The fishing dock was commissioned to be built by the Business Committee of the Sac and Fox Nation in August of this year and was completed on November the 29th 2023. All proceeds for the project were derived from the American Rescue Plan Act. This type funding is very instrumental in community development projects such as this one. We feel this amenity will bring value and access to this beautiful natural resource. Before the construction of the dock, it was difficult for the elderly and handicapped to take advantage of the activities located at the lake. We now hope that everyone will be able to enjoy its beauty, and the activities that the Veteran ‘s Lake is known for. The Sac and Fox Nation believes that an investment in the community is an investment in its people. We sincerely hope that this fishing dock will provide lasting enjoyment, and memories for years to come.,” stated SFN Economic Development Director Doug Swinney. (Photo Provided) Letter to Chief Randle Carter Nov. 25, 2023 Dear Principal Chief Randle Carter, I wanted to share my excitement and gratitude with you and the Sac & Fox Nation about what I witnessed at the Chicago Blackhawks game in Chicago Illinois, November ’22. It was your tribal members on ice and present for the honoring of the Chicago Blackhawks Native/Indigenous Peoples recognition night. This made me swell with pride, as not only a proud member of the Caddo Nation, but also how they represented the peoples of the Sac & Fox Nation, and all of Indian country. Your tribal members did a fantastic job, and they did it with absolute class! The next day following the game, I had the pleasure/coincidence of sitting in the airplane waiting area with the same members I saw on the ice the night before because we shared the same flight back to OKC. I have been told I have never met a stranger, because I talk to everybody, and the airport was no exception. Because I am horrible with names, I will not attempt to slander anyone’s name, but I walked up to who I believed was the organizer/group leader and began to chat with him. I told him I was at the Blackhawks game the night before and as a member of the Caddo Nation, I thought they represented all of Indian Country with utmost class and wanted to shake his hand. He thanked me and promptly introduced me to a few trib- al elders who were veterans of foreign wars and I thanked them for their service as well. I told him I worked for the Air Force and was aware of the cool thing they were doing with the dedication of the helicopter on location at Sac & Fox land. Without a second delay, this gentleman presented me with a coin commemorating this great event. As someone who has worked for the Air Force for many years, “being coined” as we call it, was an unbelievable experience because you always remember by who what it was for and where it took place. Now this coin is on full display for everyone to see in my coin display at Tinker. Not only was the coin cool, but this same gentleman was going to literally give me the shirt off his back which the Blackhawks charities produced to celebrate the event also. I told him I appreciated his generosity but would gladly pay for one through the Blackhawks charities website. When we were parting ways to our assigned seats on the plane, your members cordially invited me to come up and view the monument in Stroud, and as an aviation geek I greatly appreciated this gesture and will be up there soon. My family trip was packed with great moments, but the one I will always look back on fondly is meeting and speaking with your tribal members and what great and selfless people the Sac & Fox are! Thank you, Travis Garen Special Governing Council January 13, 2024 10 a.m. line requirements for museums and federal agencies to inventory and identify Native American human remains and cultural items in their collections. “The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act is an essential tool for the safe return of sacred objects to the communities from which they were stolen. Among the updates we are implementing are critical steps to strengthen the authority and role of Indigenous communities in the repatriation process,” said Secretary Deb Haaland. “Finalizing these changes is an important part of laying the groundwork for the healing of our people.” Enacted in 1990, NAGPRA, which is administered by the National Park Service, requires museums and federal agencies to identify Native American human remains, funerary items, and objects of cultural significance in their collections and collaborate with Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations to repatriate them. “NAGPRA is an important law that helps us heal from some of the more painful times in our past by empowering Tribes to protect what is sacred to them. These changes to the Department’s NAGPRA regulations are long overdue and will strengthen our ability to enforce the law and help Tribes in the return of ancestors and sacred cultural objects,” said Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland. “The new NAGPRA final rule is the result of many months of nation-to-nation consultation, collaboration across the Department and federal family. It represents an all-of-government approach to respecting and strengthening our Indigenous connections, enhancing our nation-to-nation relationships, and fully upholding our trust and treaty responsibilities,” said Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Shannon Estenoz. In October 2022, the Interior Department published a proposed rule for public comment and received 181 individual submissions that yielded over 1,800 specific comments. The final regulations incorporate input from all comments, especially those from Tribes and NHOs to the maximum extent possible. The final rule makes a number of changes, including: • Strengthening the authority and role of Tribes and NHOs in the repatriation process by requiring deference to the Indigenous Knowledge of lineal descendants, Tribes and NHOs. • Requiring museums and federal agencies to obtain free, prior and informed consent from lineal descendants, Tribes or NHOs before allowing any exhibition of, access to, or research on human remains or cultural items. • Eliminating the category “culturally unidentifiable human remains” and resetting the requirements for cultural affiliation to better align the regulations with congressional intent. • Increasing transparency and reporting of holdings or collections and shedding light on collections currently unreported under the existing regulation. • Requiring museums and federal agencies to consult and update inventories of human remains and associated funerary objects within five years of this final rule. City of Shawnee Announces Native Homeless Alliance The City of Shawnee, Okla. has announced the local Native Homeless Alliance has made significant progress within the first few months since its creation.

