BC Resolution # ___________

Action by Oneida Nation as Owner of Corporate Shares

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe

recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,

of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has created corporate entities under its constitutional

authority, authorized corporate entities to be created under state laws, and has purchased

interests in business entities through the purchase of shares for financial investment

purposes; and

WHEREAS,

action as a shareholder in corporations purchased for financial investment purposes is

generally managed through the Finance Office or the Trust Enrollment Committee as the

fiduciary trustee of the Oneida Nation or the owner of the invested funds, for example, elder

per capita funds; and

WHEREAS,

action as a shareholder in corporations created by the Oneida Business Committee or

authorized to be created under state law is generally conducted by the Oneida Business

Committee on behalf of the Oneida Nation, the shareholder in the corporation; and

WHEREAS,

historically that action has been through approval of proxies at Oneida Business Committee

meetings presented at shareholder meetings, or by the presence of Oneida Business

Committee members at a shareholder meeting without clarification of whether this required

a quorum of the Oneida Business Committee; and

WHEREAS,

corporate entities created by the Oneida Business Committee or authorized to be created

under state laws require a consistent understanding of who represents the owner of the

shares, the Oneida Nation, and how action can be taken; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has determined that it is inappropriate to include direction

regarding how the shareholder, Oneida Nation, is represented in every corporate creation

document as that action may lead to inconsistency and confusion between corporations

and over time; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has determined that a shareholder meeting is not a

meeting of the Oneida Business Committee and is governed by the corporate documents

(whether charters, by-laws, articles of incorporation, other types of documents) and as such

Public Packet

BC Resolution # 09-26-18-B

Action by Oneida Nation as Owner of Corporate Shares

Page 2 of 2

the authority of the Oneida Business Committee should be clearly identified for purposes

of authorizing actions of the corporate entity; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Oneida Nation is the shareholder in corporate entities created

by the Oneida Business Committee through its delegated constitutional authority or a corporate entity

authorized by the Oneida Business Committee to be created under state laws and the Oneida Business

Committee acts on behalf of the Oneida Nation with respect to the Oneida Nation’s rights and

responsibilities as a shareholder in such corporate entities.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Oneida Business Committee, meeting at a corporate shareholder

meeting, is not meeting as the Oneida Business Committee and the meeting shall be governed by the rules

of the corporate entity.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Oneida Business Committee shall identify, by motion of the Oneida

Business Committee at a regular, special or emergency meeting, or by e-poll, one of the following three

methods of appearing and acting on behalf of the Oneida Nation, the shareholder.

1. Appointment of a liaison(s) acting according to specific written proxy authority.

2. Identification of three or more Oneida Business Committee members who shall act independently,

according to their knowledge, skills and abilities on behalf of the Oneida Nation and the majority

vote of the Oneida Business Committee members present shall govern the vote(s) cast on behalf

of the shareholder.

3. Identification that the Oneida Business Committee members appearing shall act by consensus in

determining how the vote(s) will be cast on behalf of the shareholder.

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Business Committee Support Office (BCSO) shall receive all notices of

shareholder meetings of a corporate entity governed by the resolution and shall place the notice on an

agenda of the Oneida Business Committee in a timely manner. Upon action by the Oneida Business

Committee choosing one of the three methods of casting shareholder vote(s), the BCSO shall draft

correspondence to the corporate entity which identifies the motion and voting methodology chosen by the

Oneida Business Committee for signature by the Nation’s Secretary.

Statement of Effect

Action by Oneida Nation as Owner of Corporate Shares

Summary

The resolution identifies how the Oneida Business Committee will appear and act on behalf of the

Oneida Nation, a shareholder in corporate entities, at corporate meetings.

Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: October 04, 2018

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

This resolution states that the Oneida Nation is the shareholder in corporate entities that are created

by the Oneida Business Committee either through its delegated constitutional authority or created

under state laws. The Oneida Business Committee acts on behalf of the Nation with respect to the

Nation’s rights and responsibilities as a shareholder in such corporate entities. The resolution

clarifies that the Oneida Business Committee meeting at a corporate shareholder meeting is not

considered a meeting of the Oneida Business Committee, so it is governed by the rules of the

corporate entity.

The Business Committee Support office is delegated the authority to receive all notices of

shareholder meetings of a corporate entity governed by the resolution and will be responsible for

placing the notice on an agenda of a Oneida Business Committee meeting in a timely manner. The

resolution then provides three methods by which the Oneida Business Committee may appear and

act on behalf of the Nation as shareholder. The Oneida Business Committee shall choose a method

of representation by motion at a regular, special, or emergency meeting, or by e-poll. Once the

Oneida Business Committee chooses a method of casting a shareholder vote on behalf of the

Nation. the Business Committee Support Office shall draft correspondence to the corporate entity

which identifies the motion and voting methodology chosen by the Oneida Business Committee,

and obtain the signature of the Nation’s Secretary.

