Statement of Effect

2025-2027 Wisconsin Tribal Assistance Grant Spending Plan

Summary

The resolution approves the 2025-2027 Wisconsin Tribal Assistance Grant Spending Plan

utilizing the Wisconsin Tribal Assistance Grant to strengthen the Oneida Nation and its

neighboring community.

Submitted by: Grace L. Elliott, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office

Date: October 10, 2025

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office

In calendar year 2025, the Nation will receive one million dollars ($1,0 00,000) from the State of

Wisconsin through the Tribal Assistance Grant program. According to the terms and conditions of

the grant, the funds may be used at the Nation’s discretion, provided they are not applied to

gaming-related expenses.

Pursuant to the Budget and Finances law [1 O.C. 121.6-4(c)], any supplemental or emergency

funding of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($ 250,000) or more requires the Oneida Business

Committee to develop and adopt a spending plan by resolution. The Committee is responsible for

ensuring that the pla

n aligns with any applicable funding guidance and audit requirements.

To fulfill this responsibility, the Oneida Business Committee directed that the grant be used to

strengthen the Oneida Nation and its neighboring community. At its regularly scheduled meeting

on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Committee reviewed proposed expenditures and approved

the following allocations:

• Case Tractor – $225,000

• ONSS Upgrades – $70,0 00

• UWGB Athletic Partnership – $50,000

• Recreation Activities and Equipment – $100,000

• Utilities Capital Expe

nditures – $335,000

• Farmers Market CIP – $220,000

This resolution formally adopts the 2025–2027 Wisconsin Tribal Assistance Grant Spending Plan,

authorizing the allocation of grant funds for the approved initiatives. It further designates Mark

Powless, CEO of Nation Services, and Melinda Danforth, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs,

as project managers responsible for overseeing implementation.

Conclusion

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

Protect, Preserve, Progress:

Realizing the Spirit of ICWA

ICWA 2050 is a set of principles with many expressions. It is a uniting vision spanning

decades and sectors. It is a commitment to a future where Native children are woven back into

the fabric of our cultures with care and intention. It inspires us to work together and with

determination.

:EL�l 1l

For years, Native child welfare practitioners and advocates have been forced by limited

resources and draining challenges to operate in the short term: What can be done this year or

in this mof'T!ent? S_yste_mstransformation requires long-mindedness. Our most pressing

challenge and greatest opportunity right now is how we work together toward a future that

stretches beyond our lifetimes.

25 years is a generation. Starting in 2024, in the wake of Haaland v. Brackeen, ICWA 2050 is a

commitment to one generation of work in service to the thriving futures of many generations of

Native children.1There is no fixed agenda that can address the interwoven and multi-faceted

systems we aim to change, from funding to policy to courts and changing popular narratives

that have been unhelpful. Leaning into the generational timeframe, ICWA 2050 intentionally

names a goal but not specifically how we arrive there; it is a commitment to being nimble in

response to evolving opportunities, adjusting strategies, and learning together.

The Protect ICWA Campaign was established by the National Indian Child Welfare

Association, the National Congress of American Indians, the Association on American Indian

Affairs, and the Native American Rights Fund, in response to legal challenges to the Indian

Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Together, we work to serve and support Native children, youth,

and families by protecting ICWA. The Campaign works to inform policy, legal, and

communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA. Each partner

contributes unique strengths and focuses on distinct priorities.

BACKGROUND

IWA

2851

[JE

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C.1901 et seq.] was enacted in 1978 after

studies conducted by the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) revealed

widespread removals of Native children into state and private child welfare systems. AAIA, in

partnership with tribal nations, conducted an 11-year effort to raise awareness, develop

legislation, and advocate for the passage of ICWA. ICWA is a restorative response to the

widespread forced removal of Native children from their families and communities by state

and private child welfare agencies.These removals, rooted in a century of failed federal

policies aimed at the destruction of Native nations and the assimilation of Native people,

including federally supported and operated boarding schools, resulted in lasting

intergenerational trauma in Native communities and families.

