Bass Sioux City IA - This year will be the 20th year that the Memorial March to Honor Lost Children will be held, and the history of the march and its purpose are still being discussed today. Recalling back to last year's event, Tribal Councilman Aric Armell carried the flag staff to lead the 5-mile walk. One Winnebago tribal member spoke on the lack of Winnebago youth involved in the Memorial March. This year to raise awareness of this event the WIN would like to discuss the history of the march, its importance, and what to look forward to this year. A reflection paper written by the late Dr. Frank LaMere (2016) said “The memorial march to Honor Lost Children has grown from an act of frustration and a show of unity into a Spiritual Celebration and true remembrance of children and families who have been impacted by the child welfare system.” The march is nothing more and nothing less than HAND DRUM MAKING CLASS October 21st HoChunk Renaissance hosted a Hand Drum making class! 10 participants were able to go through the process of tying hide on oak hardwood. Thank you to the instructor Dawson Big Eagle for sharing his knowledge & HoChunk Renaissance for the opportunity! DEER HARVESTING DEMO November 4th The Little Priest Tribal College Community Education held a deer cleaning demo. Attendees were given a hands-on teaching of the process with Instructor Justin McCauley!

Photo taken was at the 19th annual Memorial March. Tribal Councilman Aric Armell carried the flagstaff for the full 5 miles of the march. an acknowledgement of those Native families who have been pulled apart and a community that has come together with a resolve to change things.”In our tribal histories we know erasure of connection to culture comes with having little to no contact with our families and communities. The WIN met with Valerie Uken who is a Project Director of the Winnebago Public Health Department and the Executive Director of the Urban Native Center in Sioux City, IA. She comes from the Yankton Sioux tribe, and she shared “the importance of it is not to forget about where we are, to help us heal, to help build, and strengthen our youth so we have a better future. It needs to continue for that reason, so our youth will know there's always a future for them.” In 2019 Uken was hired with the Winnebago Tribe as a liaison to work with Dr. Frank LaMere to help families stay out of the system. She shared “I was blessed with this position to work with Frank, I never had an opportunity to learn the other part of my culture, and I’m humbled.” Uken has had much experience advocating for children. She taught softball & basketball to middle eastern youth through her time in the military. Adding “when I get home, I really get to do what I need to do, and that’ll improve the situation for Native families.” She shared that many times DHS focuses on keeping the parents clean, but much of the time the child is left behind. The Official 20th Annual Memorial March to Honor Lost Children will be held Wednesday, November 22, 2022, at sunrise starting at 7:30 am at War Eagle monument in Sioux City, IA. The first prayer starts at 8am, and the march will end at approximately 12pm with the fourth prayer. A traditional meal will be held at the Sioux City Convention Center.

Bass WINNEBAGO, NE – Driving through Winnebago on a beautiful fall day, the essence of our community can be felt. During the liveliest of times students can be seen walking from school, jogging/training for track and field meets, or walking from the Dollar General for after school munchies. Community members may feel a sense of “home” and comfort. Which is why protecting the air we breathe and the water we drink is important to protect in the Winnebago community. Recently the Winnebago Tribe issued a statement regarding the proposed Carbon Dioxide (Co2) pipeline. The Tribal Council unanimously approved a resolution requesting an environmental impact study to be conducted on the Summit Carbon Pipeline and the Navigator Heartland Pipeline. It was asked of the Army Crops of Engineers, the Woodbury County Commissioners, Dakota County Commissioners, and the Iowa Utility Board to require a study to be done prior to any issuance of permits for the Co2 pipelines. The request was declined by Iowa regulators. On October 13th, 2022, the Ames company addressed the proposed pipeline’s environmental impact in connection with its request for a permit to build the 680mile project that crosses 29 Iowa counties. It was suggested from the Iowa Utilities Board that Summit Carbon file testimony V i s i t u s a t The proposed Co2 Pipeline is proposed to extend across 5 states, and lands just north of Winnebago reservation boundaries and exhibits that address the environmental permits and authorizations that it needs to build the proposed pipeline. The board said, “other parties may file testimony in response to the evidence presented by Summit Carbon.” The Winnnebago reservation boundaries extends over the river in Iowa. The proposed pipeline construction would take place north of the Winnebago reservation but would cross at the Missouri River, where the tribe is downstream.

