For the record: Councilwoman Marie Cornelius stated, I’m happy to have worked with all of the BC and

have gained so much knowledge in the past three years. I want to extend my gratitude to you all for

your demanding work and dedication to our great Nation. I know working through a historical worldwide

pandemic has not come easy. Together we had many successes and plenty of strain and I would like

to extend some thoughts and encouragement to you all and to future councilmembers. Please continue

to remain strong, resilient against lateral oppression and be emotionally unavailable to tactics

attempting to derail your goals as an individual and as a councilmember. Lateral oppression is very

real here in the Nation. Oppressors will do everything in their power to dull your shine and it can cause

the most distressing environment at times. So with these thoughts in mind, I do find it necessary to

depart my elected seat early, gain some skana, and prepare for my future. I’m excited and incredibly

happy to return to a less public life and eager to have some normalcy in my family life and in my

career. Therefore, as stated in the handout today, my last day in the office will be June 2nd. I would like

to also provide, you know, my phone number if anyone has any questions 920-869-4475 to please

contact me. Yaw^ko

Re:

Resolution - “2023 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside”

______________________________________________________________________________

Good day,

The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the Aging and Disability department to apply for

this grant on behalf of the Oneida Nation. The problem of Elders abuse is a serious and

frequently hidden problem with Elders being unable to resist or defend themselves from it or

their families in some cases being aware of it.

The purpose of this grant is to educate the community about Elder abuse, causes and ways to

deal with it and to provide education and support services to Elders being subjected to abuse.

The grant will provide the Oneida Nation with $311,785 to provide services and education over

the course of a two-year project. It will do so without a match requirement.

The grant requires a BC resolution authorizing the Aging and Disability department to apply for

the grant on behalf of the Oneida Nation.

Thank you

Background:

At the February 14, 2023, BC work session a draft resolution

regarding the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer in the

absence of the Treasurer was presented for feedback and comment.

Comments received that indicated:

1. The proposed resolution should include “effective

by/on/when” so it could be adopted prior to the expiration of

the Public Health State of Emergency and go into effect when

it expires.

2. The proposed resolution should include a general resolve that

makes this change effective any time the Treasurer is absent.

Page 1 of 2

Public Packet

The changes associated with these comments were made and the

 Additional resolve to conform with other personnel related

resolutions such as BC- 02-08-23-C

 The Public Health State of Emergency expired at 11:59 p.m. on

generalized.

These changes are attached and labeled “Changes since SOE was

requested”. The final version attached and labeled “Final for

of the Chief Financial Officer and Accounting Offices from the General Manager to the Treasurer.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Oneida Business Committee addressed the supervision of the

Chief Financial Officer through resolution BC-08-12-20-I, Supervision of the Chief Financial

Officer, which on an emergency basis, during the term of the public health state of emergency or

six (6) months, or any Tier V budget restrictions, whichever is longer, directed that the Chief

Financial Officer report to the Officers, as defined in resolution BC-08-12-20-A, Setting

Supervision and Management of Direct Reports to the Oneida Business Committee (as amended

from time-to-time). The Oneida Business Committee has since adopted resolution BC-03-08-23A, Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until May 11, 2023, which

identifies that the Nation’s declaration of Public Health State of Emergency will officially end at

11:59 p.m. on May 11, 2023.

Treasurer Cristina Danforth has been on a leave of absence since August of 2022 and has not

identified a return date. The Secretary has been serving in the absence of the Treasurer to manage

daily activities. In the absence of resolution BC-08-12-20-I governing the supervision of the Chief

Financial Officer, the Oneida Business Committee determined that supervision of the Chief

Financial Officer should be identified due to the conclusion of the Oneida Nation’s declaration of

Public Health State of Emergency and the continued absence of the Treasurer.

Through the adoption of this resolution, the Oneida Business Committee approves the entire

Oneida Business Committee as supervisor of the Chief Financial Officer in the absence of the

Treasurer. This resolution goes into effect on May 12, 2023.

Conclusion

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

Statement of Effect

Disparities in Delivery Method Study Recruitment

Summary

The resolution seeks approval to allow University of Wisconsin affiliated team members and

community partners to recruit participants for the research project through the use of interviews

over the phone that involves understanding Disparities in Delivery Method as it affects the Oneida

Nation.

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

Date: February 7, 2023

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

In 2019, the Oneida Business Committee (“OBC”) adopted resolution BC-05-08-19-A titled,

Research Requests: Review and Approval to Conduct, which sets forth certain requirements to be

met when seeking approval to conduct research that involves the Oneida Nation and its members.

