Tribal Council Meets with HoChunk Nation Delegation

The Winnebago Tribal Council met this week with members of the HoChunk Nation Legislature to discuss mutual concerns regarding the
two Tribal Governments.
The Winnebago Tribe is approved to participate in the IHS Tribal
Self-Governance Program
The Winnebago T ribe received
great news earlier this week. The
Indian Health Service Office of Tribal
Self-Governance formally notified the
Tribe on December 6 that the Tribe
has been approved to participate in
the Self-Governance Program. This is
an important step forward in the Winnebago Tribe’s initiative to improve the
quality of health care available in our
community by assuming the OmahaWinnebago Hospital.
The Winnebago Tribe continues to
work with the Omaha Tribe to ensure
that the interests of both Tribes are
protected in the negotiations with
Indian Health Service. We remain
committed to improving health care
delivery and the health status of our
people.
For more information about our
Tribe’s journey to self-governance and
efforts to have the Hospital recertified,
you can check the Tribe’s Facebook
page and at our website www.win-
nebagotribe.com. These sources of
information will be updated regularly,
so keep checking.
What is the step-by-step “Howto” to apply to be a Self-Governance
Tribe?
To begin the process, a Tribe conducts planning. Planning typically
includes gathering information from
IHS and studying that information
to determine whether to assume IHS
programs and activities.
Eligibility Determination. The Tribe
also requests a determination from the
IHS Office of Tribal Self-Governance
whether the Tribe satisfies the eligibility criteria for financial stability and
financial management capability. The
Winnebago Tribe recently received a
preliminary eligibility determination in
early October. This has galvanized the
Winnebago Self-Governance process.
Tribal Action to Request Participation. After receiving a determination
that the Tribe meets those criteria and
is qualified to participate in Self-Governance, the Tribe must take formal
action to conclude its planning process
to its satisfaction and formally request
participation in the Self-Governance
Program. IHS will provide technical
assistance as the Tribe prepares to
participate in the program, including
coordination of meetings with IHS
program offices.
Once the Tribe has completed the
planning phase to its satisfaction and
formally requests participation in the
program, the Tribe and IHS negotiate
a draft Compact and Funding Agreement. Assisted by a Federal negotiation team, the Agency Lead Negotiator
(“ALN”) reviews the draft and works
together with the Tribe to reach agreement on the final documents.
Compact and Funding Agreement
Approval. Upon signature by the Indian Health Service and Tribal leadership, the Tribe is able to assume operations of the programs and activities.

Omaha Tribe appeals loss of federal
emergency funds
Tribe was hit hard by
Missouri River flooding

The Omaha Tribe is firing back at
federal officials who slammed the tribe
for failing to properly spend Federal
Emergency Management Agency funds
following disastrous flooding along the
Missouri River in 2011.
Floodwaters destroyed 11 tribalowned homes and severely damaged the
tribe’s casino, irrigation systems and
fuel plaza.
In a statement directed to The Omaha
World-Herald on Thursday, the tribe’s
acting attorney general, Paul Hofmann,
criticized the newspaper for not giving
the tribe enough time to respond to a
report written by the Department of
Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector
General and published November 30.
“The formal appeal process has
not concluded,” Hofmann wrote in
the statement. “As I am sure you are
aware, many grantees receiving FEMA
assistance since Hurricane Katrina are
identified as ‘High Risk’ grantees.”
In its report, the OIG said the tribe’s
accounting system and supporting
documentation were so unreliable and
in such disarray that it could only verify
$3 million of the $16.9 million awarded
to the tribe for flood recovery.
“The problems we found at the Omaha Tribe were serious and pervasive,”
the OIG said. “Therefore, FEMA Region
VII should not provide any additional
funds to the Omaha Tribe until FEMA
can confirm that the tribe actually perCon’t. on page 3

