The WIN staff was snooping around in
pictures from 2004, anyone recognize?

I don’t remember who sent this into the
WIN office, but it’s a good shot of the
Main Street of Winnebago from oh bout a
hundred years ago.

The town is abuzz with talk of the Winnebago Tribe taking control of our Hospital on July 1st…what are your thoughts?

'We can’t keep begging them to fix it'
The Winnebago 12 Clans Unity
Hospital debuts under tribal control
on July 1
By Kevin Abourezk
WINNEBAGO, Nebraska – The
59-year-old Winnebago man suffered
a seizure late that night in May,
forcing his family to call 911.
An ambulance took nearly 25
minutes to get to his home in Winnebago.
Medical staff at the Omaha-Winnebago Hospital couldn’t find his
medical history, though he had been
there for all of his previous seizures,
and initially didn’t give him enough
sedative to stop the seizure. Staff
couldn’t find scissors to cut his shirt
off and failed to find a vein suitable for
an IV, leading them to drill a main line
into his neck.
The chaotic hospital scene that
nearly cost the life of Tori Kitcheyan’s
father is just one more reason she is
happy her people will now get to chart
their own course for health care.
“I really thought that we were going
to lose my dad that night,” she said.
“We should have a place that they can
get safe care.”
On Sunday, the Winnebago Tribe
will officially take control of the Indian
Health Service hospital in its community and finally have direct control of
its health care. The transition is a
major stepping stone toward sovereignty and self-determination for the
tribe, but also represents the start of a
hard fight to repair long-lingering
problems at the hospital.
The IHS hospital in Winnebago has
struggled following the July 2015
decision by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services to terminate
the facility's certification due to
serious lapses in patient care. The
hospital, already suffering from
inadequate funding, can no longer bill
Medicare and Medicaid for services.
Almost three years later, the IHS had
yet to even submit an application to
regain certification.
“This is the worst kind of chicken
and egg problem,” Rep. Jack Bergman
(R-Minnesota) said at a March 20
hearing on Capitol Hill that focused on
the IHS, arguing that the agency faces
an uphill battle in correcting problems
at Winnebago and other facilities in
the Great Plains.
The Winnebago Tribal Council voted
last November to pursue self-governance after failing to see improvements at the hospital.

Following are the prepared remarks
delivered by Kurt Alme, the U.S. Attorney for Montana, at a training conference for Indian Country law enforcement in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on
June 27, 2018. Alme serves as vice
chair of the Native American Issues
Subcommittee of the Attorney General’s
Advisory Committee at the Department
of Justice.
Our country is in the throes of an
opioid epidemic and a major meth crisis. Let me repeat some of the statistics
you may have already heard. There
were about 8,000 overdose deaths in
America in 1990. But in 2016, an estimated 64,000 Americans died of drug
overdoses. As the Deputy Attorney Gen-

V i s i t

Dr. Lynelle Noisy Hawk, who is
Oglala and Hunkpapa Lakota and the
former clinical director for the Crow/
Northern Cheyenne Hospital in
Montana, will serve as the hospital’s
clinical director.
Smith, a citizen of the Winnebago
Tribe, has served for 14 years as the
tribe’s general legal counsel and spent
the past 2 ½ years on the tribe’s
self-governance steering committee,
which has carried out planning and
implementation of the tribe’s assumption of the Indian Health Service
hospital on its reservation.
“Our people don’t even know what
good health care looks like,” Smith
said. “We made the big decision that
we can’t wait for IHS, for the federal
government, to do this for us anymore. We can’t keep begging them to
fix it.”
She said the tribe’s decision to take
control of the hospital is also a great
burden and it will be up to the
management team put in place to
ensure improvements are made. She
said she hopes to regain certification
from the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services within 18 months
to two years.
“We’re going to push for sooner
than that,” she said.
Smith said the Winnebago Tribe
also will seek to gain a portion of
federal funding recently appropriated
for hospitals, such as the Winnebago
hospital, that are seeking to regain
CMMS certification.
Kitcheyan said the tribe has
worked hard to educate its members
about how self-governance works.
Some tribal members were concerned
the tribe would lose health funding by
taking over the hospital.
She said the tribe won’t lose health
funding but will get to decide how
best to use the funding it receives.
Also, the tribe will be able to decide
who to hire and who to fire at the
hospital, unlike when the hospital
was under IHS management, she
said.
That means health care providers
who don’t serve the tribe’s members
competently likely won’t keep their
jobs, Kitcheyan said. However,
hospital employees who perform well
also won’t have to suffer under
incompetent leaders who typically
stay in their posts for only a few
months, she said. Indeed, the hospital has had 13 chief executive officers

