The KBIC Tribal Veterans Wiikwedong Ogichidaa Society Honor Guard proudly displayed two new scooters they received on Saturday, April 13, 2019. The Veterans’ scooters were made possible through the Wounded Warriors Family Support Network wwfs.org. Rodney Loonsfoot, Tribal Council/ Veteran Service Representative, began the process last year through application. The Tribe had to have an accredited service officer who is recognized by the Veterans Administration. KBIC met all the eligibility requirements and was awarded the scooters to assist Tribal Veterans with mobilization. The KBIC Tribal Veterans Wiikwedong Ogichidaa Society Honor Guard was awarded a 2018 Ford Explorer in December of 2017. They have put the vehicle to very good use by assisting Tribal Veterans for appointments, advocacy, and other needs. The vehicle was also made possible through the Wounded Warriors Family Support Network wwfs.org. The Veterans hold a monthly meeting on the third Wednesday of every month at the Veterans’ building. The Wiikwedong Ogichidaa Society is recruiting Tribal Veterans. There is a need for volunteers and drivers.

(1) Bezhig APRIL 6, 2018 TRIBAL COUNCIL MEETING The Regular Quarterly Tribal Council Meeting was held on Saturday, April 6, 2019, at the Big Bucks Bingo Hall in Baraga, Michigan. President Warren Swartz, Jr., presided over the meeting with Gary F. Loonsfoot, Jr., Susan J. LaFernier, Toni Minton, Doreen Blaker, Robert R.D. Curtis, Jr., Dale Goodreau, Randall Haataja, Kim Klopstein, Michael F. LaFernier, Sr., Rodney Loonsfoot, and Elizabeth D. Mayo present. President Swartz shared numerous Thank You and For Your Information items addressed to Council. President Warren “Chris” Swartz, Jr. gave the President’s Report (page three), Secretary Susan J. LaFernier gave the Secretary’s Report (page four), and CEO Sarah Smith gave the CEO Report (page two). Council approved the Department Head Reports for February 2019, and Council Meeting Minutes for March 14, March 21, March 22, March 26, and March 28, 2019. Under recognized scheduled delegation/individuals: Marquette County Board of Directors’ Vice Chair Joseph Derocha addressed Council by offering deep appreciation from Marquette County on the 40-million dollar Casino II Project. In another matter, Mr. Derocha informed Council that the Marquette County Board of Directors had received a request from the Tribe to put some property into trust in Marquette County near Snowfield Road and a housing project. The Board wasn’t sure of the details and were looking at turning it down. Derocha indicated he made a motion to put it on hold to allow KBIC’s Realtor Officer to bring forward further information on the purpose. Mr. Derocha introduced Derek Parker, Owner of a Medical Marijuana Facility in Humboldt, Michigan. Mr. Parker currently owns the largest facility in the Upper Peninsula. President Warren “Chris” Swartz, Jr. and Vice President Gary Loonsfoot, Jr. had toured his facility last week. President Swartz said, “It is a great facility, and like Joe said, he has the biggest marijuana operation in the Upper Peninsula right now. Gary and I decided to visit the facility, and it is very impressive. We wanted to see if there was an opportunity between KBIC and Derek Parker in moving forward with the Medical Marijuana operation. We are in the preliminary discussions, and I want to engage our Cannabis Committee with this venture. It is an opportunity to provide a revenue stream to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community similar to what the State of Michigan is doing. This industry is going to be bigger than Indian Gaming. Right now it is probably a 12to 13-billion-dollar operation nation-wide, and by the end of next year it is estimated to be about a 30-billion-dollar operation. That is what Indian Gaming is right now, a 30-billiondollar operation in the United States. Within a couple of years, this industry is proposed to go twice as big as Indian Gaming is. This is an opportunity for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community to diversify its portfolio and take advantage of this new revenue stream being afforded here in Michigan. We are very appreciative of Joseph Derocha and Derek Parker in coming forward and showing us the facility, and starting the initial discussions in this possible venture.” Joseph Derocha said, “This is an up and coming revenue stream, and it is no secret that this has been legalized across Michigan. It is legislation; it’s moving forward, and it is the newest and greatest gold rush.” Derek Parker indicated, “I was the first person to put in an application with the State for his Medical Marijuana Industry License. I currently employ nine full-time employees and another six part-time employees. I am very interested and would be honored in working with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community.” Treasurer Doreen Blaker presented the April 2019 donations. Motion by Rodney Loonsfoot to approve April 2019 donations as: $500.00 for Camp New Day U.P.; $100.00 for Freshwater Future; $500.00 for the American Legion Foucault—Funke Post 444 (flags, markers, wreaths); $100.00 for Mike Payment for Congress—North Carolina; $300.00 