stopped by the new Louis Bro’s Family

Style Café location in Winnebago on July

3rd and had some of their special dishes.

Pictured on the left is the special from

that day, their Texas Toast sloppy joes

and “The Gaga” which is their old-style

dish.

The WIN Staff also stopped by the Little

Priest Public Library to view some of the

WINNEBAGO, NE—On Friday, July

23rd the 155th Celebration of Chief

Little Priest the Last War Chief of

the HoChunk Annual Homecoming

Celebration took place at Winnebago

Veterans Park.

The three-day event averaged 7001000 people. This number was low

compared to previous years but there

was still a good turnout.

All in attendance of the Homecoming

Celebration had to be fully vaccinated

and provide their COVID-19 vaccination record card or immunization record

to gain entry into Veteran’s Memorial

Park.

Winnebago Tribal Communications

Officer Garan Coons said “I know not

everyone could attend, because some

haven’t been vaccinated, but that was

a decision that the veterans wanted to

make to try to keep everyone safe.”

Mona Zuffante Winnebago Public

Health Administrator said “I didn’t

know how many people would show

up especially from outside the community, dancers and singers, but when

you look around and think that all of

these people are vaccinated, it gives

us a ray of hope for the future. There

is a long way to go especially around

us, we really put our foot forward

here in Winnebago and being at 72%

is unheard of for any immunization let

alone COVID-19. I really think we sat

the bar high and the people really have

responded. It feels good to be here and

not really have to worry so much about

being around everybody.”

Those who were not able to attend the

155th Annual Homecoming Celebration

were able to watch it livestream on the

Winnebago Tribe’s Facebook page and

YouTube channel.

Overall, it was a good feeling for those

who were in attendance. There were

dancers, drum groups, spectators, and

vendors from all over the nation including Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts

who came and toured the Winnebago

Tribe of Nebraska in efforts to strengthen nation to state relationship.

“I want to say thank you to the veterans. I want to say thank you to the

men and women who serve in our nation’s uniform and to really thank you

again for allowing me to see this great

celebration of Winnebago culture and

heritage,” said Gov. Ricketts.

Others in attendance shared what it

was like for them to be back at powwow:

Judy Palomino Maney a dancer from

Illinois shared “it is so great to be back.

It gives me such a good feeling to be

here and to see my relatives finally. I

would like to thank the veterans for putting on the powwow and for taking the

leadership role in it and tribal council

for allowing them to do that.”

George Miller a Mens Southern

Straight dancer said “with the whole

pandemic going on it feels good to be

out there dancing to a real drum instead

over a speaker.”

Brittney Pelkey the head woman

dancer at this year’s annual homecoming celebration said “it was a really good

turnout. I am really glad it happened.

Last year it wasn’t the same not coming

home. Being here seeing all the flags,

veterans and all the warriors dancing

again feels good.”

Ashley Baker a Jr Womans Southern dancer of Oklahoma shared this is

my first time here. I like it and I really

enjoyed myself.

Louis White Eagle a Jr Womans

Jingle dress dancer from Black River

Falls, WI said “I really enjoyed myself,

it felt good to dance again after COVID.

Since everyone is vaccinated we can

walk around without our masks which

is nice. It was really hot but it was a lot

of fun, I got to see a lot of family and

friends. It was a good powwow.”

This year’s celebration was different

than past years due the pandemic but it

was also successful. The reason for its

success was everyone’s respect to the

Veterans request to be fully vaccine to

attend the 155th Annual Homecoming

Celebration.

On behalf of Winnebago Indian

News, we would like give a BIG thank

you to:

The Veterans

The Powwow committee

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska Clothing

Allowance Distribution

Winonah Leader Charge

WINNEBAGO, NE— On August 2, it was a team effort to distribute clothing

cards to all minor tribal members enrolled in school and between the ages of 3

to 18 years.

Each child received a visa card in the amount of $350 to spend on clothing

or school supplies.

“This year we had 1182 kids on the list” shared Shar Fogleman from Finance.

“This helps the tribal members by giving them extra money to spend on their

kids to get them ready for school.”