U.S. Attorney: Substance abuse on the rise in Indian
Country

Posted: Wednesday, June 27, 2018
Two young activists, Tyler LaMere,
and Parkland shooting survivor Emma
Gonzalez

The move to self-governance – as set
forth by Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance
Act of 1975 – allows tribes to assume
control over health care funding and
programs that the IHS would otherwise provide. A tribe must enter into a
compact, as well as a funding agreement, with the federal government
that sets forth the terms of their
nation-to-nation relationship.
The effort, though, is seeing some
resistance. The Winnebago Tribe
shares the hospital with the neighboring Omaha Tribe, whose leaders have
raised questions about the initiative.
“I feel that IHS has failed us, has
killed our people, has not fulfilled
their obligations to the people,”
Omaha Chairman Michael Wolfe told
Indianz.Com in January. “Now they’re
bailing out, and they’re just happy
and tickled pink that Winnebago
wants to take this hospital over. They
broke it. Why should the Winnebago
want to come and fix it?”
The Winnebago and Omaha tribes
would need to agree to move forward
with self-governance if they wanted to
offer all of the same programs with the
same level of funding. For now, the
Winnebago Tribe plans to move
forward without the Omahas, though
they plan to keep the door open, said
Kitcheyan, a Winnebago tribal councilmember.
“I hope that the tribes are going to
come together in the near future to
finalize those conversations,” she said.
The failure of the tribes to negotiate a
hospital agreement could affect
Omaha tribal members who seek
health care at the hospital starting
Sunday, she said. The Winnebago
Tribe will have to start billing those
patients as it won’t have funding to
provide them health care.
“The Winnebago Tribe is not
wanting to do that,” Kitcheyan said.
“The Winnebago Tribe has done
everything to be a good neighbor and
to try to facilitate these conversations
over the past three years, but we’re
just kind of getting backed into a
corner ourselves.”
The hospital will have a new name,
new branding and new management
starting Sunday.
The tribe’s longtime legal counsel,
Danelle Smith, will serve as executive
director of the Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System (WCHS). The
tribe also has named Gary Wabaunsee, a citizen of the Seneca-Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma who has 40 years
of experience in health care management, as hospital administrator.

a t

eral has pointed out, our country lost
more Americans in 2016 to overdoses
than in battle during the entire Vietnam
War. Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under
the age of 50.
Native American communities have
been hit particularly hard by drugs.
We know from the most recent DEA
National Drug Threat Assessment that
while the drug threat in Indian Country
varies by region, meth and marijuana
are the most widely used illegal substances, while heroin and prescription
drug use has increased in many areas.
Between 2015 and 2016, BIA Field
Agents reported a 56 percent increase
in heroin seizures and a 109 percent
increase in meth seizures. Native American substance abuse disorder rates are

about twice that of the overall population. And according to the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
American Indian and Alaskan Native
people had the highest drug overdose
death rate in 2015.
In Montana, we are seeing the same
problems. Tribal councils report substantial meth dealing and use, and
growing opioid use. In 2016, nearly
half of infants born in one reservation county were at risk for neonatal
abstinence syndrome. While in 2017,
44 percent of the pregnant women
seeking care in another tribal health
care center tested positive for opioids
or other substances. Both on and
off reservations, substance abuse is

