Indians are Lewis & Clark Tournament Champs…Again!

Bago Bits…

The Indians hosted the Wakefield Trojans
last week for Senior Night. Here’s a shot
of some Winnebago fans with the Trojans
Mascot.
The Winnebago Indians captured another conference Championship last week as they chapped up Class C-2 #2 rated Ponca Indians. The
Indians snapped up Ponca once before in The Swamp, 60-57, but lost to Ponca, 53-48 on their home court in Ponca. The Indians left no doubt
in the L&C conference championship game winning 51-41, at The Cave, in Laurel, Nebraska. Go Big Blue. The Indians are home this Friday,
and sub-districts start next Tuesday.

The fight over the Dakota Access
Pipeline is entering a crucial phase as
tribes and their citizens place their faith
in a system of justice that hasn't always
addressed their concerns.
In a brief highlighting the federal
government's long history of troubled
dealings with the first Americans, the 16
tribes of North Dakota, South Dakota
and Nebraxska urged a federal judge to
halt construction on the final portion of
the pipeline. The Great Plains Tribal
Chairman’s Association said completion of the controversial project will
cause "irreparable harm" to the rights
promised in treaties that are regarded
in the U.S. Constitution as the "supreme
law of the land."
"The approval of DAPL without fully
involving the affected tribes and seeking
their free, prior, and informed consent,
and without considering treaty hunting, fishing, protectorate, and water
rights is another in a long line of actions
that place the interests of non-Indians
above the interests of Native peoples of
the Great Plains to the detriment of the
tribes," the brief, which was submitted
on behalf of the 16 tribes by theNative
American Rights Fund on Friday, stated.
The filing wasn't the only one lodged
on Friday. The Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe formally joined the Cheyenne
River Sioux Tribe in seeking an order
that would block the final portion of the
pipeline pending further consideration
of treaties, sacred sites, water resources
and other issues that so far have been
ignored by the new Donald Trump administration.
"In every era, when the United States
responds to demands from those seeking to advance particular economic
interests – for gold in the Black Hills,
for land for non-Indian homesteaders
on our reservation, or for navigation

V i s i t

u s

a t

or hydropower – it has always been the
tribe that has borne the heavy burdens,
through the loss of our lands and harm
to our way of life," Chairman Dave Archambault II said in a sworn declaration.
"While so much has been taken away by
the misdeeds of the federal government,
the tribe has survived, and we have an
obligation to protect what remains for the
good of our children."
And now that the Trump administration has approved the pipeline,
both tribes are seeking to amend their
original complaints to account for the
latest developments. They argue that
the decision by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to grant the easement for
Dakota Access, along with the decision
by the Department of the Army to cancel
an environmental review of the final portion, constitute new actions that can be
challenged in court.
"We must take positive steps to see
that our rights are not ignored by the
federal government," Archambault stated
in his declaration. "That is why we have
stressed the importance of meaningful consultation regarding the Dakota
Access pipeline. We must see that the
federal government, which has solemn
obligations under our treaties and under the trust responsibility, hears our
voices, and protects our reservation and
our way of life. As Chairman of the tribe,
I have done all I can to advance these
principles."
Standing Rock is also supporting the
addition of a new party to the lawsuit.
Steve Vance, the historic preservation
officer for Cheyenne River, filed papers
on Saturday seeking to join the case on
religious freedom grounds.
"Mr. Vance is a sincere practitioner
of the traditional Lakota faith," his attorneys wrote in a proposed complaint.
"Mr. Vance believes that the siting of
the Dakota Access Pipeline under Lake

Oahe will desecrate the waters such
that they will be rendered unsuitable
for use in the sacraments required by
his religious faith, in particular the Inipi
ceremony," they added, in reference to
sweat lodge activities that depend on
clean water from the Missouri River.
Thanks to Republican President Donald Trump, who ordered an "expedited"
review of Dakota Access just four days
after taking office, the pipeline is set to
cross the Missouri, or more specifically,
go under the river. The wealthy backers
of the project intend to start filling it with
crude in 60 days and oil could be flowing
along the entire 1,172-mile route in less
than 90 days.
That is, unless Judge James E. Boasberg takes action on Indian Country's
requests. So far in the litigation, he
has twice refused to halt construction
but that was before the Army Corps
granted an easement for work in North
Dakota and before the Army terminated
the environmental impact statement,
or EIS, that was ordered only two days
before Trump was sworn in as the 45th
president of the United States.
Boasberg is hearing arguments on
Monday afternoon and could issue a
decision at any time. If he refuses to
halt construction, something he did last
September, an appeal is possible.
The case already made one trip to
the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals but
construction resumed without a full
resolution of an injunction sought by
Standing Rock. This time, both Cheyenne River and Standing Rock are pushing for action so presumably both would
participate in an appeal.
On the other hand, if Boasberg grants
some form of a restraining order or
injunction, Dakota Access is vowing a
challenge. The firm already missed a
January 1 target date to start transportCon’t. on page 2 ...

