Easter Egg Hunt A Blast for all the Area Kids
Bago Bits…
Congrats to Alyssa Bass on finding the
2017 Hochunk Renaissance “Maszi
(Golden)” Egg. It was located in a pine
tree at the top of the hill by the water towers. Prize was sponsored by Little Priest
Tribal College. Good job!
Winnebago Tribal Councilman, Coly
Brown was recently showing off to all
his friends the morel mushroom he found
over the Easter weekend.
Dr. Rex and his crew at the Winnebago Dental Clinic were again the host of the Annual Health Department Easter Egg Hunt and the event
was a home run. Held this year at the Land of Wellness Sports Complex, participants were treated to a visit with the Easter Bunny, petting
Zoo, Pony rides and the Easter Egg Hunt. The Dental Clinic & Health Department through personal and public donations provided prizes to
those lucky ones that found the prize eggs. Although it rained a little, the funky hairdos didn’t dampen the spirits of those in attendance.

Gaming Wittenberg
The Ho-Chunk Nation is refuting
claims that one of its gaming facilities
in Wisconsin isn't legal.
The casino in Wittenberg. is located
on land that was initially deeded to the
V i s i t
u s
a t
tribe in 1969, The Milwaukee JournalSentinel reported. But a new deed was
issued in 1989 -- one year past a key
deadline in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
The latter date has the StockbridgeMunsee Community claiming Wittenberg can't be used for gaming at all.
But a Ho-Chunk Nation spokesperson
told the paper that the Bureau of Indian
Affairs declared the land to be a reservation in 1986 -- well before the IGRA
deadline.
Still, the land issue might be brought
up in a lawsuit that the StockbridgeMunsee Community might file against
the Ho-Chunk Nation and Gov. Scott
Walker (R). His administration believes
the Wittenberg site is legal but appeared to concede that its position could
change.
“Unless or until the appropriate
agencies of the federal government
reverse the existing determination, the
state of Wisconsin finds that the land is
eligible for gaming,” a state official wrote
in a letter to the Stockbridge-Munsee
Community, The Journal Sentinel
reported.
The Stockbridge-Munsee Community fears its North Star Casino Resort will
see losses once the Wittenberg expansion is complete. The casino is less than
16 miles from the Ho-Chunk facility.

April 28
Brotherhood 2nd Annual All Indian
Plus 1 Boys & Girls High School Basketball Tournament “Year of The Family”
April 27, 28, 29, 30 2017 Winnebago
Blackhawk Center gym & the Winnebago High School;
This year we have 39 teams coming
from Wisconsin, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Florida, Iowa, Minnesota & Nebraska.
Over 400 Native Youth & Coaches, Parents will be here on the Winnebago Rez.
Last year our theme was, We B.A.A.D.
(Battle Against Alcohol & Drugs}, this
year our theme is
“Year of The Family”. Sounds really
good, but in reality a lot of our Native
families are not together because of their
Choices. Lost in the black darkness of
alcohol & drugs, their children crying
for them, their loved ones. Yet, they
can’t stop, they can’t hear the cries,
on the black road of misery and selfdestruction.
Walking around with a broken heart,
a broken spirit and their soul is lost,
Spiritual Healing, and Spiritual help
is right there for them, if they Want It
For Themselves. We want it for them
but they have to look in the mirror and
want it for themselves. ReZZurrect
themselves and become ReZZurrected,
brand new serving their children.
All the Coaches and Players that are
coming here, to me each team rezpresents a family, I want to say thank you
to each and every one of them and the
families and tribes they represent. Let’s
Rise up and follow the Light of Creator
God and live again for our children.
Relatives I encourage all of you
to take time out and come out and
watch the games, you will see some of
the finest Rez ball around, defending
champions from South Dakota Team
Wambdi is returning to defend their
championship and all the way from
Choctaw Mississippi the Running Rebels is returning, along with your Bago
Indians and many, many others. On
the girls side Team Show Time from
Pine Ridge along with the Court Diva’s
should be tough. Also Brian Frejo, is
a drug/alcohol motivational speaker,
cultural activist, youth advocate, suicide and meth prevention trainer, actor
and DJ, will again be here to spin the
jams during the tournament and say
a few words.
Finally, Thursday April 27th & WinnaVegas Conference center we will be
having a team check in registration,
followed at 1:00PM with a welcome,
blessing and a few youth speakers will
speaking.
Games start at 4:00PM Thursday.

