Winnebago Celebrates Harvest Celebration

Thank you to all the sponsors and volunteers who played a helping hand in setting up, gathering items, and successfully

executing the community Drive thru. Free

meals & prizes were provided as well as

a Raffle to enter. (Photo courtesy of HoChunk, Inc. community engagement)

Winnebago public students got a handson learning experience of the traditional

process of corn harvesting. The corn is

organically grown & locally picked here

on our tribal farms land. This is a large

community effort that helps our tribe

work toward becoming food sovereign

while teaching out youth, in return our

traditions remain alive. This corn serves

many purposes; another being shared

with community members’ funerals and

sold to a local org. that sells online. Corn

has and continues to bring our community together. (Photo courtesy of Ho-Chunk

Inc.)

The Family, Career & Community Leaders of America members from Winnebago

public school traveled to Kearney, NE

on the 20th for a leadership workshop.

These young ladies joined 600 other

members that come from across the state

to learn valuable life skills and lessons.

Those being prevention of teen drinking,

dating violence, and advocacy skills.

These teachings are great for our youth

to learn at this age, Thank you from us at

the WIN for giving our students opportunities to learn & succeed. (Photo courtesy of

Winnebago, NE—Traditionally, corn

has been an important source of life

for the Ho-Chunk people, as well as a

time to bring the tribe and community

together.

For generations, the Ho-Chunk

people have welcomed the season with

a celebration known as the Green Corn

Dance.

This year, the Winnebago Tribe of

Nebraska Ho-Chunk Renaissance Program along with its sponsors held a

Harvest Celebration on Tuesday, September 21st at Veterans Memorial Park.

The Ho-Chunk Renaissance

Pr ogram, its sponsors and participants

welcomed a successful harvest with a

morning prayer, cultural activities, a

Green Corn Dance Cultural film, meals,

along with a Green Corn Dance and a

traditional powwow.

Highlights of the Harvest Celebration were the cultural activities which

included:

Fire building

Yarn belt making

Hominy making

Lacrosse demonstration

Hand drum making

Women’s Dice game

Archery

Powwow dances

Earth making

Traditional medicines

Moccasin games and much more.

Lewis St Cyr Director of Ho-Chunk

Renaissance shared, “all the activities

that go with this time of the year is

what we want to strengthen and have

our people understand that this is our

traditional way of life and making sure

we strengthen those ways as Ho-Chunk

people.”

Another highlight of the Harvest

Celebration was the Green Corn dance

and the traditional powwow. Grand entry began at 7:00 p.m. All dancers and

Question of the Issue:

The fall season brings back the flavorful coffee blends.

What is the name of your favorite coffee and what’s in it?

Garan Coons

Winnebago Communications

Officer

Winonah Leader Charge

WIN Editor

I’m not really a coffee drinker but if I

do drink a coffee, it’s called cowboy coffee because it’s pretty much

straight mud. On my last trip to Starbucks the barista looked at me like

I was from a different planet when I

asked if they had it.

Honestly, I think I keep Scooters in

business haha. My all-time favorite

coffee drink is a French Vanilla Latte

(hot or iced) with 3 shots of expresso.

It is made of steamed milk, 3 shots

of espresso with French vanilla

syrup. My back up coffee drinks are a

Caramelicious or morning blend coffee

with French vanilla creamer.

Winnebago, NE – The Winnebago Indians Football Team (5-0) came up with

a huge win last Friday. It was Winnebago Public School’s Homecoming game.

WPS hosted the #1 ranked Red Cloud Crusaders (4-1) from Pine Ridge, SD.

It was a well-executed game that really featured a lot of great offensive

and defensive plays. Even special teams earned part of the credit. First kick

off to Red Cloud resulted in a fumble recovery for Winnebago.

Winnebago senior quarterback Zaiden Bernie was able to dial his own

number for 4 QB keeper touchdowns. Running Back Harlan and Wide Receiver Vargas each had 1 touchdown that resulted with Winnebago putting

up 42 points on the scoreboard.

