Our masthead for this issue features the

icon representing the Buffalo Clan / Cexji

Hikikarac. The Buffalo Clan held many functions within the tribe. Most notably they held

the responsibility of acting as town-criers to

the Chief, carrying out and reporting decisions and instructions in the Four Directions.

They were orators for the people, assisted

in law and order, and acted as intermediary

between the chief and his people. The Buffalo Clan is one of the eight Earth clans. For the

HoChunk people, the land and the buffalo

are inter-related, and the land is associated

with the Four Directions. Families within the

Buffalo Clan include: Snow, Frenchman,

Long, and Chamberlain

[Winnebago, NE] On Tuesday, November

12th, 2024, Winnebago was visited by the

U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary,

Deb Haaland. The trip to Winnebago was

kept under wraps to allow the Secretary

to come to Winnebago with a minimal staff

contingent and was not announced to the

general public until that morning. “We are

extremely honored and excited to host Secretary Haaland.” Winnebago Tribal Council

Chairwoman, Victoria Kitcheyan stated.

Secretary Haaland is the first Indigenous

person to serve in a Presidential Cabinet

position. A member of the Pueblo of Laguna

in New Mexico, Haaland was appointed as

Interior Secretary by President Joe Biden

in 2020 following his sweeping election.

Prior to the appointment as head official

for the Department of the Interior, Haaland

was elected to Congress, representing her

district from the great State of New Mexico.

At a reception held during her visit she addressed the capacity crowd stating, “I am

extremely honored to be here and accept

the invitation of the [Winnebago] tribe.”

The Secretary spent several hours in

Winnebago beginning her day as part of the

group witnessing the bison release that was

previously scheduled in coordination with

the Winnebago Wildlife & Parks Department

and the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council. Several

new buffalo were introduced to the Tribe’s

existing bison herd early that morning. “We

have witnessed something monumental. It

was exciting, breathtaking, and humbling.”,

one on-looker said as the 13 new head of

bison stormed from their gates into the open

pasture.

BISON HERD GROWS

November 20th, HoChunk Renaissance and Wildlife and Parks

hosted a ‘Wilf Game Dish Cookoff’.

Anonymous contestants brought a

dish or soup, Judges sampled. 1st

place is Martina DeCora, 2nd place

Kelsey. Congratulations to all the

winners and those who took part in

the competition!

Educare students took a local

field trip to the Little Priest Tribal College’s library. A storytelling group

from Chicago put on a play called

“Bookworm” for about 50 students.

[Winnebago Reservation] This month

of November saw the bison herd of the

Winnebago Tribe grow with the addition of

several new members to the tribe’s overall

head count. These 13 new bison came to

the Tribe from the Niobrara National Wildlife

Refuge. A release event was planned and

held at the rural pasture area located to the

East and North of the town of Winnebago.

“Today is a momentous occasion for the

people as we continue to open up the homelands back to our four-legged relatives.”,

said one member of the Inter-Tribal Buffalo

Council. That group was on-hand to witness

the release of the new members of the herd.

Alongside the ITBC, U.S. Department of

the Interior Secretary, Deb Haaland, was

also onsite for the momentous occasion.

Haaland commented, “I’m so honored to

be with you as we celebrate the expansion

of the Winnebago tribe’s bison herd, which

for generations has endured, thanks to the

dedication of many people throughout the

decades.”

The day’s events were jampacked with

activity. The bison release began those

events in grand style. Local drum group

New Breed sang honor songs as the herd

The Tribal Council hosted a reception for the Secretary and her staff inside the Veteran’s

building at Veteran’s Memorial Park. Winnebago’s Dual Language Class also attended

the day’s activities, offering prayers and well wishes to the new bison and the visiting

dignitaries. The Secretary was joined by members of her staff and Assistant Secretary

Bryan Newland. As Haaland addressed the crowd she made mention of the struggles that

tribal people have overcome and spoke of our perseverance in the face of adversity. “Our

efforts matter.”, she stated while remarking on the work done by tribal people to further

the interests of our nations.

Secretary Haaland is the first Cabinet member to visit the Winnebago Reservation

since the pandemic. Her presence indicates the dedication the Biden Administration

has toward Indian people, not just with our inclusion in policy making, but also through

self-determination. Winnebago tribal member, Ann Marie (O’Gorman) Bledsoe-Downes,

who is Deputy Solicitor for the Department of the Interior’s Indian Affairs Bureau was also

in attendance. She [Bledsoe-Downes] has served with the U.S. government for many

years, most currently under President Biden, but also served under President Obama.

The Winnebago Tribe was honored to host Secretary Haaland and her staff. The meeting

culminates years of cooperation and coordination among the sovereigns under the auspices

of growing our tribal footprint through the addition of 13 new bison and speaking of how

we have no intention of going backward in any of our joint efforts. Thank you for coming

to Winnebago, Secretary Haaland. May our trailblazing work clear the path into our future.

