WHS Wrestling team stand-outs attend
Huskers Wrestling Camp last week to up
their game.

The Winnebago Tribal Council on Saturday, July 29th broke ground on the Winnebago Long Term Care Facility. Construction of the new
facility is scheduled to begin on November 1st, 2017 and is scheduled to begin occupation a year later. Since the summer of 2016 the Winnebago Tribal Council has been planning on the new facility working through many steps to get to this point. A number of locations were
considered throughout the year along with a number of designs. The final product will be featured in the next issue of the WIN. Pictured are

Powwow was a hit with all the running
enthusiasts.

On Sunday of the 151st Annual Homecoming Celebration the Powwow was brought to a halt as the Winnebago Tribe honored the Water
Protectors from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Winnebago Warrior, Aric “Dusty” Armell invited the Global Environmental group to the
Powwow, and asked that the Winnebago be allowed to Honor them. The group put up camp near the Veteran’s Memorial Park and spent
the entire 4 days Celebrating with the Winnebago. The honoring consisted of testimonials and an honor song sung by the Standing Horse
drum, “Mni Wiconi” ‘Water is Life.’

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe won
a significant victory this week in its
fight to protect the Tribe’s drinking
water and ancestral lands from the
Dakota Access pipeline.
A federal judge ruled that the federal permits authorizing the pipeline
to cross the Missouri River just upstream of the Standing Rock reservation, which were hastily issued by the
Trump administration just days after
the inauguration, violated the law in
certain critical respects.
In a 91-page decision, Judge James
Boasberg wrote.
“the Court agrees that [the Corps]
did not adequately consider the impacts
of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting
rights, or environmental justice, or the
degree to which the pipeline’s effects
are likely to be highly controversial.”
The Court did not determine whether
pipeline operations should be shut off
and has requested additional briefing
on the subject and a status conference
next week.
“This is a major victory for the Tribe

the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe have
been disregarded by the builders of the
Dakota Access Pipeline and the Trump
administration—prompting a well-deserved global outcry,” said Earthjustice
attorney Jan Hasselman. “The federal
courts have stepped in where our political systems have failed to protect the
rights of Native communities.”
The Court ruled against the Tribe on
several other issues, finding that the
reversal allowing the pipeline complied
with the law in some respects.
The $3.8 billion pipeline project,
also known as Bakken Oil Pipeline,
extends 1,168 miles across North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois,
crossing through communities, farms,
tribal land, sensitive natural areas and
wildlife habitat.
The pipeline would carry up to
570,000 barrels a day of crude oil from
the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota
to Illinois where it links with another
pipeline that will transport the oil to
terminals and refineries along the Gulf
of Mexico.

and we commend the courts for upholding the law and doing the right thing,”
said Standing Rock Sioux Chairman
Dave Archambault II in a recent statement. “The previous administration
painstakingly considered the impacts
of this pipeline, and President Trump
hastily dismissed these careful environmental considerations in favor of political and personal interests. We applaud
the courts for protecting our laws and
regulations from undue political influence and will ask the Court to shut down
pipeline operations immediately.”
The Tribe’s inspiring and courageous
fight has attracted international attention and drawn the support of hundreds
of tribes around the nation.
The Tribe is represented by the nonprofit environmental law firm Earthjustice, which filed a lawsuit challenging
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for
issuing a permit for the pipeline construction in violation of several environmental laws.

and are being attributed to improperly
sterilized equipment, The Sioux City
Journal reported.
According to the paper, a consultant
for AB Staffing Solutions, a firm that
was hired to provide services at the
hospital, was fired and the podiatry
clinic has been closed. The Center for
Disease Control and Prevention is now
investigating, the paper said.
Two summer ago, the hospital lost

certification from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Service after placing
patients in repeated danger, leading
to several deaths. The IHS has been
unable to say when the facility will get
back on track.