Wrestling results from Dec 9th
Zagurski Back2Back North Bend
Invite Champ at 285
The Wrestling Indians traveled
south to North Bend last Saturday
for the North Bend Invite. 11 wrestlers took to the mat for Bago. Matthew McDonald and Antonio Robles
wrestled at 120. Matt wrestled very
tough and shows great potential but
lack of experience got the best of him.
Matt was up by 8 in the two matches
he wrestled but got caught and ended
the day 0-2. Antonio is also young inexperienced wrestler but had a pretty
good day just missing out on getting
to the medal stand going 2-2 and is
5-7 on the year. Jamisen WolfLeader
wrestled at 138 and went 1-2 on the
day with a pin. Jeremy Bear wrestling
at 152 also went 1-2 on the day getting
a pin and is 5-7 on the year also. Kye
Thomas wrestling at 170 went 0-2.
As a freshman is working really hard
but is in a very tough weight class. “
Kye gives us everything he has but the
lack of experience and being at 170 really hurts Kye. I am proud of what Kye
is doing and the fact that he is not just
giving up out there means alot for his
character,” said Coach Tranmer. Nick
Painter and Tommy Hunter wrestled
at 220. Nick bumped up to 220 to
have a better chance at a medal and
came up one match short going 2-2
on the day. “We looked at the 195
bracket and there were 9 state qualifiers and 6 of them were placerers last
year. Nick realized it was going to be
a tough go at 195 and really could do
some damage at 220.” Nick wrestled
well but just made a few mistakes that
cost him a couple matches. He is looking good and is 6-6 in his Senior year.
Tommy wrestled hard but just lack of
experience hurts Tommy and he went
0-2 on the day. At the 285 weight class
Bago was very deep with 4 wrestlers
in it. Darion Earth “Bubbz” went 0-2.
He is starting to get more confidence
on the mat and is just a darn good kid.
Jaylen Harden went 0-2 on the day and
made a couple of mistakes that cost
him matches. Prosper Gilpin wrestling
in his first meet of the year went 4-1 on
the day recording 4 pins on his way to
a 3rd place medal for the 2nd year in
a row. Derrell Zagurski defended his
Championship in epic fashion going
4-0 on the day improving to 11-1 on the
season. Derrell wrestled Shumauker
from Louisville for the second time in
2 weeks but this one was alot closer.
Derrell gave up a stalling point with
4 seconds left to let Shu tie it up. In
overtime Derrell decided he was done
playing around and blasted Shu for a
takedown and sealed the 4-2 victory.
This team is young and every week
we are improving and the coaches see
how it is all coming together. This week
we should get Robbie Lovejoy back
and hope to get a couple other kids
back to help round out the team. The
team scored 45 points in the tourney
bettering the 29 that was scored last
year finishing 11th of 14. Up next
for the young Indians is a triangular
at Oakland (vs Oakland and Superior)
starting at 6pm. Then Saturday we
travel to Wisner for the Green Machine
Invite wrestling starts at 9am.

formed the FEMA-authorized work at
a reasonable price.”
FEMA agreed with the recommendation and told the tribe last summer
that it will no longer receive federal
disaster funds pending additional
review.
The OIG criticized the tribe for contracting with itself to generate artificial profits, which the tribe then used
to cover its 10 percent cost-share of
the grants, or $1.65 million.
“This arrangement violated federal
regulations, the FEMA-tribe agreement, FEMA policy and prudent grant
management business practices,” the
OIG wrote.
The tribe also spent $169,000 on
repairs to its old casino, costs not
allowed under federal guidelines following the tribe's decision to build a
new casino, the OIG wrote.
The agency criticized the tribe’s
emergency management director, who
it said defended the tribe’s practices
by claiming that tribal sovereignty
allowed the tribe to manage its grant
through tribal law.
“The principle of tribal sovereignty
does not allow Native American tribes
to poorly manage their finances, profit
from federal grants, pay themselves
bonuses, or disregard federal regulations,” the OIG wrote.
Federal regulation does not allow
profit to grantees.

its reservation in Nebraska was underwater in the summer of 2011 due
to flooding along the Missouri River.

