PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Happy New Year!!!!!!!. To all of our community members. It is my hope and prayer that we can

continue to move our tribe forward in a positive, productive manner. First, I would like to start by

thanking our Creator for our tribal community and for our beautiful Round Valley. Secondly, we

held our latest general tribal election this past November 2018 and congratulations to Ms. Kathleen

Willits and Ms. Rosalie Cordova on their election to tribal council for 4-year terms. Congrats also

to Mr. Robert Whipple on his re-election to serve a term for the next 4 years as well.

The Council has a lot of work to do this year on behalf of the tribe. Our 2 major priorities are economic development and education. We are continuing the work for obtaining our mining permit to

start our tribal aggregate business. We were informed years ago that this endeavor would require

some form of “corporate structure” under the tribe but separate from the tribal council. This work

has already been started and there is more information on this corporate structure in this newsletter. We have held a couple community meetings and we plan on holding more in the future to keep

our community informed of our progress.

In the area of education, we need to re-establish our educational programs to support our tribal

youth from K-12. We also need to re-establish our higher education programs to support our young

men and women going on to higher education. The funding that we receive annually from the BIA

is getting less and less. And, we have more of our community members going on to higher education, which is a good thing. Our tribe needs more resources and funding to assist our community

members as they go into higher education, and we have to make that happen for ourselves. Nobody

else is going to just throw money at our tribe as we need to have a plan and reach out to funding

sources. The funding is out there but the key is to have a tribal education plan for moving our people into higher education. This work will be started this year and we are making it a high priority

for our tribe.

We do have a lot of tribal programs doing some good work for the tribe. It is our goal at the tribal

council level to keep our community informed of these services and the work that is being accomplished. Our goal is to have the Po-e-’kan come out at least quarterly and also to use social media

better to get important information out to the community. Often in these programs we get so busy

that we forget to keep our eyes on the proverbial “big picture”. However, I would encourage all of

our community members and program employees to not lose sight of the bigger picture of where

we want our tribe 5 years down the road, 10 years down the road, even 15-20 years down the road.

After all Indians have always looked 7 generations ahead which translates to looking toward our

future generations. Our children, our grandchildren, our great and great- great grandchildren looking toward them and what we will leave for them as they continue forward with our tribal nation.

pit or for a smoking area as all of our rooms are nonsmoking.

The Hidden Oaks Park had a few upgrades this month, a

new electricity line was installed around the rodeo arena to

the announcer’s booth. An additional line was installed to

the same pole for the next phase of the arena upgrade

which includes lights.

The chutes and the announcer’s booth also got some muchneeded painting and shoring up.

Our softball fields also received a lot of attention with

building up the fields to prevent flooding and washing out.

The Tribe went forward with having landscape and irrigation system installed on both fields.

Trees that fell or were dangerous were removed from the

park, the wood was made available to our tribal elders.

We had a water leak under the old bathrooms that used to

be part of the Reservation School, because the building had

a perimeter foundation and concrete floor the building had

to be demolished to make the repairs and run a new water

line to our Roads Department.

Lighting in and outside of the administration building has

either been fixed or installed. Outdoor lighting and safe

walking paths have been installed to eliminate slippery,

muddy and dark walk ways.

FISCAL DEPARTMENT

Greetings,

My name is Darlene Crabtree the

new Tribal Controller for RVIT. I

have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a major in

Accounting from Sonoma State University. I have about 12 years of experience working in an upper management position and many more

years of experience working with

Tribal Governments.

Due to the lack of a Tribal Controller in the Fiscal Department, the financial reporting and drawdowns were extremely overdue. The Fiscal staff

has been working diligently in getting caught up as well as continuing to

work on day-to-day issues. We are also busy working on end-of-the-year

reporting, such as W-2’s and 1099’s.

The FY 2017 audit is late, and we currently do not have an approved 2017

and 2018 Indirect Cost Proposal. These are my priorities right now.

Also, we currently are operating an accounting software system, Fundware, that is extremely outdated and no longer being supported. Our new

software, AccuFund, will be activated on April 1 st. I am confident that we

will stay on task with converting over to the new accounting system.

Although the Fiscal Department is not fully caught up, we are gradually

getting to that point. I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding

during the catch-up period. Please don’t hesitate to call and/or email if

you have any questions.

PROGRAM MANAGER

Happy New Year!