Resolution BC-05-08-19-A was adopted in response to an increase in the number of research

projects involving the Nation or its members that was being conducted. Its purpose is to ensure

that, with any research project approved by the Nation: (1) Oneida members, the Nation and the

community are protected; (2) the information developed is provided to the Nation; and (3) the

research accurately portrays the complex history and current activities of the Nation and its

members.

Resolution BC-05-08-19-A provides a specific process for consideration of research requests by

educational institutions or businesses that would require access to the Nation or its members for

research studies of human subjects. The process includes that:

x The request be presented to the Director of Comprehensive Health Operations (“Director”)

for review and recommendation for action to the OBC;

x The entity conducting the research be required to submit a copy of the final draft of the

research to the Director to review for accuracy; and

x The entity conducting the research be required to submit a copy of the published or

approved research project to the Director to be presented to the OBC as a final published

or approved research project.

Resolution BC-05-08-19-A further provides that no entity, employee or representative of the

Nation is authorized to approve research on behalf of the Nation unless done so in accordance with

the resolution or a law which supersedes the resolution. In addition, it provides that no research

project date or materials shall be utilized for any other or for extended research without written

approval of the Nation. Currently, there is no law of the Nation that addresses the research projects

discussed herein; thus, Resolution BC-05-08-19-A governs the analysis of this resolution.

47 of 193

This resolution seeks approval to allow the University of Wisconsin affiliated team members and

community partners to recruit participants for the research project through the use of interviews

over the phone, optionally recorded, that involves understanding Disparities in Delivery Method

as it affects Oneida Nation, specifically, prenatal counseling and delivery method choices to better

understand community utilization of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) and Repeat Cesarean

section (RCS), which may create differences in long term maternal morbidity. This resolution

provides that data collected from Oneida Nation Tribal members will be held in secure, password

protected databases at the University of Wisconsin and will bd thoroughly de-identified; however,

this coded data will only be accessed and analyzed by research teams whose proposals are

reviewed and approved by the University of Wisconsin Institutional Review Board, and any data

collection will be subject to review by representatives of the Oneida Nation upon request. Oneida

Nation and individual participants are allowed to rescind approval at any time and can ask that

data be removed from databases and destroyed. Any papers or studies from this research shall be

presented to the Oneida Business Committee before distribution to other forums. This resolution

provides that the University of Wisconsin recognized the Oneida Nation’s position as protector

and owner of the information collected as part of this study and that the final disposition of the

information collected will be used, stored, and destroyed at their discretion.

This resolution does not provide any information on whether the research request has been

presented, reviewed and recommended for approval by the Director of Comprehensive Health

Operations per the requirements of resolution BC-05-08-19-A. In addition, this resolution does not

provide any information on whether the University of Wisconsin has agreed to abide by the

resolution BC-05-08-19-A’s criteria for research projects that are conducted by educational

institutions such as the University of Wisconsin.

Conclusion

It is unknown whether this resolution complies with the requirements for the review and approval

of requests to conduct research as provided for in resolution BC-05-08-19-A, Research Requests:

Review and Approval to Conduct.

Disparities in Delivery Method for American Indians in Brown County, WI – IRB Application

What is the overall purpose and aim of this project or study?

The goal of this project is to represent community voices of Oneida women to do several things. First, we

must understand their experiences in both prenatal counseling and during delivery, to understand any

impact their personal experience may have had with the ultimate delivery method of their child. Second,

we would like to hear what the community members have to say regarding why the rates of VBAC are so

low compared to other racial demographics in the region.

What prior information or knowledge exists to support the conduct of this project or study?

Our work has shown that the rate of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) has been stagnant for the last

20 years for Native Women in Brown County, when it has been increasing for other demographics in the

same region. At the same time, the rate of repeat C-section has increased over 7 times in the same period.

VBAC has been shown to be medical safer than RCS and increasing its utilization has the potential to

reduce disparities in maternal health outcomes, by reducing the rates of unnecessary surgery.

Briefly describe the procedures and interventions that will be performed for this project or study and all

study arms involved. Do not include information on recruitment or consent.

Surveys will be conducted for women in Brown County. It will be electronic (either written or on zoom)

so the women will be in their homes or somewhere comfortable, and we will be on UW Campus or home.

We plan to use a Redcap survey and Zoom based interviews. For answers to qualitative questions, we will

use Dedoose to organize and analyze answers.

Describe the importance of the knowledge reasonably to be gained from this study and what benefit the

research may provide to society.