ing oil from North Dakota to Illinois.
"Dakota Access is not willing to agree
with a further delay," attorney David
Debold said during a February 6 hearing
Debold also offered a preview of the
argument Dakota Access will make
against attempts to halt construction.
He contends the tribes are not harmed
by drilling under the Missouri, or even
the installation of pipe under the river,
but by the movement of oil along that
pipe. Since shipments aren't expected
until 83 days at the earliest, he believes
there would be no need for a restraining
order or injunction at a sooner date.
"We don't agree that the drilling of the
pipeline, the construction of the pipeline
is harmless," countered Jan Hasselman, an attorney for Standing Rock.
The Army Corps, as the defendant
in the lawsuit, has not yet disclosed
its legal strategy going forward. But
the Department of Justice is now under new leadership -- former Sen. Jeff
Sessions (R-Alabama), Trump's pick
for Attorney General, was sworn into
office last week after being confirmed
by the Senate on a vote that fell largely
along party lines.
Monday's hearing takes place at 2pm
Eastern in Courtroom 19 of the federal courthouse in D.C. It occurs as
hundreds of tribal leaders and tribal

citizens are in the nation's capital for the
winter session of the National Congress
of American Indians.
"Treaties are the supreme law of the
land," NCAI President Brian Cladoosby
said in a statement last week objecting
to the approval of the pipeline. "To suddenly change the decision and issue the
easement after already starting the legal
process of preparing an environmental
impact statement is arbitrary and capricious.”
Just hours before the critical hearing,
Cladoosby is delivering the first State of
Indian Nations of the Trump era. The
event takes place at the Newseum, a private facility steps away from the federal
courthouse.
"As we continue to stand together
as indigenous people ... we can change
our world thoughts, we can change
what's happening to our water, our
land and our people," LaDonna Brave
Bull Allard, a Standing Rock citizen
who founded the Sacred Stone Camp,
the original #NoDAPL prayer site, said
on Sunday from Minnesota where
she was taking part in an inter-tribal water conference that drew allies
from the U.S. and Canada.

In My Opinion
JESUS OUR SAVIOR
more motivated by his business inter- LUTHERAN OUTREACH

Thoughts from the News… by Lance Morgan

I watch the news all the time now.
Since Donald Trump has been elected
the whole news has become a sort of
giant reality TV show. I keep wondering what will happen next and who
will be the winners and losers as his
presidency plays out.
I am concerned about Indian Country. I wrote right after he won the election that the Dakota Access Pipeline
would be approved as soon as he got
around to it. He signed an executive
order ordering the permits be issued
within the first week of being in office.
This was hardly a surprise, but it is
telling how casually he dismissed the
tribal people’s concerns in favor of big
business.
I think his favoring big business will
be his guiding principle when it comes
to tribal interests. I don’t necessarily
think he has any real negatives social
thoughts on tribal people. In fact, I
think he gives us very little thought at
all. His only public comments were 20
years ago, when the tribal casinos in
Connecticut were hurting his Atlantic
City casinos. He went after the tribes
making several negative and insensitive comments, but even this was likely

