GOVERNOR RESIGNS From Lt. Governor Isaac Gibson: Family and friends, in case you haven’t heard I am resigning or stepping down from my Lt. Governors position. This is a hard decision that I’ve been thinking over for the last few months. I have an opportunity to make a change in my career path by taking a position with the State of Oklahoma that would allow me to work towards a retirement opportunity. I’ve enjoyed my time here and made a lot of friends and watched a lot of friends and co-workers advance within the tribe and also move on from the tribe in their career choices. I truly believe that all the things I have been challenged with in the past 3 years, accomplished and triumphed over as the Lt. Governor during all the ups and downs, has given me a new perspective on tribal government and I truly feel that I am leaving this office with a clear conscience and have no regrets in the decisions, actions and interactions I made during my time as an elected official. With that being said, I believe the tribe has the ability to move forward in a positive direction that will be beneficial to all. I especially want to thank all the employees who I worked with over the years and all the employees who worked with my office to help me help the Absentee Shawnee people. FROM THE ELECTION COMMISSION Tribal Members: This is to announce that the Election Commission has changed the day and time of their regular monthly meeting. The meeting will now be held on the second Wednesday of each month and the meeting will start at 6:30 pm. The new day and time will be in effect for the November meeting. Executive Committee Edwina Butler-Wolfe Isaac Gibson John Johnson Leah Bates Anthony Johnson Governor Lt. Governor Secretary Treasurer Representative Monthly Executive Committee meetings can be watched online at astribe.com Governor’s Report Hello friends, neighbors, relatives and Tribal members at large! First and foremost, I would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to our tribal people that were in the path of the two hurricanes that passed through Houston, Texas and the State of Florida. Several tribal members contacted the tribe and I made sure to call our tribal people that I knew that lived in these areas to ensure that they were ok. These were terrible storms that left so much damage to the towns, homes and everyone lives. I hope this is not a sign of what our winter will be like. On August 17, 2017, I was invited to speak at Seminole State College for a one-hour symposium on “Native Women Power”. This symposium was sponsored by the Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI). NASNTI is committed to empowering student academic success through postsecondary options leading to baccalaureate transfer and socioeconomic stability. The NASNTI program has three components: revision of high-risk courses, comprehensive professional development, and engagement services for students. Each component compliments and links to the other components, creating an array of strategies and services that work together to enhance and increase the potential for student success and retention. Additionally, on August 30, 2017, I attended the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education (OCEE) luncheon along with Tresha Spoon, Education Director of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe, and Sherry Marsh, CTSA Director and staff member. The OCEE goal is to reach and teach every child to create a more informed citizenry capable of making better decisions as saver, investors, borrowers, voters, and participants in the global economy. They do this by educating the educators: providing the curriculum tools, programming support, and community of peers for Oklahoma K-12 teachers to instruct, inspire, and guide. I am happy to mention that Tresha has been involved in this program and has an active role as a Board of Director. Also, on September 11, 2017 was the monthly directors meeting. Due to scheduling conflicts I had to move the meeting up a week from the regular scheduled meeting. I want to thank Secretary Johnson for taking time to attend these monthly meetings. It is important that we as the Executive Committee meet with the Directors of our programs to see what each program is doing for our tribal people. I also want to thank the Finance staff for attending the September directors meeting. It is very important to have our finance department to attend, especially, now that we are looking at starting our budget process for 2018. And it is very important that each director have the opportunity to sit with the Executive Committee and the Finance Staff to go over their 2018 budget and answer any questions that they may have. Listed below are the departments that attended the Director’s meeting and additional meetings that I attended. Departments present at the September Directors Meeting: Media, Police, Indian Child Welfare, Building Blocks CCDF, Enrollment, Absentee Shawnee Housing, Human Resource, Finance, Health, Education, Social Services and Domestic Violence.