First and foremost, let me introduce myself. My name is Kathleen Willits

and I have recently been hired to be the Programs Manager for the Tribe. I am

extremely excited to assist the program managers in any way I can be helpful. I

was taught by my Father that as a Tribal member “you are obligated to bring

whatever you do best to your tribe, which is how a tribe stays strong”. I plan to

live here the rest of my life to fulfill my obligation as I promised.

We have over 20 Programs that are over seen by the Tribe. There are a lot

of differences within each program, so I feel lucky to begin in a new year with a

fresh start. We had hit the ground running only to find that we are in limbo as

the Government is in “shut down” mode. This has adverse effects on our funding as a Tribe in various areas. At the time of this writing we are still looking at

a stated “few more weeks” of shut down. We will continue to work on things

that will need to be ready to go once this has passed.

I am also working with the LIHEAP applications and am getting thru

them as fast as I can. I received a few inquiries for Education assistance, and I

am in the process of finding the parameters of how we can help in that area.

I have an open door and mind to any assistance I can provide for our tribal members. I feel as if the future is bright and hopefully, with us all working

together as a Tribe, we will see great things in our lifetimes and leave a solid

legacy for the generations to come.

Who are TEMPORARY LABOR POOL workers:

Temporary Labor Pool workers are those who work part-time, or whose jobs are structured to last only a limited length of

time. Workers are considered “temporary” and therefore the terms “contingent” and “temporary” are often used synonymously and where most companies hire only a few temporary workers at a time.

Department Managers select temporary labor pool applicants as work is available. These employees might fill in for others

who are out on leave (annual, sick, medical bereavement, etc.) to assist in areas with immediate needs (skills), or participate in

special projects.

These employees generally work less than 30 hours per week and are entitled to certain employment benefits (Workman’s

Compensation, etc.).

NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

Fire – Fisheries – Forestry – Agriculture

Happy New Year!

The Natural Resources Department has overcome many of the obstacles that were laid before us in the

beginning of this year. Our Manager, Toni Bettega, has been diligent in her goals that she had set for

herself and our department

To date our crew (which is made up of 7 to 8 men, some of whom have worked for the NRD for more

than 10 years) has completed 12 projects. They are currently working, and we have projects scheduled

thru February of 2019. They are working 40-hour weeks and most of the time in very rough terrain.

Having year around employment for what is normally referred to as “seasonal work” was one of the

goals that was set by our department Manager.

Throughout the year we have also coordinated projects with the Transportation Department, Golden

Oaks Motel, Hidden Oaks Recreational Park, Real Estate Department, THPO and Tribal EPA. Our Equipment has been in use for most of the year and has been profitable even after the maintenance cost that

large equipment can incur.

We are happy to say that our Fire Prevention has been funded for another 10 year, and our CLEO is

currently in the process of attaining the funding for the next 5 years. We are more than halfway

through our Continuous Forest Inventory and our Buffalo are current with their vaccinations and

health check. Administratively, we are up-to-date on all of the reports that are required, and our fiscal

numbers are balanced.

As we walk into 2019, we feel confident that our program will continue to gain momentum and prosper for our community. We are always open to new ideas and thoughts on how we can make improvements to our Natural Resources. Please feel free to stop in and see us. Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm

“Even though the future seems far away,

it is actually beginning right now”

Please remember that our Natural Resources are not guaranteed.

Without your cooperation,

our future generations will not know their beauty and inspiration.

TRIBAL REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT

THE DEPARTMENT

The Real Estate Department’s works hand-in-hand with other tribal departments, focusing on care taking our tribal

lands for our future generations, be it the resources, environment, archaeology or the legal aspect.

Sometimes this office receives complaints about the items

mentioned above. When it is related to tribal laws, they are

asked to contact the Tribal Police. This office also sends a

notice of the contact with the information to the Tribal Police Department to document the issue of concern. Some of

these issues are trespassing, illegal woodcutting, sanitation

problems, etc. You can review the laws and ordinances by

requesting a copy at the Administration Building by filling

out a “information request” form.

There are tribal members who come in with requests and

concerns about allotted lands. They are usually asked to contact the Central Agency Bureau of Indian Affairs in Sacramento. This is because the BIA holds all the records related

to all Round Valley allotted lands. Their staff will manage

the requests with the proper forms and steps. Their names

and contact information is located to the right.

