Governor’s Report

Hello friends, neighbors, relatives and Tribal members at large!

Here in Oklahoma we have been having a series of earthquakes that range

in seismic activity. Last night I heard that earthquakes in Oklahoma are

being triggered by underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural

gas production. As regrettable as this is underground wastewater disposal

has been going on for decades in Oklahoma. Not long ago I read that a U.S.

Geological Survey in 2015 suggested that the sharp rise in earthquakes in

Oklahoma for the past 100 years could be the result of industrial activity

in our energy rich state. We have a great deal of speculation going on. It

is my hope that conclusive studies will be done so that whatever is causing

this can be corrected and the impact to our environment considered and

regulated. One report indicates that the EPA has yet to institute increased

volume reporting, they have not asked operators to plug back wells out of

the (granite) basement and still have their annual reports filed on paper

for the area of the state the federal agency is responsible for. We need more

accountability by the EPA and increased activity and reporting done by our

Oklahoma Corporate Commission.

Trial

Isaac Gibson

Isaac Gibson, Lt. Governor, was acquitted by our court system on the

charges of embezzlement, fraudulent use of a credit card, misusing public

monies, unlawful official action and criminal conspiracy. This decision was

made through a jury trial that lasted one day. The only thing that can be

said is that it is unfortunate that our Code of Laws is outdated; our judges

aren’t certified through the National Judicial Center or the National Tribal

Judicial Center nor do those who have been ruling on certain cases have

training or education in Indian Law or an in-depth understanding of

Absentee Shawnee tribal law. We need to look at updating our Code of

Laws and ensure that judges appointed by the tribe have both education

and experience of Indian law, tribal law and have judicial training. We also

need to look at the court and its structure. Our building needs modernized,

security updated and court fines aligned with other like sized court systems.

We also need to ensure that any attorney who seeks to practice law in our

court system is authorized by our court. We need to place more focus on

our legal system and offer to aide it so that those who do not abide by our

tribal laws and policies meet with swift justice that is both fair and impartial.

I cannot say with any surety that our current Court system is swift, fair or

impartial based on what has been seen in the recent rulings of the Court.

Role of the Treasurer and Financial Concerns

Recently I was advised by Finance that budgets were due by October

31st. There was no discussion on this date with the Executive Committee

by Leah Bates, Treasurer. Programs were issued out their budgets based

on the 3 year trend that the Treasurer likes to use for our budget process.

The budgets included an email statement that Finance welcomed staff to

come and discuss their budgets. This non-involvement of the Executive

Committee with the department heads is indicative of limited thinking

and poor fiscal management. The Treasurer does NOT provide Financial

Reports at the monthly meeting which is her Constitutional mandated role.

Again, this is part of her Constitutional role. Our Constitution could greatly

benefit from an update but it is the authorized and approved document

that governs our tribe. Without it we have no fundamental guidance or

structure. In our Constitution it does NOT give the Treasurer the right or

the ability to have any other oversight duties or responsibilities other than

for Finance. Prior to moving the calendar year budgets onto our agenda

this next month I will ask several things of Finance:

1. Full transparency and disclosure of all expenditures as to date of all

programs, departments and elected officials;

2. Full transparency and disclosure on all revenues generated by the tribe

that includes interest from grants and contracts; businesses owned by

the tribe; taxes; contracts and grants;

3. Transparency and disclosure on the Tribe’s current available funds and

projected revenue;

4. Plan of action on how Finance will correct each audit finding.

If you see that I have not placed budgets on the agenda then know that it is

for this reason. It is time we get the Treasurer and Finance to be accountable

and offer full disclosure on both our revenue and expenditures within our

tribal government. And not until that is done will I place budgets onto the

agenda. We may have to look at doing a Continuing Resolution similar to

what the federal government does when there is not a consensus on the

federal budgets yet it may be necessary to ensure we know what the status

is of our funds and how Finance has responded to the 2015 audit findings.

AST HeAlTH SySTem - November 2016

In October, the health system sponsored the health systems’ annual Breast Cancer Awareness Event at both the Little Axe Health Center and Shawnee

Clinics, complete with refreshments, lots of breast cancer awareness information. The 3rd Annual Zombie Run was a huge success, with more people

participating than the last 2 years for a day of activity, music, health education, wellness activities, and good ole’ fashion Halloween fun!

As the flu season rapidly approaches, it is imperative you get your flu shot. Several flu shots were given out at the free flu shot clinic provided at the

General Council meeting in October, and we will also be providing the flu shot at all of our clinics with nurse visits. Tests for the flu are indicating it has

arrived already beginning in September, so please ensure you and your family is protected. The health system encourages everyone in the community to

stay healthy this year by utilizing good personal hygiene, especially with hand sanitation procedures.