Ramona Sheridan Acting Director of the Enrollment department said “this is

to help all our school aged children with back to school clothes.”

Sarah Albaradr an enrolled tribal member shared “with COVID you’re out of

work so this helps that way you can have more money for the kids to get new

shoes and things like that.”

Another parent shared “it is really helpful because shoes are expensive, winter

coats are expensive so typically I use it to get them first week of stuff and save

the rest for winter coats so it is really helpful when winter comes and you never

know when you’re children are going out grow. Buying new school clothes can

very stressful.”

Question of the Edition:

Recipe time! What is one dish that you make that

you are very proud of?

Garan Coons

Winnebago Communications

Officer

Bethani Redhorn

WIN Office Manager

My recipe is the "Garanteed Ribeye

Special", Items needed is 12oz premium ribeye, Italian dressing, sea salt

and pepper. Let it soak in the Italian

dressing for a bit and grill it to medium

well done! It's so good!

One dish that I am very proud of is my

version of OG (Olive Garden) “Zuppa

Tuscana Soup.” It’s super delicious,

my family loves it! I asked them what

their favorite dish was, got several

different answers, but they eventually

agreed that our Zuppa soup is thee

fave! Ingredients consist of potatoes,

Italian sausage, kale, some half and

half, our secret spices, and you’ve got

yourself a delicious pot of soup.

History was made with Battle of the Bustles

Winonah Leader Charge

Winnebago, NE – For those who

tuned into the 155th Annual Winnebago Homecoming Celebration Live

Stream Broadcast were treated to

something new. On Sunday of Powwow

during the Battle of the Bustles Fancy

Dance Special a special broadcast production was debuted.

It featured some really great elements of broadcasting such as side

by side or split screen formant which

viewers could see both dancers at the

same time. This allowed for comparison

of dancers while they were competing

against each other. There was instant

replay in between songs something

that has never been done before especially in a powwow competition format.

There were two commentators who told

the crowd and people watching online

what to look for in fancy dance. The

people on-line were able to cast a vote

for who they thought won the competition. “That was really neat to see the

comments and support for the dancers

when we asked them to cheer on the

two dancers featured on the broadcast,”

said Garan Coons who served as one of

the broadcast commentators.

The formant for this broadcast could

only allow for two dancers going head to

head which seemed almost tournament

style. The special started off with all

16 adult men’s fancy dancers trying to

make it to the top 4. They danced two

songs and were judged. Then the final

4 dancers who had the most points

were announced. That’s when things

really got interesting. One dancer would

advance on to the championship round

and the other received a consolation

prize. They did a coin flip at the beginning of their dance off, which the winner was able to choose the drum group

and what type of song they wanted to

dance to. Fancy dance songs are really

fast and the type of beat ranges from a

straight song, sneak up, trick song or

a crow hop. The dancer who lost the

coin flip was able to choose the side of

the area he wanted to dance on. “The

dancers had to dance in a half moon

meaning they couldn’t go around in a

circle because of the two cameras on

them. So choosing a side in the arena

could have its advantages, one side was

shady the other was hot and sunny.”

Said Garan.

This was special was sponsored by

Little Priest Tribal College with additional support from HoChunk Inc.,

and the Winnebago Tribe’s Communications Department. The formant was

developed by Garan Coons and Cassie

Kitcheyan of Little Priest Tribal College.

“Live streaming isn’t going away anytime soon, I think this vision of having a

special powwow broadcast could set the

trend for how people watch powwows.

The dancers are professionals and great

athletes. If we can get more people to

watch them then the sky is the limit.

In the audience during the special we

had about 700 spectators at the powwow grounds but on-line we had 2,400

views. People from the around the world

had a chance to enjoy this broadcast.”

The idea is still taking shape and

more development is being planned by

Coons and Kitcheyan. They mentioned

creating a league called Major League

Powwows which the top 2 of every

adult category would be featured on

showdown Sunday. Garan mentioned it

would be awesome to say “The following

dancers have been called up to the Majors!” Our main goal was to bring something exciting and something fresh for

those who were not able to attend this

year’s celebration. The kids that didn’t

get a chance to get vaccinated could

watch this over and over again.