The celebration is growing more and more popular with everyone – kids to adults – and the American Red Cross has some safety tips people can follow to help stay safe this Halloween while enjoying the festivities. SAFETY TIPS FOR TRICK-or-TREATERS As parents get their kids ready for Halloween, here are some tips they should follow: • Use only flame-resistant costumes. • Plan the trick-or-treat route - make sure adults know where children are going. A parent or responsible adult should accompany young children as they make their way around the neighborhood. • Make sure trick-or-treaters can see, and be seen. Give them a flashlight to light their way. Add reflective tape to costumes and Trick-or-Treat bags. Have everyone wear light-colored clothing to be seen. • Instead of masks, which can cover the eyes and make it hard to see, use face paint instead. • Be cautious around animals, especially dogs. • Visit only the homes that have a porch light on. Accept treats at the door – never go inside. • Walk only on the sidewalks, not in the street. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the edge of the roadway, facing traffic. Look both ways before crossing the street, and cross only at the corner. Don’t cut across yards or use alleys. Don’t cross between parked cars. • Make sure a grown-up checks the goodies before eating. Remove loose candy, open packages and choking hazards. Discard any items with brand names that you are not familiar with. TIPS FOR WELCOMING THE KIDS ON HALLOWEEN If you are planning on welcoming trick-or-treaters to your home, follow these safety steps: • Sweep leaves from your sidewalks and steps. • Clear your porch or front yard of obstacles someone could trip over. • Restrain your pets. • Light the area well so the young visitors can see. • Use extra caution if driving. Youngsters are excited and may forget to look both ways before crossing. 5 ELDERS CORNER Elders Corner Greetings!! The Elders Council members were delighted to have two guest speakers at the August meeting. Mariah Lee, Life Safety Monitoring, provided a lot of insight into the advantages of having a medic alert system. This system is one of the most useful tools that can be used to help individuals when in need of emergency assistance. Ms. Lee stated that several tribes are currently assessing ways to fund and implement this tool/service for their tribal members. With this product gaining more importance due to its functionality and uses, the EC invited Mr. Mark Rogers, AST Health Program Executive Director, to attend the meeting and listen to this talk. We were delighted that Mr. Rogers took the time to attend. Mr. Rogers spoke briefly on initiatives and assessments that the clinic is presently undertaking. The second guest speaker was from the Urban Indian 5 Association (UI5). The Urban Indian 5 Association is an organization that inspires wellness among native people through art. Steve Barse provided a brief introduction of its programs and Thomas Poolaw spoke on some of his initiatives and presented many historical photographs for viewing. UI5 passed out disposable cameras to members who signed up to participate in taking cultural photographs. We hope to see many photos that will depict some of our culture and events in our daily lives. What an exciting project! The cameras are to be returned at the next meeting on September 16. “The Gathering” was held on September 9 and was a success. The dance ground and night was perfect for the many leaders, shell-shakers and dancers. What a delight to hear the traditional songs and shell-shakers as they sent their words and music through the smoke into the sky. We hope that this type “Gathering” will be held again in the future. The Elders Council provided coffee for all attendees of The Gathering and it was enjoyed by many. Thanks to Meredith Wahpekeche for putting this together so that everyone could enjoy that wonderful camp coffee throughout the night. CHRISTMAS BASKETS: As in the past, the Elders Council members have volunteered their individual time and money to help make the “CHRISTMAS BASKET” project a success. The baskets primarily consist of a lap blanket and toiletry items, such as shampoo, hair brushes, and combs and other incidental necessities. The Christmas baskets are given to Absentee Shawnee Tribal elder members who are in nursing homes; are home bound; have no transportation; have health issues; or in need of assistance due to financial hardship. The EC officers have solicited donations to help finance this project and these donations along with the EC’s contribution will help make this project a success once again. If you would like to donate to this cause, please contact one of the EC Officers. In order to receive a Christmas basket, you must submit an application for consideration. The application form follows. My Quote for this month is: We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone! 6 Until next time, Atheda Edwards-Fletcher ELDERS COUNCIL CHRISTMAS BASKETS APPLICATION FORM Qualifications: 1) Must be Absentee Shawnee Tribal Member 2) Must be 50 years old or above 3) Must reside within the counties of Pottawatomie, Cleveland, Lincoln or Oklahoma.

