area. Mandaree School lost three employees; Mr.

Delbert Fry, Mr. Conley and Kyle Grady. Chairs

were put up with star quilts on them honoring

them.

We gave twenty five Easter baskets out and one elder

because we had an unexpected snow storm so that

made a difference in our give away of Easter baskets.

Since the storm we extended our Easter basket give

away to the following week when our weather was

better.

The Easter baskets that we had left over we donated

them to the Native American Development Center here

in Bismarck.

family and me but for the future generations:

*Landowners, Farmers and Ranchers Rights must be Protected.

*Environmental Protections and Public Health

*Natural Resources; Clean Air, Clean Water and Healthy Soil

“The Bakken oil and gas development has brought much environmental, health and social impacts that has changed our way of

life. We must protect our water, land, and air but also educate the people on the aftermath of rampant oil and gas development.

We need to hold decision-makers accountable for allowing companies to have more rights than those of us who choose to live in

our rural areas. Power must be in the hands of the people, not a select few.”

Lisa Finley-DeVille, Maheahzah Ahgawgish (Accomplishes Everything) has lived her whole life in Mandaree, North Dakota on

advocated on issues that protect the future of North Dakota. Before her volunteer work, she has helped build home ownership and

renovation programs on Fort Berthold Reservation for 13 years.

tribal communities.

Over the years Lisa has testified on her experience of living with oil and gas to North Dakota State government, the United States

Federal government, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Tribal Government and to the United Nations on many issues such as

environmental protections (policy and regulations) and health, social issues, taxes, and protecting women and children.

Lisa received her Master of Business Administration and Master of Management from the University of Mary. Lisa received her

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, an Associate of Science in Science, and an Associate of Applied Science in

For Your Information

Reminders

Greetings! Would you consider

yourself to be the type of person who

is easily distracted? Or maybe you are

the type of person who has that laser

focus to not be distracted at all. Either

way, there are pros and cons to both

characteristics. If for example, you are

easily distracted, you may miss the

point of a discussion or presentation.

Whereas if you tend to be laser

focused on the point of a discussion or presentation, you may

miss the details leading to that point. Okay…so what? What is

the point of this example? There isn’t a point to this example.

Just a subtle reminder that we as human beings have been

created with varying behavioral characteristics. All be it created

in the image and likeness of our Creator (God). Created,

nonetheless, with individual characteristics. Creation just would

not work if we, as created human beings, were alike. God knows

this, after all He is God. This may be the reason why God has

given us “reminders”. Reminders to help us remember who God

is and what God has done and is doing for us. Reminders to help

us remember that God is very much alive and present here with

us. Regardless of what distractions may exist in our lives. So

then, what of these “reminders”; what are they and where can we

find them? Well, they are all around us. We can and do

experience them to varying degrees, during various situations

whether we are aware or not. Here are just a few examples of

“reminders” given to us…the stars in the sky, the sands on the

seashore, light, dark, wheat, weeds, rain, fire, wind (everyone’s

favorite reminder), fruit, bread, fish, thirst, stones, rock (my

special favorite reminder). There are many, many more. Should

you be inclined to check out the source of these and the many

more reminders given us from God the Father, you will need to do

this one thing…read bible scripture. Yes, read bible scripture.

Contained within the words of scripture are these “reminders”

that existed when scripture was first recorded and continue to

exist today. The hope is when you look at the stars in the sky or

see a field of wheat or you are thirsty, that you will be reminded

of how God is very much alive and working in your lifetime. And

that that should result in a closer personal relationship with God.

Message From Veteran Dawn White

Powwow/Celebration Season is fast approaching

and after these past years looking forward to the

celebrations at home.

As a Veteran and former Flag Bearer for one of our

celebrations I want to address this:

When we as Veterans get chosen to be Flag Bearers

for our respective celebrations on Fort Berthold one

of our responsibilities is to ask families to raise the

flag of one of our dear departed comrades.

This is an honor for that flag to be flown at the

celebration. To hear their songs being sung, hear the

announcer tell stories of the ones being flown and

the list of their deeds as a warrior and how they were

as a person in life. It’s to always remember our

WARRIORS and their legacy. My Grandmas said to

never forget our Warriors...

Our modern day celebrations have evolved from our

Warrior Societies and the teachings of those

societies. One of the teachings is generosity to the

people, especially the vulnerable of the tribe. Our

Warriors always provided protection and meat to

those very ones.

Today when these Veterans come ask to raise the

flag of our dear departed Warriors it is an HONOR!..

My Grandparents would tell me when ones come

ask you to do something you should never say no

cause it takes a lot for them to ask.

Families donate or feed, some families don’t know or

were never taught the ways of our respective tribal

ways to honor and will ask what should I do? I

always say the best that you can do for people.. if all

you have is one blanket than that’s the best for you,

cause your family will always help you.

More and more I’m hearing from fellow Veterans

how hard it is to ask families or flags lost. Some

Veterans their flags have never been flown. Families

just out right refuse. Sad that our ways are eroding

and these honors are fading.

But I will say this; ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR

VETERANS, OUR WARRIORS!!!!

When these Flag Bearers ask, please don’t refuse to

Deacon Dan Barone

honor our Warriors!
