Hay Draw Cafe Manager, Lindsey Fox-Sepeta along with her assistant Megan Danks are

both optimistic about running this cafe for our customers.

Its been a long wait but things are

slowly coming together. According to

Lindsey Fox-Sepeta, she states; “Once I

get my stove going and my vents put up

then the real cooking will begin. For

now, I’ve been using a hot plate to get

hot foods out there for our customers.

On the menu the day this photo was taken

was home made slush burgers, onions rings

and potato salad. Her breakfast meals are

very tasty, I can honestly say that because I

bought breakfast at the Hay Draw Cafe.

Once the stove and vents are up than

Lindsey will be able to offer more home

made meals and extend her menu.

Its awesome to know we have a cafe here in

our community, where people can come and

enjoy a meal or have a sandwich. There

isn’t anyplace to eat otherwise in Mandaree

so it’s great to know that we have

a cafe a store and more.

For now customers who come in the

store can have sandwiches that are

made fresh on a daily basis and stored in

the fridge for customers to buy.

From there they sell all kinds of fresh

wrapped sandwiches and fountain drinks.

Councilwoman Turner-Lone Fight Update

I would like to say Greetings, to all

relatives and everyone far and near.

Before I begin this month’s update. I

would first of all like to extend my

deepest sympathy to the family and

relatives of Diane (Yellow Wolf)

Mischel and the family and relatives of

Linda Baker and Davis Monogram and

Karen Fettig family and relatives on the

passing of their loved ones. I would like

to extend my condolences to other segments who have lost

their loved ones. Our reservation has experienced a lot of

losses of our people and relatives, we all need to pray for our

relatives and families who have lost their beloved ones.

As I begin this month’s update, I am very thankful and

grateful to all the people in our community who have been so

ever helpful and supportive as far as our events go. Especially

the West Segment employees those who are very loyal and

helpful, it helps me a lot.

As our people gathered to witness the

ground blessings of our new upcoming

buildings, this will surely be a memorable

day. Pictured to your left is “Swift Eagle”, aka

James G. Johnson, who blessed the fair

grounds with a prayer and offered tobacco

in each of the directions. Other ground

blessings to take place were the clinic

blessing and the assisted living blessing

were done by Lyda Bearstail. Ground

blessings for all four buildings were done by

James G. Johnson and Lyda Bearstail. After the ground

blessings were done we all gathered back to the Water Chief

Hall for a meal

that was provided

by

the

West

Segment staff. The

day was perfect to

do these ground

blessings. I am so

grateful for the

way

the

day

turned out.

The Architect Company “Brunton” was available to take

questions and suggestions from the community members.

The construction managers were also available to

introduce themselves to the community and to hear what

our vision is for the future. Burke will be constructing our

fairgrounds and A & P will be constructing our clinic,

assistant living and activity center. We are hoping the four

buildings; Swift Eagle, James G. Johnson, Activity Center;

People of the Willow, Clinic, Assistant Living, and the

fairgrounds to be completed in fall of 2024. I was very

happy to see our people come out to witness this ground

blessing. We had a great turn out.

On another note, West Segment will be hosting a Trunk &

Treat on Halloween. Starting off with a parade at noon,

the truck and treat will take place at outside the parking

lot of the Water Chief Hall from 1pm to 4pm. I want to

encourage all community members and entities to

participate for our children’s enjoyment, to help make this

possible I have requested administrative leave for that day

to participates. The Halloween carnival will start from 5-7

and the masquerade will be 7-9pm. The Mandaree

celebration committee will be selling concessions.

I am very happy to announce we will be holding a soft

opening for our Minot thrift store; Twice As Nice on

October 27 from 1-3pm the location is 1933 S. Boardway

Suite 3 in Minot. The phone number is 701-839-3645. A

bus will be available for people who want to attend. Those

interested in attending are asked to call 759-3377 to

reserve your seat before October 26th.