Twelve Clans Unity Hospital Logo Overview

“A great deal of focus was given to the design of the Twelve Clans Unity Hospital logo. We tasked the team at Blue Earth Marketing to create a modern logo that
also paid homage to our heritage,” said Danelle Smith, Executive Director of Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System. “We also wanted the logo to be significantly different from anything used by IHS in order to signify a complete shift in the quality of service that will be provided.”
Breaking down the elements of the logo, the circle at the top represents the medicine wheel, our interconnectedness between everything within Mauna's creation
for balance and wellness. Though at first glance it may appear to be a jagged line, the design is representative of an electrocardiogram display, commonly referred
to as an EKG. The design represents state of the art medical care, as well as the heartbeat of our community. The colors of the design also have significance with
the teal blue and green representing the sky and earth moieties, which provides the tie to the first line of text, “Twelve Clans.”
“Twelve Clans” is a bolder typeface and in the shade of teal blue, a viewer’s eyes tend to be naturally drawn to see it first. The emphasis on those words has an
obvious significance to the Winnebago Tribe. And the outline encasing the text binds it together, signifying unity.
The final element in the logo is the traditional Ho-Chunk ribbon work. The floral ribbon work rests at the bottom of the logo as an ever-present reminder of our
heritage, and it serves as a foundation for what the Winnebago Tribe will build the hospital to be.
“Every aspect of the logo was weighed heavily,” said Smith, “even the specific colors selected. Teal was chosen because it is said to open lines of communication
between one’s heart, controlling and healing the emotions creating balance and stability. Green is associated with renewal, growth, and hope. With the correlations
to healing and growth, they are the ideal combination for Twelve Clans Unity Hospital.”

Thoughts from the Cobell Land Settlement… JESUS OUR SAVIOR
By Lance Morgan
LUTHERAN OUTREACH

We take over the IHS hospital July
1, which has been a huge undertaking
and a major step forward for our tribal
sovereignty. We should be proud of the
hospital effort, but recently the Tribe
passed a resolution giving control of
tribal trust land back to the BIA. The
move was effective till the end of September. I really really hope this is just
temporary because it is a major step
backwards for our tribal sovereignty.
The tribe took control of managing
its land a long time ago and has what
is called a 638 contract with the BIA
to allow us to receive the federal funding that the government would have
otherwise spent on managing our land.
Tribes sued the federal government for
mismanagement of our trust lands and
it all culminated a few years ago with
the Cobell Litigation settlement. So why
would we give control of our land back
to the entity we just settled a mismanagement lawsuit with?
I believe the Tribe would prefer to
manage it, but really doesn’t have
much of a choice at the moment. The
tribal council attempted to disband
the Winnebago Land Company (“Land
Company”) late last year. The Land
Company dissolution wasn’t very well
thought out and has created this crisis.

The Land Company still exists because
the attempt to dissolve it violated tribal
law requiring the Land Company board
to do it first. But the Tribal actions have
created a sort of paralysis because the
legal status of the Land Company and
the CEO has been in limbo for the last
six months. This has caused several
things to not be done and has idled the
CEO and approximately $1 million in
the Land Company’s account.
The Tribe hired a lawyer to look into
it, but not many people have actually
seen his report, strangely including
some tribal council members. However,
after the lawyer issued “something”, the
Tribe took several actions, including
removing the old board of directors, of
which I was one. They also appointed
a new board recently.
My guess is that the new board may
keep the company functioning or may
just take some perfunctory actions outlined by the lawyer to shut the company
down and take out the money in the
bank account that was supposed to be
used to buy back the land on our reservation. I seriously doubt that money will
be used to purchase land now, which is
really too bad.
So why give control to the BIA of
tribal land? It is because we probably
don’t have much choice at the moment.
Lots of things need to be done with the
land leases and we don’t have a land
management department anymore and
the Land Company has a new board
and unclear if it has a CEO even. So
I suppose it makes some sort of sense
to turn over our land to the BIA, but it
sure doesn’t feel right when it comes to
tribal sovereignty. This whole thing is
really a side effect of not understanding the tribal law and the implications
of some of our tribal actions. We are
not exactly out of it yet, but hopefully
we don’t repeat this unusual chapter in
our recent government history again. I
also hope we take back control of our
land October 1.

