Volume 53, Number 23

Our masthead for this issue features

honorable veteran Mrs. Genevieve May

Lowry-Johnson / Ahu-co [Bluewing] [1925 –

2011] A Huc-hikikarac [Bear Clan] pioneer

for women in the military, Genevieve enlisted

in the U.S. Navy during the height of World

War II. She completed boot camp training

in the Bronx, New York at Hunter College.

She was assigned to the U.S. Naval Aviation Preparation Depot in Philadelphia, PA.

Serving at that post where she advanced in

rank (SK3/c) until her honorable discharge

in 1946 [Washington D.C.] Maintaining a

lifelong standard for service, Genevieve

stayed active with military service groups

and veterans’ organizations. Elected as the

first female Commander of the LaMere /

Greencrow / Rice American Legion Post in

1954. In 2009 she was honored by Nebraska

Gov. Dave Hineman for her service to the

people of the United States and Nebraska.

Genevieve is a legend among women who

served our nation. A Hochunk hinuk who

bravely met the call of her people. Her story

is one to be told in full in coming issues of

the WIN. We are so very honored to feature

her here. Our deepest gratitude to her family

for their kindness in sharing her story with us

here. There will be more to come.

November 4th the Winnebago Tribe’s

Communications Department teamed up

with WTN Human Resources, Big Fire

Law and Little Priest Tribal College for

a “Get out the Native Vote” walk. The

purpose of this event was to create an

awareness for exercising your right to

vote and the importance of voting for

the Native Community. A meal and rally

speeches took place for about 130 attendees. KCAU Chanel 9 news covered

the event.

November 6th the Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System hosted

a Stir Fry Cook-off. Judges had a blind

taste-testing of 3 categories: Seafood,

Chicken and Beef/Bison. This friendly

competition raised money for the national

diabetes awareness foundation. Winners

for the beef category are 1st: Reggie

Frazier and 2nd: Robin Bear. Seafood

category winners are 1st: Aaron Scott,

2nd: Robin Bear, 3rd: Jean Masquat

and 4th: Deej Redhorn. Winners for the

chicken category are 1st: Aaron Scott,

2nd: Robin Bear, 3rd: Sinya Harlan,

4th: Lilly Snow and 5th: Deej Redhorn.

Winners took home kitchen cookware!

[Winnebago, NE / Veteran’s Memorial

Park] On Monday, November 4th, 2024, the

Winnebago Tribe hosted a Get Out The Native Vote Walk at Veteran’s Memorial Park.

The push was an effort that was planned

to create voter turnout for the General

Election held the following day. Winnebago

Communications Officer, Garan Coons, coordinated the event at the behest of ongoing

discussions around the Tribal Council table.

“There was a real intent to make sure the

people made their voices heard. The timing

was short, but we made it happen.” Coons

told the WIN.

Voter turnout in Winnebago amongst

the tribal membership has been quite hit

or miss. One year, when tribal candidates

were on the ballot, participation was strong.

However, the following cycle, with no tribal

members vying for office, turnout was lackluster at best. Lorelei DeCora, Tribal Council

member, stated openly during Council

meetings and publicly, “We must honor our

veterans, those who fought for our right to

vote by going to exercise that right. We can’t

GWE APPLICATION DEADLINE LOOMS

By Brian Chamberlain

[Winnebago, NE] The application deadline for the 2024 General Welfare Exclusion

payment is Friday, November 15th, 2024.

All adult age tribal members (18 years old

and over) must fill out the application form

in order to receive the payment of these

funds. “If you want this GWE payment,

you must fill out the application form. No

application, no payment. It’s that simple.”,

a Winnebago Tribal Finance staff member

told the WIN.

The Winnebago Tribal Council ap-

proved the distribution of the GWE payment

back on October 7th, 2024. The protocols for

payment were defined at that point, calling

for all adult age tribal members to file an

application to receive the funds. Minors will

have their funds deposited directly into

let them down.” The sentiment on raising tribal member awareness toward the

issues, and about those candidates who took the time to seek tribal votes was

echoed around the table.

their trust account and do not have to file an application.

General Election Day was Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. Besides the major national elections, both US Senate seats were on the ballot as well as US

House seats per usual. Local elections were also being decided with several

candidates running for Winnebago Public School Board. Winnebago Village

Board members were also up for election. Ironically, no listed candidates were

present on the ballot for those empty seats. The ballot measures were also

on the back of the ballot. Two measures on women’s rights, two measures for

marijuana, and one about using tax dollars for private schools. As of press

time, none of the results were available.