Remember Election day is November 8th at the Water

Chief Hall. A bus will also be provided for the Dunn

County residences who need a ride to Manning to cast

your vote.

The bus will depart from the Elder’s building at these

times; 10am, 1pm, and 4pm. People are asked to please

call 759-3377 to reserve your seat.

I and the staff here will do our best to keep you all inform

on what’s going on in our community in our upcoming

West Segment News. Thank you for being a good reader.

It’s great to see them patching up the road here as you drive into the streets

of Mandaree. This road had pot holes in it and was very rough to drive over.

Now it will be smooth with no rough patches. The road being fixed is on

I would like to let our readers know that I have

had a virus.

The computer works good now and hopefully it

won’t catch another virus. Things happen like this

Wolf Chief Store & More!

What a site to see their chips shelves and other isles were

nice and full for incoming customers who entered the Wolf

Chief Store & More. The Management at the store are

working on keeping all the shelves fully stocked.

Most of the shelves were full of can goods, and all the items

you would see in any grocery store. It was great to see that

if you needed something you wouldn’t have to drive thirty

some odd miles to get it. You could find it at our store.

As I walked up and down the isles of the Wolf Chief Store & More I

was amazed at what they had to offer to their customers. They had

freezers full of various meats, and they also offered produce for

sale. At the end of this isle they have stacked cases of all kinds of

sodas. You just have to take time to go to the Wolf Chief Store &

More and I am sure you will find what you need.

Your last stop when you’re done shopping, this is

where you pay for your groceries. They have

baskets you can use for your groceries but they do

have to get some grocery carts so it’s easier for

some customers who want to buy more.

Braves. As part of the team fundraiser, North Country Oil a service company who provides services donated

their time and food truck to sell burgers and hot dogs for our Warriors Team.

Mike Cargill says; “So we are a service company based out of Parshall, North Dakota. We do have a

mentoring young men program that is part of North Country’s life style. As well as we love to help and

donate in our community and the surrounding communities. In communities last year, we fed well over

10,000 people’.

The Mandaree Warriors thanked North Country Oil and the West Segment Office for their donation of their

time, services and food in support of their fundraiser for an end of the Season team trip to Bismarck, North

Letters to the Editor

My name is Lisa DeVille, I am a citizen of the Three

Affiliated Tribes, and a resident of Mandaree, ND which is in

the heart of the Bakken Play. My family and I experience the

negative impacts of living in a community that has an

enormous amount of oil and gas extraction and associated

activities. Not only are we immediately harmed by poor

health and a damaged environment, but we are also

impacted by the effects of climate change, including severe

weather, drought, and fires.

As you know, Methane is an eighty-six times more powerful

greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. The oil and gas

industry’s methane and other air pollution are fueling the

climate crisis and threatening the health and safety of my

(and others’) communities.

Routine flaring is a major source of methane and other

pollutants and must be eliminated. Colorado and New

Mexico have already done this at the state level and EPA

should end this dangerous and wasteful practice. North

Dakota has a flaring intensity of 7% - 7 times greater than

that of the next highest state which is New Mexico at 1%.

Please, help North Dakota reduce our flaring intensity. We

know it can be done and as our state government is unwilling

to do this, you must step in.

All wells, regardless of their Potential to Emit should have

monthly Leak Detection and Repair inspections. My

community is directly and immediately impacted by the toxic

pollutants that are emitted alongside methane and we are

also facing the terrible consequences of these greenhouse

gases being emitted by the effects of global warming.

In addition to eliminating routine flaring, the EPA should

require more, regular monitoring at oil and gas facilities,

increase the number of ambient air monitoring equipment

and place them in locations that give people real data on the

air that they are breathing, assist tribal communities who

want to see their tribal government create a Tribal Air

Monitoring System, and include community or third-party

air monitoring, including drone sampling, into its

regulations.

Uphold your responsibility to protect all people and

remember the Trust responsibility the federal government

has to tribal citizens.