In addition, the tribe paid its general contractor a $312,282 bonus for
not spending all of the funds FEMA
provided to build the new casino, according to the OIG.
“Of course, a payment to its wholly
owned contractor is essentially a pay-
ment to itself,” the OIG wrote. “This
bonus violates both the basic tenets
of contracting and practical business
sense; it was simply a method used
to seize FEMA’s remaining funding.”
Hofmann criticized the OIG for
its “thinly veiled racist comments”
and defended the tribe’s practice of
awarding contracts to tribally owned
businesses.
“The process of awarding contracts
to tribally owned businesses and
departments is part of the tribe’s
Procurement Policy, which FEMA approved,” he wrote.
He said the tribe never used FEMA
funds to pay for repairs to its old casino and that the $312,282 payment
to its casino contractor was not a
bonus but a final payment.
“These comments are especially
disturbing given the fact that the tribe
complied with all federal regulations
with respect to the disaster grant,”
Hofmann wrote.
He said the OIG routinely recommends that federal agencies cut off
funding to state and local governments for failing to properly spend
millions and billions of dollars in
federal funds. Hofmann criticized the
Omaha World-Herald for failing to
report other cases of alleged federal
funding mismanagement.
“In any event, there seems to
be a lack of meaningful reporting
concerning disallowed reimbursement expenses for state and local
governments, including the State of
Nebraska, and a disproportionate
focus on the Omaha Tribe by your
newspaper,” he wrote.
He said he was hopeful the tribe
would reach a favorable resolution
regarding its appeal of FEMA’s decision to cut off the tribe from future
funding.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR
LUTHERAN OUTREACH
“Now may the God of hope fill you
with . . .”
Would you say that you tend to be
optimistic or pessimistic? Let me put it
another way, when you wake up in the
morning do you tend to thank Creator
God for another day or do regret having
to get up?
Someone recently was telling me of
his situation and the hardships and
uncertainty that he was facing and
said that he tended to be an optimist.
He went on to say that he was also a
realist. So, what is a realist? A realist
‘hopes’ for the best and yet prepares
for the worst! A realist can be one who
trusts in Creator God, but most likely
does not.
There is a commercial that I caught
the other day about two fans that with
37 seconds left in the football game and
their team was down by more than a
ten points still thought that their team
could pull it out. You could classify
them as optimists, no doubt about it.
However, I would not call them realists.
For some reading this article, you
would probably call believers in Christ
optimists that are not realists. The
promises made by Creator God through
Christ are pie in the sky kind of hope
that has little or no impact on one’s
day-to-day life. They can not be further
from the truth.
The heading for my article is from the
Apostle Paul’s letter to those who are
loved by God and called to be saints –
believers in Jesus Christ, that lived in
Rome. Throughout his letter he refers
to ‘hope,’ spiritual hope! This is not the
type of ‘hope’ that we tend to think of,
like I ‘hope’ that I receive this or that gift
for Christmas; or I ‘hope’ that it snows
so that I don’t have to go to school or
work tomorrow. No, spiritual hope is
promised and assured hope, no doubt
about it! A Christian lives in peace and
with joy through this Christmas gift of
hope.
Paul wrote regarding spiritual hope:
‘Who contrary to expectation on the
basis of hope believed, with the result
that he [Abraham] became the father of
many nations, according to that which
was spoken, "Thus will be your seed"’
[Romans 4:18 Middendorf translation
CPH Commentary on Romans]. Abraham’s ‘seed’ would be none other than
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the
first Christmas gift from Creator God.
Abraham’s wife Sarah was past the
years of child bearing, past the point of

being a realist and yet believed through
spiritual hope.
You might be wondering but what
does this have to do with the reality of
your life today? The reality of our sinful nature affects us on a daily basis,
all the while living optimistically with
spiritual hope. Paul goes on to write:
‘Therefore, after being declared righteous from faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have also obtained
and retain access by faith into this
grace in which we stand, and we boast
upon hope of the glory of God. And
not only this, but we also boast within
pressures, knowing that pressure is
accomplishing patient endurance, and
patient endurance is accomplishing
tested character, and tested character
is accomplishing hope, and hope will
not put us to shame because the love of
God has been poured out and remains
within our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who was given to us’ [Romans
5:1-5 Middendorf].
The reality of our times not only
affects mankind, but all of creation.
Paul goes on to write: ‘Indeed I count
that the sufferings of the present time
are not of equal value compared to the
glory which is to about to be revealed
to us. Indeed, the fervent expectation
of the creation eagerly awaits for the
revelation of the sons of God. For the
creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but on account of the one
who subjected it, upon hope that also
the creation itself will be freed from
the slavery to the corruption into the
freedom of the glory of the children of
God’ [Romans 8:18-21 Middendorf].
Christians live in the hope of Christ’s
second Advent ‘coming.’ While this
spiritual hope is often scoffed at as
unrealistic, yet this spiritual hope now
brings joy and peace to those who believe in Jesus as the Savior of the world!
Paul near the end of his letter wrote:
‘Now may the God of hope fill you with
all joy and peace while believing, so
that you might have an abundance in
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit’
[Romans 15:13 Middendorf].
I close with these words of Paul:
‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer [Romans 12:12 Middendorf]. Join our preschool children

