Board Purpose Statement:
To provide guidance to the 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, and (b)
strive to provide guidance and recommendations in the development of the ONAP and arts programs
throughout the community, and (c) receive reports of the ONAP activities and ONAP staff, and (d)
evaluate ONAP, (e) approve policies and programs for the overall coordination and administration of the
ONAP.

Update from the Chair
The Fall was an inspired learning time for the Oneida Nation Arts Board as we shook some of the dust
that had settled and new and standing members asked lots of questions. The Board spent our time
discussing and determining priorities as we set goals for consideration so that we can hone in on what
needs to be done in the upcoming year.
ONAB held a special meeting the same evening of the DAP Panel Review and allocated funds for DAP.
After much inspired discussion, ONAB decided to make DAP a focus in 2018. Board members have also
determined they would like to spend more time volunteering and have set intentions to participate in
more community arts events in the upcoming year.
We continue to struggle with attendance and have implemented an automated reminder service to
support in sharing info and meeting reminders with our members. We will be actively recruiting
members this year as a few members have either resigned or terms have or will soon be expiring.

Programming Reports
Dollars for Arts Program:​ A panel review of this year’s projects took place October, 17, 2017. Five people
applied for funding and all applicants presented: Betty Willems, Artists for Humanity, Green Bay Civic
Symphony, Wanda Anton, Louis Clark, III. A panel of three community members including Jean VanDyke,
Laura Laitinen, and Bill Vervoort, reviewed the applications. The panel scored the applications high. This
was the first year that requests were less than our total amount to award. Per ONAB approval of
allocations, each applicant will be funded the full amount requested.
Basket Guild:​ The basket guild has outgrown our space. They moved their materials to the Parish Hall.
We will continue to be a resource to the guild. We received a grant to help them with programming for
FY18. Sherrole is also planning on writing another grant for a final event that highlights Native basketry
in Wisconsin.
MOC​ – The summer camp was scheduled to be featured on Wisconsin Life airing on Wisconsin Public
Television. The MOC program was inserted between their other features that also included Oneida
artist, Mark Fisher.
SEEDS: ​FY18 had $22,910 to distribute. To date $15,712.50 has been allocated. There is $7,197.92
remaining. Program shuts down in April. We have funded 14 schools. There are 5 workshops that have
happened, reaching 2,101 children with a 100% satisfaction.

Inspiration
“When we use our bodies and voices to the best of our abilities, we are sovereign. No one can take this
from us just as no one can give it to us. Sovereignty is of our minds. When we understand and have the
freedom of expression, we are sovereign. When we are sovereign we are well.” – Sadie Buck

PERSONAL COMMENTSo

The Library staff has put together a stellar outline of this years events, with more to come, and
continues to work diligently to make both branches of the library a hub for community and family
activity. The B/C/C staff is working with the board to standardize B/C/C operations. I recently sent them
digital copies of minutes and agendas dating back to 2014 in regards to future website updates for
Boards. I have also spoken recently with Stephen Webster in Records Management about paper records
and filings the Board holds that date back to at least 2002. We may work together to digitize any
necessary historical records.

of involvement is also considered training.

PERSONAL COMMENTS - Bradley Graham, Chairman - OPC

This Commission has continued to review the proposed Employment Law (draft #21 ),
that is cunently at the Legislative Operating Committee (LOC). We have taken the
position that this new Law is not favorable to the employment base. This Commission
will continue to communicate our perspectives with G.T.C. With that being said, this
Commission requests that the Oneida Business Committee include the Oneida Personnel
Commission in the General Tribal Council meeting set aside to discuss the proposed
Employment Law. Although there have been numerous changes to each draft, one of the
issues that this Commission has is that the main area that contributed to the drafts of this
proposed law has been the Human Resource Depmiment.(HRD) The proposed law allows
21Page