In closing please:

1. Finalize the initially proposed rule as soon as possible.

2. Issue a supplemental rule to:

1. End the wasteful and dangerous practice of

routine flaring at oil and gas facilities.

2. Require monthly Leak Detection and Repair of all

wells regardless of their Potential to Emit.

3. Install more monitors, assist and support

government and community groups in

developing air monitoring programs, and

incorporate

emission

monitoring

results

generated by community groups and other third

parties into its standards.

Thank you for your time and attention

US Senate approved NEPA Phase 1 Rulemaking

Congressional Review Act (CRA)

Recently the US Senate approved a Congressional Review

Act (CRA) regarding the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) Phase 1 rulemaking. This CRA sponsored by

Senators Hoeven and Cramer would, if passed by the US

Congress, present serious threat to the federal environmental

review process and efforts to tackle climate change and

environmental injustice through NEPA.

As a citizen of the MHA nation, I know that NEPA is often

the only opportunity tribal citizens get to learn about and

make a public comment on a proposed federal project on

tribal lands. This is an environmental justice issue as well as

a climate change issue. My people are already suffering

poor physical and environmental health due to all the

extraction going on around us, we need to be able to weigh

in on future federal projects so that we can protect

ourselves, our environment, and future generations. Then,

because of climate related issues such as fires, drought,

severe storms we are impacted again.

The Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) in chapter

12 concluded: “Climate change increasingly threatens

Indigenous communities’ livelihoods, economies, health,

and cultural identities by disrupting interconnected social,

physical, and ecological systems.”

I am disappointed that my Senators choose to ignore the

needs of me, my family, and my people by sponsoring this

terrible legislation. I hope that it will die in The House.

This CRA is a terrible piece of legislation. NEPA is critical

to getting projects reviewed for impacts to land and

people, particularly on tribal lands. NEPA language needs

to be strengthened not hamstrung!

Remembering Diane…..

Diane Judy Mischel “Plum” was born January 11, 1969 in Watford City to Hazel White Owl and Raymond Yellow Wolf Sr.

Diane was a child of the Metzeedoga Clan and a member of the Dripping Dirt Clan.

Diane met her husband Robert Mischel at Box Elder Job Corp in Nemo, South Dakota in 1988. Robert and Diane married on

August 6, 1989. From this union, they had four children; Robert Jr., Malachi, Angelwea and Daniel. Her most precious

treasure were her grandchildren, Bella Beans, Malaya and Ella Mae.

In Diane’s early years she loved to ride bike around Mandaree with all her relatives and friends and she really enjoyed

playing kick-the-can at night in the neighborhood. Diane loved to babysit and earn money and then spend her earnings on

the kids buying them candy and Christmas Caroling. While in high school Diane was very active and participated in the

Indian Club, Pep Band, Marching Band, Jazz Band, and defensive tackle where she was acknowledged by USA Today and

Seventeen Magazine as being one of four girls to play football for Mandaree (17th in the country).

Life Baptist Church in Mandaree. Diane loved to help people, she especially had a soft heart for kids and loved to donate to

different charities for kids. Throughout her life time she adopted many people as her own and helped them out anyway she

could. Diane will be remembered as a mother. She always did what she could for her children. She once opened a lemonade

stand called Lil’ Rascals. She loved getting to know someone, sharing life stories and experiences when ever it seemed to it

Obituary

Linda Baker, Awa-XXidi Mea (Light Woman); was born August 8, 1942 at home near Elbowoods on the Fort Berthold Indian

Reservation. She attended grade school and high school at boarding schools, since the policy of the federal government at

that time was to get Indians off the reservation and integrate them into white society. While that was the apparent goal, the

legacy of this period of colonialism was a fracturing of tribal relations to this day we are still dealing with. When speaking

of her boarding school servitude, Linda was never proud. In fact, it was part of what drove her to eventually go to college so

she could teach Indian kids on the reservation, rather than away from their families. She graduated from Flandreau Indian

School in 1960, then had a period of time where she worked in clerical roles for the Indian health service and the three

affiliated tribes. When she was an Indian health service employee, she lived in Rockville, Maryland where her two sisters

lived, they also worked for the Indian health service. In 1980, she decided that she wasn’t really going to get anywhere in

life unless she got herself an education. She attended college at Dickinson State College in Dickinson, ND, with a major in

English and a minor in German. She would talk of someday going to Germany, but she never actually got to make that trip.

