Councilman

Fred Fox’s

Greetings

Greetings to all our Elders,

Community Members and Relatives,

I would like to send all my condolences to all

the families that have lost loved ones this past

month. Also, to the family members that have

loved ones that our in the hospitals, our prayers

and thoughts are with you. All our families here

are very close and the generations before us

were the pioneers in White Shield.

We are winding down the Summer season

and Fall is right around the corner and we are

starting to look at the start of the first day of

school. With that said, we are having a Back

to School Bash in conjunction with the White

Shield School on Monday August 14th. We will

be providing $150 per student that are enrolled

with White Shield School at the Back to School

Bash. We will provide lunch and will be brining

comedians Lil Mike and Funny Bone for the

White Shield Students.

Disbursements will be distributed out August

9th this month. So far to date, the MHA

Nation has distributed over $450 million in

disbursements and also distributed over $60

million in Elder disbursements since 2008.

The MHA Nation has four different Investment

accounts. The First one is Goldman Sachs MHA

Tribal JTAC - $165,979,162; the Second one is

Goldman Sachs MHA Economic Development

Fund - $44,537,294; the Third one is

Goldman Sachs MHA Educational Trust Fund

$12,899,044; the last one is the MHA Nation

People’s Fund has $867,853,699. This does not

include the PL102-575 JTAC of $142.9 million.

As summer is ending, we will be busy with

projects in White Shield. I would like to have

a Segment Update around the middle of

September after United Tribes Pow-wow. These

are very important projects for our community

and the entire MHA Nation. The following is

an overview of the White Shield Projects for FY

2023:

• Master Plan Community Infrastructure

• White Shield Restaurant

• White Shield Veterans Center

• White Shield Boys & Girls Club

• Ralph Wells Complex Restoration/

Renovation

• White Shield Daycare

• White Shield Satellite Casino

• White Shield Professional Housing

The end of August we will be hosting the

Pawnee Tribe for the Annual Arikara/Pawnee

Reunion. The dates are August 31st - September

3rd at the White Shield Pow-wow grounds. The

activities have not all been confirmed but a draft

includes:

• August 31 - Pawnee Tribe Arrives

• September 1- Breakfast; Tour of Interpretive

Center, Earth Lodges and Pontoon rides in

White Shield, and Hand Games

• August 2 - Breakfast; Pipe Ceremony;

Lunch; Pow-wow

• August 3rd - Church Services

In conclusion I want again send prayers to

the family members in our community that

lost loved ones, and family members that

are in the hospital and are fighting terminal

illness. Nothing matters more than our family,

everything else is second.

I hope everyone has a safe rest of the summer

and make sure you make it out to Twin Buttes

and Little Shell Pow-wow. No more pow wows

for another year, so enjoy it well you can.

Take care and God Bless,

White Shield East Segment Representative

MHA Nation Executive Secretary

A homecoming

for veterans

Housing units for veterans

open up in White Shield

BY JAMES C. FALCON

james@nordaknorth.com

WHITE SHIELD — Services for veterans in the

White Shield community grew last week with

the grand opening of six housing units dedicated

solely to veterans and their families.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony held June 9, the

construction of the homes just south of the

continued development taking place in White

Shield, is “a good thing for our veterans,” said

Bernadette White Bear-Hall, director of veteran

affairs in the East Segment.

MHA Nation tribal chairman Mark Fox

echoed the sentiment that these residential

units exemplify the dedication the tribe has to

veterans.

“People say ‘You should do something for the

veterans.’ That’s always a statement made by

many,” Chairman Fox said. “I want to be able to

stand here in front of you and say, ‘That’s what

we do.’ We do a lot of things now for veterans.

It’s a long time coming.’

Chairman Fox noted that services for veterans,

including a new veterans center in White

Shield (which White Bear Hall estimates will be

completed by August), are ongoing in White

Shield, as well as throughout the reservation.

