Governor’s Report

Happy New Year My Fellow Tribal Members!!

I hope everyone had a safe holiday and spent time with your families.

On January 13, 2018 at 11:00 a.m., the First Tribal Address will be

held at the Multi-Purpose Building on the Absentee Shawnee Complex. I would like to speak to the tribal people on the state of the tribe

when I first started my role as Governor, where the Tribe is today and

where we can be in the next 5 to 10 years. Being transparent to you,

the members of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe, has always been my

platform. I hope that everyone will be able to attend the First Tribal

Address of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe in January.

the chance to talk to one other and talk about what each tribe is doing

in economic development.

As everyone knows the month of December is very busy at the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Complex. We are working on budgets, Christmas

programs and our Tribal Christmas Children outing to the movie. The

Absentee Shawnee Tribal Christmas Children outing was for ages 0

– 18 and they will receive a $25.00 Wal-Mart Gift Card. If you were

not able to attend the movie, you may pick up the gift card at the AST

The Christmas season is

over and a new year has

begun!

BBIII 2017 Christmas Program

December was fun, chaotic, and festive, all at the

same time! We had a great turn out for our Christmas

program. The teachers and kiddos worked so hard

on their performances. Everyone made it through

all the singing, laughing, dancing and crying. Chef

Suzy made a wonderful buffet of food for everyone to

enjoy. We thank all of the families who were able to

join us to celebrate Christmas.

Our employee dinner was held at the center. We enjoyed the delicious food we had catered by Ted’s and

everyone participated in a Secret Santa gift exchange.

We are excited to be growing! In fact, we are in the

process of opening two more classrooms, a second 2’s

class and a second 3’s class. Because of this, we’ve

hired 2 new full-time employees. We still have availability in our classrooms, since we’re licensed for 103

children. Please feel free to visit our center between

9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and/or 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

for a tour. Or call the center with any questions you

may have.

The Dangers of Winter Coats

and Car Seats

Puffy Coat Check

Winter brings cold weather and potentially slick roads, but

families still need to travel every day. We bundle up our

children to help them brave the elements, but a bulky coat

and a car seat can be a dangerous combination. There are

ways to safely transport children in child car seats while

still keeping them warm.

As a general rule, winter coats should not be worn underneath a car seat harness because than can leave the harness

too loose to be effective in a crash. Here’s a simple way to

check whether your child’s coat is too big to wear underneath a harness:

Step 1. Put the coat on your child, sit him or her in the car

seat and fasten the harness. Tighten the harness until you

can no longer pinch any of the webbing with your thumb

and forefinger.

Step 2. Without loosening the harness at all, unhook it and

remove your child from the car seat. Take the coat off,

put your child back in the car seat, and buckle the harness

straps, which should be adjusted just as they were when the

child was wearing the coat.

If you can pinch the webbing between your thumb and forefinger now, then the coat is too bulky to be worn under the

harness.

How to Bundle Up Safely

If you find that the coat can’t be safely worn under the harness, here are a couple things you can do:

•

For smaller children, put a blanket over them to keep

warm.

•

For a bigger child, after securing him or her in the car

seat, turn the coat around and put it on backward (with arms

through the armholes), so the back of the coat serves as a

blanket resting on top of the harness.

AST Health System

ASTHS January 2018 Monthly Update

The health system is very excited about the New Year and the new services that we

continue to offer the patients of the AST Health System. The health team continues

to press forward with the Tribal Consultation process with participation at both the

federal and state level regarding funding and efforts with the new administration. In

addition to dealing with the fallout of the state’s budget cuts, and the effort with the OSDH in taking care of all

of our patients on services with SoonerCare (Medicaid) programs, advocacy is as important as ever in fighting

for every cent with our tribal partners and the tribe’s self-governance office. We are bringing our Chronic Care

Program online very soon along with expanding our services via our Diabetes and Behavioral Health programs.

As patient loads increase, we are very thankful for the effort by all to help us reduce missed appointments!

Missed appointments costs money and time away for patient care, and negatively impacts all clinical areas

with underutilization of services – great job to both the patients and the health team! Please continue to be

leery of the flu season, as we continue to see increase effects of it upon our patients and their families. In this

New Year we wish everyone good health, and if you are not experiencing good health, please come and see us

and let us help you with our vast array of outstanding people, services, and programs!

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 January 2018 Employees of the Month and the Employee of the Year will be announced in the February

Newsletter as selection was not completed by the printing due to the holiday schedule – stay tuned!

Keeping Your Children Safe During

the Winter Months

Staying Healthy

•

Feed your children healthy, balanced meals during the winter. Include

fruits and vegetables.

•

Teach children how to properly wash their hands to kill germs.

•

If your child is sick, keep them home from school and other public places

until they are better.

•

Ask your pediatrician about the necessity of flu vaccines for young children

•

Stay inside during extremely cold or wet weather.

•

Make sure your family takes multivitamins every day.