This is one match you don’t want to miss. The WIN had the opportunity to pull Trinidad-Snake out of work and training for a quick interview. Carlos TrindadSnake (Huk Nejuxi “First in Line to be Chief ” – Snake Clan) is the son of Annabelle Snake and Juan Trindad, and the grandson of Lenore Snake and Chuck Bowman, and Stuart Snake Sr. He has been fighting professionally for 3 years. Prior to that he began fighting at the age of 18. His current win/loss record is 2-0 in bare knuckle, undefeated in knockouts and in MMA he is 2-0, with 2 knockouts. He is at 100% in his professional career. His predominant fighting style is a “striker”, but also mixed martial arts, jujitsu, and wrestling. He had shared “I just feel like it was something I was good at. I know people in it, it just feels natural to me. I like being there. I like being in the fight. I like being in a hard fight, ya know?” In preparing for each match he had shared, “we’re trying different stuff every day. Train wrestling one day, boxing the next. I go to different gyms, my main is the boxing gym, we practice a lot of Muay Thai boxing, and have got more into Brazilian jiu jitsu. My coach for submission wrestling who ZERIAH GEORGE KICKS OFF HER FIRST COLLEGE WRESTLING SEASON Written by: Jordana R. Bass handles all the groundwork, and he’s one of the vets in the game, and they got the secret.” He also mentioned he takes his son to the gym with him, and his son trains jiu jitsu The most memorable fight for him was his first bare knuckles fight. Adding “that one was televised and was streamed, and we had a big audience. It was a big platform, so when I walked out there, I wanted to make an impression. I wanted to win. I wanted to do it, in some type of cool way. I knocked the dude on in like 28 seconds or something like that.” Diet is an extremely important piece to a fighters career, Trinidad-Snake shared “I diet around the fight, I like to eat, you know what I’m saying? But when I’m in season I switch my diet a little bit, and to make sure I make my weigh-in before the fight. I haven’t missed one yet. I feel like that’s a big part as a pro career. For anyone who is interested in fighting as a professional career, he has some advice for you “Stick to it, stay disciplined, stay d e t e r m i n e d . D o n’ t l o s e motivation, that’s the big thing. You got to keep that hunger alive somehow.” The fight will be taking place at the Liberty First Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. Doors open between 6pm-7pm. COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA – Winnebago wrestling has had very much success as it begins to take off for youth in the Winnebago community. Last season the girls wrestling team at Winnebago Public School had three state qualifiers. But let’s rewind to Zeriah George’s high school career and remember the gold medals she has take home for WPS. She is back in action with the Iowa Western Reivers and ready to hit the ground running, or should we say pinning? Zeriah took time away from classes and practice to discuss her upcoming season. Zeriah George (Bear clan) is the daughter of Iva Masquat and Mitchell DeCora, and the granddaughter of Lois Lee Masquat and Melvin Masquat jr. Currently she is a freshman who is majoring in Criminal Justice at Iowa Western. She shared, “school has been great here, and I am so super glad that I made the Written by: Jordana R. Bass transfer. My experience with the wrestling team has been good, building new relationships with my team.” The challenges of being a college student athlete can be challenging, and wrestling at a higher level there is more competition and room for growth. George said “in my opinion it’s different and definitely not for the weak. At the college level I definitely train year-round. I view it as a job that I love to do. I look forward to the competition, and doing what I do best on the mat.” Upon graduating college her plans are to pursue a career in law enforcement, and one day she plans on coming back to Winnebago Public School to coach.