She graduated in 1984, after having done her student teaching in the spring semester of 84 at Dickinson’s Trinity high

school. Teaching English would become her passion for the next 30 years. Her students were always very important to her,

and their success and learning was the driving force behind her instruction. It always caused her no end of grief when one

of her students passed away. To the extent that she was able to, she attended all of their services until her later years of life

when she said it was just too difficult to continue to attend those services. She loved all her students, even the bad seeds

(they know who they are), and she was always happy and proud of them. She always enjoyed her family, including all of her

siblings. She was very close to her brother Lyle, they were two years apart. She had two sisters still living in Maryland so

naturally she spent most of her time with her two brothers and their families here on Fort Berthold. Since she was the

youngest in the family, they referred to her as “baby”, and they called her that for the rest of their lives. When she finished

college, she lived in Mandaree for several years until her parents needed help on the ranch, particularly her father. While

she wasn’t a conventional ranch hand, she never backed away from it. During the week she would cut hay with the swather,

her brothers would come and bale it on the weekends. She was also accomplished fixing fence, and she earned her PhD

(post hold digger) at a young age. Linda and her brothers helped on the ranch for many years, until her brother Lyle passed

away in 1990, and her father passed away just a few years later. Her brother Milton passed away in 1998. At that point it

was just Linda and her mother living on the ranch, they kept the ranch because she could not part with them after Philip

passed away. These cattle would stay on the ranch until her mother passed away in 2002. Linda and her brothers would

joke all the time about how difficult it was to be ranchers and cowboys. This was especially true when they fed cattle in the

winter. One of the things that always vexed her about being a rancher was when other ranchers could not fix fence and take

care of their animals. These animals then would invariably end up on her ranch, and she would have to find out who they

belonged to or she would have to drive them out. Just a few days before her death, she was a passenger in a pickup moving

at high speed across the prairie, chasing six horses. While the people in the backseat were justifiably terrified, she enjoyed

herself and was even laughing. She once had her picture taken while she was cutting hay, by a mashii-mia photographer

from some university in Canada. This picture is hanging on the wall at this university in Canada because it was emblematic

of the kind of work Indian women never shied away from. While she was a rancher, she was also named English teacher of

the year for the state of North Dakota, and she collaborated with the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commissioner, Cheryl

Kulas to write a curriculum. She was proud of this, but she would not brag about it. She continued with education

throughout her life, eventually earning enough credits for a master’s degree in education. While she was then qualified to

be an administer, she had no desire to do so, holding most administrators in a particular sort of disdain. For her, it was all

about the students. In her later years, she was heard to describe her job as the best kind of job anyone could have.

When it was pointed out that she was retired, she would then describe her “job”. She would describe a day with her cat

Diego, her trips to the casino, then having supper with her cat when they would read together or watch TV or play. When

she was told that wasn’t really a job, then she would say that was why it was the best job anyone could have. She enjoyed

going to pow wows, traveling to Las Vegas (or other destinations), and spending time with her family members.

One event in her life that she was most proud of was when she was able to see her father inducted into the North Dakota

Cowboy Hall of Fame, modern era ranching division.

Linda is survived by her sister Ethel (Sonny), her son Biron (Sheri) and her daughter Trena (Al). She is also survived by

four grandchildren; Nickolas, Jordan, Arlin, and Skylar and three great grandchildren Ezla, Sansa, and Hendrick.

