Parker, Community Coordinator Retirement May 2025 In May 1995 Isabel J. Parker began her focus on serving the youth, the elderly, and families housed in Oneida Housing rental units and rent-to-own units. The Neighbor of key focus of key was the Three Sisters Neighborhood, located within Green Bay City limits. At the time in 1995: • • • • • • • • • A must-see movie was Batman Forever, with Val Kilmer as Batman. eBay launched. Sony launched the first Play Station. The Top Song was Fancy, by Mariah Carey "The Rachel" (based on Jennifer Aniston's Friends Character) was many women's haircut of Choice. National average of a home - $ 159,000 Gallon of gas - $1.15 Dozen eggs - $1.16 Over the course of the past twenty-eight (28) years, Isabel has coordinated and administered numerous events and programs for the tenants of Three Sister Neighborhood, and at times Flying Leaf Neighborhood. • Numerous Bike Safety & Repair events with OPD repairing and working on bicycles for the kids • Women's Group -held regular for adult women • Domestic Violence Prevention workshops • Crime Prevention programming, workshops, and activities • Babysitting Classes with TRAILS program • Various kids crafting events • Elder Bingo and other elderly focused events • Countless outings and field trips with youth • 20+ Annual National Night Events In many ways, being a Community Involvement Coordinator is an under-appreciated position. Oneida Housing is faced with so many hot topics and urgent matters, that the daily work and commitment to serving the youth, elders, and families within our neighborhoods is far too easily lost in the shadows.

The ISDEAA seeks to strengthen tribal governments by emphasizing tribal administration of federal Indian programs and associated funds. It accomplishes its objectives by allowing tribal governments to step into the shoes of federal agencies, take over existing federal funding, and deliver programs and services based on tribal priorities. The federal policy of self-determination and self-governance in general, and the ISDEAA in particular, has played a critical role in strengthening tribal governments and communities over the past 50 years. The role of the ISDEAA and related statutes can be expected to grow as tribes continue to expand their exercise of sovereignty and self-governance. The Tribal Self-Governance Conference provided a robust variety of sessions. Here are my highlights of the conference: 1. Providing testimony alongside Chairman Hill at the USDA FDPIR Tribal Leader Consultation in support of permanent expansion of the Food Distribution SelfDetermination Demonstration Project. Through this pilot project, Oneida Nation and other tribes incorporate local, Indigenous foods into our food packages, providing our community with higher-quality options including bison, beef, and apples from Oneida Nation Farms, fish from Red Cliff Band of Lake Page 1 of 3 OBC Approved 03-25-2015 Public Packet Page 2 56 of 110 Business Committee Travel Report Superior Chippewa, and wild rice from Red Lake Nation in Minnesota. This project supports local producers, builds capacity of our regional Indigenous food systems, all while providing healthy foods to our communities. 2. The Tribal Delegation Meeting with the Indian Health Service. Oneida Nation held a tribal delegation meeting with Indian Health Service (IHS) Acting Director Ben Smith and IHS senior leadership. Chairman Hill, Treasurer Larry Barton, Councilwoman Jennifer Webster and I, along with the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division Executive Team discussed the Nation’s healthcare priorities, including protecting tribal healthcare programs and resources, increasing access to care, and support for preventative and longterm care. 3. Community Led Sovereignty Model Session. This session explored how communities can assert community led sovereignty to shape self-determined futures. In an aligned process, the community vision informs community goals. The data indicates the baseline in relation to the goals. One common misalignment is looking to external funders, who want to support positive outcomes but have their own priorities in data and programming. The presenters stressed the importance of maintaining a connection with community vision and community goals. They further explained how implementation actions including alignment to goals, identifying gaps, restructuring and reprioritizing, creating processes of reporting and accountability, new growth, new policy, new direction can have a direct impact of increased sovereignty, self-definition of priorities and strengths (versus need), accountability, trust building, leadership development, and restructuring of organizations into more culturally appropriate system. 4. Artificial Intelligence in Tribal Communities Session. This session focused on how tribal nations can safely use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to preserve native languages and protect their data. Native languages are endangered of becoming extinct. Newly developed Indigenous Voice AI Language systems allow for the creation of a fully fluent computer based on a native speaker. AI language models can translate all internet content and media into a Native language and enable Indigenous people to participate fully in their Native Language - dramatically increasing Native language usage. This use of technology for language preservation is controversial throughout Indian Country. The presenters also led discussion on why tribal nations need to focus on Cybercrime, Cybersecurity, Broadband connectivity, and Data Sovereignty. Strong Data Sovereignty ensures that tribal nations maintain the right to manage and govern their data according to their own laws and customs rather than controlled by federal, state governments, or private corporations.

