WINNEBAGO, NE – The month of April is
known as Child Abuse Awareness month. The
Winnebago belief that “children are sacred” is
a belief amongst many other Native American
communities. Recently a BIA report on the
Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative
Investigative report, marked that on June 22,
2021, the secretary of interior Deb Haaland
directed the Department of Interior to undergo
an investigation of the loss of human life, and
the lasting consequences of the federal Indian
boarding school system.
The WIN met with the Winnebago Human
Services Department to discuss how they see
the effects of intergenerational trauma in the
community, and how they are re-connecting
families with the Winnebago culture.

member of the Winnebago tribe, but has lived

Bear Park and the surrounding Riv

there was lunch provided. Thanks
to those who took the time to
help keep our environment clean

on the Rosebud reservation throughout his life.
Petite shares, “I learned a lot about Rosebud’s
culture, traditions, and customs. But I’m glad to
be in my community. Where I’m enrolled, I’m
glad to learn about Hochunk culture, our history,
and how we ended up here. I ask myself, what
can we take from that as a community, to keep
us alive.”
The Human Services Department has firsthand insight on the issues we face as a community.
Petite said, “the work we do causes a lot of stress,
anxiety, and bad feelings in families. The history
of what happened in the boarding schools, all of
those issues come from our traumatic history.
Prior to colonization, our native communities
had a learning system that taught our youth
how to survive on their own. We used to have a
training system, we taught our children, but now
our school districts oversee that. They prepare
them to be adults in this world.” The one teaching
that remains prevalent in our community today is
the clan and kinship system. Whichever clan you
belonged to, you were to carry out those duties
and responsibilities. Petite adds “if everyone
wasn’t working together, we would suffer.”

Prior to her role at Human Services, Walker has
been an actively facilitating classes with Winnebago
tribal court as the victim witness coordinator. She
says “in 2010 I seen that we had a need for domestic
violence education programs. We didn’t have that at
the time. I seen all these people and I wanted there
to be a place to send them.” Currently she facilitates
the classes with the Preserve a Native - Families Unit.
The following are programs she hosts, Fatherhood/
Motherhood is Sacred, Linking Generations by
Strengthening Relationships, Addressing Family
Violence & Abuse, Women’s Turning Point, and
the Men’s Re-education. Individual sessions are
available virtually.
Culture and spirituality has been at the forefront
of each program, prior to the pandemic classes were
held in person and Walker would start the classes
off by a prayer and smudging with sweetgrass.
She shares “we also would provide them with a
shell and sweetgrass to take home. Then we would

On May 19th Twelve Clans Unity
Hospital, WPHD & WCHS held their
2022 Womens Health Fair to celebrate
the month of May being Womens
Health Month! The fair was full of
information regarding different areas
of the body to educate women on
what steps they can take to improve
their health or know the diverse types
of signs. Thank you to those who
helped put this event together or were
present to educate our people!
Also, on May 19th WTN’s Higher
Education Department hosted their
Summer Youth Program interviews!
Various departments from the tribe
were present and got the chance to
interview students from 8th to 11th
grade! Good luck to our students
with their learning experiences,
what an effective way to spend the
summer!
WINNEBAGO, NE – The Winnebago
Wildlife & Parks’ mission is to protect
wildlife for past, present, and future
generations of the Winnebago people, and
to have a positive impact on the quality of
life and health of our people.
Jewel Parker (turtle clan), is a Winnebago
tribal member, and is the daughter of
Ramona Sheridan and Justin Parker.
Currently she is director and conservation
officer of Winnebago Wildlife and Parks.
After attending the U.S. Indian Police
Academy in Artesia, New Mexico she worked
with the Winnebago Police Department for
2 months for field training. That includes
being shadowed by a current officer, and all
tasks include everything from learning to
use the radio, and other technical training.

