Thurner
To implement the Constitutional amendments approved by the Oneida membership
through the May 2, 2015 Secretarial Election.
The Law governs the Oneida Nation’s election process.
Election Board
Oneida Nation boards, committees and commissions that set a minimum age
requirement in their by-laws may want to consider whether to lower those minimum
age requirements accordingly.
N/A
The proposed amendments to the Election Law (the Law) are made to reflect one of the
Oneida Constitutional amendments passed at the May 2, 2015 Secretarial Election, which
lowered the minimum voting age for Tribal elections from 21 years old to 18 years old.
Currently, the Election Law defines “qualified voters” as persons who are at least 21
years old, which conflicts with the amended Oneida Constitution. The proposed amendments
change the definition for a “qualified voter,” to mean enrolled Tribal members who are at least
18 years old, instead of those who are at least 21 years old. [2.3-18 and 2.8-1]
Additional Changes
The Constitutional Amendments also changed the official name of the tribe to “Oneida
Nation.” Throughout the Law, various references to the “Tribe” are changed to instead refer to
the “Nation,” and a definition for “Nation” is added. [2.3-15]
Various references to the “Enrollment Department” are changed to refer to the “Trust

These proposed amendments are being submitted for emergency adoption in order to
become effective prior to a Tribal caucus scheduled to be held on May 7, 2016.
Section 16.9-5 of the Legislative Procedures Act (LPA) authorizes the OBC to
temporarily enact an emergency law where necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public health, safety or general welfare of the reservation population, when it is required sooner
than would be possible through the standard legislative process. If adopted on an emergency
basis, these amendments will become effective immediately and remain in effect for up to six
months, with a possibility of a one-time extension of up to an additional six months. [LPA 16.95(b)] Emergency amendments to the Election Law to lower the voting age to 18 were adopted on
June 28, 2015; however those amendments expired after six months.
A public meeting is not required for emergency legislation.

Purpose: The purpose of the ONVAC is to serve as an advisory body to the Oneida Veterans
Service Office in all matters related to the Oneida Tribal veteran’s rights and benefits and
veterans affairs issues, and to protect the honor and integrity of the Oneida Tribe and all veterans
who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces. It shall be the purpose of the ONVAC
to provide advice and constructive input to the veterans Service Office Director on all veterans’
affairs and/or issues in order that the Office can formulate veteran services and programs for the
Oneida Veterans. ONVAC coordinates veteran events with the assistance of the Veterans
Service Office and other organized groups that are representatives of Oneida Veterans and the
Oneida Tribe.
I.
Budget: ONVAC has a positive variance due to good stewardship by the Committee.
Our Committee paid close attention to our overall Budget throughout the year and as
most other Business Units did, we always remained within our spending parameters.
II.
Our efforts continue with the LOC in developing and implementing an Oneida Nation
Flag Policy as well as a Flag Protocol for Color Guard activities throughout the
community. We are also continuing to establish a Veteran’s Community Fund from
which we can provide small amounts of resources to individual veteran’s and/or family
needs.
III.
On February 4, 2016, The Medical School at Marquette University hosted a reception to
Honor Dr. Josiah A. Powless (Oneida) and to announce the establishment of a
Page 1 of 3
Page 209 of 225
scholarship in his name. Two members of the ONVAC transported two of Dr. Powless’
grandchildren (Roy Huff and Elizabeth (Betty) Bins) to the event. In follow up to this
recognition, the ONVAC would like to establish a monument in his name to be placed at
a location to be determined, during Veteran’s Day of 2016 or Memorial Day 2017. The
details of this undertaking have begun and will be announced ASAP. Furthermore, Dr.
Powless received the Distinguished Service Cross posthumously for his extraordinary
courage and valor as a physician and a soldier while serving in the U. S. Army in WW I.
The ONVAC is currently undertaking the task of attempting to get his medal upgraded to
the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest honor given to military personnel.
IV.
Elderly Hunting: The ONVAC Chairman presented an opportunity for Oneida Elders to
possibly participate in a free hunting outing and he will follow up with the provider. He
has personally participated in this opportunity and it was a positive experience. A letter
was drafted to the Oneida Conservation Department requesting that they look into this
opportunity for our Oneida Elders. A subcommittee has been established with
Conservation and we are presently having meetings and working on next steps.
V.
Loretta Metoxen, no longer on ONVAC continues her role as the representative to the
Governor’s Veterans Museum Committee on behalf of all Wisconsin Tribes and their
respective veterans organizations. Ms. Metoxen makes monthly verbal reports to the
ONVAC and those notes are captured within our monthly meeting minutes.
VI.
The ONVAC continues to work with the Veterans Service Office (VSO) on:
•
Assisting our Communities’ Veterans
•
Continuous upgrading and maintenance on the Veteran’s Memorial Site along
HWY 54. The ONVAC wishes to thank the Department of Public Works (DPW)
and the Tourism Department for their continued support with our efforts.
•
Selling and acquiring and installation of “pavers” for Veterans at the Memorial
Site. As of 4-12-16 we have a total of 247 pavers.
•
ONVAC continues to work with the VSO to have all Civil War headstones
replaced at all local cemeteries. This is a continuing process.
•
The ONVAC and VSO continue to collaborate with all of the Oneida Veterans
Organizations in serving as Honor and Color Guards for GTC and other
Organizational Meetings, external Veterans Activities, meetings, funerals, etc.
•
SEOTS has invited organizations to meeting on May 13, 2016. ONVAC
members plan to attend.
•
ONVAC donated a Pendleton blanket for Raffle for Oneida youth to go to
Washington, D.C. this coming summer.

Minute Updates
Minutes are on record.
Action Taken
Action was taken to fill one board position.
Financial
Four (3) regular Board meetings were held this quarter.
The SEOTS Advisory Board budget is well under budget due to: there were several cancelled
meetings- some due to bereavement- and the board was conducted with a reduced number
of Board members.
Special Events and Travel
One community meeting was held this quarter. We have several suggestions to follow up with
on requests.
Personal Comments
January through March are generally quieter due to weather, but SEOTS counts were as
usual robust:
January Total Visits: 443
February Total Visits: 396
March Total Visits: 544
Total Visits, January-March: 1383
Unique Visits, January-March: 473
Most Utilized Services, January-March:
Medication Distribution: 556
Elder Activities: 239
Page 225 of 225
Craft Classes: 150
The only numbers not reflected are when Tribal members use the hall for birthday parties,
anniversary parties, etc. We do not require those clients to sign in.
Goals and Objectives
We had one request from our language teacher to with assistance for I-Pads to help with
classes. The Executive director was able to satisfy this request without board fundraising.
Meeting Requirements
Twice a month (when approved by the LOC the second monthly meeting will be optional)
February proved a difficult month to meet due to deaths in families and other issues.
Follow-up
None.