The defense came up huge by having 13 tackles for losses and 8 sacks.

They only allowed 14 points to a Red Cloud team that averages 51 points

per game.

This game painted a good picture on where Winnebago stands in the rankings. After this week, Winnebgao earned the #1 ranking in the Class A All

Nations Football League. If Winnebago keeps on rolling they will find themselves in the playoffs for the second year in a row.

On the schedule is an unexpected opponent who are also undefeated and

that is the Omaha Nation Chiefs. Winnebago and the chiefs will play the last

regular game down in Macy on October, 15th. Winnebago had a tough time

with the chiefs last year but pulled off the win. This year we will see what

happens. It’s a game everyone should look forward to. As always Go Big Blue!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gardens That Build Community

Little Priest Tribal College student Trey Blackhawk is showing his community

that they can grow their own food in a way that benefits the land and themselves.

"Bear one another burdens"

By Katie Scarlett Brandt

T rey Blackhawk at Winnebago

Tribal Farms. Photos courtesy of Trey

Blackhawk.

Trey Blackhawk’s roots run deep on

the Winnebago Reservation in northeastern Nebraska, where he was born

and raised. “This is where I feel my help

is needed. I’m doing my best. I felt like it

was a calling, so here I am doing it, getting the job done.”

Two years ago, Blackhawk, who is

not yet 30, took over as manager of Winnebago Tribal Farms. The organization

started in 2018 as a small community

garden, but Blackhawk envisioned a significantly broader scope, expanding the

acreage to include livestock, chickens,

fruit orchards, and vegetables — all using

regenerative farming practices.

“We want to bring the community

fresh, nutrient-dense food, and we want

to be able to sell or give away transplant

seedlings,” Blackhawk said. “The pandemic really showed who was prepared

and who wasn’t. My program helps people

fill up their garden. It’s really personal for

me, not only for my tribe but other tribes

too and small communities that don’t

have access to healthy foods.”

Despite the Winnebago tribe’s location

in the fertile Great Plains, Blackhawk

said, “We live in a food desert here, where

we have to go 20 to 30 miles to go shopping at our Hy-Vee or Walmart.”

He sees a direct connection between

food access and the health of his community. Chronic diseases such as diabetes

are more rampant among American Indians and Alaskan Natives than among the

general U.S. population. About 9 percent

of the U.S. population has diabetes, while

that number climbs as high as 22 percent

in some Native American regions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention.

“Diabetes plagues our people, plagues

a lot of people around the world, especially here in the U.S. where we’ve got all

this fast food,” Blackhawk said. “I’m trying to get the message out there, trying to

think about the next generations to come.

How can we get the next minds thinking

about how we can benefit our people?”

•••

For Blackhawk, the how comes down

to showing his community that they can

grow their own food in a way that benefits

the land and themselves. He serves on

the tribe’s Food Sovereignty Task Force,

providing seeds and gardening assistance

to community members. This past year,

the task force helped more than 60 people

get seeds in the ground.

“There were a lot of new people who

wanted to start a garden, but they were

telling me they didn’t know what to do.

[Some] people are just starting a small

fruit orchard because they don’t like

vegetables, but they can get into fruit,”

Blackhawk said.

He hopes that by growing their own

food, people will adopt a healthier, more

diverse diet. “I really didn’t like cabbage

until I grew it. I didn’t like rhubarb until

I grew it, and turned it into a pie or jam

or jelly. It takes growing them and seeing what you actually like.” He doesn’t

deny that the work is labor intensive, but

added, “the rewards at the end of the season are exciting. I always get happy when

we have an abundance of the harvest,”

Blackhawk said.

Community gardens promote agricultural self-reliance in rural communities

where it is often difficult to purchase fresh

fruits and vegetables.

Blackhawk sells produce from Winnebago Tribal Farms at the local farmers market for a low cost. He notes what

people buy and reflects that in the seeds

the farm plants. “Last year people liked

watermelon, so we did a pretty big plot of

that and potatoes, onions, sweet corn,” he

said. Any excess goes to the Senior Center

in Winnebago. That connection to the

elders reminds Blackhawk of the person

who first introduced him to gardening:

his grandmother.

