Re:
Recommendation for for use of the Economic Diversification and Community
Development Set‐aside Fund – ED#19‐012 Industrial Hemp Processing Equipment
Background
The Oneida Nation has engaged in a concerted project to develop new emerging markets and
new revenue streams through its agribusiness market expansion efforts. As part of this effort,
the Oneida Nation launched an Economic Development Project entitled ED18‐007 Industrial
Hemp Pilot Project. The Industrial Hemp Pilot Project was supported by the Oneida Business
Committee in BC Resolution #04‐28‐18‐J. This project was funded through the Economic
Diversification and Community Development Set‐aside Fund at a funding level of $90,000 by
Oneida Business Committee on June 12, 2019. This funding supported the grow, cultivation
and harvesting of the 2019 pilot product produced.
Current Request
The Oneida Cannery, a business unit in the Internal Services Division, specializes in the
innovative processing of agricultural products through a “value‐added” process. The Oneida
Cannery is seeking to expand their capacity by supplying value‐added processing of industrial
hemp grain products into marketable products. This funding request for $31,300 for
equipment acquisition, shipping and installation. This funding, from the Economic
Diversification and Community Development Set‐aside Fund, will help fulfill the expansion of
Oneida Cannery products into new markets and potential new revenue streams in the industrial
hemp category. Further – this funding will continue to expand the support of the ED18‐007
Industrial Hemp Pilot Project, by providing the piloting and testing of processing, marketing and
sales phase of a portion of the harvested industrial hemp grain produced.

Findings after Review
In accordance with the latest OBC Resolution #01‐23‐19‐C in my opinion, this appears to be an
appropriate use of the Economic, Diversification and Community Development fund and I can
offer my recommendation to support this funding request. This agribusiness pilot project will
support future economic growth and development of new emerging market revenue streams
on the Oneida Reservation. This current request, plus the previously requested funds approved
by the OBC, will bring the total funding request to $121,300 for the overall Industrial Hemp
Pilot Project to‐date – which includes both the ED18‐007 Industrial Hemp Pilot Project ($90,000)
and this current ED19‐012 Industrial Hemp Processing Equipment ($31,300) funding request.
In Closing
Economic Development and creation of new revenue streams is essential to the future of the
Oneida Nation’s sustainability and survival. Agriculture is inherent to the Oneida Nation way of
life, and this agribusiness opportunity aligns with the agribusiness efforts that are identified in
the 2018 Economic Development Strategic Plan. This funding allocation will support the Oneida
Nation’s economic development plans on the Oneida Reservation.