MULTI USE TRAILS

The Tribe has been working with the Mendocino County Office of

Government and Caltrans on a project to construct two walkways.

One from town to the four corners at Highway 162 and the Old

Mill Road, on the westside of the roadway. The other path will be

between Highway 162 and Henderson Lane. Right now it is still

in the planning phase. Once it is complete it will be safer commute

for the pedestrians, animals and drivers.

GIS TRAINING

The Geographical Information System (GIS) is used for

our tribal maps. This year we were able to bring the training home, to the valley. There were four departments that

participated in how to use the program. There was also

training with a GPS unit for gathering our information so

that it can be added to the current system.

In the coming year we are planning to bring more training.

We have scheduled the two classes we had last year because we had more sign-ups than we could include; and

have added five more classes.

Tribal department staff members will be eligible to submit

their information to be accepted for the training.

INTERNS

Over the summer we took part in the Indian Land Tenure Foundation’s

Internship Program. We were able to have 2-positions funded. At the

end of the program we were able to give experience to 3-tribal youths.

The gained hands-on experience in what takes place in the office and

other tribally work related departments; traveled to Sacramento to meet

the Central California Agency staff for the Bureau of Indian Affairs;

took part in the GIS, FEMA and other department trainings.

The Interns also helped start the a Law Library for the Tribe. It consists

of the documents that established the reservation,; statutes and court

cases; compacts & settlements; administrative law and other documents.

We are hoping we can do this again next summer.

TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

There seems to be a large group of people polluting our reservation. Pollution can cause all kinds of reactions to the earth as well as effects to us as humans. The Tribes takes every effort to continue educating its members and non-members, and provides roles for them to assist in. We have encouraged the

community to dispose correctly of their garbage, but yet we still get trash in the creeks. We also encourage no driving through the channels and yet we have roads all over through the creeks that need to be

decommissioned. We educate at the school age level knowing that they will be our future to help save

our environment. Garbage is a threat to our streams the results may include water that is unfit to drink,

massive fish kills, and complete loss of underwater plants. Yet many effects of pollution are more insidious, only becoming clear after toxic substances have been building up in the food chain for many years.

Please let’s ban together and stop this non-sense of laziness!!

The things that belong in a stream are the things that have been flowing into the stream for thousands

or even millions of years. They are things that the plants and creatures in the stream have evolved to

use to their advantage. They include very low concentrations of chemicals like calcium, iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen. They also include things you can see, like bugs, sediment, leaves, twigs, even tree

branches and whole trees. People have been leaving there cars/trucks in the middle of the creeks thinking it’s alright but it’s not though because it can leak oils and leave rusted metal that can harm the fishes

that are present there and even kids that swim there in the summer as well. But Agricultural runoff

from farms and ranches still contains unsavory levels of bacteria, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, excrement, and fertilizers, as well as large amounts of sediment. These pollutants include heavy metals,

DDT, dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), and a number of recently banned pesticides.

The things that don't belong in a stream --things that didn't show up there until human technology began to upset stream ecosystems--are called pollutants. In reality, much of the water that soaks down

into aquifers also eventually finds its way to a stream. Since this last year I have notice a big growth in

garbage along creeks. Dumping impacts our water quality, and make the water look nasty. Fish and other aquatic life depend on the dissolved oxygen. Many of the items that are being dumped by the creeks

can collect water and eventually breed mosquitoes. Items such as old appliances, paint cans, batteries,

fuel and waste oil can leak and contaminate miles of a creek or a stream.

TRIBAL WATER ASSOCIATION

The winter season has arrived, and this time of year Water Treatment Departments throughout the

country almost always get calls of a stronger chlorine taste in their water. And questions on why more

chlorine is added to the water is always asked.

Well, the answer could surprise many, because like many other Water Departments, we usually start

to add less chlorine to our water during this time. But as the water temperature becomes colder, the

chlorine lasts a lot longer in our distribution as it does not dissipate as fast during the warmer months.

Therefore, you may experience a more chlorine taste in your water, especially if you live on or near a

“dead end” on a water system.

And, just a reminder, in the drinking water distribution, adding chlorine and maintaining a residual

amount throughout the water distribution system provides protection against the risk of microbial contamination after treatment.

Below is a brief history of Chlorination taken from the Safe Drinking Water Foundation (SDWF)

website.

