HCI Community Engagement Visits Senior Citizens Center

Bago Bits…

The picture explains itself, taken by

proud momma Darlyn St. Cyr.

A dedicated group of HoChunk, Incorporated employees visited the Winnebago Senior Citizens Center last week to present the Seniors with

a gift. “We presented the first check in January and the second one today, for a combined $47,795. We also shared lunch with the seniors.

We're glad we can help such an important cause,” said Anne Marie Downes-Bledsoe, HCI’s Community Engagement Officer. The Employee

group donates directly from their own paychecks to work toward the groups donation to worthy causes in the Winnebago Community. The

groups donation is than matched by the HCI Corporate office.

First Nations program helped launch Ho-Chunk leader’s career

By Mary K. Bowannie

The Winnebago Public Schools is at it

again expanding the Winnebago Elementary school with classrooms and lab

areas.

“The Indian corn is looking great,” says

HoChunk Farms, Aaron LaPointe.

This is the second year for Ho-Chunk

Farms' Indian Corn project. The goal is

to revive the practice of cultivating Indian

corn in the Winnebago community.

Ho-Chunk Farms is helping grow about

10 acres among nine producers and three

school programs this year, up from about

2.5 acres last year.

Ho-Chunk Farms has also established a

seed bank to help community members

with their own production. The projects

are important to honor the heritage of the

Winnebago people.

The Houses keep going up in the HoChunk Village, here two new houses are

going up east of the statue garden.

Annette Bowsher Hamilton always

knew she’d somehow end up in the

business world—even growing up in

rural Kansas, she knew. How her business ventures would unfold, she had

yet to imagine.

Hamilton’s journey would take her

far from the open plains of Kansas

to more than 600 miles north to the

bustling metropolis of Minneapolis,

Minnesota, in 1991 to participate in

the Tribal Commerce and Enterprise

Management Program (TCEMP). It

is a Native professional development

program based at the Carlson School

of Management at the University of

Minnesota. The TCEMP program was

created by First Nations Financial

Project, later renamed First Nations

Development Institute (First Nations).

The program was previously based at

the Yale School of Organization and

Management (YSOM, now the School of

Management). TCEMP was generously

underwritten by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

“I’ve always been drawn to the business world, and I knew I wanted to

work with tribes as an enrolled member

of the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas. This

program [TCEMP] showed me that ‘yes,

you can,’ and I needed that. I heard

about it through my mom, who found

an article in a newsletter,” Hamilton

says. “At the time I was working for the

Koch Industries in Wichita, Kansas,

and I wanted to get an MBA as I have an

undergraduate degree in accounting.”

Campus life at the University of Minnesota proved to be challenging, but

Hamilton received support from fellow

TCEMP students: Aurolyn Stwyer and

Terry Mason Moore, who were in their

second year of the program.

“The three of us—Terry Mason

Moore, Aurolyn Stwyer and I—we put

together a Native women in Business

conference and it was a success. Women

from across different fields of business

and tribal leaders presented and that

drew a crowd of about 75 attendees

from the university and the Minneapolis

Native American community. One of the

tribal chairwomen who attended was

Marge Anderson from the Mille Lacs

Band of Ojibwe. The Mille Lacs were

unique. They had money from their casinos and had built a community center

and a corporation within six months.

That was one of the highlights,” says

Hamilton.

Already holding an undergraduate

degree in business administration and

accounting, Hamilton knew she wanted

a different experience with her MBA

program.

“I had taken undergraduate business

courses, so I wanted to take different

electives outside of the business school.

So, I declared my own major—economic

development. I had to get the curriculum approved by the Carlson School of

Management. At first, they said, ‘You

can’t do this,’ and they had to call in the

dean. Ultimately, the school supported

me, but they didn’t feel the courses I

was proposing to take would land me a

job. Back then business schools were

more traditional in focus,” Hamilton

says.

Hamilton didn’t back down and got

the coursework for her major approved.

She knew she needed to not only take

business courses, but courses that

would assist her in tackling the many

social issues impacting reservation

communities.

“I took graduate courses in housing

policy, public policy and even social

work; classes that would open up my

world and help me to work on the reservation. It was not enough to work on

the reservation, I knew I had to deal with

other things. I took courses that would

cover what I thought I might need. It

wasn’t a clear path, but I knew what

information I needed. I don’t regret making those choices at all,” Hamilton says.

Hamilton says the issues she was

looking at addressing on reservations

still exist today, and it’s not always

about getting money to fund projects,

but how to create change.

“At the time, I had to pull back the

layers in my studies as I focused on how

to get money to do well and effect social

change, to overcome the oppressive

conditions, the lack of income, the lack

of wellness and healthy living. There

are still those issues on the reservations. Later, the housing policy classes

helped me to understand the obstacles

of reservation housing and participate

in the for-profit project called the HoChunk Village that is being replicated

as the model for other reservations,”

Hamilton says.

