The Winnebago Tribal Council met with leadership from WinnaVegas, Ho-Chunk, Inc. and the Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System. This was the first such meeting and helps establish an ongoing opportunity to share information among the Tribe’s major organizations and the council. Participants hope this communication will lead to increased efficiency and collaboration throughout the Tribe to better
serve members’ needs. Topics discussed during this first meeting included status of the Tribe’s assumption of the former IHS Hospital, now
12 Clans Unity Hospital, and the timeline for certification by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Ho-Chunk, Inc. updated the
council on the legal disputes related its tobacco manufacturing and distribution businesses. WinnaVegas leadership provided information
on efforts to protect market share and raise revenue in an increasingly competitive gaming market. Discussion items among the whole group
included the Tribe’s budget challenges, strategies to increase revenue and identifying cost savings. There was an agreement to continue the
conversation and working toward those shared goals.

Building a Healthy Community: An update from the Winnebago
Comprehensive Healthcare System

Once again the date has changed for repairs to the shoulder of U.S.Highway 75
south between Winnebago and Macy.

Winnebago Tribal leaders met this week
to discuss the overall condition of the
Winnebagoes homeland, progress is
afoot.

The Winnebago Comprehensive
Healthcare System ( WCHS) has been in
operation for a little over four months.
Currently, the two major components of
WCHS are the Twelve Clans Unity Hospital and the Winnebago Health Department. The hospital services primarily
focus on clinical and emergent patient
care, while the health depar tment focuses on public health, preventative
and communit y based health needs.

care and reduce the burden of travel to
outside providers, a contract has been
established with Avera Health to begin
telehealth specialty clinic ser vices at
Twelve Clans Unity Hospital. Specialty
clinics will include Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Wound Care, Rheumatology and Behavioral Health.
There is still much work to be done
but our goal is to work with the community in the development of a system
that strives to enhance wellness for
ever yone from our children to our
elders. Competent, compassionate
c a re a n d re s p o n s i ve n e s s to p a t i e n t

guiding principles. It is a new day for
comprehensive healthcare for the Winnebago people.

Native women support longtime Democratic leader ahead

By Acee Agoyo
The 116th Congress has yet to begin
but the two Native women who won
their historic campaigns are casting a
key vote this week.
Democrats who will be ser ving in
t h e U. S . H o u s e a re m e e t i n g b e h i n d
closed doors on Wednesday to choose
their leaders. And both Deb HaaWinnebago Model Xerxes Long posed for
this artists rendering that is abound the
newly commissioned U.S.S. Sioux City.

Positions throughout the organization
are being filled on an ongoing basis and
training and planning for the eventful
Centers for Medicaid & Medicare (CMS)
certification of the hospital is underway
with more to come.
Since day one, the leadership team
has been busy assessing operations,
improving processes and work ing to
establish services that meet the health
care needs of our patients and community. For example, an Express Care
Clinic has been established with a goal
of offering timely and efficient care that
is patient driven. Another significant
under t ak i ng is t he est ab lishm ent of
inpatient care which will become operational by Januar y, cer tainly one of
the top priorities sought by the Tribe.
Furthermore, in order to provide our pa-

a t

land and Sharice Davids have made it
clear that they plan to vote for Nancy
Pelosi as Speaker, the highest-ranking
post in the chamber.
Haaland, who hails from the Pueblo
of Laguna, has repeatedly spoken in
suppor t of Pelosi since winning election in New Mexico's 1st Congressional
District.
“She’s the only person I believe that
we need in this tumultuous time with
the president we have, to stay on track
to make sure that we are fulfilling promises to the American people,” Haaland
said on the ABC News program “ This
Week” on November 18.
Davids, who will be representing the
3rd Congressional Distric t in K ansas,
went public with her suppor t of Pe losi on Saturday.
"I also have said time and again that
whoever would get my vote for speaker
had to have a plan for fixing the way
business is done (or more recently, not
done) in Washington," the Ho - Chunk
Nation citizen said in a statement in
which she highlighted the youthful and
diverse nature of the incoming class of
Democratic lawmakers.