Fall home maintenance may feel tedious or daunting, depending on your interest level. However, it’s extremely important! EPD Air Quality, November 2022, by Kurt Lyons RSV SEASON IS HERE! PUBLISHED ON BEHALF OF, WINNEBAGO PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT The Winnebago Public Health Nursing Department wants you to be aware that the Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season is here! This is a common winter virus, especially for children, but it can be a serious illness! Anyone can catch RSV at any time of year; even adults! In Nebraska, most infections occur during the winter months, from October to April. RSV season depends upon where you live in the United States, so please be aware of this if you travel. Every year almost 60,000 children, especially those under 5 years of age, are hospitalized due to RSV. For many healthy children, RSV causes lung and airway infections leading to mild, and cold-like symptoms. Premature infants, and infants younger than 2 are at high-risk. Any child, especially those younger than 2, with a history of a transplant, weakened immune system, or any heart or lung condition are also at risk. Unfortunately, those at high-risk can develop severe lung infections. How does RSV spread? RSV spreads easily, entering through the eyes, nose or mouth. The virus spreads through direct and indirect contact with someone who already has the virus. Direct contact is physical contact with someone who has the virus through touching, kissing or breathing in droplets sent into the air by coughing and sneezing. Indirect contact happens by touching something with the virus and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth. Most importantly, the virus lives for several hours on surfaces like countertops, shopping carts, toys and unwashed hands. RSV is easily spread in daycare centers and crowded houses. What are the symptoms of RSV? RSV symptoms appear 4-6 days after coming in contact with the virus. Older children or adults may only have mild cold-like symptoms. Severe complications from RSV include: developing pneumonia, ear infections, asthma and repeated infections. Contact your doctor right away if you and or your child have any of these symptoms. What can you do to stop the spread of RSV? Practice the following healthcare practices: • Wash your baby’s (child or adult) bedding in hot water often. • Wash your hands often, especially before touching your baby, child, or another person. • Stay away from crowds. • Stay away from people who are ill. • Stay home if you are ill or your child is ill. • Do not allow people to smoke around you or your children. • Clean and disinfect surface areas often. • Wearing a mask may stop the spread. If you have any questions, be sure to reach out to your health care provider! ***Article adapted from the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Division of Viral Diseases (2020). Severe symptoms of RSV in high-risk infants or adults include: • Rapid or labored breathing • Severe cough • Wheezing • High fever • Bluish skin due to a lack of oxygen Vo l u m e 51, Number through the International Association of Emergency Managers.

This year is the 20th year of the Memorial March, so you are invited and encouraged to attend to make the event the largest “show out” to date. Uken said “I feel like one of the things that people stay away from the march, between Native and NonNative is because it brings back bad memories. But we’re trying to find that bridge for healing. It’s important for local tribes to attend because many of their children have been in that situation. We have Winnebago, Omaha, Santee, Ponca, and Alaska natives in Sioux City that have been through the system. It’s important to know their rights as parents and children.” In a written statement from Judy Yellowbank regarding the history of ICWA it began with the case of Hannah Thomas who died at the hands of her foster parent because of, Shaken Baby Syndrome in December of 1997. Prior to her death, a Native family fought in court to take Hannah. However, they were met with obstacles and false accusations. The case was a blatant violation of ICWA and moved tribal Native communities to act. Uken shared “after the three children were killed in foster care, advocates, and the grandma’s marched. Each year it’s been about networking and collaborating.” LaMere was one of the major role players to lead the way. Uken also added “Frank, his years of work was to create a better environment. The system isn’t perfect, but it has come a long way because now we have a family first mandate, reunification, and customary adoptions.” What that entails are mothers/fathers don’t automatically lose their rights, where a child can go to another family member. Once what they need to ensure a child has a healthy home environment, that child can return to the parent. The obstacles our ancestors have overcome still carry on in different aspects of our current tribal societal issues. Going back to 1860, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) opened the first of 350 “Indian” boarding schools, with the intention of “civilizing” Native American/Indigenous Children. Which in more recent years has been called a “Cultural Genocide”. The Boarding School student number rose by the 1960’s-1970’s, reaching up to 60,000 in 1973. The U.S. government then rolled out the Indian Adoption Act, which had placed 395 Native American children from western states with white families in the midwest to the east coast. Data showed that 25%-35% of Native children had been removed during that era, which led to the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978.

