White Earth Nation

State of the Nation Report

Greetings from the great White Earth Nation! Another year has passed and tremendous

progress has been made towards our mission: To preserve, promote and enhance our

quality of life. Our historic resilience as a people persists today as we continue to march

forward working to serve the needs of all of our citizens.

The success of our gaming operations continues to primarily provide for the programs,

services and activities offered throughout the year. We are grateful for what we have, at

the same time vow not to rest on our laurels as there is much work to be done. Education,

training, community health and safety and business diversification remain primary

priorities for White Earth to grow and develop as a nation.

We take pride in many happenings from the past year including the opening of the new

Circle of Life Academy and creation of White Earth Enterprises. We look ahead with

optimism to the coming year for things

such as the opportunity to strengthen

our sovereignty through a vote on

constitutional reform and completion of a

new health dialysis center. Please take

a moment to view the following pages to

learn more about these initiatives, as well

as many others that are occurring.

To preserve, promote and enhance our quality of life.

We are excited about the progress we

have made and look forward to continued

opportunities to build our future.

Miigwech,

Erma J. Vizenor

White Earth Nation

The largest Indian population in Minnesota calls

itself Anishinaabe, which in our language means “the

original people.” White Earth Nation is located in the

north central United States near our Canadian First

Nations brothers and sisters and in proximity to Gitchi

Gumi (Lake Superior). Within our boundaries are all of

Mahnomen and parts of Becker and Clearwater

counties of north-central Minnesota. Although this Nation

was reserved under the 1867 Treaty between the

Mississippi Band of Chippewa Indians and the United

States, our rich heritage far precedes this event. We are

one of seven Chippewa/Ojibwe nations in Minnesota and

while we no longer live as our ancestors of the past we

have kept alive our culture and heritage in almost every

aspect of present day life.

Unfortunately, like so many other Native Nations, slowly over time our land, resources and culture were taken

beginning in 1837 and continuing through subsequent treaties, federal acts and on through the “Termination” period

of the 1950s. To understand the history of White Earth, it is necessary to understand much of the story of American

Indian people has been left out of history books, or begins only after Europeans arrived here.

As is true for all Anishinaabeg living in Minnesota, the story

of the White Earth people begins in ancient times in the

eastern part of the United States. There, our ancestors

lived before coming to the forest and lake country of

eastern and northern Minnesota. As our legends and

stories tell us, the people of White Earth, along with many

other Anishinaabeg, migrated west from the eastern shore

of Turtle Island (North America) stopping and settling in

many places thousands of years ago. The people were

instructed by a prophet to travel west until they found the

food that grows on the water; manoomin (wild rice).

Health

The people of White Earth are resilient and although we were left with a nation of fractioned land, poverty and

economic challenges, we continue to value our heritage, language and culture. We are a progressive nation

determined to exercise our sovereignty, play a key role in this country and state and secure a successful future

for the next seven generations.

Vision: The White Earth Tribal Council will be a proactive organization that makes sound decisions promoting

mino-bimahdiziwin (The Good Life). The White Earth Nation will be a safe place where all people have access

to quality employment, housing, education, health and human services. While we protect our inherent right

to self-governance and identity, we are a community of respect where cultural, historical and environmental

assests are treasured and conserved for future generations.

Community Fun Days

Kids Ice Fishing

Each year White Earth Natural Resources host 10 Ice Fishing

events for area Head Start schools. Kids learn how to catch

fish through the ice while having fun outdoors with the staff.

Cops n Bobbers

The White Earth Natural Resources Department along

with the White Earth Police Department hosted the

Cops n Bobbers event. Nearly 75 kids participated in

fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities.

Sturgeon Release

The White Earth Natural Resource Department along with

the USFWS and Rainy River First Nations stock over

10,000 fingerling sturgeon between two lakes on the

Reservation. To support the restocking efforts of sturgeon on

the White Earth Reservation, the Naytahwaush Community

Charter School raised $702.00, which was donated to the

Natural Resource Department.

WE Tribal Council buys inflatable

games for Community Fun Days.

These inflatables began traveling through the

communities of Naytahwaush, Pine Point,

Rice Lake, White Earth and Mahnomen in January.

New Circle of Life Academy

New Circle of Life Academy opens on September 4 with 168 students in grades K-12.

Total cost of final construction over $13 million dollars.

Pine Point School was awarded a $35,000 USDA grant for HVAC improvements and

$60,000 for a playground installation. They also added a new service truck, outdoor

classroom, 2 new smart boards, new bus garage and with the help of Tribal Council,

a new basketball court.

Race to the Top Early Learning Challege

The White Earth Nation was chosen as one of the four transformation zones in Minnesota to

implement the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant. White Earth Nation will receive

$1,197,553 over four years to increase access to high quality early childhood for children by

providing early childhood scholarships and supporting quality rated programs. The White Earth

Child Care/Early Childhood Program has enrolled over 63 children in the Early Learning

Scholarship Program to date.

Constitutions and a code of values is nothing new to

Anishinaabeg. In fact many of the ideas of our people

were adopted into the constitution of the United

States. A constitution should be a clear reflection of

the people and shift the power from a few influential

leaders to the people. Constitutional reform is

imperative to the sovereignty, self-determination

and economic development of White Earth Nation.