SUICIDE IN INDIAN COUNTRY PART 9
In the United States, suicide has traditionally been considered a White elderly
phenomenon. Suicide rates have been increasing for Nonwhites in recent years,
but it is not clear how this may have affected the age distribution, particularly
for specific Nonwhite groups. An investigation of official 1976 suicide statistics
among minority elderly revealed that suicide rates are also highest among the
old for Chinese-, Japanese- and Filipino-Americans. Among Blacks and Native
Americans, however, suicide rates are extremely low for the aged. Explanations
for these findings are suggested and the need for a long-term study is indicated.
Prominent studies of suicide among the Native American population and
arrived at the following conclusions: marriage and family discord, social disorganization, and culture conflict represent the basis for suicidal behavior among
this population sub-group. The contribution or impact of several stressors on
elderly Native American mental health as mediated by the presence or absence
of certain conditions.
Suicide Rates by Race/Ethnicity
In 2015, the highest U.S. suicide rate (20) was among American Indians and
Alaska Natives and the second highest rate (17) was among Whites (Figure 5).
Much lower and roughly similar rates were found among Hispanics (5.8), Asians
and Pacific Islanders (6.4), and Blacks (5.6).
Note that the CDC records Hispanic origin separately from the primary racial
or ethnic groups of White, Black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Asian
or Pacific Islander, since individuals in all of these groups may also be Hispanic.

JCPenney outfit display sparks controversy;
retailer takes action
by Jetske Wauran, Siouxland News
Sioux City, Iowa JCPenney outfit
display sparks controversy; retailer
takes action
A major retail store shows an outfit
display that sparked controversy to
a member of the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska.
I spoke with the woman who told
me, she took great offense after seeing this display two days ago, saying
that it demeans the Native American
community.
At first glance, these t-shirts saying
"Tribe Leader" at Sioux City's JCPenney's may appear like any other display
at the mall; outfits up for sale.
But in its plain sight, Michelle LaMere and her 13-year-old daughter
saw a different kind of message while
shopping last Friday, a message that
offended her.
"Just on either side of the display
there was one that had 'wine wine
wine,' the other had shirts that had
'beer beer beer," said LaMere.
LaMere, a member of the Winnebago
Tribe of Nebraska, said the display associates Native Americans with alcoholism, a long-time stigma which she is
trying to break.
So, she took to social media and
posted the display on Facebook where
her followers responded.
"After seeing how upset people
some people were about the picture, I
decided to go back to see what could
be done about it," said LaMere, who
didn't just go back for another picture.
This time she reached out to the
store and caught it all on camera. The
manager appears to be unaware of
the display and the impact it had on
LaMere.
"When the manager showed up, I
went live because I wanted the people
upset by the display, that something
was being done," said LaMere.
And, something was done. The video
shows the manager apologizing.
"So yeah, w e can definitely get rid
of these. I'm sorry that's offensive, I'm
glad you cleared that up for me. I'm
so sorry about that, no problem. I'm
sorry about that. We don't want to be
offensive to anyone, that's not what
we're about."
The video spread on Facebook,
already raking in more than 70,000
views.
"I would like people to be more , I
guess sensitive, educated about what
we face. So that maybe we could learn
to live a little bit more peaceably," said
LaMere.
LaMere said she really appreciated the store manager's apology, and
that all she wants his clarity for the
community. Because even a simple
display like this, could easily be misinterpreted.
J. C. Penney Corporate Office has
sent a statement saying:
We appreciate the customer making
us aware of the merchandise placement within our Sioux City store.
While there was never any intention
to associate these products, our team
immediately took action and corrected
the presentation upon learning of this
unfortunate merchandise arrangement. We want to express our sincere
apologies, as JCPenney prides itself
as being a diverse and inclusive organization, treating all customers as we
would like to be treated – with dignity
and respect.
A Special Holiday for Survivors
Haven House, Northeast Nebraska’s
domestic violence and sexual assault
agency, is working with community
members to make this a special holiday season for survivors. As a part of
the annual “Adopt-A-Family” program,
Haven House works with local community members, groups, businesses,
and organizations to provide survivors
of domestic violence and sexual assault
Christmas gifts to put under their tree.
“These survivors are focusing on
rebuilding their lives after escaping
abusive situations. Bills, food, and
other necessities take priority when
you have limited funds.” An advocate
from Haven House remarked on the importance of this program. “The AdoptA-Family program helps to bring hope
during one of the roughest periods in
survivors’ lives.”
This has been Haven House’s
39th year working to end domestic violence and sexual assault in Northeast
Nebraska and these silent epidemics
affect nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7
men in their lifetime.
Haven House provides free and
confidential services for Cedar, Dakota,
Dixon Thurston, and Wayne Counties
in Northeast Nebraska. In the past
year, Haven House has provided 5,823
meals and 1,941 shelter beds. Advocates responded to 1,160 crisis line
calls and conducted 27 educational
events. In addition, volunteers contributed 8,206 hours of support, assisting Haven House with providing
client services as well as a variety of
other agency related activities.
All families have been adopted, but
if you would still like to help meet the
needs of survivors, you may donate a
variety of gift cards from local businesses (fuel, groceries, etc.) or you
can find a list of needed items at www.
havenhousefsc.org/wishlist. Also, if
you would like to learn more about
Haven House you can visit www.havenhousefsc.orgor call 402-375-5433
or 402-494-7592. Haven House’s 24
Hour Crisis Line is also available for
victims and survivors to call for assistance: 1-800-440-4633.