continue to do that.”
Nona Bearskin-Buffalocalf – Cultural Family
Support – is the daughter of Benjamin John
Bearskin sr. and Hapgumaniwiga. Nona
works closely with the children in foster
homes. Children who are in Iowa placements
often request information pertaining to
their clans or their family tree. For younger
children she provides them with a Hochunk
Renaissance coloring book and beading kit,
and Facetiming with them often. In the last year
the culture committee was formed, and Nona
was challenged with providing ribbon skirts
for their department (32 ribbon skirts, and 3
ribbon shirts). Reflecting on her experience,
she said “the project was overwhelming, but my
mom used to say that when you do something
it has to be with a good thought in mind.” Petite
is optimistic about the effort his team puts into
the work they do with families. He said, “I’m
excited to be apart of this team, and I think we
have everything right here in our department
to do good things. Nona, Candace, Angie, and
Selena.”
So how does historical trauma and the
boarding school era affect us today? When
you think about the issues native American
communities face today, we lead the nation
in domestic violence, substance abuse, child
abuse, suicide, etc. Petite shares, “when you
work in law enforcement, health care, and
child protective services. You see the bad parts
of our communities. We look at reports and we
lead the nation in all of these issues. It can be
disheartening, but we always have our culture
to lean on.”
The effects of the Indian boarding school era
are still felt today. Petite shared that “when you
look at federal policies and treaties. The treaties
were all about peace. When the colonizers
came here, they didn’t understand us, because
depar tment is at the front lines in
combatting a lot of our issues, helping
families/individuals who face hardships.
The work is not easy, but they are taking the
effort in looking at our history and driving
awareness to cultural aspects and providing
the tools individuals need to help themselves
live a healthier and more meaningful life.
Addressing issues through reconnecting
them back to their culture. In order to heal
from historical trauma, we must face our
issues to gain an understanding on who
we really are, finding and making that
connection to honor our ancestors for the
loss they faced.
we lived so different from them. I’ve seen
a document that said, their children are so
well behaved, and they were amazed from
their perspective.” Human services always
promote good behavior and working to
create peace within the community. “Often
times those systems are flawed. But we must
work together and get along to survive.”
Focusing on the healing of a generation,
we can put effort in raising awareness to
our youth. Walker shared “there are a lot of
things we want to do for our youth, but we
need to plan it so it’s structured, we need to
have an understanding and to be consistent.
They will know where they belong, and
to understand all that our ancestors went
through. You have to learn both worlds.
There was a lady who spoke at a youth
ceremony in South Dakota, what she said
to the kids was; it’s coming to your time.
Where you’re going to have to pick all of
this up.”
Many of our teachings are how our
people learned to conduct themselves as
adults. Bearskin-Buffalocalf shared with
us that “it’s like a bird. You have that little
bird and you push it out, and they either
fly or die. So sometimes when I share that,
I get laughed at. But the birds teach them
everything they need to know to survive.
Up to that point when they’re going to push
them off, then everything after that is their
own personal choice. We need to teach our
children to be kind, to have self-love, and to
have inner peace. We have to teach them to
be respectful, and we need to teach them at
home.” Petite added “when we were raised,
everybody would correct us and say; don’t
be doing that, you’ll bring shame to our
family. That was always told to us.”