“I’ve been gardening since I was little,

always been in the woods, always a na-

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

ture kind of guy,” he said. He remembers

being five years old, gardening with his

grandmother, amazed that they could get

an abundance of food from something as

small as a single seed. “You get to reap

the benefits of what you worked hard for

and took care of. You can plant a single

seed and get a lot of food out of it.”

As he grew up, Blackhawk imagined

becoming a doctor or police officer. He

enrolled in Haskell Indian Nations University in 2013, but with no clear idea of

what he wanted to do, he eventually left

school. Then, when he took on the Winnebago Tribal Farms position, he decided

that to make the most of it, he needed to

go back to school.

His role, combined with encouragement from family and friends, gave Blackhawk the renewed push he needed. He

enrolled in Little Priest Tribal College to

study agriculture, with a focus on food

sovereignty, and currently sits on the college’s Agricultural Board. Eventually, he

hopes to work with the U.S. Department of

Agriculture, focusing on tribal relations.

And ultimately, while he finds inspiration

in helping individuals start their own

gardens, he takes a big-picture view,

too, envisioning a local, sustainable food

system for the entire Winnebago tribe.

“From the livestock to the slaughter,

from growing your food to bringing it to

your table — all this stuff is harvesting

the local food system,” Blackhawk said.

And he plans to run those harvests using regenerative farming practices, which

many in agriculture and climate science

say is our best chance to combat climate

change, benefitting people and planet.

•••

Robert Rodale, of the agricultural

nonprofit Rodale Institute, first used the

term “regenerative organic agriculture” to

describe farming practices that improve

land and soil health, as well as the health

of animals and workers. These practices

include rotating livestock and crops, composting, diversifying crops, planting cover

crops, and limiting tilling. Combined,

these practices stand to improve soil

quality, yield more crops, increase biodiversity, sequester carbon, and grow crops

with more nutrients.

While regenerative agriculture has

gained popularity since the 1980s as a

systems-level way to vastly revitalize soil

and fight climate change, Native Americans used many of these same diverse

growing techniques long before Europeans arrived on the continent.

The National Farmers Union outlines

a few examples of how Native Americans

utilized regenerative farming practices for

centuries before Rodale coined the term.

For example, instead of devoting full plots

to one crop, as is a standard agricultural

practice today, Native Americans commonly planted multiple crops together —

such as a combination of corn, beans, and

squash. This intercropping enabled the

physical aspects of each plant to protect

and encourage growth of the others, while

also naturally managing pests, weeds,

and diseases. Native tribes also used

regenerative water management techniques based on their climate. Tribes in

more humid regions planted on mounds

in order to drain soil of excess moisture,

while tribes in arid climates maintained

canals for irrigation.

Much of those natural agricultural

practices got lost along the way, as industrialization and chemical crop management dominated the farming industry in

the wake of World War II. But Blackhawk

is among a growing number of farmers,

scientists, and politicians waking up to

the potential of agriculture as planet

saver.

Still, convincing other farmers in his

region that switching to regenerative agriculture is worth their time and investment

is as labor intensive as farming itself. Yet,

Blackhawk, who sits on the advisor board

of Great Plains Regeneration, is in prime

position to do just that.

He said he understands the concerns

of many farmers who resist changing

practices from how they’ve been farming for decades — even if they’re not

currently happy with their yields. It’s

a major investment in education, time,

and equipment. “Why would they want to

switch to regenerative ag? How can you

get them to stick to regenerative ag? It’s

gonna take a special group to get these

farmers to switch,” Blackhawk said. “If

there are grants to help farmers get cover

crops or help with regenerative farming,

that would be the biggest thing — to make

that available to these farmers to help

them switch.”

Blackhawk’s ultimate goal at the moment, he said, is “to get the word out

about what we’re trying to do. We need

more farmers. We need more people in

agriculture that basically can help the

planet. In my eyes, there’s not enough

farmers. There’s not enough people in ag.”