Narrative/Background:
Tribal Tax Advisory Committee (T.T.A.C.) Pre-Meeting and Inaugural Meeting with
Treasury.
After almost 5 years in the making, the US Treasury has formally approved the
activities of the Tribal Tax Advisory Committee (TTAC) to begin. Attached is the
agenda for both the June 19, 2019, preparatory meeting and the June 20, 2019,
public meeting with TTAC and the Department of Treasury.
TTAC held a preparatory meeting on June 19, 2019. This pre-meeting focused on
TTAC’s organization, structure, and how TTAC will work with the US Department of
Treasury. The treasury was represented by Christie Jacobs, the director of the Indian
Tribal Government Office – IRS; Krishna Vallabhaneni, the Tax Legislative Counsel for
the US Department of the Treasury, and Nancy Montoya, Community Development and
Financial Services Professional, Policy Advisor US Department of the Treasury. These
three (3) designated federal officials were present for TTAC’s June 19, 2019, premeeting and TTAC’s June 20, 2019, public meeting.
June 19, 2019, TTAC preparatory meeting
TTAC reviewed and discussed a proposed charter; began developing by-laws, and
prepared for the June 20, 2019, public meeting.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding the role of Treasury support offices, points of
contact, and organizational assistance. Of concern was the necessity for the
Committee to have the ability to meet directly with the Department of Treasury
Secretary, per PL113-168. Also of great concern was the exemption of TTAC from the
Federal Advisory Committee Act. We requested Treasury for the following
exemption:
Page 1 of 3
OBC Approved 03-25-2015
Public Packet
Page 2
89 of 142
Business Committee Travel Report
Authority. Tribal General Welfare Act of 2014, Public Law 113-168. The TTAC is
established in accordance with and shall operate under provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. Unless the exemption in 2 U.S.C.
1534(b) applies.
We received approval of this language 10 minutes prior to the Public meeting. Going
forward TTAC can now provide letters or resolutions of delegated persons to serve on
the committee, in lieu of a Tribally elected leader, and will be exempt from having to
have public meetings. The Charter will be updated by the US Treasury using the FACA
exempt language.
Prior to finalizing TTAC’s bylaws, the commission had several questions for the US
Treasury regarding:
Extending staggered terms to 4‐year appointments for the 3 positions that are appointed by
Treasury
Questions regarding how a congressional appointment vacancy is filled still needs review
Technical Advisors: The law allows for Technical Advisors. TTAC is inquiring whether they can
contract with Native American Finance Officers Association (NAFOA) to organize information,
research, and provide technical assistance. A question remains as to whether each Committee
member will also be allowed a technical advisor.
Developing sub‐committees and travel expenses for those sub‐committees and technical
advisors
Develop logistics around communication
Holding 3 standing meetings consisting of a pre‐meeting and a regular meeting with the
Department of Treasury
TTAC awaits formal response from the US Treasury; by-laws were deferred to the next
TTAC meeting for completion.
June 20, 2019, TTAC Public Meeting
The public meeting included TTAC, Jovita Carranza, (44th Treasurer of the United
States), Michael Faulkender, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy,
and several Treasury department staff.
TTAC has a budget of $250,000. For Fiscal Year 2019, travel for the June 19, 2019,
and June 20, 2019 meetings is our only expense. TTAC will begin working on planning
for their Fiscal Year 2020 budget.
Lacey Horn, former Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation, was elected TTAC Chair, and
Eugene Magnuson, Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, was elected TTAC Vice Chair. No
other officers were recommended for the Committee. Minutes, recordings,
scheduling, etc. will all be handled by US Treasury staff.
I would like to extend sincere appreciation to Native American Finance Officers
Association (NAFOA) staff, as they provided TTAC a briefing paper outlining several
Indian taxation issues and their impacts, and recommendations to cure those taxation
issues.
TTAC highlighted several of the most important issues Indian Country is asking for
attention to: Dual Taxation issues, General Welfare Exclusion (GWE), Tribal Chartered
Corporation designations, Kiddie Tax, Opportunity Zones, Pension Plans, and Parity

Business Committee Travel Report
with other Sovereigns. Several other issues were recognized by TTAC to be on record
and addressed as soon as we can organize. (NAFOA briefing paper attached).
Throughout both meeting days, both TTAC and the US Treasury made it expressly
clear that TTAC will not replace the necessity for Treasury to hold consultation
meetings with Tribes. This issue was very important, as TTAC will advise Treasury on
impacts of policy issues, but not interfere with direct access of Tribes to Treasury and
vice versa.
The IRS Office of Indian Tribal Governments also has an advisory committee who
requested to work together, with TTAC, where appropriate. TTAC supports this
request.
TTAC was able to speak freely and educate about Tribe’s being sovereign, federally
recognized, and their need to become truly self-governed. These points were well
delivered, and well accepted by US Treasury staff. The meeting was a huge success,
and the first time in history, where Tribes will have legislative authority, to work
directly with and advise a Federal department.
Item(s) Requiring Attention:
The next TTAC meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 17, & September 18,
2019; or September 26 & September 27, 2019, in Washington D.C.
Additional tentative meetings are December 2 & December 3, 2019; March 25 & March
26, 2020, September 15 & September 16, 2020.

What have we accomplished during the 3rd Quarter of FY 2019?
Our efforts continue in utilizing different forms of multi-media toward
Twalihwan&nha. Watching over the ways of the Oneida Nation, nurturing
them, protecting them is the goal to ensure what is known of our ways is
saved and able to be passed down to future generations. Way beyond what
is or is not written down in the average History Textbook they are exposed
to in school. This includes, what we can see (photos), read (written works),
hear (videos), and touch (artifacts). Through the use of technology, we are
able to secure multiple avenues that are efficient and effective to allow
future generations access to this knowledge, and not only in learning our
ways, but also being able to contribute to Twalihwan&nha in the future.