24 of 149

HRD to make changes that ultimately affect HRD and provides enormous latitude in the
hiring process with checks and balances to be the responsibility ofHRD. Starting in FY
2017, this Commission has experienced problems with the process of working with the
Employee Protection Policy. Cooperation from departments in terms of investigations
and audits of employee protection disclosures has not been supported by the Internal
Audit Committee, which is comprised of various members of the Oneida Business
Committee and a community member. On December 11, 2017, this Commission met with
the Oneida Business Committee pertaining to issues and concerns regarding the
application of the Employee Protection Policy and the fact that the Audit Department will
not conduct audits/investigations. We were unable to resolvethose issues with the OBC.
This Commission had to engage services with API, an agency that specializes in
investigations. Due to API's high cost of investigations and the time they took to
complete the investigation, we plan to utilize otherresources regarding the disclosures
that are filed with the Oneida Personnel Commission. In the future quarterly repmis this
Commission will report inconsistencies in the application of policies and procedures
regarding hiring practices and grievance procedures this will include th~application of
the employee protection policy as it relates to HRD, this will include grievance matters

POW-WOWS
Three Sister's Pow-wow

We had our annual Three Sister's Pow-wow at the Radisson in the three clan's ballroom on
November 11,2017. The pow-wow was bit slower than normal. There was another pow-wow
in State of Wisconsin on the same day. We offered a drum split and had 7 drums show up which
is not a lot but is average for this pow wow. We had 119 registered dancers. We had 19 craft
vendors and 1 education vendor which is always good for our customers and our revenue line
item. The Three Sister's Pow-wow in 2016 had almost the same number of drums, dancers, and
vendors. Overall the pow-wow went well.
Flyer attached for Three Sister's.

The purpose ofthe Oneida Veterans Advisory Committee (ONVAC) is to serve as
an advisory body to the Oneida Veterans Service Office in all matters related to the Oneida Tribe
Veteran's rights and benefits and veterans affairs issues, and to protect the honor and integrity of
the Oneida Tribe and all veterans who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces. It
shall be the purpose of the ONVAC to provide advice and constructive input to the veterans
Service Office Director on all veterans' affairs and/or issues in order that the Office can
formulate veteran services and programs for the Oneida Veterans. ONVAC coordinates veteran
events with the assistance of the Veterans Service Office and other organized groups that are
representatives of Oneida Veterans and the Oneida Tribe.
Summary Points: 1st Quarterly Report: Oct 2017 thru December 2017
ONVAC is requesting to participate in the National Native American Memorial Dedication in
Washington DC in 2020. Per Business Committee member request, this item will be brought up
at every quarterly meeting for the purpose of notification that we (ONVAC) will be requesting
additional resources in our FY 2020 Budget request. We will obtain cost estimates for trip for
our nine member Committee and include them in our next Quarterly Report.
BUDGET: As of December 2017, ONVAC has spent approximately $1,293.00 which is in
compliance with our approved budget. Majority of our spending is in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
ONVAC member attended the requested budget meetings.
• ONVAC was represented at the 10-5-17 Budget meeting at Elderly Services.
• FY20 19 Budget- Per Treasurers request, ONVAC was represented at the Community
Informational meetings on September 28th at NHC, Business Committee Conference
Room, October 5th meeting at the Elderly Meal Site and the and October 6th at the
Radisson.