Winnebago voters did turn out though, keeping the decisions within the

reach of local candidates. The WIN will report on final results in the next issue.

As for the GOTV Walk, WTN staff told the WIN, “We were very pleased with

the overall turnout. The people showed up, got a t-shirt, something to eat, and

had a good time showing their support.”

The application deadline of November 15th was established to allow the tribal staff

to collect the information from the tribal membership, and then perform the administrative work necessary to effect individual payouts. “There’s really a lot of work that

goes into making this happen. So, the sooner we get the applications, the better.”

Billie Kitcheyan said about the overall GWE payment process recently.

The Tribe also wants to clarify a rumor that is being spread. There is no automatic

payment for any adult age tribal member. All adults must fill out the application form

in order to be paid. Even though paper check distribution dates are set for December,

there will not be a check printed unless the application is completed first. Also, the

deadline for submitting the application is hardline stop at close of business on Friday,

November 15th, 2024. There will be no exceptions to this deadline. Winnebago Tribal

Finance department staff advises all tribal members to get the process completed

well before that deadline.

The application is completed online using DocuSign software. This software is the

same used by the US Government for some of their most sensitive materials. Upon

successful completion of the application, the user will receive a “Thank you.” from

the software denoting successful submission of the application. Garan Coons, Communication Officer for the Tribe told the WIN, “The site is an important place for our

people to complete their applications. It is easy to use, but assistance is available

through the Winnebago Senior Citizen Center for any tribal elders who need help.”

As of print time, just over half our eligible tribal members have completed the

application process. With under two weeks to go, more people need to get the process fully completed. Coons went on, “[t]he S.O.L. date will be here before you know

it. Don’t be one of those people left out. And don’t let your relatives lose out either.

Reach out to the tribe or the administration for help if you need it. We’re here to help

everyone get this payment.”

All adult age tribal members must fill out the application form to receive these funds.

No check will be printed, no funds will be paid out to you, unless you complete the

application. DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15th, 2024, close of business day.

Letter to the Editor

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

In loving memory....

Jacob Tebo

Our beloved son, brother, dear

friend, and incredible human, Jacob Michael Tebo, “walked on”

from this life on October 9th, 2024.

Born on March 18th, 1996, Jacob was,

and continues to be, a gift to our family.

Jacob was first and foremost, cute as a

button, and he was curious, profound,

wicked smart, creative, hard working,

and the sweetest, kindest, and most

gentle person you could ever hope

to meet. He was a true outdoorsman,

who loved nature, especially the water,

mountains, duck hunting, and fishing.

He never met a fish he didn’t like, but

cobia season was his absolute favorite.

Jacob, a member of the Winnebago

Tribe of Nebraska, spent most of his

early life living overseas where he

cultivated a love of adventure, playing , and enjoying new foods - with

Thai food being at the top of his list.

Jacob made his home in the Northern

Neck area of Virginia to be close to

the water that he loved so much. Jacob enjoyed working with his hands,

and seeing the results of his work.

As a talented and competent tradesman, Jacob worked for several years

in pool maintenance before taking

over the company himself, creating

Tebo Time Pools, LLC. Jacob was

a trusted and much loved member

of the Northern Neck Community.

To know Jacob was to love him,

and although we miss him deeply, his journey does not end here.

“Our Citizenship is in heaven”

‘For, as I have often told you before and

now say again even with tears, many live as

enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny

is destruction, their god is their stomach,

and their glory is in their shame. Their mind

is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in

heaven’ [Philippians 3:18-20a NIV].

There are those who place their faith in

Jesus and His sacrificial death on the cross,

where he paid for the sins of one and all. And

then there are those who are enemies of the

cross of Christ. Such enemies of Christ also

despise and hate, ridicule and slander his

followers.

Those who place their faith, their trust,

their hope in Jesus and his saving work do

not have our minds on earthly things. Humbly, we acknowledge Jesus’ apparent defeat

on the cross. But we also have faith that on

the third day Jesus rose victoriously from the

grave. On that first Easter Jesus danced the

dance of victory!

Those who place their faith in Jesus follow

him as their head man dancer. Our minds

are now on the things above. Our citizenship

is in heaven.

This citizenship in heaven is quite different from our citizenship in the United States

of America. Our citizenship in America has

come a long way from the founding of this

nation.

The nation of the United States of America

began with the Declaration of Independence. For a time not everyone living in

America had the same rights as stated at

the start of this document.

