Report submitted by:
Tamara VanSchyndel, Chair (Exp. 2017)
Beth Bashara, ONAP/CEC Director

Board Purpose Statement:
To provide guidance to the Oneida Nation Arts Program (ONAP) and to perform the responsibilities
granted to the Board under the Dollars for Arts Program policy. Specific responsibilities include, but are
not limited to the following: (a) work with ONAP Director and staff in an advisory capacity on issues
related to the arts in Oneida, (b) strive to provide guidance and recommendations in the development
of the ONAP and arts programs throughout the community, (c) receive reports of the ONAP activities
ONAP staff, (d) evaluate ONAP, and (e) approve policies and programs for the overall coordination and
administration of the ONAP.

Update from the Chair
In February, ONAB validated the current mission and brainstormed potential objectives for the year.
Additionally, the Music of Our Culture Board (MOC) was officially recognized as an ad hoc board of the
ONAB. A memorandum of agreement is being developed to document agreed upon expectations and
how the boards will work together.
In April, the ONAB and MOC Boards, joined by the Woodland Indian Arts Board (WIAB), participated in a
discussion facilitated by Anne Katz, the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Arts organization. The
discussion focused on possibilities and expectations for board relationships.
The ONAB is aware of potential reorganization of the ONAP, as well as the CEC, which the ONAP Director
currently oversees. It is the ONAB’s expectation they be notified and included in the dialogue and
approval of any reorganization that affects the areas of responsibility of the ONAP/CEC Director.

Oneida Nation Arts Program Update
Administrative Reports: Beth Bashara, Director; Christine Klimmek, Program Coordinator;
Sherrole Benton, Program Coordinator

Programming Reports
Grants: Bashara was awarded a $10,000 grant from the NEA for a 2017 Native song writing workshop.
The proposal brings prominent Native song writers to Oneida to compose and record for 5 days, with
the agreement that the songs may be arranged for choirs.
HRD: Bashara has worked with HRD to brainstorm better ways of hiring students (interns), classifying
them as “sub relief” rather than “emergency temp.” The change would allow for greater flexibility in the
length of time someone could work (ET – 3 months only) and maintaining a pool (SR is a pool position so
you can bring more people on if you need more people).
WAB Grant for the Fringe: Sherrole finished the program booklet from the Bead Conference in
September. It was very well received.
Classes: The basket making class is filled. Christine offered a second series of water color classes
because of the interest.
SEEDS: Artists are meeting with Kim Wurst from the CEC who is now managing the program. Kim is
working with artists to streamline and unify the marketing materials. We are excited to see the
additional changes.

10 Reasons to Invest in Wisconsin’s Creative Sector

From Arts Wisconsin at http://www.artswisconsin.org/actioncenter/facts-and-figures/10-reasons/

1. Arts promote true prosperity. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and
bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.
2. Arts mean business. The Creative Industries are arts businesses that range from nonprofit museums,
symphonies, and theaters to for-profit film, architecture, and design companies. A 2015 analysis of Dun &
Bradstreet data counts 9,985 businesses in Wisconsin involved in the creation or distribution of the arts that
employ 42,183 people—representing 3.2 percent of the state’s businesses and 1.4 percent of its employees.
3. Arts strengthen the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the arts and culture
sector is a $730 billion industry, representing 4.2% of the GDP ((Gross Domestic Project). The sector packs a
larger punch for the economy than tourism, transportation and agriculture.
4. Arts are good for local merchants. Attendees at Wisconsin’s nonprofit arts events spend $19.06 per
person, per event, beyond the cost of admission on items such as meals, parking, and babysitters. Nine percent
of the 9.4 million nonprofit arts attendees come from outside of Wisconsin. Those 806,000 attendees spend
nearly twice as much as residents ($33.02 vs. $17.73).
5. Arts drive tourism. Arts travelers are ideal tourists, staying longer and spending more to seek out authentic
cultural experiences. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that the percentage of international travelers
including museum visits on their trip has grown steadily since 2003 (18 to 28 percent). The share attending
concerts and theater performances has grown from 14 to 18 percent since 2003.
6. Arts are an export industry. U.S. exports of arts goods (e.g., movies, paintings, jewelry) grew to $75
billion in 2012, while imports were just $27 billion—a $47 billion arts trade surplus.
7. Arts spark creativity and innovation. The Conference Board reports that creativity is among the top 5
applied skills sought by business leaders—with 72 percent saying creativity is of high importance when hiring.
The biggest creativity indicator? A college arts degree. Their Ready to Innovate report concludes, “The arts—
music, creative writing, drawing, dance—provide skills sought by employers of the 3rd millennium.” Nobel
laureates in the sciences are 17 times more likely to be actively engaged in the arts than average scientists.
8. Arts have social impact. University of Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a high
concentration of the arts in a city leads to higher civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher child welfare,
and lower crime and poverty rates. The arts are used by the U.S. Military to promote troop force and family
readiness, resilience, retention and for the successful reintegration of veterans into family and community life.
9. Arts improve academic performance. Students with an education rich in the arts have higher GPAs and
standardized test scores, and lower drop-out rates—benefits reaped by students regardless of socio-economic
status. Students with 4 years of arts or music in high school average 100 points higher on the verbal and math
portions of their SATs than students with just one-half year of arts or music.
10. Arts improve healthcare. Nearly one-half of the nation’s healthcare institutions provide arts
programming for patients, families, and even staff. 78 percent deliver these programs because of their healing
benefits to patients—shorter hospital stays, better pain management, and less medication.

