A FIFTY YEAR OLD FIGHT FOR WINNEBAGO LAND BACK, ACROSS THE MISSOURI RIVER
Written/Photography by: Jordana R. Bass
SLOAN, IA- It was the year 1970 when
approximately 2,000 acres of land was illegally
taken from the Winnebago tribe by the army
corps of engineers. A 50-year fight for the land
back hasn’t stopped. Today it continues, and
finally a land bill (H.R. 1240-Rep Feenstra) called
the “Winnebago land transfer act of 2023” is
being reviewed.
On a beautiful Monday morning June
7th, 2023, the temperature was 80 degrees and
the sun was shining. It was a great day to hit the
back roads for a site visit to the tracts of land the
tribe had been fighting for.
Prior to that the WTN Tribal Council met
with representatives from the U.S. representative
for Iowa’s 4th congressional district. The district
covers the western border of Iowa, which
includes Sioux city, IA and council bluffs.
Danelle Smith, legal council for the
WTN and Big Fire Law attorney opened up the
presentation by stating “the purpose of the bill
is to return the land that was taken by the army

lively, chasing each other around 😊
Tribal Councilman Louie LaRose and Winnebago Wildlife & Parks take a look at the land tract 210
corps of engineers from the Winnebago tribe in
1970.” I think visiting the land, seeing it in person
provides a lot of contexts for what the tribe is trying
to accomplish.
By sharing how the tribe has gotten to this
point, it is important to take a look back at the
history. In 1865, the Winnebago reservation was
established by treaty. Smith shared “the land was
promised to the tribe by treaty forever.” The United
States should take action to right this wrong and
honor that treaty that was entered into between the
Winnebago tribe and the United States in 1865.
At the time in 1970. There were two separate
condemnation actions brought by the army corps,
one being in Nebraska, and one across the Missouri
river on the Iowa side. Condemnation is when a
local, state, or federal government seizes private
property from an owner and then compensates that
owner for that property.
Tribal Councilman Louie LaRose was at
the forefront of the fight, and he shared a story
expressing “I was a team with Felix White Sr., and
Sterling Snake, we had a hell of a time. They told us
to take the money, we didn’t want the money, we
didn’t want to give up our land, it was ours. Sterling
told us we had a responsibility to fight for the land,
for our tribe. We came back to the tribal government
and told the council we have to fight for this land
and win. We were in charge of the fight with limited
resources. We didn’t know what kind of fight we
were getting into and the corps and the history of
beating tribes that are down the river."
Lorelei Decora, WTN Tribal Council
Secretary shared her recollections of the moment
when the Army Corps was looking to seize the land.
“I was a young teenager when the corps of engineers
seized our Iowa land. We felt like we didn’t have
a voice for what we considered illegal seizure of
our lands. I’m proud to see that finally there is a
possibility after so many years, we have a chance
to get our Iowa land back.”
Smith shared “in 1970, the District Court of
Nebraska ruled in favor of the army corps and said
that the condemnation actions could proceed both
in Nebraska and then in 1971. Where that case was
decided in Iowa. Again the tribe lost at the lower

LAND BACK

court level.”
Through that time there has
been years of litigation and has been
introduced through legislation as the
Winnebago land transfer act back in
2017. By rep Steve King “that was H.R.
3688, the Winnebago land act of 2017.
So, the tribe was happy to have that
bipartisan support at that time and to
have the bill introduced. The bill did
not go forward."
We come to today and as a
result of Congressman Sharice Davids
introducing the bill late last year.
As well as congressman Feenstra
who was then a co-sponsor of the
bill “we’re happy he (Feenstra) took
it upon himself to be a primary
sponsor of the bill that is now pending
congress.”
That bill was presented
before the United States house of
representatives committee on natural
resources subcommittee on Indian
and insular affairs.
During a legislature hearing
on “H.R. 1240- The Winnebago Tribal
Chairwomen Victoria Kitcheyan
provided a statement stating “the
bill would transfer the tribe’s former
reservation lands from the army corps
back to the department of interior
to be held in trust for the tribe. The
land in this bill is mostly woodland
and marsh along the Iowa side of
the Missouri river and recreational,
hunting, and fishing area.”
Once the land is restored to the
tribe, the Winnebago Wildlife & Parks
Department would be responsible for
maintaining the land.
Kitcheyan adds “the
department oversees hunting and
fishing on 10,000 acres of woodland
on the Nebraska side of the Missouri
river, they have the experience and
resources to regulate recreational and
conservation activities and ensure
laws and regulations are enforced.”
E m i ly Mc G ra t h (d i s t r i c t
director for rep. Feenstra) the bill
should be going through the full
national resources committee later
this week. Then after that it should be
going to the House (of Representatives)
for a full vote. The senate has a little
bit of a different process but should
be continuing to move through the
house.
However, the language in the
bill will need some readjusting Smith
expressed “the tribe does not intend
to do gaming. To eliminate that the
need to explain that we will go insert
a sentence in the bill that says gaming
would not be permitted on these
lands.”
Circling back Decora
expressed “I remember when I was
a teenager when it was decided they
were discussing we cant take on
the corps of engineers. We’re the
little Winnebago tribe of Nebraska,
some were getting up. At that time,
I remember Reuben Snake, he was
sitting back and listening, when
everybody got done, he said we’re
going to be okay, we’re going to make
friends along the way. You come in
here from Feenstra’s office. Those are
the friends he predicted.”
After the site visit, the group stopped to take a pic. Staff from the Physical
Resources crew had a big hand in helping the Tribe get to this point.
LaRose has been a part of the
fight for the Iowa land back for 53
years. He expressed” I keep telling the
council, we are the Winnebago tribe
we fight. to take advantage of people
who want to help us. To find people
who understand what we’re talking
about. When we say we’re natives,
we don’t believe in taking land and
dividing it up, we’re apart of mother
earth and the land is apart of us.
You’re helping us in a way that’s hard
to explain how much I appreciate your
endeavors you brought us together.”
Pinagigi to all those who helped
make this historical moment happen
from our tribal leaders from the past,
present, and future generations of the
Winnebago tribe.

