Bago Bits…

Winnebago Gaming Legend, Kim Whitewater recently “Hit” at the WinnaVegs

Casino Resort’s, Cash Giveaway promotion. Slow your role, this picture is 3

weeks old, Kim has since paid some bills

these new crossing lights will alert you to

slow down.

The new Sweet Water Café in the HoChunk Village has been open for business since Powwow time. Why is it finally in the WIN you may

ask? Because we were waiting for them to get a sign, we finally gave up waiting. The Sweet Water Café in HoChunk Village is the second

location for the new twist on the coffee business. The first location is in the HoChunk Centre in nearby Sioux City, Iowa. The Café specializes in beverages and light fare foods. Sweet Water opens at 7 am serving up your favorite Frappes, Lattes, Cappuccinos, Smoothies and

a delicious menu of breakfast sandwiches, salads, peninis, muffins and killer daily special soups. The Café closes at 6 pm, you can find it

Tessa or Kryssa barista up your favorite concoction.

Winnebago Statue Garden a Tourist Stop

Winnebago Tribal Counsel, Danelle

Smith will be recognized on October,

6th at Wayne State College as an area,

‘Outstanding Person.’ Congratulations

Danelle!

Just about anytime of the day during the Summer, you can find passers by Winnebago stopping by to visit the Winnebago Statue Garden.

The Garden features the 12 clan statues of Winnebago Warriors, Chiefs and Holy men. The big Statue was commissioned in the mid-90’s

for display at the new WinnaVegas Casino by the Winnebago Tribal Council. The idea was to share with visitors a tidbit of our Winnebago

culture & heritage in relationship with our Mother and Creation. Today the Statue stands as a monument of out Winnebago teachings and

way of life.

Los Angeles cancels Columbus Day

A group of young Winnebago residents

recently broke into the Whirling Thunder

Wellness Center, lifted the keys to the program vans, and took them for a joy ride.

Remember there is a standing Reward

conviction of persons damaging Tribal

Property.

Columbus Day is no more in the nation’s second-largest city.

The Los Angeles City Council voted

14-1 last Wednesday to officially mark

the second Monday in October as

Indigenous Peoples Day on the city’s

calendar — a day to commemorate “indigenous, aboriginal and native people.”

The day will remain a paid holiday for

city employees, the Los Angeles Times

reported.

The vote followed a contentious hearing, during which some Italian-Americans said the switch would eradicate a

key portion of their history, while others

argued that city lawmakers needed to

“dismantle a state-sponsored celebration of genocide of indigenous peoples”

and dismissed the idea of celebrating

Indigenous Peoples Day on a different

date altogether.

Indianz.com…

The Nebraska Supreme Court heard

arguments in a landmark case affecting

the sale of liquor in a town near the Pine

Ridge Reservation.

Four stores in Whiteclay lost their

liquor licenses in April after decades of

complaints from officials of the Oglala

Sioux Tribe, Native activists and some

residents in the area. But the owners

contend the Nebraska Liquor Control

Commission's decision was illegal and

V i s i t

absurdity of celebrating a historical

figure responsible for such profound

suffering, still felt by generations of

Indigenous People everywhere. This

is more than symbolic. It is spiritually

and morally necessary.”

Councilman Joe Buscaino, a firstgeneration Italian-American, suggested replacing Columbus Day with

a new name to celebrate “all of the

diverse cultures in the city” before being the lone city lawmaker to oppose

the switch, asking fellow councilors

not to “cure one offense with another.”

With the change, Los Angeles joins

a growing list of places that have already replaced Columbus Day — first

recognized as a federal holiday in

1937 — with Indigenous Peoples Day,

including Alaska, Vermont, Seattle, Albuquerque, San Francisco and Denver.

Most recently, the Bangor City Council

in Maine voted to rename the holiday, the Bangor Daily News reports.

Liquor stores in Pine Ridge Reservation border town

ask court for ruling to reopen

Use caution when traveling the one-way

streets surrounding the Winnebago Public

Schools, you may hit metal on these

super speed bumps.

Every Wednesday afternoon, farmer Vern

from Lyon’s will be in downtown Winnebago with fresh vegetables and melons. He stops by Bago after the Farmer’s

Market in Sioux City.

