Nureng 2) Ee Gmscee GEReene VareemEN ane an oide © Es) A) COUNCILMAN SPOTTED BEAR’S GREETINGS SS Tashka’nito’sha Aame, Greetings to All, 1 would like to start by giving my condolences to all those who have recently lost loved ones. Iam also thinking of those who might be struggling or facing a challenging time. I offer encouragement to you. Iwas taught that in the spring time of ‘the year the Earth is pushing up new life, all the grass and growing things are moving and growing like a baby when they are teething, ‘When we say our morning prayers and remember our Earth mother in our prayers it brings relief. Each day we walk on the earth ‘we feel those same feelings too. Sometimes ‘we go through challenges and other times ‘our days are bright with sunshine and calm and peaceful. Our community has alwayss been known to be helpful and encouraging towards each other. ‘We have recently made it through two severe spring storms with so much snow! The first storm was light snow that blew into the cracks and crevasses of everything. High winds caused blowing and drifting and low visibility. It sounds like we got about 30 inches of snow in a two day period in the first storm. The moisture was nice to receive but we all had to hunker down and make it through the storm, The second storm the ground was already starting to ‘warm and thaw. We had no frost in the ground and the wet and heavy snow melted and penetrated into the soil. This will give usa lot of green new growth on the land this spring. Our community members had to once again settle into place and wait it ‘out. We lost power for about 16 hours or so. We were lucky. Others were without power for days and even a week. With ice accumulating on everything the freezing rain touched. Many trees and power poles, as well as power lines were broken. There ‘were stretches in western North Dakota that ‘went for miles and miles with all of their power poles broken and collapsed from the ‘weight of the ice caused from the freezing rain. The wind was severe too during this, storm and I was told we received nearly 30 inches of snow again in the second storm. Fortunately our new community center had aback up generator that powered portions, of the building so community members had a warm place to stay and wait out the storm and power outage. Many things were learned during these storms so we will be even more prepared for severe winter conditions in the future. was out on the land with my children and nieces and nephews this past weekend and seen all of the signs of spring. The ducks and waterfowl were mated up and sitting in the ponds and water holes. The small birds are back and the wild turkeys are courting and in “full regalia” throughout the hills of Twin Buttes. One of the signs of spring I enjoy to see are the beautiful purple crocus flowers. ‘They are the fist flowers to blossom in the spring. [have seen them push up through the snow to tell us spring has arrived. The pastures are filled with little ealves and colts and there are many little red bison calves in the Hans Creek bison pasture, In Mandan language we call bison “pti tkush, the “true animal” or the “real buffalo.” When beef cattle came to this part of the country about 140 years ago, or 50, we had to distinguish between the two. For so many years we have had to travel ‘many miles for basic services. Today we are generating services and making them local, ‘That means more jobs are being created, ‘more opportunities to stay in Twin Buttes. Our elders are cared for and out children are Tooked after and have well-deserved facilities, to participate in their favorite activities. 1 hope we continue to plant trees and get our ‘community to look like Elbowoods again someday with beautiful cottonwood trees and fruit trees our kids and community ‘members can stop by and grab handfuls of healthy snacks right from the land! ‘The fair grounds project which includes an indoor rodeo arena, outdoor rodeo arena, Indian relay race horse track, powwow arbor, RV parking, camp ground, and shower building, will be nearly 100 percent complete by this fall. This area that consists of about 4o acres will serve as an economic stimulus package for our community. We willbe able to host many quality events and rive our economy and local opportunity. (Our children will grow up with these ‘opportunities and learn about horsemanship and engage in our culture. We are the “Home of the Champions,” because a handful of our Twin Buttes cowboys and cowgirls won national ttles and went on to become professionals and make names for a piece about the origin of the “Home of the Champions” ina future newsletter. ‘The Twin Buttes roads department will get a new building and a new location this, summer. Richard “Ricky,” Hank, and Julian have been working out of an old out-dated facility for many years. The old building was moved up from Elbowoods when the River bottom was flooded in the the early 1950's. mn season is upon us! ‘We have many exciting projects to look forward to this season. A big thank you to the members of the MHA tribal business council for supporting our efforts in Twin Buttes to build services and offer local ‘opportunities to our community members. ‘The new building will have everything the roads department will need run a successful roads department.