The Declaration of Independence begins:

‘We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all men are created equal, that they

are endowed by their Creator with certain

unalienable rights, that among these are

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ An

unalienable right is one that no one should

deny since it was given by one’s Creator.

A declaration is one thing - reality is another. Slaves were not considered equal and

were not counted as equal in the population

By: Pastor Ricky Jacob

counts. For every five slaves - three would

be counted. Slaves gained their freedom

in 1863 with the 13th Amendment to the

Constitution.

The right for women to vote was not given

to them until 1920 with the 19th Amendment.

And in the 1924 Citizen Act - Native

Americans were finally recognized as citizens of the United States. In this land, they

can claim dual citizenship in their nation

within a nation.

We have come a long way - and yet - and

yet though we are endowed by our Creator

with certain unalienable rights - including

life - not all life is protected. The lives of

some are protected - including the life of a

mother, but not necessarily the life that she

carries within her. That life can be brutally

ended and over a million of such lives each

year end before his or her first breath.

As citizens of the United States - we have

rights - and with these rights come the responsibility to do our duty - even if there are

those in our country who do not do their duty

- their God-given duty! Our duty is to speak

up for the unalienable, God-given rights of

life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for

one and for all.

Unlike the words of the Declaration of

Independence which said one thing and in

reality was not true - those who believe in Jesus are assured of these unalienable rights

in heaven. In heaven believers in Jesus

Christ will live forever with liberty - having

been freed from sin and its consequences.

Furthermore - believers in Jesus will no

longer seek the pursuit of happiness - we

will have it!

Believers in Christ Jesus will be gathered

from every tribe, including those who speak

whatever language, as well as those from

every nation and together they will have

life - everlasting life with their Creator, along

with His Son their Redeemer and His Spirit!

Our citizenship is in heaven with our

Creator, His Son our Lord and Savior, along

with His Holy Spirit!

Question of the Issue:

CLAPBACK TIME! You took them on your long road trip,

but which one song best represents that artist/group you’re

listening to? If someone didn’t know anything about them,

which song captures them best?

Garan: Too easy! Take a listen to Dru Hill’s, “You Are Everything”. The combination of singing and the beats...perfection!

Brian: I said it’s like choosing stars from the sky! Depeche Mode has a +40-

year career with a discography that is immense and their growth as musicians

and artists... Ugh!! … Forgive me, gents. I’m throwing nothing away, but I’m

going to go with… “Stripped” from Black Celebration. The lyric “… let me see

you make decisions, without your television. Let me hear you speaking just for

me…” captures them perfectly. IYKYK! #DM4EVER

Tyler: This is kinda hard to say! In my opinion Drake is not an artist you can

pin to one song. I'm gonna have to just show you all the albums lol [Editor’s

Note: Nope! Pick the star from the sky.]

Kevin: This was a hard one for me, I had to think about this one for a couple

days. I mean to try and pick out the best song to express who the man is,

“Prince”? I mean his music can send you in different emotional directions,

depending on the mood you want to set. And then BAM! it just came to me

in an instant - sitting in the office, talking with the editor of the WIN. It is most

definitely “Purple Rain” by Prince. Purple Rain is one of his most prominent

songs. When I think back about it, all the cruising on the back roads with your

soon-to-be snag, just throw on some Purple Rain and enjoy the evening.

Christina: I take back my previous choice. I have to go with my longtime

favorite, the Queen, Mariah Carey, the younger Mariah with her fresh vocals,

I tend to always join her in the “studio” when I’m in the car. But to narrow down

to one song is most difficult, but I’m going to go with “Vision of Love” it captures all of her unique vocals and is one of the classics.

Bethani: Even with advanced notice, I still struggled with picking ONE star

from the sky! My band was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, so narrowing

down to one song was difficult. DRUM ROLL PLEASE! I'll have to go with

“Runnin' Down a Dream”. From the instrumentals, to vocals, to the lyrics, & of

course Mike Campbells guitar solo, it is an absolute classic!!

STORYTELLERS:

Gordon Rave

The Winnebago Indian News sat down recently with a special tribal member, Gordon

Rave. Gordon serves as the Commander for

the Winnebago Veteran’s Association, and

he is also the Veteran’s Service Officer (VSO)

for the Winnebago Tribe. Gordon agreed to

speak with the Winnebago Indian News in

light of our special issue we are running for

the 2024 Veteran’s Day Holiday. Gordon is

himself a veteran, of course, and he shared

some of his experiences with us. Those stories are lively and authentic. We are honored

to hear them and share some of them with

you here. Gordon also includes some of his

current activities as WVA Commander – a

post he takes seriously and holds with pride

and honor.