Here’s Your Horoscope For June 2022
COURTESY OF: BUSTLE.COM
This June, your focus will be on getting
out and enjoying the summer sun without
letting reality checks strip away your
optimism. Mercury retrograde will end
in Taurus on June 3, starting the month
off with serious, practical vibes. Revisit
any unrefined plans, written work, or
ideas you had last month, and be on
the lookout for missing or unspecified
details during the planet’s post-retrograde
shadow period. On June 4, Saturn — the
planet of discipline and responsibility
— will begin its retrograde in eccentric
Aquarius. Assess whether you’ve been
meeting the responsibilities of adulthood
while maintaining your joyful spirit.
Mercury will return to its rulership
sign, curious Gemini, on June 13, making
it easier to express yourself clearly
and ask questions with confidence.
The information you’ve acquired this
Volu m e
month will shift your perspective when
the free-spirited full moon in Sagittarius
illuminates the sky on June 14. Keep your
eye on the bigger picture, and remember
that you get to choose the thoughts that
create your reality. The Sun will illuminate
sensitive Cancer on June 21 — the same
day as the summer solstice — marking the
beginning of an affectionate, tender, and
personal season.
If your social life hasn’t picked up yet,
it certainly will once Venus moves into
charming Gemini on June 22, bringing
a lighthearted energy that will kick off
a summer of fun. However, prepare for
deep reality checks and tests of faith
once Neptune begins its retrograde in
its rulership sign Pisces on June 28. On
this same day, the new moon in Cancer
will initiate an emotional last few days of
the month. Expect opportunities to form

When the Spirit of Truth comes
Written by: Pastor Ricky Jacobs
Where is Jesus now? Our preschool children will say
that Jesus rose from the dead and that he is not here.
If pressed they will say, as they have learned by saying
the Apostles' Creed, that Jesus ascended into heaven.
So Jesus is in heaven is the proper answer.
And yet it would also be proper or correct to say that
Jesus is everywhere and therefore he is with us here
and now! Jesus said that he would be with us always,
until the end of the age. But not in the physical sense.
Let me ask you another question: Why in the
world did Jesus have to leave? I do not think that our
preschool students can answer this question. It is not
found in the Apostles' Creed.
Jesus Himself gives us the answer found in the
16th chapter of John's Gospel. Jesus was speaking to
his disciples on the night before his crucifixion. Jesus
said, "Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come
to you; but if I go, I will send him to you."
So let me get this straight - Jesus said that He will
only send the Counselor if he goes away. But why can't
he stay too? And if Jesus is with the disciples why does
Volu m e
51,
one need His Spirit? The answers are found in
the understanding both the work of the Son of
God as well as the work of the Holy Spirit.
The work of Jesus would be completed
upon His death and resurrection. Jesus' work
included paying the full price for each and every
sin. Jesus paid with his holy precious blood, and
his innocent suffering and death. Jesus offers
a way back to His Father, our Creator, through
this payment of His perfect sacrifice.
The work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of
Truth, is that of bringing one to faith in Jesus
and then keeping him/her in faith till one's
death. But first - the Spirit of Truth must convict
one of his/her sin. And secondly, the Spirit of
God - the Spirit of Truth must instill faith in
the heart and the mind of the individual into to
believe in Jesus as one's Lord and Savior.
The Spirit of God worked through inspiring
men to write down God's Sacred Word. The
Spirit of God is the Spirit of Truth. This is quite
a contrast from that of the Evil Spirit. The Evil
Spirit, also referred to by Jesus as the Prince of
this world, is the father of lies. In fact, the Evil
Spirit - can only speak lies.
The Evil Spirit attempts to put doubt into
the mind of people. Sin is the rejection of God;
either by trusting in something or someone
rather than God; or by total lack of faith unbelief in Creator God; His Son or both! By
rejecting the Father and/or Jesus His Son - one
is rejecting the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God convicts the world by
teaching about Jesus and how He now sits at the

right hand of God the Father. The Spirit
of God convicts the world by revealing
that one is unable to live up to the
righteousness that our Creator demands,
and that Jesus in fact did. Jesus' righteous
life, in contrast to our countless rebellious
ways makes it obvious of our need for a
Savior. The wages of sin is death, temporal
and everlasting death. Without the Spirit's
blessing of faith in Jesus, one remains on
death row - spiritual death row.
However, one does not have to remain
on spiritual death row. One can, by the
grace of the Spirit of Truth, reject the lies
of the Evil Spirit and trust in the saving
work of the Son of God!
The Spirit of Truth has come and
now those who have been blessed with
trusting in Jesus can hardly wait for Jesus
imminent return!