JOSIAH POWLESS MEMORIAL: The ONVAC has included the grandchildren of Dr. Powless
(Roy Huff and Betty Bins) in several meetings within which the proposed memorial has been
discussed.
John Breuninger is following up with 2-3 monument companies to get bids for a comparable
marker. Once the costs, location and proposed implementation are completed, the family will be
notified and invited back to our next ONVAC meeting for their input on the inscription. We are
also considering a very large "arrowhead shaped stone" which may be available at a reasonable
price and we wish to have this stone mounted within a designed Memorial Wall site with future
inscriptions/recognitions affixed upon the stone. ONVAC discussed this option very thoroughly
and decided to have the Veterans Service Officer (VSO) follow-up on the actual cost as well as
the associated movement and placement costs. In addition, we will have to decide on the type of
plaque(s) to be placed on the stone as well as those associated costs.
Finally, still working on the previous medal to upgrade to Medal of Honor for Dr. Josiah
Powless, this is a very timely process which may take approximately 5 years to complete. Kerry
Metoxen, VSO reported that the Application Process for the "upgrade" of the Dr. Powless Award
was submitted and the application was returned because it did not fall within the original
timeline. Therefore, Mr. Metoxen resent the application to start the process over. The request
went to the Records Retrieval storage area in St. Louis. Regarding the proposed "monument"
Mr. Breuninger will get a final bid from Mark Pasowicv and then we can start raising the
necessary funding for the monument. The family members will be invited to the next meeting to
discuss the location and the wording and picture to be placed on the memorial stone. The
ONVAC voted to locate the monument adjacent to the Memorial Wall and will finalize this
discussion with the family.
VETERAN SERVICE OFFICE: ONVAC continues to work with the VSO on the following
items:
1. The development and implementation of an Oneida Veteran Data Base. Our intent is to
get an accurate as possible listing of all of our Oneida Veterans. The Trust/Enrollment
Committee denied our request to add a box on the Per Capita forms. Therefore, ONVAC
& the Veterans department will be working on a mail out to all 18 years and older Tribal
members requesting their response of they individually and/or any household members
who may have served in any of the United States Armed Services and can prove so by
providing a DD-214 (discharge paper).
2. Assisting our Communities' Veterans and Veteran Organizations.
3. Continuous upgrading and maintenance on the Veteran's Memorial Site along HWY 54.
The ONVAC wishes to thank the Department ofPublic Works (DPW) and the Tourism
Department for their continued support with our efforts. We would also like to recognize
Mick Davister a non-Native Veteran who assists with maintaining the park site on a
voluntary basis.
4. Selling and acquiring and installation of"pavers" for Veterans at the Memorial Site. As
of 10-10-17 we have a total of279 pavers.
5. ONVAC continues to work with the VSO to have all Civil War headstones replaced at all
local cemeteries. This is a continuing process.
A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

ONCOA FY18 Q1 REPORT TO OBC
FEBRUARY 2018
Period: October November December 2017
COMMENTARY
Elder Services & ONCOA
• A professional working relationship continues to grow with Elijah Metoxen the current
Elder Service Program Manager. With the hiring of an assistance ES program Manager
and two administrative assistants, the administrative portion of Elder Service is taking
shape. More recently, we have met with Elijah Metoxen and a need to hire 6 employees
was discussed. We see a need to hire these individuals to meet the needs of the elder
community. Note: Oneida Enrollment Statistics show that the Oneida Elders in
Wisconsin have increased by 128% from 1999 to 2016.
• Elder Services management sent ONCOA a copy of the revised Elder Services
Organization Chart. We are still waiting for the Comprehensive Re-Organization Plan
for Elder Services from the Governmental Services Department Division Director (GSD
Director.) and the Elder Services Manager. This request dates back to October 2016.
There must be a plan which was generated from the revised Elder Services Organization
Chart. ONCOA requests the Oneida Business Committee to provide a copy of the
Comprehensive Re-Organization Plan for Elder Services to ONCO A.
Treasurer's Budget Planning- FY2019, FY2020, & FY2021
• Prior to the GTC meeting on the FY20 18 Budget, a community information session was
held. At October 8, 2017, GTC meeting the FY2018 budget was approved.
• On November 30, 2017, a Community Budget Information meeting occurred to gather input
on what the Oneida Citizens wanted to see in the FY2019 budget. An Executive Analysis
ofthe experience from the ONCOA group was submitted to the Treasurer and CFO. We
will begin work on a Triennial Budget in January 2018. It is expected that the ONCOA
budget will remain the same. The only variance will be the Treasurer's mandates such as
employment costs, indirect costs and fringe rate.
Elder Tree I
• ONCOA has been informed that the original Elder Tree I will not continue as the
proposed grant was not selected for funding. The !Pads which were returned to
ONCOA are now the property of ONCOA and we can return them to members of the
Elder Tree Project I. This will allow those elders to stay connected to various websites
they have been using.
Elder Tree II- January 2018
• This project is a new grant opportunity for elders. It is called Helping Older Patients
witlt Multiple Cltronic Conditions. It's a test of an updated Elder Tree system where
the focus is on older adults with poorer health and it has a "Clinician Report" which
connects Elder Tree II to their doctor's office. The doctor can be alerted to any
worsening health symptoms automatically by the Elder Tree II system.
• The plan is to see if elders with multiple chronic conditions will see improved quality of
life and health outcomes from using Elder Tree with the Clinician Report compared to
those who do not get Elder Tree with Clinician Report

ONCOA FY18 Q1 REPORT TO OBC
FEBRUARY 2018
Period: October November December 2017
•

Debra Danforth, OCHC Operations Director, is reviewing the proposal to determine if
the Oneida Health Center would like to participate.