There are currently no laws or policies of the Nation governing corporations.

Conclusion

Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Los Angeles to recognize Indigenous Peoples Day in place of Columbus Day to

honor the resilience of Indigenous people in Los Angeles, the State of California,

Whereas,

the legacy of 'Columbus Day' has created a national narrative that has erased the

existence and global contributions of the Indigenous Peoples ofNorth and South

America and the Caribbean.

Whereas,

the City of Los Angeles, whose original name is Yangna, is the traditional

territory of the Gabrileiio-Tongva Nation, who continue to have a strong presence

through their cultural resilience.

Whereas,

Oneida Nation urges a call to action to recognize the sovereignty of all Indigenous

Peoples, in order to empower and uplift our communities that have been

mistreated and written out of history.

Whereas,

Indigenous Peoples have demonstrated immense strength throughout the world

not just because our survival through colonization and efforts to erase us, but

Chairman Ernie Stevens

National Indian Gaming Association

224 Second Street Southeast

Washington, DC 20003

Dear Chairman Stevens,

It is an honor and pleasure .to announce the first celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day in

our great city!

We would like to personally invite you to participate and support this historic event on

Monday, October 8, 2018, 7AM-7PM, at Los Angeles Civic Center, including public

spaces at City Hall and throughout Grand Park. Festivities and programming include a

Sunrise Ceremony, 5K Run, Grand Procession & Kick-Off, Panel Discussions, Music &

Entertainment, Children's Area, Fashion Show and a Special Grand Finale.

The movement to establish Indigenous Peoples Day in Los Angeles was a two-year process

that began on November 13, 2015. Working with the community, as well as many scholars

and allies, a consensus was reached to eliminate Columbus Day from the Los Angeles City

administrative code and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day as an official City holiday.

Many Native Americans have celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday of

October since at least 1970 - as a day of remembrance for our ancestors, while dispelling

the myth that Columbus 11 discovered" 'America, and to celebrate our survival, resilience, and

deep contributions to all peoples that now live on this land.

We look forward to seeing you on this special day in October!

RE:

Columbus Statue located in Grand Park

On Monday, June 25, 2018 Arts Commissioners approved relocation of the

Columbus statue from Its current location in Grand Park to St. Peter's

Church, located at 1039 N. Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90012. The Church

has a historical connection to the statue as it facilitated the statue's original

donation to the County on behalf of the Sons of Italy, a close affiliate of the

Church. The statue will be placed on an indefinite loan. Plans are for the

statue to be relocated prior to the first official city and county celebration of

Indigenous Peoples Day, taking place on October 8, 2018 in Grand Park.

Commissioners discussed relocation of the Columbus statue within a

framework that recognizes Indigenous Peoples' perspectives,

representations of historical accuracy, and the County's Civic Art collection

policies and procedures. Commissioners also offered strong suppqrt for the

developr:nent of educational programming to honor cross-cultural dialogue.

The Arts Commission staff looks forward to working with the Commission on

Human Relations, Grand Park, the Native American Indian Commission, and

the Office of City of Los Angeles Counoilmember Mitch O'Farrell to develop

educational opportunities that recognize Indigenous Peoples.

Describe the purpose, background/history, and action requested:

Purpose: To get retro approval from the Business Committee to approve a research request from the University

of Cambridge. Student, George Boughton, requested to speak with a representative from the Oneida Nation for

the purpose of researching Oneida's history with the Green Bay Packer organization.

Background: A request and letter of support was received (see attached) from Dr. Francesca Moore, from the

Subject:

Dear Tribal Secretary of the Oneida,

I am writing to you today as a student from the University of Cambridge, England. As part of my

final year studies I am carrying out a research project into the Green Bay Packers and their large

community of fans here in Green Bay and Wisconsin. I have been fascinated by the past of the

team and their roots with Earl “Curly” Lambeau and how they have such a special relationship

with their fans and all members of the community. I am contacting you because I would love to

find out more about the Oneida’s relationship with the Green Bay Packers as it would really

relevant for my project. I was wondering if I would be able to meet and hold a short interview

with a member of your staff or attend an event or anything else you see fit.