TOP STORIES
BISON
Story Continued.
Louie Larose was active in starting the buffalo project.
(photo courtesy: Sharon Redhorn-Chamberlain)
program, through herd management grants and
the Indigenous Tourism BC. Parker says, “the
buffalo project isn’t completely established, but I
know we could make it more profound, Sean Bear
is our buffalo manager, but our team all share the
same duties.” She goes on to add that “we haven’t
had to use tribal appropriations until this year.
With that I know we can use it to enhance other
areas.” Wildlife & Parks is also self-sufficient
through revenue from hunting permits.
Winnebago tribal members can also add
bison meat to their kitchen tables. Parker shares
“charging for buffalo is a colonizers mentality. We
only take what we need and use everything we
harvest.” Wildlife & Parks give away bison meat
to Winnebago tribal members free of charge,
non-tribal members at eight dollars/lb, and in
store at twelve to fourteen dollars/lb. Prior to the
harvesting process, a prayer is said over the bison
which has always been a way to express gratitude
to the buffalo for sacrificing its life to feed the
people.
The project has been a part of the community
since the early 90’s, and it would not have
come about without the leadership of current
Tribal Council member Louie LaRose. He was
a conservation officer for 15 years, and in that
time he has become known as “the buffalo
man”. Reflecting on the moments when they first
introduced bison meat to the community, he says
“there was a health fair when we first taste tested
the buffalo burger, we compared it to hamburger,
and a burger substitute. One little guy took a bite,
I asked him what is that buffalo, hamburger, or
substitute. He said it’s buffalo. I asked him, how
come? He said because the buffalo man is not
going to feed me beef.”
The WIN asked LaRose about what was his
favorite memory working with the buffalo is, he
shares the first time they had to take a buffalo
down “the CEO of the tribe told me to get a
buffalo, if not they would ask someone else. I
needed more information, about when they
needed it, what they were going to use it for,
and how was I going to process it. I told them we
needed to pray first; they didn’t understand why.
I panicked because I didn’t know of any prayer.
I talked to Stanford Whitewater”.”
Later, LaRose and Whitewater met at the
buffalo pasture. “Stanford said the prayer, the
buffalo I selected was on the other side of the
herd. He walked around the whole heard. Then
he walked up to me. So, it could be shot. I shot
him; he went down. We loaded him up and took
him to Oakland where they processed them. I
took Stanford back, he said Louie, that buffalo
knew. I said Stanford, that buffalo answered
your prayer.”
After a successful first harvest, LaRose was
then tasked by the late Tribal Chairman Daryl
LaPointe Sr. to have a proposal for the Intertribal
Bison Coalition for funding and equipment for
a much larger bison herd. Working with the
Diabetes Program, and with research from Dr.
Jung and Dr. Sheheb, they were alarmed by
the diabetes rate within the community. They
developed a proposal that showcased the impact
diabetes would have on Aboriginal DNA in the
next 25 years. Then he discussed the possibility
of a buffalo herd becoming a healthier food
source for elders, youth, and heart patients.
