Governor’s Report

Greetings Tribal Members,

I am pleased to report that we held our 79th Semi-Annual General

Council Meeting on April 29th. Despite the Oklahoma weather not being

the best with severe storms and flooding we still had 102 tribal members

attend the meeting and our AST Directors were present to answer questions

if needed. As a result of having our Director’s present we were able to answer

questions covering several issues and one particular issue was with our

Certificate Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) cards containing Social Security

Numbers (SSN). The tribal Enrollment Director and Secretary Johnson are

working on this issue and others with the cards. I encourage you to call and

voice your opinion if you see a problem with the SSN being on your CDIB

card or any other issues you would like addressed.

Online Meetings

For those of you who were not able to attend the meeting in person all

meetings of the Executive Committee are located on our tribal website at

www.astribe.com . You can view the General Council meetings, Monthly

Executive Committee meetings, Shareholders meetings for Health and

Casino online at your convenience.

National Indian Gaming Commission Consultations (NIGC)

I recently traveled to San Diego, CA to attend the NIGC Consultations

to discuss the Class II Gaming Grandfathered Games Sunset Provision.

The main concern of the Grandfathered games is the machines that were

manufactured before 2008 that did not comply with the revised Class II

Technical Standards. The NIGC set a sunset date of November 2018 for

these machines to be fully compliant. What this means is the gaming

vendors will need to upgrade their machine before the sunset date and the

Casino will need to ensure that these machines become compliant or will

need to be removed from the casino floor. If this regulation is not repealed

then this could have an economic impact on all tribes who have Class II

Grandfathered games. It’s very important that the Absentee Shawnee voice

our concerns about this regulation and the need to have it repealed. As your

Governor, I have ensured that our voice is heard during these consultations

and will continue to do so.

As a result of my commitment to this issue, I have been working closely

with the Executive Director of the Gaming Commission to get daily

updates and to ensure that we have our final comments submitted detailing

on our position on the Sunset Provision and the need to have it completely

removed.

Tribal-State Gaming Compact

Another important issue that will be affecting all tribes is the TribalState Gaming Compact renewal in the year 2020. This is a very serious

issue that I am keeping close watch on as well. It is very important that all

Tribal Leaders across the State of Oklahoma remain unified and not jump

to renegotiate the compact until 2020. During 2020, the State of Oklahoma

will have a new administration to work with and this gives the tribe time to

determine whether they want to keep the current compact or renegotiate.

From my understanding, the current compact will roll over in 2020 if we

decide not to renegotiate. I will continue to monitor this issue as well.

Conclusion

There is still so much more we need to do and I want to continue to work

towards moving the Tribe forward.

I have 1 month to go. My door is always open (unless I am in a meeting or at

a meeting) and I welcome your visits. We have much to do to get our tribe

back on track and I want to do the best I can for all of our tribal members.

Help me to make a difference – stand beside me and Let us Build for the

Future (BFF) - united and together!

Thank you.

Building Blocks III News

IT’S OFFICIAL!!! WE’RE OPEN!!! Our hard work and perseverance have finally paid off. The month of May has been one worthy of celebration.

Our achievements this month include:

· May 3: DHS approved our six-month permit. (K830053617) We are permitted for 103 children. We will receive 3 unannounced visits

during this six-month period. If all is in good standing, we will receive our permanent license.

· May 5: Our 2 Star status was approved. The Stars scale is 1, 1+, 2, 3. We will pursue a 3 Star in the future.

· May 8: Grand Opening!!

· May 10: DHS Subsidy contract was approved. This allows us to accept children who receive DHS assistance with their child care costs. Our

contract # is 29187.

We currently have 22 children enrolled, ages infant – 5yrs. We are contacting those on the waiting list at this time.

Ms. Suzy and I attended training for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) on May 24, 2017 in Ardmore. The topic was New Meal Patterns. We will apply for the food program within the next month, as we must be operating for 30-days before applying. This helps us to offset some

of our food costs for each meal that we serve each child daily.