•

Sanitize shared items such as phones, toys, and door knobs regularly.

Playing Outside

•

Set a limit on time spent outside. Have children come inside periodically to

warm up or change into dry clothes.

•

Make sure your child has sunscreen on all exposed skin. Sunlight’s reflec-

tion in the snow can cause sunburns even in the winter.

•

Do not allow children to build snow forts or tunnels that could collapse and

bury them.

•

Check on your children regularly to make sure gloves are dry and noses

aren’t too red.

•

Give your children a healthy snack before allowing them to play in the

snow. Extra calories will give them plenty of energy.

•

Regularly de-ice or sand areas where children may play.

•

Do not let younger children shovel snow; it can strain their muscles.

34

What to Wear

•

Multiple layers of tight to loose-fitting clothes, water-proof top layer, and

warm socks and boots. Avoid cotton, instead dress them in wool or flannel.

•

Buy water-proof boots that are one or two sized too big so your child will be

able to wear multiple pairs of socks.

•

Apply powder to your child’s feet before putting on boots to prevent dampness.

•

Avoid drawstrings as they can cut off circulation and make frostbite a greater threat.

•

It is very important that children wear hats and gloves. Most body heat is

lost through the head and hands.

•

Dress children in colorful clothes that are easily seen from a distance.

Sledding Safety

•

Never use streets to sled on unless they have been blocked off from traffic

•

Sled only in the daytime

•

Do not sled on steep or icy hills

•

Avoid bumps in the snow that could cause the sled to become airborne. Also

watch out for trees in the sled’s path

•

Go in groups, an adult should always accompany young children

Tax Commission

AST Tax Commission/

Department –

December 2017

As chairman of the AST Tax Commission, over the

coming months I’d like to begin to start educating the

AST membership about the purpose and role of the

AST Tax Commission and how we work. Although

taxes are one of those necessary “evils” in society

and in our daily lives, governments around the world

couldn’t function without taxes; our tribal government is no exception. In order to obtain the necessary revenue for the Tribe to operate, the AST Tax

Commission is authorized by the AST Tax Code to

perform the assessment, compliance/collection, and

enforcement of taxes imposed by the AST Tax Code.

So who is the AST Tax Commission?

To begin with the AST Tax Commission was established with the mission to “… carry out the duties and

functions assigned to it in the AST Tax Laws”. Per

the Code, the Commission consists of three commissioners appointed by the Executive Committee and

a staff/department consisting of a Tax Administrator,

Administrative Assistant, and a Tax Clerk. Approximately 90% of taxes collected are from sales and

motor vehicles. And although it’s the Tax Commission/Department who collects the taxes we have no

authority to determine how those taxes are spent. It’s

the Executive Committee who determines how those

taxes are allocated and spent.

Title VI News

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s 2018, can you believe it?

CLOSINGS:

•

We will be closed on January 1; no meals will be served or

delivered this day.

•

January 15, AST complex will be closed in remembrance of

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

During the less than 13 years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December, 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more

genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous

350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s

pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history. Later in 1968, Dr. King’s wife, Mrs.

Coretta Scott King, officially founded the Martin Luther King, Jr.

Center for Nonviolent Social Change, which she dedicated to being a

“living memorial” aimed at continuing Dr. King’s work on important

social ills around the world.

On behalf of the Title VI Staff and Title VI Members, we wish

to extend a big Ne Yi Wa (Thank you) to the Lt. Governor

John Raymond Johnson. He made it possible for an awning plus a guard rail to be installed at the Title VI Building

in Shawnee.

We had a great turnout for Bingo! 74 elders and five guests participated.

Session Name

Absentee Shawnee Tribe – Severe Weather Policy effective

December 2013 states:

2. PROVISIONS

a. Prior to normal starting time it will be announced on one of the

local television or radio channels that the Absentee Shawnee Tribe is

open and/or closed based on weather severity. The Governor, and/

or designee, will report to these channels: Channel 4, 5, 9, Fox 25;

Radio- KTOK 1000; KOCK 1520 AM. Formerly the policy has been

that when schools in Little Axe and Shawnee are closed then employees would be allowed administrative leave. This policy seeks to

clarify on procedures and gives the decision making process back to

the Tribe.

b. On days when weather conditions worsen as the day progresses,

the Governor or another Member of the Executive Committee may

decide to close early. In such cases, a decision and an announcement

will be made through email to all employees

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

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.

suggest it’s a strategy that could work. Here are a few key points:

• Lower eating frequency is associated with weight and fat loss.

• Energy deficit (calorie restriction) is critical to achieving weight

and fat loss.

• Eating breakfast can help.

• Exercise regularly to keep up your metabolic rate, energy expenditure, and health and fitness while you lose weight.