As for our offered services and programs, we are excited at the continued success of the MyDNA effort! Special thanks to the parents and elders for

making this a great program in spreading positive prevention messages for youth to avoid underage drinking and provide education to our community

on ill-effects of prescription drug addiction. Also, we are now settled-in and happy to offer expanded services at our new expanded Optometry Clinic

in Little Axe and the Shawnee Clinic’s After Hours Services!

We continue to monitor elder care and high risk fall patients as well as homebound tribal members are always a concern to the Tribe and Health

System. The health system remains a full partner with the Tribe in caring for and coordinating care for any tribal member that is homebound and

has needs that we can help with or service within our scope and authority to do so as a health and wellness system. If you know of any tribal member

who is homebound and needs assistance medically, please contact administration at (405) 701-7621 so we can assist as best possible with resources or

coordinate assistance for these members in need. Thank you all for making our entire staff and employees feel appreciated and for using our services!

Our health system’s most valuable asset is our people! They continue to illustrate excellence for our tribal health system and patient care! I’m always

impressed with and proud of our outstanding star performers, and again this month, we thank them all for their contributions to our patients, their

fellow employees, and the tribe! Employee of the month in October for health was Mrs. Darlene Perryman, HIM Director, for her efforts at continuity

as the health system continues to grow; October Team of the Month: Specialty Clinic Staff for their rapid stand-up and acceleration of specialty services

to our patients; and the October Special Leadership Award: Mrs. Shelby Davis, Business Office, for her adept tracking and coordinating of monthly

revenue totals to the executive team and health boards. The health employees continue to accomplish outstanding feats for our patients and for each

other, taking care of our internal and external customers/patients. Thank you all for making an important difference in the lives and health of all of our

health system’s patients!

with other trust offices, such as the Office of Special Trustee for American Indians and the Land Titles and Records

The Healthiest You Possible: Prebiotics & Probiotics

You've probably heard of prebiotics and probiotics, but do you know what they are? Nutrition research has

pinpointed specific functional components of foods that may improve health, and prebiotics and probiotics are

two such substances. Although they are available as dietary supplements, it is not necessary to use special pills,

potions, cleanses or other concoctions to incorporate prebiotics and probiotics into your diet. These "nutrition

boosters" are natural ingredients in everyday food. In fact, focus on the food sources first because they are more

readily available for absorption and digestion. While research continues in this area of nutrition —

investigating how effective and safe these substances are and how much we need to obtain health benefits —

here's what we know now.

What Are Prebiotics and What Do They Do?

Prebiotics are natural, non-digestible food components that are linked to promoting the growth of helpful

bacteria in your gut. Simply said, they're "good" bacteria promoters. That's right, not all bacteria are bad!

Prebiotics may improve gastrointestinal health as well as potentially enhance calcium absorption.

Prebiotics in Your Diet

Prebiotics include fructooligosaccharides, such as inulin, and galactooligosaccharides. But rather than focusing

on these lengthy words, include more prebiotics in your diet by eating these foods like: bananas, onions, garlic,

leeks, asparagus, artichokes, soybeans and whole-wheat foods.

What Are Probiotics and What Do They Do?

Probiotics are the "good" bacteria — or live cultures — just like those naturally found in your gut. These active

cultures help change or repopulate intestinal bacteria to balance gut flora. This functional component may boost

immunity and overall health, especially GI health. For instance, probiotics have been used for management of

irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Some strains of these live cultures may help prevent specific allergy

symptoms, reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance and more. However, effects can vary from person to person.

Probiotics in Your Diet

To obtain more probiotics, enjoy fermented dairy foods including yogurt, kefir products, and aged cheeses,

which contain live cultures (for example, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli). Plus, some non-dairy foods which also

have beneficial cultures including: kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh and cultured non-dairy yogurts.

What Makes Prebiotics and Probiotics the "Dynamic Duo?"

Ultimately, prebiotics—or "good" bacteria promoters, and probiotics—or "good" bacteria, work together

synergistically. In other words, prebiotics are breakfast, lunch and dinner for probiotics, which restores and can

LAND BUY BACK PROGRAM

The Department of Interior recently advised they are expanding their schedule for implementing the Land Buy Back

Program and adding 63 additional locations for the period of 2018 through 2021. This program began making offers in

2013. It has paid over $740 million to individual landowners and restored the equivalent of nearly 1.5 million acres to tribal

governments. This expansion brings the number of locations being planned for the program to 105. This total includes 96

percent of all landowners with fractionated interests and more than 98 percent of both purchasable fractional interests and

equivalent acres in Program eligible areas. There are currently about 245,000 landowners holding approximately 3 million

fractional interests across Indian Country.

