Published Bi-Weekly for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska • Volume 49, Number 10 • Saturday, May 13, 2020

May 5th was National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women and Girls. This day is for tribal communities to
remember our strong Native women and bring awareness to this
crisis.

On May 4th, the old halfway house was
demolished by our Tribal Roads Department. The building was over 100 years
old; construction on a new halfway house
will begin soon.

A huge THANK YOU to all the tribal
security guards that are implementing
the new policy that requires a face mask
must be worn to enter local businesses.
No Mask, No Service!

During a home basketball game on January 10th, the Winnebago Indian cheerleaders held a tribute to raise awareness for our Missing and
Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). Photo credits belong to Trina Solomon.

Although the graduation ceremony has
been postponed to August 1st, families
of the WPS graduates came together to
honor the class of 2020 with a drive by
parade throughout the community! Photo

On the afternoon of May 9th, families of
the graduates decorated their front lawns
to celebrate for the class of 2020 drive
around parade.

These two adorable little ones were
showing support to the WPS graduates,
as the drive around parade passed by.

On behalf of the community, we would
like to send a huge THANK YOU to all the
frontline healthcare providers and staff
at Twelve Clans Unity Hospital. Your
hard work and dedication to our safety is
greatly appreciated!

Winonah Leader Charge
What were her last words? Did
she cry for help? Was she praying? These are questions asked by
families of Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women (MMIW). But
the burning question is, where is
she? Across the United States and
Canada indigenous families continue to search for their loved ones,
searching for answers, searching
for closure. Why are indigenous
women going missing? What can we
do to stop it? This crisis leaves us
with more questions than answers.
Michelle LaMere is a Winnebago
activist who frequently speaks
out about the issues surrounding
Missing and Murdered Indigenous
Women shared, “According to the
Urban Indian Health Institute,
there are 5,712 reports of Missing
or Murdered Indigenous Women
and Girls, but only 116 of them
are logged by the Department of
Justice.”
Thousands of indigenous woman
and girls go missing, there is a lack
of news coverage and minimal data
tracking these high numbers of
MMIW. Why are these stories going
unheard?

Jurisdictions differ from state to
local to tribal. These different jurisdictions create challenges such as
effectively beginning an investigation process, which may also affect
media coverage and data collection.
Jason Lawrence the Winnebago
Chief of Police recommends, if
you think someone is missing it is
important to report it right away.
Early reporting will begin an investigation. This will help police track
down necessary evidence before it is
too late to retrieve it such as video
surveillance.
Lamere stated, “Data keeping is
the biggest obstacle to addressing
MMIW solutions. According to the
data that does exist, when an MMIW
report is made, many times the
victim is Indigenous, but the perpetrator is non-Indian. Due to jurisdictional issues on the reservations
that require federal investigations
to be initiated when the suspect is
non-Indian, increased NSP jurisdiction is useless. I believe that the NSP
should concentrate on improving
their responses, investigations and
data entry off the reservations where
most of the Indigenous women live.”
What can we do? According to the

Cultural Survival website, “[G]rassroots Indigenous groups keep up
pressure on legislators to achieve
remedies, remain fueled by the
#MMIW hashtag and community
support. Native American leaders
are also building and maintaining
community databases, running
book groups and youth initiatives,
holding red dress exhibitions, and
taking action on social media,
marches, and in vigils. There are
many ways to participate.”
LaMere adds, “There have been
state laws that have been proposed
and passed that have been designed
to address this issue. Hannah’s Law
in Montana and Savannah’s Law in
North Dakota are examples of laws
that were proposed in memory of
Indigenous women who were brutally murdered. The commonality
between the laws is in creating
pathways for better documentation,
reporting and cooperation between
law enforcement agencies.”
It is important to keep yourself
and loved ones safe. Lawrence suggested to “setup a safeguard with
loved ones; keep in contact and
utilize social media.” These tools
will help family and friends keep
track of each other.