As we prepare for another fall flu season, please remember to partner with your health system, for yourself and your family, by practicing proven hygiene and infection control procedures such as frequent hand washing, getting your annual flu shot, limiting your public exposure if you should become ill with a fever, and encouraging others to adhere to these protocols as well. It is our responsibility as a health system to be the example of infection control for our patients, community, and loved ones. With the summer winding down, we are excited about the youth getting back-to-school, the upcoming 4th Annual AST Run for Your Life Zombie 5K Event October 27th at Little Axe/Lake Thunderbird, and the continual expansion of our services and increasing access to health programs – all to serve our patients better every day! The inaugural 2017 AST Health System Internship Program was an unequivocal success. We hosted a graduation luncheon for our six AST young men and women, who successfully completed rotations throughout the health system. The internship program aligns with our strategic plan of investing in our young tribal members through education, mentorship, and the creation of career opportunities through service to the tribe’s overall health. They finished the program with a professional letter of recommendation, a program certificate of completion, a health related work history, and a career plan on where to go now to achieve their dreams! We are extremely proud of these emerging young professionals and hope we see them again in our health system as they continue with their education and career goals. Oklahomans face health and wellness crises every year, including tribal members here in Indian Country. The challenge has been to find solutions that work. News 9 in OKC and News on 6 in Tulsa are launching a statewide initiative to share information with their viewers on the current state of health in Oklahoma. The AST Health System joined News 9 in their state-wide community health program outreach this year for an in-depth look into the series health issues facing Oklahomans and the unique, innovative solutions that could make the lives of our friends, family and neighbors better including here in Indian Country. Please see both the Part I & II series located on their website here: http://www.news9.com/category/327122/state-of-health The health system’s strategic planning event was completed on September 8th at the new multi-purpose building. The EC liaisons, Treasurer and Secretary, the Health System’s leadership team, and the health board members attended the event to ensure resources, efforts, and services were appropriately linked and programmed for execution against the strategic plan, supporting grants, third party resources, and compact funding against the baseline and Joint Venture staffing plans. We sincerely appreciate the professionalism and support of both the EC and Health Boards in supporting the healthcare delivery efforts of the health system for our patients! Elder care and advanced aging concerns such as fall risk, monitoring loved ones who live alone, and homebound health care, remain critical priorities to the tribe and the health system. The health system has and shall continue full partnership with the tribe in serving and coordinating medical care for any tribal member with a homebound medical need that falls within the scope and authority of our health and wellness system. If you know any tribal member who is homebound and needs medical assistance, please contact our health administration office at (405) 701-7621 and we will be happy to assist with the best possible resources and coordinated care. The health system’s most valuable resource—our people—again displayed outstanding service to our tribal health system! I am extremely proud of our outstanding star performers again this month, and thank them all for their contributions to our patients, their fellow employees, and the tribe!