“Growth” has been the theme
with Ho-Chunk Farms since
its inception in 2012, and this
year is no different.
“We’ve added another
full-time employee, putting
us up to seven now,” said
Aaron LaPointe. “And we’ve
added two Ambassadors
to our team, both Tribal
members.”
Aaron has recently
been promoted to Ho-Chunk,
Inc.’s Senior Director of
Business Operations, where
he oversees operations at HoChunk Farms, Pony Express,
Ho-Chunk Trading Group,
and Management Services.
Filling his previous
position as Agribusiness
Manager is Cory Cleveland,
Winnebago Tribal member
and former Ho-Chunk, Inc.
intern. Cory will handle the
day-to-day operations at HoChunk Farms and has worked
with Ho-Chunk Farms for
over a year.
A d d i t i o n a l l y,
longtime Ho-Chunk Farms
employee and Tribal member
Jeffrey Thomas Jr. has been
promoted to Agribusiness
Operations Senior Supervisor,
where he will manage field
operations.
“I’m happy to see
the growth at Ho-Chunk
Farms and to have the ability
to promote Tribal member
employees while we continue
to enhance the food and land
sovereignty of the Tribe,”
Aaron said.
T h e Fa r m s t e a m
will manage 6,200 acres of
land total this season, which
will mostly be comprised
of conventional corn and
soybeans, but also 1,000 acres
of organic crop. Additionally,
they will farm 14 acres of
Indian corn.
Additional staff and
the recent purchase of a
planter with ARPA funding
has allowed the Ho-Chunk
Farms staff to farm 3,000
acres themselves, up from
1,200 acres from 2022. The
remaining acres are farmed
by contractors.
A m a j o r go a l m o v i n g
forward is acquiring more
farmland.
“Our growth is
dependent on our ability to
acquire land,” said Aaron.
“ We ’ ve b e e n wo r k i n g
with the Tribe on land
acquisitions.”
Since its inception,
Ho - C h u n k Fa r m s h a s
worked directly with the
Tribe to increase farmland
lease values by creating
competition on trust land
and separately begin buying
back non-trust farmland
within the reservation.
The approach has
created millions in annual
lease payouts for the Tribe
a n d Tr i b a l m e m b e r s.
Each of the last two years,
Ho - C h u n k Fa r m s h a s
returned $1.4 million in
farmland lease payouts to
the Winnebago Tribe and
Tribal members.