The intent of the Buy Back program is to partner with tribal governments to stimulate new opportunities so that tribes

can operate more efficiently, enter into community discussions and create plans that ensure lands stay in trust. The Program

implements the land consolidation component of the Cobell settlement which provided $1.9 billion to purchase fractional

interests in trust or restricted land from willing sellers at fair market value within a ten year window. If a fractional land

interest owner decides to sell their fraction you will receive a payment directly into your individual Indian Money (IM)

account. The lands purchased through this process are immediately restored to tribal trust ownership to benefit the

community and tribal members. In the upcoming months a Program representative will be communicating with our tribe

on the process and its implementation.

Our tribe is on the new expanded Program list and members with eligible fractional interests are encouraged to call the

Trust Beneficiary Call Center (Call Center) at 888-678-6836 and indicate whether you are a willing seller and/or to update

contact information. By registering as a willing seller it does NOT commit you to selling your land, nor will it guarantee

an offer will be extended; it merely identifies your interest and assist in advancing planning. Individual landowners can

contact the Call Center, Office of the Special Trustee or BIA office to learn more about your land and options available

to you. You can also visit the Program site at: https://www.doi.gov/buybackprogram/programimplementation-schedule.

Don’t Get Caught with Your Tires Down

AAA.com/repair

Winter Car Care Checklist

Battery and Charging System – Have the battery and charging system tested by a trained

technician. A fully charged battery in good condition is required to start an engine in cold weather.

AAA members can request a visit from a AAA Mobile Battery Service technician who will test their

battery and replace it on-site, if necessary.

Battery Cables and Terminals – Make sure the battery terminals and cable ends are free from

corrosion and the connections are tight.

Drive Belts – Inspect the underside of accessory drive belts for cracks or fraying. Many multi-rib

serpentine belts are made of materials that do not show obvious signs of wear; replace these belts

at 60,000-mile intervals.

Engine Hoses – Inspect cooling system hoses for leaks, cracks or loose clamps. Also, squeeze

the hoses and replace any that are brittle or feel excessively spongy.

Tire Type and Tread – In Oklahoma, all-season tires work well in our light to moderate snow

conditions, provided they have adequate tread depth. Uneven tire wear can indicate alignment,

wheel balance or suspension problems that must be addressed to prevent further tire damage.

Replace any tire that has less than 3/32-inches of tread. Use the penny test: insert a penny –

Lincoln’s head first – into the deepest part of your tire’s tread. If you can still see the top of

Lincoln’s head, it’s time to invest in a new set of tires.

Tire Pressure – Check your tires’ inflation pressure more frequently in fall and winter. As the

average temperature drops, so will tire pressures – typically by one pound per square inch (PSI)

for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The proper tire pressure levels can be found in the owner’s

manual or on a sticker typically located on the driver’s side door jamb or on the door of the glove

compartment. Also, check your spare, if you have one. Many newer cars come without one.

Air Filter – Check the engine air filter by holding it up to a bright light bulb. If light can be seen

through much of the filter, it is still clean enough to work effectively. However, if light is blocked by

most of the filter, replace it.

Continued on next page

Coolant Levels – Check the coolant level in the overflow tank when the engine is cold. If the level

is low, add a 50/50 solution of coolant and water to maintain the necessary antifreeze capability.

Test the antifreeze protection level with an inexpensive tester available at auto parts stores or go

to a qualified auto tech.

Lights – Check the operation of all headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, emergency

flashers and back-up lights. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.

Wiper Blades – The blades should completely clear the glass with each swipe. Replace any

blades that leave streaks or miss spots.

Washer Fluid – Fill the windshield washer fluid reservoir with a winter cleaning solution that has

antifreeze components to prevent it from freezing.

Brakes – If there is any indication of a brake problem, have the system inspected by a certified

technician to ensure all components are in good working order.

Transmission, Brake and Power Steering Fluids – Check all fluids under the hood to make sure

they are at or above the minimum safe levels.

Emergency Road Kit – Carry an emergency kit equipped for winter weather. The kit should

include:

•

Bag of abrasive material (sand, salt, clay-based kitty litter) or traction mats

Snow shovel

Flashlight with extra batteries

Windshield washer solvent

Ice scraper with brush

Cloth or roll of paper towels

Jumper cables (and know how to use them)

Extra warm clothing such as gloves, hats and scarves

Blankets

Warning devices such as flares or triangles

Drinking water

Non-perishable snacks for both humans and pets

First-aid kit

Basic toolkit (screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrench, duct tape)

Cell phone and car charger cord. Pre-program your phone with rescue apps

(AAA.com/Mobile) and important phone numbers including family and emergency services.