Despite securing the support of
the first Native women to win election to
the House, Pelosi has not found her
path to leadership to be an easy one.
Though she made histor y as the first
woman to serve as Speaker more than
a decade ago, she is facing opposition
and criticism from members of her own
party in her bid to reclaim the post.
But, as Davids pointed out, no one
has officially announced a challenge
to Pelosi, who represents California's
12th Congressional District. One lawmaker who was considering a run for
Speaker, Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio,
has voiced concerns about the party's
commitment to diversity and protecting
the voting rights of Native Americans
and other minorities.
Fudge, however, endorsed Pelosi last
week in light of concessions being made
on those issues.
"I am now confident that we will
move for ward together and that the
116th Congress will be a Congress of
which we can all be proud," she said in
a statement.

Thoughts from the Kids…

We spend a lot of time on public
r e l a t i o n s l o c a l l y. S o m e o f i t h a s
been effective, but a lot has just been
treated as noise. I learned a long time
ago that some people specialize in being crabby and we sure aren’t going to
change their mind with corporate P.R.
H o w e v e r, I d o t h i n k w e c a n h a v e a
much bigger impact by educating our
young people about what we do and
the opportunity they have with us.
The last t wo years we have taken
the summer youth workers on a tour
of Ho - Chunk , I nc.’s local businesses.
This year we also added another tour
for some of the k ids in the Academy
at the high school.
We tr y and jam in as much education as possible while also bouncing
around our various businesses in
t o w n a n d i n S i o u x C i t y. W h a t h a s
surprised me is how little the young
people ac tually k new about what we
do and the fact that we have offices all
over the countr y and internationally.
I suppose it figures that they wouldn’t
know a ton of specifics, but many had
n e ve r b e e n i n m o s t o f o u r f a c i l i t i e s
including the Ho-Chunk Centre.
We do surveys at the end and most
o f t h e s t u d e nt co m m e nt s we re ve r y
positive and the sur vey results were
o v e r w h e l m i n g p o s i t i v e . H o w e v e r,

By Lance Morgan

despite the positive responses only
40 percent of the students agreed or
strongly agreed they could see themselves working at Ho-Chunk, Inc.
These are some of our best students and we just opened their eyes
about ever ything we do and how bad
we will need them in the future and
over half were not sure they could see
themselves working for us. Not wanting to work somewhere isn’t a crime,
but their responses didn’t make sense
considering all the other positive comments made in the survey.
If I had to guess I think it is a
confidence issue. Our young people
often don’t have a lot of exposure to
internal business operations and it
is all kind of a myster y to them when
th e y v i s i t— th i n k Char li e visi t ing t he
C h o co l ate Fa c to r y. M o s t d o n’t h ave
parents that work in management
positions or their parents are not entrepreneurs, so business isn’t a talked
about at the dinner table.
I have seen this before with our
interns. They are so tentative in
t h e b e gi n n i n g, b u t we t a k e t h e m to
normal business meetings, corporate
board meetings and expose them to
a ton of business situations. After
a month or two they become much
m o re co m fo r t a b l e a n d s t a r t to o p e n
up verbally. By year t wo or three of
the internships you can see their confidence start to emerge and they start
becoming leaders for the new interns.
We are running a marathon in our
co m m u n i t y. C h a n gi n g p e o p l e’s i d e a
of what is possible will take some
time. So, we will keep hiring interns.
We will keep giving tours to summer
youth workers and we will tr y to expose as many of our young people as
possible to what we do at Ho - Chunk ,
I nc. We will still do our normal corp o r a t e P. R . , b u t i n o u r c o m m u n i t y,
you must show people one at a time
and since we are small we are going
to tr y to plant a seed in the minds of
all our young people.