If Blackhawk has his way, he’ll change

that — one Winnebago community member at a time.

Our nature is to avoid bearing any

burden. Put another way - when possible we would like to shift our responsibility on to someone else. If a problem

comes up - who do you turn to or who

do you text or call?

If your car breaks down, if you have

a flat tire, if the sink won't drain or the

toilet overflows - who do you call? If you

break something - do you take the blame

or do you quickly think up some excuse

or someone you can shift the blame to?

Oh there are some of you who take

on each and every task head on! Or at

least if it is within your means - your

financial means and God-given abilities.

But how many times do you realize that

this problem, this burden is beyond

what you can handle.

The apostle Paul writes that each one

is responsible for carrying his own load.

Our natural tendency is to avoid carrying our own loads or burdens.

And just prior to this Paul also calls

those who are followers of Jesus to do

even more. Yes, even with your reluctance to bear your own load - Paul exhorts you to bear one another's burdens.

"Yea, right!" You say to yourself "Like I

am going to make that happen - I am

going to help others too!"

The Good News is that Jesus not only

carried His own load by living a sinless

life; He also carried the burdens of the

sin of the world. On top of this Jesus

promised to send someone who would

assist you in bearing your burden, as

well as for you to assist others in bearing their burdens.

Who did Jesus promise to send? His

Spirit who empowers us to bear the

burdens of this life. Let me give you an

example on how the Holy Spirit works

in one's life.

Recently I watched blind runners who

competed in the para-olympics. How

were they able to run in a straight line

down the course? They did so by being

tethered to a sighted individual who

would run alongside and keep them in

their running lanes to the finish line.

The sighted assistant could not run

ahead of the blind contestant and pull

them along. The Spirit of Jesus does not

drag you along life's ups and downs.

In a way, you are like the blind runner moving down the path of life. You

are to allow being tethered to the Holy

Spirit as you run the race that God has

laid out for you - all the way to the finish line - either to your death or until

Christ returns.

As you run this race you are to carry

your own load - taking up your Godgiven responsibilities as you serve in

your vocations. You are called to serve

in the various vocations of being a son,

father, daga, brother, grandfather; or

as a daughter, mother, auntie, sister,

grandmother. With God's Spirit leading

you are not to become weary in doing

good to all people, especially those to

who belong to the family of believers.

Each and every day you should be

reminded of your baptism, that is if you

have been adopted into God's family

through the gracious waters of Holy

Baptism. If so, then you are a child

of God.

As a child of God you are to keep in

step with Spirit as your guide. You are

to remember that Jesus bore your sin,

as well as the sin of the world. With the

humility and gentleness of Jesus you

are also to bear the burden of others.

You are called to bear the burden of

restoring one who transgressions with

this same gentleness and humility. Being watchful that you are not tempted

to fall into the same trap of sin.

If you have gone off track by failing

to allow the Spirit to guide you there is

time to get back on track. If you have

not yet been baptized into God's family

there is still time. Creator God grant

you His Spirit of wisdom and grace

found in Jesus our Savior!

I spoke at a wake for Duane Rave

where I made an error in talking

about Duane’s military service in

Southeast Asia. I take responsibility

for the mistake and blame nobody

but myself. I failed to mention that

Duane was a combat Marine who

served in the early part of the Vietnam conflict. I apologize to the Rave

and Red Horn families and military

members and ask for forgiveness.

We civilians watched the news

on ABC, CBS, NBC, and heard from

Henry Kissinger and Dean Rusk and

saw the daily body counts. Duane

saw the war in real life. Duane and

I became friends when we worked

construction together in 1965. We

always teased each other but it wasn’t

mean.

Duane was combat veteran who

brought honor to the Rave and Red

Horn families, Winnebago Tribe and

this country.