The History of Chlorination

Chlorine was first discovered in Sweden in 1744. At that time, people believed that odors from the

water were responsible for transmitting diseases. In 1835, chlorine was used to remove odors from the

water, but it wasn't until 1890 that chlorine was found to be an effective tool for disinfecting; a way to

reduce the amount of disease transmitted through water. With this new find, chlorination began in

Great Britain and then expanded to the United States in 1908 and Canada by 1917. Today, chlorination is the most popular method of disinfection and is used for water treatment all over the world.

Why do we chlorinate our water?

A large amount of research and many studies have been conducted to ensure success in new treatment

plants using chlorine as a disinfectant. A leading advantage of chlorination is that it has proven effective against bacteria and viruses; however, it cannot inactivate all microbes. Some protozoan cysts are

resistant to the effects of chlorine.

In cases where protozoan cysts are not a major concern, chlorination is a good disinfection method to

use because it is inexpensive yet effective in disinfecting many other possibly present contaminants.

The chlorination process is also fairly easy to implement, when compared

to other water treatment methods. It is an effective method in water emergency situations as it can eliminate an overload of pathogens relatively

quickly. An emergency water situation can be anything from a filter

breakdown to a mixing of treated and raw water.

HEAD START

School Readiness Plan

Why is School Readiness Important? Today we know that the first five years of life are critical to a child’s lifelong development.

Young children’s earliest experiences and environments set the stage for future development and success in school and life. Early

experiences influence brain development, establishing the neural connections that provide the foundation for language, reasoning,

problem solving, social skills, behavior and emotional development.

Definition For Round Valley Head Start, School Readiness means that a child enters Kindergarten ready to engage in and benefit

from early learning experiences that best promote a child’s success.

Families, Staff, Child Care, education providers and community partners must work together to provide environments and developmental experiences that promote growth and learning to ensure that all children enter school eager and excited to learn.

Developmental areas for School Readiness are:

Physical Development and Health

Social & Emotional Development

Approaches to Learning

Logic & Reasoning

Language Development

Literacy Knowledge and Skills

Mathematics Knowledge and Skills

Science Knowledge and Skills

Creative Arts Expression

Social Studies Knowledge and Skills

Ancestral Language acquisition/Cultural Studies

School Readiness goals are identified through discussion of priorities and expectations of the local Kindergarten teachers. Identified

readiness goals and expectations for incoming kindergarten students include but are not limited to:

Students show respect for oneself, each other and the classroom.

Students can sit for 10 – 15 minutes in circle time.

Students will learn to share and take turns with classmates.

Students will follow daily routine.

Students can ask an adult for help.

Students will be able to recognize their own name.

Students will hold a pencil and cut with scissors.

Students will know 10 colors, 10 letters, and 5 shapes.

Students will be able to count to 10.

Students will recognize 3 Greetings in Wailiki Language.

Implementation of the identified goals will be achieved through adhering to Head Start Child Development and Early Learning

Framework and the corresponding Domain.

Accelerated school readiness learning opportunities will be supported by the established transition plan and additional transition activities for children entering into Kindergarten. Each child will experience an early entry experience to Kindergarten through Kinder

Visit days. This is a local collaboration designed to enhance the kindergarten experience by the introduction of their new kindergarten teacher, bus driver, principal, lunchroom, daily routine, classroom expectations, and learning activities children will be experiencing before the new school year begins.

Families will receive a personal invitation to join a welcome to Kindergarten Night from the Teacher and Principal. This event will

give the Parents a better understanding of the importance of their role to support their child and to encourage parent participation in

FOSTER GRANDPARENTS

“All you need to join is the ability to give the kind of comfort and

love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future. If you’re

55 or older and want to share your experience and compassion,

you have what it takes to be a Foster Grandparent.”