It also works to reduce the overrepresentation of Native children CO2 PIPELINE Story Continued from page 1... is deadly when inhaled, what happens when this pipeline fails? The pipeline construction path is placed on the ancestral lands of the Nebraska tribes, when happens when they disturb our ancestors’ burial sites? There is just too much unknown for these pipelines, that’s why it’s important that this study be conducted. It’s our duty to protect mother Earth.” An environmental impact study is important in any proposed environmental project. What it does is outlines the impact of a proposed project on its surrounding environment. They are meant to inform the work and decisions of policymakers and community leaders. Summit Carbon says its carbon pipeline would prevent 12 million tons of Co2 from entering the atmosphere every year. The Heartland Greenway pipeline, proposed by Dallas-based Navigator Co2 Ventures, would also run through Northeast Nebraska. Like the Summit pipeline, it would transport captured carbon dioxide to be sequestered underground in Illinois. Carbon sequestration projects, like these, have been proposed as a means of slowing climate change, as carbon dioxide generated by industrial processes is thought to present little risk of warming the plant if it’s pumped underground. The primary source of Co2 emissions come from transportation, electricity, and industry. The emissions can stay in the atmosphere for as long as thousands of years. Carbon dioxide is Earth’s most important Vo l u m e in the child welfare system, and On November 22nd, 2022, it serves to underscore and affirm you are invited to march tribal nations to self-governance. In the U.S. Supreme Cour t i n t h e 2 0 t h A n n u a l c a s e r e g a r d i n g B r a c k e e n V. Memorial March to Haaland, arguments have begun Honor Lost Children. November, 9th, 2022. Our tribal sovereignty would be at stake. If ICWA is overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the outcome will be detrimental for Native children and their families. The reasoning is due to a case in June of 2016, a 10-month old Navajo boy was placed with Chad and Jennifer Brackeen. The child was placed with the family after his mother was found to be using drugs. In 2017 a Texas state court terminated the rights of the biological parents. Under the provisions of ICWA, the Navajo Nation stepped in and pushed to place the child with a Navajo family, but that failed and the Brackeens were allowed to adopt the child. They then attempted to adopt the boy’s sister. The Brackeens then filed suit in federal court to overturn ICWA on the grounds of racial discrimination. As we stand today, all that Dr. Frank LaMere stood up against is again at the forefront of Native American social issues. The march is one way to take a stand against Brackeen v. Haaland. In conclusion Dr. Frank LaMere shared “Miracles have happened along the way most importantly the people gather to remember, to pray and to reaffirm that we cannot be quiet until all of our families are protected. As I have said before this may be the last march… or they may go on forever.” greenhouse gas, it’s a gas that absorbs and radiates heat. Greenhouse gases absorb heat radiating from the Earth’s surface and rereleases it into, not just in the four directions. But all directions. By adding more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, people are supercharging the natural greenhouse effect, causing global temperature to rise. Which would indicate the decline of snowfall over the last 5-10 years, that Co2 emissions greatly effect the ozone layer. Resulting in global warming, the draught of rain on our tribal farms has decreased significantly. Without rainfall, then how can we flourish in our food sovereignty. T h e Wi n n e b a g o E nv i r o n m e n t a l Protection Department has been serving the Tribe since 2000. Joseph Painter III (Te’e Caxe ga “Hard to Kill” – Bear Clan) is the son of Joseph jr. and Cheryl Painter. His maternal grandparents are the late DuWayne Decora & Lillian LeBeau Chase, and his paternal grandparents are the late Joseph Painter sr. & Mary Cleveland Painter. He is currently the EPD manager. The value of having clean air and clean water is ensuring the safety of those who drink the water, and breathe the air in our little community. Painter III shared, “quality water is important because chemicals that can be harmful to us may be in the water we drink. Also, chemicals that can be harmful not only to us from contact and/or ingestion during swimming, but pets, fish, wildlife such as birds, deer, turkey, etc. can be in the water that flows in the creeks and streams, rivers, ponds, and wetlands. Even if a person doesn’t go near the water, may be affected by eating fish that live in the water or