Foraging
By Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension
Horticulture Educator in Dodge County
“Foraging” refers to the gathering of
wild edibles for food to grace our table.
Historically, the human race began as
hunter-gatherers, gleaning food from
what was found, not raised. With the
growing interest in fresh and local,
there has been a resurgence of interest
in foraging for wild food.
Morel mushrooms have always had
an avid fan base, with hunters jealously
guarding the locations of their most lucrative hunting spots. There is a reason
for this, with sales of morels netting
$20 per pound and more. Similarly, the
locations of wild asparagus are closely
guarded secrets. My brother keeps a list
of spots where he finds wild asparagus
so he can be sure to harvest the delectable spears in spring. Dandelion leaves,
while never hard to find, make a nutritious early season salad.
Along with enthusiasm for gathering
wild edibles must come the knowledge
of what is edible and what is not. Upon
learning berries gathered were from
pokeweed (poisonous) and not chokecherry (edible), a client rushed out the
door saying she needed to retrieve all the
jars of jelly she had given away to friends
and family. Another client complained
the rhubarb jam she made from “wild”
rhubarb just didn’t taste right and was
surprised to learn the stalks she was
using for her jam came from the weed
burdock. While burdock isn’t poisonous,
doing the research or seeking confirmation from a knowledgeable person helps
to avoid these kind of mistakes.
Foraging is generational, when hardearned knowledge gleaned by a past

generation is passed on to the next.
This knowledge isn’t just about recognizing plants but also how to correctly
prepare them for eating. Think about
cashews, which aren’t native here but
are closely related to the native plant
poison ivy, and how the knowledge of
preparing cashews changes them from
something poisonous into an edible.
I grew up in a family that gathered
wild plum, wild grape, chokecherry,
wild raspberry, walnuts, morel mushrooms, and dandelion greens. The
experience was a good teacher, underscoring an appreciation for what nature
provides but also a healthy respect for
what should be avoided. Especially
with mushrooms, never guess or come
to the conclusion “this is close enough”
because the web site or book you’re
referencing appears to confirm your
thoughts. Antidotes for some toxins,
such as poisonous mushrooms and
other fungi, don’t exist. If a plant has
been misidentified, emergency room
staff have little to go on when treating
symptoms. When foraging, it’s important to learn from someone knowledgeable about such things.

DEADLINE for this issue will be May 25, 2020.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Additional Cases of COVID-19 Confirmed
in Winnebago
WINNEBAGO, NE – Winnebago
Comprehensive Healthcare System,
which is comprised of the Winnebago
Public Health Department (WPHD) and
Twelve Clans Unity Hospital (TCUH),
has confirmed two more cases of
the 2019 novel coronavirus disease
(COVID-2019) on the Winnebago Reservation. One individual was tested
in another county and the other was
tested at TCUH. Both patients remain
isolated and in good condition. The total number of positive COVID-19 cases
in Winnebago is now at four.
The WPHD has already notified any
potential contacts of the positive cases
and appropriate precautions are being
taken. To protect the privacy of all patients, no other details will be released
at this time.
“The Winnebago Public Health
Department and Twelve Clans Unity
Hospital are continuing to monitor and
respond to the spread of COVID-19 in
our area. We are also actively working
in cooperation with the Winnebago
Tribe to help mitigate the impact on
our community,” said Danelle Smith,
Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare
System CEO.
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness
with no known cure or vaccine. Winnebago community members experiencing shortness of breath, sore throat,
runny nose, and cough are urged to
call the COVID-19 Hotline at (402) 9221508. Per Center for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, it
is recommended that individuals stay
home except to get necessary medical care. Individuals with underlying
conditions, such as diabetes or those
with compromised immune systems
are the most high-risk for contracting