The WIN will employ a standard verbatim

dialogue throughout this printed interview to

preserve as much as possible the original intent and context of our discussion. However,

some editing has been done for clarity. The

original transcript remains in the WIN’s possession. Gordon’s appearance in the WIN is

entirely voluntary and his perspectives are

his. So, please enjoy this conversation as it

is meant to describe his points of view on the

life he has, and the experiences he’s lived.

We are so glad he openly shared them with

us. The WIN appreciates his ability to openup and share so much of his story with us.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please allow me to

introduce our second Storyteller, exclusively

in this issue of the Winnebago Indian News:

Mr. Gordon Rave – in his own words.

WIN (W) - Please introduce yourself.

Gordon R. (G) - First, my name’s Gordon

Rave and I’m the Veterans’ Service Officer

for the Winnebago Tribe. I work closely with

the Veterans Affairs Office in Lincoln, NE.

They oversee what I do. I also work with

Thurston County Veterans Services Officer,

Penny Warren. My job is to assist Veterans

in claims for medical reasons. A veteran who

went to war, or [non-combat] if they have

[various infirmities] we can help them get

claims for that. It helps them out.

I served active duty in Fort Benning,

Georgia. I went to Airborne school in Fort

Benning, Georgia. I went to Air Assault

School in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I did a

year there and then I came back and got into

the National Guard. I did ten years with the

National Guard. Altogether I did 16 years in

the service.

(W) What was your main motivation for

enlisting?

(G) Leonard Zach! (laughs). Leonard was

the one that got me into it. He was an Army

veteran, and he was in the National Guard.

So, when I got in I started off in the National

Guard. After basic just before we graduated

there’s a bunch of Airborne guys sitting there

at a table, and they had their maroon berets

on, dressed sharp, and I signed my name

on the list not thinking of what I did. (laughs)

After I graduated from basic, they handed

me orders saying I was active duty. And

then I ended up coming home anyway to

straighten things out. They gave me a year

to do it. Within that year I went to Haskell.

I spent one year down at Haskell and that

next summer I was back on a plane back to

Georgia on active duty.

(W) So, you jumped from the planes?

(G) Yes!

(W) Did you ever get used to it?

(G) It’s a good excitement. From Fort

Benning to Fort Campbell as a repel student

I repelled out of helicopters. A lot of walls

and stuff. I enjoyed that training. When you

graduate you get your jump wings. When

you graduate from air assault school, they

give you wings with a little helicopter on it.

I’m authorized to wear both of them. I seldom

wear either, but it’s nice to have. I completed the training, which takes a pretty strong

person to do it. Everybody can make it, just

have to have the discipline to do it.

(W) Can’t imagine the anxiety the first

time.

(G) The first jump I wasn’t scared. I

wasn’t. It was the second jump! Because I

knew what was going to happen. (laughs)

The turning of your stomach and the excitement. It hits you all at once and when you’re

getting to the door, and your hand and the

static line to the jump master and all the

butterflies… the first one didn’t have the

butterflies because you didn’t understand

what was going to happen. And you get to

the door, and you jump out. But the second

time you feel all the anxiety and nervous

and then jump out! (laughs) The third one

was a little easier (laughs) … but it was the

second one for me.

(W) [on other Airborne veterans]

(G) One of them, Mark Aldrich, he was

a jump master. He did a lot of jumps. He

was with the 82nd Airborne, so he did a lot

of jumps with them. A jump master is an instructor of teaching people how to jump. He

was a Sergeant in charge of them. He had

more jumps. You can have 80 to 100 jumps

or even more. You could be a Senior Jump

Master with more.

(W) [on being overseas]

(G) I went to Germany. I wasn’t there very

long. I went there as we call it ‘reforger’ back

then. I don’t know what they call it now. Most

of those old guys would say, oh you’re a 30day wonder. I was there a little bit longer than

30 days. We were there for training. I liked it.

I learned a few German words. About

counting money and stuff. Herman Brown

was around he’d always talk German to me,

and I think I remember hearing that word

once (laughs). But Herman was fluent in

German. He could speak German like English and Hochunk too. He was a versatile

person like that.

It’s a really pretty country, from what I

seen. We was always on the base and would

drive trucks to places. But the little parts I

seen, it was nice. I would have liked to go

back [some time]. The people were really

nice. And once they found out I was native,

they had a lot of questions, and they treated

me really good.

