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.

Public Packet 16 of 84 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov 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.

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 through a resurgence of our cultures, identities and leadership.

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!

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.

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.

Public Packet 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. 80 of 84 Public Packet Appendix References: Anderson, B., Hughes, V.