Council Speaks…

Hello Tribal Members,
I wanted to first of all thank those of
you who believed in me enough to take
a seat here as a tribal council member.
I can say that upon coming into this
position I thought it would be a new
adventure and exciting to simply accomplish what our constitution states.
To this day it has not been so. In my
honest opinion all I have witnessed is
micro managing at its best.
It is so true what I have been told
that some may make it hard to sit at
this table. I have not even been here
for two months but as of lately Chairman White, Vice Chairman St Cyr and
Treasure Warner have made it almost
impossible for me to continue to work
as an independent tribal contrac tor
to do any work here. To earn money
honestly to provide for my family at no
cost to my people which I feel there is
simply nothing wrong with this.
I have found that politics is ver y
ugly and I am not a Politician, I am just
like ever y other hard- working tribal
member. It has crossed my mind that
maybe this is not for me, but I took an
oath and will continue to do the best
I can. My goal was to simply try and
bring some new things to our town by
hopefully working with our economic
arm to make this happen, such as a
bowling alley, food franchise, major

truck stop and any other type of business that would increase revenue back
to us for our future generation. Our
dividends and casino profits just can’t
support our needs any more. We need
to invest!
With that being said I will now be
seeking work outside our community
that will require me to travel and have
much longer days and on occasion
may make it hard for me attend certain
meetings. What I have seen so far in the
meetings isn’t anything that involves
progress for my people or the future so
far. I will do the best I can to get to the
meetings, I just feel that I am not here
to micro manage and run day to day
operations. This is why we have program directors and department heads.
I love my people and only want the
best for us but I need to support my
family as well, and its my choice to do
this at no cost to you, its an honor to
serve you, my people.
I don’t want to pay these council
men to manage me or my business
and my livelihood nor should you the
people. Who and how are these salaries determined, maybe you the people
need to decide after all its your tribal
dollars.
Our constitution at one point, stated
that to pay the council it had to be a
majority vote by the people, and today
it states that the council can be paid
but it must be reasonable and justifiable and I believe that our tribal dollars
that pay these top seats well over two
hundred thousand plus dollars is not
reasonable and justifiable. At least
from what I’ve seen so far.
I honestly feel the remaining council
have the passion and vision as I do and
have faith in them. Maybe I’m right
maybe I’m wrong, but I can clearly see
who is only worried about their pockets
before my people’s needs.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR
LUTHERAN OUTREACH
"Not Today"

The other day I saw a sweat shirt with
these two words on it: Not Today.
I am sure that these two words, taken
together, can be understood in so many
ways. Just what are those ways? They
might be referring to one's response to
God. 'I am not walking in your ways today. I am not stopping what I know in my
heart is wrong today!' Or, 'I am not getting
out of bed or being forced or shamed into
going to church today.' Or 'I have no time
for reading the Bible, or praying today.'
'Not today Lord, maybe tomorrow or next
Sunday, but not today!'
Each and every Sunday is like Thanksgiving Day where God invites you to
gather together as a dear child of God
and feast on His Word and Sacraments.
And yet many will say: 'I don't feel good, I
am tired, I stayed up too late last night.'
The list of so-called excuses goes on and
on and on, till it is too late. Ask the five
foolish virgins what happened to them in
Jesus' parable regarding the ten virgins,
for them it was sorry too late! [see Matthew 25:1-13] For those who choose to
allow their faith in Jesus to grow cold they
will hear these words: "I never knew you."
Or you can take these two words - Not
Today - as led by the Spirit of God. The
reasons you are encouraged to attend
church each and every week is two-fold.
First it is to build your spiritual life up.
And second, it is to build one another up.
God's gracious invitation to His House
each week is to strengthen you spiritually.
Paul wrote these words as he attempted to prepare believers in Christ of His
return on the Last Day: 'Now, brothers,
about times and dates we do not need
to write to you, for you know very well
that the day of the Lord will come like a