the virus.
Prevention measures include washing your hands often with soap and
water for at least twenty seconds each
time and routinely cleaning frequently
touches surfaces. Other recommendations include social distancing, wearing
a mask in public, and remaining at least
6 feet away from each other with groups
of no more than 10 people.
Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System has been taking many
important steps to further protect the
health and safety of the community.
These steps, among others, have included implementing a no visitor policy
within the hospital, increasing the frequency of cleaning facilities, making
certain services available remotely,
implementing a drive-thru pharmacy,
and placing staff on telework status
when possible.
Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System is operated by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and consists
of two divisions. Twelve Clans Unity
Hospital is a 13-bed state-of-the-art
healthcare facility that serves an estimated 10,000 Native Americans who
live on the Winnebago Reservation and
in the surrounding region. Health care
services provided by the hospital include
an ambulatory care clinic, inpatient
care, express care clinic, pharmacy,
radiology, emergency care, medical
laboratory, physical therapy, social services, and more. The Winnebago Public
Health Department strives to create
and maintain a healthy community by
providing a wide range of total health
and wellness programs. These programs
include physical, mental, safety, and social services that benefit the Winnebago
community.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR
LUTHERAN OUTREACH
"Don't Expect Readiness Without
Preparedness!"
The Northeast Nebraska Public
Health Department motto right now
is: 'Don't Expect Readiness Without
Preparedness!' This reminds me of the
Boy Scout and the Girl Scout mottos: 'Be
Prepared!' It is good to be prepared and
ready for anything and not to focus one's
attention on just one deadly disease at
the expense of ignoring other deadly
diseases and health hazards.
My question to you is: Be prepared
for what?
Recently I was watching a BBC show
about survival in Alaska. The number
one rule for survival is: 'Not to die.' And
yet some 2,000 people die every year in
Alaska out in the wild, out in what is
referred to as the Last Frontier. I wonder
were they not prepared?
My next question to you is: Are you
prepared to die?
On next Thursday, May 21st, we
will remember Jesus' ascension into
heaven. Ever since Jesus took on flesh
and blood, born of Virgin Mary by the
blessing of the Holy Spirit, we are living
in the last days. As Jesus ascended into
the clouds, two angels said to Jesus' disciples, “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why
do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken
from you into heaven, will come back in
the same way you have seen him go into
heaven” [Acts 1:11 (NIV)].
Another vital question to you is: Are

you ready for Jesus' return?
No, one knows the times or dates of
the last day. The last day is when this
world will be destroyed with no one able
to save this planet. The Good News is
that at that time a new earth and new
heavens will be formed. This whole new
world will last forever and offers life with
one's Creator, His Son Jesus and the
Holy Spirit. There will be peace as all
those who are prepared will live forever
with the love of God.
The Good News is that you can be
prepared right now for that day. Yes,
you can be ready whether you die prior
to Jesus' return or are still breathing
when He returns!
How is one ready for Jesus' return?
Jesus promised that He who believes
in Him as his/her Lord and Savior will
be saved! He/she who does not believe
stands condemned and is therefore
not ready and totally unprepared. God
forbid that person is you!
I close by giving Jesus the last word.
[Jesus said to his disciples]: "Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words
will never pass away. Be careful, or your
hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties
of life, and that day will close on you
unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come
upon all those who live on the face of the
whole earth. Be always on the watch,
and pray that you may be able to escape
all that is about to happen, and that you
may be able to stand before the Son of
Man” [Luke 21:33–36 (NIV84)].

Need a few good eggs to Incubate!

Spring Community Clean-Up
The annual spring clean-up event will be a little different this year due to
Covid-19. We will have workers driving around and picking up your items at
your curb starting the morning of Tuesday May 19 and ending on the afternoon of Thursday May 21, 2020. We cannot accept any household hazardous
waste products, which includes; paint, pesticides, herbicides, oil, cleaning
chemicals, anti-freeze, fluorescent bulbs, or car batteries. If you have any