Elder Village - Redesign of Phase II of ten Cottages
• Affordable and accessible housing for our elders is a priority need in our community.
To address this need, ONCOA played a major role in identifying the Elder Village
Concept as a neighborhood that would enhance "Quality of Life Principles" for elders.
The cottages are unique with materials, varied layout, and are in a park-like settings with
ample green space surrounding the homes. There is a trail connecting to other Oneida
areas like Site I, Turtle School, and eventually Site II. The Elder Village homes meet
the minimum ADA standards.
• A Project Team has been formed to redesign Phase II of the next ten cottages.
Representatives include the following areas: ONCOA, Oneida Housing Authority,
Senior Architect, Planning, and Solar Energy,
• The plan is to start over with the redesign instead of modifying the existing plan and to
take into account the best quality of life needs for the elder. There will be some minor
adjustments for the future cottages as well as considering smaller units to keep cost
down. Solar panels for future homes were discussed. The bedrooms and garages need
ADA clearance. We need to have a discussion about the total costs of the cottages. It's
not just about the design. For example, the bidding package could be broken down so
we get more potential contractors working at the same time.
• Status of December: With the delays of completing the architectural designs, it is
expected that the bids for construction will go out in early FY2018 and actual
construction will begin in Spring 2018.
Adult Day Services
• ONCOA has identified the need for Adult Day Services and garages for the Tribal Elder
Apartments. The Adult Day Service was deleted from the original ORCCC project and
slated for a future development CIP. These projects are related to the development of
the Lee McLester II Complex. ONCOA will be working with Elder Services to support
moving these projects forward.
• Status Adult Day Services: No movement on this project occurred during this quarter.
ONCOA will initiate meetings with the Planning Department in January 2018.
Tribal Elder Apartment Garages
• In February 2005 Elder Services started the plans for a capital improvement project
request for garages for tenants occupying the Elder Service apartments. Project
justification continues to be for health and safety issues. Because the existing building
is located on top of a hill, it can be extremely windy with harsh weather conditions.
Elders are especially susceptible to health problems caused by these conditions and it
can be very difficult for elders to get to and from their vehicles in inclement weather.

Period: October November December 2017
•

Status Apartment Garages: There has been little movement on this project during
Fiscal 2017. With the newly formed Comprehensive Housing Department effective
October 1, 2017, the team to manage the plan will most likely be changed. The FY2018
Tribal budget approved the CIP cost to build the garages and equipment garage.
ONCOA will continue to play a role in the on-going development of the project.