The Foster Grandparent Program is a program that helps interact elders

and the youth. A lot of children and teens struggle today. This program is

put in place to help pare up an elder who might have the skills or may

have struggled with same life problems that can help mentor and/or tutor

them. This not only helps benefit the youth, but it also greatly benefits our

elders. It gives them something to look forward to and gets them active

and out of the house. We also provide a small stipend to help cover the

costs of volunteering. We also like to give appreciation to our volunteers

by providing appreciation dinners and gifts. To become a volunteer, you

must be 55 and older, be able to pass a physical, and to be able to pass a

background and sex offender check. If you would like to volunteer or have

ROUND VALLEY TRIBAL TANF TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES

The Round Valley Tribal TANF (RVTT) program is one of Round Valley Indian Tribes Social Service Programs; the RVTT program is designed to help eligible low-income Round Valley Indian Tribes tribal families and other eligible Native families move towards self-sufficiency, while promoting the healthiest and

best choices to succeed in life. RVTT program is designed to first stabilize the families living conditions

and then help remove barriers to employment by providing training opportunities, health and wellness training and support, job search and job interviewing training, all designed to assist moving the families from

dependency to independence A lack of career readiness, disabilities, low-literacy and other soft-skill deficiencies can be major barriers for individuals in becoming self-sufficient. “We are helping them realize their

personal goals in life.” The temporary assistance to needy families (TANF) has specific purposes in its statute; provide cash assistance so that a child can be cared for in their own home or a home of a friend or relative, promote job preparation, work and marriage, prevent out of wedlock pregnancies, and encourage twoparent married families.

While we work on stabilizing the family unit by helping them to become self-sufficient through education

and job development we cannot forget to help work on the family’s spiritual and emotional aspects of their

lives as well. It is important that RVTT support the families and help participant parent(s)/guardian(s) be

able to protect and nurture their children in meaningful ways and help them create safe, stable and nurturing

relationships within their homes and with extended family and friends, by promoting protective factors.

Sometimes individuals, particularly young people, who experience poverty and whose material or emotional

needs are not met, lose hope that they will ever be able to realize and achieve their personal goals in life, and

RVTT is here to help them not lose hope, create opportunities to help people succeed. John F. Kennedy

said, “If not us, who? If not now, when?

Round Valley Tribal TANF program works, closely with other Round Valley Indian Tribal programs to help

families weave love, culture and traditions into their homes. Culture and traditions play a very important and

key role in creating healthy and loving children and families.

To: RVIT Tribal Members

From: The Desk of the Executive Director

Happy Holidays and may you all have a blessed New Year. As the year 2018 comes to an end, and

2019 is embarking on us rather quickly, I’m very pleased to report that the Round Valley Indian Housing

Authority (RVIHA) has finally completed the USDA Townhouse project known as “Tribal Winds”. They

have passed the final inspection, and 12 new Tribal Members have been qualified and moved in.

Since the completion of the USDA project, the force account team has been working on and completing several other projects. One project I’m very excited to report is the senior duplexes on Pit River; all the

units were re-roofed and installed with HVAC systems (central heat and air conditioning).

The administrative staff is diligently working on and researching options on the development of 29

new 3- and 4-bedroom rental units located on the 44-acre site called the “Tribal Winds”. We are also planning and researching several options on building homes for the RVIT Community members to purchase and

become proud future home owners.

Other programs that we offer are: Home Buyers Assistance, Housing Rehabilitation, Infrastructure,

Rental Assistance, and Emergencies. Applications are accepted all year.

Respectfully,

Lewis “Bill” Whipple

HEALTH CENTER

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR heathcare provider.

Getting answers to these questions will give you vital information about your heart health and what you can do

to improve it.

1. What is my risk for heart disease?

2. What is my blood pressure? What does it mean for me, and what do I need to do about it?

3. What are my cholesterol numbers? (These include total cholesterol, LDL or “bad” cholesterol, HDL or

“good” cholesterol, and triglycerides.) What do they mean for me, and what do I need to do about them?

4. What are my body mass index (BMI) and waist measurement? Do they indicate that I need to lose weight

for my health?

5. What is my blood sugar level, and does it mean I’m at risk for diabetes?

6. What other screening tests for heart disease do I need? How often should I return for checkups for my heart

health?

7. What can you to help me quit smoking?

8. How much physical activity do I need to help protect my heart?

9. What is a heart healthy eating plan for me? Should I see a registered dietitian or qualified nutritionist to

learn more about healthy eating?

10. How can I tell if I’m having a heart attack?

Be open. When you doctor asks you questions, answer as honestly and fully as you can. While certain

topics may seem quite personal, discussing them

openly can help your doctor find out your chances of

developing heart disease. It can also help your doctor

work with you to reduce your risk. If you already

have heart disease, briefly describe each of your

symptoms. Include when each symptom started, how

often it happens, and whether it has been getting

worse.