“This a Hotter Topic”
We start this letter with this statement: Council members you are on your
own, no one person or group of people should set your agenda. We would
like you tribal members to think about some of the choices being made for
us. These are a few of the tribal council's favorite things. (apparently).
By the time this is read the hospital will be just days away from assumption by the Winnebago Tribe. Let’s all hope that all will be well when it's
ours, (can't be any worse can it?) So, Winnebago’s at last it's ours the whole
building; not from this entry to that threshold, but the whole hospital. WE
can make it great.
Leases - this is a hot topic. What should be a confidential matter is now
in the public domain. Why? Ask the BIA staff it seems all information and
action flows from there. How did that happen? Is any tribal member concerned? Under the Land Corporation the tribe owned it, now its back under
the BIA. Still no answer. Then ask the council to see if you can get an
answer.
Meth - this is a hotter topic. Why? Because the number of tribal members who have become addicted is growing at an alarming rate. This epidemic (it is epidemic amongst our native populations) does not bode well for
our tribal future. We need our members for our very existence. We need
you to be healthy.
Hoping to help educate voters in the up-coming election cycle we pose
these questions: What has this council accomplished (ask them)? Who will
benefit (ask them)? If only a group will benefit, (a clue), which group will
it be? Tribal members if you have been listening to council speak you will
know. No, it isn't the hospital that process was started back in 2015 think
of your own questions to ask them. We are paying enough in salaries that
each council member should be unrolling a scroll of accomplishments when
asked.
Money - Good news, we now have a savvy bank. Need we say more...
Land Corporation - if you want more information forget it, but there has
been serious interference by the council so much so that the tribe no longer
has a viable, functioning 638 Land Management Office (remember a majority
of the council gave the contract back to the BIA.) It's a fiasco. We won't say
anymore except Winnebago's we deserve much better, and there is more.
Speaking seriously, this last year has felt like grade school again. There
are bullies on the playground. And our lives as tribal members have not
improved. We've lost ground so very much. These two elders are dismayed
and alarmed. All the things stated in these letters to the editor makes us
wonder, is this how and who we really are?
The Lawyer - only one thing he's quieter than before.
This may seem light on information, and a little humorous that's life in
Winnebago. Help (lightly drag it out and fade away)
Tribal members election time will be here soon. Just remember question
everything. We do. It's our right, duty and privilege.

Jesus was the greatest story teller
ever. I was taught that prior to the good
news of reaching the Ho-Chunk people
they began their prayers with these
words: "Aho Mauna waza-hanach-guzra." Bert Greyhair instructed me that
this meant "Aho Earth-Maker teacher
of all things." Creator God's Son, Jesus,
came down from heaven to not only
teach us, but to offer us 'real living!'
Two issues ago in the Winnebago Indian News, I began summarizing a story
that Jesus taught. The story began that
with a father who had two sons. The
younger son disrespected his father,
demanded and received his inheritance
even before his father died. This younger
son thought that by so doing he would
be really living! In reality, he soon found
out that he was really dying.
This young man came to his senses
and decided to turn back to his earthly
father. We learned in the last issue that
his father welcomed him home. He embraced his son and on top of this threw
a party for his homecoming. There was
music and dancing. Now this was real
living!
However, there was someone who
was not happy. The older son hearing
the party going on finds out that his
younger brother had returned. This up-

set him so much that he refused to join
the fun. His father heard of his elder
son's refusal to welcome his brother and
had gone out to him. His father plead
with him. But the elder son answered
his father rudely, "Look! All these years
I've been slaving for you and never
disobeyed your orders. Yet you never
gave me even a young goat so I could
celebrate with my friends. But when
this son of yours who has squandered
your property with prostitutes comes
home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
"‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are
always with me, and everything I have
is yours. But we had to celebrate and be
glad, because this brother of yours was
dead and is alive again; he was lost and
is found.’ ” [Luke 15:29-32 NIV]
The story ends there. It leaves the
reader with a question: 'What did the
older son do?' Did he 'really live' with his
father and his formerly 'dead' brother
or did he refuse to live and thereby forfeited His loving father's offer of grace?
Are you willing to accept Creator God's
offer of 'real living' on His terms?
Each and every Sunday Creator God
offers you 'real living' at His Divine Service held at Jesus Our Savior Lutheran
Church at 11 a.m., preceded by the
study of God's Word at 10. We are presently studying the book of Job, a story
of trial, temptation and perseverance,
in other words 'real living.'