If you would like to watch the battle

of the bustles go the Winnebago Tribe’s

YouTube Channel and it’s on the Sunday, July 25th broadcast.

Pinterest is my BFF when it comes to figuring out meal ideas. I personally have

been on a healthy natural foods obsession recently but I only cook for myself

because no one else in the house will

eat anything plant based. But when it

I usually like to make a bacon ranch

potato salad and I usually get a request

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"healing troubled minds and

calming angry thoughts"

News from HoChunk Renaissance…

In collaboration with the Winnebago

Public School, HoChunk Renaissance

is in the final stages of preparation

of opening Winnebago’s first dual

language classroom. The classroom

is called Horaxik: The HoChunk Language Academy. In the HoChunk

language, Horaxiįk means to awaken

someone by voice. Symbolically, that

is what Horaxik’s ultimate hope is for

the HoChunk people. They hope that

by creating the next generation of fluent speakers, they can awaken the

language in the people.

In this academy, students will be

taught the learning domains; math,

science and social studies progressively in the Hocak language using

Hocak culture and history. Unlike

most other classrooms, all the teachers in the academy will be Hocak. They

have a classroom in the newest wing

of the Winnebago Public School on

the south end. The language academy

will be following the WPS calendar and

daily schedule. All staff and students

will be encouraged to wear traditional

clothing as often as possible so that

HoChunk culture becomes more and

more normalized.

Imagine, meals on the floor every

Friday. Staff and students in day

dresses and ribbon shirts, daily. Hocak language on the walls. Images of

notable Hocak people around their environment. Hocak children having the

opportunity to study their own music,

their own dance, their own customs,

their own etiquette, their own history,

their own science and their own environment. Thus, Hocak culture isn’t

something merely added into a small

part of their educational experience,

it is the very foundation upon which

it is built.

HoChunk Language Academy students will enroll in the program in

the first grade. During this first year,

they and the staff will be expected to

use the Hocak language 10% of the

time. The students will remain in the

Academy in the second grade where

the language ratio will increase to 30%

Hocak. In the final year, our goal is to

have everyone speaking Hocak 50% of

the time, or greater. Students will participate in the same standardized tests

as other elementary students. They will

also undergo language assessments

twice a year to track progress in Hocak language acquisition. The lessons

the students will learn will meet or

exceed the Nebraska state standards

of learning. During these three years,

no new students will be enrolled so

as not to disrupt the learning of the

entire cohort in an effort to “catch up”

a new student.

Research indicates that having a

strong identity is essential to achieving academic success. Instructors will

teach the students that they can and

should be proud to be Hocak. In correspondence with social studies lessons

they are planning to bring in special

guests who will serve as models of how

determined Hocak people can succeed

and make a difference in the world. Michelle LaMere said, “The students will

not learn solely about the Winnebago

people’s struggles and hardships. They

will learn about Winnebago people who

triumphed, succeeded, persevered,

and exceeded expectations. They will

learn what they, themselves, can accomplish.”

At this moment in time, the HoChunk language is in grave danger.

There are only five or so fluent HoChunk speakers in our community.

Only one of them is able or willing to

work at HoChunk Renaissance full

time to help preserve the sacred language. At HoChunk Renaissance it is

believed that It is imperative that the

tribe does everything possible to create

our next generation of Hocak speakers,

quickly.

Culture is just as important as

language. Horaxik students will learn

in an environment rooted in Hocak

culture and social norms. The social

structure of the classroom will be

relationship-based rather than hierarchal, just as HoChunk people taught

the children long ago. They will also

be using a combination of place-based

learning and project-based learning.

Both of those methods will allow staff

to engage the students in much more

hands-on and culturally relevant

educational opportunities that can

combine science, math, social studies,

language and literacy in one lesson.

The HoChunk Language Academy

will need support and commitment

from the families of the students as

well. HoChunk Renaissance will provide opportunities for the entire family

to learn HoChunk to contribute to the

success of the Academy students. Not

only will these young children have

the potential to become the tribe’s next

speakers, but their families will have

that same opportunity to help save the

language.