“To make us celebrate on any other

day would be a further injustice,” said

Chrissie Castro, vice chairwoman of

the Los Angeles City-County Native

American Indian Commission.

Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, a member of Oklahoma’s Wyandotte Nation

tribe, had pushed for the change, saying Wednesday that the move would

provide “restorative justice.” In a blog

post prior to the vote earlier this week,

O’Farrell said the “historical record is

unambiguous in documenting the horrors” Christopher Columbus and his

men imposed on the native people in

present-day Haiti and the Dominican

Republic.

Removing Columbus Day and replacing it with Indigenous Peoples Day is

the appropriate action for this city to

take,” O’Farrell wrote. “We must send

a signal to Washington D.C. that there

is no better day to honor our original

inhabitants while highlighting the

u s

a t

they are asking the court for permission

to reopen.

“The commission’s decision in this

case is so blatantly in violation of the

statutes,” attorney Andrew Snyder told

the court on Tuesday morning, when

arguments took place, The Omaha WorldHerald reported.

Since the shutdown in the town,

liquor sales have picked up in towns

further from the reservation border, The

Lincoln Journal Star reported earlier this

month. The paper published an extensive

report, Beyond Whiteclay, which looked

at the impact of the closure on the Pine

Ridge community, where alcohol abuse

has contributed to social and law enforcement problems.

A decision in Kozal v. Nebraska Liquor Control Commission isn't expected

for at least six weeks, The World-Herald

reported. Audio and video of the argument will be posted on supremecourt.

nebraska.gov.

Thoughts from a Personality Test… By Lance Morgan JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

It must be election time because

in the last two editions of the WIN,

I have had people take a little shot

at me or Ho-Chunk, Inc.

One

said the Tribal Council gave me

personally the last two per capita

payments meant for tribal members. It also said that a per capita

payment was a right—a right, not

an extra thing. The second one

made a general comment about

our real estate projects in Sioux

City and questioned why would we

do that when we need housing in

Winnebago.

I have heard versions of both

before and frankly such comments

bug me, but I figured I would offer

some additional insight. First, of

course no one gave me your per

capita payment. In fact, over the

last 3 years Ho-Chunk, Inc. has

contributed about $200,000 per

month to the tribe in dividends

and taxes. This doesn’t take into

account all the other good deeds

we do in the community. So saying the guy working hard to put

money into the tribal bank account

is taking your per capita payment

is in fact annoying to me. For the

record, Ho-Chunk, Inc. gives out

pay checks, not per capita checks.

However, the tribe did allow HoChunk, Inc. to retain 30 percent of

its dividend, to build 100 houses

and the infrastructure for 100

more. Ho-Chunk, Inc. has built

or purchased over 150 housing

units in the last 15 years. In the

last two years, we have built 50

housing units. This is the fastest

pace of growth in housing in our

modern history, which leads me to

the second critique about building

stuff in Sioux City.

It is a simple criticism to tie what

we do in Sioux City to Winnebago,

but it really isn’t a fair comparison.

We are building those projects

purely to make money and charge

market level rents designed to maximize income to the tribe. In Winnebago, we use the profits made in

Sioux City to fund purchasing land

to expand our town, fund down payment assistance for tribal members,

and supplement the construction of

new apartments and townhouses so

people can have affordable housing.

Maybe I am too close to it, but

do people really just think a magic

wand is waived and new high quality

housing magically appears. It takes

years of work and lots of time and effort in planning, getting the funding

and getting them built. The housing

problems are real in our community,

but so is the progress we have been

making and criticizing the hard

work on the people trying to make it

happen is counter-productive.

I took a personality test a few

years ago and it said I craved acknowledgement or getting credit for

things. I said at the time then I am

working in the wrong place! But I

realize that I do get credit for things

all the time. However, it is just for

things I didn’t actually do like taking per capita payments, plotting

to hurt tribal housing, being mean

to children, not liking dogs, jay

walking, elder abuse, being stingy,

stealing money, only hiring nonIndians, and any other thing you

can imagine.