“Now, we have a model system,” Chairman Fox

said. “If we do things right, there will be ten

times more of them on Fort Berthold. Homes for

veterans, in particular elders. We have a lot

Robert Hunter, director of Three Affi liated Tribes Veteran Aff airs; East Segment Representative Fred Fox

and tribal chairman Mark Fox cut the ribbon at one of six veteran housing units in White Shield last Friday

morning. The housing units, which feature various degrees of accessibility, will be designated solely to

veterans and their families. (James C. Falcon)

more work to do, but now we’ve got the base, a

model, something to stem off of.”

While all the units have three bedrooms and two

bathrooms and have the same layout, two

of the units are fully Americans with Disabilities

Act (ADA) compliant, two have some ADA

features and the remaining two are not ADA

compliant.

Rent is based on income, but it is capped at $350

a month, White Bear-Hall noted. “We are not

here to put a burden on a veteran,” she said. “Say

a veteran gets out of boot camp, gets off their

first enlistment and they come home and need to

thus making it more accessible. Calhoun took input from East Segment veterans affairs director Bernadette

house. It’s a home,” Calhoun said.

get established, they need to get a job, they need

to start saving money, they just had a little one.”

While under the management of Ree Lodge

Housing, the rent acquired from the veteran

housing will go back into it by means of helping

to pay for maintenance.

Of the six units, two are already assigned; a

“young family” and an elder will be the first

residents of the units, said JoDell Fox, director

of Ree Lodge Housing, adding that another unit

may be filled within the week. Including the

prospective residents, there are six on the

applicant list, as well as three who verbally

expressed an interest, she said.

Housing will be prioritized to White Shield

veterans, veterans enrolled in the Three

Affiliated Tribes, Native American veterans from

any federally recognized tribe and then veterans,

in that order.

“There are so many veterans that don’t have the

opportunity to come back home or there are

some veterans who don’t have the housing here,”

said Fred Fox, a member of the MHA tribal

council and representative for the East Segment.

“I asked the chairman ‘Can you help me out

on this? I really would like to do this.”

For Representative Fox, this housing project is a

personal thing.

After getting out of the Navy, he found himself

coming home to find that he couldn’t find

housing. The closest accommodation he could

find was Garrison, which made his daily

commute to college longer.

“It feels really good to have a place,”

Representative Fox said. “If they don’t have a

home, what good are we to honor our veterans?”

An Arikara Celebration for the books

BY JAMES C. FALCON

james@nordaknorth.com

WHITE SHIELD — A little rain on

Saturday evening didn’t stop the Arikara

Celebration from celebrating.

Far from it, thanks to a new roof which

was recently

installed at the powwow arbor.

Renovations at the arbor included tearing

up the grass and replacing it with artificial

turf. Early Friday afternoon before the

celebration was in full swing, a design of

windows on

the new roof casted an intricate shade

on the faux grass, installed to prevent

powwow dancers from getting wet and

dancing in unsavory and inclement

weather conditions – such as the

rainstorm which pelted White Shield

Saturday evening.

Before the celebration began – the first

grand entry was at 7 p.m. Friday – rows

of foldup chairs, many with their owners’

names inked on the back, surround the

arbor. Most vendors were just starting to

set

up that Friday afternoon, but some food

vendors were already open for business.

Around the periphery of the grounds,

RVs, tents and teepees were scattered

throughout; White Shield’s population,

even though temporary for the weekend,

surely doubled at the least.

By Saturday noon, the number of chairs

around the powwow circle grew, as did the

number of campers around the outside.

As the 1 p.m. grand entry neared, dancers

readied themselves as they got dressed in

their regalia, braided their hair and put

the finishing touches on

their appearance.

In all, the celebration boasted 19

registered drum groups, 15 visiting

powwow royalty and 436 dancers

representing 56 tribes from 17 states and

five Canadian provinces.

In Memory of

ZACHARY DAKOTA PFLIGER/YOUNGBIRD

JORDEN NOAH PFLIGER/YOUNGBIRD

(Holy Eagle)

(Looking Elk)

Zachary Dakota Pfliger/Youngbird (Holy Eagle), was a curious

personality, who had no boundaries between real life and his

zest for Legend of Zelda, Anime culture (all things Anime), and

his search for how God fits into his life, or should I say, how he

fits into God’s. He believed humor was the best medicine, in

order for him to connect to family and friends. His connection

to life and God was at the heart of his questions for his

understanding of life.