The current constitution, that was a forced

implementation by the US government in 1934, was

rewritten and then ratified in 2009 to include ideas

and concepts based on Anishinaabeg culture and

values. This constitutional voting process will be

funded 100% through a Bush Foundation grant in

the amount of $379,771 and no tribal dollars will be

used ensuring an unbiased vote. Soon, the citizens

of White Earth Nation will be able to decide on

the proposed constitution and create a legacy

for future generations.

Human Service Transfer

Strengthening our sovereignty by demonstrating our capabilities:

The White Earth Band of Ojibwe Human Services Project has begun to accept legal responsibility

for providing human services to tribal members early in 2013. Passed by the Minnesota legislature

in 2011, this transfer will occur first with tribal members living in Mahnomen County and will start

with the White Earth Nation doing eligibility determination for Minnesota Health Care Programs. The

assumption of legal responsibility for other human service programs will follow.

Solar panels

The White Earth Natural Resources

Ice Cracking Office received

funding from Bureau of Indian

Affairs to install solar panels. In

an effort to “Go Green”, the office

is less reliant on non-renewable

energy sources.

Biomass

In mid-2012 White Earth Nation

launched a biomass feasibility

study for wood chip fueled hot

water boilers at Shooting Star

Casino, reducing high energy

cost and dependency on fuel oil.

In order to reduce the fuel oil and

propane costs for the casino’s

boilers systems, White Earth Nation

will obtain a biomass boiler that will

replace 60% to 70% of the energy

output capacity currently created

by the oil and propane system. This

new biomass system should pay for

itself as soon as 2-3 years. With an

ample supply of renewable wood

chips to fuel the system available

in the region this system will

decrease the overall energy cost

to Shooting Star Casino.

Wind

One of the best sources of

renewable energy is the power of

the wind. Our region is in a prime

location to utilize this advantage.

White Earth Nation has installed

two wind turbines in the fall of 2012.

One was installed at the White

Earth Community Service Center

in Naytahwaus and the second one

is located at White Earth Business

Products in Waubun. Each

turbine is expected to produce

about 112,000 kilowatt hours of

electric power annually, offsetting

facility power costs.

Website dedicated to language revitalization

anishinaabemodaa.com

As a result of Strategic Planning, the White Earth Tribal Council formed a Traditions, Language

and Culture (TLC) Committee to focus on revitalizing the language and increase efforts in

preserving and promoting our traditions and culture.

White Earth, to date, has received four grants to support the revitalization of the Ojibwe language

from Minnesota’s Legacy Funds. These funds are granted out to organizations thru the Minnesota

Indian Affairs Council.

Through the grants we have been able to provide Head Start, Child Care and Boys and Girls Club

Staff with Ojibwe language training. Along with this training the TLC committee provides day long

workshops followed up with weekly Skype sessions with attendees. In turn the staff have been

teaching students conversational Ojibwe through songs, games, and daily routines. Through a

grant, The Child Care and various Head Start locations have received iPads loaded with Book’s in

Ojibwe, audio flashcards and access to short movies in Ojibwe.

The TLC is actively supporting Ojibwe round tables, cultural classes, ceremonial drums, and

traditional camps.

The Ma’ iingan has a special relationship with the Anishinaabe. Our creation story explains

that Ma’ iingan is a brother to Original man. That together they traveled throughout the

earth naming everything but when they had finished the creator separated them and

sent Original man and Ma’ iingan on different paths, but indicated that as brothers, what

happens to one of them will happen to the other.

The White Earth Nation Tribal Council, the first Minnesota tribal leadership to respond;

declaring on August 20th, 2012, the territory within the original 1867 exterior boundaries of

White Earth Nation a Sanctuary for our brother; Ma’ iingan.

1855 Treaty Authority

The White Earth and Leech Lake Nations, in defense of the 1855 treaty, have created a

conservation code to one day regulate hunting and fishing for band members not just on

their reservations, but across much of northern Minnesota. The code would even regulate

off-reservation spearing and netting on some lakes. The tribes want to co-manage

resources within the treaty area with the state Department of Natural Resources. If that

occurred, the tribes would issue hunting and fishing permits to band members. Violators

would go to tribal rather than state court.

When the language dies,

we become descendants of

the Ojibwe people, and we

are no longer Ojibwe.

-Earl Nyholm

It is no secret White Earth continues to push a diversification strategy for longterm

financial stability beyond gaming. 2012’s efforts include the formation of White Earth

Enterprises, LLC. White Earth Enterprises, Board and Management role will include;

providing oversight to subsidiary companies, strategic management services to

subsidiary companies, business development services to subsidiary companies,

prospecing business investment in new and existing companies and safeguarding tribal

assets. In 2012, we made a concerted effort to improve the operations of existing

subsidiaries by outsourcing our financial accountability, increasing internal controls

structures and improving operating efficiencies.

In 2013, we continue to work with all of our subsidiary companies to position them for continued

growth. We are actively identifying opportunities to partner with other tribal entities, and explore

viable and valuable strategic partnerships in the coming years. By leading the way in this effort, we

will further establish ourselves as a leading force in economic development within Indian Country.

White Earth Enterprises, LLC currently operates four subsidiary companies including

White Earth Sanitation (White Earth Solid Waste), White Earth Building Supply (formerly

Ojibwa Building Supply), White Earth Business Products (formerly Ojibwa Office Supply)

and White Earth Builders. While our past focus has been

serving tribal interests our future goals are to continue to

increase our business to outside consumers, as highlighted

by the focus on the White Earth Builders project, as well as a

renewed effort on overall service levels for our tribal customers.