The classroom instruction will be

provided by HoChunk Renaissance’s

Language Revitalization team headed

by Project Development Specialist and

Nebraska certified elementary teacher,

Michelle Free LaMere, Nieja habax wiga.

Michelle earned her teaching degree,

with an emphasis in Linguistics, from

the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.

Michelle will be assisted by Language

Para Educators Averi LaPointe and

Pernell Blackfish Jr. Free-LaMere has

been working with the eminent speaker

to accelerate Horaxik staff’s proficiency

in the language. That effort was hindered by the onset of the Corona virus

pandemic, but through technology and

innovative strategies, the staff was

able to adapt and overcome that huge

hurdle.

Averi LaPointe, Nižu mani wiga,

said, “I am very excited to start this

new classroom! The environment that

we worked so hard developing will be

immensely beneficial for these young

minds. I want to see the children preserve our language by speaking it every

day, and practice vital aspects of our

culture. I hope to see these children

thrive in today’s world. I hope they get

to learn who they are and be comfortable with it.” Averi is the daughter of

Karla LaPointe and granddaughter of

Daryl LaPointe Sr. and Mary Greaves.

She is currently pursuing her associates degree in science at Little Priest

Tribal College.

Our other Language Para Educator, Pernell Blackfish, Ho sep ka, is

a Winnebago husband and father of

four children. He is the son of Pernell

Blackfish Sr. and Lou Francis Beaver.

He studied at Western Iowa Tech and

attended Winnebago High School. Pernell served as a Language Apprentice at

HoChunk Renaissance and previously

worked under a contract in which he

researched and worked on translating

core values relevant to the Winnebago

tribe. He said, “The excitement going

into this classroom brings me incredible joy, by bringing this culture and

language to the children.”

All three classroom instructors are

very excited for school to begin. They

have been working hard on learning the

language and developing the framework

for the Horaxik curriculum. They have

been looking at the model set by the

Indian Community School (ICS) in Wisconsin and will be visiting their campus

very soon to meet with their faculty.

Staff at Horaxik look forward to sharing curricular discoveries, assessment

methods and linguistic and cultural

pedagogy with their colleagues at ICS.

Horaxik has also drawn the interest of educators at the University of

Nebraska – Lincoln. Dr. Kara Viesca

has been working with HoChunk Renaissance staff in developing digital

assessments that could be used to

track language learning progress more

efficiently. She also provided a plethora

of research material for LaMere during

early development of the project. The

Roots Teacher Education Program at

UNL purchased many children’s books

written by indigenous authors for the

classroom.

The classroom will also be utilized

to provide a language proficiency training environment for other HoChunk

Renaissance staff. Teaching staff will

be encouraged to spend time in the

room engaging with the children using the language. Those staff will also

continue teaching the language cluster

classes to other grades in the school.

HoChunk Renaissance’s eminent

speaker and elder, Herman Brown

Jr. said, “This will help the children

build their identity. They will know

where they came from through Hocak

history and the uniqueness of our

ancestry. They will know, we survived

genocide. They will know that they

belong. They’re Ho cak. It’s inherent in

our DNA. The opportunities are here

for them and they’re getting bigger and

they’re multiplying. Every one of them

will move on.”

Have you watched the movie 'Indian

Horse?' The story of 'Indian Horse' is

based on a young boy being taken away

from his family to a Roman Catholic

Boarding School in Canada.

It opens with these words 'you can't

understand where you are going, if you

haven't known where you have been,'

(or something close to that). This movie

demonstrates this premise through the

telling of the story of Saul Indian Horse.

These word ring true in the revelation

near the end of the movie of the sexual

abuse done by one non-Native character. The viewer might have thought

that this was the only 'white' man who

offered encouragement. Sadly that

encouragement came at a price, the

price of shame.

During the telling of the life of Indian

Horse the prejudice that Saul endured

increased as he succeeded in his skills

as a hockey player. This prejudicial

behavior inflicted upon him, ended

up getting the best of him. He was

unable to control his anger. He turned

to alcohol.

At a talking circle, one offered this

advice to Saul, 'your silence is killing

you - you need to weep.' Hidden shame,

buried grief is not the path of healing.