Thoughts from a Renewable Future...
By Lance Morgan

For the last ten years, we have
slowly been adding solar and wind
power to Winnebago. When we
started I thought wind was going
to be the way to go, but wind is
primarily funded using tax credits.
The tribe is tax exempt and we can’t
easily use tax credits, so we try and
focus on grants to help make the
projects financially feasible.
After putting in some test windmills and a few solar panels, we decided solar was the way to go. The
windmills are too expensive to maintain, so we have decided to really
push solar. Over the last 5 years,
we have added solar to our corporate
office and then to some of our buildings in the Ho-Chunk Village. I also
got fired up and personally bought
some for my house in Winnebago.
The tribe and tribal college even got
into the act and added some to the
police and fire department facility,
and one of the college’s building.
We have approximately 500 solar
panels installed throughout the
town, making us one of the largest
solar installations in Nebraska. But
you haven’t seen anything yet! Several months ago, the U.S. Department of Energy put out a request
for tribes to apply for some grants,
which would provide up to 50 percent of the cost of any new projects.
Ho-Chunk, Inc. with the critical
help of HCCDC applied for a largescale grant and a smaller scale one.
Approximately 90 tribal projects

applied and there were less than 20
tribes awarded. We actually got the
grant for both the large and smallscale project. Starting soon, we will
add approximately 1000 more solar
panels throughout our community.
We are lucky to get these grants.
One of the key factors in getting the
grant was the corporate structure
and reputation of Ho-Chunk, Inc.
and the Winnebago Tribe. I suspect
our new president may not prioritize
renewable energy going forward, so
these grants might be hard to come
by in the near future.
We will add solar panels to several
more buildings in the Ho-Chunk Village, including some for the tribal
elders housing, which should help
with their electric bill. We will also
install solar panels at the tribal college, the tribal senior citizens building, and the tribal veterans building
at the pow-wow grounds. Since we
have extra panels, we will also install
some ground based solar panels
just north of the Pony Express in an
empty field where we just installed
the Now Entering Native America
sign. I think the sign and the solar
panels in the field behind it will really send a cool and positive message
about who we are and what kind of
community they are entering.
Both the college and tribe will
provide some matching amounts, but
Ho-Chunk, Inc. will be the primary
source of matching funds. We believe
that after factoring in the grants that
we will get about a 10 percent return
on our investment. The return is
nice, but that really isn’t why I am
so into the idea of renewable energy.
Someone asked me about the solar
on my house, I always tell people that
the return on my investment is just
ok, but mostly I just like driving up to
my house and looking at the panels
because it makes me feel good.
So I am hoping our example will
help push more people in our community and in the surrounding area
to use more renewable energy. At the
very least, I think it will make us feel
good knowing we are starting down a
sustainable path for our little corner
of the planet.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR
LUTHERAN OUTREACH
“I Have a Dream!”

One of the most memorable speeches
of the 20th Century was delivered on
August 28th, 1963. It was entitled "I
Have a Dream" and was delivered to
over 250,000 civil rights supporters
from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
in Washington, D.C. It was proclaimed
by American civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the March
on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,
in which he calls for an end to racism
in the United States and called for civil
and economic rights.
About two-thirds of the way through
his speech, Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
spoke these words:"I say to you today,
my friends, so even though we face the
difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still
have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted in the
American dream. I have a dream that
one day this nation will rise up and live
out the true meaning of its creed: "We
hold these truths to be self-evident; that
all men are created equal."
Yes, this was a powerful speech that
has some basis of truth found in the
Sacred Word of God; as both male and
female were created in the image of God.
As noted above, Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. was a civil rights activist, dealing
with earthly matters and not spiritual
matters.
I wonder if this was a dream from
God. Was it a dream at all, or merely wishful thinking? Is this type of
preaching or speech delivering, what
Jeremiah was railing against when he
proclaimed?
“I have heard what the prophets say
who prophesy lies in my name. They
say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’ How
long will this continue in the hearts of
these lying prophets, who prophesy the
delusions of their own minds? They
think the dreams they tell one another
will make my people forget my name,
just as their fathers forgot my name
through Baal worship. Let the prophet
who has a dream tell his dream, but

Pastor Ricky Jacob

let the one who has my word speak it
faithfully. [Jeremiah 23:25–28a NIV]
Put another way, who is one to believe? Jeremiah was warning against
prophets who said what people wanted to hear. These were not prophets
of God; rather they led people away
from God.
We tend to want to believe what
others say, especially when it is in
agreement of what we think or believe. We tend to seek people out who
are like minded, while avoiding those
whom we disagree with. We listen to
spiritual leaders who say what we
want to hear even if it is in direction
opposition to what Creator God has
proclaimed.
So, how is one to know who are the
true prophets? The true prophet or
preacher of God says what God has
said. In other words, he does not add
to or take away from God’s Sacred
Word.
How are you to know if he is speaking what Creator God has said? Have
you taken the time to read God’s Sacred Word? Have you prayed to the
Teacher of all things that His Spirit
would open your ears to hear what
He has said? Have you asked the
Holy Spirit to open your mind to understand and to see Jesus for who He
truly is and what He has done for you?
The very night that Jesus rose
from the dead, he said to two of his
disciples, "These are my words that
I spoke to you while I was still with
you, that everything written about
me in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms must be
fulfilled." Then [Jesus] opened their
minds to understand the Scriptures,
and said to them, "Thus it is written,
that the Christ should suffer and
on the third day rise from the dead,
and that repentance and forgiveness
of sins should be proclaimed in his
name to all nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these
things.” [Luke 24:44-48 ESV]