Her Life’s Story:

Marlena Rose White Owl (Mars) was born July 15, 1987 to Theresa Mae White Owl and Manuel Lucio De la Cruz. She had a

large extended family who all had a hand in her upbringing. She grew up in Mandaree where she had many relatives and

easily made an endless number of friends, she considered family. She was an open-hearted kind soul who found it hard to

say no to anyone in need.

Marlena attended Kicking Horse Job Corp in Montana where she obtained her GED and became a certified painter. In 2005

she married Henry Damon Smith and in that union, she had two beautiful daughters; Sophie Jade White Owl and Melody

Andrea Smith. She loved and cared for her daughters with all her heart. Marlena always said she wanted her daughters to

grow to be strong confident women. Marlena had various jobs throughout her life but she always expressed her true joy

was being a mother to her children, whom she loved dearly.

In March 2019, she married Levi Grinnell and in that union she had a son Maximus Sebastian Grinnell. Marlena and Levi

lived in Mandaree together for several years with their blended family, in total having five children.

We all know Marlena overcame so many trials in life and was a strong woman. She had a laugh that was contagious to all

around her always joking and trying to find the positive in sad times.

In May 2021, Gilbert Mata Jr., and Marlena crossed paths for the 3rd time in life and decided to give their love a try. They

found true love in each other, he was very supportive of her and loved Marlena dearly. They made plans to tie the knot and

move to Texas along with her children to begin a new journey in life together.

She had a very special bond with Dorothy (White Owl) Rush, they always gave each other a hard time jokingly and were

always by each other’s side laughing and just cracking jokes and of course getting into trouble together.

She is survived by her daughters; Sophie Jade White Owl, Melody Andrea Smith and son Maximus Sebastian Grinnell.

Sisters; Andrea Lucio (Lewis Vigen), Ismelda Vasquez (Adam Vasquez IV), Samantha Lucio (Chris Knows His Gun). Breann

Lucio, Reia Lucio, Sonia Lucio and dad Manuel Lucio De La Cruz (Bety Carrillo Martinez), and numerous nieces, nephews,

Obituary

Karen Helen Fettig “Walks Far Woman” (Diisha niiri wiia-sh), was born on December 19, 1960 to Darlene (Good Bird) and

Leander Gerald Finley in Stanley, ND. She was a member of the Knife Clan and a child of the Chicken Clan.

Karen was the eldest of six children. When she was a little girl, she spent a lot of time with her Aunt Ina Mae while her

mother, Darlene obtained her Nursing degree. Her mother’s nursing career took them various places such as Poplar, MT,

Williston, Nd and Tioga, ND and then they moved to Mandaree, where she attended school until the family then made their

home in New Town, ND and Karen attended New Town High School and graduated in 1979.

While she attended school , Karen was talented in Track and basketball. She holds two records; shot-put and softball

throw. Karen attended Haskell Indian Nations University where she received a scholarship for basketball. In her later

years, she attended Fort Berthold Community College (NHSC) where she received her Paraprofessional degree.

Growing up as well, Karen loved to ride her horse named “Prince” every day. Her and her siblings always raced to see

whoever the first one awake was, could ride him. She also spent a lot of time with her grandparents; Benjamin and Helen

Good Bird.

Karen met Morgan Fettig while in High School in 1979, and they married in 1984. Three children were born to this union;

grew a special bond with them throughout their lives. Karen had a gift of being artistically creative, her talent skills in

drawing led her to win a logo by the Mandaree School in which today the logo still represents the “ Mandaree Warriors”.

Karen was currently residing at Sunset Drive Prospera Nursing home in Mandan, ND. She made the best of her time while

living there and made many friends. Still having that artistic nature, she enjoyed making dream catchers she would gift to

family and friends. She loved when her kids and grandkids and/or family visited her and brought home cooked meals.

calls and face time. She definitely loved to do on-line shopping; she made sure to keep up on the latest trends for her