other wildlife that eat the fish.” The same goes for air quality, anything that enters your body can affect your health and welfare. It is tough to decide which alternative to go, allowing greenhouse emissions to affect the air we breathe. But what if the proposed Co2 pipeline fails and leaks into the Missouri river? Co2 could effect our wildlife and water. In the event of a carbon pipeline rupture or leak, an explosive plume of Co2 gas can emerge, odorless and colorless, and asphyxiant that can suffocate all living beings. At concentrations 51, Number 23 • S a t u r d a y, between 2-10%, Co2 can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased blood pressure, and respiratory rate. According to the Des Moines Register, nearly two years ago, a 24 inch pipeline carrying liquefied Co2 ruptured near the village of Satartia, Mississippi. It was built though hilly, rugged terrain. Drenched in rain for over 2 months, soil around the pipeline slid, causing a pipe weld to break and releasing an explosion of ice and carbon dioxide, according to the federal agency that investigated the accident. Co2 then rolled toward the village of 50 people. Emergency personnel evacuated around 200 residents, 45 of them sought medical attention, according to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportations Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. What can we do today to reduce the What can we do today to help reduce Co2, little efforts matter. Examples could be, improving the insulation of buildings, travel in more fuelefficient vehicles, using more energy efficient appliances. Reuce personal energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use. Reduce distance traveled in vehicles. Even a CCS project may transport the Co2 through a pipeline, and inject it dep underground, where it could be transported to a nearby abandoned oil field, where it would be securely stored. As of September 20th, 2022, Summit Carbon Solutions announced a new milestone in its Co2 pipeline project, with 1,400 easement agreements signed in Iowa. The $4.5 billion project is expected to see the construction of a 2,000- mile pipeline set to pass through Nebraska, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa. According to them, this milestone secures another 350 miles of proposed route. Meaning at this pace, construction will begin as planned, just about a year from now, in 2023. There are pros and cons of a potential Co2 pipeline, but what can we do as a community to bring awareness and educate ourselves that would protect the drinking water of our community, as well as honor Mother Earth. Today, the issue still sits on "the table".

And while several nutrients in squash like the carotenoids, vitamin C, polysaccharide fibers, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium have been researched individually for their role in health and chronic disease prevention, there is a lack of epidemiological studies or controlled trials looking at specific health benefits of winter squash. Historically, winter squash has been used in some cultures as a medicinal plant to treat diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, high cholesterol, and inflammation. LEGAL NOTICE: 3/3 Notice of Hearing Case No. CV22-131 In the Matter of the Custody Application of: Mary Morrison In Re: J.M (Born 5/2007) K.T (Born 7/2008) TO: Jessica Thompson, Mother Eric Morrison, Father You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed for Guardianship and a hearing concerning the above referred Individual(s) in Case No. CV22-039 has been scheduled and will be heard in the Winnebago Tribal Court of Winnebago, Nebraska on the 7th day of December, 2022 at the hour of 11:30 A.M. • Diabetes: Squash is a dense, filling food despite being fairly low in calories (45-90 calories per cup cooked, depending on type) with a low glycemic index and load. Butternut squash, for example, has almost half the amount of carbohydrate of a sweet potato. Squash also contains polysaccharides, a type of indigestible fiber that can prevent blood sugar from rising after eating, as shown in animal studies. The protein and unsaturated oils from the seeds may also have a moderating effect on blood sugar. • Cancer: Certain compounds in squash like beta-carotene and lutein are classified as flavonoids that may help to protect human cells from the damaging effects of oxygen. Flavonoids have been researched extensively for their possible role in affecting or inhibiting cancer cell growth. • Heart health: Winter squash is rich in potassium (about 500 mg in 1 cup of cooked butternut or acorn squash), which can help to counteract the deleterious effects of sodium on blood pressure. Decreased cholesterol was observed when giving pumpkin polysaccharides to healthy and diabetic mice.

