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 XI. REPORTS A. OPERATIONAL 1.

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.

Public Packet 35 of 193 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov Statement of Effect Supervision of the Chief Financial Officer in the Absence of the Treasurer Summary Through this resolution the Oneida Business Committee provides for the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer in the absence of the Treasurer. Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: March 20, 2023 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The General Tribal Council adopted resolution GTC-07-11-94-A which identified that the “Treasurer has the fiscal and fiduciary responsibility over all Tribal assets” and directed that “the Tribal Treasurer, on a daily basis, shall supervise the Chief Financial Officer, who in turn shall oversee all the functions of the Oneida Tribe’s Accounting Department(s)” transferring supervision 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.

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. Page 1 of 2 Public Packet 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.

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.