causing overcrowded jails, burdened
emergency rooms, and overwhelmed
treatment programs. In Billings, which
is the largest town close to several
reservations, child abuse and neglect
cases increased from 173 in 2011 to
531 in 2016, and 266 involved meth.
Forty-three percent of those cases involved children who are tribal members
or eligible for tribal membership.
Of course, of significant concern to
us in law enforcement is the impact
trafficking and substance abuse has on
public safety. Last year, Attorney General Sessions directed all U.S. Attorneys
to reinvigorate Project Safe Neighborhoods, a comprehensive approach with
state, local and tribal law enforcement
partners to aggressively enforce the law,
and to form partnerships with communities and organizations to help prevent
crime and promote public safety. While
reinvigorating Project Safe Neighborhoods in Montana this past year, we
heard consistently from law enforcement that meth is the major cause of
our state’s almost 35 percent increase
in violent crime between 2010 and
2016. We are seeing increasing dealer
on dealer violence, armed robberies of
casinos and convenience stores, and
violent acts committed by meth users.
As everyone in this room knows,
these problems are not just apparent in
sterile statistics. There is always a real
person behind each number.
Within a few weeks on one Montana
reservation, two horrible meth related
crimes were committed.
In April 2016, Janelle Red Dog
was babysitting one-year-old Kensely
Olson. Little Kensely was fussing, so
Red Dog hit her in the head causing a
seizure. Rather than getting the baby
help, she put the baby in a bedroom
and had a friend over to use meth.
Hours later, Red Dog said she decided
to take the baby to the hospital, but
on the way she thought the baby died,
so she stuffed little Kensely’s body in a
duffel bag, threw the bag in a dumpster
and returned home to go to sleep. Red
Dog was convicted of murder.
A few weeks earlier on the same reservation, a 22-year-old man kidnapped
a four-year-old girl from a playground.
He physically and sexually abused her
and left her for dead in a pickup truck
where she was found four days later.
The defendant was convicted and sentenced to 500 months in prison.
Tribal leaders said these crimes were
rooted in the rising scourge of meth on
that reservation.
These most serious problems demand our best responses . . . and deserve our best efforts.
Many good responses have already
started to reduce supply and demand.
The opioid epidemic is a top priority for the President and the Attorney
General. Last year, the Attorney General announced the formation of the
Justice Department’s Opioid Fraud and
Detection Unit. The prosecutors use
data to identify and prosecute health
care fraud related to the diversion of
prescription opioids.
So many of our good responses are
successful because they result from
partnerships with Native Communities.
I encourage all of us to support any
positive efforts they put forth.
An opportunity to leverage tribal
partnerships is DEA’s Drug Take Back
Days. The last one, on April 28, gathered almost one million pounds of pills.
In American Indian and Alaska Native
communities, DEA collaborated with
the BIA, and engaged 80 law enforcement partners at 142 sites. They netted almost 2,270 pounds of pills. The
next Take Back Day will be this fall. I
encourage all of us to keep working with
our tribal partners to get even more pills
out of Indian Country.

To effectively reduce supply, we know
we need the resources to do our job.
We were all pleased to hear that BIA recently received $7.5 million for this purpose and is hiring 17 new Drug Agents.
Because resources are so important, the
Native American Issues Subcommittee
has recently formed a law enforcement
resources working group to work on
this issue.
But let’s not wait for more help. Let’s
go find and bring together the resources
that do exist. We need to commit to
our drug task forces and support them
however we can. In times of tight budgets, we all know local and tribal law
enforcement are pressured to have officers respond to reactive crime instead
of investigating drug organizations. We
need to convince our partners that by
working with us in drug task forces
and taking down drug trafficking organizations, they will actually do more to
reduce crime . . . and then we need to
prove them right.
Where task forces do not exist we
need to look for motivated partners to
create them – whether the task forces
are formal or informal. In addition to
tribal partners, let’s find other willing
federal, state and local partners in the
area, and one size does not have to fit all.
For example, in Montana, we’re trying any response that works to leverage
cooperation:
On two reservations in Montana the
DEA and BIA are spearheading a push to
investigate the drug trafficking networks
that are supplying these communities.
In another reservation, BIA has
been awarded a drug agent. FBI is now
exploring the availability of partners –
including the new BIA drug agent, U.S.
Border Patrol, the state drug investigation unit, highway patrol, sheriff’s deputies, and city and tribal police officers
- to form a Safe Trails Task Force.
And for two smaller reservations
close to each other with a larger town
between, we are exploring options to
better support the Indian Country work
of a local police-driven task force.
We are also trying to support High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs)
in the larger towns serving as distribution hubs to Montana reservations in
order to interdict drug supply before it
gets to them.
Perhaps the most important step
we’ve taken to reduce drug supply is
creating a statewide drug enforcement
group of all drug task force leaders, and
federal, state and tribal law enforcement
entities doing drug enforcement work.
We’re sharing investigations and intelligence, and coordinating training and
resources.
By including agencies like the state
highway patrol, U.S. Border Patrol and
Postal Inspection Services in the group,
all law enforcement has a better understanding of all of the major ways drugs
are entering our state. I expect this will
help us better focus on reducing the flow
of drugs into our state.
We are also trying to better coordinate
prosecutions among federal, state, tribal
and county prosecutors to move cases
quicker and to be sure we account for
every member of a drug conspiracy by
either charging them or diverting them
to treatment.
At the end of the day, everyone in
this room knows that how effective we
are in reducing drug supply depends
on our resources, and the energy and
leadership we show other law enforcement who work with us.
But reducing supply is only half the
battle. We also need to help reduce demand for drugs.
Although this conference is mostly
about enforcement and supply reduction, I’d encourage you to learn some of
the highlights of federal funds available
to tribes for prevention, treatment and
diversion so you can encourage tribal
leaders to apply.

