Josh Foreman
was the youngest student ever sponsored from Tecumseh within this National
Program to expose students to mathematics and science programs via the STEM
effort at student outreach for bright students with a focus upon developing their
interest, and their potential, in future STEM careers, including medicine. Pictured
are: Grandparents, Leonard and Serena Foreman and brother Jacob Foreman
providing an impressive project presentation to the Health Boards meeting on
16 July 2019 upon his return from his STEM program. The health programs
continue to aggressively invest interest, time, and effort in developing AST and
area Native American talent with a drive for medicine and health programs to
reinvest in our local tribal communities, growing our talent locally for the future.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma
Department of Human Services
(DHS) Director Justin Brown has
named Samantha Galloway Chief of
Staff. Galloway most recently served
as Executive Director of Oklahoma
Community-based Providers (OCP), the
statewide association of providers who
serve Oklahomans with developmental
disabilities.
“Samantha’s skill set is unrivaled, and
the fact that she is driven to use these
skills for the benefit of those in the
most need is a testament to her high
moral code and her selfless approach
to service,” said Brown. “The agency is
honored to have her depth of experience
to serve alongside thousands of other
dedicated team members, and we are
all undoubtedly stronger and better
positioned to help those in need because
of her commitment to DHS.”
Tribal Services
August 2019
Come to the Cultural Preservation Building and have
your pictures scanned and handed right back to you.
Together we can make a
living history.
We would like to film our people’s history in their own words
and keep it here at the library for future generations to be able to
access, and learn from.
Galloway is a familiar face at DHS.
She began her career in 2005 as a
Developmental Disabilities Services
(DDS) case manager before serving as
DHS legislative liaison until 2016.
“My career has been spent almost
exclusively in human services,” said
Galloway. “Returning to DHS is truly
like coming home for a season. The
work we do each and every day at DHS
must be focused on the person we are
serving, whether it is a person with a
developmental disability trying to live
and work in their community, a family
in need of support towards stabilization,
a child in need of protection, or a senior
in need of supports to remain safe and
healthy in their home. We are here for
service, period.”
Galloway provides strategic counsel
about agency priorities with an
emphasis on transparency and customer
service. She works with Director Brown
to implement successful outcomes and
strengthen relationships with DHS
providers who help the agency serve
vulnerable Oklahomans.
“I have had the pleasure of spending
a considerable amount of time with
Justin as he prepared to become the
new DHS Director,” said Galloway. “It
was through those interactions that I
became fully confident that he has the
competency and heart to lead DHS.”
Galloway is a past Executive Director
of Washington (Parish) Economic
Development in Bogalusa, Louisiana
and former Director of Community
Services at the Center of Family Love
in Okarche, Oklahoma.
She earned a Bachelor’s Degree
in Speech Communication from
Southeastern Louisiana University.
Galloway began her duties as Chief of
Staff June 17.

Absentee Shawnee Tribal Taxes
A variety of tribal taxes are currently assessed and collected by the Absentee Shawnee Tax Commission to generate revenue used by
the Absentee Shawnee Tribe ("the Tribe") to benefit our Tribal Members. These tribal taxes, their due dates and reporting and payment
requirements are outlined below. If you have questions or need assistance with your tribal taxes, please contact the Absentee Shawnee
Tax Commission by phone or at the address found at the bottom of this document. You can also visit our website for more information.
Sales & Lodger's Tax
Application for Business License
The Absentee Shawnee Tribe levies a 6% Sales Tax on the gross receipts
of anyone engaging in business within the Tribe's jurisdiction, including
receipts from:
All businesses located within the Tribe's jurisdiction
must obtain a business license from the Tribe for a $100
fee. The Application for Business License, available
from the Absentee Shawnee Tax Commission, must be
renewed each year by January 1.
• Performing services
• Selling tangible personal property
• Leasing or renting tangible personal property, lodging or hotel rooms
Sales & Lodger's Tax Reporting,
Payment & Penalties
• Admission fees to any place of recreation or entertainment
Severance Tax
The Sales & Lodger's Tax return must be submitted to
the Absentee Shawnee Tax Commission by the 15th of
the following month. 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.

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.

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.