Department of Social Services (405) 275-4030 Ext. #6225 or #6255 17 18 Health Presents 1st Annual Visionary Leadership Award Shawnee, Oklahoma – The Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System has been engaged in a strategic planning process and during the last quarterly meeting, health officials sought to distinguish certain individuals who had made extraordinary efforts in strategic planning. This recognition came in the form of the first annual ASTHS Visionary Leadership Award. The award recognizes efforts along with the recipient’s ability to inspire, engage, and motivate people to fulfill the mission and vision of ASTHS. The award also intends to recognize individuals who have created a bridge between the past, present and future that tells the story of the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System’s growth and success. It was ASTHS’ privilege to bestow this first honor to Mr. Scott Miller, former AST Governor. It was his contribution and impact, the awarding of the Indian Health Service Joint Venture project of the Little Axe Clinic and the formation of the 2 governing health boards, the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health Authority, Inc. and the Li-Si-Wi-Nwi, Inc., which deserved the acknowledgement. Health appreciates the leadership qualities Mr. Miller possesses then and now – vision, intuition, humility and courage. Mr. Miller currently serves as the Bureau of Indian Affairs Self-Governance and IRR Roads Specialist for the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. Mr. Miller has worked in various aspects of tribal governmental affairs since 2002. In 2005, he was afforded the opportunity to serve as an elected leader to the Absentee Shawnee Tribe’s Executive Committee. He served in the capacities of Tribal Secretary, Lieutenant Governor and Governor. He holds a Masters of Business Administration and has recently completed his Master of Legal Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He is married to Alicia (Aly) Miller and they have 2 sons. 19 OCTOBER Birthdays 2017 Abma, Meadow Elisa Bryce, Todd Kaden Ellis, Kevin Mark Abma, Raven Roxanne Buckley, Dillon Wayne Ellis, Kimberly Marie Adams, James Michael Bui, Bennett Van Ellis, Linda Jean Aguinaga, Aaron Juan Burggraf, Thaddeus Todd Lee Fife, Austin Scott Aguirre, Jose Raul Byers, Sebastian Michael Foley, Katrina Dawn Ahtone, Caylen Evreaux Cagle, Sheryl Lynette Foreman, Eli Zane Alford Jr., Elroy Raymond Call, Kelly Edward Foreman, Sidney Brian Alford, Herbert Vearl Campbell, Camber Nicole Foreman, Wesley Josiah Anderson, Charlie Beckett Campbell, Charlotte Lynn Frazier, Anthony Lawrence Anderson, Jenna Elizabeth Carlson, Harley Leann Gall, Rebecca Sue Ardrey, Wanda Marie Carolina, Jarric Dequan Gibson, Bernice Armendariz, Christy Ann Louise Carpenter, Glenda Carol Gibson, Collin Lane Ash, Earl James Caudillo, Natalie Adelle Gibson, John Arnold Aspen, Andrew James Chapman, Atira Vonne Gibson, Susan Renee Atwood, Joseph Eugene Chisholm, Candace Lauren Gibson, Tyler Logan Bailey, Beverly Jean Loving Chupp, Angela Marie Gillihan, Layton Douglas Balch, Shannon Eugene Citty, Dora Mae Gillmore, Jamie Mack Barnard, Legacy May Cochrane, Rachel D.

This raised my hackles and shot my blood pressure up to the height of the International Space Station. Now that I am back down to earth I want to revisit the subject and make one thing clear to everyone. Any flu vaccine shortage is no one’s fault from the perspective of negligent behavior. It is simply an issue, like many others, of our complex modern way of life. Unfortunately it is an issue that will yield some great political mileage for the uninformed and misguided. Let’s expand this general discussion and consider the following. I can remember back in about 1955 or so when the great Asian Flu scare hit the United States. I was just a kid living in Kansas City and all the neighbors kept their kids indoors to keep them from becoming exposed to the flu by not playing with anyone else. My mother was a medical professional working in a doctor’s office and had little time to run roughshod over my sister and me. Consequently we played outside all day long, made trips to the local dump on our bikes to play amongst the piles of trash and otherwise placed ourselves at great risk of getting who knows what. Needless to say we never caught a thing and survived to create families as nature intended. What I remember about those days is that there was no flu vaccine. The only vaccine I remember was the Salk polio vaccine, administered with a foot long 2-inch diameter needle (or so it seemed in the eyes of a little kid). Flu epidemics have come and gone and many of us are still alive and kicking. We are now presented with the upcoming flu season of 2017-18. No one can yet predict the impact of flu season on the lives of our citizenry. The fact is that there is little evidence that the impending flu season, or any future flu season will bring about anywhere near the pandemic of the early 20th century which did kill millions of people. Let’s put things back into perspective. In the early 20th century around World War I the state of personal hygiene in the average U.S. household was pitiful and not much better than it was during the Civil War, and this