This shame had been buried deep until

Saul returned to the boarded up shell

of the Boarding School and his past

came back into vivid view.

When one comes to the realization of

grief and shame that had been buried

deep the first step of healing begins.

What is the next step? Where does one

go from the shedding of tears? Is the

next step to allow anger and vengeance

to replace the pain of a wounded spirit

and a troubled mind? Or is there another way to healing?

Anger can move one who had been

abused to violence. This type of anger

can get out of hand as it becomes fueled by hatred. There is a difference

between righteous anger and taking

vengeance into one's own hands. Also

sometimes what has been done to others moves some to take aggression on

those associated with the abuse, even

though they did not cause the pain

or suffering. Recently such feelings of

aggression have led some to the burning down of church buildings. Does

such actions bring healing to troubled

minds and angry thoughts?

Sexual abuse breaks the circle of

a healthy life. Those who cause such

abuse should be held accountable and

be stopped from afflicting pain and

suffering on more and more victims.

Abusers of any type should be brought

to justice. They will be brought to justice, if not in their lifetime then by their

Creator in the life to come.

Recently someone shared with me

of being sexually assaulted. The pain

and the suffering were still evident in

the words expressed. And yet there

was no anger in the person's voice.

Nor was there any desire for ill will or

vengeance on the one who violated this

adult when a mere child.

I asked how is this person able to

come to this point with a healed mind

and with calm thoughts. This person

expressed a faith in Jesus and had

found healing through Him. Can it be

so simple as that?

This Christian came to the faith of

knowing that Jesus died for all sin,

including this person's sin. Through

faith in Jesus comes forgiveness and

with forgiveness comes the healing

of troubled minds and the calming of

angry thoughts. I ask you again, can

it be so simple as that?

Garden Update

Week of July 26, 2021

Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension Horticulture Educator in Dodge County

The Cicada Killer Wasp

The size of the cicada killer wasp is alarming to many people, prompting phone

calls and emails to Nebraska Extension Offices with questions of how best to

eradicate them. The female, at 2 inches long and with three bright yellow stripes

on her abdomen, is one of the largest insects in our landscape. The male is large

too, though smaller than the female at 1-½ inches long, and is stinger-less. Both

males and females are pollinators, moving pollen as they feed on flower nectar.

The cicada killer wasp gets its name from, as you would guess, killing cicadas.

The female cicada killer wasp has a stinger that she uses to inject venom into

cicadas, not killing the cicadas but instead paralyzing them. She then flies the

cicada to her nesting area, dragging it underground. The nest she digs herself,

locating it 12-15 inches below ground in loose dry soil. The female wasp, knowing the gender of her eggs, will see to it that male eggs each get one cicada as

a food source, while the female eggs, because they develop into larger insects

than their male counterparts, will get two cicadas each. A hatching larva will

bore into the paralyzed cicada, feeding on the cicada’s internal organs. Larvae

will feed over a ten-day period, leaving behind empty cicada exoskeletons when

finished. In readiness for winter, larvae spin a cocoon around themselves for

winter protection. Pupation and emergence as adults take place in the spring.

Female cicada killer wasps are mild mannered, often going about their business and paying little attention to human movement in the area. They will defend

themselves if treated roughly so leaving them to conduct their activities unhampered is a good idea. The male cicada killer wasp is territorial and because he is

stinger-less, will scare away people and would-be predators by buzzing around

them. This is all for show, however, because males cannot sting.

The dry open-soil areas beneath large shrubs or under roof eaves, around

rock retaining walls, and sometimes in vegetable gardens are places where cicada killer wasps like to dig their tunnels. Tunnel openings are ½ inch across,

slightly mounded, and made up of loose soil. Once the female has completed

her egg-laying and cicada-provisioning, she will close the opening to the tunnel,

leaving eggs to hatch and larvae to develop on their own.

Treatment to manage cicada killer wasps is often not necessary and broadcast insecticide applications in the area where they burrow are not effective.

Changing the environment where wasps prefer to nest is an effective means of

ensuring they re-locate—wetting down the area with water, filling empty spaces

with plants, and mulching with a 2–4-inch layer of wood chips.