“CACFP provides aid to child and adult care institutions and family or group day care homes for the provision of nutritious foods that contribute

to the wellness, healthy growth, and development of young children, and the health and wellness of older adults and chronically impaired disabled persons.”

Elder’s Corner

The Elders have been busy during April and the first part of May!

April’s regular Elders Council meeting was held on April 15. Although it

was “tax” day, we did not let that deter us!

This was the first meeting conducted by the newly elected officers.

The new officers are launching plans for three years of adventures, programs

and growth of the council. As the new officers gain momentum, we ask for

your support and participation.

The Elders are pleased to report that during April, the Elders Council

contributed prizes for the annual children’s AST Easter Egg Hunt held at the

AST complex, and the Elders participated in the General Council where it

solicited for new members, held three fundraisers and participated in the GC

meeting.

On May 9, the Elders Council participated in the Little Axe High

School’s second annual Cultural Event. The event was well attended by

the community and the Little Axe students did an outstanding job in their

projects covering various countries around the world. Students’ projects included information about the country and a tasting of a few of each country’s

traditional food. The students were graded on their projects. Miss Indian

Oklahoma City, Kendall Frazier, was in attendance and performed a touching sign language performance.

The Elders Council displayed various historical tribal replicas of

weapons, ceremonial implements, information about the AST and samples of traditional AST food. A special thanks to Kathy

Deere for being the Chairperson of this Elders event. Also, thanks to Meredith Wahpekeche and Kathy Deere for providing the fry

bread and corn soup that was served to attendees; thanks to Cultural Preservation for donating 4 youth t-shirts for a drawing at the

event; and thanks to Audrey Dodds who helped in all areas. It is anticipated that the Little Axe High School Cultural Event will be

an annual event and we encourage all Tribal Members to support this event and other school events. Our children are our future.

Until next time,

Atheda Edwards-Fletcher, Secretary

COLLECTED

AST HeAlTH SySTem - June 2017

The health boards are proud to announce along with the Executive Committee’s leadership that the Compact and Annual Funding Agreement has been updated

for the first time in nearly a quarter century! This effort was a highly-complex feat of coordination and teamwork between multiple attorney’s offices, the I.H.S. Area

Office, the EC, health boards, Mr. Scott Miller’s Office, and the health leadership team. Without the combined synergy and effort, this amazing and Herculean effort

would not have happened. Additionally, resolutions have been approved by both the Executive Committee and the health boards to initiate the application process to

place land where the Little Axe Health Center is located into Trust status. This is all a very exciting time at the AST Health System!

The health system has a newly accredited continuing medical education (CME) program operational now sponsored in partnership with the Oklahoma State

Medical Association (OSMA) and the AST Health System, which is the only tribe in Oklahoma to successfully complete the process to host this unique medical

training for health professionals. Topics and issues are designed regarding health challenges and issues faced in Indian Country with health care of tribal members

and surrounding communities.

The new drive through pharmacy at the Shawnee Clinic is operational, and patients have reported their “thanks” for this new addition to our local improvements

in services and ease of access. The hours of operation for the new drive-through are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you have a prescription fill(s) that exceed more than 4

medications, it is recommended that the patient please pick items up at the Pharmacy Lobby window (before 5:00 PM). The multi-purpose health facility and storm

shelter is now complete and has been available as of late May for storm shelter protection of the complex and employees.

Several upcoming events and activities are ready for the summer, various camps, Jr. Olympics, Inflatable 5K Fun Run, OBI Blood Drives, and July’s Annual Health

Fair are lining up to make this a great summer! The AST Health System’s inaugural Summer Healthcare Internship Program started this year, with 5 AST youth

selected for the program from amongst their peers for a robust program to help better prepare the prospective students for both identification and mentoring in their

desired field of study within the healthcare profession.

Please ensure you continue to keep your contact and personal information updated upon your next visit to the clinics as we are having problems contacting patients

sometimes due to outdated information. Several patients often change their phone numbers and addresses without updating our systems, and it makes it extremely

difficult to contact patients when this information becomes outdated during weather emergencies and other patient notifications.