each for Joshua Eagle’s two daughters AAU basketball fees/expenses — for a total of $1,800.00, supported by Kim Klopstein. Ten supported (G. Loonsfoot, S. LaFernier, Minton, Blaker, Curtis, Goodreau, Haataja, Klopstein, M. LaFernier, R. Loonsfoot), 0 opposed, one abstained (Mayo), 0 absent, motion carried. Council adjourned with no further business on the agenda. ~ Submitted by Lauri Denomie, Newsletter Editor CEO’s Quarterly Report for the Months of January, February, and March 2019 1. MISSION STATEMENT: To provide exceptional services for our membership; a safe, positive work environment for employees; and sustained economic prosperity while protecting our sovereignty and preserving our culture and natural resources for future generations. VISION STATEMENT: A Tribe that preserves the Anishinaabe culture, advances economic diversity, provides opportunities to enhance independence, and promotes the health and well-being of our Community. 2. Updates: Over the last quarter, I have updated the Personnel Policy to reflect all the changes the Tribal Council had approved through a series of Council work sessions that occurred throughout 2018 and up to February 5, 2019. In addition, the Youth Policy was also updated, and the Appeal Policy was worked on with the Appeal’s officer. The essential employee list was compiled for those required to work on snow days. The Oshki Maaji (New Beginning) or Halfway House project has been moving forward with a completion date still in June. As of yesterday, the building has all drywall in place, and the countertops have been chosen for the reception area, kitchen, and laundry rooms. A cell phone quote was obtained to provide services for the upcoming two years. Verizon was chosen. 3. Meetings/Conferences: Over the last quarter, there were two department head meetings held. These have been set to occur on the last Tuesday of each month at 1 pm. The goal of these department meetings will be to review the strategic plan, provide departments with updates on policy, give short training and communication, and allow departments to provide short updates on what is occurring within their departments. At the last meeting, the strategic plan developed in 2017 and the Council Strategic Plan were provided with the goal to review strengths and weaknesses, identify any further weaknesses, and set up action plans to move forward to address those weaknesses. (2) Niizh There were several department short updates at the two meetings that were held, including the extended hours at the Health Department, progress of the Halfway House Project, the non-motorized trail project movement, the General Welfare Exclusion Act Form, new process for Tier 1 forms, NRD and CARE discussion about 4 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Respect), and BIA Drug Tip line. Discussed with employees training available through KBOCC and asked for other trainings they would like. Also discussed the idea of setting a core of training that would be required to be taken: Tribal Government, Constitution, and language. I briefly attended Water Day held in March. 4. Employee Changes: There are no direct reporting changes in the last quarter. The Government currently has 305 employees, with 221 being Native American. There were seven reclassifications completed this past quarter with two not resulting in a grade change, and the rest resulting in a change of grade and/or title. There has also been initial work done on new position descriptions, and the revision of current technician position to allow for a Tiered grade for the position to progress with certifications/ trainings or education. Employee changes within the Government are provided on a weekly basis. 5. Statistical Data/Case Load Information: Personnel actions, budgets (new and modifications), contracts, policy interpretation/draft revisions, and supervision of department was part of my office’s duties over the past quarter. 6. Financial Update: Financial payments from Indian Health Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been received that support our Health, Substance Abuse, Natural Resources, Social Services, Education, Community Assistance Programs, Court, and Police departments. Travel/ training for employees continues to be restricted unless it is grant funded. Respectfully submitted, Sarah Smith, CEO President’s Quarterly Report for the Months of January, February, and March 2019 The following is a summary of activities that occurred in the Office of the President for the months of January, February, and March 2019.         