Most Department of Justice grants
available to tribes are offered through
the Coordinated Tribal Assistance
Solicitation or “CTAS”, a streamlined
grant program that is providing $101
million to American Indian and Alaska
Native communities this year to enhance
law enforcement practices and sustain
crime prevention and intervention efforts. In addition, the Bureau of Justice
Assistance recently held a seminar outlining many of the grant opportunities
for next year. It was recorded and will
soon be available on the Tribal Justice
Website, justice.gov/tribal. I encourage
you to tell your tribal partners about
the seminar if they don’t already know.
These grants are significant. For example, in 2018, Congress provided $35
million for Tribal Assistance, $5 million
for Tribal Youth Programs, and $30
million for the Tribal Resources Grant
Program.
Here are a few other noteworthy highlights for 2018 for you to share with your
tribal contacts:
First is our Comprehensive Opioid
Abuse Program which is run by the
Bureau of Justice Assistance. Its goals
are to reduce opioid misuse and overdose fatalities; and support the use of
prescription drug monitoring programs
to assist clinical decision-making and
prevent the misuse and diversion of
controlled substances. Sample grants
to tribes include: funds to the Seneca
Nation Peacemakers Courts to create a
culturally competent diversion project
aimed at helping Native American opioid
users; and funds to the Port Gamble
S’Kallam Tribe to support veterans’
courts and programs.
Mary Daly announced here yesterday that the Office for Victims of
Crime is offering a grant that could
be a “game changer” for some tribes.
Congress earmarked three percent of
the Crime Victim Fund to grants for
tribal programs. This means that tribes
have until August 6 to apply for up to
$110 million for a broad range of victim
services – including domestic violence,
mental health and substance abuse. In
short order, you can notify your tribal
contacts that there will be a webinar on
this opportunity tomorrow, June 28 at
2 pm eastern. It will be recorded and
available on the Office for Victims of
Crime’s website.
Tribes are being invited, for the first
time, to seek grants from the national
Crime Victims Fund. Some $110 million
will be available this year, thanks to
bipartisan action in Congress.
Substance abuse in Indian Country
is an issue receiving attention at the
highest levels of our agencies and government. I am vice-chair of the Native
American Issues Subcommittee of the
Attorney General’s Advisory Council. We
have recognized the importance of drug
and related violence issues in Indian
Country and formed standing working
groups to address substance abuse,
violent crime, and law enforcement
resources. I can tell you that the U. S.
Attorneys who serve on these groups are
energized and motivated to reduce drug
use and related violent crime.
Also, the Indian Country Law Enforcement Coordination Working Group,
co-chaired by the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
is helping coordinate federal law enforcement in tribal communities. The
group includes representatives from
13 federal law enforcement agencies
and has focused heavily on the opioid
epidemic and coordinating responses to
the problem.
As you finish the rest of this conference and after you return home, I encourage you to keep thinking of better
ways we can attack these problems at
home or on a regional or national level.
Drug traffickers are always changing
and improving their methods. We need
to do the same. Feed your ideas to your