�

-:-:-T'1"E

b_g

In 1975, shortly before the passage of ICWA, federal policy shifted from a focus on

assimilation to a recognition of inherent tribal sovereignty and tribal self-determination,

acknowledging tribal nations' right to govern their affairs, including in child welfare.The

Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (P.L. 93-638) enabled tribal nations

to contract for social services previously operated by the federal government.Following this

shift, Title II of ICWA authorized the first dedicate,d child welfare funding for tribal nations to

address child welfare under both tribal and state jurisdiction.This funding, though initially

disbursed through competitive grants, allowed tribal nations to develop child welfare

programs and services that reflected their cultural values, traditions, and beliefs. Since 1978,

advocates for Native children have expanded access to federal funding sources supporting

tribal child welfare programs and services, although ttiey still lack parity with states.

Before 2013, legal challenges to ICWA primarily focused on state court interpretations of

ICWA requirements in individual cases. However, following the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court

decision in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl (No.12-399), a small, but well-funded group of

attorneys and conservative advocacy organizations began challenging ICWA's

constitutionality.Between 2014 and 2017, 14 federal lawsuits were filed by or with help from

this anti-lCWA coalition.In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld ICWA as constitutional in

Haaland v. Brackeen (No. 21-376) in a 7-2 decision, marking a monumental victory for Indian

Country and safeguarding ICWA's protections for Native children and families.

Following the Haaland v. Brackeen decision, the National Indian Child Welfare Association

(NICWA), the Protect ICWA Campaign, and regional tribal organizations began conducting

listening sessions with tribal leaders and tribal child welfare leaders.The goal was to identify

priorities for protecting ICWA and strengthening the capacity of tribal child welfare programs.

Leveraging the momentum from the Brackeen decision, we saw an opportunity to develop a

long-term strategy for the dual purposes of protecting ICWA and strengthening tribal child

welfare programs.The NICWA Board of Directors submitted a resolution (NC-24-005)

seeking an endorsement of this plan as ICWA 2050 at the 2024 National Congress of

American Indians (NCAI) Mid-Year Convention.The resolution, which referred to the plan as

ICWA 2050, was adopted by NCAl's Executive Committee, demonstrating tribal support and

leading to the development of ICWA 2050 as a strategic plan.

�

ICWA provides federal requirements for state courts and state child welfare agencies that

address child custody proceedings involving Indian children as defined by the law. lCWA

recognizes inherent tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction and provides minimum federal

standards to prevent the unnecessary removal of Indian children from their homes, ensure

active efforts to strengthen Indian families, provide placement preferences when Indian

�hildren need to be placed in out of home care, and support the transfer of jurisdiction from

state court to tribal court when appropriate.ICWA's requirements are a direct response to the

bias and large scale removals that occurred in state child welfare systems and are still

needed today to address concerns like disproportionate placement of Native children in state

foster care systems.

Goal: Increase funding and support to tribal nations so that every

iij tribe

can provide the full range of child welfare services needed

ICWA 2050 has two overarching goals. First, to provide recommendations for a 25-year

strategy to strengthen ICWA's protections and ensure consistent

implementation and compliance. Second, to recognize and support the critical role

that tribal nations play in protecting Native children, helping families in tribal child welfare

systems, and assisting states as they implement ICWA. This work builds on efforts that

began many years ago at local and state levels, often led by tribal nations. Our intention is to

enhance these efforts and create more opportunities to raise awareness and strengthen

support for them. ICWA 2050 also recognizes the vital support and services that many urban

.-Indian organizations provide to Native families in urban areas in collaboration with states and

tribal nations. The strategic plan outlines the following key goals:

ProtectICWA2050

-·

funding and responsive to the needs of tribal nations. Priorities include establishing a 5% tribal

set-aside from the Social Services Block Grant, full funding for the Indian Child Protection and

Family Violence Prevention grant programs, and amending the Temporary Assistance for Needy

Families program (TANF) so tribal nations will not rely on states to determine the federal or non

federal share, allowing tribal nations to access full funding (federal and non-federal) directly from

the federal government. More specifically, tribal access to federal entitlement programs, capped

and uncapped, must be reformed to allow improved tribal access and operation.

{i!f Objective 2: Expand federal funding and technical assistance to help tribal nations develop

and operate tribal courts that adjudicate child welfare matters for children and families under

tribal jurisdiction. This includes increasing the Tribal Court Improvement Program funding to $5

million annually, increasing base funding to meet tribal court operational needs, and establishing

a tribal juvenile/family court technical assistance center.