(W) [discussion on Germany and its

people]

(G) They [German citizens] had so many

questions that they’d ask you. The way they

present the questions and the way they talk

to you. They’re excited to see what you had

to say and what you do. They treat you really

nice over there.

We had one powwow where two bus

loads, people from Germany came [here].

They were talking to Leonard. And I said,

“I know someone who could help us out.”

And Leonard said, “where’s Herman at?” He

[Herman] was walking around with a video

camera. And we got him, he comes over and

this guy said something to Herman, said it

in German. Herman turned around and said

something right back. That guy looked at

Herman and he said, “You understand what

I said? And Herman rambled off something

else in German and they [all] just kind of

surrounded him and was throwing questions

at him in German! (laughs)

He [Herman Brown] ended up taking

them around the powwow grounds and telling them what was going on. They enjoyed

themselves with his company and he was

explaining the tradition to them. After the

powwow was over Herman said, thanks

for doing that. I said, “What do you mean?

(laughs) [Herman replies] You just kind of

pushed me in there! (laughs) I was like, well

you’re the only person I could think of who

understands. (laughs)

(W) [about his Germany era]

(G) We was there in 1985. Maybe 84. I

say we because I knew Garrett [Walker] was

over there. Thunder [Walker] was over there.

Joey Bigbear. Tony Provost. Tyler McKeegan. I think Tyler was over there. And I was.

So, we were all over there, but never seen

each other. We were on all different bases. It

was kinda nice to know that they were there.

I’m sure there were more [in Germany] but

I think Charlie [Aldrich] and Scott [Aldrich]

were there too, but I’m not sure. It’s kind of

a main thing to be sent over there.

The Marines go to Okinawa and Japan.

They kind of got their own places, but so

does the Army. Every Army guy would go to

Germany and every Marine would end up in

Okinawa. (laughs).

(W) [ on Cold War Germany]

(G) When we were there, it was separated, and you had to watch what you were

doing. You could get shot. When we went

somewhere we had live ammo. You never

knew what was going to happen. A bombing

could happen, people shooting at you when

you’re driving down on a convoy. Skirmishes

would [happen].

(W) [on being recruited]

(G) I was a junior in High School and it

was a guard thing for the day. They took us to

Camp Dodge in Iowa. I was there with about

50 other high school kids from Sioux City

and the surrounding area. We got to shoot

weapons and learn how to do an obstacle

course. We would repel. Just get to learn to

do stuff that services guys did. They even

had little booths like first aid and how to look

at a map. They just had little stations all over.

And after that weekend was over Leonard

said, what do you think? And I said, it sounds

like something I could do. Probably a couple

months later I went back up there and said

yeah, I’ll join up.

Right after my junior year I left for basic

training. After my senior year I went back for

my advanced training. I was there. It was

about a week after my junior year. I think

I missed about a week of school. Jumped

back in. I played soldier on the weekend

and did school. I was government property

after that! (laughs) I wouldn’t change it for

[anything].

(W) [on being involved with the Winneba-

go Veteran’s Association]

(G) [It was] Leonard! (laughs) He was

the Vice-Commander, the Treasurer, the

Secretary. At one point, Matt Cleveland,

Sr. was the Commander. Gerben Earth

was Vice-Commander. Leonard was the

Secretary and Charles Lonewolf was the

Treasurer. But they only had 8 people. To this

day we’re still a small group. We got a lot of

younger veterans that we’ve been trying to

recruit to come and help us, especially at a

funeral. We do the 24-hour watch. We try to

get the younger guys to sit. Some of the older

guys are willing to do it because that’s a part

of tradition. If you want to be involved, just

get ahold of [Gordon]. There are no active

female members.

(W) [on building a veteran’s memorial

area and Sgt. John Rice]

(G) We were talking about it. The veterans

were talking about it during the powwow.

Putting something out to the powwow

grounds. A statue or putting the names of

the Winnebago service people; the ones

who fought in conflicts. I went to one up in

Minnesota for John Rice. They have a post

up there.

Me and Lucy went to the [area] for John

Rice. They have a nice presentation for

him. You can read his bio. And people have

questions about why that happened to him. I

said, “I have no clue. That’s just how people

were back then. Sioux City, Iowa got a black

eye from that. [WIN – it’s still there!]

For the President to have to step in and

what it caused for that city. [The President]

He said, he died for our country, put him

in my cemetery. That great honor that the

President gave just to move him into Arlington. That was something. We went to

visit his grave. Put out tobacco and it was

a great honor.