The Boys and Girls Club recently took a tour of Ho-Chunk

OBITUARY
Irene Marie LaMere, 81, of
Colorado Springs passed
away into the embrace
of Our Lord on May 31, 2023
after a short illness.
Irene was born in
Winnebago, Nebraska on
April 9, 1942 to Vernie and
Gail LaMere and was the
third of eight children. She
graduated from Bishop
Heelan High School in
Sioux City, IA and worked
at a variety of places in
Sioux City before moving
to Colorado Springs in the
late 70’s. She was a tenacious
and hardworking woman
who worked mostly in the
Electronics
and Defense industries in
the Colorado Springs area,
eventually retiring from
Northrop Grumman in the
late 90’s. She made many
lasting friendships
throughout her career and
thoroughly enjoyed her post
retirement jobs at FoxworthGalbraith Lumber Company
in Monument, CO, and as a
babysitter/caregiver for
the children of relatives
and friends. Irene enjoyed
reading, gardening, tending
to her home and took in
many animals over the
years. She absolutely loved
her dogs!
Irene is preceded in death
by her parents, Vernie
and Gail (Dean) LaMere;
siblings, Sister Mary
Anno LaMere of Denver
and Charles LaMere of
Pueblo, CO. She is survived
by sisters, Gwen (Tim)
McKivergan and Theresa
(Mark) Rush of Texas;
brothers, Harold ( Jean)
LaMere, Edward (Sherry)
LaMere and Tim (Cheryl)
LaMere of Nebraska. She
had numerous nieces and
nephews, including grand
and great-grand, whom she
loved very much. She was a
VOCATION OF FATHERHOOD
wonderful daughter, sister and
aunt. Irene was especially
close to nieces Teresa and
Michelle who helped her so
much over the years. (We all
appreciate you both for taking
such good care of her.) Her wit
and sense of humor will be
missed by us all.
A celebration of Irene’s life
will take place at 11:00 AM on
June 23, 2023 at Holy Trinity
Catholic Church in Colorado
Springs, followed by the Rite of
Committal in South Sioux City,
Nebraska on July 28, 2023.
In lieu of flowers, please consider
a donation in her memory to
Mary’s Home, a safe haven for
women and children escaping
cycles of poverty, abuse and
homelessness in Colorado
Springs.