Thinking of the old movie Jerry
Maguire, sports agent for Rod Tidwell,
looking for his contract payday “Help
me…Help you!” That where I feel Ho
Chunk Community Capital is currently
at in our recruiting efforts due to the
COVID19 Pandemic.
A few months ago, Ho Chunk Community Capital announced the award
of a grant from the Native American
Agricultural Fund (NAAF). The purpose to establish a pipeline of small
businesses in the agricultural industry
in Nebraska and on and off the reservation. With this opportunity HCCC
is an Ag-Business Incubator to go
with our usual function as a business
incubator.
Business incubators are organizations geared toward speeding up the
growth and success of startup and
early stage companies! Our interests

as a CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) is for individual and
commerce growth through the farmers market, arts and crafts vendors,
Independent contractors, or you have
a great idea for your own venture. We
are here to offer technical assistance.
To date the interests has been low
to participate, especially with the social distancing practices due to the
Covid19. HCCC was to have some
public meetings to recruit people into
our incubator program at this juncture
that will not happen. However, I would
like to invite anyone interested in starting a business or accelerating their side
hustle to a phone discussion or ZOOM
meeting, to take the first step.
HCCC has prepared Business plans
templates, structured to flush out your
Company Summary, your advantages,
your Marketing Plans and Financial
Analysis.
HCCC is geared toward
speeding up the growth and success
of startup! And the end result upon a
complete business plan? Startup Capital funds up to $5,000 through the loan
program we offer. That defines “pipeline of small businesses on the reservation” and a Community Development
Financial Institution.
Establishing
the framework and pathway for you to
succeed as an entrepreneur!

Congratulations to the "Class of 2020"
Winonah Leader Charge
WINNEBAGO--The Winnebago School district administrators have been working hard to adjust and transition to the interruptions from COVID-19, including
how to best handle traditional activities like commencement. School leaders have
been working on balancing between appropriately honoring their students while
managing the challenges of the Coronavirus.
Dan Fehringer the Winnebago Public School Superintendent shared that the
COVID-19 Pandemic has had a major effect on the school, students and community. All events and activities were cancelled through May 31. This included
the graduation ceremony which was scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at 2:00. A
date for the graduation ceremony has been set for Saturday, August 1. We will
follow the mandates that are in place on August 1. We were able to put together
a virtual slide show honoring the "Class of 2020” It premiered on Saturday, May
9 on the WPS Facebook page. Also Mrs. Tremayne and Mr. James put signs
honoring the seniors in their yards. The senior parents organized a cruise
through town after the Senior show was released Saturday. Thank you to the
parents who organized this event.

Senator Joni Albrecht WEEKLY UPDATE
May 4, 2020
As I am sure most are aware,
confirmed cases of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) have been growing in
number in Dakota County in District 17 daily since testing began in
earnest. Kudos to the leadership
at Dakota County Health Department, Emergency Manager, and
the Nebraska National Guard for
the work they’ve done and long
hours they’ve devoted to doing it.
Certainly, the increased numbers
of confirmed cases are concerning. They should also serve as a
reminder to all of us to be exercising appropriate caution when making choices that will protect our
health and the health of our loved
ones and our community. During
these times, please remember to
follow the six rules suggested by
the Governor:
Stay home. No non-essential
errands and no social gatherings.
Respect the ten-person limit.
Socially distance your work.
Work from home or use the six-foot
rule as much as possible in the
workplace.
Shop alone and only shop once a
week. Do not take family with you.
Help kids follow social distancing. Play at home. No group sports.
And no playgrounds.
Help seniors stay at home by
shopping for them. Do not visit
long-term care facilities.
Exercise daily at home or with
an appropriately socially-distanced
activity.
Informational Videos highlighting these and other ways to stay
healthy and keep families healthy
during the pandemic and one
about what to do if an individual
or family member becomes ill or
has been exposed to COVID-19
have been translated and released
on YouTube in the following six
languages:
Spanish
Arabic
Karen
Somali
Nepalese
French