Garden Update

Week of September 20, 2021

Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension Horticulture Educator in Dodge County

Snails and Slugs

Snails and slugs are noted for their

voracious appetites, eating holes in the

leaves of hosta (their preferred food) but

also munching on roses, ferns, impatiens, begonias, and fruits, including

strawberries and tomatoes. You may not

see the actual snails and slugs themselves since they prefer to feed at night or

on cloudy days, but if you see holes AND

their silvery slime trails, these guys are

making themselves at home. Typically,

snails and slugs prefer to slime their way

to the center of leaves where they will eat

holes between leaf veins. Sometimes they

eat their way inward from leaf edges.

Both snails and slugs are mollusks.

They move about, crawling along with

one muscular “foot” structure. This

muscle secretes mucus to make travelling easier. Snails and slugs have a

similar appearance except snails have a

shell and slugs are shell-less.

Gardeners should employ a multitude of strategies to lower snail and slug

numbers.

•Surround plants with diatomaceous

earth in a band about one inch high by

three inches wide. Diatomaceous earth

is tiny shell shards of ancient marine

animals. As slugs and snails crawl

across diatomaceous earth, their bodies are punctured, causing dehydration

and death. Diatomaceous earth loses its

effectiveness when wet, so re-applications

will have to be made after a rainstorm.

•Use drip irrigation to reduce humidity and wet surfaces. Dry areas incur

less snail and slug activity than damp

places do.

•Snails and slugs are attracted to

the smell of fermentation. You can lay a

beer trap for them by burying a shallow

dish in the soil, so the top of the dish is

even with the soil surface. Fill the trap

with beer or near beer. Snails and slugs

will crawl towards the scent, fall into the

trap, and then drown. Check the trap

regularly, emptying it and adding more

beer as needed.

•Lay old boards around the base of

plants. Snails and slugs like to congregate

in cool moist places. Every morning, the

boards can be flipped over, and gardeners

can step on the mollusks hiding there.

•Iron phosphate, sold as Sluggo® or

Escar-Go®, interferes with snail and slug

metabolism, causing them to cease their

feeding and later dying. These products

are labeled for use on ornamentals and

food crops.

•Pesticides containing the active ingredient metaldehyde are effective against

these mollusks by dehydrating them but

may be ineffective when rainfall or irrigation provides the necessary water to

re-hydrates snails and slugs.

father is Dwight Morgan. On my Hochunk

side, my mother’s father is Harold Bigfire

(Thunder Clan), and mother is Marjorie Rice

(Snake Clan).

My Choka Harold Bigfire’s parents were

Henry Bigfire and Mary Smith-Bigfire, my

great-grandparents. Henry Bigfire’s fathers

name was “Bigfire,” and his mother’s name

was “White Spirit Woman,” my great-greatgrandparents. I would like to share an

interesting note; “White Spirit Woman” married three different times and gave birth to

children with the last names of Whitewater,

Snowball, and Bigfire.

Mary Smith-Bigfire’s parents were

“Queen Woman” and father unknown, but

according to our tribal historian, David

Smith, he speculated her father may have

been either Sam Waukon or John Smith;

my great-great-grandparents.

On my grandmother’s side, Majorie

Bigfire’s parents were her mother Belle

Snake and father Fred Rice, my greatgrandparents. Belle Snake’s parents were

Peter Snake (father) and Annie Earth

(mother). Fred Rice’s parents were Charlie

Rice (father) and Fanny Ewing (mother), my

great-great-grandparents.

I am raising two daughters. My Hinu’s

(oldest daughter) name is Hahewi (Moon)

Morgan and my Wiha’s (second daughter)

name is Haini-Wiragusge (Morning-Star).

Hahewi will be 16-year-old next month

and Haini-Wiragusge is 14 years old. Both

of daughters attend the Academy Program

at the Winnebago Public School.

Like many of you, I too am a lifelong

learner and affirm the value of education

in all its forms. I have earned a Master of

Business Administration degree in Health

Care Management with a specialization in

accounting. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor

of Science in Business Administration degree in Management and a minor in Native

American Studies. Lastly, I have completed

the first 30 credits toward my Doctor of

Business Administration degree.