The Alliance’s effort evolved from the discovery that 31% of Shawnee’s homeless population is Native American, in contrast to the 13% of Shawnee residents who are tribal members. In collaboration with the City of Shawnee’s Homeless Program, the Alliance set a goal of decreasing Native American homelessness by 50% ahead of July 2024. As of November 2023, the Alliance has already cut the Native American homelessness rate in Shawnee to 22%. Over the coming months, the Alliance will continue to work with the Shawnee Homeless Program to identify and address the needs of tribal members. As part of the Shawnee Homeless Roundtable, which includes the Native Homeless Alliance as well as other non-profits, service providers, and religious institutions, the City of Shawnee Homeless Program relies primarily on volunteers and donations. Community involvement is key to ending homelessness.

Chief Randle Carter’s Address To The Nation Cont. From Pg. 1 council action as it relates to the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2008 the Assistant Secretary of the Interior – Indian Affairs issued a federal corporate charter that empowers the Sac and Fox Nation to positively economically impact the Nation. Due to the BIA’s Regional Office rejection of the legitimacy and validity of the Charter, we formally met in-person on December 5, 2023 with Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Bryan Newland seeking clarification on the Department’s official position concerning the validity of the Charter and respectfully urged the Department to confirm that the Nation’s charter is valid. We are now awaiting a written response from the Assistant Secretary. For future updates, I am encouraging my fellow Business Committee members to write about important information as it arises. Be safe and be well. schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Education. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announced the renewal of the Fund, which had been inactive for decades, at the 2022 White House Tribal Nations Summit. This investment will allow the Fund to continue its efforts to undertake projects for the direct benefit of students attending Bureau of Indian Education schools. “We have worked closely with the National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education since Secretary Haaland announced the renewal of the nonprofit last year, and we’re pleased to see the progress the board has made so far,” said Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland. The Fund’s mission is to promote educational opportunities through increasing the available resources by bringing together revenue from philanthropic, private and public sectors. This investment will measurably improve the academic and life outcomes for students and will support the Bureau of Indian Education’s mission of delivering a culturally relevant, high-quality education, which includes Native language revitalization efforts. “The Fund aims to be a catalyst to support the transformation of the BIE into a model of Indigenous Education and exemplar of what education can embody for Native American youth,” said Kara Bobroff, chair of the National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education board of directors. “The Fund’s work is grounded in ‘re-imagination,’ meaning our priority is to ensure culture, language and student wellbeing are at the forefront of every student’s educational journey.” Happy January Birthday Elders!

For some of us, they lie dormant within our bodies. They are looking for a way out. God gave us these beautiful languages. All of us hold them in a sacred manner within. There is no such thing as an Indian person who cannot speak Indian. Our language programs find these languages within our bodies. They bring them out through our mouths and deliver them to their rightful resting places within our hearts.