Keep it simple. If you don’t understand something

your doctor says, ask for an explanation in simple language. Be especially sure you understand how to take

any medication you are given. If you are worried

about understanding what the doctor says, or if you

have trouble hearing, bring a friend or relative with

you to your appointment. You may want to ask that

person to write down the doctor’s instructions for

you.

TRIBAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

Press Conference: Mendocino County Sheriff Thomas Allman, representatives from the FBI and the Round Valley Indian Tribal Police

Department held a press conference and asked that anyone with information about the disappearance of Khadijah Britton to help. Family and friends of Khadijah were also at the press conference, and they

also asked anybody with information to come forward to help the

family get closure.

Allman said that they do not have any new information regarding the

case at this time, but they will continue to work on any credible leads

they receive. He said the Sheriff’s Office had conducted 80 interviews, searched 20 vehicles, and conducted search warrants throughout the year. There is also currently an $85,000 reward for information about her disappearance. “I want people to understand that

we are not taking this investigation lightly; we are continuing our

investigation,” Allman said.

The sheriff also believes that people in the community have information about Britton, and he encouraged people to come forward if

they did. “If you are listening to this and know something, if you

think you know something, if you believe you know where she is,

there is every opportunity in the world for you to contact us. We will keep you anonymous; we need to bring closure for the family and the community.”

Representatives from the FBI and our Tribal Police both said they are working with the Sheriff’s Office on the

case, and they asked that anybody from the public who has information come forward.

FBI Assistant Special Agent Sid Patel from the San Francisco office said the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office is

the primary investigative service due to state law, but the FBI is assisting the Sheriff’s Office with whatever help it

needs. “We are fully dedicated to finding justice for Khadijah Britton, and we are committed to this,” he said.

On the night of Feb. 7, Britton and her former boyfriend, Negie Fallis IV, reportedly argued outside her friend’s

home and Britton left with Fallis at gunpoint, according to the Sheriff’s Office. No one has seen her since, and the

Sheriff’s Office views Fallis as the primary suspect in the case.

No charges have been filed against Fallis related to her disappearance. However, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s

Office said that Fallis was sentenced on Dec. 4, 2018, to four years in state prison for being a felon in possession of

a firearm.

Mendocino County law enforcement held several searches for Britton in the county during the past few months but

have been unsuccessful in finding her. The Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help in finding additional information.

The Sheriff’s Office also announced it is now using the WeTip program in Mendocino County. WeTip provides a

hotline number (1-800-732-7463) which anyone can call if he or she has information about any crime or potentially

hazardous condition. All callers to WeTip remain anonymous, and the WeTip operator will take the information

and pass it on to appropriate law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office said that anyone with information about Britton

could call WeTip if they preferred.

CULTURAL FOODS

PUT MORE FUN (AND NUTRITION) INTO YOUR LIFE: EAT ACORNS!

Look around you! One of mankind's oldest and most versatile staple

foods is, for some, as close as your front yard!

There was a time that the hills and valleys of Round Valley resounded

with the sound of acorns being pounded in stone mortars. This was a

time when the fruit of the oak tree supported a large population of Yuki,

who had learned how to tap the rich source of nutrients contained in

the acorns. They had the patience for the laborious grinding and leaching processes that were necessary to make the acorns edible.

This year is a particularly heavy-producing year. But each year, there are tons of acorns that go on growing

and dropping to the ground unappreciated by most. They are so plentiful in the fall that the natural population of deer, birds, squirrels, and others can't even begin to eat them all. What a shame more people don't

recognize this yearly bumper crop for the excellent source of nutrition that it is!

You can take advantage of some of this free bounty for yourself. It's a simple matter to harvest a season's

supply of acorns, process them into a coarse meal-like flour, and adapt the flour to your favorite bread, muffin, and cake recipes. Your family can make old-time fun out of collecting acorns. The work, if it can be called

that, goes quickly and, in less than an hour, you should have all the acorns you can readily process at one

time.

[From Beverly Ortiz’s article: Contemporary California Indian Uses for Food of Species Affected by Phytophthora

ramorum; with reference to Karuk/Shasta/Abenake elder, Josephine Peters]

A “good crop” of “acorn” occurs every fourth year, so Josephine gathers more than a year’s supply. We always

use tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus) when it’s plentiful. Dry acorns in a box near the stove for a month or so. If

gathered before the rains, they’ll already be somewhat dry, and can be laid rather thickly in the box. Turn the nuts

once or twice daily, whenever you think about it, so that the acorns in the middle don’t mold. Crack the nuts with

a hammer, butt end up. If you crack the nuts while they’re fresh, they turn an unsightly, gray color due to bruising.