Alzheimer's Awareness and Research Initiative
• In December 2014, ONCOA connected with the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease
Research Center after meeting representatives at the Annual Wisconsin Alzheimer's
Conference. The UW-Madison's Alzheimer Disease Research Center is one of the
Nation's leading research centers providing scientific research, resources, and expertise
in Alzheimer's Disease and related illnesses. ONCOA supports Oneida Tribal Members
to expand their awareness of Alzheimer's Disease and other Dementias and to
participate in the national effort to end Alzheimer's.
• In May 2015, Dr. Dorothy Farrar-Edwards, Dr. Carey Gleason, Fabu Carter and Carol
Hutchinson from the University of Wisconsin School ofMedicine and Public Health
Alzheimer's disease Research Center (ADRC) met with Oneida Elders and others at the
mealsite to provide Alzheimer's Disease information.
• ONCOA held a meeting with Dr. Dorothy Edwards and Dr. Carey Gleason to discuss
the potential collaboration between Oneida and UW-Madison's Alzheimer's Disease
Research Center. Potential areas of collaboration are Training Dementia Care Specialist;
Community Education; Promoting Timely Recognition of Memory Disorders;
Connecting to Oneida Health Center and Anna John Resident Centered Care
Community. The Green Bay Area has a large native population and would be ideal for a
satellite center for a UW-Madison Alzheimer's Resource Center.
• Alzheimer's Clinical Trials-- ONCOA continues to work on encouraging tribal
members to become participants in Alzheimer's Clinic Trials. There is very little
information on Native Americans that would indicate how prevalent the disease is in
Indian country. We can fight this disease by becoming research volunteers who provide
critical data needed to move science forward. Several Oneida volunteers have already
signed up and are encouraging others to participate.
Status: Staff from OW-Madison Research team met in Oneida to discuss future planning. The·
Oneida Health center continues to work with the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute, University of
Wisconsin to create an Alzheimer/Dementia Diagnostic Clinic within the Oneida Community
Health Center. ONCOA will work on developing an Alzheimer's Community Awareness
Education Plan with the representatives from the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute. ONCOA is
now part of the Wisconsin ADRC Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia's (ADRD)
Project. This group was formed in December 2017.

Long Term Care Group
• A Long Term Care (LTC) group consisting of representatives from Oneida Health Center,
Governmental Services, and ONCOA has been formed to develop a strategic LTC-Services and
Supports plan for Oneida. Out of this larger group a core team has been formed.
• Lately the core team (Health Center, GSD, Elder Services, ONCOA, Law) have been meeting to
work on the Tribal Only Waiver. The Tribally operated Medicaid (low income) Home and
Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver is an option for Wisconsin American Indian Tribes

•

to provide long term supports for adults with long-term care needs in Wisconsin. This waiver is
important because it aligns administration with the unique authorities of Tribal Governments,
and assures that services will meet the long term care needs of tribal members.
During the past months the waiver plan was changed to Tribally Operated Waiver. It is expected
that solutions will be developed to narrow the health care gap in critical risk areas experienced
disproportionately among American Indians.
Status: The Tribal Long Term Care Study Group, consisting of State and Tribal
Representatives, continues to work with CMS to get the Tribal Waiver approved. As of the date
of this report, no resolve has been reached with CMS regarding the Tribal Waiver Category
approved for Wisconsin.

Money Follows the Person (MFP) Tribal Initiative
• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is offering states and tribes between $850,000
and $1.93 million in grant funding in order to build sustainable community-based Long Term
Services and supp()rts specifically for Tribal Members. Wisconsin must have an active
partnership with the participating tribes or tribal organizations in order to be eligible for the
grant.
• The project Oneida has selected to develop is a Tribal Personal Care Agency along with
needed infrastructure to deliver Long Term Care services to Oneida Tribal Members. Having a
Personal Care Agency will allow Elder Services and Oneida Health Center to obtain Third
Party Billing Payments through Medicaid for In-Home Care and Home Chore Services.
Currently, Oneida provides In-Home Care and Home Chore Services that are paid through
Tribal Contribution.
• ONCOA supports having a personal care agency to help defray Tribal Contribution costs for
elder related services. The reimbursement will come from those services provided to clients who
meet low income eligibility (Medicaid).
• Status: David Larson, OCHC Ancillary Services Director, is the main person in charge of this
grant for Oneida. ONCOA received notice from Ashley Hesse, DHS representative, that in late
March the DHS Tribal Affairs Office released the MFPTI Phase lli solicitation to all tribes.
This opportunity can provide up to $75,000 to support development or enhancement of Home
and Community Based Services (HCBS) Programs provided by tribes. Ashley Hesse is
available to meet with us to discuss the MFPTI grant or provide technical assistance to aid in the
development of our designated project---a Personal Care Agency. Dave Larson met with
ONCOA and stated that we will continue work on the Personal Care Agency and will be able to
utilize the Phase III funding for needed education and training.
Great Lakes Native American Elders Association (GLNAEA)
• GLNAEA meetings are held quarterly and membership is comprised of elders from the eleven
tribes in Wisconsin. Each tribe takes a turn at sponsoring a meeting on their reservation. Tribal
news and current issues in Indian country are discussed at the meetings. Social interaction
Between the tribes is an important aspect of the association that keeps members participating in
the meetings.
Wisconsin Tribal Aging Directors Association
• ONCOA Members participate in bi-monthly meetings. All eleven tribes belong to this
association and meet to discuss Aging Issues in Indian Country and to formulate ways to best
meet the needs of our Native Elders. This is a very informative meeting.
• This is a collaborative relationship that ONCOA has maintained with Elders Services and the
other tribes since the inception of the organization.