(W) [on history of veterans within the tribe]

(G) We have a lot of veterans that have

good stories. I wish we could have recorded

Jim Snow, because he had so many. He

could tell a story and just capture your attention. He had so many of them. [WIN – and

they were true life experiences]

Talking to the older veteran guys that are

long gone now, Matt Cleveland Sr., would tell

a real good story of what he went through.

Gerben [Earth] would kinda not say too

much. Louie Houghton would tell me a little

bit of things, but he kind of stopped after

some. Jim [Snow] would tell you a whole

lot. Jack LaMere, I was visiting him yesterday and he was telling me stories. It’s good

for these younger people to sit down with

those older veterans and listen to what they

have to say. Their stories are so, they’ll just

capture your attention. And you just sit there

and listen to them. They’ll tell you a whole

lot of things that happened in their younger

years. And it helps out. It helps them bring it

out and it helps the younger kid understand

what life was like back then. And they come

out with some good stories.

(W) [Living veterans from eras]

(G) World War II – there are none. Korea –

Emma LaMere, she was in Korea. Vietnam –

there’s only a handful [remaining]. Cold War

Era, there’s still quite a few, Desert Storm and

Afghanistan – there’s still many. But they all

have stories too.

The last WWII veteran I talked to was

Emmett McGhee. I talked to him a little bit

because he was there. And there was Hollis

Stabler. I spoke to him when he was out to

Terry St. Cyr’s. [with Winona] when they lived

out by the Four Corners. I went out there for

something, I sat down, and he was talking to

me and was telling me stories and a couple

of hours went by. It was just him and I sitting

out there. Then Terry and Winona showed

up and there’s a cop car sitting out there!

(laughs). What’s going on?! We were just

sitting there, talking away. He was telling me

all these stories. I just keep in mind what he

told me. He was telling me about what he

seen. It was interesting.

I got to meet a lot of older veterans and

listen to what they said because it was

something they maybe told other people.

Or maybe they didn’t tell other people.

Some of the older guys I know, if you weren’t

in the military and you didn’t see certain

things, they wouldn’t talk to you. If you never

ducked a bullet they wouldn’t explain it. They

wouldn’t tell you what it was like. They would

just kinda stop. You didn’t do your time, so

I’m not going to tell you. Once you understand that they know you were in the service

and did a whole lot of things, they’d bring

out that feeling and let you hear their story.

That’s how I probably got along with a lot of

them, just sit down and listen to them. Enjoy

what they were saying. Because during that

time they could have been taken off from this

Earth. Some of them got injured while they

were in the service. They still came home but

there was a lot of things that went on during

that time. Them telling me was interesting.

And I had a lot of questions.

(W) [on being a veteran]

(G) When you raise your right hand and you take the oath, you’re telling them you’ll lay

your life down. No worries, no gripes, no complaints. Your job is to defend the United States.

If it comes down to giving your life, that’s what you do.

(W) [Asked about the upcoming event in California.]

(G) The US Coast Guard, Petty Officer Red Horse. He contacted me and wanted to know

if the Winnebago Veteran’s Association would assist them in bringing in colors. So, I asked

him what it was about, and he said it was for National Native American Heritage Month. The

Coast Guard is putting on a presentation. They want some speakers there. There will be

other tribal members there from all over. Other California tribes will be there. We’re getting

things rolling so we can go. We’re going to be presenting colors. They’ve already told me

about their parade field – it’s a really big parade field. They said they wanted people, if

they can, to be in regalia. They asked if we had princesses who wanted to go out there.

Funding-wise, California is a long way out there.

(W) Where is this event?

(G) In San Pueblo. It’s just south of L.A. It’s a Coast Guard base. The Petty Officer sent

the agenda saying they wanted to serve us breakfast. We would walk around the base and

look at everything. Do the presentation. Then have lunch. Then they want to take us on a ship

and go across the harbor. They said that if no one wants to go ride on a ship they don’t have

to. But they want to take us on the harbor and take us to another part of the Coast Guard

[areas]. They’d want us to do the same thing as the day before, present colors, etcetera.

All the veterans that are going are those who help out all the time. Like funerals for

veterans, carrying flags for powwows. So, all those who help out all the time, we wanted

to reward them for helping.

(W) Is this the first time for the event?

(G) No. They do it every year. But it is the first time for the Winnebago Veterans to go.

They contacted me and I let the Omaha tribe know too. But I don’t know if they’re going to go.