While eating two meals per day generally seems like the most effective

strategy for weight and fat loss, it may not work for you. Make sure to

mitigate unintended consequences by defining your goals and planning

your dietary strategy before you get going. Define your goals clearly,

write down how you plan to change your diet and assess body composition on a regular schedule to find out if your plan is working. Remember

that there is no ‘magic pill’ solution to achieving your body composition

goals. Onlly dedication and hard work will get you there, but if you’re

MISSION STATEMENT

Applications

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 Hearings and Appeals, Land Titles and Records Office and the Office of

Special Trustee.

For

Fall 2016

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.

Deadline for applications is June 1, 2016

For more information, visit Haskell Indian

Nations University website at www.haskell.edu.

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 Lea Tsotaddle at 405-275-4030 ext. 6248.

Here are the guideline that the Probate Office follows:

25 C.F.R Part 15

§ 15.104 - Does the agency need a death certificate to prepare a probate file?

(a) Yes. You must provide us with a certified copy of the death certificate if a death certificate exists. If necessary, we will make a copy from your certified copy for our

use and return your copy.

(b) If a death certificate does not exist, you must provide an affidavit containing as much information as you have concerning the deceased, such as:

(1) The State, city, reservation, location, date, and cause of death;

(2) The last known address of the deceased;

(3) Names and addresses of others who may have information about the deceased; and

(4) Any other information available concerning the deceased, such as newspaper articles, an obituary, death notices, or a church or court record.

§ 15.105 - What other documents does the agency need to prepare a probate file?

In addition to the certified copy of a death certificate or other reliable evidence of death listed in § 15.104, we need the following information and documents:

(a) Originals or copies of all wills, codicils, and revocations, or other evidence that a will may exist;

(b) The Social Security number of the decedent;

(c) The place of enrollment and the tribal enrollment or census number of the decedent and potential heirs or devisees;

(d) Current names and addresses of the decedent’s potential heirs and devisees;

(e) Any sworn statements regarding the decedent’s family, including any statements of paternity or maternity;

(f) Any statements renouncing an interest in the estate including identification of the person or entity in whose favor the interest is renounced, if any;

(g) A list of claims by known creditors of the decedent and their addresses, including copies of any court judgments; and

(h) Documents from the appropriate authorities, certified if possible, concerning the public record of the decedent, including but not limited to, any:

(1) Marriage licenses and certificates of the decedent;

(2) Divorce decrees of the decedent;

(3) Adoption and guardianship records concerning the decedent or the decedent’s potential heirs or devisees;

(4) Use of other names by the decedent, including copies of name changes by court order; and

(5) Orders requiring payment of child support or spousal support.

§ 15.201 - What will the agency do with the documents that I provide?

After we receive notice of the death of a person owning trust or restricted land or trust personalty, we will examine the documents provided under §§ 15.104 and

15.105, and other documents and information provided to us to prepare a complete probate file. We may consult with you and other individuals or entities to obtain

additional information to complete the probate file. Then we will transfer the probate file to OHA.

Since the retirement of Judge Reeh and the departure of ALL the OKC support staff a temporary alignment was made until effective 01/01/2016, further notice.

Our office submits the probate case file to Shawnee Field Office when all documents are received.

Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps

The medicine wheel and 12 Step program was developed to provide a culturally appropriate 12 Step program for Native American people. This program was developed by

White Bison, based upon teachings of the Medicine Wheel, the Cycle of Life and the Four Laws of Change.

How the Process Works

The Medicine Wheel and 12 Step program is designed in a series of modules that enable people to meet their individual needs. Participants watch a video that explains Medicine Wheel

teachings and apply them to their lives. In addition, participants share their insights and experiences in a talking circle. They also learn how to mind map their own innate knowledge

around these teachings and then apply that knowledge to their daily lives and decision making processes. For those working through the program in a group setting

(i.e. Circles of Recovery) very strong social and emotional bonds are created that help the individuals who participate to develop trust, autonomy, and other healthy feelings and

thought patterns that will help them to grow emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Focus

S

The focus of the program is on character and values. Thus each of the 12 Steps is presented from the perspective of the value that it reflects.

Step 1: Honesty

Step 6: Willingness

Step 10: Perseverance

Step 2: Hope

Step 7: Humility

Step 11: Spiritual Awakening

Step 3: Faith

Step 8: Forgiveness

Step 12: Service

Step4: Courage

Step 9: Justice

Step 5: Integrity

Teachings of the Medicine Wheel

The Medicine Wheel is an ancient method for teaching important concepts about truth and life. Many Native American communities use a Medicine Wheel, although the colors and the

symbols are different depending upon the culture. The purpose is the same in each culture. These teachings, when applied to one’s life, have the power to influence significant

change in attitudes, behaviors, values and intent. The Elders have shared a series of Teachings based upon the Natural Order of the way things should be. These are sometimes referred

to as the “original instructions.” These important Teachings are included in the Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps:

Four Seasons of Change

Four Laws of Change

Four Directions of Growth

Twelve Principles for Healthy Living

Reclaiming our Power

The 12 Steps of Recovery

Nature’s Way: Principles, Laws and Values

Cycle of Life

Eight Feelings for Healthy Development