Have a look at how wonderful they did!!! Wonderful job to all of the students! They all looked so wonderful!!! We started off March with Music Madness with Mrs. Barcena. Students get to vote on the teacher's favorite songs as they were growing up. March oth was an early out day as the teachers had a Professional Development day. In an effort to be proactive and keep our kids safe, Twin Buttes Elementary went virtual for a few days in January. All the students who completed their work on time received an exciting reward on March uth. March 11th the students who did their work got to go to Sky the pictures of the Sky Zone Trip. We are very proud of our students who put in the hard work and got their assignments in on time!! March 14th to March 18th was the Twin Buttes Elementary Spring Break. Everyone here at Twin Buttes Elementary was excited for the break and were able to enjoy family and friends. Twin Buttes Elementary received a special gift on Friday, March 25th from the Enerplus Group from Dickinson ND. Enerplus Inc. purchased a year subscription of the Imagi Native Roots Magazine for each of our students, This magazine is written by six native women and includes things like Elder's Corner, Imaginative Gallery, Student Spot Light, Current Events, Indigenous History, Quotes from our students and much more. A special thanks to Enerplus for their investment in our students. Parent-Teacher Conferences were held March 29th & March 30th.

The day seeks to honor the memory of Hannah Harris and commemorates all of our ‘Missing and Murdered relatives. Community members came together to start the day in prayer for our relatives closest to the pain. Our prayers are stronger together and together is ‘how we strengthen our community against this epidemic. Care packages went out to familes ‘and survivors. There was a potluck held in the evening to begin the conversation in our ‘community. Collectively we identified some creative ways to strengthen community.

Our BIA 22 heading west of Twin Buttes will get paved this summer to the Mossett Bay (Charging Eagle Bay) turn off. BLA 22 East to Beaver Creek will also get paved. There are many families down in the Beaver Creek area that have been waiting for a paved road for many years. Our fair grounds thru-roads, and parking lots will also get paved this summer, The round homes are scheduled for completion this summer. The homes are about 85 percent complete and are waiting finish work in the interior as well as some final grading and landscaping in the area. About six other homes are being constructed this summer as well. Fort Berthold Housing Authority (FBHA) has teamed up with the Twin Buttes segment and is building six new multi-bedroom homes this summer. Five of them with attached garages will be built near the school and one will be built in west housing. The new Clinic and ambulance garage is near completion and is set for opening this summer. A Twin Buttes assisted living and elders care campus is being planned for construction and as soon as we have a location pinned down construction will begin. The Bison handling facility is near completion and we will soon be able to work and manage the bison herd in the new facility. An elk pasture is planned out near the Mahto Bay area of Twin Buttes and will get fenced as soon as a pasture lease is secured for the project. One of the largest projects on the list to begin is an unprecedented Twin Buttes High School. Planning will soon begin to construct a high school. We have never had a high school and after 8th grade our children have historically left the community to seek a high school education off the reservation at nearby boarder town schools. Our children travel up to 80-90 miles round trip per day to attend the nearest high schools. Some of these schools have no bus routes forcing parents to drive these distances each day to get their high school age kids to school. The plan will be to begin construction on the new high school the spring of 2023. More housing will be planned for 2023 construction. A large 25-35 homes subdivision initiative will be planned with all the infrastructure laid for a new housing area. With the development of new services and jobs being created will MAY 27-29 PARSHALL JUNE 24-26 WHITE SHIELD JULY 8-10 MANDAREE JULY 15-17 TWIN BUTTES AUGUST 5-7 LITTLE SHELL AUGUST 12-14 require more homes to be built to accommodate the growing community. Manufacturing of some kind will also be planned for job creation and more local opportunities. We want our children to graduate high school, attain advanced college degrees and vocational training and consider returning home to twin buttes to start their careers and families because there will be an opportunity here for them to come home to. One of the projects I am most excited about is a renewable energy grid system in twin Buttes. We will incorporate solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources to generate electricity and work towards energy independence in our area. With the global uncertainty of climate shift and climate change it is important that our tribe and community move further towards self reliance and food and energy independence. It is a long term goal and vision. We will get where we are going and we will move in the direction we point our feet. There are many exciting initiatives to look forward too. I look forward to a healthy and productive season ahead of us. It is important to be kind and encouraging towards one another as we navigate towards an uncertain but promising future. I look forward to writing and updating more in a future edition of the Twin Buttes Times. Thank you to all those who submitted and made a contribution to this edition. Aho, a’taro’nito’sh. Thank you, that is all for now.