How are we supporting the Nation’s priorities?
125 of 142
In addition to our efforts, by using the Oneida Language to label our
identified outcome, Twalihwan&nha, shows a strong correlation between
Oneida Nation’s Core Values and the Nation’s priorities. Specifically, in how
Watlihowan@htu – speaks to doing what is necessary to make the matter of
importance for oneself relates to our priority of Protecting and Preserving the
Oneida Culture and Language. We do this through using technology in its
number of multi-media formats to our advantage to safeguard what remains
in existence today.
What will we continue to work on?
The Members of the Oneida Nation of WI and its surrounding communities
can expect our multitude of efforts to continue as we strive toward
Twalihwan&nha (watching over the ways | nurturing them | protecting them)
- not only through archiving what’s already known about the Oneida Culture
and Language, but also through research on Oneida’s History to fill in the
gaps.

What have we accomplished during the 3rd Quarter of FY 2019?
The Tech. Budget and Grant Funds have greatly improved our ability to
revitalize and restore the Oneida language. As the number of qualified
instructors and the number of participants increase so do the request for
language classes and/ or cultural presentations. This past quarter collectively
the staff have provided over 127 presentations on over 37 different Oneida
Culture and/ or Language topics. Highlighted, by the Oneida Language
Symposium: 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages with over 85 people
in attendance. Classes continue for all ages through the Immersion Program
and the Tsi> Niyukwalih%=t< Initiative. As for Tetwatunhat#nyehse> (We are
changing our lives) – the Oneida Nation Rites of Passage group they had
their Rites of Passage Ceremony the third week of June. All the work that
went into the preparation and the ceremony itself would not have been
possible without the support of tribal entities, community members, and the
families of the faster themselves. The group included 12 Fasters in all; 2-3rd
years, 6-2nd years, and 4-1st years. All the while,

How are we supporting the Nation’s priorities?
Specifically, by implementing Kalihwi=y% - the use of good words about
ourselves, our Nation, and our future and Ka>satst^sla – the strength of
belief and vision as a people to label our 2nd identified outcome,
Taetwaku=t@ke (to keep going | to carry on). As our priority is to preserve
and protect the Oneida Culture and Language, our efforts focus on ensuring
they continue indefinitely. In short, knowledge holders are sharing the Oneida
Culture and Language with not only our people, but people of all
backgrounds and ages. Further promoting another Oneida Nation Core Value:
Twahwatsi=l@y< - all of us are family.
What will we continue to work on?
The Members of the Oneida Nation of WI and its surrounding communities
can expect to see presentations continue to be offered, along with further
growth. The Head Start Oneida Language Immersion Classroom’s success has
led to a total of seven (7) teachers with skills to teach in an Indigenous
Language Immersion environment and seven (7) teachers progressing in
language proficiency toward advanced speaking abilities with the development
of On<yote>a=ka= Tsi Nitwaw<no=t< Language Curriculum. Also, the
implementation of an area succession plan to ensure the protection and
preservation of the Oneida Culture and Language continues with two (2) out
of the possible three (3) Lotiwy<tehta>uh@tyehse> Ukwehuwehn#ha (They're
continuously going along learning the ways of the Original Human Beings)
positions have now been filled. While Tetwatunhat#nyehse> (We are changing

3rd quarter over 3,425 community members of all ages have been exposed
to the importance of self-care as outline in the graph above.

How are we supporting the Nation’s priorities?
129 of 142
Our 3rd identified outcome, Yethiya>tahni=l@tse>, shows a strong correlation
between the Oneida Nation’s Core Values and the Nation’s priorities.
Specifically, Yukwats$stay< - our fire, our spirit within each one of us. As
our priority is to preserve and protect the Oneida Culture and Language, the
more people we’re able to educate and assist in making strong physically,
emotionally, mentally, and spiritually the more likely our people will be able
to reclaim their On<yote>a=k@= Identity.
What will we continue to work on?
The membership can expect to see recruitment and/ or advertising for a
variety of learning opportunities that provide the building blocks necessary in
making us strong physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As the
demand for holistic approaches to address the struggles of our world today
increases, our area will continue working hard to develop a
Tsi> Niyukwalih%=t< compensation team for equal pay and grading policies
for cultural job descriptions that require extensive Indigenous knowledge and
understanding of how all four (4) aspects of Yethiya>tahni=l@tse> are
interconnected.