LaRose was successful in getting the Tribal
Council what they asked for.
Parker says “it’d be nice to put them in our
diets. From a cultural aspect, the buffalo was
a part of our oral stories, it is one of our clans,
we used them for shelter and tools. We used to
migrate with the buffalo herds. Their protein
matches our DNA, so it’s healthier for our
bodies.” Currently Wildlife & Parks have given
away meat for personal use, health reasons, and
ceremonial purposes.
Tribal food sovereignty is the ability to produce
traditional food on tribal homelands to sustain
communities. LaRose expresses his vision for
the buffalo for the future generations, “we need
to make a stationary processing plant to harvest
the buffalo and become USDA certified. We can
get help from a retired USDA inspector, grant
personal, and our tribal people and task them
with getting a plan together. Keep in
mind that there won’t be enough buffalo
to last all year, but we can process other
animals to make it work. People will
want to work all year, so engineer it in
a way that would make it last longer.”
He expresses the tribe could add
the Bison project to the Little Priest
Tribal College curriculum and train our
own people to maintain and learn the
buffalo harvesting process. “We need
to study the buffalo. Kids these days
can’t just sit and observe. I got a young
buffalo from the Badlands National
Park, you had to put the young buffalo
in with the mature ones. So, we got
an old female buffalo, and the calves
wouldn’t fight her. They respected her.
One day I couldn’t find the calves, I got
panicked because I couldn’t see them.
I went over and they were sitting in the
lowlands. The female was taking care of
the herd. She was teaching them buffalo
manners, I also wondered how they
learned, they learned from the elders.
It’s a complete cycle of learning.”
Bison is an important part of who
we are, with the loss of millions of
bison across North America, it is
more important than ever to continue
to maintain our own herds for the
betterment of our future generations,
bison is a much healthier meat
alternative, the bison has cultural
significance to our people, and if we
learn to study the bison we can learn
from them.
Jewel Parker, director of Winnebago Wildlife & Parks rounds up the buffalo.
QUESTION OF THE ISSUE: A whole host of graduations happened in May. What words of advice do you have for the class of 2022?
Garan
Communications
Manager
"For those going to college,
make sure to learn how
to cook ramens as those
late-night study sessions
take a lot of brain power.
The hardest year is the
freshman year but if you
complete the first year of
college successfully the
odds of finishing almost
double. It goes by faster
than you think!"
Bethani
Communications
Office Manager
"My advice for the Class
of ’22 is to learn to live
in the moment. Don’t
get caught up in what
was or what will be, put
your focus on what is.
If you find that you’re
already practicing this,
continue to strengthen
that mindset."
Tyler
WIN
Office Circulation Manager
"My advice is to find
something that you
enjoy doing and
spend your time
wisely Haha, like
Garan said, time
flies."
Christina
Jordana
"Make money
first, fall in love
later. That’s law."
"Be proud of
yourself for
finishing! Continue
to make goals for
yourself, and always
strive to be a better
version of you."