As always, health employees set the standard of excellence in our health system! I’m 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! We are extremely happy to announce a “tie” for the Employee of the Month

in May for health was Janis Brown, LSWN Lab Director, and Lisa Harrington, Dietitian, both drew a tie for this month’s honors. The Team of the Month for May was

the LSWN Little Axe Laboratory for securing “Zero” discrepancies on their CLIA Inspection by the State and Federal Government regulators! The Special Leadership

Award for May was presented to Mr. Richard Wolfe, Security Officer, with Little Axe! Our AST Health System strives to make your health its top priority, and you all

make a difference for our health system and the health and wellness of all of our patients!

Hearings and Appeals (OHA). After OHA issues a probate order the Division works with other trust offices, such as the Office of Special

Trustee for American Indians and the Land Titles and Records Office to distribute assets.

Deadline for applications is June 1, 2016

For more information, visit Haskell Indian

Nations University website at www.haskell.edu.

Emergency Management

Pet Disaster Preparedness

Planning ahead is the key to keeping yourself

and your pets safe if disaster strikes. Follow

these tips to make an emergency plan for your

pets:

Microchip your pets

Microchip identification is one of the best ways

to ensure that you and your pet are reunited if

you are separated. Be sure to keep the microchip registration up-to-date, and include at least

one emergency number of a friend or relative

who resides out of your immediate area.

Keep a collar and tag on all cats and dogs

Keep several current phone numbers on your

animal’s identification tag. Identification on

indoor-only cats is especially important. If your

home is damaged during a disaster, they could

easily escape.

Plan a pet-friendly place to stay

Search in advance for out-of-area pet-friendly

hotels or boarding facilities, or make a housing

exchange agreement with an out-of-area friend

or relative. Never leave your pet behind if

you evacuate!

Use the buddy system

Exchange pet information, evacuation plans

and house keys with a few trusted neighbors or

nearby friends. If you’re caught outside evacuation lines when an evacuation order is issued,

your neighbors or friends can evacuate your

pets for you.

Prepare an emergency kit for each animal

Stock up on the items you may need during

a disaster now so you do not get caught

unprepared. Below are basic items you should

include in your pets› disaster kits. Store

your disaster kit supplies in an easy-to-grab

container.

One-week supply of food. Store it in a watertight container and rotate it every three months

to keep it fresh. If you use canned food, include

a spare can opener.

One-week supply of fresh water.

If officials declare your household water unfit

to drink, it’s also unsafe for your pets. Follow

American Red Cross guidelines for storing

emergency water for your family and your pets.

Medication. If your animal takes medication,

a replacement supply may not be easily available following a disaster.Copies of vaccination

records.

Photographs of you with your pets to prove

ownership

Photographs of your pets in case you need to

make «lost pet» fliers

Pet first aid kit

Temporary ID tags. If you›ve evacuated,

use this to record your temporary contact

information and/or the phone number of an

unaffected friend or relative. Carrier or leash

for each animal

may find toys, especially long-lasting chew

toys, comforting.

Know where to search for lost animals

When animals become lost during a disaster,

they often end up at a local shelter. Keep handy

the locations and phone numbers of the shelters

in your area.

Tornado Safety for your pets

Getting Ready:

Make sure your family’s shelter area is large

enough to hold your pets too

Include pets in your tornado drills

Make a kit that includes all items your pet

might need (food, water, meds, etc.)

Identify emergency veterinary facilities

outside of your immediate area

If a disaster has affected your community,

emergency veterinary facilities may be closed.

Pets may become injured or ill during the

disaster, so make sure you know how to access

other emergency facilities. You can also check

with your veterinarian to find out if they have

an emergency plan that includes setting up in

an alternate, emergency facility.

Make sure your pets can be identified and returned if you are separated

Plan for temporary confinement

Physical structures, like walls, fences and barns

may be destroyed during a disaster. Have a

plan for keeping your animal safely confined.

You may need a tie-out, crate or kennel.

