Message from

President Nuttle

them acclimated to their tribal

administrative/management

role as quickly as possible as

well as providing a refresher

for our experienced business

council members.

We are finalizing a committees

and commissions handbook,

which will provide valuable

information to those who

serve in those positions and

assist in providing guidance

to key resource or governing

documents. This is being done

to establish a standard system

of operations for committees

and commission appointments.

The new council members

are being provided with tribal

governing documents, law

and order codes, articles of

incorporation, by-laws, etc.

so they will be aware of what

governs

tribal

programs,

services and tribal entities,

such as the Housing Authority,

Pawnee

Nation

College

and

Tribal

Development

Corporation. We will have a

2-day orientation training for

the Pawnee Business Council

and look forward to moving full

steam ahead after completion.

We have discussed community

meetings, re-development of

tribal infrastructure, addressing

corrective action plans and

most importantly strategic

planning. I also would like to

stress, the needs, concerns

and issues of our tribal

members do not go unknown.

They may not be resolved as

timely as individuals would like

them to be; however, we try our

best to remedy them in the best

way and utilize the resources

to the best of our capability,

in accordance with the policy,

rules and regulations that

govern the program.

In order to address the needs

of our tribal members fully, we

will need any and all feedback

from you, the tribal member, to

participate in the community

meetings or other venues or

platforms available to make

your issues, concerns or

recommendations heard. We

wish to devise a Strategic Plan

that is true to our needs and

reflects all the concerns and

issues of our Nation. Once

this is finalized, we can begin

looking for resources to make

these priorities and goals a

reality. We have historically

been stuck in the planning

phase but I do not anticipate

this as we have very resultoriented

and

determined

Individuals serving on the

business council.

We are looking forward to the

69th Annual Pawnee Indian

Veterans Homecoming, which

will be held July 2-5, 2015.

The Homecoming event is a

celebration and recognition

event to honor the present

and past military service of

our Pawnee Nation members.

During

the

Homecoming

event, the Tax Department

and Enrollment Office will be

working a flex schedule to

accommodate tribal members

who wish to utilize their

services. Please make sure

the enrollment office has your

current address to ensure

you are included in all tribal

mailings and inquiries. The

Pawnee Nation programs

and departments have been

working hard, planning events

throughout the entire weekend

and have tried to incorporate

activities for all ages. For

more information or event

information, please visit the

Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma

Facebook page. We hope

everyone enjoys their 4th of

July weekend and has a safe

and responsible weekend.

Nowa.

There has been

tremendous

amount

of undertakings at the

Pawnee Nation, with the

introduction of new business

council members, and with

myself transitioning from

the Treasurer position to

presidency.

Remembering

my experience as a new

council member, I am trying

to create a beneficial and

relevant orientation for our

new council members to get

we can be able to provide services to all tribal members no

matter where they live.

M. Angela Thompson, Pawnee Nation Treasurer

Message from Pawnee Nation Treasurer

Nawa Ahkitadu,

I want to thank all the voters who participated in this year’s

election, we had a total of 462 voters and it looks like we have

some work to do in reaching out to all our constituents/tribal

members. During my campaign many folks approached me

and brought out issues some of the topics that I heard were:

1. Why should I vote, we do not live in the Pawnee area and

therefore we do not receive any services. 2. Travel, where they

going and what they bringing back. 3. Accountability throughout

the whole Nation including our enterprises. 4. Transparency.

In my opinion, everyone should vote, no matter where they

reside and even if they do not receive services. Because, it is

the ELECTED Pawnee Business Council (PBC) who will make

the decisions to serve outside the local and Pawnee area and

if you choose not to voice your opinion by casting your votes

than this may never happen, you have a choice to vote the best

candidate in office who will share in your wishes. 2. It is your

sovereign right as a Pawnee, as I stated in my campaign there

are a few things that cannot be taken away unless “we allow

them to be taken away” our language, our land, our culture

and heritage, who our members are and who we vote for as

our tribal leaders. The decisions that are made will not only

affect you now but your future ancestry for years to come and

who knows they may choose to reside in the Pawnee area.