I met and discussed the wastewater board with Wendell Dompier, Baraga Village Manager He is working on improving the infrastructure here, in Baraga, related to the sewer lines. The system is getting old and is in need of improvement. We appointed Dale Goodreau to the Board. I attended a Voigt Task Force meeting. We continue to monitor treaty activities here in the ceded territory. We are constantly mindful of activities that have a potential harm to the treaty-protected resources. As usual, we declared our home territory for the upcoming inland fishing season here in the ceded territories of what we now call Michigan. I will coordinate shared resources with Chairman Williams for this season’s Walleye activity. We hosted a meeting with our Congressional Representative Jack Bergman and his visitor Congressional Representative Stephanie Murphy from Florida. The purpose of the meeting was for congressional members to meet and discuss issues of common concern. Congressman Bergman visited Congressional Representative Murphy’s district last year. They are part of ACE. ACE is an initiative, which seeks to strengthen relationships and build trust while members experience firsthand what motivates, concerns, and inspires each other. I was surprised to know that despite the polarization coursing through our politics, Republican and Democratic members of Congress are now regularly flying across the country to spend a weekend with a colleague from the opposite party in their district. I attended a traditional topping off ceremony at our casino in Marquette. The ceremony is part of a long tradition where we celebrate the last steel beam to be erected. It’s highest beam on the project, on top of the port cochere tower. Most who attended signed the steel beam and watched it being placed and welded into place. We began communicating with the local villages about an opportunity to submit an application to the MDEQ to assist with spring cleanup. We discussed opportunities on how to collaborate with them and informed them of our hazardous waste clean ups, pharmaceutical drop offs, and the operation of our solid wasted facility. We continue to monitor the wind turbine project. The United States Government is a trustee for Indian tribes that include trust resources often called “natural resources” which appertain to tribes with treaty rights. The Federal Government is the trustee, and Indian tribes and their members are the beneficiaries. That’s a legal relationship/ responsibility that has been ignored for many decades in our case. That needs to end! In addition to the disruption to wildlife habitat and a host of other impacts, the construction of the Summit Lake Wind Project will cause interfering with our treaty rights and other impacts. These include potential impacts to marine navigation, and the simple fact that these wind towers and the lighting required for aeronautical safety are inconsistent with the Wilderness Act which governs the Huron Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area. A recent visual impact assessment makes clear that every single one of these wind turbines would be visible from the Huron Islands. Teddy Roosevelt created this National Wildlife Refuge - the third in the Nation and first in the Midwest. It is not just important - it is a National treasure. I was also interviewed by Kaye LaFond regarding the wind farm project from Michigan radio. The interview can be heard on their website. I attended a United Tribes meeting in January. We had an opportunity to hear from the new governor of the State of Michigan. I was hoping for a question and answer period, but the Governor’s schedule was busy. I took the opportunity to discuss our concerns with the new deputy legal counsel for the Governor’s office, Wenona Sengel. Wenona is a tribal member, and we are hoping for good relationships with the Governor’s office. I talked to her about delegated authorities in regards to treaty-protected resources within ceded territories and other concerns of the community. We continue to monitor the rule making process related to the definition of “Waters of the United States”, the term that identifies the scope of federal jurisdiction under the clean        water act. I noted that they are attempting to “preserve the traditional sovereignty of States over their own land and water resources” and the proposed rule is widely expected to narrow the overall number of waters subject to federal jurisdiction. Yesterday, I talked to EPA Regional Administrator Cathy Step; she informed us that our application for Treatment as a State (TAS) is moving forward. The next step in the process is to open it up to the public for a 45-day comment period. Once the comment period is over, they will review the application and make a decision. Finn Ryan Productions was approved to do a short film on the history of Buffalo Reef and the restoration efforts. Buffalo Reef is 2,200-acre natural cobble feature beneath the waters of Lake Superior, located off the eastern edge of Keweenaw Peninsula. The reef itself is an ecological sanctuary for species of Lake Trout and Whitefish spawning. In the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, local mining and stamp mill establishment in Gay, Michigan, began exposing the area to waste products from copper ore milling known as dark stamp sands. Lake currents and winds have assisted the harmful stamp sands in drifting approximately five miles to Buffalo Reef and Grand Traverse Harbor. Currently, approximately 1,426 acres of shoreline and lake bottom are covered by stamp sands which inhibit fish spawning and production. Current conditions and future projected conditions have already threatened the fisheries and local ecosystems. Depletion of the local fisheries have and will continue to negatively impact outdoor recreation, commercial fishing industries, and