Presently, I work for the Nebraska Indian

Community College. I serve as the Business

Administration and Native American Studies Division Head where I oversee and teach

within in these academic programs. Moreover, I am asked to provide my consulting

services to Native and non-Native organizations to help advance their mission.

A vision for our people’s future was

articulated by one of our late and genuine

leaders, Rueben A. Snake Jr. His generation

of relatives shared a vision for our people.

It is a vision of being self-sufficient, independent and a free people, not beholden to

others. Since that vision was articulated as

part of our story, we have been advancing it

ever since. I support this long vision.

We are in an era of abundance as

compared within our story of survival,

perseverance, and legacy. It is imperative

that we strategically plan 175 years out to

ensure our relatives legacy is continually

affirmed and the Hochunkgra generations

are “wanoishguni wi” (Well in all the ways

of wellness). I will make sure this happens

for all of us by producing a Wanioshguni wi

Strategic Plan” for the Hochunkgra.

In 2015, I ran for Council and was appointed during a turbulent time in our

story. I was asked by our voters on how

we can prevent the corruption that had

occurred during that time. I served for only

five months. Some of the major accomplishments include pushing to compact our

Treaty Hospital away from federal government to improve our healthcare system.

We now have the 12 Clans Unity Hospital

under our control. The next phase, compact

the BIA to take control of our police force

and other BIA services for the betterment

of our community.

I wrote a proposal to enact a new law,

The Whistle Blower Protection Act, which

is now part of our Native Nations laws to

help protect against unethical and illegal

behavior within our organizations. We

will continue to develop new tribal laws

to strengthen our sovereignty as a Native

Nation. You can count on it.

Further, I pushed for reestablishing the

planning department as the tribal government did not have a planning function

within its structure. Without a plan, as

the “Snake Plan” Rueben wrote, there is

no direction. So, we will write and approve

a strategic plan for our nation. You can

count on it.

Moreover, to address the housing shortage in our community, I wrote the proposal

for housing expansion during a time when

veterans were living in their vans with

children and others in our storage facilities. This was unacceptable to me on many

levels. The plan was instituted, and our

housing stock has grown since, and I am

still committed to ensuring our people have

a safe place to live and call home.

Additionally, I wrote the proposal to

expand tribal taxation revenues to fund

critical service, and institute new ones to

ensure our fire department had adequate

funding for our growing community. I was

informed by Isaac Smith that the department had never had such a large budget to

run that critical service for our community.

We will continue to use our sovereign tools,

such as tribal taxation power to ensure our

community services are funded.

Also, we approved the road expansion

project you are seeing happening in our

community. We also approved the improvement of our Veterans Memorial Park

for our annual homecoming celebration.

I will make sure we improve the parks

facilities for our upcoming homecoming

celebrations.

I did not run again in 2015. It was a

tough decision and went down to the deadline to submit my candidacy. The reason,

the consultant hired at Little Priest Tribal

College, he encouraged me to apply for

the President position as the college was

in severe trouble. All the grants were out

of compliance, the college was on financial

probation with the Department of Education, their accreditation was in jeopardy

again, they did not have a clean financial

audit in a decade, the Department of Education was about to decertify the college,

the cash flow of the college was poor, a

heavy spirit pervaded the college, and on

a national level we were not well respected

because of the reputation of having 22

Presidents where other colleges still had

their first Presidents serving. I can honorably say, I corrected all these problems,

except the turnover issue, and improved

the facilities, and operation while serving as

the longest tenured President in the history

of our established college. A college that is

to preserve the Hochunkgra language and

history as part of its overall mission and to

institute the strategic plan, I helped write

and we finally got it adopted as required

by their accreditors.

Lastly, the work I conducted for Hochunk, Inc. while serving for five years

helped our economic development company or at least one of its divisions grow from

a plateau of $8-$14 million, to a record

$72 million by the time I left in 2012 to

run the Chippewa’s economic development

corporation in Michigan.