Some of the things that parents go through are
really awful. That is a fact, and there’s nothing
wrong with your child seeing your distress; after
all, she is learning that life can indeed be hard at
times. But to learn resilience, she also needs to
see you cope and then gradually recover. That’s
the real life lesson she learns by watching how
you handle things.
When things go wrong,
you can model resilience by:
• appropriately expressing your anger, hurt, loss;
• showing that you go to trusted persons
(including health professionals) to talk things
over and ask for help;
• showing confidence (sometimes even when
you don’t feel it) that you’re going to handle the
problem;
• showing your pride when you do solve the
problem, or make a step in addressing part of it.
If you are pretty good at regaining stability after
a bad experience, you only need to let your child
see how you do it. If you are depressed or stuck
in negative territory, be aware that your child is
watching – and learning from – you. Get help so
that you can move on; there’s nothing wrong with
letting your child know: “I’m seeing a counselor,
someone who can help me fix what’s wrong so I
can feel better.” A final point; although you want
to model resilience, it’s the child’s resilience
we’re concerned with here. If things in your life
cause you to lose your temper, don’t try to fool
yourself that giving him a quick hug afterwards
makes everything okay. You may feel better,
but he’s likely to feel hurt and confused by your
mixed messages. If you recognize that this a
pattern of behavior, you’ll probably benefit from
getting help to change it; and this is a life lesson
in resilience you want your child to copy.
from social activities? The answer? Lots of
things! And some are the same things that hurt
adults:
• the loss of a loved one;
• parental separation or divorce;
• physical (including sexual) abuse of himself
or a sibling;
• witnessing violence or substance abuse at
home, or in the neighborhood;
• poverty, and the worry that it brings;
• parental job loss;
• a serious illness of either the parent or the
child.
You know what these things feel like; you know
too that it can take some work and some time
to get over them. Your child is likely to have the
same range of emotional responses as you do,
but probably with a good deal more doubt and
fear. The fact is that children do not see things
just the way adults do and sometimes the parent
barely notices what is, for the child, a traumatic
experience. Some examples of these:
• being and/or feeling different from other kids;
• difficulty measuring up to expectations;
• parents who may fight a lot, leading the child
to fear a divorce even when there’s none being
considered;
• being excluded or bullied at school;
• being humiliated in front of others;
• frequent moves, especially if the child is the
quiet type;
• absence of parent.
Submitted by: Pastor Ricky Jacobs
This past Sunday, many took time to thank
his/her father for serving in his God-given
vocation or calling. This special day is in
accord with the following command of God:
“Honor your father and your mother, that your
days may be long in the land that the Lord your
God is giving you" [Exodus 20:12 (ESV)].
The vocation of fatherhood mirrors that of
our Creator - Jesus' heavenly Father. Creator
God is the giver of life. Reflect on the words
of Paul to the saints, the believers in Christ,
at Ephesus: 'For this reason I bow my knees
before the Father, from whom every family in
heaven and on earth is named, that according
to the riches of his glory he may grant you to
be strengthened with power through his Spirit
in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith—' [Ephesians
3:14–17a (17b-19) (ESV)].
Creator God blesses men with the role of being
fathers of their child(ren). An earthly father is
to serve in many ways including providing for
the basic needs of his offspring by providing
emotional, mental, physical and spiritual
support.
Creator God has also called fathers to serve as
discipliners of their children. Again, this role
is similar to the role of Creator God. Solomon
wrote the following proverb: “My son, do not
regard lightly the discipline of YAHWEH, nor
be weary when reproved by him. For YAHWEH
disciplines the one he loves, and chastises
every son whom he receives” [Proverbs 12:511].
It is truly an act of love to discipline, not to
abuse, but to train up a child in the fear (a
healthy respect) of YAHWEH. We turn again
to Paul and his letter to the saints at Ephesus:
'Fathers, do not provoke your children to
anger, but bring them up in the discipline and
instruction of the Lord' [Ephesians 6:4 (ESV)].
One of the key roles of a father is to be the
spiritual teacher of his child(ren). The father
is to lead his family in prayer. He is also to lead
his family in attending divine services, where
Creator God serves his family - his adopted
sons and daughters, on a weekly basis.
The father is to instruct his family in regard
to the Lord Jesus through daily devotions,
reading God's Sacred Word and leading them
in prayer. It is good for a father to be a model
of a spiritual warrior by beginning his day in
prayer, offering a prayer at meal times, and
closing the day with a prayer. What a comfort
it is to be blessed with such a father!
Adults need to also remember that their greater
experience with life may mean they tend to
dismiss as just “a little bump in the road” what
is for a child a big deal. If you think back to your
own childhood, you can easily understand how
adults make light of something that is huge in
the eyes of a child – and, the fact is, some things
are huge for a person of any age.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
REMEMBERING DAPHNE EVANS, NOV. 26, 1961 - JUNE 14, 2023
Submitted by: Family of Daphne
WINNEBAGO, NE - Daphne Evans,
known by her Ho-Chunk name, Caxji
Nacge Pi Maxi Nazi (Good Buffalo Heart
Woman Standing On Cloud), passed away
on June 14th, leaving behind a legacy of
love, community service, and a profound
impact on those she touched. She was 61.
Daphne was born on November 26,
1961, in Winnebago, Nebraska, embracing
the rich heritage and traditions of her
Native American roots. As a proud member
of the Winnebago Tribe, she dedicated
herself to advocating for Indian Education
and the well-being of her community.
In her early years, she attended
Winnebago Public Schools and then
graduated from Phoenix Indian High
School and was crowned Ms. Phoenix
Indian High School in 1980, exemplifying
her poise, intelligence, and leadership.
Throughout her life, Daphne actively
engaged in various roles and initiatives
that shaped the lives of many. She served
as a member of the Winnebago School
Board, where she tirelessly worked to
enhance educational opportunities for
tribal youth. Her passion for education
and her commitment to fostering a
nurturing learning environment were a
driving force in her work.
Daphne's dedication to her tribe
extended beyond the realm of education.
She served on the Winnebago Tribe's
Enrollment Committee, playing a vital role
in ensuring the integrity and inclusivity
of tribal membership. Additionally, she
served as the Assistant Administrator of
Housing, diligently working to provide
safe and affordable housing options for
her community.
R e c e n t l y, D a p h n e a s s u m e d
the esteemed role of Ho-Chunk, Inc.
Ambassador, representing her tribe with
grace, dignity, and a commitment to
economic empowerment. Her efforts to
strengthen the tribal economy and create
opportunities for future generations will
continue to have a lasting impact.
D ap h n e's i mp a c t e x t e n d e d f a r
beyond her professional and community
involvement. She was a loving mother, a
devoted wife, and a cherished friend. Her
nurturing spirit, infectious laughter, and
kind words brightened the lives of those
around her. She enjoyed the company
of four canine fur babies. Daphne will
forever be remembered for her resilience,
compassion, and unwavering support.
Daphne is survived by her husband Reno
Evans, her mother, Catherine Frenchman,
her siblings, Jamie (Diane Redhorn)
Frenchman, Sharon (Avery Blackhawk)
Frenchman, and John Bouchal, her sons
Teddy (Roxanne) Frenchman and John
(Kristina) Jensen, her daughter KT Evans,
her seven grandchildren, and a community
grateful for her contributions. Her memory
will be forever etched in the hearts of those
who had the privilege of knowing her.
Wake services will begin June 15, 2023
at the Blackhawk Community Center, and
funeral services on Saturday, June 17th
at 2 pm at the same location. Issac Smith
officiating.
May her legacy continue to inspire and
guide us, and may her spirit find eternal
peace.