tribal treaty rights. The Community filed an Amicus Brief in support of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). For over 40 years, ICWA has acknowledged the inherent right of tribal governments, and the critical role they play to protect their member children and maintain the stability of families. Brackeen v. Bernhardt is the lawsuit brought by Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, and individual plaintiffs, who allege ICWA—a federal statute that has been in effect for more than 40 years and has helped thousands of Native children maintain ties to their families and their tribes—is unconstitutional. It is the first time that a state has sued the federal government over ICWA’s constitutionality. The lawsuit names various federal agencies and officials as defendants, and five tribal nations (Cherokee Nation, Morongo Band of Mission Indians, Navajo Nation, Oneida Nation, and Quinault Indian Nation) also have intervened as defendants. In addition, Amicus Briefs in support of ICWA were filed on behalf of 325 tribal nations, 21 states, several members of Congress, and dozens of Native organizations, child welfare organizations, and other allies. We contend ICWA is constitutional. We received the quarterly report from Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College and also their strategic plan as according to the Memorandum of Understanding. I was invited and accepted to a consultation on internet gaming in Roscommon Michigan, from the Deputy Legal Counsel Wenona Singel. We plan to inform them about the negative impacts this would have to our gaming market. The issue is exclusivity on gaming here on or near the L’Anse Indian Reservation. A breach to that may violate our gaming compact with the State of Michigan. We are discussing a possible opportunity for land disposition with Certain Teed who owns the former Celotex Plant. They want to allow us access to land that they are currently using for their waste water treatment process. We are in the initial discussions and would like to know more information on the MDEQ’s requirements regarding the leaking lagoon. They wanted us to sign a Non-disclosure agreement, but I have not signed it. We have asked the Michigan Department of Transportation not to spray their herbicide that contains the chemical Roundup on the L’Anse Indian Reservation. Roundup is a chemical known to created cancer. Respectfully submitted, Warren C. Swartz (3) Niswi Tribal Council Secretary’s Quarterly Report for the Months of January, February, and March 2019 ANIN!

(7) Niizhwaaswi KBIC AIS Program Activities to Intensify in 2019 EDRR: KBIC AIS and Fisheries Staff have partnered since 2016 with the USFWS to conduct an Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) effort, monitoring for potential presence of newly introduced invasive/rare species of adult/ juvenile fishes in the western and central Lake Superior region. Through the years, various gears and techniques have been utilized and modified, following guidance of the USFWS document Implementation Plan for the Early Detection of Non -native Fishes and Benthic Macroinvertebrates. Gear comparisons show that multiple sampling gear utilization characterizes a complex aquatic system more fully (versus what a single gear can accomplish, for example). The main gear uses currently include graded small mesh gillnets, shore parallel mini-fyke net arrays, strategic trawling, and electrofishing. EDRR Summary 2016-18: A total of 180 sites were sampled in Keweenaw and Huron Bays by Early Detection for invasive species or rare species, 2016-18.    A total of 8,773 individual fish caught. There were 38 observed species in sampling effort. Seven were non-native species detected; Alewife, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Eurasian Ruffe, Three Spine Stickleback, Splake and Rainbow Smelt. We continue to interpret all results of the study and what the implications are as we plan for the 2019 field season. The USFWS three-year commitment to this research has been achieved, and in 2019, KBIC will become the lead Agency conducting EDRR work in Keweenaw and Huron Bays, the Portage Waterway, and the Marquette Harbors Regions. Control funding source agreements, target systems for 2019 include the Silver River (Baraga County), the Misery River (Houghton County), and the Firesteel River (Ontonagon County). There is also some discussion pertaining to performance of exploratory Sea Lamprey surveying in the East and West Sleeping Rivers, which meander through portions of KBIC Ontonagon Reservation Lands. In addition to adult Sea Lamprey assessment efforts, KBIC AIS and Fisheries Staff will assist USFWS in conducting larval Sea Lamprey control efforts on select streams. Careful and calculated larval lamprey treatments will occur in several area rivers that are documented to be infested with lamprey at early life history stages. A selective chemical (lampricide) is typically applied in areas of infestation, and this method of control continues to be the most effective way to reduce population numbers. A tentative area treatment schedule in included for 2019 efforts. Please feel free to contact KBIC-NRD with questions or concerns.