Letter to the Editor…
Anger Over Loss of Per Cap
To Winnebago Tribe Editor,
Two years ago no per cap. That is a right, our getting one. The Council gave
it to Lance Morgan. Last year we got part of one. The rest they give to Lance
Morgan.
This year, the third year, it sounds like they, Council, are going to give our
per cap to Lance Morgan again.
Article in the Winnebago Indian News, “Message from the Presidents Office at Little Priest Tribal College.” There are 232 enrolled Winnebago tribal
members who owe at L.P.T.C. He is going to go to Tribal Court to garnish per
cap and wages.
L.P.T.C. President is Maunka Morgan. Changing a name that sounds like
“Mauna” to me is very disrespectful and sacrilegious.

Total Solar Eclipse 2017: When, Where and
How to See It (Safely)
What is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the disk of the moon appears to completely cover the disk of the sun in the sky. The fact that total solar eclipses occur at
all is a quirk of cosmic geometry. The moon orbits an average of 239,000 miles
(385,000 kilometers) from Earth — just the right distance to seem the same size
in the sky as the much-larger sun. However, these heavenly bodies line up only
about once every 18 months.
Outside the path of totality, skywatchers in the continental U.S. and other
nearby areas will see a partial solar eclipse, in which the moon appears to take a
bite out of the sun's disk. Two to five solar eclipses occur each year on average,
but total solar eclipses happen just once every 18 months or so.
What will I see during a total solar eclipse?
During a total solar eclipse, the disk of the moon blocks out the last sliver of
light from the sun, and the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, becomes visible.
The corona is far from an indistinct haze; skywatchers report seeing great jets
and ribbons of light, twisting and curling out into the sky.
"It brings people to tears," Rick Fienberg, a spokesperson for the American
Astronomical Society (AAS), told Space.com of the experience. "It makes people's
jaw drop."
During totality, the area inside the moon's shadow is cloaked in twilight — a
very strange feeling to experience in the middle of the day. Just before and just
after totality, observers can see this cloak of darkness moving toward them across
the landscape, and then moving away.
These effects are not visible during a partial solar eclipse, so skywatchers are
encouraged to see if they are inside the path of totality during the total eclipse.
From what locations will the total solar eclipse be visible?
The path of totality for the Aug. 21, 2017, total solar eclipse is about 70 miles
wide and stretches from Oregon to South Carolina. It passes through Idaho,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
You can use this interactive map from NASA to zoom in on the path and find
out the exact locations from which it will be visible.

You can also check out our state-by-state guide to find
out which major cities and prime locations will fall inside
the path of totality. You may also want to attend one of
the many eclipse parties and organized events taking place
around the path of totality.
When will the total solar eclipse occur, and how long will
it last?
The timing of the total solar eclipse and its duration
both depend on where you are inside the path of totality.
At most, the moon will completely cover the disk of the sun
for 2 minutes and 40 seconds. That's about how long totality
will last for observers positioned anywhere along the center
of the path of totality. As you move toward the edge of the
path, the duration of totality will decrease. People standing
at the very edge of the path may observe totality for only a
few seconds.
The chart below lists the moment of mid-totality and the
duration of totality for a handful of cities that lie close to the
center of the path. Data from NASA.

Because the shadow of the moon will move from west to
east, totality will occur later in the day the farther east you
travel. Use the NASA interactive eclipse map to find out exactly when totality will occur and how long it will last in the
location where you plan to observe the eclipse. Just click
on a spot on the map, and an informational box will appear
with specific times.
Do I need any equipment to view the eclipse?
Anyone planning to view the total solar eclipse of 2017
should get a pair of solar viewing glasses. These protective
shades make it possible for observers to look directly at the
sun before and after totality. The following four companies
sell eclipse glasses that meet the international standard
(ISO 12312-2) recommended by NASA, the AAS and other
scientific organizations: Rainbow Symphony, American Paper
Optics, Thousand Oaks Optical and TSE 17.
Sunglasses cannot be used in place of solar viewing
glasses.