While Hamilton found support and

challenging opportunities with the

other TCEMP students, life inside and

outside the classroom was not always

welcoming.

“The business school was super

competitive and cut-throat. UMN at the

time was one of the top 20 MBA schools,

so there were students that went to

Duke or like colleges, and whose dads

were executives at General Mills. One

time in the marketing class an executive

from Land O’Lakes came and spoke to

the class. The students started calling

me a squaw and it became very hostile.

I filed a complaint, but nothing came of

it. At that time, you just had to keep

your head down, it’s not a classroom

experience I want to remember,” Hamilton says.

Having to navigate such hostile situations could have discouraged Hamilton, but it made her strive further in

her studies.

“The experience made me more

bound and determined that this is

what I was going to do and complete it.

TCEMP came at the right time for me

and Indian Country. I already thought

like a business person. I had to learn

how to think like a social worker, a

housing director, a public policy person

and all those difference perspectives.

I use all those skills with the MBA,”

Hamilton says.

Hamilton knows how important the

cultural support she received from the

other TCEMP fellows, and the American

Indian Student Association at UMN

was for her. But the tribal connections

she made while in the program proved

pivotal, too.

left us to return to school, she left one picture on her camera from powwow time.

A Winnebago tribal corporation plans

to double down on its bet that Nebraska

voters largely support casino gambling

in their state.

Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe,

announced plans on Wednesday to

team up with the Nebraska Horsemen’s

Benevolent and Protective Association to give voters the chance to decide

whether their state should allow casino

gambling, and possibly sports betting,

at the state’s horse racetracks.

The two organizations plan to launch

a petition drive next year that would

seek to put the issue on the ballot in

2020.

If voters approved it, the measure

would pave the way for casino gambling at racetracks in Omaha, Lincoln,

Grand Island, Columbus, South Sioux

City and potentially Hastings. HCI

attempted a similar petition drive in

2015-16 that ended with Nebraska

Secretary of State John Gale declaring

many signatures invalid and leaving the

effort 40,000 signatures short.

Lance Morgan, a Winnebago tribal

citizen and CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc.,

which also owns Indianz.Com, said the

petition drive likely would cost millions

Thoughts from AARP…

I will turn 50 at the end of the

month. I have mostly been avoiding it,

but I got an AARP card in the mail. I

kept it on my counter for several days

and then decided to throw it away.

Although I would have liked the discounts I wasn’t ready to commit to

eating a buffet for dinner at 430 to get

the early bird pricing.

Even though I trashed my AARP

card, I do think I have the makings of

a fairly crabby old man. I am a natural optimist by nature. You can’t run

a tribal corporation on the rez and be

a pessimist that’s for sure. However,

with each passing year I am getting a

bit less optimistic. I am also a systemic person. I am always trying to

create an environment or system for

someone to succeed. I have helped set

up Ho-Chunk, Inc., the Tribal College,

the Winnebago Gaming Development

Corporation, the Winnebago Land

Company, the Ho-Chunk Community

Development Corporation, the Tribal

Investment Fund, the Housing Down

Payment Assistance Fund, and the

Winnebago Community Development

Fund.

I realize that is kind of a long and

a bit of a cheezy list to be taking some

credit for, but I wanted to make a point.

Everything on that list created an opportunity for someone to develop their

area or to take advantage of hard work.

There are no handouts on that list. In

order, to get the down payment for a

house, you have to have done enough

to qualify for the mortgage. In order,

to get a grant from the community

development fund, you have to have

the other 50 percent of the funding.

In order, to make one of the companies

successful you have to work hard and

be accountable.

As I get older, I realize that what

we really need is accountability in our

community. If you want something

don’t just put a harshly worded post on

Facebook. Instead, take some personal

responsibility and do what it takes to

get it accomplished. I am proud of the

things on the list above, but they are

all designed to create an opportunity or

a helping hand, not a give-away.

I talk to people all the time who act

like I owe them something personally. I

more from ourselves. We need to push

those who can do more to participate

in making our Tribe stronger. When

someone plays the victim, we can be

sympathetic, but we should tell them to

take control of their own lives. Personal

responsibility and accountability is the

key to our future, not another tribal

program. At Ho-Chunk, Inc. we have

a little phrase we use sometimes. Use

the thumb to point at yourself, not the

finger to point at others.

of dollars and he has begun seeking

partners who would help finance the

effort.

“We’ve had several calls from people

who are interested in partnering,” he

said.

Morgan said HCI and the horsemen

plan to finalize language for the petition

this winter and begin collecting signatures next year.

