A couple of questions: What time is the Business meeting? Do reps from the state need to be there or are we only needed at the ceremony for Kerry? What time is the Ceremony schedule for? If we have a “sequence of events/agenda”…it would be a good opportunity for Secretary Bond to speak on behalf of the WDVA. Is that possible? At that time, I think he would present an award of some kind.

Get Outlook for iOS From: Doud, Melissa - DVA Sent: Monday, August 21, 2023 3:05:02 PM To: Tehassi Tasi Hill Subject: Kerry Metoxin Good afternoon. It was nice to meet you at the GLITC board meeting last week. Per our short conversation, the WDVA would like to do something for Kerry Metoxin who is retiring shortly and has provided services to Veterans for over 30 years to my understanding. Is there a way to get a short bio, and a list of his accomplishments? Information on his time in the military as well as the years he has served as the TVSO would be appreciated. I believe the WDVA would like to surprise him but we don’t want to duplicate anything the Tribe might be doing as far as a ceremony. I know you are busy, but can you point me in the right direction of who I can coordinate with to honor Kerry in a good way. Much appreciated and I look forward to working with you. Kindest regards, and Miigwech (thank you) Melissa Doud Tribal Veteran Liaison Office of Public Affairs 715-492-1595 PO Box 7843 | Madison, WI 53707 WisVets.com “I acknowledge that I live and work on the original lands of the Ojibwe people” (Lac du Flambeau) Confidentiality Notice: This email message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Leeman, LRO Senior Staff Attorney Revised: 04/25/2023 Page 2 of 2 Public Packet 84 of 312 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Oneida Business Committee Jameson Wilson, Legislative Operating Committee Chairperson October 18, 2023 One Year Review of the Children’s Code Background On September 14, 2022, the Oneida Business Committee adopted amendments to the Children’s Code through the adoption of resolution BC-09-14-22-A. The purpose of the Children’s Code is to provide for the welfare, care, and protection of Oneida children through the preservation of the family unit, while recognizing that in some circumstances it may be in the child’s best interest to not be reunited with his or her family. [1 O.C. 708.1-1]. Furthermore, the Children’s Code strengthens family life by assisting parents in fulfilling their responsibilities as well as facilitating the return of Oneida children to the jurisdiction of the Nation and acknowledging the customs and traditions of the Nation when raising an Oneida child. Id. It is the policy of the Nation to ensure there is a standard process for conducting judicial proceedings and other procedures in which children and all other interested parties are provided fair hearings in addition to ensuring their legal rights are recognized and enforced, while protecting the public safety. [1 O.C. 708.1-2]. When the Oneida Business Committee adopted amendments to the Children’s Code on September 14, 2022, the Oneida Business Committee also directed the Legislative Operating Committee to conduct a one (1) year review of the Children’s Code. On October 9, 2023, the Legislative Operating Committee met with representatives from the Oneida Family Court, Indian Child Welfare Department, and the Oneida Law Office to review and discuss how the implementation and utilization of the Children’s Code has fared since the most recent amendments were adopted in September 2022. One Year Review The Oneida Family Court, Indian Child Welfare Department, and the Oneida Law Office provided that the utilization of the processes and procedures in the Children’s Code has been smooth since the Oneida Business Committee last amended the Children’s Code. Currently the Indian Child Welfare Department On-Going services is serving eight (8) cases which includes twenty (20) children, seventeen (17) parents, and ten (10) placement care providers for the children. The average length a case is open in On-Going is two (2) years. This does not include any of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) cases that are currently in courts outside of the Nation’s jurisdiction, or cases in the Initial Assessment phase of the process – both of which the Indian Child Welfare Department plays a role in and maintain responsibilities for. The Indian Child Welfare Department shared the following statistics regarding cases that have been closed by the Oneida Family Court, which have impacted twenty (20) total children: Page 1 of 4 Public Packet    85 of 312 October 2022 – September 2023 - seven (7) children impacted.  Reunification: three (3) children.  Guardianship with a relative: four (4) children. October 2021 – September 2022 - eight (8) children impacted.  Reunification: five (5) children.  Guardianship with relative: two (2) children.  Termination of Parental Rights/Adoption: one (1) child. October 2020 – September 2021- five (5) children impacted.  Reunification: three (3) children.  Guardianship with relative: two (2) children. The Indian Child Welfare Department shared that there are six (6) total On-Going services Indian Child Welfare Department workers, with two (2) current vacancies. Two (2) of the On-Going services Indian Child Welfare Department workers have been hired within the last six (6) months; full training for this position takes one (1) to two (2) years. This means that the Indian Child Welfare Department has two (2) current employees who have enough training and experience to be assigned cases that will be heard in the Oneida Family Court. Filling vacancies, maintaining staff, and preventing burnout of staff have been ongoing challenges the Indian Child Welfare Department has been continuously working towards overcoming. The Children’s Code is still a relativity new law, and not all of the processes and procedures in the law have been used yet. As cases progress, the Indian Child Welfare Department, Oneida Law Office, and Oneida Family Court have been keeping notes on any potential revisions to the Children’s Code that may be needed, any areas that may need clarification, or any gaps or absences in the law that should be addressed. Some potential issues to be addressed through future amendments to the Children’s Code include:  Subsidized Guardianship.  Guardianship is a legal permanency option for children placed in out of home care through the child welfare system. A caregiver who is appointed guardian of a child by the court has the duty and authority to make important decisions for the child without severing the child’s legal relationship to their parents and other family members. Subsidized guardianship supports the legal permanence option of guardianship and allows the guardian to continue receiving a monthly payment to offset the costs of caring for the child. The child welfare agency must determine if the child and prospective guardian are eligible for subsidized guardianship and enter into a subsidized guardianship agreement with the prospective guardian prior to the court’s appointment of the guardian. After the guardianship is established, the guardian will receive a monthly payment until the child and/or guardian no longer meet the eligibility criteria, or the subsidized guardianship agreement is terminated.1  Under Wis. Stat. § 48.623 and Wis. Admin. Code § DCF 55.03, an agency shall provide monthly subsidized guardianship payments to support the care of children in guardianships under Wis. Stat. § 48.977(2), or a substantially similar tribal law, and subject to agreements outlined in Wis. Admin. Code § DCF 55.01(2).  The Indian Child Welfare Department and One [Text truncated at 120,000 characters.