The knowledge to be gained is important such that it will represent the thoughts and opinions of the

community under study. This input may inform recommendations that the research team will make for

healthcare workers or patient educators, that have the ultimate goal of improving VBAC rates for the

American Indian community in Brown County. VBAC is a safer alternative to repeat C-section, and

increasing its utilization may potentially reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries being performed in

this region for this demographic. All women have the right to reproductive justice and this effort serves to

ensure that right for American Indian women in Brown County.

Describe any potential psychosocial risks to subjects, such as psychological stress or confidentiality risks.

Participants may become upset or experience discomfort. Participants may reveal personal, sensitive, or

identifiable information when responding to open-ended questions.

Procedures to minimize risks.

Data will be stored securely according to campus policy. Participants will be informed about all aspects of

the study during consent and have the option to skip or withdraw from any activities that make them upset

or uncomfortable.

Public Packet

77 of 193

Sensitive, or identifiable information will be removed from the research record(s).

Participants will be informed of the approximate length of study activities during the consent process and

will be offered the opportunity to take breaks during the study activities if needed.

Subject Population

1. Provide the number of subjects that will be recruited at sites for which UW Madison is serving as

the reviewing IRB: 200.

2. Inclusion Criteria: We are seeking to include women over age 18 who identify as American

Indian / Alaska Native who have had a prior C-section anytime after 1990, AND who have given

birth to subsequent children thereafter or have received counseling in subsequent pregnancies.

3. Exclusion criteria: Women who do not identify as American Indian / Alaska Native. Women who

have not had a prior C-section. Minors are excluded.

4. Targeted populations: We are targeting American Indian / Alaska Native adult women. We are

excluding males.

Recruitment plan

The study team will post an announcement about the study on social media sites. The announcement will

instruct potential participants to contact the study team only by phone, email, or by clicking a link to the

study page. Responders may not contact the study team through private messaging on social media. The

comment function will be disabled. Any posts to specific groups on social media will adhere to the

groups’ administrative rules.

Fliers will be posted, instructing potential participants to contact the study team only by phone or email.

Clinic staff will initially approach patients who meet eligibility criteria and briefly describe the study. If

the patient is interested in hearing more about it, a study team member will approach them and complete

the recruitment process.

The study team will send a recruitment email using a secure university-issued email account. The email

will include a subject line which clearly states that it is an advertisement for a research study and an

option to opt out of further contact.

Privacy Plan

Interactions with study participants will be conducted in a private room or a location chosen by the

participant.

Data collection will be limited to the amount necessary to achieve the aims of the research. In the event

that unnecessary personal, sensitive, or identifiable information is provided by the participant, it will

either not be recorded or removed from the research record as soon as possible.

All communications regarding research activities will either be directly with the consented participant and

from a location where privacy can be maintained or be general enough to protect the personal/private

information of the participant.

Public Packet

78 of 193

Level of Identifiability: No identifiers (De-identified, Anonymous, or Anonymized.

Data Protection Plan

Video and/or audio files will be recorded using a secure device and will be stored in a restricted

access folder on the department server.

Audio files are for transcription purposes only and will be permanently destroyed as soon as

transcription is complete.

Electronic files will be stored on a [secure department server/REDCap/Box].

Data will be coded to remove direct identifiers and the link to the code will be stored in a separate

file accessible only via password.

Only approved personnel will have access to study data.

If names or identifiable information are revealed during the recordings, this information will not

recorded in the transcription.

Retention and Security Details

We will use REDCap licensed by UW-Madison to store data. All data will be anonymized prior to being

banked.

Consent: General

We will obtain verbal or signed consent for all participants. We are requesting a wavier of signed consent

for all components of the study, but we will obtain verbal consent for all participants. The research

qualifies for waiver of signed consent based on the criteria that the research involves a distinct community

where signing forms is not in the norm, and research present no more than minimal risk of harm to

subjects and there is an appropriate alternative mechanism for documenting that informed consent was

obtained.

We will conduct verbal consent from participants before administering any of the study questions.

HIPAA Authorization and Waivers

To fulfill HiPAA requirements, we will create a De-identified Dataset. The only HIPAA identifiers

collected for study purposes will include geographic subdivisions smaller than a state (i.e., County).

Review of Health Care Records

The study may involve contacting subjects to obtain additional information. Protected health information

will be collected from the clinic electronic health record: _____.

We will search among providers who have served Native women in the region, and identify patients who

have undergone previous C-sections using a search tool.

Data will be collected from the 01/01/2000 through 12/31/2018. The estimated number of records that

will be accessed for this project is 50.

but the unit had failed, so there’s electronic components in there that are not working

properly and it’s creating safety hazards for the personnel. The unit was about 35 years old,

so we definitely got our moneys worth out of that unit.
