Youth Council

August 2021

Reel Mentors event provides learning and fun
Becci Sullivan
District 2 Council Rep

On Saturday, June 26th
District 2 collaborated
with the Reel Mentors
Program founders Ronald Suverkrubbe, Ponca
Tribal member and owner
of Critter U, and Rashad
Evans, Hall of Fame
mixed martial artist, to
provide a fishing event
for our district youth at
Standing Bear Lake off of
138th and Fort in Omaha, NE. Many of the Reel
mentor representatives
traveled from Florida to
attend the event and even
brought a few youth from
the FL area to experience
life in Omaha and fishing in Nebraska. Also in
attendance were many
of the Osni Ponka youth
council members to serve
as mentors for the day.
The group met in the
morning to provide fishing education for the
youth. They learned how
to tie different fishing
knots, how to cast, and
about fishing techniques.

The youth were able to
have casting contests and
see fish up close to better understand the sport.
Once the group was finished with donuts and the
education session, they
walked down to the pier
to show their new skills
with their mentors. After
fishing for a couple of
hours, the group reconnected at the pavilion for
a grill out and the kids
were able to play games
and hang out with their
mentors. In addition to
the fishing, learning, and
playing, the participants
had the opportunity to
engage with champions
Rashad Evans and Houston Alexander. Their stories provide meaningful

Ponca Tribe OFNebraska

examples for youth of the
power of goals, discipline,
effort, and the ability
to cope with stress and
pressure. Both gentlemen
are committed to “giving
back” and strengthening our communities and
empowering our youth.

According to Ponca
member Ronald Suverkrubbe, “the goals of the
Reel Mentors programs
are simple ... to teach kids
how to fish and provide
each child with a mentor
they can talk to about
education, life ... and of

The Reel Mentors collaboration made the day successful for our D2 Ponca
youth, with Scheels providing the fishing poles
for each youth to take
home. D2 Tribal Council
provided the food, tackle
boxes with goodies, and
the prizes for the youth
contests.

Youth Council

Youth Council attends Unity Conference MENTORS:

Collaboration
teaches
outdoor skills

Maci Schott

This July, the Osni
Ponka Youth Council
attended their very
first Unity Conference.
Chairwoman Maci
Schott traveled with
members Ben Schott,
Cami Schott, Sofia
Hegstrom, and Taya
Lehman to Dallas, Texas. They were chaperoned by the Osni
Ponka Youth Council advisor, Rebecca
Sullivan, and Ponca
member, Candy Schott.
At the conference our
Ponca Youth Council
members learned about
native pride, raising
awareness on important
topics that are affecting
our native youth, and
heard from numerous
guest speakers. Their
favorite guest speaker
was Lauren Schad. Lauren is 26 years old, and
she is a member of the
Cheyanne River Sioux
Tribe. Lauren is a professional volleyball player
for a team in France. She
shared her experience
about teaching others
about her culture, being
a minority, persevering through school, and
accomplishing goals as
a young native. She is a
Nike N7 Ambassador
and has a line coming
out early this month. Our
members loved hearing
sáton

continued from page 4

about her commitment
as a young Native athlete in school and raising
awareness on the MMIW
epidemic. Another highlight from the trip was
being exposed to various cultures and traditions in other tribes. The
Youth Council members
especially enjoyed learning about other regions
around the United States.
At this conference,
youth spoke from the
Great Plains, Midwest,
Northeast, Northwest,
Pacific, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southern Plains, Southwest,
and Western regions. It
was great for our Youth
Council members to hear
what different Youth
Councils are doing, their
perspectives, and about
life in their tribes. Our

Youth Council members
have even learned that
they can stay in touch
with everyone at Unity
through a new app called
“Unity Wellness Warrior”. Our members have
downloaded this app and
through it, they can learn
about culture, language,
traditional dishes, project planning, financial
fitness, and more. This
will allow our tribe’s
Youth Council to stay in
touch and communicate
with other youth leaders
around the United States.
Together, we hope to
continue to raise awareness on important issues
and inspire future leaders
to be anything they set
their minds to.

course, fishing.” The
group hopes to continue
to work with the Ponca
Tribe of NE to provide
more youth with a day
of fishing and fun. The
day’s events were in line
with the group’s motto,
Empowering youth success through mentor-led
learning experiences.
A special THANKS to
Ponca member, Ronald
Suverkrubbe and his
partner, Pam Perry, for
their continued commitment and for allowing
their non-profit, Reel
Mentors Youth Fishing
Program, to be a part
of our D2 Community.
“It was really great to
see our youth enjoying
themselves in nature,
fishing, laughing, talking, playing, and having
a wonderful time without
electronics!” said D2
Tribal Council Rep, Becci
Sullivan.

Ponca Health Services presents on summer storm preparedness
On Thursday, July 22nd,
the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska hosted a Summer
Severe Weather preparedness event. Staff presented
on how to make an
emergency plan for severe
weather, and talked about
assembling an emergency
kit for these scenarios.
In-person and virtual
attendees were invited to
pick up some basic emergency kit supplies, and
all attendees were entered
into a drawing for larger
emergency kit supplies.
Winners of the raffle
included Beth Barger,
Candace Schmidt, Jamie
Lemus, and Tasia Voss.
Make sure that you and
your family are prepared
for summer storms!

After an emergency, you
may not have access to
running water, electricity, or even your home,
and may need to survive

prepared means having