ests than any overt dislike of natives.
I think we will likely be ignored on
a few different levels. I used to call it
benign neglect under President George
W. Bush. Strangely under George W.,
the neglect was helpful in some ways.
It allowed us to get into multiple internet businesses that were controversial.
President Bush just didn’t care enough
to bother to stop Indian Country and
his anything goes attitude towards
business allowed a sort of free for all in
some areas.
President Obama was open and caring on the social issues, but he was
pretty harsh on tribal economic issues,
targeting the online lending and tobacco
businesses that had emerged under
President Bush.
Under President Trump, I think the
social issues might get a little lip service,
but likely not much overall attention. It
will be a little like benign neglect under
President Bush. However, I think it will
have a different twist. If a large company has an economic interest in the
outcome, I think we should assume that
tribal concerns and interests will not
matter much in the scheme of things.
We should assume protesting will not
work. I suspect a large number of lawsuits will be filed over the next four years
by tribes trying to get their voice heard.
Overall President Trump will be
good for lawyers, indifferent on social
issues and will favor large companies
against tribal concerns. I think the best
way to deal with it is to cultivate both
Democratic and Republican members of
congress to fight for our small share of
the pie. My guess is that if our congressional representatives care enough then
they can influence the process enough
to at least help on the social issues and
maybe balance the big economic ones.
In the meantime, Ho-Chunk, Inc.
intends to keep growing and keep diversifying so that we have the ability to
survive and thrive in any type of political
environment.

“Anger Management”
There once was a warrior named David who made various raids on the enemies of his tribe. This warrior protected
Nabal, one of his tribal members who
was very wealthy and owned countless
sheep. It was the time of shearing the
sheep, in other words a very profitable
time of year.
The warrior was responsible for feeding of his men and sent some of his men
to make a humble request. They were
to say: “Long life to you! Good health
to you and your household! And good
health to all that is yours!” They went
on to request that Nabal please give your
servants whatever you can find for them.
Nabal’s answered David’s servants,
“Who is this David? Why should I take
my bread and water, and the meat I
have slaughtered for my shearers, and
give it to meat coming from who knows
where?”
Such a disrespectful response to one
who had not mistreated him, but rather
protected this wealthly man without any
cost to him infuriated David. He thought
that it was his right to take matters
into his own hands. What David really
needed was to calm down and allow God
to handle this.
Paul wrote these words to those in
Rome who were called to be saints: Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought
to do what is honorable in the sight of
all. If possible, so far as it depends on
you, live peaceably with all. Beloved,
never avenge yourselves, but leave it
to the wrath of God, for it is written,
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says
the Lord." To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink; for by so
doing you will heap burning coals on
his head." Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good. [Romans
12:17-21 ESV]
Back to our story, God stopped David in his tracks by having Abigail, the
wife of Nabal, intercede on behalf of her

Pastor Ricky Jacob

foolish husband. Abigail lost no time.
She sent two hundred loaves of bread,
two skins of wine, five dressed sheep,
five bushels of roasted grain, a hundred
cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes
of pressed figs to David and his men.
When Abigail reached David she
bowed down before him with her face to
the ground. She fell at his feet and said,
“My lord, let the blame be on me alone. .
. . May my lord pay no attention to that
wicked man Nabal. He is just like his
name—his name is Fool, and folly goes
with him.” [See 1st Samuel 25]
She continued, “now since the LORD
has kept you, my master, from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with
your own hands, as surely as the LORD
lives and as you live, may your enemies
and all intend to harm my master be
like Nabel. . . Please forgive your servant’s offense.”
David responds, “Praise be to the
LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent
you today to meet me. . . . Go in peace.”
Ten days later the LORD struck Nabal
and he died. The story ends with David
sending for Abigail to become his wife
and she humbly accepts his invitation
to serve him.
We seem so quick to take offense
and become enraged. If we take time to
reflect we would quickly realize that our
Creator should be the One angry with
us. Who will be like Abigail and difuse
our anger?! Thanks be to God for sending Jesus who took our place and took
the full force of God’s righteous wrath
when He suffered and died on the cross.
And now, God sends us forth with these
words, “Go in peace.”
Each Sunday our worship service
ends with a blessing from God. A blessing that none of us deserves. This blessing offers you peace, peace in knowing
that you are forgiven, redeemed by the
blood of Jesus our LORD and Savior!
God’s anger management at its best,
found in His peace!