does not even take into consideration the hygienic state of the rest of the world. Literally hundreds of millions of people still used outdoor toilets, drank unclean water and took a bath perhaps once a month whether they needed it or not. Furthermore, a bar was somewhere you want to drown your troubles, not something to use to cleanse yourself. The jury was still out for many individuals on whether vaccination for smallpox was sent from heaven or hell. Here we are in the early 21st century and who would have thought that one could converse with someone on the other side of the world while looking at their picture on a handheld device? We have lived for years now in the assurance that when fall rolled around we would be able to go to the doc to obtain a flu shot and be secure from influenza. The fact is that getting a flu shot never ever guaranteed that you would not get the flu! I know this to be true from firsthand experience. The flu shot simply is designed to shorten the course or the severity of a flu encounter. It is just like the pneumonia shot that is now a part of our healthcare arsenal. I would bet my hat that most people, regardless of whether they have a flu shot, never get the flu because either they have not been exposed or their bodies’ immune system is able to take care of the problem. People of intelligence should be readily receptive to my comments about modern healthcare in that much of what we know about disease processes places a heavy emphasis upon preventive measures. Some of these preventive measures go back to the advice grandma gave us as children – “Wash your hands.” The flu virus particles are airborne, just like viruses for many other maladies, the common cold being the most familiar. The World Health Organization and several other health organizations are clear on this one measure alone. Hand washing is the single most effective way of preventing disease transmission. Doctors have known this for a long time and we were trained in medical school and residency to wash our hands between patient visits to prevent the spread of disease. Another way you can help prevent the spread of airborne disease is to cover your face when you cough, or if you are brave enough, wear a surgical mask when out in public (just think of it as a fashion statement) when you have a cold or flu. I want to throw this out for reassurance to those who are convinced that they will die if they do not get a flu shot. The CDC, the American Academy of Family Practice and several other medical organizations work diligently to allocate available supplies of flu vaccines to provide those who are at high risk with a shot. The flu season is not here yet so sensibly, not to panic is the order of the day. Meanwhile, do those things you know to do - wash your hands after coming into contact with environmental surfaces like bathroom doors, eat well, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. Also, grandma used to give advice along the lines of “Don’t do stupid stuff.” That means remain healthy in your day to day personal habits. Don’t knowingly compromise your health by doing things you know not to do. These are all things grandma told you but are still great advice today from your doctor. If you do develop flu-like symptoms don’t go right over and visit grandma. Stay home and don’t give anyone else the chance to enjoy your suffering. A trip to the doctor may be warranted but unless you are very ill, home in bed is where you belong. For the very elderly or those who are at high risk for significant complications (or perhaps death) from the flu there are medications that can be prescribed to lessen the severity (but not cure) of the flu. Use common sense this flu season and don’t panic. Life is too short for that. With your health in mind – The FLU Bruce Stafford, DO, Diplomate ABFM, NBPAS Deputy Medical Director, Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System 27 Foster Care THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT OF 1978 The Indian Child Welfare Act is a 1978 federal law. It offers protections to Indian children, parents, guardians and tribes in cases in which a child has been removed from its home. The ICWA forces state courts to recognize the political, cultural, and social standards of Indian tribes and peoples. The Court must consider those standards during any proceeding or placement of the child. The ICWA protects the best interests of Indian children and seeks to promote a stable, secure Indian family. Midnight calls, long drives across state and emotional encounters all make it difficult for social workers in child protection services to really ever “clock out.” Their job doesn’t end when the typical 40-hour work week is over. The true nature of the profession requires them to be available at a moment’s notice, 24/7, 365 days a year. Please Report Child Abuse You could be saving a child’s life. PARTIES PROTECTED BY THE ACT Indian children are those enrolled in a tribe or eligible to be enrolled, with at least one IF YOU ARE A GRANDPARENT parent who is a member of an Indian tribe. The ICWA also protects three other parties. THAT IS RAISING YOUR GRANDFirst, it protects the custodial parents of an Indian child should they be accused of wrong- CHILD YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR