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 Chairwoman White Earth Nation 1 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. White Earth Reservation Tribal Council Erma J. Vizenor Chairwoman Robert J. Durant Terrence “Terry” Tibbetts Irene “Rene” Auginaush Kenneth “Gus” Bevins Secretary/Treasurer District II Representative District I Representative District III Representative 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. Directors Ron Valiant Elizabeth St. Clair Angela Bellanger Joe Plumer Patricia Butler Ben Bement Larry Olson Randy Goodwin Executive Director Behavior Health Human Services Burny Tibbetts Public Works Joan LaVoy Education Jerome Lhotka Economic Development Deputy Director Judicial Services IT Elizabeth Foster-Anderson White Earth Enterprises Lois Edwards Human Resources 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.

Public Safety Scott Omlid Finance Jen McDougall Housing Mike Swan Natural Resources 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. 3 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. 5 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. 7 White Earth Mii-gii-way-win Advisory Board Last fiscal year the Donations Committee comprised of White Earth Nation and Shooting Star Casino employees approved 111 donation requests for a total of $100,000.

Storm Relief An outreach center staffed by Constituent Services and White Earth Home Health was opened at the White Earth Family Office Located in Cass Lake MN. White Earth Nation Natural Resources, Department of Transportation and Housing Authority removed trees, limbs, and debris from 40 home sites The Oshki Manidoo Center is owned, operated and licensed by the White Earth Nation. We are a 90 day residential alcohol and drug treatment program for Native and Non-native youth, with a Native American cultural emphasis. Culture is embraced and practiced throughout all aspects of campus life brining a holistic method of healing to our youth and families. Circle Back Center, operating under a grant by the United States Office of Juvenile Justice Department, works closely with other White Earth Nation youth service programs at improving communication and collaboration among services providers and decrease duplication of services. • Annual Brain Conference Communicator Award Earth Nation to talk to youth on substance abuse and making positive choices. • WETCC receives $158,000 Tribal Initiative grant for computers, equipment • Juvenile Wellness and DWI Courts offer an alternative to mainstream judicial processes, allowing for greater successful outcomes and breaks self-defeating behaviors and promote safety and well-being. • White Earth Substance Abuse prevention specialists are going throughout White • Juvenile Court Diversion Project, Peacemaking Circles, in partnership with Minnesota Department of Human Services, Minnesota Department of Corrections and Becker, Mahnomen and Clearwater Counties • Naytahwaush Charter School takes top honors at White Earth Science Fair • Elders Fishing • White Earth Nation hosts Minnesota Indian Education Association Conference • Drug Prevention Training at SSC • Foundation that awarded grant to WE teens reaches milestone: over 3,000 girls helped 11 Constitutional Reform Highlights • Added protection of Indian Sacred Sites • Sanford Health hire Native American Healers • Cobel Settlement • Nelson Timber Settlement - MN Chippewa Tribe Distribution Act • Hearth Act - Tribal Control of leasing • Tribes create Native Youth Alliance of Minnesota • Senate passes legislation protecting Native domestic violence victims • Government Tribal Law and Order Act • White Earth represented at Annual Tribal Nations Conference in DC • 2nd annual historical trauma conference • USDA Home Repair Grants Available • Tribal Nations Education Committee • Democratic Senator Al Franken visits White Earth to discuss education and drug issues 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. 13 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. 15 White Earth Nation celebrates many pow wows through out the year in our communities. • Honoring our Mother’s Pow Wow - White Earth • Harvest Fest Pow Wow - Naytahwaush • Native American Heritage Pow Wow - Naytahwaush • New Year’s Eve Sobriety Pow Wow - Naytahwaush • Callaway Pow Wow - Callaway • Rice Lake Memorial Day Pow Wow - Rice Lake • Pine Point Pow Wow - Pine Point • Head Start Pow Wow - Naytahwaush • Circle of Life Pow Wow - White Earth • Annual White Earth Celebration and Pow Wow - White Earth Please join us for the 145th Annual White Earth Celebration and Pow Wow June 14 - 16, 2013 17 White Earth Nation is declared a wolf sanctuary 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 19 Shooting Star opened the doors in 1992 with a message to guests, “Shooting Star, Where The Stars Always Shine.” Now, 20 years later, Shooting Star is still shining brightly.