Also, we want to build our Nation’s economy so that one day

I feel very confident and excited about our newly elected council

we have had 2 regular meetings and 1 Quarterly meeting since

inauguration. Although, we are still getting acclimated to our

positions, we are also identifying processes and protocols that

will maximize our way of doing business. I am still gathering

information to be fiscally responsible to you, the people. Once

I have all this information I will publish a financial report that

shows the current financial status of the Pawnee Nation when

I took office. I will provide an update to this report each quarter

within the Chaticks-si-Chaticks and on the website. Budget

call was just issued and we will be conducting budget training

June 15-17. The 2016 Comprehensive Budget will be finalized

on or before October 1, 2015.

In regard to travel, accountability, and transparency we are

reviewing the travel policy, establishing a travel trip report

which will identify how the travel/training/conferences will

benefit the Pawnee Nation and how it will be implemented.

As I and President Nuttle sign checks on a weekly basis we

are asking questions and asking for further documentation, if

needed. Therefore, I respectfully ask that all employees and

tribal members be patient with us and understand that we ask

questions not to be directly against you but that we are looking

at protecting the assets and resources of the Pawnee Nation, it

is not personal. We were elected to and have the responsibility

to ensure that we are spending our limited resources in an

appropriate manner that limits waste and excess spending.

The goal is to ensure that all our funds are expended according

to fiscal policies so they do not incur audit findings.

I look forward to serving as your Treasurer for the next four

years and working with the entire PBC in establishing our

goals and serving the Pawnee people. I hope to see you at

Pawnee Homecoming, come by our camp and eat supper

with us, we usually serve around 5:30PM, and our camp is

the Nuttle Camp located directly behind the East Bleachers!!

Tatachikstehu.

Pawnee Nation Chief Judge Dianne Harrold-Barker testifies before the

Senate Committee on Indian Affairs

Crime Victims Need Ways To Heal and Recover

From Victimization

Chief Judge of the Pawnee Nation District Court, Dianne

Harrold-Barker testified June 10, 2015 at the Senate Committee

on Indian Affairs Hearing on “Addressing the Need for Victim

Services in Indian Country” noting the lack of services for

crime victims in Indian Country. Judge Harrold-Barker testified

that “Tribes frequently lack any form of victim services

infrastructure and where services are available there are still

major gaps.” She stated that it is important to note that not only

do domestic violence and sexual assault victims need services

but also that many victims of crimes require services. Such

crimes include child abuse, human trafficking, elder physical

and financial abuse, homicide and property crimes and many

others. Judge Harrold-Barker stated that the victims of these

and other crimes are in need of support.

Needed support services described in her testimony include:

medical attention and other culturally appropriate services

to address physical and non-physical injuries resulting from

a crime. Also victim advocates, emergency shelter, crisis

intervention services, emergency services and because of the

lack of access to transportation, common in tribal communities,

emergency shelter and transportation services may be

critical. She notes that where a victim lacks transportation, they

often cannot seek assistance, go to court, obtain medical care

or participate in cultural healing.

Judge Harrold-Barker suggested actions to be taken to address

the lack of services for victims of crime include: internal and

external collaborations between tribes and service providers

including the provision of appropriate services in a holistic

approach when victimization occurs in an urban area or

outside Indian Country. She advocated that Tribes also need

the resources and support to create criminal codes to ensure

that crimes are addressed, including a tribal victim rights

code. She also suggested that Tribes create a tribal law that

would hold offenders accountable and protect crime victims by

making intimidation of crime victims a crime in and of itself. She

observed that if Tribes want to opt in to implement the Tribal Law

and Order Act, crime victims’ services would come at a major

cost due to the (TLO) Act’s requirements.

PAWNEE NATION POLICE DEPARTMENT

As in years past, the Pawnee Nation Police Department

will once again be providing security during this years’

69th Annual Veterans Homecoming Powwow. Officers

from the surrounding Tribal Police Department as well

as the Pawnee City Police Department and the Pawnee

County Sheriff’s Department will work together in

assuring this years’ event will be a safe and enjoyable

one. A temporary security station will be located at the

football locker room located at the northwest end of

the football field for anyone needing information or

assistance. In keeping this years’ event safe, please

remember there will be no illegal drugs, alcohol or

fireworks allowed at the Powwow or around the

camping areas, this will be strictly enforced. Evening

patrols of the campsites will be made during the night

of the Powwow.

