I have included for the record the large file which identifies the minutes, resolutions and

correspondence reviewed to develop this chart.

I have attached a resolution in recognition of these members in providing service to the Oneida

Nation during the earliest years of the Constitution of the Oneida Nation for consideration by the

If you have further questions, please contact me.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

proceed during a difficult time and for many years these officers were paid $2.00 per

efforts to be self-sufficient and boost their economies. Meeting topics agenda

RE:

Criminal Justice Coordinating Council

Governor Tony Evers has issued Executive Order 218 (attached) to recreate the Criminal Justice

Coordinating Council (CJCC). The mission is to promote and facilitate the implementation of

effective criminal justice policies and practices that maximize justice and the safety of the

public.

The CJCC will be attached to the Department of Justice, for the purpose of advising the

Governor on matters related to the administration and reform of Wisconsin’s criminal justice

system, and ordered that one of the council members be a representatives or a member of a

Tribal Nation.

Therefore, as Tribal Liaison to the Department of Justice, Intergovernmental Affairs is

recommending Vice Chairman Brandon Yellowbird Stevens to this Council and is respectfully

requesting Chairman Hill to write a letter of recommendation.