I get it. I am a public figure in

our community and put myself out

there all the time and expect some

push back. I usually ignore it, but

that makes me an easy target too,

especially around election time. I

understand that poverty leads to

anger and frustration, but getting

out of it is hard work and it won’t

be done by complaining.

I am an optimist or I wouldn’t be

working here and I keep thinking

that at some point, our people will

all be so successful that the problems of poverty will begin to fade.

I think we are well on that path. I

know I need to focus on the longterm plan, but it is tough in the

short term to get credit for so many

things, I don’t actually do. Football

Season is here. Go Bago and Go

Big Red!

Letter to the Editor…

“To Show Law on Per Cap by IRS”

Per Capita payments from trust funds held by the Department of the Interior.

The Department of the Treasury and IRS issued final guidance regarding

Per Capita distributions made two members of Indian tribes from funds held

in trust by the Secretary of the Interior. In response to feedback from tribal nations, the guidance clarifies that, generally, these Per Capita payments will not

be subject to federal income tax.

The final guidance provides an exception to the general rule where taxable

income is mischaracterized as non-taxable income.

Notice: Treasury’s consultation with Indian tribes: Page last reviewed or

updated 21 September 2015

Thanks,

“Live by the Spirit”

Have you ever taken the time

to stop and think why you do the

things that you do? Do you ever

wonder if you allowed the Holy Spirit

to lead you what a difference this

would make? Do you even think that

it is possible for you to let go and let

God’s Spirit be in the driver’s seat?

You have been tricked into thinking that you have freedom when

you let go and live life doing whatever comes to mind. You allow your

tongue to say whatever comes to

mind. You curse, you lie, you slander, you gossip, you make fun of

others and in reality you have lost

control. Even when you attempt to

curb some of your words you simply

can’t help yourself.

If you reason that you can live

life your way and still have a place

reserved for you in the new heavens

on the new earth then you have

been deceived. The truth is that you

can not live like hell and still expect

heaven too.

The apostle Paul wrote to the

Christian churches of Galatia these

words: ‘I say, walk by the Spirit and

you will certainly not satisfy the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires

what is contrary to the Spirit, and

the Spirit desires what is contrary to

the flesh; for these are in opposition

to one another in order that you do

not do the things you want. But if

you are led by the Spirit, you are not

under the Law.’ [Galatians 5:16-18]

What a mystery it is to have freedom from the Law by walking with

or living guided by the Spirit. The

Law of God, His demands can never

be met by you, not even close, no

matter how hard you try. The Law

of God can only let you know that

you have once again failed.

You are not holy. You are not

sacred by your own actions. Your

sinful flesh, your sinful nature opposes the Spirit of God. Paul goes

on to give examples of the ways of

one’s sinful nature: ‘Now the works

of the flesh are obvious, which are

sexual immorality, impurity, indecency, idolatry, sorcery, enmities,

strife, jealousy, rage, selfishness,

dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and such things

as these, concerning which I am

warning you, just as I said before,

that those who do such things will

not inherit the kingdom of God.’

[Galatians 5:19-21]

You are guilty of doing such

things. The danger is that if you

continue to live life according to the

freedom of your sinful nature you

will not live with God forever and

ever. Lord have mercy!

But the good news is that there

is another way. By the grace of God,

you allow God’s Spirit to enter into

you heart. You allow God’s Spirit to

speak to you through His Sacred

Word. You allow the Spirit that Jesus promised to send, to bring you

to trust in the suffering, death and

resurrection in Jesus. You allow Jesus to take your place on the cross

in order to set you free from your

sinful nature. You allow the Spirit

of God to assist you in crucifying

your self-centered ways.

Once again we turn to what Paul

wrote to the churches of Galatia:

‘The fruit of the Spirit, however,

is love, joy, peace, forbearance,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control. The

Law is not opposed to such things.

Now those of Christ [Jesus] crucified the flesh with its passions and

desires. If we live by the Spirit, then

by the Spirit let us also walk. Let

us not become conceited, provoking

one another, envying one another.’

[Galatians 5:22-26]

The life of one who lives by the

Spirit is a blessing to that person

as well as to all those around him

or her. What a difference the power

of God’s Spirit is, in this life and in

the one to come!