WHS 2017 ANNUAL ALUMNI
BANQUET HELD
“CHRISTMAS IN JULY”
Last Wednesday, July 26th, the 66th Annual Winnebago Alumni Association
Banquet, “Christmas in July,” was held at the new Cardinal Conference Center
in South Sioux City, with 71 in attendance.
Honor classes on the 7’s from as far back as 1957 were celebrated, plus the 25year class of 1992. The 50-year class had the most classmates present, including
Kendall Olson, Gene Stout, Don McGhee, and Andy Olson.
It was a great evening, with vocal and instrumental entertainment provided by
two very talented future graduates of 2018, Laura Neff and Raommi Bird, plus a
music video presentation of Native Voices by the Winnebago N’we Jinan Artists,
which both girls had shared a huge part in.
Alums enjoyed a glimpse of the school as it is today via “LipDub video 20162017” taking them on a wonderful musical tour of the school.
Jacie Price, a recent graduate of 2017, happened to have her dad, James, on
hand as she was surprised by being crowned “2017 Queen of the Banquet” flanked
by classmates, Kyle Urbanec and Ethan Bird.
Ethan Bird assisted in with the Annual Memorial Candle Lighting Roll Call,
honoring classmates who have passed in recent years.
Special recognition was given to all new seniors, while those present shared
their future plans and favorite high school memories.
Ninety-one-and-a-half year old Emmett McGhee, father of seven WHS graduates, made his 66th banquet of 66, having yet to miss even one!
The annual all-you-can-eat meal was shared, and the business meeting brought
lots of laughs throughout the room, led by President, Jerome Vavra, class of 1955.
Pattie Wroth Valladolid, class of 1951, generously decorated the tables with
Christmas gifts she donated.
As the night closed, everyone walked away with prizes from the annual endless raffle.
Anyone interested in attending next year can expect the banquet to again be
held on the Wednesday night before the start of Pow-Wow, intended to better accommodate those traveling from a distance who would like to attend both.
A special thank you to the younger graduates and students, and all others who
contributed toward making this year’s event a smash hit.
Come join the fun! If you would like more information or would like to volunteer
for next year’s celebration, please contact Recording Secretary, Darlakae McGheeMahon, at 712.259.2111.

L-R: 50 Year Class of 1967; Kendall Olson, Don McGhee, Marian Holstein

Friendly Reminders from The Winnebago
Housing & Development Commission
Please, Tenants with pets, be considerate of your neighbors. Keep your dogs on
a leash when walking them, on a chain strong enough to hold them in the yard
and far enough away from foot traffic of young children and service workers in the
neighborhood. Senior complex tenants keep the area clean of feces, your outside
areas are so close together and small that odors permeate quickly and are offensive
in the heat. We appreciate your cooperation on this.
This next item is from your Dwelling Lease as a WHDC tenant:
Pages 3 & 4;
4. Redetermination of Rent, Dwelling size and Eligibility
Section B. 2. Employment or changes in employment, of the
family head, spouse, or other wage earners over the age of seventeen (17) years.
The initial report of change in employment must include expected wage, and the
number of hours per week if resident is to be paid hourly.
Section c.
Failure to report changes and/or Misrepresentation: The Resident agrees to report full and accurate information concerning the
income of each family member, the family size, and accurate information concerning
any deductions from the family income in accordance with Section 4 (A) and (B).
Non-compliance with these sections may be grounds for termination, as always
we are here to assist all of our tenants stay in compliance so feel free to call our
offices Monday thru Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and we will be happy to help.
Dawn M. Snake, Resident Services.

Powwow 3 on 3 Basketball Results...
The Boys and Girls Club of Winnebago held a Youth 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament on Sunday of Pow Wow. It was a good turnout.
The Club would like to thank Winnebago Housing for providing us with a
generator and paying for the portable restrooms. Thanks to Sandy "Sandman"
Scott for helping with setup and letting us use his PA system and MCing the
tourney. Also thanks to WPS for letting us use the courts, and another thanks to
Allie Frenchman for volunteering her own time to help ref. Thanks to all the out
of town players who showed up.
The one thing that was upsetting was that there was very few local kids that
signed up, and the tourney could've been bigger. Parents are always asking for
events and activities for their kids and when we have them they don't get them
involved or be involved themselves. This has been a problem in the past not just
for the club, other programs as well. That being said it was still a great turnout.
Thanks again to everybody who helped.