THE WINNEBAGO HOUSING &
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
FROM THE DESK OF; Dawn Snake,
Office Associate
A new year is upon us, already
looking at February. Down here at the
WHDC offices everyone is diligently
working on bringing all our tenant’s
records up to date. We try hard to help
tenants stay in compliance with the
Lease Agreement that is signed by Head
Of Household on the date of move-ins.
Letters go out for Recertification for
each tenant every two (2) years. That includes adding or removing any persons
living with the tenant. Children are
born, or grow up and move out. Maybe
a marriage occurs or maybe a divorce.
Maybe a tenant got a new job, or lost
one. There are all kinds of situations
that may change and this is one opportunity the WHDC gives you to bring
in your documentation. (any time your
financial situation changes the tenant
is required to inform the WHDC).
We do our best to remain courteous at all times while preforming
our duties and we understand that
everyone works hard to get bills paid,
appointments met and the household
taken care of. Day-to-day life can be
a struggle, but it is our duty to stay
in compliance with H.U.D. as well as
N.A.H.A.S.D.A. regulations, to provide
our service area with safe affordable
housing. So if we have to try to make
contact several times, through letters
and phone calls it’s because we are
required to do so and are trying to help
the tenant stay in compliance.
Under our Program Management &
Occupancy Policy;
Requirements:
14. The WHDC shall verify information provided including earned income
to be verified through employers or
other appropriate forms of obtaining
such information at the time of admission into a program AND upon any
recertification.
15. All Participants shall provide a
release of information form which will
allow the WHDC to verify any and all
information required for a Participant
to participant in the program.
16. Failure for a Participant to provide or allow the WHDC to obtain the

necessary information will prevent the
Participant from participating in a program until such time as the necessary
documentation is provided and can even
cause the Participant to be disqualified.
Under the DWELLING LEASE;
3. Payments due under the lease.
The amount of rent is subject to
change as determined by WHDC in accordance with federal regulations during
the term of the Lease.
Rent for the period beginning_______
is $______.Thereafter, monthly rent in
the amount of $_____, will be due on or
before the first day of each month. Payments made, as rent will be applied to
any outstanding balances, which may
include rent, utilities, maintenance, or
any other balances owed. This shall not
be construed to require acceptance by
the WHDC of rent payments tendered for
a period subsequent to the expiration of
a notice to terminate.
Resident shall make all rental payments in full .Payment or receipt of a
rental payment of less than the amount
stated in the lease shall be deemed to
be nothing more than partial payment of
that month’s account. Under no circumstance shall the WHDC’s acceptance of
a partial payment constitute accord and
satisfaction. Nor will the WHDC’s acceptance of a partial payment forfeit the
WHDC’s right to collect the balance due
on the account, despite any endorsement ,stipulation, or other statement
on any check.
Any modification to this lease must
be made in a letter signed by the WHDC,
in which the WHDC states and agrees
to the modification. The WHDC may
accept any partial payment check with
any conditional endorsement without
prejudice to his/her right to recover the
balance remaining due, or to pursue any
other remedy available under this lease.
If the WHDC files summary ejectment
papers for nonpayment of rent against
the R esident three (3) months in succession, it shall be considered a serious and repeated violation of this lease
agreement, a condition under which the
WHDC may immediately issue a notice
of termination in accordance with Section 12 (B) herein.

Letter to the Editor..
“Murder of the Innocent”
if anyone plants corn seed and it
starts to develop but it is still under
ground, and some one comes along
and digs it up some will say you killed
that plant. It was starting to develop
into a plant. So it was a plant. Germinate a seed to start developing human conception, a conceiving or being
conceived in the womb. Many believe
human life begins at the moment of
conception. When human life begins
they get a soul by God.

members.
The regular monthly meeting is
scheduled for the third (3rd) Wednesday of each month, at 10:00 a.m. at

Rental Payments – Regular monthly
payments are often made with payroll
deductions. If a tenant is behind, a pay
agreement can be agreed upon by the
tenant and the WHDCOccupancy staff.
A reminder to a few tenants: please
maintain the pay schedule. Failure
to maintain this signed agreement
can result in a Notice of Termination.
In order to effect any change in your
monthly rent amount, the tenant must
submit documentation for each time
period in question. For example, termination letter from employer, award
letter from Social Security or any other
assistance program, Unemployment
Compensation.
A sincere Thank You! to the tenants
who cooperated and completed the annual re-certification process over the
past 8 months. We’re hoping for a gold

star from the auditors this year!
Tenant parking in the yard, not on
the driveway. This is a “no-no”. Please
cooperate and avoid this. When the
snow and ice melt, ruts form. It doesn’t
look nice and it’s not easy or inexpensive to fix.