The Native American Faith Group includes enrolled members of various tribes including Oglala Lakota, Sicangu Lakota, Isanti Dakota, Omaha, Winnebago, Ponca, Navajo, Apache, Choctaw, and Cherokee Nations, persons with connections to various tribes, and connection to native american ceremonies. The Native American Faith Group was formed in 1974 after the U.S. District Court ordered that the native american persons incarcerated within the Nebraska State Penitentiary were to be treated fairly and be allowed to freely spiritually express themselves. Including wearing traditional hairstyles, access to purification inipi ceremonies, access to sacred pipe, and pow wow ceremonies. The specific support we have had in the past has been from Tribes of Nebraska, elders, community leaders, veterans, spiritual leaders, sun dancers, pipe carriers, UNL Professors, and retired persons. Some have been native american and others were from other nations. The NDCS made substantial changes to how we receive, purchase, and possess approved religious articles and access to native american ceremonies. The NDCS only allows delivery of wood on their dime or time and we must cover the rest. The NDCS provisions limiting hobby crafts and eliminating hobby sales has crippled our potential earnings that ordinarily off set the immediate needs. We have several persons whom have tremendous artistic talents, but without materials or an outlet to sell our works we are in dire need. How we organize is essential for the continual function. We asked for our own fund around the turn of the millineum 1999 - 2000 and it is referred to as the Native American Spiritual Fund. {NASF} We can complete an institutional check to the fund and donate personally. We can procure stones, medicines, and materials for native american faith utilizing this fund. The NASF is the fund that we purchase the sage, cedar, sweetgrass, bitterroot, drums, hide, fabric, string, and can sa sa{red willow bark}. We mainly order through Mato Ska in California and Pilcher' s Indian Store in Omaha, Nebraska. The R􀀎,:"'ill only allow us to spend money in the account. The lodge annually needs willows, tarps, wood, rocks, and medicines to allow ceremony for the men here. It is quite expensive and we have struggled through these past years. We do collect donations from the men here, but it does not cover a fraction of the costs. On behalf of the Native American Faith Group I am respectfully requesting a relief payment to NASF to offset the costs of native american spiritual ceremonies. If your tribe or organization is interested in donating, they must contact our Warden for permission to send the monies, depending on the amount, the tribe may have to contact the director's office. $1 to $499 may be approved on the NSP Warden level, $500 to $10,000 is approved at the director level.

I encourage you or your office to contact the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs, and direct them to intervene. I believe it is their duty to improve access to services between native americans and state agencies.

Not only does the youth benefit, but I think everyone in both Tribes and the community benef its from understanding the deeps ties between the two Tribes. When the Hōcąk fled Crow Creek over 150 years ago it was the Umoⁿhoⁿ who aided them and permitted them to reside here. Both Tribes also share language and cultural connections that likely extend hundreds if not thousands of years into the past. Today many community members have shared descent f r o m b o t h Tr i b e s . Re me mb e r i ng th i s, we hope the spirit of collaboration persists between the two Tribes. Thank you, from the family of Kenneth A. DeCora Submitted by the family of Kenneth A. Decora We wish to thank you very much for the donations and thoughtful cards during our loss. The outcome was inevitable for Kenneth, because of poor health conditions. Your cards and their messages were encouraging for us. Thank you again.