Pastor Ricky Jacob

thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will
come on them suddenly, as labor pains
on a pregnant woman, and they will not
escape.
But you, brothers, are not in darkness
so that this day should surprise you like
a thief. You are all sons of the light and
sons of the day. We do not belong to the
night or to the darkness. So then, let us
not be like others, who are asleep, but let
us be alert and sober (well balanced). For
those who sleep, sleep at night, and those
who get drunk, get drunk at night. But
since we belong to the day, let us be sober
(well balanced), putting on faith and love
as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not destine
us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died
for us so that, whether we are awake or
asleep, we may live together with him.
Therefore encourage one another and
build each other up, just as in fact you
are doing' [1st Thessalonians 5:1-11 NIV].
In order to be sober, or well balanced,
one needs to be led by the Spirit of God.
Withou t G od's Spir it's bles s ing a nd
strength and guidance, we all too often
would fall off the wagon and be lost.
With God's Spirit we can resist temptation and say: 'NOT Today Satan! I am
not going to get drunk today. I am not
going to dishonor Creator God with my
words, or my thoughts, or my actions.'
Each and every day you can remember
that God has placed His Name upon you,
when you were baptized in the Name of
the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit. Your sins were washed away and
God's Spirit took up residence in your
heart. Each and every day you can live
destined to receive salvation through
faith in Jesus your Lord and Savior!

Our Own Dr. Rex’ Life of Service
We all know he can sponsor and organize a fun-filled Easter Celebration, a
lot of us also appreciate his “Angel Tree” at Christmas time, but over this past
summer our own Dr. Rex Monif was deployed to Honduras to serve our troops
and then some, “here are some shots to share from my latest Army Deployment,
says Dr. Monif.
“I was on Active Duty in Honduras from June until October 15th at JTF-B
Soto Cano. During the deployment (other than treating our deployed soldier,
marines, and airmen), I did many missions to treat the children at the local
schools and orphanages.”
“I also enjoyed lecturing at the Ministry of Health and the Dental School. I
even received a letter of appreciation for my efforts by the Honduran President”.
Dr Rex would like us all to know “how grateful I am to have the support of
the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and my patients who have always supported
their Warrior citizens”.
LTC Rex Monif

Dear Mr. Editor;
At last we heard from two council members, but they really didn’t say much.
Maybe the Letters to the Editor have been beneficial. That is all they were meant to
be from the first. To wake up the tribal members. But…Just read on.
Is micromanaging and mismanagement of tribe assets a dereliction of duty? Our
take on micromanaging is keeping a heavy hand on the departments of an entity and
telling a director how to or what to do on or with certain things. Any micromanaging
is. Bottom line is you don’t have confidence in your upper mangers or directors,
then whey have them or pay them high salaries. If things fail, you have no to one
to blame but yourselves.
With cash cows’ earnings down what is the plan. Bleed the programs dry? That
it might be needed in the operations and delivery of program services to tribal members. It seems that members are being left out of the picture. Are you sure that you
know what’s going on?
Which leads to another question what exactly are we invested in and for how
much. Is our investments in companies? Real Estate? Or 401k’s? Please answer, “all
of them”. And how much are we worth? These are things the tribal Treasure should
be telling us at least once yearly if not quarterly. Why do we have to pull teeth or
play 20 questions to find out anything?
We have educated tribal members. Now more than ever we need their educations.
We need their education here, because our work force knows more than the council
does. Do we need to have an education qualification added to election criteria?
We thank the Winnews for its editorial policy making it possible to bring forth what
is being perpetrated in OUR name. IF some want to turn a blind eye or deaf ear, I
pray that their children and grandchildren can live with every misstep of the council.
We leave wit this: We pray that you are loved by some, appreciated by many and
are content with where you have been and where you are going. That you have piece
of mind with what you know and didn’t do anything about.
Two like-able Ladies,
Ruby Bellenger & Jeanie Eagle

Before Davids came forward, 16 Democrats -- including five newcomers -- said
they would not support Pelosi for Speaker.
Their November 19 letter called for "new
leadership" in the House.
" Th e re a re p l e nt y o f s t ro n g D e m ocratic options. I will vote for one of
them," Ben McAdams, whose close race
i n U t a h ' s 4 t h Co n g re s s i o n a l D i s t r i c t
was finally called in his favor later in
the week, wrote in a post on Twitter.
Democrats have won at least 233 seats
in the 435-member House. At the party's
meeting in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Pelosi only needs a majority of those
members to endorse her campaign for
Speaker.
The official vote for Speaker will come after the 116th Congress convenes on January 3, 2019. Pelosi needs at least 218 votes
to claim the title, so she can only afford to
lose 16 members of her party, assuming all
Republicans vote against her.
As Pelosi continues to rally support
ahead of Wednesday's party meeting, her
closest allies remain confident.
"She will be our next Speaker of the
House," Rep. Ben Luján of New Mexico,
who successfully oversaw the Democratic
takeover of the chamber, asserted in a post
on Twitter after the 16 Democrats released
their letter last week. One of the signers,
incidentally, has since reversed course and
has endorsed Pelosi.