I am in Green Bay until the 21st of September before I fly back to the UK so I am able to meet at

any time until this date. I really look forward to hearing back from you. I have attached a

supporting letter from my director of studies as well as an overview of my dissertation if this

interests you. Thank you,

Yours sincerely,

George Boughton

Everyday Citizenships, leisure time and Sport: A Case Study of the Green Bay Packers

Context:

The idea and study of citizenship has developed from T.H Marshall’s work, with

citizenship progressing from a focus on civil rights and their acquisition to

encompassing political and social rights (Marshall, 1950). Whilst providing

foundations, this work is not entirely satisfactory. Scholars including Staeheli and

Cope (1994) and Valentine and Skelton (2007) have criticised this work, arguing that

there exists a differentiation between legal rights (De Jure) and the actual realisation

and impediments in enacting this citizenship in society (De Facto). Whilst this

differentiation is maintained, physical space is still fundamental as much of the

exclusion occurs spatially (Desforges et al., 2005). The strand of De facto and De Jure

citizenship has drawn particular input from feminist geographers such as Lister

(1997); Pateman (1988); Staeheli and Cope (1994, 444), as women experience

oppression and exclusion in higher levels than those experienced by the majority of

male citizens. Research into this area, through the lens of De Jure and De Facto, has

shown that citizenship is more complex than formal rights and their acquisition

(Holston, 2008). Expanding on this idea, a new area of citizenship research, which I

aim to contribute to, has transitioned from the “de jure/de facto binary” (Moore,

2016, p.150) to explore how citizenship is practised and experienced by members of

the population every day. (Lefebvre, 1991) describes the everyday as a ‘fertile soil’

(P.87) from which people grow and develop their identity and citizenship. This

increased focus on the mundane routine and repetitive aspects of social life that are

pervasive and yet frequently overlooked enables citizenship to operate over more

scales, not just at the national level (Hopkins and Blackwood, 2011). Everyday

citizenship is thus citizenship which is not defined solely by state given rights but

instead by these everyday acts (McEwan, 2000). Research into the everyday is still in

its early stages and lacks empirical examples to support the existing literature. There

is a need for research to move ‘out of the laboratory to explore the everyday

interactions that citizenship research increasingly directs us to’ (Hopkins and

Blackwood, 2011, p.218).

Topic:

My study situated in Green Bay. Wi , will offer a new avenue on everyday citizenship

studies. It will focus upon citizenship in the context of leisure, an area which lacks

research and literature in citizenship studies. I will further focus my research into the

leisure activity of sport, in particular American football. A sport where a game

attracts over 130 million TV viewers, the most watched sporting event ever in

America (Sports media watch, "NFL Ratings 2017 Compared to Last Year,” n.d.).

Using fans of the Green Bay Packers football team, I hope to explore how Packers

fans follow their sport and express their citizenship. I will identify the everyday acts

which build community in this new, exciting research field. In order to provide

balance, I will consider any exclusionary forces which exist within the Green Bay

community and if any ‘others’ are created to construct this community (Anderson

and Hughes, 2015). As well as research in the field site of Green Bay, as an example

where citizenship is enacted in a physical space, I hope to expand on the work of

Anderson (2006) with respect to imagined communities. I hope to explore how

79 of 84

Public Packet

citizenship to Green Bay transcends space, and how it becomes transnational

through online communities as football is a global sport. My research will contribute

more literature into this field of imagined communities, with particular reference to

the internet and how the fan base of Green Bay, a community with over 2.1 million

twitter followers and over 5.4 million Facebook likes, exists and operates. This

number clearly dwarfs the mere 105,000 people who inhabit the city (“U.S. Census

Bureau QuickFacts,” n.d.) and it will add value to investigate how citizenship

identities and enactments vary or stay the same with regards to this virtual and

physical community.

Research Questions:

1. What role does leisure and more importantly sport play in everyday

enactments of citizenship?

2. How do fans of Green Bay express their citizenship on an everyday scale?

3. Does this expression of citizenship differ from the expressions of citizenship

by people from the larger virtual Green Bay community?

Methods:

In Green Bay I intend to carry out 15 semi-structured interviews with different

members of the Green Bay community. I hope to interview members of the

organisation, especially their community department, and fans and local media

workers in order to get a representative sample. Using interviews is the best way to

get the detailed accounts of personal experiences which are so key to understanding

individuals (Clifford et al., 2016)). From speaking to members of Green Bay, I also

hope to collect information relating to the collective Green Bay community. The data

from these interviews will be audio recorded and then transcribed with permission.

The data can then be coded in order to highlight themes. All data will be stored on

my password secure laptop and I will ensure all participants have the option to

withdraw their data at any time. All interviewee names will be changed and I will

avoid using any personally identifying information. I hope to participate in multiple

events in Green Bay to better understand how Green Bay fans express their

citizenship. I will obtain verbal consent from anyone I speak to and record data from.

As it is a public setting, there are fewer ethical considerations to consider when

carrying out this participant observation as I am not covert and will clearly be

conducting research (DeWalt and DeWalt, 2010); (Jorgensen, 2015). A new research

method which I wish to provide more literature towards is online and internet

research (Hine, 2000). I hope to carry out an online survey with members of the

Green Bay community across the world. I will consult the online research literature

of Slater (2002) and (Madge, 2007) in order to make sure this survey conforms to all

ethical considerations.