ASEDA
Report
David Deer
ASEDA Projects Coordinator
Cell:(405)430-6018
Office:405275-4030 ext. 6263
Greetings and blessings to all,
we hope this report finds you in
good health and spirit.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT
On June 24, 2019 ASEDA, Inc. formed
a partnership with Native American
Hemp, LLC. and applied for a 2019
industrial hemp license to grow hemp
pursuant to the requirements of the
Oklahoma Industrial Hemp Pilot
Program. ASEDA, Inc. is excited to
announce it received notification of a
full application approval on July 15,
2019 placing us at the forefront in
Indian Country of this booming and
lucrative industry.
Seed has been purchased and field
preparations such as mowing and
plowing have been completed to plant
a 10-acre test crop at the Hardesty
property. Native American Hemp Chief
Operations Officer Aaron Fournier says
“ASEDA’s groundbreaking industrial
hemp project is an innovative enterprise
that will help diversify the Tribe’s
economic base and create jobs for
Tribal Members, while at the same time
providing significant environmental
benefits by cleaning and enriching the
soil and removing carbon from the air.
It’s a tremendous example of how a
Tribe can undertake forward-thinking
business activities and lead an industry,
while staying true to traditional values
and being protectors of the land.” We
are very excited to work with the team
from Native American Hemp to get this
project started and developed into an
economic success.
ASEDA is very appreciative of the
teamwork and help it has received from
the various Tribal departments to get
the project moving. We would also like
to recognize Secretary/Governor Elect
John Johnson, Treasurer Phillip Ellis
and Representative Atheda Fletcher
for not only taking time to attend the
meetings and presentations but for fully
supporting our efforts to move forward.
A big thank you to all! Be looking
out for more updates as the project
progresses.
8a UPDATE
We are a little behind for hitting some
target dates on our 8a timeline but we
continue to progress toward completing
the registration and application process
to become certified for government
contracting. To date all registrations
Reminder: Deadline for Each issue
is the 15th of the previous month!
Pictured: Before and after field preparation of the Hardesty property for the Oklahoma Industrial Hemp Pilot Program crop.
are complete except for the approval of
our CAGE codes which is backlogged
due to a high volume of registrations
and a recent crash of the site. Once the
codes are approved the application will
be completed and submitted to SBA for
approval.
GRANT OPPORTUNITY ASEDA,
Inc teamed up with the accounting
firm Baker-Tilley to pursue its first
grant opportunity by submitting an
application for the Native American
Business
Development
Institute
(NABDI) Grant on July 1, 2019. The
objective of the NABDI grant is to
enable tribes to conduct a feasibility
study on the viability of an economic
development project, opportunity,
enterprise, business or technology.
This will help weigh risks to determine
whether a project is worth pursuing.
Feasibility studies also empower tribes
to make informed decisions regarding
their economic futures by distinguishing
viable economic opportunities from
investments and enterprises that have a
high likelihood of failure. This will also
be useful down the line for third-party
due-diligence documentation for our
Tribe and ASEDA, Inc. when seeking
capital, federal or state grants, or other
kinds of funding for a project.
Awards for the NABDI grant averaged
$33,333 in 2018. Our list consisted of
six properties for the application to
conduct the feasibility study on, those
are:
Hardesty Property
Lillard Pipe Property
Tecumseh Square Property
Earlsboro Property
Kickapoo Street Property
Union Street Property
We feel very confident working with
Baker-Tilley that an award letter will
be coming soon and so be looking
for updates in future editions of your
newsletter. Thank you to all who
assisted knowledge and expertise to
help complete the application.
God bless the Absentee Shawnee Tribe
and Members.

AST Diabetes and Wellness Fitness Tips
Summer is here and I know many of us been longing for summer exercise! Whether it is at the lake skiing, tubing, walking, biking at the park, playing sports, or even
working in the garden, it is important to prepare yourself for the heat. Exercising in the heat can be risky if you are not careful. Heat Stress can be very dangerous and
can cause problems with your health. If your body isn’t use to the heat try to slowly adjust to the heat by gradually increasing the time you spend in it.
Below are some real heat stress issues to pay attention to, such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration, and some other less Severe, but preventable health problems
such as heat cramps, fainting, and prickly heat rash that may also occur while exercising in the heat.
So Continue to exercise and do outdoor activities but just be aware Heat Stress
because you may not realize any of these symptoms until it’s too late. Heat Stress
can alter your coordination, lessen concentration, reduce strength and alertness, and
make you very irritable.
Drink 10-16 ounces (a glass) of cold fluid 15-30 minutes before working out.
Continue to do so every 15 minutes during exercise, and maybe even add a small
beverage with some electrolytes, potassium, or even a little sodium if you seem to
be sweating a lot to prevent dehydration.
All of us at the AST Diabetes and Wellness Fitness Center encourage you to be
active and safe this summer. So, go exercise and have fun but don’t forget to take
breaks to hydrate and remember to listen to your body. Children and the elderly
may become dehydrated faster than normal, so keep an eye out for that. You can’t
do your best if you don’t feel your best! Remember exercise is very important to
keep a strong and healthy body. If you don’t want to be in the heat, swing by the
AST Fitness Center and work out indoors. We offer indoor fitness classes such
as Circuit Training, Strength/ Aerobic Training, HITT, Core–N-More, Zumba, and
Cardio Kickboxing at the AST Little Axe Resource Center and Little Axe Health
Clinic.