Period: October November December 2017
Elder Service Staff Meetings
• Elder Service Staff Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month. ONCOA is
pleased to announce that we are invited to attend these meetings.
Title V- Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
• SCSEP is Elder job training funded through a grant from the U.S. Dept. of Labor.
• ONCOA has employed Title V staff for the past 8 years and we have always had great
success working with the Title V program. Since our budget is limited we seek out
resources to assist us in meeting our administrative needs.
• Status: We have one applicant who is going through the approval process with the
·Title V Program through the National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA).
Meeting Requirements
ONCOA meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. in the Elder
Services, Conference Room. Special Meetings are held during the month to address specific
topics related to the goals and objectives of ON COA. Meetings are open and community
members are encouraged to attend. Dates and times of meetings are published in the
DRUMS and Kaliwisaks publications.
GOALS
GOAL I

UPDATES
The Oneida Nation School System's first semester I second qumier ended on January 16, 2018. The K-5
student enrollment is 214, middle school is 85, and high school is 124 for a total of 423 students.
The School Board met throughout 2017 to review and update the Education Law (Code), which was
submitted to the LOC years ago. The Board continues to utilize the School Board Attomey to ensure
that the content of the document is in its legal form and cunent. Substantial changes have been made to
organize and separate the content into Laws and Policies. This Law will help give better direction and
unity to our community in regards to education from bilih to grave. Areas containing educational goals
will be able to better collaborate with each other to increase suppmi, guidance, and educational
oppmiunities for our members.
On August 31 and September 1, 2017, the School Board had a two-day school board training conducted
by a B.I.E. representative for our region. This training was well attended not only by members of the
Oneida Nation School Board, but also by the Menominee Tribe School Board. It was very informative
1

82 of 149
and gave beneficial insight to various topics needed to be a better and successful school board. The next
follow up meeting with the B.I.E. representative will hopefully occur in February 2018, depending upon
the representative' s schedule; frequent contact is being made to get a meeting date scheduled.
The annual School Board Policies and Procedures review and update is also near completion. As
various topics arose throughout 2017, the Anti-Bullying Policies, Code of Ethics, Pardon and
Forgiveness Law are also in the plan to be reviewed and discussed. Lastly, in addition to the above
mentioned topics, a succession plan will also be discussed to address future staffing as well as the
recently approved Organization Chart which includes the Language Department.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
With the transition of the Language Depmiment to the School System, our students will continue to
increase their knowledge of Oneida language and culture, as they attend language I culture and social
dance classes as pa1i of their daily education. The three year A.N.A. Grant awarded to the Language
Depmiment has been beneficial as six Language Apprentice positions were able to be filled, as well as
other resources and tools to help make this program successful. These staff will continue to be in
training to learn more about the language, how to speak, and how to teach others. This new transition
will be beneficial for students, their families, and the community.
The completion and submission of the Education Law continues to be a goal for 2018. This Law is
foreseen to include many areas of education, including the teaching and learning of the Oneida
Language and Culture. There is a dire need to have all areas of education collaborate with each other to
promote awareness and suppmi to increase community members' self-sufficiency within our Nation.
Lastly, maintaining the safety of our staff and students remain on the 2018 list of goals. Staff and
students will continue to practice the A.L.I.C.E. training. School Administration will continue their
effmis of ensuring that both the elementary school and high school are in safe operating conditions.

MEETING REQUIREMENTS
The Oneida Nation School Board holds open meetings the first Monday of every month at 5:00 p.m. in
the library at the Elementary School. Special meetings are held when deemed necessary and duly called
by the School Board Chair.