HIGHLIGHTS

D Dave Larson is currently the Interim Administrator for the AJRCCC .
U The Finance Coordinators have been doing an excellent job in submission and
recoupment of third party revenues for the facility and have made tremendous
progress in collections.

MONTHLY ACTIVITIES - January 2017
AJRCCC is nearing its capacity as far as census. On most days, AJRCCC has only 2-3
beds open and there continues to be a waiting list for long term care. With a limited
number of beds open, the revenue stream should remain constant but will not see any
major increase in the near future. Most of the patient charts have been converted to
electronic format, and electronic scanning of medications have been instituted in late
January.
MONTHLY ACTIVITIES - February 2017
The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act of 2014 went
into effect October 1, 2016 . It established a 2% withhold to SNF Part A payments that
can be partially earned back based on a SNF's re-hospitalization rate and level of
improvement. This includes hospital readmissions from the facility prior to discharge
and from home after discharge. This means that our Medicare PART A payments are
automatically reduced by 2%. If our readmission rates are not too high we get the 2%
back.
MONTHLY ACTIVITIES- March 2017
The State has received phase 1 of a grant from CMS for the Money Follows the Person
-Tribal Initiative. The WI Department of Health Services will be administering the grant
and each Tribe will receive $75,000. This funding is to help the Tribes build the
infrastructure to enable them to provide community based long term care services and
supports. We intend to use the grant for setting up the integrated case management
system and a personal care agency. Some of the funding will be available for training.
We are finalizing plans to have the Health Center Pharmacy provide the resident
medications for AJRCCC. This will result in significant cost savings compared to
contracting with an outside pharmacy for these services as we currently do.
The End.

Mutual Aid from other jurisdictions outside the reservation in time of need.
In Outagamie County, the Officers are deputized within the reservation boundaries- the Officers
are not able to respond outside ofthe boundaries of the reservation. We are only able to request
assistance from Outagamie County and if additional assistance is required, the Outagamie

County Sheriffs Department would have to make the request.
Since about 1985, Outagamie County Sheriff's Department has processed our citations- both
Traffic and Ordinance Violations and sent them onto the courts. We have been notified that
effective April1, 2017, they will no longer be doing this for us, or for Freedom Police, as they
have in the past. Freedom Police is similar to Oneida Police in that all their citations are
adjudicated in County Circuit Court. We have someone trained to handle this part of the court
process. It will add some responsibilities to our staff to provide the courts with the information
needed, but we are unsure what that all entails as of now.
At the Business Committee meeting on December 14, 2016, Melinda Danforth made the
following motion "that the Business Committee respectfully request the Chief of Police to do a
follow-up letter to tribal members that live in Outagamie County regarding the jurisdiction of the
Oneida Police Department and Outagamie County Sheriff's Department." The Oneida Police
Department has worked with Oneida Emollments, Oneida GIS, Outagamie County Sheriff,
Outagamie County GIS, and the Outagamie County Communications Center to accomplish this.
A draft letter was sent to the Outagamie County Sheriff to review and is cunently in the process
of finalizing to have the letter sent out.

POW-WOWS

We had our Honor the Youth Pow-wow on February 18,2017 at the Radisson in the three clan's
ballroom. This was a very large and successful pow-wow. We had 2 invited youth drums and
17 uninvited drums set up. We normally give out meal tickets for our dancers only, but because
we had so many di·ums this year we gave each drum 5 meal tickets because their drum split
payout was so low. We had 226 registered dancers where we paid the Junior and teen dancers
more than the nmmal rate because it was a youth pow-wow. (In 2016 we had 6 drums and 95
registered dancers.) We had a youth arena director along with an adult to leam the roles. Our
specials were geared towards our Jr. and Teen categories. We also had one special for our
adults. We had 21 craft vendors and 3 education vendors set up which is always good for our
customers and revenue line item. Overall the pow-wow was a huge success.

