of wearing eagle feathers to important
events, such as graduations, even if
this requires a religious exemption to
an otherwise generally applicable rule.
Accordingly, I urge the board to adopt
or revise its policies to permit these religious practices at graduation.”
Despite the support of the Attorney General, students of all Native
American Tribes are still battling their
school districts across the state to wear
native cultural and religious symbols to
graduation.
The Absentee Shawnee Tribe
honored tribal seniors with a banquet
on April 26th, where they were given
a tribal stole to wear for graduation in
May. As of this time, it is not determined whether Shawnee Schools will
allow students to wear them, or continue the repression of a bygone era for yet
another year.

nize the importance of the diverse cultures and traditions of their high school
student population and allow students to
express their culture by wearing feathers and tribal themed stoles in recognition of teachings handed down through
the generations.
Last fall, the Oklahoma State
Attorney General intervened in a case
at a school in Vian, Oklahoma, where
a Cherokee girl had been denied her
request to wear her ceremonial eagle
feather to graduation. According to The
Tulsa World, Attorney General Mike
Hunter sent a letter urging Vian school
officals to grant her request in the name
of religious freedom. He wrote: “It is my
duty both to protect the rights of Oklahoma citizens as provided for by law
and to advise that the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act generally requires
public schools to permit Cherokee students to engage in the spiritual practice
MISSION
Election Commission
A meeting was held on April
15, 2019 at the Shawnee Public School
Administration Building addressing an
issue that has hit every Native American Community and public school systems: Senior Students graduating from a
public school not being allowed to wear
tribal stoles, eagle feathers, and beaded
caps. There was a room full of supporters expressing the rights for our Native
American Students who voiced concerns to Dr. April Grace, Superintendent
of Shawnee Public Schools.
Historically, Native American
students have been denied the right to
wear cultural and religious symbols
during graduation ceremonies and other
school functions. Many school districts
defend these decisions by citing outdated policies written in a time of fierce
cultural repression and assimilation of
native tribes. Some states and Oklahoma
school districts are beginning to recog-

Hello Tribal People!!
Hope everyone is preparing
for the spring and the threat of tornadic
weather. Seems this year is getting off
to a fast start as it is already the middle part of April. My schedule has been
very busy with public school consultations and tribal meetings.
SHAWNEE PUBLIC SCHOOL
MEETING
The meeting was held at the
Shawnee Public School Administration
Building in Shawnee on April 15, 2019
@1:00 P.M. The issue has touched every Native American Community and
public school system; pertaining to
the Senior Students Graduating from a
public school and not being allowed to
wear tribal stoles, eagle feathers, and
beaded caps. We had a room full of
supporters expressing the rights for our
Native American Students. Those present voiced their concerns to Dr. April
Grace, Superintendent of Shawnee Public School. Those that attend:

The Kickapoo Tribe has expressed support on this issue by David Pacheco,
Chairman.
Some states and Oklahoma
school districts are beginning to recognize the importance of the diverse cultures and traditions of their high school
student population. Some schools in
Oklahoma encourage their Indian students to express their culture by allowing the wearing of feathers and tribal
themed stoles in recognition of teachings handed down through the generations. A student honoring their culture
and tradition during Commencement
should not be an issue in today’s Oklahoma.
I have expressed to the Superintendent that our Tribe will be honoring
our Tribal Seniors with a Banquet and
presenting a Tribal Stole to them and
do expect those seniors to wear them
to their graduation in May. We hope the
Shawnee School System sees this is a
change that needs to be made this year
and not let it sit till next year.
We will keep you updated as the
decision is made by the school system.

In 2016, the District Court for the District of Columbia found that IHS must
negotiate lease agreements as permissible under Section 105(l) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (ISDEAA). Since the
decision, Tribal Nations and IHS have
entered into and executed many lease
agreements. However, the approved
agreements in Fiscal Year 2018 exceeded appropriation levels and resulted in a
decrease in programmatic increases for
IHS and tribal facilities.
Another breakout session at the
conference was the Native Children and
Youth. It was a discussion of the defense mechanisms being employed to
protect the Indian Child Welfare Act to
include litigation, state laws and state
compacting. While some states have enacted state laws to increase protections
for Indian children (i.e. Washington and
Michigan) and others have started compacting child welfare services (Alaska),
a Texas court has ruled the Federal statute is unconstitutional. There are 12
open cases currently in Indian Country
in the same line as the Texas Case.

