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
singers were welcomed to participate.

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

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!

I also am not a coffee drinker! Personally, the taste is bitter, but I do love how it
smells ha-ha. If anything, I would rather
go for a hot chocolate, it's still seasonal!

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

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.

of you. My relatives know me as, Maunka
Morgan. Wakaja hikikarac hiza wauhajena.
Hochunk Nisoc eja howawajina.
I am a member of the Thunder Clan. I
am a Hochunk living near the turbulent
waters, the Missouri River.
My mother is Pearl Bigfire-Morgan and
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.