I consider myself a spiritual person and

approach life from those principles. Our

education in this world takes many forms

and when you live within those cultural

and spiritual principles, then you make

decisions from those understandings. It’s

what Rueben talked about when he said,

to achieve our shared vision, “We want to

have the language, the culture, the value

system, the mores and ethics that our

beloved ancestors struggled so greatly

to preserve and hand down to us [and]

A reservation-based, tribally controlled

economy is vital to our continued existence

as a tribe” (Snake, 1983, p. 1, para 4-5). I

will make sure this happens for us.

Finally, I represent all Hochunkgra.

I represent all the ancestors before us,

today, and those that are yet to emerge in

this world. I do not believe in any spirit,

policy or law that divides and conquers our

people. I do not believe a culture of abuse

is a Hochunkgra value and principle. I

believe in unity, equality, representation,

equal rights, preserving our understandings of our language, culture, and history.

I believe in strengthen our sovereignty as

a Native Nation and I believe it can only

be achieved by us working together with a

balanced and healthy, mind, heart, spirit,

body, and soul.

I humbly ask for you vote on Tuesday,

October 5, 2021, for Winnebago Tribal

Council.

Isaac Smith for Winnebago Tribal Council

I would like to greet all the tribal

members and community members. I

decided to run for Tribal Council because there are areas that I feel that

need some attention. I'm willing to try

to bring solutions to the table for the

people and to be able to listen to some

of the issues that are going on with the

tribal members and families.

I would like to wish all the candidate's good luck.

Stay safe everyone!

COUNTING ON ME - Kenny Mallory

Today I finished delivering 400 plus

campaign door hangers throughout the

reservation. If you didn’t get one, it was

because of one of two reasons. First

reason: Dogs (some vicious, others just

down-right scary) kept me from coming

up to your door. Second reason: I know

there are some people who dislike me

for whatever reason, so I wanted to be

respectful of them and avoid being on

their property.

My campaign message is to convince

voters that I can be COUNTED ON to 1) Be

your voice at the council table, 2) Ensure

your share of this tribe’s prosperity, and

3) Respond to you in times of need and

assistance. I can be counted on to ensure

you (the peoples) best interests would be

served in the coming months and years.

Today is probably the brightest outlook ever for the Winnebago Tribe. We

have a new community being developed

just north of the Ho-Chunk Village and

a new main street with round-abouts at

both ends of town (inviting to new businesses and jobs). We have a new Catholic

school in the process of being built (I’ve

seen what it will look like when completed

and it’s something to take great pride in).

Finally, we have a new gaming enterprise

(Warhorse Casinos) that will generate

revenue beyond anything that we’ve ever

seen for this tribe.

I hope to be one of the decision-makers

(as a tribal council member) that will help

put those new sources of revenue into

present and future endeavors for this

tribe and its members.

In closing, you can COUNT ON ME to

keep my word on the campaign cards I

delivered to your homes. My family and

I will be serving Milwaukee Weiner chili

and hot dogs in the Reformed Church

basement on election day. Come and

join us.

You can count on me,

Kenn Mallory

P.S. I like the words of George Earth

(one of this tribe’s former undertakers)

“I will be the last one to let you down.”

Winnebago Tribal Members - Rona Stealer

I am asking for your vote on October 5th

for tribal council. In 2020 I was elected to

a one-year term on the Winnebago Tribal

Council and accepted the honor of becoming the Treasurer for the council.

Since that time, I have worked diligently

on your behalf by prioritizing program activities that will best serve the people. One

thing I did not expect was to serve during a

world-wide pandemic! The practicalities of

serving the people suddenly became even

more important. We needed supplies, food,

and to quickly move forward to ensure

the safety and survival of our people. As

the Treasurer of the Tribe I made myself

available for all meetings that involved the

pandemic task force, other tribal, state and

federal entities to ensure the fiscal stability

and well-being of the tribe and our people

Daily tasks are time consuming but no

task has been left undone. I have provided

financial technical assistance to tribal

programs. I reviewed policies to increase

understanding of program goals and objec-

tives. As a council member and treasurer

I have assisted individuals through guidance of available resources from our tribal

programs, educated myself by gathering all

facts and applying all policies and procedures as necessary. Additionally, I continue

to do the daily work in the Treasurer’s

Office along with our finance department,

council meetings and committee assignments.