W.H.D.C. Tenant Reminders

From the desk of the Winnebago Air Quality Program

Kids are back in school…yay!

Please watch out for children going

to and from school at crosswalks.

Teach your children “Stranger Danger” as many of our little ones tend

to be naturally friendly. Remember

to allow your young children plenty

of rest to be able to be alert in the

morning and ready to learn. Kids

from 3 to 5 years old need at least

ten (10) hours of continuous sleep

and older children need eight (8)

hours. Let’s get them back into the

routine!

Down here at the W.H.D.C. offices, we have done a little landscaping that included rocks as

part of the flower bedding. Several

mornings we have come into work

to find these rocks thrown all over

the parking area as well as around

the units in Rainbow. We are urging parents/guardians to keep

your children from vandalizing the

area. It is an effort to keep the area

beautiful for our tenants & visitors

to our offices, and damages are

costly. We have policies that state

it is our right to bill any parties

that have been proved responsible

for such vandalism, whether it be

your children or “guests” to your

household, you are responsible.

Please help us keep your neighborhoods clean & safe.

The Resident Services department will be hosting a “Fire Escape Plan Contest” beginning on

Tuesday, September 19, 2017.

2nd planning meeting will be on

Tuesday, September 26, 2017 and

final evening will be on October 3,

2017 where plans will be executed

and timed to determine the winner.The Winnebago Housing &

Development Commission has 80

two-story units and most likely

have young children living in the

home. It is our intention to assist

our tenants in safe practices and

possibly save lives through this

type of education. For more details

on the contest call Dawn Snake at

the Housing Office. Also keep an

eye open for more updates in the

next issue of the W.I.N.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge our Summer Youth

ASTHMA TRIGGERS

As I conduct outreach in our community, talking to people about air

quality issues, one of the surprising

things I’ve learned, is that we have

allot of people, young and old, who

are dealing with asthma. In my own

family, I started paying attention to

asthma, when one of my own sons

was diagnosed with it, and I had to

make some important changes in

our life, to reduce the “triggers” that

cause an asthma attack.

First, let’s define what “triggers”

are. Certain things cause asthma

“attacks” or make asthma worse.

These are called triggers. Some common triggers are

Things you might be allergic to.

These are called allergens. (Most

people with asthma have allergies,

and allergies are a major cause of

asthma symptoms)

House dust mites

Animal dander

Cockroaches

Mold

Pollens

Infections of the airways

Viral infections of the nose and

throat

Other infections, such as pneumonia or sinus infections

Irritants in the environment (outside or indoor air you breathe)

Cigarette and other smoke

Air pollution

Cold air, dry air

Odors, fragrances, volatile organic compounds in sprays, and

cleaning products

Exercise (about 80% of people

with asthma develop wheezing,

coughing, and a tight feeling in the

chest when they exercise)

Stress

It’s important to check all the

environments you live in, such

as home, work, school, day care,

relatives’ homes etc. for exposure to

these environments.

Avoiding Triggers

Here are some things you can do

to reduce your exposure to triggers.

Do not smoke in your home or

car.

Reduce exposure to dust mites.

The most effective things to do are

to cover your mattress and pillow

with allergy-proof encasings. Wash

workers, Aleah Huffman & Angelo

Suarez. Aleah is 16 yrs old, this year

a junior in high school and has been

a member of the “Academy” program

@ WPS since it’s inception. Aleah

is the daughter of Laura “Tootie”

Huffman & the granddaughter of the

late Fritz Huffman. This was Aleah’s

first summer working with Housing. Resident Services requested a

worker old enough to operate weed

whackers & mowers, strong enough

to do outside work, and Aleah was

a great help in getting our senior

complex area cleaned up and looking wonderful! We cut up dead trees,

hauled debris, cleaned up over crowded storage areas, cut trees

growing in window wells, cleaned

curbsides of overgrown weeds,

painted and assisted several tenants

with household chores. Aleah was

helpful, friendly and a pleasure to

work with. We worked many hours

out in the sun, but also worked in

the office. Aleah made up informational packets for the tenants, did

some much needed filing and assisted with some office rearranging

as well as other chores for different

departments.