In My Opinion
Thoughts on Self Inflicted Wounds… by Lance Morgan JESUS OUR SAVIOR
consistently and were supported by LUTHERAN OUTREACH
government programs and extended
family. We did it because we didn’t
have a lot of choices back then. All of
us watched grandmothers hold families
together with very little money and a lot
of compassion.
I have reached the point in life where
people I really know are starting to pass
away. When I was a child I lost some
great grandparents and I was sad, but I
wasn’t old enough to really know them.
Now all of my grandparents are gone
and I knew them, but they all had lived
full lives and seemed ready to go when
their time came. That is the cycle of
life and I understand that, but I have
noticed over the last few years, that
many people who are in my age range
are passing way too young.
What really bothers me is that so
much of the tragedy of going before your
time is self-inflicted. Problems with alcohol take some. Problems with drugs
take more. Problems with a poor diet
and all the complications of diabetes
take even more. What is worse is that
many of these problems are combined
into a toxic soup of poor choices and
complications. This isn’t just hard on
the individual involved. It is hard on
the families and the individual’s children. Often these problems lead to
broken homes, failed relationships and
various degrees of poverty. It weakens
our tribe as a whole.
A company or a tribal government
can only do so much though. We need
to flip the switch with people. We need
to change what is normal in our community. We need to increase expectations immediately. I used to think it
was a slow process. I have spent 22
years running Ho-Chunk, Inc. and
have always thought that if we fought
the poverty it would change things.
We have changed some, but there are
still so many people who are choosing
to take paths that are self-destructive,
but not just to themselves, but also
to the families and their community.
But why?
2017, isn’t the 1970’s that I grew
up in. So many people drank, didn’t
raise their kids, didn’t really work
Unfortunately, the example set by
my grandparent’s generation has a side
effect in a generation with vastly more
opportunity then the one just two generations ago. We have become a giant
community of enablers. I do it myself.
I like to say my phone number must be
911 in my extended family. I know I
am doing it, but I was raised in a world
where you did everything you can to
help because it was about surviving as
a family and a tribe because so much
was stacked against us. One of our core
values is sharing, but it can easily slide
into enabling really poor behavior.
I think we have had it so bad for so
long that we have developed a culture
of acceptance for dealing with selfdestructive behavior. We just keep loving them and hoping things got better.
What we need to do is push our people
who are at risk and raise expectations
when they are young. When they falter
we need to push them some more, not
let them live in our basement, give obvious drug users general assistance or let
them off the hook as parents and raise
their children.
We live in a different time. Opportunities are greater for jobs, education,
and housing. Our cultural norm to
help no matter what has evolved into an
instinct for enabling in this generation.
We need to face this issue and challenge ourselves to find ways to push our
loved ones into making better choices
and balance our instinct to help with
the need to stop enabling our people to
basically slowly kill themselves through
bad choices.
“He was pierced for our transgressions”
I am tempted to stop reading this
article. I don’t want to hear about bad
news. I don’t want to look at someone
who is suffering. I have enough troubles
of my own.
Even church going people often do
not take time to meditate on the suffering of Jesus, or attend church on Good
Friday. We would rather simply jump
to the celebration of Easter without
reflecting on the price that Jesus paid.
Some church going people only want
the good stuff, the good news about
having a place in the new heavens on
the new earth.
If Good Friday did not happen, if the
Son of God did not die, there would be
no celebration of His resurrection. Without Good Friday there would be no need
to celebrate the birth of the Savior of
the world, for there would be no Savior.
Without Jesus having been pierced for
our transgressions we would still bear
the consequences of our sins.
Jesus’ suffering and death was a
tragic event for him. Jesus was innocent. Peter points this out, “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in
his mouth.” [1st Peter 2:22] The charges
against him were all based on lies, fake
news of his day. Even paid liars could
not get their stories to agree.
The prophet Isaiah wrote ‘Just as
there were many who were appalled
at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his
form marred beyond human likeness.’
[Isaiah 52:14 NIV] The savage flogging/
whipping of the Romans often left a
man bloody beyond the recognition of
whether the recipient was a human or
an animal.
Isaiah went on to write: ‘He was
Pastor Ricky Jacob
despised and rejected by men, a man
of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide
their faces he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.’ [Isaiah 53:3] Today,
people continue to hide their faces’ or
to look the other way.
For the believer in Christ, Good
Friday held a truly necessary and good
outcome. ‘Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we
considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.’ [Isaiah 53:4]
Note well: Jesus does the actions and
we are the guilty ones. Jesus ‘took up’
our infirmities - due to sin, He ‘carried’
our sorrows; and yet He was stricken
by God, smitten by Him and afflicted.
‘But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought
us peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed.’ [Isaiah 53:5]
Again note: Jesus was pierced, He was
crushed, the punishment we deserve
was upon Him, and by His wounds/
stripes we are healed spiritually. We,
on the other hand, we are guilty: it
was due to our transgressions - sins of
rebellion where we defiantly go against
His will; as well as for our iniquities
- sins of attempting to do the proper
thing, but missing the mark.
The Good News for us is: He brought
us peace, reconciliation, forgiveness.
By His wounds we are healed spiritually. Spiritual healing turns our lives
around; from certain judgment and
condemnation to forgiveness and hope.
The just wrath of Creator God fell
harshly upon His beloved Son, so that
those who believe in Him would not
suffer being forsaken forever and ever.
Jesus’ horrible day was a good day
for Christians!
We should expect adults to work. We
should do everything we can to rid our
community of the scourge of meth and
do it now! We should talk openly about
dealing with alcoholism and we should
promote healthy foods and life style
choices constantly.
Love should be a tool for change, not
enabling self-inflicted wounds. We all
know someone who is in this situation.
We all need to start changing what is
acceptable and raise our expectations
because it is actually the best thing we
can do for our people. The alternative
is attending another funeral of another
person who passed before their time and
I am tired of those tragic events.

News From Brownfield
Is this a “brownfield?” EPA defines a brownfield as:
“real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant.”
What do you think?
First, define what real property is….define whether a substance imposed on
the property is toxic and at what level?...and whether manmade, natural, or
horse-made, or maybe invisible as radon….define what one wants to do with the
property, and then at what level one needs to clean it up and for what purpose….
and does its presence effect the value of your neighbor’s property or health or
safety or the aesthetics of the original land. And what if land is private property,
how do we encourage “law abidingness” without crossing into compliance, and
taking away more of our freedoms? How can we work together as a community
to have incentives to help our neighbors shovel the manure, and perhaps make
it a useful end product to help bring our lands back to the original intent…with
every choice we make.

Spring Time In Bago
The Winnebago Girls & Boys Track teams have been very busy the past few weeks at meets throughout the area. They don’t have many left. They will be in Ponca on the 25th and the
Conference meet on the 29th at Hartington. Here are a couple shots of the girls and boys field events, shot & the long jump at Homer and Lyons. While over the EASTER weekend the Winnebago Health Department headed up by the Dental Clinic hosted yet another successful Easter Egg Hunt and Petting Zoo. The event was held at the Land of Wellness Sports Complex in
rural Winnebago.