Zachary was born in Springfield, Oregon, at McKenzie/

Willamette Medical Center, on November 12, 1994, to

Terence and Andrea Pfliger. He was diagnosed with Aspergers

Syndrome, a few years later, through tests conducted. This

type of Autism

didn’t stop Zachary from his search throughout his life, for the

meaning of him, his connection to God. This new faith came

about due to his strong support

system of family and friends, to help him adjust to life.

Zachary did accomplish two very important things in his

short life. He did finish his requirements to obtain a diploma,

through Bend High School’s Coop Transition Program in 2013.

In the Summer of 2022, with the love and support of his

parents and siblings Zachary embarked on the difficulty of

Disney Land, with a wheelchair as his

only means of transportation through the park. You see, his

cancer had advanced to the final stage, which left him very

weak and unable to effectively walk.

His dream was to complete a Lightsaber, from the Build-aLightsaber workshop, at the Star Wars attraction park.

In closing, I would like to say that through all the crazy

adventures, I experienced with Zachary. It was Zachary, who

felt the most love for his heritage, for

his Native American Traditions.

He will be remembered, if not for his deep respect for his

Ancestors.

Zachary and Jorden are survived by their parents,

Terence Pfliger and Andrea Duke; siblings, Michaela, Alex, and

Jaden Pfliger, Kayla and Samantha Duke.

In addition to their brothers and sisters, they are mourned

by their aunts and uncles, along with their many cousins and

relatives of the MHA Nation, which they deserved to know

more about, as they lived.

Finally, I would like to thank all family members that donated

their time and money, in helping me to get to

this point, in celebrating these children’s lives. I really couldn’t

have accomplished these plans without my amazing family.

Jorden Noah Pfliger/Youngbird (Looking Elk), passed away on

February 23, 2023, from an unexpected, tragic circumstance. He

was cut down so short in his youth. I want all of his family and

friends to remember him as he was in this life. I want to always

cherish his energy, his ability to generate

positivity, and all of his ideas, to help in any way he could. I

would also like to remember my son, the real man’s man. Tough,

but empathetic to all. My son

would love his time in nature. He would go on hunting and

fishing adventures throughout the year when he was old enough

to handle weapons responsibly. But when he wasn’t hunting or

fishing, he had a real passion for big trucks. He had two special

4x4s, he would spend so much time modifying during his spare

time after working and putting in a hard day’s work, as a roofer

apprentice. These hobbies and special skills were amplified all the

more after he finished and graduated from Mountain View

high school in Bend Oregon in the summer of 2018.

Jorden Pfliger was born on May 9, 2002, to parents

Terence and Andrea Pfliger, at McKenzie/Willamette Medical

Center, in Springfield, Oregon.

Jorden was raised with a deep respect for family but was always

getting into more and more difficult adventures around his

environment (climbing trees, hiding from everyone, etc.).

Such an energetic, young man, Jorden grew to respect all

animals, wild, and domesticated types. He was always aware of

what it meant to respect nature, as it was very apparent with the

family pet, Cooter. A

yellow lab that was treated with special affection, reserved for

those of a special connection.

I would also like to point out that his passion stretched out to

metal smithing as well, beyond his love of animals. This all

accumulated, and eventually

brought him a love of guns and the love of collecting antique

weapons. I like to think that all of my sons’ endeavors were an

outlet for the big, amazing world

of nature.

Zachary and Jorden are survived by their parents,

Terence Pfliger and Andrea Duke; siblings, Michaela, Alex, and

Jaden Pfliger, Kayla and Samantha Duke.

In addition to their brothers and sisters, they are mourned

by their aunts and uncles, along with their many cousins and

relatives of the MHA Nation, which they deserved to know more

about, as they lived.

Finally, I would like to thank all family members that donated

their time and money, in helping me to get to

this point, in celebrating these children’s lives. I really couldn’t

have accomplished these plans without my amazing family.