HCI and the horsemen’s association

estimate that Nebraska loses $500 million a year in revenue spent by state

residents at casinos in Iowa and other

surrounding states.

One of the challenges that faced the

Winnebago company’s 2015-16 petition

initiative was the complicated language

on the petition, Morgan said. The company had to circulate three petitions,

including one to change the state constitution to allow casino gambling, a

second to establish a casino regulatory

agency and a third to decide how profits

would be spent.

Ho-Chunk Inc. purchased the site

of the former Atokad Downs in South

Sioux City, Nebraska, and reopened it

as Atokad Park, with eyes on turning

the site into a casino.

“That complicated it quite a bit in

terms of the signature gathering,” Morgan said. He said he hopes next year’s

petition drive might include simpler

language and fewer questions.

“We’ve got to make sure we get it exactly right,” he said.

The two organizations are considering

whether to include sports betting on the

petition, an issue that likely would require more complicated language, Morgan said. He said sports betting likely

would constitute a much less profitable

enterprise than casino gambling.

“I’m all for sports betting, but in the

scheme of things it’s a niche in comparison to the casino style gambling,”

he said.

Last year, Ho-Chunk Inc. sued the

consultant it hired to collect signatures

for the 2015-16 petition drive, claiming

Northstar Campaign Systems knowingly

inflated the number of signatures it had

collected. Morgan said that lawsuit is

still being litigated.

He said the two organizations leading the upcoming petition drive plan to

be more careful about who they hire to

collect signatures.

“We’re going to treat it like it’s a

straight-up corporate operation and hire

some people whose sole job it is to make

this happen,” he said.

In 2016, Ho-Chunk Inc. acquired a

former racetrack in South Sioux City

and reopened it as Atokad Park. At least

one race has been run every year.

"By the grace of God - I am what I am"

Recently I was asked which clan was

I from. My rapid response, before putting much thought into it, was from the

'Jacob' clan. While I cannot claim any

direct relationship to Abraham or his

grandson Jacob, two of the three patriarchs of Israel, I have some things in

common with Jacob. You see like Jacob

I am the younger of twin boys. Jacob

received the blessing of his father and

more importantly received the blessing

that Creator God had bestowed upon

his grandfather Abraham. Ultimately

that blessing was the gift of faith in

the promises of Creator God, the same

gift of faith that I share with Jacob and

his clan.

Your relationship to your ancestors

can play an important bearing on your

life. Family is important as one is instructed to honor, respect, and cherish

his father and his mother. One's clan is

noteworthy, however one's relationship

to his or her Creator is even more vital

to one's life, both now in this world

and forever in the new heavens upon

the new earth.

This brings me to telling you of a

man who placed too much emphasis on

his family's clan and their traditional

ways. This man's name was Saul. Saul

had much to boast about regarding

who he was. And who was this Saul?

Saul could claim that he was quite

traditional. He was circumcised on the

8th day, of the tribe of Benjamin (the

twelfth son of Jacob and the second son

of Rachel who died while giving birth to

him near the town of Bethlehem). Saul

was a Hebrew of the Hebrews and one

of God's chosen people.

In regard to the Law and its demands, Saul was a Pharisee, a devout

religious leader. He prayed several

times a day at set times. He no doubt

fasted each week, gave alms to the poor

and a tenth of his income in the temple

coffers. Saul was legalistic and thought

that he could make things right with

Yahweh (Hebrew name of Creator God)

by his own upright actions. However,

he had become a god unto himself, his

very own idol.

Saul in his traditional upbringing

and reasoning rejected God's anointed

Mr. Editor;

The take over of the hospital was

suppose to make the medical care

we receive better than what we ever

received before, but has it? To be

honest I don't think so and further

more I think the people just don't

care enough to stand up and tell

the council and the appropriate

hospital staff "enough is enough.".

Jeanie and i have been approached

by tribal members with incidents

that have happened to them and

maybe it's because they have read

the Letters to the Editor that we

have co-authored these past few

months. What these tribal members are experiencing is basically

the same as what happened before

we took it over. To me what it demonstrates is not so much what was

fixed but how much is still broken.

The administration at the hospital must realize that everyday

is a new day with new people that

are using and needing this facility

many for the first time. We don't

know who is in-charge of what or

even the persons name. People, we

have elders waiting hours for appointments after they have checked

in and no one checks on them. One

was so frustrated that she came to

me for help. Another had her care

provider changed by one of the

people in Patient Registration, a

person that does not know her particular medical condition and took

away her right to choose. These two

without permission is prohibited.

incidents are people related. These

were real people, real elders, not a

voice on the phone or a name on a

piece of paper. I hope these are the

only two incidents even they are

too many. Or were all those pretty

speeches just male bovine waste

spread around.