Staff Report
The staff of the Governor and
Lt. Governor have been working diligently on various programs for the tribal
members; “Domestic Violence VAWA,
Full Faith and Credit, Absentee Shawnee Tribal Law Codes, Child Support,
Absentee Shawnee Graduation Stoles,
Reintegration, Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance, United Indians of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.”
Violence Against Woman Act (VAWA)
Violence Against Women Act
(VAWA), includes a vital reaffirmation of Tribal Nations’ inherent power
to protect Native women from abuse
by non-Indian partners by prosecuting those abusers in tribal court. In the
United States, violence against Native
women has reached devastating levels
on tribal lands. The Absentee Shawnee
Tribe will utilize the Special Domestic
Violence Criminal Jurisdiction (SDVCJ) to bring more safety and justice to
our communities.
Full Faith and Credit
Full Faith and Credit means the
Courts of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe
of Oklahoma are hereby authorized
to issue an Administrative Order/Rule
which grants reciprocity to judgments
of the Courts of the State of Oklahoma,
and is further authorized to provide the
Administrative Office of the Courts of
the State of Oklahoma, and any federally
recognized Indian nation, tribe, band or
political subdivision thereof, with such
Order/Rule for the purposes of granting
full faith and credit to judgments of the
Courts of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe
of Oklahoma and to grant reciprocity to
the judgments of the Courts of the State
of Oklahoma and of any federally recognized Indian nation, tribe, band or political subdivision thereof.
Absentee Shawnee Tribal Law Codes
The purpose of updating the
Absentee Shawnee Tribal law codes is
to design and implement a comprehensive justice system with remedies and
rights of law that restore healing and
balance within the tribal community.
The mission is to strengthen the tribal
justice system of the Absentee Shawnee
Tribe, to enhance public safety; prevent
and reduce harmful effects of criminal
behavior and sanction offenders fairly
and justly; and do so efficiently and effectively based on our tribal constitution
and Code of Laws.
Absentee Shawnee Tribe Child
Support Services
Child support programs assist
families to obtain and maintain self-sufficiency by holding absent parents legally responsible for the financial well-being of their children. The Modoc child
support program has been unable to
meet the needs of the Absentee Shawnee Tribal members and children due to
jurisdictional and cultural issues. Lack
of this crucial service has caused many
tribal children and their families to do
without for a very long time. Tribal child
support programs are bound by different regulations than state programs, but
both state and tribal regulations contain
the same basic requirements that they
must be able to establish paternity, establish, enforce and modify child support orders and they have to be able to
locate both custodial and non-custodial
parents and their assets.

wear at their commencement. The Governor has long believed education is the
springboard to a brighter future for our
people. The stole is a simple but meaningful way the tribe can reward students
who have completed their educational goals. We encourage our Absentee
Shawnee graduates to share the joy of
their special day by posting photos of
themselves in their stoles at graduation
and tagging the various social media
platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram. Attaining a high School
degree is a truly momentous occasion
and something to be proud of for a lifetime. In turn, it also encourages younger
students to achieve their goals by showing them what is possible.
Reintegration for Imprisoned Tribal
Members
We first met with the Central
Oklahoma Workforce Innovation Board
in June of 2018 regarding the need for
resources to assist inmates transitioning
from incarceration to returning citizens
with work clothing, tools, boots, and/
or helpful information. The inmates receive skill training while in the corrections system then prior to release, Mr.
Moore, the Regional Coordinator, Career Tech Skills Center Division, locates
employment in the community where
each individual is returning. Their program is very productive however funds
are limited and are unable to be in all
prisons.
According to the FY2017 State
of Oklahoma Prisons data, there were
21 Absentee Shawnee Tribal Members
incarcerated. (4 Females and 17 Males)
Many of them are receiving the AST
Newspaper and are looking for a source
for personal Hygiene items.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA)
A Volunteer Tax preparation for
the employees and tribal members for
the tax year 2018 filed 71 Federal and
70 State returns. According to our IRS
Tax Consult, the savings to the tax payers was roughly $16,000 and the Earned
Income Tax Credit returned $22,652
back to our community. The 10 Volunteers did a terrific job.

Secretary’s
Report
By John Johnson
AST Secretary
Good day Tribal Members,
Here we are in May, almost half
way through the year and it is just flying
by. Trees are budding, weather is warming up and the birds are singing. I think
spring is officially here!
General Council was a great
turnout. It’s always a good time to get
some great information from the Executive Committee members; as well as
our tribal people to share concerns and
ne fe we

ideas. I appreciate all who could attend.
Our Easter egg hunt was a lot of fun and
it was a beautiful day. I am so happy
that we decided to change the date. It
couldn’t have gone any better. The kids
had a great time and the adults looked
like they enjoyed it as well. Thank you
to all who came to have some fun with
us.
June run-off is just around the
corner, I encourage all tribal members
to get out and vote on June 15, 2019.
Your vote counts.
I have been extremely busy the
past month getting everything done for
General Council and Easter, my staff
has been busy as well. So if you have
question or concerns, please come see
me or give me a call.
Thank you,
Secretary Johnson