In the next three years I will follow

through with projects started in 2020

including the Pandemic Task Force, Tax

Commission, Education priorities and become active in tribal representation at the

national level. I will work to increase tribal

awareness and outreach to programs. Another goal is to initiate tribal council training on budgets and fiscal responsibility in

the next year.

The thing is, there is no handbook to becoming a tribal leader and today, we must

challenge ourselves to become “more” and

at the same time remain true to our culture

and heritage. This year, I have learned it

takes patience, understanding, knowledge

and awareness of fiscal responsibility to be

a good council member. I give much credit

to a mentor and elder, Louie LaRose. Louie

carries much knowledge and understanding of what our people need and deserve. I

appreciate his guidance.

I am asking for your vote on October 5th

to continue to serve you as a member of

the Winnebago Tribal Council for the next

three years.

Pinagigi Wi,

Rona Stealer

Re-elect:Rona Stealer and

Louie LaRose

Winnebago Tribal Members - Louie LaRose

I am a candidate for a position on the

Winnebago Tribal Council. I have the experience to serve as a member of the Council.

My service to the Winnebago Tribe began

in 1969.

Attorneys James Botsford, Robert

Peregoy and myself successfully lobbied the

Nebraska Unicameral for Retrocession. It

is the concept where there is a process of

the return of criminal and civil jurisdiction

to Tribes. In this day and age it is very difficult to get Retrocession legislation passed.

When I was president of the InterTribal

Bison Cooperative we began to deal with

the problem of bison migrating out of Yellowstone National Park into Montana, an

act of sure death. The ITBC and National

Wildlife Federation worked on a plan to give

bison to qualified tribes. One day I saw on

television a truck unloading Yellowstone

bison at a reservation in Montana. I was

watching a vison come true.

I write about the issues to show you

what I along with others have accomplished. I have failures but I can get up,

dust myself off and start over again. One

day a community member said I looked

like an old buffalo bull to shame me out. It

did just the opposite. I am buffalo proud.

Thank you, I needed that.

During the last year and a half the

Council has dealt with the pandemic. It

was heart breaking to hear of the loss

of Tribal members and those that were

sick with COVID. We are fortunate to

have programs that immediately dealt

with the COVID pandemic according to

CDC guidelines. I want to thank all the

medical and health workers for outstanding work to guide the Tribe. The whole

Council worked together with very little

discord. They the put the peoples’ need

above all else.

It’s very important that we support

HCI. We have many young people employed there that represent the future and

someday will be leaders of the Tribe. In

addition, Reuben Snake’s vision is coming true. The gardening program is the

central part of his plan to become selfsufficient by the year 2000.

My goal is to see a new Boys and Girls

Club building. My late friend erected the

present building as a feed store about 40

years ago. However we do it, we need a

new youth facility for our children.

A major problem facing the community is our young people who don’t have

a driver’s license. When you add driver’s

license to the work requirement of employment you drastically reduce the number

of applicants. The Winnebago Housing

Development Corporation can’t get employees to drive service trucks. We need

to train people to get an operator’s license

so they can drive personal vehicles and

trucks. We can get curriculum from local

community colleges to set the education

standards so they can have a certificate

and be certified. We should pay people

with driver’s license a higher wage.

I am on a team with Victoria, Lorelei,

Brian and Rona. We represent quite a

range of backgrounds and experience. It’s

fun working with a young energetic team

of council members.

I am running with Rona Stealer. Rona

is a valuable asset to the council and tribe.

After she was seated on the council, she

was elected treasurer. She took on the position and made a believer out of me. The

tribe has to confront some really tough

issues and we need strong people to serve

on the council to face the challenges, Rona

can meet those challenges.

Respectfully, James Louis LaRose

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 09-28-2021, there are no recent meth arrest(s) to report.