TANF. GRANDPARENTS THAT doing. The ICWA makes the state courts provide full notice of all hearings, use expert HAVE LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP witnesses, and follow a higher standard of proof than in non-Indian cases. The Act also OF THEIR GRANDCHILDREN makes the state court appoint an attorney to represent the parents if they are unable to CAN RECEIVE TANF BY APPLYafford one. Second, the ICWA protects Indian custodians. Indian people who have raised ING FOR “CHILD ONLY” TANF GRANT WHICH WILL ONLY a relative child as if they were their own, or people to whom the natural parents have TAKE IN ACCOUNT THE GRANgiven temporary custody, are entitled to the same type of notice and protections as the CHILD’S INCOME/ASSETTS. natural parents. Finally, the Act protects tribal rights as well. The state court must give THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN notice to the tribe and generally follow its recommendations about placement. If these SERVICES WILL ASK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATION, BUT IT parties’ rights are not protected, the Act allows any of them to overturn the result of the state court. The ICWA does not apply in three types of cases. It does not apply in divorces WILL NOT BE USED IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS. IF YOU HAVE or divorce modifications, unless a termination of parental rights is involved or custody is ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS given to someone other than the natural parents. It does not apply if the child in custody TO GRANDPARENTS APPLYING is accused of a crime. Finally, Oklahoma courts have created a third exception to the law: FOR TANF. PLEASE CALL JULIE the ICWA does not apply to noncustodial Indian parents who do not support or visit their WILSON 395-4492. children. STATE AUTHORITY OVER INDIAN CHILDREN In some cases, Oklahoma lacks any kind of authority over an Indian child. If the child lives on trust or restricted land, or in an MHO Housing cluster, or in a dependent Indian community, the state may not have authority to proceed. Under the ICWA, the case must be heard in the tribal court. For other Indian children, the state shares jurisdiction with tribal courts. However, the Supreme Court has said that tribal courts are the preferred court for Indian children. An Indian parent or tribe may request that a case be transferred to tribal court for proceedings. If a child is placed in foster care, the Act requires the state to follow placement guidelines. The State must follow the Tribe’s Tribal State Agreement and Placement Preferences “RESPECT THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT BECAUSE OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT YOURS TO TAKE” Before placing a child in a non-familial or non-tribal final home, states are required to make what are called “active efforts” to place the child in an ICWA-compliant situation. These efforts include mandatory attempts at parental and familial reunification before terminating rights permanently, and consultation with the tribe in a timely manner.

You can use hand-held weights at the gym, resistance bands at home, or even your own body weight to develop strength and muscle. Even as you age, resistance training may help you with activities of daily living such as walking, picking things up, and climbing stairs. Resistance training is also good for your bones! Benefits of resistance training with diabetes For people with diabetes, resistance training helps the body:     Respond better to insulin Improve the way it uses blood sugar Lose weight Lower your risk for heart disease Research shows us that resistance training is as good as aerobic exercise at boosting how well your body uses insulin. Also, engaging in aerobic exercise may be even better! Imagine the benefits if combined both forms of exercise into your fitness routine! The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with type 2 diabetes start a strength training program to help with blood sugar Let's Get Started!    If you're not active now, check in with your doctor first. Ask if there are any exercises that you should avoid. It is a good idea to work with a certified fitness instructor or trainer, so you learn the correct way to do each exercise. Your strength training program should work your whole body 2-3 times a week. Set up your schedule so that you work different muscle groups on different days. Try not to work the same muscle groups 2 days in a row. Give your muscles at least 48 hours to recover and get stronger! Your body needs rest in order to get stronger.  As you get started, set yourself up for success with a moderate schedule. Do each move 1015 times (one set) up to three times a week. Once you get used to that, you can gradually do more, until you are doing 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions up to three times a week.  Always warm up before you exercise. Brisk walking is an excellent way to do that. When you're done strength training, do a series of stretches, holding each stretch for 30 to 60 seconds, to end your workout. For any questions pertaining to diabetes and exercise, please contact the AST Diabetes and Wellness Program at 405-364-7298 (Resource Center).