Re-Opening parts of District 17:
The Governor announced that
as of May 4, 2020, the Northeast
Nebraska Public Health Department region that includes Thurston and Wayne Counties, is one of
19 separate regions with Directed
Health Measures (DHM) that relax
some restrictions in place. The
DHM will be in place and effective
through May 31, 2020. Businesses
that may open or reopen under
more relaxed guideline limitations
include restaurants, barber ships,
hair salons, nail studios, massage
services, tattoo parlors, and childcare facilities. Each business is
subject to certain restrictions and
social distancing practices.
Because of the increasing number of cases seen in Dakota County, Dakota County Health region,
which oversees Dakota County,
is NOT included in any DHM
loosening restrictions at this time
and business closings previously
ordered will remain in place. For
more information about the Directed Health Measure changes, visit
the Governor’s website at www.
governor.nebraska.gov
Although Thurston and Wayne
County are not seeing the significant numbers seen in Dakota
County, I urge residents to be just
as dedicated to making choices
that protect your health and the
health of your families.
Maintaining the integrity of
Nebraska’s health care system
remains the State’s top consideration when making decisions about
public health measures. The Governor’s office and the Department
of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) continue to monitor the
state’s and each region’s ability
to have ample capacity to care for

area residents.
Governor’s Daily Briefings and
Weekly Live Town Hall
As a reminder, Governor Ricketts is holding press conferences
updating the state’s response to
COVID-19 on Mondays at 1:00 PM
and Tuesday through Friday at
2:00 PM. The conference is being
broadcast live by many television
and radio stations, or can be accessed on the Governor’s Facebook
page, where it broadcasts live, as
well. The Governor holds press
conference interpreted in Spanish
on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
5:00 PM.
Additionally, NET is o broadcasting the Governor’s Live Town Halls
every Thursday at 8:30 PM. At the
NET web page, people can ask their
questions ahead of time. To ask
your question during the program,
call one of these numbers: 800676-5446 or 402-472-1212.
TestNebraska Information Available in Spanish
TestNebraska is now accessible
to even more Nebraskans. The
website now includes information
and instructions in Spanish as well
as English. If you know someone
who would benefit from this addition, please let them know of
its availability and direct them to
www.TestNebraska.com/es to take
the test and/or to take the survey.
The expand testing will give the
Nebraska Department of Health
and Human Services, and Health
Officials across the state valuable
information as the state begins
reopening the economy.
All Nebraskans are urged to complete a
short assessment survey. Testing
sites will multiple kits and multiple test options. All individually
identifiable information being gathered for the TestNebraska initiative
is protected by state and federal
law. Aggregate data collected will
be shared with the public health
departments which are expected to
then provide the aggregate data to
the National information gatherers.
AG Disruption and Depopulation
As processing plants work to
deep clean, stagger shifts and
adapt to social distancing and
other safety recommendations
in response to COVID-19, many
producers have been struggling
with decisions about livestock
depopulation. At the Governor’s
press conference last week, Director Wellman from the Nebraska
Department of Agriculture spoke to
the issue and referred to resources
available to AG producers having
to make these tough decisions.
My office reached out to Director
Wells for more information. To
recap, the Nebraska Department
of Environment and Energy (NEE),
has provided temporary period,
until June 1, 2020 for operations
to have more livestock than previously permitted on the land. There
are requirements and necessary
precautions that must be taken.
In addition, there may be some
federal assistance to help deal with
the financial aspects related to depopulation and mortality management under the USDA’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP). For more information, be
sure to follow the Governor’s daily
briefings and access state information at hpps://nda.nebraska.
gov/COVID-19, keyword Livestock
Depopulation Guidance www.deq.
state.ne.us for NEE guidelines
and/or the USDA website at www.
usda.gov

Yes, these are challenging times.
Please remember that together we
will get through them as we have
come through challenging times in
the past. #NebraskaStrong.
As always, I invite you to let me
know your thoughts, ideas, concerns, or suggestions by contacting
me at jalbrecht@leg.ne.gov or by
calling my office at 402.471.2716.