REQUESTS FROM OUR LAST QUARTERLY REPORT

JOSIAH POWLESS MEMORIAL: The ONVAC has made the
determination to place a Memorial Marker at the Oneida Community
Health Center in Honor of Dr. Josiah Powless, located within a "garden
and walk" area currently under design. The ONVAC is further pursuing
cost estimates for the development of the monument. The Memorial
Marker will be somewhat comparable with the Monument currently at
the Oneida Community Health Center in Honor of Dr. Minoka Hill. The
ONVAC is including the immediate family members (two
grandchildren) in the actual placement and wording to be placed upon
the Monument. Fund raising efforts will begin soon so the Memorial
can be designed, inscribed and installed.
Fu1ihermore, the ONVAC has begun the official request process to the
United States Congress for an up-grade of Dr. Powless' Distinguished
Service Cross to the Congressional Medal of Honor. This process may
take up to 5 years to be officially approved by the Congress.
LAND MANAGEMENT: ONVAC & Veterans Service Officer, Mr.
I(erry Metoxen are still working with Land Management regarding
transferring or allocating the Veterans Memorial site to the Veterans
Department. The Oneida Land Commission has approved this transfer
of land and the necessary paperwork is cuiTently being completed by the
Land Management staff.

Period: January, February, March 2017
Solar Deployment On Tribal Facilities, Michael Troge, Environmental Project
Manager
Michael Troge provided information of electrical use per building and OCHC electrical
diagram. He went over the latest project details per building. The Project Installation will
cost $2 Million. 1 Million is covered by a grant. The other 1 Million will be covered by an
investor\Partner. Tribe's Solar Bill will be $80,000.00 per year for 6 years. Estimated
Maintenance per year is $15,000.00 per year. Tribal Solar costs are $65,000.00 per year.
Installation price is $2,556.00 per Kilowatt. Ownership Shares will flip on Year 7 =Buyout
estimated cost is $100,000.00 for the Oneida Tribe to be full owner. Strategy equals solar
bill= utility bill. Agreements are still under negotiation. Oneida Nation and SunVest form a
partnership which is called the Oneida Nation Solar, LLC and has direct oversight of the
two partners. The Oneida Nation Solar, LLC may be dissolved after the Operating
Agreement has conclude (year 7). The Operating Agreement defines the relationship
between the two entities.
Hempstead Project Heart, Marcus Grignon
Marcus Grignon was here to provide an Educational Aspect for Hemp Production and Hemp
Products for all kinds of uses. There were textile materials, medicinal opportunities for pain
reduction, candy, socks, t shirts, shoes, clothing, Hemp Crete Bricks and insulation for
homes (resists mold, fire resistant, animal resistant), and paper products, etc. that can be
made of Hemp. Seeds can be used in Yogurt, salads, and other foods. It is now in Dr.
Braunor's Soap sold at Target, PikN Save, Festival Foods, and Woodman's Stores. Hemp
Oil can be used for Arthritis.
The first step is to talk and educate the community about the uses of Hemp. Call your State
Representatives, State Legislators, to recommend support for Hemp Production. Google
State Legislature Council for names of legislators to make contact with. State Legislators
need to craft current policy for the State of Wisconsin in order to allow Hemp Production in
the State of Wisconsin.
ONCOA Orientation
• The annual ONCOA orientation was held in February with the assistance of Wendel Holt
from the Great Lake Intertribal Council. Usually Elder Service staff participates to inform
ONCOA about the services that are offered. We will ask for them to meet with ONCOA at
a later date when the department is more settled from changes in management.
ONCOA Bylaw Review
• ONCOA is undertaking a thorough review of the bylaws. Terry Hetzel, Continuous
Improvement/Mediation Specialist, is assisting us in completing the analysis.
Nutrition Advisory Board
• ONCOA participates on this board which meets once a month.
• The Mealsite Nutrition Assessment was completed for the 2016-2018 plan assessment
period in order to review all items surrounding the functions of the nutrition programs

The report states that no sections of the assessment were out of compliance. Further the
reporter stated that Oneida Elder Services employs experienced, well-trained staff, which
acts with the Elders' best interests at all times. The staff put a lot of effort into making the
Nutrition Program a success and they really work well as a team.

hard work in continuing to serve the Elders with opportunities for healthy meals, quality
education, numerous socialization opportunities, and improved health.

Elder Tree

remain independent, living in their home as long as possible. Participants will be
provided an Ipad and WiFi access along with training to use the Ipad and Wifi service.
This project was developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
• Ten adult "Champions" from the Oneida community have been selected to be trained on
Elder Tree to help build a base of users in the community.
• ONCOA is collaborating with University of Wisconsin- Madison to develop a Baldwin
Grant which will provide access to computer/internet technology and the Elder Tree
Website for 25 elders who are members of the Oneida Nation in order to improve
communication; access to tribal information; establish a group of community Elder Tree
Coaches; and spread the Oneida Elder Tree experience to