They got quite a few members who participate in things. Their Commander, Andy Merrick and Greg Phillips, they’re the two that control what they do. I told Greg about it, and

he said they might be going too, which would be nice. Because the native tribes out in

California and up the coast [they attend], they had people from Pine Ridge go once, but

no one passed that [East of] - except us now. So, they’re trying to get native organizations

to help out. It’s on the 18th of November.

(W) [on Veteran’s Powwow 2024]

(G) The event is coming up. [November 9th, 2024] The Women’s Auxiliary will be cooking.

There will be a newly crowned Veteran’s Powwow Princess this year too. My granddaughter

will be giving up her crown, but she’s had it for two years. She was happy to wear it. We

didn’t have the powwow last year due to the funerals. I hope everyone can come down to

the [Whirling Thunder Wellness] gym and join us.

(WIN) Thank you, Gordon for coming up and speaking with us. We quite enjoyed our

discussion. Come back anytime.

Good luck out in California later this month as you continue to represent our Winnebago

people. The tribe will look forward to the Veteran’s Powwow at the Whirling Thunder Wellness

Gym on Saturday, November 9th, 2024. You can find more information about the powwow

Little Priest: The Last of the Breed

By David (Tim) Smith, M.A.

I’d like to dedicate this story to all our veterans, past and present. From the Algonquin

Wars of the 1620’s with the Potowatomies.

To the war on Terror in Afghanistan. If it

wasn’t for our veterans, we would cease to

exist as a people. Winnebago people tend

to forget that today. This is not a celebration

of contests and giveaways, but a celebration in honor of the last true war-chief of the

Ho-Chunk people. The blood that he spilled

in 1866, is the reason we are still on the

reservation today.

Little Priest (Hoonk-Hoo-No-Kaw) was the

son of Mor-ah-tshay-kaw (the traveler). His

father was also known as Little Priest and

was a village chief at Lake Koshkonong in

Wisconsin in 1829. Hoonk-Hoo-No-Kaw was

born and raised at the Koshkonong village

and became war-chief in 1844, when the HoChunks were residents of the Neutral Ground

in Northeast Iowa (1840-46). He signed the

treaties of 1846-1855.

In 1862, Little Priest, Hounka (Winneshiek’s son), and a dozen others were at

the Lower Sioux Agency when the Santee

Outbreak started. They joined the Santee-Dakota when they attacked the American settlement at New Ulm. After the battle,

the small force returned to their Blue Earth

settlement. Since Little Priest was war-chief,

he tried to enlist Ho-Chunk warriors in the

war. He even organized a soldier’s lodge

and held meetings concerning America’s

wrongs and abuses they inflicted on HoChunk people. He did his best to arouse their

fighting spirits. But the older chiefs, such as

Waukon-Ha Ga, Good Thunder, La Sallier,

Good Heart, Four Cloud, Yellow Bank and

Little Decorah wanted peace and since Little

Priest respected the wisdom of his elders,

war was called off.

This was a big disappointment for the

Santee-Dakota, because if the Ho-Chunks

were at their side, they could of captured

Fort Ridgley and the town of New Ulm. Resentment soon broke out between the two

groups. And this resentment and hatred

ripened into open hostility between 186367. In 1863, the Ho-Chunks were moved to

their new reservation at Crow Creek, South

Dakota. After seeing some of their people

die from starvation, Little Priest and his band,

and Winnesheik and his group escaped

down the Missouri to the Omaha Reservation

in Northeast Nebraska.

In the summer of 1863, Chief’ Little Priest

and 46 other warriors enlisted in a Nebraska

Cavalry Regiment and fought with General

Alfred Sully against the Teton-Lakota at the

Battle of Heart River in North Dakota. This

Ho-Chunk contingent continued westward

with General Sully, when he marched to the

region of the Yellow Stone in late 1863.

In August of 1864. Chief Little Priest’s

Company of Winnebago Scouts were placed

under Captain Christian Stuff, an able cavalry leader out of Fort Omaha Nebraska. On

August 10, Little Priest and his Scouts led

the charge against the Miniconjou Lakota at

the Killdeer Mountains in North Dakota. Five

days later on August 15, they battled bands

of the Tetonwan and Northern Cheyenne

at the Battle of the Little Missouri River in

Eastern Montana.

By late fall of 1864, 22 more Ho-Chunk

warriors enlisted in Company C, and 24 in

Company D, of Fort Omaha’s, Nebraska

Veterans Battalion and joined their War

Chief when he fought the Tetonwan, Ihanktoneanna and Wehpetonwan bands of Sioux

at Whitestone Hill, North Dakota. While Little

Priest was away that fall. Other Ho-Chunk

warriors joined the Omaha and stopped

the Miniconjou and Sicanga at the Battle of

Homer Hills (Present day, Beer Can Hill).