...Cont. from front page BISON HERD GROWS...

became united. Both Chairwoman, Victoria Kitcheyan, and Vice-Chairman, Isaac Smith,

spoke at the release event, offering comments about how impactful the day was. “We share

our gratitude with all who had a hand in making today happen. Not only those working

today, but also those who’ve been involved since our beginnings.” Kitcheyan told the crowd.

The visual of watching the bison race for the open grasslands was a spectacle indeed.

Transported to the Winnebago Reservation via small livestock trailers, when the gates were

opened the buffalo bolted toward their new home here. One observer said, “I’ve never

seen anything like this in person. The way they stampeded into the prairie was a kind of

homecoming I thought I’d never see. It was very, very moving!”

Later, at a reception planned for the Secretary’s visit, Haaland told the capacity crowd,

“Of all the losses this continent has suffered the destruction of the great plains is among

it’s darkest. When the federal government began its conquest of indigenous peoples, it

surmised that the quote ‘Indian problem’ [c]ould be solved by destroying our food sources

and our livelihoods. The near desecration of sacred bison herds across our nation’s prairie

grasslands was an intentional attempt to eradicate native peoples across our country.”

Secretary Haaland went on to address the Tribal Council and gathered crowd of tribal

members, “our efforts matter. [O]ur efforts mean that these beautiful creatures have a

fighting chance.” A member of the Pueblo Laguna [New Mexico] people herself, Haaland

is the first Indigenous person to serve in any Presidential cabinet. Appointed by President

Joe Biden in 2020 she has served as Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

She was accompanied by Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland and several staff members.

Haaland continued to comment, “[b]ison are resilient. Because native peoples are resilient.

Because the Winnebago tribe is resilient. We aren’t going anywhere.”

Wildlife & Parks Staff.

In Re:

I.E (Born 04/2007)

“Use these words to lift up hearts”

‘Use these words to lift up each other’s hearts.’ What words lifts up hearts

that are troubled or broken? Where

does one find them? I will answer these

questions in time.

Recently I learned that people who

post videos on tic-tock or other social

media post the thrill at the start of the

video for a few seconds and then the

video that leads up to that thrill is played.

It is like watching a television show or

a movie that begins with the climax and

then flashes back to what leads to that

point. Both of these approaches attempt

to have one intrigued so that they will

watch the whole video.

In our lives, we seldom consider the

climax of what is to come. That climax

will no doubt come. We are not able

to stop it. And what is to come? The

climax of one’s life is when one meet

one’s Maker.

For those of us left behind as one falls

asleep we are often overwhelmed with

grief. At times, it seems that nothing will

comfort our broken heart.

We are often in doubt what will happen once we take our final breath. Will

we live on after our hearts stops beating? No one that I know has come back

from death in my lifetime. So I have no

first hand knowledge of what to expect.

Some teach that when one dies he/

she returns to the dust of the earth, from

which Adam and Eve were formed.

Some teach if one is evil - that wicked

individual will never be content or satisfied in the next world; others teach that

such evil people will be annihilated!

There are others who say that eventually everyone will end up in paradise.

Some teach that one has to dwell in a

long term ‘time out’ or ‘penalty box’ in

By: Pastor Ricky Jacob

order to suffer for his/her misdeeds but

will enjoy paradise at a much later date.

There are still others who teach that

where one ends up, living in paradise

with Creator, His Son and the angels depends on whether your good outweighs

the bad. If one falls for this teaching

then one will live in despair wondering

whether he or she has done enough?

Or one will live with a what’s the use attitude since there is no way to make up

for one’s past rebellious wo-wonk ways.

All of these above ways of thinking

are not based on God’s Sacred Word.

They come from man’s way of reasoning

and/or the lies of the devil.

So now we come to the climax of

one’s life - when Jesus the ‘Honored

Chief’ will return. We read from the

Apostle Paul’s first letter to the church

of the Thessalonians:

‘What we are telling you comes from

the words of our Honored Chief. We

who remain alive until his coming will

not come face to face with him ahead

of the ones who have walked on. For

our Honored Chief himself will come

down from the spirit-world above with

a war cry. The voice of the chief spirit-messenger will join with him, and the

eagle bone whistle will sound. First, the

ones who died trusting in [Chief] (the

Anointed One) will rise. Then, together

with them, we who have remained alive

will be taken up into the clouds to meet

our Honored Chief in the air. Then we

will always be with him. Use these words

to lift up each other’s hearts’ [1st Thessalonians 4:15-18 1st Nations Version

[slightly altered].

Here we see the glory of Christ Jesus’

victorious return - the climax of one’s

life. Having visualized this we can travel

down life’s journey with uplifted hearts!

Question of the Issue:

With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, what are

you grateful for this holiday season?