{i!f Objective 3: Ensure every tribal nation that seeks to provide relative care, foster care, and

other out-of-home placements has sufficient funding to recruit, license, and support caregivers.

Tribally licensed or approved homes should have the resources and support needed to provide

quality care to Native children.

(i!f Objective 4: Equip tribal leaders with information on developing and operating effective tribal

child welfare programs and services, the importance of representation in state child protection

cases, supporting tribal-state relationships, and proper implementation of ICWA.

{i!f Objective 5: Improve access to culturally based and culturally adapted child welfare programs

and services. Ensure information is available in a variety of formats that align with a tribe's

current capacity and future goals, including practice model examples, program policies and

procedures, codes, intergovernmental agreements, training, technical assistance, and a variety

of easily accessible materials.

notwithstanding federal efforts to develop an ICWA review system that guides state and tribal

efforts to evaluate ICWA implementation and improve policy and practice. These review

systems will include collecting necessary data, coordinating data analysis between states and

tribal nations, jointly identifying plans to improve state ICWA compliance, and establishing

ongoing forums and processes to maintain progress, address challenges, and build joint

ownership of the efforts.

Hi All - On behalf of the ACA/IHCIA Project Team, I have moved forward and signed the contract with the

Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee for the next in-person training to be held on December 3 and

4th. Please see below for a draft "Save the Date" notice to be sent out on our broadcast listserv this week. I

would appreciate any edits/input you may have on this initial notice. I think given that its slightly less than 2

months away, we want to get this notice out and circulating asap. I'll make sure to send you the final version

with all inserted links so that you can also circulate with your other local listservs and groups. Our training is

not limited to the Midwest Tribes, but we certainly want to circulate broadly in that area.

In the next few weeks, I'll pull together a more detailed agenda for the 2 days that we can discuss further with

this small group.

FROM:

Brooke Doxtator, Boards, Committees, and Commissions Supervisor

DATE:

October 14, 2025

RE:

Board, Committee, Commission, Tribally Chartered Entities, and Standing

Committee Vacancies

Background

The purpose of this request is to approve the postings for the CY-2026 vacancies on the

boards, committees, commissions, tribally chartered entities, and standing committees.

According to section 105.6-4 of the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law “the

Secretary shall request and receive approval from the Oneida Business Committee

to post the notice of vacancy.”

The boards, committees, and commissions law does not apply to the Tribally Chartered

Entities and Standing Committees; however, we attempt to follow a similar process for their

vacancies.

This listing applies to appointed positions only and does not include any unknown vacancies

(ex. resignations) that may occur throughout the year.

Action requested:

Approve the calendar year 2026 vacancy postings for Boards, Committees, Commissions,

Tribally Chartered Entities, and Standing Committees.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

TO:

FROM:

Brooke Doxtator, BCC Supervisor

DATE:

October 13, 2025

RE:

CY-2026 OBC Standing Meeting and Reporting Schedules

Purpose:

The attached schedules are being presented to the Business Committee in accordance with the

Oneida Business Committee Meetings Law:

§117.6-1. Annual Schedule. The Oneida Nation Secretary shall present, on or around October of

each year, a proposed schedule for regular meetings of the Oneida Business Committee for

approval by the Oneida Business Committee.

§117.6-2. Reporting Schedule. The Oneida Nation Secretary shall present, on or around October

of each year, a proposed schedule for presentation of reports by entities at regular meetings of

the Oneida Business Committee for approval by the Oneida Business Committee.

Considerations:

§105.12-3 of the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law requires entities to provide

quarterly reports to the Oneida Business Committee in accordance with the quarterly reporting

schedule. It also requires their quarterly reports to be approved by official entity action before

they are submitted. Due to the inactive status of the Environmental Resource Board and Oneida

Personnel Commission we are requesting they be removed from the quarterly reporting

schedule until their status is updated.

Requested Action(s):

Approve the CY-2026 Oneida Business Committee regular meeting and reporting schedules.

Approve request to remove the Environmental Resource Board and Oneida Personnel

Commission from the quarterly reporting schedule until further notice.

Accept the standing meeting schedules as information.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.