Up until issuing the statement, Davids
had largely been silent on Pelosi, a frequent
target of the GOP, in a district that was held
by a Republican for nearly a decade. During the campaign, she pitched herself as a
candidate who was willing to stand up to
the Trump administration but also hold the
Democratic leadership accountable.
Haaland was much more at ease with
Pelosi in a district that has sent a Democrat
to Capitol Hill in every election since 2009.
The two appeared at a campaign event in
August to call for greater protections for
Native women by updating the Violence
Against Women Act and by passing other
initiatives, such as Savanna’s Act to address
the crisis of missing and murdered Native
women and girls.
“We must increase funding for tribal
justice systems and track the data because
Native women deserve to be counted and we
deserve to live,” Haaland said at the August
7 event in Albuquerque, which is home to a
large urban Native population.

News Around Winnebago
Little Priest Tribal College Basketball Season
Underway
By Garan Coons, Winnebago Tribal Communications Officer
Winnebago, NE – On Tuesday, November 13 both the men and women
LPTC basketball teams held their first
home games of the season at the Winnebago School Gym. A good size crowd
was in attendance as the fans were
treated to a pair of wins by the men and
women LPTC Warriors.
Lady Warriors Obser vations - The
women’s team features a lot of players
from the southwest. They still have some
growing pains but overall they have a
great team. They average 77 points per
game and have some shooters.
Talia Paytiamo and Samantha Eddy
are a good duo to watch. I’m surprised
how well Eddy attacks the hoop each
time she gets the ball. Paytiamo is in
her second year at LPTC and although
she played pretty well last year, she’s
going to be a force in this year’s team.
Another great addition to the team is
Kylie McKinley, from Farmington New
Mexico. She averages double figures;
she is also a great defender.
The ladies have the capacity and
the stamina to full court press which
is attributed to the coaching staff. Last
year ’s team especially in the second
half the ladies would run out of steam.
However, this year ’s team has great
bench depth and the conditioning of the
player’s is better this year.
The tough test will come when the
ladies start conference play. The lady
warriors currently sit at 5 wins with
3 losses. Come to a game and watch
these ladies on the court. I’m sure some
of them will be going to bigger division
I schools.
Men Warriors Observations – With
only two players returning from last
year, the men warriors basketball team
is all new, coaches included. I have to
say they have the ability to put on a good
show, seeing a 5’10 basketball player
dunk over guys that are 6’5 is always
a good show!
However, they are still figuring out
their style of play. You could tell that
some of them want to play for themselves, maybe it ’s so they can get a
better offer from a division I school, or
maybe it’s that they still have the high
school basketball mentality. I remember
attending the first team meeting and
LPTC athletic director, Keith Hanks said
“All of you were stars in high school,
this is Juco (Junior College) basketball