Angelo Suarez worked for “Housing” several summers in the maintenance department. His parents

are Saralee “Cupcake” Suarez &

Jorge Suarez. Angelo was busy

with “the guys” outside most of the

time helping with grounds keeping,

water breaks, work orders and got

experience learning concrete work.

He was a huge asset to our already

overworked maintenance crew.

Angelo graduated this past school

year from Winnebago Public School

and the “Buffet Scholarship” and

is attending college @ University of

Nebraska in Lincoln.

All the staff @ the WHDC appreciate all the hard work and willingness

these two youth displayed. We wish

them well in all their endeavors!

bedding in hot water every week,

and vacuum and dust frequently.

Reduce humidity in the home

with a dehumidifier or remove

carpeting. Bedrooms in basements

should not be carpeted.

If allergic to furry pets, remove

them from your home.

Reduce cockroach infestation

by setting roach traps, repairing

holes in walls and entry points, and

avoid leaving food or garbage exposed. Be careful about bringing in

cardboard boxes of food from food

pantry’s. Remove cans and food

items outside, and throw away the

box, s. Cockroaches like to hide in

the seams of the cardboard boxes.

Mold in homes is often due to

excessive moisture, leaky roofs,

leaking pipes or excessive humidity.

Control indoor humidity by using

fans in the bathroom and kitchen,

and adding a dehumidifier in areas

with high humidity.

Pollen exposure can be reduced

by using an air conditioner in your

home, and keeping doors and windows closed during high pollen

times.

Check air quality reports in

weather forecasts or on the internet. When air quality is poor, try to

stay indoors and follow your doctor’s recommendations.

Asthma can reduce the quality of

life, and prevent people from enjoying normal activities. By making

even small changes, it can have a

huge impact on sufferers. The Winnebago Environmental Protection

Department Air Quality Program

is here to help the community with

indoor and outdoor air quality issues. Please feel free to stop by if

you need any further information

on ways to combat asthma, or any

air quality questions you might

have. You can reach me at;

The St. Augustine’s Buffalo Pasture has been a hotspot this Summer for

traffic passing through the Winnebago Reservation. The turnout is the place

for the State Historical Marker for the Company “A” Fort Omaha Scouts,

34th Nebraska Volunteers. The marker used to be at the base of Hatchett’s

hill near the Winnebago Cemetery. The site is now home to the Winnebago

Tribe’s buffalo and informational markers explaining the importance of the

buffalo to Native Culture.

BUILDING THE BEST RURAL

COMMUNITY IN NEBRASKA

That is the dream for Ho-Chunk Village and the

Winnebago community. With the initial phase of

Ho-Chunk Village nearing capacity, Ho-Chunk, Inc.

has purchased an additional 40 acres to expand

Ho-Chunk Village to help accommodate the

continuing housing needs in Winnebago.

Initial plans for the 40-acre development will

include a mixture of:

Lance Morgan, President and CEO of

Ho-Chunk, Inc. said, “There are 150 people on

the waiting list for housing in our community.

Ho-Chunk Village 2.0 will go a long way to

addressing the consistent

housing needs we have here

on the Reservation. We want

to create a variety of quality

> Single-family Homes

housing options for seniors,

> Townhomes

lower income families,

individuals and our

> Senior Housing

emerging middle

class families.”

> Apartments

> Mixed Use Space

> Retail and Commercial Space

Morgan said “Ho-Chunk Village 2.0 is still in the

concept stage. During the planning stages of

the original Ho-Chunk Village we had a series

of meetings in the community to gather input

and we intend to do something similar with this

development.”

The anticipated Ho-Chunk Village 2.0

development timeline:

> Land Survey – Currently Underway

> Design Process and Community Input

Winter 2017-18

> Phase 1 of Infrastructure Development

Summer of 2018

> Building Construction – To Be Determined

“I don’t just want a good reservation community…

I want Winnebago to be the best rural community

in Nebraska. By developing a quality mix of

housing, retail and commercial opportunities,

we will positively grow Winnebago and offer the

services people look for in a community. We want

Winnebago to be a place Tribal members want to

stay in to raise their families…and be a place they

are proud to call home,” said Morgan.