Take their leashes and/or carriers to the shelter

when you go, you will need them

Often, when animals are evacuated to unfamiliar locations, their stress and fear can lead to

illness injury.

If you take your pets to a shelter, remember

you are responsible for their care, including

cleaning up messes.

Comfort your animals

Your animals will appreciate your calm presence and soft, comforting voice if they are

stressed following a disaster or while evacuated, and you may find it comforting to spend

time with them, too. Some animals, especially

cats, may be too scared to be comforted. Interact with them on their terms. Some animals

12

Taking Shelter:

Round up your pets with their food, water and

meds before a warning is issued and have them

ready to go to shelter

If you do not shelter at home, check in advance

if the shelter you’re going to use accepts pets –

some do not

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EARNS TOP

HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT CREDENTIAL

Norman, Oklahoma – Mark E. Rogers, FACHE, Executive Director of the Absentee Shawnee

Tribal Health System, recently became a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare

Executives (ACHE), the nations’ leading professional society for healthcare leaders. “The

healthcare management field plays a vital role in providing high-quality care to the people in our

communities, which makes having a standard of excellence promoted by a professional

organization critically important,” says Deborah J. Bowen, FACHE, CAE, president and chief

executive officer of ACHE. “By becoming an ACHE Fellow and earning the distinction of board

certification from ACHE, healthcare leaders demonstrate a commitment to excellence in serving

their patients and the community.” Fellow status represents achievement of

the highest standard of professional development. In fact, only 9,100

healthcare executives hold this distinction.

To obtain Fellow status,

candidates must fulfill multiple requirements, including passing a

comprehensive examination, meeting academic and experiential criteria,

earning

continuing

education

credits

and

demonstrating

professional/community involvement.

Fellows are also committed to

ongoing professional development and undergo recertification every three

years. Mr. Rogers of the Absentee Shawnee Health System is privileged to

use the FACHE® credential, which signifies board certification in healthcare

management and ACHE Fellow status.

The American College of

Healthcare Executives is an international professional society of more than

40,000 healthcare executives who lead hospitals, healthcare systems and other healthcare

organizations. ACHE offers its prestigious FACHE® credential signifying board certification in

healthcare management. ACHE’s established network of more than 78 chapters provides access

to networking, education and career development at the local level. In addition, ACHE is known

for its magazine, Healthcare Executive, and its career development and public policy programs.

Through such efforts, ACHE works toward its goal of being the premier professional society for

healthcare executives dedicated to improving healthcare delivery. The Foundation of the

American College of Healthcare Executives was established to further advance healthcare

management excellence through education and research. The Foundation of ACHE is known for

its educational programs-including the annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership, which draws

more than 4,000 participants-including groundbreaking research. Its publishing division, Health

Administration Press, is one of the largest publishers of books and journals on health services

management including textbooks for college and university courses.

All enrolled Absentee Shawnee Tribal members who have vision insurance will have their insurance billed for the exam and any prescribed optical products. The Tribal benefit will be used for

the remainder of the cost for prescription eye glasses or contact lens, not to exceed the $350.00

vision benefit through the ASTHS Contract Health Services. If the amount exceeds the $350.00

benefit, the Tribal member will be responsible for the out of pocket expense.

*If an enrolled Absentee Tribal Member with insurance chooses to see an outside provider

they will be responsible for notifying ASTHS Contract Health Services (405.701.7951

or 405.878.5850). Their benefit within the Absentee Shawnee Optometry Department

will only allow for the amount within the $350.00 that was left unused for the vision

benefit year. (i.e. If you were seen December 31, 2016 your vision benefit year lasts until

December 30, 2017.)

All enrolled Absentee Shawnee Tribal members who do not have vision insurance must use the

glasses or contact lens. If the amount exceeds the $350.00 benefit the Tribal member will be

responsible for the out of pocket costs.

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

seeking post-secondary education.

devices, evaluations, and various other services.

Must be an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe, a junior or senior in high school,

and must reside in one of the seven counties served by the Iowa Tribe Vocational Rehabilitation Program. You must also provide documentation of your disability and this can include a