When dry, the nuts virtually pop out of the shell. Use last year’s nuts with a few of the fresh to “boost up the

taste.” With tanoak the skin comes right off, so there’s no need to winnow. With white oak, the skin stays on. You

have to break it off. Run the nuts through a Miracle Flour Mill, using the smallest gauge, so the flour will be as fine

as possible. When fine, the flour will “soak” (leach) in a couple of hours. When the flour has big chunks, it takes

longer to soak.

Prop a relatively finely woven twined basket atop a colander in your kitchen sink. Place a cloth atop the basket,

and the acorn flour atop this, as much as an inch and a half deep depending on the amount of acorn to be leached.

The cloth must be “soft,” or water won’t leach through it. Josephine uses an old flour sack. A sheet isn’t soft

enough. Drip tepid water through the flour for about two hours. It removes a yellowish-colored oil and speeds up

the leaching process. If only cold water were used, leaching would take all day. In place of a water break, Josephine changes the position of her faucet from time to time, so the flour will leach evenly. As needed, after two

hours, she lets cold faucet water drip through the acorn flour until not a hint of bitterness (tannin) remains. People

who leave the bitterness in turn others against ever eating it. I always take all mine out. Cook in a stainless-steel pot,

stirring with a big, wooden spoon lest the acorn be burned on the bottom. Never use aluminum, as acorn will react with the metal. A cup of acorns will make a quart of mush. The cooked “acorn soup” should have a “pretty

thick,” mush-like consistency. When people prefer it thinner, they can always add water to it.

SUDDEN OAK DEATH: There is no evidence to suggest that ingesting products

(e.g. food, medicine, etc.) from host material that is infected with P. ramorum,

such as nuts, fruits, leaves, or berries, poses a health risk to humans. Related discussion on this topic can be found in Beverly Ortiz’s article; Contemporary California Indian Uses for Food of Species Affected by Phytophthora ramorum

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

SECTION 17

TRIBAL CORPORATION

Article IV: “the Corporation is a legal entity wholly owned by the Round Valley Indian Tribes (RVIT), a federally recognized Indian tribe, but distinct and

separate from the Tribe.”

For several decades, each Tribal Council has been working in the direction of establishing a tribal corporation to manage the economic development of our Tribe. In the last two years, we have initiated the process

for a Section 17 tribal corporation. As with the Health Center and Housing Authority, a tribal corporation

will buffer tribal assets and will be led by an elected board of directors.

To expediate approval, the Tribal Council has chosen to use the federal template for submission. Although

using a template, it will still require an Act of Congress to amend.

(Read the full version of the Charter on the tribal website: https://www.rvit.org)

The Tribal Council would like to ensure that the Charter is reviewed by tribal members. Last year, two

public meetings were held in which the whole of Section 17 was read and reviewed by Tribal Council and

community members. Although our Charter has been reviewed by legal authority, the Tribal Council is

still accepting public input from our members.

Congress created the IRA Section 17 corporation as a tribal business structure when it passed the Indian

Reorganization Act of 1934 (IRA). In authorizing this structure, Congress sought to, "permit Indian tribes

to equip themselves with the devices of modern business organization, through forming themselves into

business corporations.”

The PURPOSE of the RVIT Corporation is “to generate revenue for RVIT to fund and carry out tribal

programs (housing, employment for members, supporting community safety programs, etc.) and the wellbeing of the Tribe.”

The advantages: 1) Preserves tribal assets: The Corporation shall retain RVIT’s immunity. Immunity is

needed to protect tribal revenue that supports the RVIT’s general welfare. 2) No federal income taxes:

Guided by federal court decisions, the IRS has ruled that Section 17 corporations are not required to pay

federal income taxes whether they are operated on or off the reservation. 3) Can issue tax-exempt bonds:

Section 17 corporations can issue these debt instruments if the proceeds are used to finance essential governmental services.

The disadvantages: 1) Inflexible: A Section 17 corporate charter cannot be dissolved or suspended except

by an Act of Congress. It also cannot be amended without approval from the Secretary of the Interior.

Comments may be made to your Tribal Council representatives.