NURSING HOME UPDATE
For over a year, our Long Term
Care (Nursing Home) Committee has
been working with Native American
Health Management, LLC., contractor,
to develop a Needs Assessment and
Business Plan in preparation for a
Long Term Care Facility for our Elders
and other Medicaid eligible individuals.
During that time, we have also been
working with our architect to design
the facility itself.
Towards the end of the summer
of 2017, the Needs Assessment and
Business Plan have been completed
and submitted to our Nursing Home
Committee. We found that not all of the
needs of our community were included
in the Needs Assessment. We felt that
we were “steered” down this one path
for a Medicaid eligible only facility without consideration of the “other” needs
that are out there, such as Assisted
Living, rehabilitation services, elderly
living quarters, etc. The Needs Assessment statistics were collected and
provided by the Contractor as per their
contract. Our committee decided that
the Needs Assessment was insufficient
for our purposes and have requested
that this document be updated with additional information. We found that our
Health Department was already doing
a Needs Assessment for our community
for a variety of purposes, so they will
be working with us and our Contractor
to collect information from our community members with a questionnaire
which is nearly completed regarding the
actual needs within our community.
So, we are back to the drawing board
to develop a Needs Assessment that reveals the true needs of our community
regarding what type of facility that we
need to build. Most of the architect
work has been completed but may have
to be modified based on new information that we receive. We said that we
would look into what it would take to
bring Assisted Living to our Community, and we will do that. Based on a
new, more accurate Needs Assessment
and Business Plan, we will be able to
focus on a facility that truly addresses
the needs of our community. We want
to do this right, so we have begun this
process again but we will be armed with
more accurate information, experience
and professionals who can help us get
to where we want to be, so it should not
take very long. Please have patience
with this process. A Long Term Care
facility has been discussed for over 50
years, so another 6 months or so should
not be much of a setback.

ANGEL TREE/TREE OF HOPE
The Angel Tree/Tree of Hope will reappear the week of November 20th, 2017
at the Winnebago Tribal Dental Clinic. In all the years of this program we are so
very grateful for the countless individuals, departments, and Tribal businesses
like HCI and WinnaVegas that do a fantastic job of providing for our many children. This year we expect a record number of children that we are hoping to
provide a gift for the Christmas Holiday.
Last year we met the goal of providing for 268 children of the Winnebago
community. These are children that are with the Child and Family Services
Department, the Temporary Assistance Needy Family Program, and the Juvenile
Services Program.
How to help our children - The Angel Tree will be located in the lobby of the
Winnebago Tribal Dental Clinic at the USPHS Winnebago Hospital on Tuesday
November 20th.
Simply choose a child from the tree and register your selection with the Dental
Clinic Front Desk. This is to keep track of each child to make sure none get
overlooked. If you do not want to select a child and just want to participate,
drop off any gift and we will match the gift to one of the children.
We ask you to please bring back the gift you wish to give unwrapped to the
Dental Clinic by no later than December 15th, 2017 so we can start wrapping the
gifts. December 18th and 19th will be a busy day of wrapping and volunteers
are welcome. Our phone number is (402) 878-2465.
We wish all a very Happy Holiday and a special thank you to those who have
helped in the past, will help in the present, and will be there to help in the future.