Executive Committee
Treasurer Report
By Phillip Ellis
AST Treasurer
My focus since I have been in
office has been forward and incremental
progress for our tribe. I have been working closely with Sec. Johnson and Rep.
Fletcher as they both have a similar goal
to drive the tribe forward through progress in their departments and supporting
economic development. I have tried to
work with our current Governor and Lt.
Governor but have been met with opposition and a number of excuses. Progress is not something we can just talk
about, it has to be something we point
at and can see. Our current governor,
who has been in office for almost 6
years, has provided plenty of excuses
why she can’t show any progress in her
areas of influence. Instead she blames
others and seeks to create fabricated
drama in other areas in order to hide her
lack of progress or lack of impact to our
tribe. I have been in office for less than
a year and can show immediate positive
impact to our tribe, development in our
tribal operations and an investment in
our tribe’s future. That is only accomplished because of my leadership team
who work diligently to avoid the blame
game and seek out solutions. I am successful in my goals, because I surround
myself with successful and intelligent
people. But most importantly, I listen
to their counsel and recommendations
to benefit our tribe.
In most organizations, 70% of
operating expenses are in human capital.
Excuses are major obstacles to success.
They decrease morale, sap energy, lead
to misunderstandings, confuse communication, and damage credibility. Even
an incremental increase in a team’s productivity can have a huge impact on the
bottom line. A negative impact on our
bottom line can have a devastating impact on our tribe’s progress. Please bear
in mind how important it is to choose
the right leaders that will provide action
and move this tribe forward.
Usually, I would provide more
of a focus on my department’s progress.
However I am also submitting our AST
health system’s response to the Governor’s unfounded allegations in her General Council report. I feel it is important
that the truth be stated.
Minors Trust Follow Up
For our minor’s per cup that is
being managed by ABG, it was asked at
General Council if the minors would be
getting an individual interest or a pooled
interest when they get a pay out at the
age of majority (age 18). It will be a
pooled interest. Please be on the look
out for communication from ABG for
all eligible minors and their parents.
Legal Fees Update
The legal fees from our current Attorney General has continued to
climb. This has been a concern of mine
since I don’t see much benefit to our
tribe. Additionally, a majority of their
billings is coming from the Governor’s
office and I believe are unnecessary and
unwarranted costs. At General Council
we heard a great recommendation to
internally hire legal council instead of
farming it out. I believe this is a feasible solution to minimize these high
legal costs. Total legal fees to date is
$2,345,452.66.

My General Council Report
was for you, the Tribal People of our
Great Tribe. It is information that I had
obtained from an anonymous person. I
guess I have hit a nerve in the Health
Department to have to share with
non-tribal employees. It leads me to believe that “time will tell if there is some
truth to my report”. I had recently traveled to Michigan as I have stated in my
newsletter article to a Self-Governance
Conference only to have been told by
a person in Indian Health Service that
they had received an anonymous email
from someone in the Absentee Shawnee
Health Clinic. The email was pertaining
to the Absentee Shawnee Convenience
Store and the AST Health Clinic of
funds being used from Health.

My Condolences to the passing of Amy
Beth Littlehead Hilderbrand Family.
Amy and I were high school friends back

School then she moved to Maud and attended Maud Public School. She was an
employee here at the Absentee Shawnee
Tribe for many years. She worked in the
Health field, Cultural Preservation, Gift
Shop, Governor Assistant and Finance.
The Tribe was honored to have Amy as
an employee for many years of her life.
For those families who may have lost a

condolences to you and your family on

April 11. Andrea gave a presentation on
AST traditional tribal women’s attire.
We also set up two tables with replicas
and information about our tribe’s history. The children were given the opportunity to view and handle the various
replicas of tools, arrowheads and spears
that are housed in our Cultural Preservation Department. We shared a bit of
our tribal history as children and families come by our table and picked up
brochures on the AST and the Shawnee
National Forest.
In addition, the Citizen Pottawatomie
Tribe was in attendance and shared
their history. The Citizen Pottawatomie
women sang a few of their women’s
tribal songs. A meal was shared by all
in attendance.
As a result of this participation, our AST

I am also excited about the youth camp.