Beware the Dangers
of Ozone
UNL Scholarship Tribal Receipient
“Receiving this scholarship was just so
heartwarming,” Zeriah said. “I didn’t expect
to get this scholarship, but at the end of
the day, I know that I deserved it because
I worked so hard for myself. It greatly
impacted my year, and it also goes to show
how fortunate I am as an individual that I
have these resources and Ho-Chunk, Inc.
and my community behind me.”
Air purifiers have become popular and
widely available on the market these days.
Beware of certain room air purifiers that
produce Ozone. While we need ozone in
the upper atmosphere to shield us against
cosmic radiation, low atmosphere ozone is
toxic to all life and is one of the six main air
pollutants tracked by the EPA. This is for
two reasons.
First, it’s dangerous to all life, like plants
and animals. Ozone is so good at killing
things it’s used in industry to decontaminate
clean rooms, instruments and used in
water purification against pathogenesis
microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, molds,
and funguses. However, the ozone
concentrations needed to achieve this is
very high, making it extremely hazardous
and must be handled with many precautions.
The oxygen in the air that we breathe is
made up of O2 (2 oxygen atoms) while ozone
(O3) is made up of three. One extra atom
doesn’t sound like a problem but it’s toxic
to nearly all living things. The O3 molecule
is unstable making it highly reactive when
it comes in contact with organic materials.
It can cause serious damage to your lungs,
irritate your eyes and throat, and aggravate
asthma symptoms you may already have.
The second reason is it’s a precursor gas.
This means it helps to create new pollution to
form in the air. The unstable nature of ozone
causes it to revert back to normal oxygen
(O 2) detaching one oxygen atom which
then attaches to other particles in the air
changing its chemistry. This leads to creating
new compounds like NO2 (Nitrogen Oxide
i.e. SMOG) and VOC (Volatile Organic
Compounds) to name a few. So, ozone is
not only toxic on its own, it helps to create
new air pollution.
Yet we see Ozone generators on the market
that make it sound like Ozone is a good thing,
calling it “energized oxygen” or “Pure Air”.
They might also suggest that ozone can clean
the air, which is misleading. According to
the EPA, the scientific evidence indicate that
when air impurities are at lower to moderate
Zeriah started her freshman year studying
pre-health, but like many college freshmen,
she made a change and chose a different
path – criminal justice. With that, she hopes
to make a difference in the Winnebago
community.
Zeriah George is no stranger to carving
her own path.
First-born of eight children. First female
Nebraska state wrestling champion.
First-generation college student.
The Winnebago Tribal member may not
have started with a clear path to success,
but she always knew the stakes were
high.
“Everything I do is for my siblings,”
Zeriah said. “I just wanted to show them
that you can come from not much and
build from it.”
Zeriah recently wrapped up her freshman
year at the University of NebraskaLincoln (UNL), having received several
scholarships. One of which was a $5,000
grant funded through Ho-Chunk, Inc.
Ho-Chunk, Inc. established a fund with
UNL in 2020 to provide scholarships
to enrolled members of the Winnebago
Tribe, committing $25,000 in
scholarships total. Zeriah was the first
recipient of the program.
“I want to further my education within the
criminal justice field because my people
suffer from a lot of injustices from the
federal system,” she said. “Then I would
like to eventually come back to Winnebago
to help my people and be their voice against
those injustices.”
“Also, I’d like to be involved with the
Winnebago Public Schools to help break the
generational cycles of alcohol abuse within
the reservation,” she continued. “I really
want better for our people.”
Inspired by this goal for her community and
her siblings, Zeriah has forged ahead on her
path as a first-generation college student.
“Making the transition from high school to
a Big Ten University was very difficult, but
despite the challenges I never gave up on
myself,” she said. “Coming into next year, I
know what to expect and I feel prepared and
excited to be taking criminology classes.”
“Just like Chief Little Priest said, ‘Be strong
and educate my children,’” she added. “That
was way before his time, and that’s such a
great way to put it.”
levels, ozone does very little to remove
those indoor air contaminants.
There are other “air purifier” devices on
the market, such as electronic particle
air cleaners, ionizers, and electrostatic
precipitators, which remove airborne
particles like dust and smoke soot. The
tradeoff is they often produce ozone while
they operate. So while you’re taking out
impurities in the air, you are adding toxic
ozone and precursor gasses back in. So
before you purchase an air purifier like
these be sure to check how much ozone
it produces.
What are the allowable limits for Ozone?
Let’s take a look at a few government
agencies standards for ozone. 1) The
FDA puts a limit of 0.05 ppm (parts per
million) for ozone that is produced from
medical devices. 2) OSHA has set an
upper exposure limit of 0.10 ppm for
8 hours while working around ozone
indoors. 3) The EPA’s standard for ozone
while working outdoors is 0.08ppm for 8
hours. This should help you judge if the
air purifier is safe for you and your family.
What else can be done to control indoor
air pollution? The first step would be
to eliminate what’s creating the polluted
air in the first place. This can be any
number of things. Cleaning up to remove
biological contaminates, controlling
humidity and moisture, cleaning up and
disinfecting any wet surfaces, and using
good housekeeping practices to control
the amount of dust in the air.
The second thing would be to vent out
pollutants. Open windows to get air flow,
change furnace or air conditioning air
filters every 3 months, use exhaust fans
when needed. This might even include
cleaning out air ducts that have collected
buildup over the years.
The third approach, and the last line of
defense, is to clean the air though air
filtration devices. This option should only
be used to supplement air cleaning and not
to be the main way to control your indoor
air in-of-itself. Being aware of the ozone
risk is part of deciding on which purifier
is best for you and your family should you
want to use one.