There was an opportunity to meet the newly appointed Region 5 Administrator, Anne Vogel, and participate in discussions on how the Tribal Nations can partner and collaborate on environmental activities with the Tribal and International Affairs Staff from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). During this meeting, regional tribal leaders were introduced to the new 5 Pillars from EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative. During this session, RTOC members considered the 5 Pillars through a Great Lakes regional lens. The five Pillars are: • Pillar 1: Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American • Pillar 2: Restore American Energy Dominance • Pillar 3: Permitting Reform Cooperative Federalism, and Cross-Agency Partnership • Pillar 4: Make the United States the AI capital of the world • Pillar 5 Protecting and Bringing American Auto Jobs It was communicated that these efforts must include recognizing the unique challengers that Tribes face in protecting its resources, including lack of infrastructure, toxic and mining wastes, water contamination, and impacts to Tribal foods. Participating in these Region 5 Tribal Operations Committee (RTOC) Meetings Page 1 of 2 OBC Approved 03-25-2015 Public Packet Page 2 62 of 110 Business Committee Travel Report are imperative as it is the only pathway of communication between Tribal Nations and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Powless, General Manager Date: June 5, 2025 Re: Status Update: Veteran Gravestones The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update regarding the replacement of damaged veteran gravestones (gravestones provided by the Veterans Administration.) Background During the April 24, 2024, the following request was reviewed by the Oneida Business Committee during their Regular BC Meeting: Request Approximately 260 graves; all do not need to be cleaned and reset. Episcopal, Methodist, Church of Christ Cemetery (E&EE), and all other applicable cemeteries in Oneida. The Nation can apply/received money from Veteran’s Affairs & State to apply for to power wash and reset the headstones. Action BC to direct the appropriate departments such as Veterans, IGA, and Grants to research and find the funding to refurbish and reconstruct the headstones for the Civil War and WWI Veterans and to come back with an updated report to the October 9, 2024, BC meeting. A recommendation was brought forward at the October 9, 2024 Regular Meeting stating: Resetting/Replacing Veteran gravestones is recommended. Prior to any action being taken a 6month notice will be provided in the Kalihwisaks. The cost to install can be absorbed within existing budgets. Replacement will be accomplished during the summer/fall of 2025. Update BC Resolution 03-26-25-E, Fiscal Year 2025 Cost Savings Tools – Budget Contingency Tier 1 placed limitations on Nation spending. Included in the resolution is the following excerpt: Public Packet 3. In the context of an uncertain fiscal future at this time, management will review and restrict all discretionary spending to those expenses that are deemed necessary to maintaining operations. Expenses will not be restricted if doing so would result in further negative financial repercussions. Direct reports may implement additional review processes to govern their areas as they deem necessary to aid in restricting expenses. Replacement of Veteran gravestones is an important community project but has been paused at this time as part of cost savings efforts. Additionally, $5,000 has been included in the initial draft FY2026 budget for Veteran Services to pay for the setting of gravestones. This project will resume once the Nation is in a better fiscal position to do so. 85 of 110 Public Packet 86 of 110 General Manager 909 Packerland Dr. Green Bay, WI 54303 920-496-7000 To: Oneida Business Committee From: Mark W. Powless, General Manager Date: October 1, 2024 Re: Veteran Gravestones The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a response to a request from Tribal member, Nancy Barton, regarding Oneida Nation Veteran Gravestones. During the April 24, 2024, the following request was reviewed by the Oneida Business Committee during their Regular BC Meeting: Request Approximately 260 graves; all do not need to be cleaned and reset. Episcopal, Methodist, Church of Christ Cemetery (E&EE), and all other applicable cemeteries in Oneida. The Nation can apply/received money from Veteran’s Affairs & State to apply for to power wash and reset the headstones. Action BC to direct the appropriate departments such as Veterans, IGA, and Grants to research and find the funding to refurbish and reconstruct the headstones for the Civil War and WWI Veterans and to come back with an updated report to the October 9, 2024, BC meeting. Response Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oneida Veteran’s Department conducted an inventory of Veteran graves at local cemeteries. The following totals were recorded: Public Packet 87 of 110 Cleaning Per the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA): The goal of cleaning is to remove air pollution soiling, lichen, bird droppings, dirt, salts, and sap — it is NOT to make the headstone or marker look "like new." Improper or unnecessary cleaning can accelerate the deterioration of marble and granite; pre-1970s bronze was not sealed and will have a blue-green patina that will not be removed by cleaning. VA prohibits the general public from power washing Government-furnished headstones and markers due to the damage it may cause to historical headstones. Even gentle cleaning is not recommended for headstones and markers exhibiting severe surface erosion or cracks, especially older stones. (Source: https://www.cem.va.gov/hmm/cleaning.asp) Of particular note regarding Oneida Nation gravestones is the presence of many Civil War era gravestones dating back approximately 150 years. These gravestones exhibit varying levels of deterioration and cleaning may accelerate the deterioration. Of those gravestones the greatest need for cleaning are the oldest gravestones. A local vendor, as well as the VA recommend cleaning with D/2 Biological Solution. This chemical cleaner removes biological pollutants such as algae, mold, and lichen. The potential cost ranges between $10,000-$15,000. Attached is a Safety Data Sheet. Resetting/Replacing Up to 25 Veteran gravestones need resetting or replacement. An exact number is not known because: 1) Some names and grave information are currently unknown. Names on the gravestones have deteriorated beyond recognition and historical data is not available. 2) Notification to families of known gravestones will be required should some families not desire to have the grave site disturbed. 3) The Veteran may not have been registered in Wisconsin, thus limiting access to required VA paperwork. The VA will provide replacement gravestones, at no cost. The cost to install the gravestones will fall on the Nation. The cost estimate, depending on the work necessary to remove current installations and re-install, will range be [Text truncated at 120,000 characters.