A common predator of cicada killer wasp larvae are the immatures of the velvet

ant. This ant is not an ant at all, but a wasp, sporting velvety rust-colored hair

on its body. While colorful to look at, the velvet ant has a venomous sting that

is one of the most painful of all insect stings/bites. Velvet ants should never be

picked up for closer examination.

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts

made a visit in Winnebago Friday, July

Inc. executives for their entrepreneurial spirit in creating opportunities and

growth in the Winnebago community.

Diane Raley, Senior Vice President, Regional, Public and Corporate Affairs Division, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City; and Erin Morgan, VP of Strategic Development and Operations,

Ho-Chunk, Inc.

A delegation from the Federal

Reserve Bank of Kansas City recently visited Winnebago, touring the community and learning

about Ho-Chunk, Inc.’s development model.

Annette Hamilton, Ho-Chunk

Inc.’s Chief Operating Officer,

is a board member of the Kansas City Fed’s Omaha Branch.

This is the first outside group

the company has hosted since

early 2020.

“It was an honor to host fellow board members and colleagues,” Hamilton said. “We

hope the visit was both educational and inspiring, as we presented on tribal economics and

toured visible progress across

the community.”

Nearly two dozen board members, staff and associates of the

Kansas City Fed were treated to

a presentation about Ho-Chunk,

Inc. and a tour of the Winnebago

community, followed by a social

hour and formal meal served

by the Ho-Chunk, Inc. summer

interns.

The visit began with a presentation about the Winnebago

Tribe and Ho-Chunk, Inc. by

Hamilton and Lance Morgan,

Ho-Chunk, Inc. CEO.

From there, the group took a

bus tour of the Winnebago community that included Ho-Chunk

Village, Rock River Manufacturing, local housing communities

and the preschool facility Educare.

The tour was followed by a social and dinner at the Winnebago

Public Schools. Portions of the

dinner, which included buffalo

roast and Indian corn soup, were

procured by Ho-Chunk Farms,

locally sourced and traditional

to Winnebago culture.

Remarks were made during

this time by Hamilton; Victoria

Kitcheyan, Winnebago Tribal

Council Chairperson; Cher yl Burrell, Winnebago Public

Schools Assistant Superintendent; and Esther George, Presi-

dent and CEO of the Federal

Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

“It’s our job as the central

bank to understand the economy broadly, but the data can

only tell you so much,” George

said. “Being able to visit communities gives you insights into

the successes and barriers people face on a day-to-day basis.

Hearing these stories tells us a

lot about how to think about the

direction of the economy.”

George was also gifted a quilt

in honor of her visit.

The dinner was capped off

with a traditional performance

by the Many Moccasins Dance

Troupe.

Annette Hamilton speaks during the meal.

Esther George, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, is wrapped in a quilt that she was gifted in honor of her and the organization’s

visit. She is flanked by Annette Hamilton, Victoria Kitcheyan and Lance Morgan.

BAGO NEWS

TRUE OR FALSE: Abuse Against Men

There are many myths around intimate partner violence, particularly

around victims who identify as men. Myths about violence are harmful.

Myths keep people silent, add to shame and guilt, make people doubt the

violence and can even perpetuate violence. The truth is anyone can be a

victim of intimate partner violence.

FALSE: Abuse only happens to men who are in same-sex relationships.

TRUE: Abuse can happen to anyone. Abuse happens when one person

uses a pattern of violent and coercive tactics to gain and keep power and

control over another partner. Sexual orientation does not dictate abuse.

Men can be abused by a person of any gender.

PUBLIC NOTICE

OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT NOTICE TO PERFORM TRANSMISSION

LINE MAINTENANCE & INSPECTIONS ON WINNEBAGO/OMAHA TRIBE ALLOTMENTS SEPTEMBER 2021 THROUGH JANUARY 2022

Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is committed to maintaining the safe

and reliable operation of the electric transmission system. Federal, regional and

electric industry regulations and standards require maintenance and inspections of high-voltage overhead transmission lines.

OPPD and/or its contractor will be accessing transmission line right-of-way

to perform necessary maintenance work including various repairs, structure

replacements and inspections. Inspections include assessment of the condition

of poles, wires, insulators and hardware. This work allows OPPD to continue

to provide safe and reliable power.