This journey must not start on

the wrong foot. These incidents

may seem trivial, but to these

elders they are a big negative to

our fledgeling hospital. A simple

fix could be a receptionist whose

soul duty is to help patients that

have fallen through the cracks, or

a board that list departments and

who is in-charge there. Or it could

be as helpful as someone at the

front desk asking "Have you been

helped?" Someone must have seen

the lady sitting there for hours.

What's the protocol for a change

in care givers? Who makes the

change?

Tribal members the attempts at

micro-managing of tribal programs

by the council must not be tolerated. More votes doesn't equal right

decision.

If you have read the letters that

have been in Winnews, you will

know that Jeanie's will be a big

voice for all the people who call on

her. I'm voting for Gloria "Jeanie"

Eagle."

bi-weekly for the Winnebago Tribe of

Nebraska.

One, in Hebrew the 'Messiah' or in

Greek the 'Christ.' Saul by rejecting

Jesus also rejected the One who sent

Him. Jesus fulfilled the signs that the

Messiah would perform, but he did

some on the Sabbath day - the Jewish

day of rest - and thereby appeared to

nullify his righteous actions.

Saul persecuted the body of Christ,

namely the church. Saul was hell bent

on wiping out each and every believer

in Christ Jesus based on his traditional

ways and beliefs. So Saul went on a

rampage of sorts by arresting those

who claimed faith in Jesus Christ. The

only reason that Saul stopped persecuting the church was because Jesus

graciously intervened by blinding him

physically. By the grace of God Saul's

life radically changed from being a

never Jesus the Christ to being an

apostle for Jesus Christ.

Saul after becoming a Christian was

called Paul. The apostle Paul preached

the Good News of Jesus the Christ. He

taught and preached that Christ died

for the sins of all people according to

the Sacred Scriptures. That Christ was

buried and was raised on the third

day, again according to the Sacred

Scriptures.

Paul went on to say that Christ

Jesus appeared to Peter and then the

Twelve. Also to 500 more brothers

(Christian blood brothers), most who

were still alive when he wrote to the

saints at Corinth - though some had

fallen asleep. In other words, they had

died but one day their bodies would

be raised like Christ's had been - as

awoken from a sound sleep. Christ

also appeared to James and to all the

apostles, including Saul/Paul.

Paul wrote, "But by the grace of God

I am what I am," namely one sent by

Jesus as an apostle. You who place

your trust in Jesus are what you are.

By the grace of God you are God's adopted sons and daughters having the

blessed assurance of the forgiveness of

sin, life now and forever!

Con’t. from front page story...

After graduating in 1993, Hamilton

returned to Kansas for a short time

then took a job with the American In-

dian Chamber of Commerce in Minneapolis to fulfill the requirements

of her TCEMP fellowship. While she

enjoyed her time there, she knew

she needed to have a more hands-on

experience and that she didn’t fit in

a traditional job. Marge Anderson

from the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe,

whom Hamilton had met during her

first year at UMN, contacted her to

talk about coming to work for the

tribe. The Mille Lacs were looking at

diversifying their tribal gaming dollars and their corporations. Hamilton

accepted the offer to work for the

tribe, and found herself moving to the

east-central part of the state where

the Mille Lacs reservation is located.

Hamilton would not only work

for the Mille Lacs, but she went on

to work for the Winnebago Tribe of

Nebraska where she now serves as

the corporate officer of vice president

and her job title is chief operating

officer of Ho-Chunk Inc. She is in

charge of the strategic direction and

oversight of Ho-Chunk Inc.’s five

divisions of government contracting, distribution, retail, construction

and marketing. She helps oversee

the tribe’s more than 40 companies,

with management responsibilities

including day-to-day operations, financial, administration and human

resources, and legislative.

She is very humble about the

success she has achieved and acknowledges First Nations and the

opportunities that the TCEMP fellowship gave her.

“I had met Sherry Salway Black

as she came to campus at least twice

during the first year—she came and

visited us, and that was super important. I look up to her as a Native

woman. Years later, I met Rebecca

Adamson—I went up to her and

thanked her for the program, how it

impacted me, and that I was already

working with Ho-Chunk Inc.,” Hamilton says.

She would not only thank First

Nations in person for what she

gained from the TCEMP fellowship,

but Hamilton would also be able to

impact the organization directly as

well.

Hamilton says, “A few years ago in

2014, Ho-Chunk Inc. allowed each

executive to pick a pool of money to

invest, and I picked First Nations as

a show of gratitude for the support

they gave to me with the TCEMP fellowship. I told the story of how they

changed my life and given me so

much. I wanted to give back.”