These same warriors also had a running

battle with the Miniconjou near Mondamin,

Iowa. According to tribal legends, the lake

north of Mondamin ran red with the blood of

the Sioux. Ho-Chunk, and Omaha warriors.

Chief Little Priest returned home in

December and led the charge. Then the

Ho-Chunks fought the Oglala and Miniconjou Lakota near the site of present-day

Winnebago on January 5. After regrouping,

the same Lakota bands met Chief Little at the

battle of Winnebago Hills, one mile west of

the present town of Winnebago. After spending a cold winter in South Dakota, bands of

Oglala and Miniconjou fought a revenge

with Chief Little Priest at Honey Creek on

the Missouri River. Fifteen days later on May

15, Chief Little Priest annihilated a war party

of Tetonwan Lakota near George Snake’s

old residence near the Winnebago/Omaha

southern reservation border. Arrowheads

are still found at the battle site. By the end

of Spring 1865, the buffer zone between

the Omahas and various Sioux bands was

established. And Sioux raids into Omaha

territory came to a stop.

The Sioux at this time began to consider

Chief Little Priest “Big Medicine”. Because

he always accepted death every time, they

encountered him and his warriors. After the

fight near the site of George Snake’s, Little

Priest, his son John Priest, his brother Grey

Wolf and about 70 other Winnebagoes enlisted in Company “A”, of’ the Fort Omaha

Scouts at Decatur, Nebraska. Little Priest

remarked, “that it hurt him deep in his heart

to fight his own brothers, but he wanted to

bring peace to his people, because he did

not want to move again.

At Fort Omaha, the Scouts were issued

uniforms, guns, ammunition, horses and

provisions. Then they proceeded westward, through Fort Kearney, Julesburg,

Fort Laramie, Wyoming, to a part known

as Deer Creek. From there they went north

into Montana where they encountered Red

Cloud’s band of Oglala Lakota, with some

Northern Cheyenne, Northern Arapohoes,

and Itazipco Lakota. This battle was known

as the Battle of Tongue River. Chief Little

Priest again distinguished himself in battle

and was wounded in the leg while leading

a charge against the enemy.

After this battle, the Ho-Chunks acted

as an escort to an emigrant band of 35

wagons on their way to San Francisco.

They accompanied this train as far west

as the Big Horn Mountains. Returning from

this expedition they were stationed at Fort

Tyndall on the Power River. Then came the

skirmish on the Power River, the day Chief

Little Priest’s medicine ran out. While out

looking for horses, Little Priest and the others

encountered a band of Tetonwan, probably

Oglala Lakota. A fire fight began whereas

Chief Little Priest became separated from

his companions, which consisted of his sons,

John Priest, Walking Priest, and James Bird.

The Lakota remember that day clearly for

they have a song sung in honor of Ho-Chunk

Chief Little Priest. After becoming separated,

Little Priest fled to some boulders with the

Lakota in hot pursuit. After his horse was

shot out from under him, he stood between

two huge rocks and fought the enemy for

hours. Little Priest was shot four times, one

through the body, one above the right lung,

and two in the left shoulder. Even with all

those wounds, Chief Little Priest managed

to kill nine Lakota warriors including their war

chief and wounded many others.

The Lakota claim in their song that he

changed himself into a “Grizzly Bear”, and

stood his ground as a Grizzly Bear would.

White people would say this was impossible,

but not to Indian people who know about Indian Medicine. Little Priest was carried back

to the fort with his trophies, which consisted

of the war chiefs’ horse, his rifle, shield, and

his bear skin, all big medicine. When his

warriors reached the fort, they performed

the Grizzly Bear dance to heal his wounds.

After recovering somewhat, his Ho-Chunk

warriors brought him home to the reservation

where he died of his wounds on September

12, 1866. His remains were buried in a small

mound in the Winnebago area. His brother,

now Chief Grey Wolf called a council of

all the clans down at the Big Bear Hollow

council house and proposed a celebration

in honor of his death. Besides honoring

their great War Chief. They also honored

all veterans of Company A, Omaha Scouts,

Nebraska Volunteers.

Many veterans have since followed the

road that Chief Little Priest walked at death.

And they should not be forgotten. These

veterans should be honored with traditional

song and dance, not all contests and giveaways or else we will lose the real meaning

of Chief Little Priest’s death.