agency, your partner agencies, or feel
free to call me.
Let’s also commit to improving how
we do our jobs day to day – as you’ve
done by attending this conference. The
Department of Justice, often in coordination with BIA, offers trainings in
opioid trends, changing investigative
techniques, drug handling precautions,
naloxone use, and indicators that opioids are in the community.
In addition, the Executive Office for
U. S. Attorneys carries out the National
Indian Country Training Initiative
which includes training for federal and
tribal investigators and prosecutors on
topics such as drug-related offenses in
Indian Country. The training initiative,
together with SAMHSA and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, also hosts
a yearly training to help tribes create
a Tribal Action Plan to combat alcohol
and substance abuse among tribal
members. This type of comprehensive
planning is critical to minimizing drug
use in a community.
As these trainings are offered, I encourage you to attend those that are
helpful to you, but also to invite tribal
leaders to attend those that are helpful to them.
Last year, Mason Moore, a deputy
sheriff in Montana was shot and killed
in the line of duty. Last month, I had
the honor of delivering a letter from
Attorney General Sessions to Jodi
Moore, Deputy Moore’s widow, their
twin junior high boys and elementary
daughter. I got to thank Ms. Moore for
her family’s sacrifice and tell the children that their dad is a hero.
Last year, 129 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty, and
over 58,000 were assaulted.
There are some who say the work we
do at best doesn’t make any difference,
and at worst puts people in prison who
shouldn’t be there. I’m here to tell you
that’s not true. The work you do makes
a big difference in lives, in families and
in communities. I and all Americans
owe you a debt of gratitude for putting
your life on the line every day, just like
Deputy Moore and the other 128 officers who died last year. You are making
a difference, and you see it in the lives
of those hurt by drug related violent
crime, those in the grip of addiction,
and those family and friends who share
the consequences.
Thank you.

“I think immediately people will see
a turnaround with customer service,”
she said.
The tribe doesn’t plan to continue
an agreement with the hospital’s
current emergency department
contractor. She said the tribe prefers
to hire permanent providers instead.
“We’re not going to leave that in the
hands of a contractor,” she said.
Starting Sunday, patients also will
see a new sign announcing the
hospital’s new name: Winnebago 12
Clans Unity Hospital.
The tribe plans to host a grand
opening celebration for the hospital
on July 25, a day before the start of
its annual powwow. The event will
feature speeches, dedications and
presentations by Winnebago powwow

“We want to make a big deal out of

only nearly lost her father in May at
the hospital but also lost her aunt in
2011 and her boyfriend last year at
the hospital. Her aunt was considered
one of five unnecessary deaths at the
hospital since 2011.
She said her boyfriend suffered
cardiac arrest in August near Homer

SUICIDE IN INDIAN COUNTRY
TWO-SPIRITED PEOPLE
Suicide rates among two-spirited, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered
First Nations are not known, but the rates of related risk factors in these groups
indicate that the suicide risk is greater than among heterosexual First Nations.
Homophobia, isolation and rejection increase the risk of suicide. An individual’s
risk can be decreased if he/she is connected to his/her culture and traditions
in a way that recognizes the impacts of colonization. First Nations communities
can support two-spirited people by providing safe spaces that include and respect
them, by standing up for them, and by speaking out about the discrimination
they experience. The term two-spirit is used in this resource because it reflects
the importance of First Nations culture as well as sex and gender orientation
and diversity. However, it is important to respect that individuals may prefer
to identify with other terms to reflect their sexual orientation, sex and gender
identity, experiences, or preferences.
Historically, many First Nations cultures supported and honored two-spirited
people; these individuals served important community functions and held positions of high regard and prestige (NAFC, 2008). Traditional social norms typically
valued the inclusion and respect of two-spirited people or an understanding of
their unique contributions to the family and community (Balsa Huang,
Fieland, Simoni, & Walters, 2004). In pre-contact indigenous societies, twospirited people often held sacred or ceremonial roles such as counseling, healing,
being pipe carriers or being visionaries (Lang, 1997, as cited in Alaers, 2010;
Walters et al., 2006). Following contact with Europeans, many of these values
were lost through the effects of colonization, residential schools, and Christian
practices and beliefs that aimed to erase this rich culture, but today they are
being reclaimed with language and cultural revitalization (NAFC, 2008; Walters
et al., 2006). Some communities were able to retain their traditions and have
quietly continued to protect both the two-spirited members of their community
and their sacred ways (A. McLeod, personal communication, March 31, 2011;
Walters, 1997).