now, it’s way different. You are going to
have to earn your spot for playing time”.
I learned in the last couple of years that
the Juco circuit is a way for players to
get better looks from bigger schools if
they excel in a Juco program. I think
this is the main reason some of the
LPTC warriors try to score anytime they
get the ball without running through
their offence first. The defense is lacking, especially fundamental boxing out
for rebounds. The warriors get better
looks when they drive to the hoop as
opposed to coming down to the threepoint line and throwing it up.
The warrior team does have a lot of
talent and a lot of depth on the bench.
Connor Hawk is a 6’6 ft , 230 pound
freshman from Parker Colorado. You
need to see him work inside the paint,
he is really aggressive with the ball. The
point guard is Jayden Sheridan from
Walthill. He is an Omaha Tribal member
and it shows that he was taught fundamental basketball. I think once he gets
more experience and better vision of the
court he could really run a good tight offence. LPTC also has talent from Miami,
Florida and Omaha, Nebraska. DJ fields
from Omaha North is a big addition to
the team. He is a solid player that can
work inside the paint. The two Miami
players are high flying with a quick trigger. Keep your eye on these two as they
make their mark on the LPTC warriors
basketball team.
The new head coach Michael Hadley
certainly has his work cut out for him
and his team. From my obser vations
of a few practices and watching the
first few home games, the warriors are
going to develop into a solid team with
a winning tradition. I heard a rumor
that he wasn’t starting his best players
because they were not doing good in
classes. If that’s true, I tip my hat to
coach Hadley because the studies first
mentally is a great coaching ideology for
this program.
I would recommend you follow both
teams this year. Things are going to
get interesting because they are now
eligible to play for the ICCAC Region
11 tournament. The warriors are just
now coming off the probation period
mandated for any new college athletic
program to join the ICCAC Region 11.
Look out Winnebago, The LPTC Warriors
are now “All In”!�

New Sign at Winnebago Senior Citizens Center
Anna Adams

After waiting 3 years the Senior Center finally got their new outdoor sign.
Early on Saturday, Sept 29, 2018 the
new Winnebago Senior Citizen Center
sign was installed at the center. It was
a spr ink ing and cloudy but rain or
shine it got done. Winnebago Ar tist,
Anna Adams spent a week designing
a n d p a i n t i n g t h e s to r y b o a rd a s a n
original piece of ar twork for the Se niors. When asked where she came
up with the idea. Here's what she said:
"I have been hearing alot of exciting
news about Tr ibal S oveignit y, Food
Security, Herbal plants, natural animal
habitats, pollinators and I wanted to
incorporate that into a storyboard for
the seniors to use to explain to the kids
and visitors. The theme I chose was the
"Mahic" common milkweed and its life
cycle. It is accompanied by the purple
cone flower (echineacea) and the Brown
Eyed Susan. O ther popular images
are the Monarch Butterfly, its caterpillar and the honey bee. Each one has
its own story and lends itself to a short
conversation about life. Winnebago
Indians are very supportive of growing,
har vesting and eating the milkweed
plant when its in season. Look for the
milkweed plume or the fluff that carries
the milkweed seed and the seed pods in
the storyboard. The fluff is used for insulation and pillow stuffing because it
has hypoallergenic qualities and coated
with wax. I enlarged the blooms of the
milkweed so you can see the interesting shapes of the individual flowers.
Doesn't it look like some of the images

yo u s e e i n t h e r i b b o nwo r k d re s s e s
from long time ago? The M onarch
Butter fly eats milkweed leaves on its
migration route south to Mexico each
year. The milkweed plant provides
food for the caterpillars and supports
the continuation of life and the journey
for Monarchs next generation. Honey
bees use nectar from all plants and
trees in bloom each year to provide us
with honey and to pollinate plants that
produce flowers, fruit and nuts. I think
the word "symboisis" best describes the
the fact that "things live together". The
herbal plants like purple cone flower
(echineacea) and brown eyed susan are
good examples of natural plants that
were used by our ancestors as remedies for cold and flu symptoms. My
artistic rendition of the old woodlands
style of beadwork and applique that
you can see in museum collections on
breach cloths, and bandeliers from the
early 1900s is the stylistic approach i
took in painting to interconnect several
different kinds of plants with stems,
vines and branches. Hope you like
it. I'd like to thanks all those who
interjected ideas and suggestions for
me. I tried to include it all. A special
thanks to two old veterans Velma and
Rey Alaniz who super vised and continually suppor ted this project from
beginning to the final installation. Also
Victoria Goodin, Hannah, Esther, and
Elijah Fernandez some teenagers who
spent 4 hours helping me as my paint
crew. God bless you and may you live
long and prosper."

WPS Music News…
The Christmas Holiday Concert will be presented at 6:30 pm on December
12th in the beautiful Winnebago School Theater. Admission is free and we

A hear tfelt THANK YOU goes out to ever yone who

another term. All of your votes and kind words were