Special Salute to Mr. Glen McGuire! He has served our Pawnee

Nation, our Country and has honored his family in living a good

life, and being the best Pawnee Warrior he could be. McGuire is

95, and may be the oldest WWII Pawnee Nation Veteran.

Pawnee Tribal Members Entitled to Cobell Money

Over 500 Pawnee Tribal members or their heirs may be entitled to almost $700,000 in unclaimed funds under the

Cobell settlement. The Cobell lawsuit received final approval from the federal courts in November 2012. At that time,

the Department of Interior provided to the attorneys for class members, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, and the

court approved Claims Administrator, the Garden City Group, the records for approximately 500,000 individuals who

may be entitled to payment. However, there was no contact information for about 75% of those people. Often Interior

provided a name and a Tribe, nothing more. Therefore, for the past three years, David Smith, an attorney with Kilpatrick

Townsend, and Garden City, have been searching for individuals entitled to the money. So far, over 90% of the funds

have been disbursed, including over $4 million to more than 1500 Pawnee Tribal members. However, with the help of

the Tribe we want to locate and get the money to those who have not yet received it.

Those entitled to participate in the settlement are tribal members who were living on September 30, 2009, or

This year marks the 69th Renewal of the Pawnee Indian Veterans Homecoming

By William H. Howell

The 69th renewal of the

Pawnee Indian Veterans

Homecoming and Powwow

begins on Thursday, July

2, and continues through

Sunday, July 5, 2015, at

Pawnee’s Memorial Field.

Once billed as the “Largest

FREE Indian Powwow in the

World,” the first Homecoming

was held in 1946 at the Dollie

Moore

campgrounds

welcome home the men and

women from the great war.

The first Homecoming was

several years in planning by

World War I veterans, various

tribal service organizations

and tribal members.

At the conclusion of

that first Homecoming, the

returning combat veterans

formed the Pawnee Indian

Veterans Organization and

they decided to continue the

Homecoming as an annual

event, to be held the first

weekend in July. That tradition

continues.

Since that time, tribal

members

and

Pawnee

community members who live

across the country plan their

annual pilgrimage to Pawnee

for the Homecoming and

related 4th of July festivities,

along with many other visitors

who come to town.

The

current

Veterans

Organization, in conjunction

with several programs within

the Pawnee Nation, have put

together a long list of activities

for veterans, visitors, tribal and

community members, for this

big holiday celebration and its

all FREE . . . free parking, free

admission, free camping, free

rations to all campers.

This year’s Homecoming

is dedicated to the memory

of Chester LeadingFox, a

tribal member who served in

the military for over 22 years

and in three wars. He will be

recognized on the 4th of July.

Probably, one of the most

important activities is the raising

of the Veterans burial flag each

morning in honor and memory

of deceased tribal veterans.

Each year, the Veterans select

four tribal veterans to be

honored on each of the four

days of the Homecoming. The

flag is raised each morning

at 7:00 a.m., at the southeast

endzone of Pawnee High

School’s Memorial Field and

flies throughout that day’s

activities.

This year, on Thursday, July 2,

2015, the flag of Elinor “Sarge”

Fields, a WWII veteran will be

raised and signals the start of

the 69th annual Homecoming.

The flag of Roberta Gardipe

will be raised on Friday,

July 3. Besides her service,

Roberta served many offices

in the Veterans organization,

including President. She was

also the first woman Keeper

of the Drum for the Veterans

organization.

On Saturday, July 4, the

flag of Chester LeadingFox

will be raised. He had a brief

enlistment in the 45th Infantry

Division before WWII, then

joined the Navy during WWII,

then transferred to the Air

Force immediately following

WWII and served during the

Korean War and the Vietnam

War, retiring after serving over

22 years.

St. Elmo Wilde’s flag will be

flown on the final day of the

Homecoming. The Saint served

in the Army National Guard.

He was an active member of

the Pawnee Indian Veterans

Organization, serving as the

President. He was also a noted

Arena Director in Pawnee and

at other Indian celebrations

across the country.

Each evening’s activities

begin at 7:30 p.m. On

Thursday, usually termed

Indian Night, the activities are

light, giving everyone a chance

to meet and greet old and new

friends. The Tiny Tots contests

for boys and girls highlight the

evening’s activities. Prizes

Nation’s Diabetes Program.