The road to a long car life starts with the owner's manual. Following the vehicle manufacturer's

recommended maintenance schedule found in the owner's manual is the best way to keep a car

running properly and avoid costly repairs.

A not-for-profit, fully tax-paying organization, AAA Oklahoma provides its 395,400 Oklahoma members

with emergency roadside assistance and auto travel services. Plus, the auto club offers members and the

general public a wide range of personal insurance, worldwide travel and financial services at branch

offices across Oklahoma and online at AAA.com. Motorists can map a route, identify gas prices, find

discounts, book a hotel and access AAA roadside assistance with the AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and

Android. Learn more at AAA.com/mobile.

social problems. The story of Native

American people is a complicated

one marked by significant trauma

and atrocities. Often times this

trauma consisted of the removal

of abuse which happened to

these young and vulnerable children in many of these schools resulted in

overwhelming intergenerational trauma and unresolved grief. This trauma which

interrupted the ability to parent has led directly to the most current social

problems that plague Native American communities today including alcohol/

drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, sexual abuse and parenting

deficiencies. All of these problems have contributed to the break-down of

the family unit, leading to the removal of large numbers of Native American

youth from their families. The journey of healing and breaking the cycles which

have been put in place by the historical trauma experienced by generations of

Native Americans requires that the cultural identity for so long denied to these

children be returned. Native American youth have two distinct influences, that

of their family of origin and that of their caregivers. Absentee Shawnee Tribal

Foster Care is in need of homes for children that are in our child welfare system.

Your participation in being a foster parent helps to ensure that these children

have positive connections to their culture which in helps nurture a positive

sense of identification as a Native American. By being willing to do this, you

can be a valuable part of the healing journey that will help strengthen this

next generation of Absentee Shawnee children; in turn, helping those children

become the parents that their children will need them to be. Our children are

our future, what will we have our future be? Will you, as Absentee Shawnee

member, do your part if you are able?

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A FOSTER PARENT, PLEASE CONTACT

JULIANN WILSON ICW/CPS/FOSTER CARE AT 275-4030, EXT. 133.

Racial disproportionality is defined as the over-or

under-representation of certain groups (e.g. racial/

ethnic, gender, age) relative to the group’s proportion

in the general population. Reports conducted in

2008 showed that, compared to other groups, Native

American children were:

•

3 times more likely to be referred to CPS

•

1.6 times more likely to be removed from their

biological homes

•

Twice as likely to remain in foster care for over

two years

•

Less likely to be adopted and more likely to be in

guardianships

•

Less likely to be reunited with their biological

parents

The sad reality is that there are not enough culturally appropriate homes for these

children, resulting in the placement of Native American children in homes that do not

share their cultural heritage or traditions. We want to place “our tribal” children in our

own homes, to do this we need tribal members to open their homes and their hearts.

Are you willing to open your heart? Are you willing to open your home?

If so, please contact Julie Wilson ICW/FC/CPS 878-4702 (ext. 133).

WHAT IS A FOSTER CARE WORKER?

Foster care caseworker training involves completing a bachelor's

degree program in social work through a college or university.

Students take courses in psychology, abnormal psychology,

sociology, economics, ethics, child welfare policies and complete a

supervised internship.

The child’s Foster Care Worker needs to be a partner with the foster

parents to ensure that each child receives the full spectrum of

services provided and/or arranged by the Department.

Some aspects of this relationship include the following:

• Sharing information on an ongoing basis regarding the

child’s individual needs, family situation and adjustment to the

foster home

• Encouraging the foster parents to participate in the total

service planning process

• Providing the foster parents the opportunity to discuss the

child’s progress and any unmet needs which they assess

• Providing the foster parent with information, support,

guidance and referrals to other professionals on the child’s

behalf

• Helping the foster family, when necessary, to identify and

obtain services for the foster child; e.g., medical, educational

• Ensuring that the foster family, on the child’s behalf, has

access to all financial resources available to the child while in

foster care.

A Foster Care Worker works in conjunction with Tribal Courts,

Tribal Law Enforcement, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and other county

services. Indian Child Welfare’s goal is to ensure the safety of our

tribal children when they placed in foster care. The homes that our

tribal children are placed in must complete Child Welfare Background

Check, OSBI Background Check, Income Verification, Home Study,

and a Physical. Our AST foster homes are licensed by our Foster

Care Committee.

Foster Care Payments are as follows:

0-5 age $14.73 day $441.97 month

6-12 age $17.12 day $513.57 month

12 and over $19.30 day $579.13 month