EDITOR'S MOVIE REVIEW:

TRANSFORMERS ONE

“More Than Meets the Eye"

Garan: I will start my answer with a quote “Being thankful and not express-

ing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” – William Arthur Ward. That

made sense to me, so I am thankful to be blessed with my job, family and

friends.

Brian: There have been many changes for me this past year, even the past

4 years. Being grateful for many things comes easy, especially for things like

my family, my health, and being surrounded by good music, good food, and

good conversations. … oh and, Nebraska volleyball! #GBR I’ll leave you with

a favorite quote: “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have

into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger

into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and

creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie

Tyler: I’m thankful for the memories I’ve made with my son and family this

past year. As I get older, I realize that making memories together is what

makes me happy.

Kevin: I’m thankful for my family and friends.

Christina: I am thankful for my health and my supportive friends and family.

There’s really a lot to be thankful for but we’ll be here all day listing them.

Bethani: I am most grateful for my family; they keep me going. I’m grateful

for my boys, they bring all the love & light to my life. I’m grateful for my friends,

my health, my career, & can’t forget to mention my fur baby Yoda! There are

just so many reasons to be grateful, I could go on & on. As said by Eckhart

Toll, “acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” <3

When the world came to know

the Transformers back in the early

to mid-1980s, they took the world of

toys by storm. Action figures were

now transformed into a combination

of vehicles, weapons, and other

cool items using the ingenious

engineering that gave their young

owners both. For the first time beloved toys could be morphed into

two separate worlds. Happy to say,

I was part of that revolution. The

Hasbro / TOMY toy line grew from

a modest first offering into a whole

genre of subsequent groupings

that just kept going and going.

Originating in Japan, the brainchild

of Shoji Kawamori took on a life of

its own. The Transformers reached

America and took the rest of the

world from there. Now more than

40 years later the iconic toy-line

continues with the latest feature

film – Transformers One.

Taking the step to return to full

animation, Paramount Studios

planned the movie nearly a decade

ago. Story writers were hired, movie

directors were courted, and actors

were discussed with a wide range

of options for the lead characters.

With the natural slowdown caused

by the world-wide pandemic, this

film was finally set for release in the

late summer of 2024. Opening to

worldwide success, first debuting

in Australia, Transformers One has

paced box office sales globally,

making it the latest in the string of

hits for the franchise. Along with

the totally awesome 80s era toys

there was a library of comic books.

These stories have served as the

basis for the long-lived saga of the

Transformers. The 2024 release of

Transformers One is just the latest

in the popular lineage using that

storyline.

Beginning as a prequel to all

the other stories, both animated

and live-action, Transformers One

returns us to the planet Cybertron.

The Primes, who were the de facto Titans of the living mechanical

world have all but disappeared,

save one. Sentinel Prime is the

sole survivor of the original race of

Transformers. Their society has lost

the all-important Matrix of Leadership. The loss creating havoc

amongst the remaining residents of

Cybertron as their source of energy, Energon, has stopped flowing.

KWTN 100.9 FM

The Official Radio Station of the

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska

The story begins with two pals in

the sub-race of robots working in

the mines that seek their precious

Energon. The hijinks of the pair

give the whole movie a buddy-flick

feel. Soon however the plot twists to

force them both into the spotlight.

The main characters are voiced

by Marvel movie icons, Chris

Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson,

who are joined by Keegan-Michael

Key, Brian Henry, Steve Buscemi,

Jon Hamm, and Matrix star, Lawrence Fishburne.

At first the story lumbers along in a

non-thrilling way. The layout seemed

typical, and I was afraid the usual

bite of conformity would sink its teeth

into this movie. But once the ample

introduction is complete, the characters take on the lives of their writers’

imaginations and the absolute state

of the art CGI animation begins to

engage. The imagination within the

story is bold enough to keep the

characters fresh, while also giving

them a growing depth – a characteristic often missing from most action

movie animations. The deviation in

the pathways of the pair of friends

isn’t hidden, but the way it unfolds

is quite unexpected, and I’ve been

watching this franchise for decades.

Meaning to reignite the franchise,

Transformers One tells a great original story, that ultimately sets up the

yet untold sequels. Watching the new

take on legacy driven characters,

like Megatron and StarScream was

a real delight. They also had good

scenes with my personal favorite,

Soundwave. Yes, the cassettes make

their appearance too. The cast’s

jokes landed when they needed

to and didn’t seem overly corny.

The hierarchy of what we all knew

from the other movies, comics, and

animation series is established perfectly. The birth of both the Autobots

and the Decepticons comes to be

known, and yes there is a gem in the

after-credits, so keep watching until

the very end.

Overall, Transformers One does

its franchise proud. Excellent CGI

animation. On our world-famous

HaazZaat scale I’m giving this One

an Energon cube dripping solid 4

Haazs. Prime popcorn gorging fun!

Go see this one, even if you’ve never

seen any of the others. I can’t wait to

see the next episodes.