Work is scheduled to begin September 2021 with expected completion by the

end of January 2022.

26 percent of gay men, 37 percent of bisexual men and 29 percent of

heterosexual men have experienced physical violence, experienced rape

and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (Ncadv.Org, 2021).

FALSE: Men will always be mistaken as the abuser if they report the violence and they won’t be welcome at domestic violence shelters or programs.

TRUE: While women are more likely to be the victims of abuse than men,

that is not always the case. When there is abuse in relationships between

men and women, it is untrue that men are always the abusers.

It is well documented that there is a need for more Native-specific shelters

throughout the country. However, many shelters house anyone who is a

victim of violence, including men. Some shelters may provide accommodations for men outside of their traditional shelter, such as at an extended

stay hotel. StrongHearts advocates can help male victim-survivors find a

shelter that is safe for them and their dependent children.

FALSE: Men should just tough it out

TRUE: This myth is particularly insidious as it denies the violence and

abuse, minimizes the real effects of violence and perpetuates harmful ideas

about rigid gender roles.

Tribal gender roles were once as diverse as the Tribes and cultures themselves. During colonization, Native peoples’ understanding of their place

within their tribal community was disrupted and destroyed. Traditional

gender roles were lost, harming future generations.

Predominant American culture teaches boys a harmful definition of

masculinity. They are often taught to suppress their emotions and that

controlling others is strength. This toxic messaging harms men who are

experiencing intimate partner violence, as it discourages them from seeking

the support they need and further makes them feel inadequate because

of the abuse.

Questions? Please call OPPD Land Management at (531) 226-3062 or email

us at landmanagement@oppd.com.

The impacts and experiences of violence are very real. In addition to

physical harm, victims may experience depression, anxiety, disconnection

from friends, family and themselves and post traumatic stress disorder

(PTSD) as a result of abuse. These impacts and experiences cannot just

be toughed out.

FALSE: Native men are "wife-beaters.”

TRUE: Native women experience a disproportionately high rate of violence; however, studies show most violence against Native women (and men)

is not caused by Native men. Of all Native women who have experienced

violence, 97 percent had an interracial perpetrator, meaning the violence

was done by someone who is not Native. (National Institute of Justice, 2021).

Stereotypes like this are unfounded and racist. They harm Native women

as much as Native men as it distracts from the reality of their situation and

does nothing to address the root causes of violence against Native peoples.

FALSE: Men can't be abused. They are bigger, stronger, tougher.

TRUE: Untrue.

Men are abused. No matter someone’s size or strength they can experience abuse. Intimate partner violence can take many forms and men can

experience physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse,

digital abuse, and cultural abuse. Most people experience many if not all

of the above forms of abuse.

One in seven men report having experienced severe physical violence

from an intimate partner in their lifetime (Cdc.Gov 2021).

38 million men have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate

partner in their lifetime (Cdc.Gov 2021).

One in 10 men have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking

by an intimate partner (Cdc.Gov 2021).

Emotional abuse is the most common form of abuse reported to StrongHearts Native Helpline. Emotional abuse is intentional tactics that cause

someone psychological, mental, or spiritual harm, especially as a means

of control over that person. Emotional abuse against men can include:

Questioning where they’ve been and questioning where they’ve been

and with whom.

Calling them names, belittling them.

Enforcing unhealthy gender roles and expectations: saying they aren’t

man enough, shaming them if they are not the main financial contributor to the household, pressuring them into sexual activity to prove their

manhood, etc.

Constantly accusing them of cheating.

The Winnebago Tribal Council is 100% AGAINST Meth. Not only is Meth

harmful to the individual, it destroys families and our community. Meth

use is not the HoChunk/Winnebago way of life. On 12-30-19, during the

Winnebago Mid-monthly Tribal Council meeting, a motion was passed to

publish all meth related offenses occurring on the Winnebago reservation,

in the Winnebago Indian News.

The following individual(s) has been arrested for a meth offense…

As of 07-6-2021, there are no recent meth arrest(s) to report.