entry gate and paving around the main
camp building should be completed by
the end of the year. Be on the lookout
for updates on this greatly anticipated
project.
In the last 10 months that I have
been in office I have seen a great deal of
progress with my departments. I have
also seen great progress when our EC
members worked together, specifically
with Treasurer Ellis and Secretary Johnson. I have tried to work with Governor
Wolf and Lt. Gov. Blanchard. However,
both are short sighted and do not work
in a team setting very well. Leaders
that cannot collaborate and don’t listen
to wise counsel are not the leaders we
should be looking to lead our tribe. I
have been very disappointed in the inactivity of Governor Butler Wolf and Lt.
Governor Ken Blanchard. I have not
seen or heard of any progress from their
departments. What I have heard is a lot
of excuses and blatant lies that have targeted me. They also try to cause strife
in other areas to hide their lack of progress. Our tribe has not had much overall progress in the past 6 years. They
do a great deal of talk with no follow
up. I can only attribute that to the lack
of leadership from Governor Wolf. It
is essential that our leaders have business acumen and leadership experience.
Lack of both is detrimental to our tribe’s
progress and hurts the departments under those elected leaders. It is time for
our tribe to start moving. Governor
Wolf continues to try to hurt the tribe
by lashing out against our enterprises.
That type of weak leadership is wounding our reputation in the community. If
you are as frustrated with leaders that lie
and don’t deliver, then I ask that you to
please consider helping me to keep our
leaders accountable. I am passionate for
the progress of our tribe and I back it
up with action; not just talk. Join me to
help move this tribe forward.

Probate Mission Statement
The primary mission of the Division of the Probate is to compile inventories of the Indian Trust Assets and
family information, and to coordinate
the timely distribution of trust assets
with the Office of Hearing and appeals,
Land Titles and Records Office and the
Office of the Special Trustee.
The Division of Probate Gathers information regarding decedent’s
family and property and prepares it for
adjudication by the Office of 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.
In order for this to happen, the
family of the decedent will need to contact the Absentee Shawnee Real Estate
Division (Probate) to start the probate
process.
Should you have any questions, please contact Probate Specialist, Cara Usrey at 405-275-4030 ext.

Monthly Update
The American Heart Association will
have their annual Heart Walk in Oklahoma City this year in June, so get moving and stay healthy in 2019! Our new
e-ClinicalWorks health record system is
doing great things now! Please ensure
you update all of your family’s information so that it stays current, and please
use the new app “Healow” which stands
for “health and online wellness” which
will be your AST Health System’s Patient Portal to control several aspects of
your healthcare! Kiosks have been deployed at various locations in the health
system that allow you to remotely check
into your appointments, so lots of great
things continuing to come online with
our new system! See your registration
staff or providers for more information.
We are always thankful and very
proud of our outstanding star performers, and thank them all for their contributions to our patients, their fellow
employees, and the tribe! Employee
Awards and awardees are listed below.
The AST Health System always 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!
By Mark E. Rogers, MAL, FACHE,
CMPE, CHC
AST Health Systems Executive
Director
The AST Health System Intern
Program will be meeting soon to select
the new 2019 Interns for the program’s
third year. Native American AST Tribal Students will have the opportunity to
experience the entire health system’s
operations, work in a paid position
throughout the summer months, and
graduate the program with both work
experience in the healthcare setting as
well as a letter of recommendation from
the health system for successful completion of the program. Graduation of
the program culminates with a ceremony with parents and friends celebrating
their accomplishment. The goal of the
program is to attract tribal youth into
health career fields and professional careers by exposing them to these various
professions and helping them decide
early on what may be of interest to them
and vector them into a future within the
health programs.
We will be having preventative testing
and other health awareness programs
for Men’s Health Month in June as well
as events for our Women’s Health Program this month in May. We continue to work with the Health Program’s
Leadership Team of the Shawnee Service Unit (SSU) Coalitions to improve
patient care and experiences for our
area and our patients with best practices
and innovative cooperation on community health programs. We appreciate the
leadership and support of the AST Tribe
and other tribes in working together to
better all of our programs and services
in our area with our Kickapoo, Sac &
Fox, Iowas, and CPN health partners!

compared with older adolescents and young adults. This may result in longer lasting immunity.
THE HPV VACCINE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE

AST Members Recieve
AIAS Scholarship
Sadie Littlecreek and Connor Edwards
The University of Oklahoma’s American Indian Alumni Society (AIAS) is an
alumni organization that assists American Indian students in the pursuit of
higher education through scholarship
support and support of current American Indian student organizational events
throughout the school year. The AIAS
established the F. Browning Memorial
Scholarship Fund in honor of the late
Mr. Pipestem who was dedicated to enriching the lives of American Indian students and devoted his time and energy
for the American Indian community: the
society also established the F. Browning Pipestem Memorial Golf Scramble
held each year. The American Indian
Programs and Services held an awards
banquet on April 23, 2019, at the Jim
Thorpe Multicultural Center where the
2019-2020 scholarships were presented.
There were 7 Native students selected
to receive this scholarship honor and
2 of the recipients are Absentee Shawnee Tribal citizens, the current reigning
Miss Indian OU, Sadie Littlecreek and
Mr. Connor Edwards. These students
have demonstrated a combination of
academic, community, and cultural
achievement with plans help better our
American Indian community and resources. The AIAS applauds them for
their hard work and dedication.
