Winonah Leader Charge

Winnebago, NE--Winnebago

Public Health Department has hit a

milestone of vaccinating 70% of the

Winnebago Community members who

are 16 years and older. Although, this

number can and will change if the

CDC authorizes the use of the vaccine

for teens between the ages of 12 years

old to 15 years old.

“When the CDC recommends the

Pfizer vaccine for the 12 years old

and up population, we will administer those vaccinations immediately

to those who sign up” said Emilee

Longuski, Communications Manager

at Winnebago Comprehensive Health

System.

If the new age range is authorized

to receive the vaccine, the Winnebago

Public Health Department hopes the

number of vaccinated community

members will stay at 70% or hit their

goal of 80% of community members

vaccinated. If community members in

this age range do not sign up for the

vaccination, it could lower the current

70% vacation rate.

“At this point, we have vaccinated

over four thousand people which is

pretty incredible at the rate we have

been able to administer” shared Longuski.

Vaccine appointments have slowed

down for the weekly clinic. “We still

have a lot of available appointments

and available vaccines. We are solely

administering the Pfizer vaccine. Most

people in the community want the

Pfizer vaccine but individuals who

want another vaccine, we can help

coordinate alternatives for them” said

Longuski.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is a

2-dose series given three weeks apart.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 95%

effective at preventing COVID-19.

Winnebago Public Health Department is still holding clinics at the

Winnebago Public School Gymnasium

every Wednesday from 9:00 a.m.11:30 a.m. If these times do not work,

community members can call to coordinate a time that does.

Longuski stated, “we are still administering to people who are over

16; no matter where they live, not

matter their tribal affiliation, tribal or

non-tribal. If anyone has an interest,

they can call Public Health Nursing

at (402) 878-2258. People can call to

ask questions or discuss any concerns

they might have. Our team can help

guide them to the choice that fits them

best.”

“Our Public Health Nurses and our

staff believe in the Science and believe

in the vaccines. Getting 2-3 new community members vaccinated a week

does help get that number up. Every

few people matter. Every 1 person that

comes through that door from the

community moves that number closer

to that herd immunity” said Longuski.

Herd immunity means there is enough

antibodies and protection in the community to make spread unlikely.

Data about the COVID-19 vaccines

and cases in the Winnebago Community:

There has been a total of 351 COVID-19 cases so far in Winnebago.

53% of the positive cases have

been people between the ages of 0-29

years old.

Over half of the COVID-19 cases

where due to a positive case within

the household or from a close contact.

49% of the unvaccinated Winnebago population is between the ages of

12-29 years old. Youth are the largest

unvaccinated group.

Out the vaccinated population, the

majority of people getting the COVID-19 vaccine are 30 years old and

up. The 30+ age group account for

72% of the vaccinated population.

“We have been lucky because

of the vaccine efforts; our cases

have gone down. Efforts won’t be

successful unless it is stamped

out completely. The only way to

get back to normal is for it to go

away completely and for everyone

to step forward and do their part”

said Longuski.

To sign-up for an appointment visit: www.WinnebagoPublicHealth.com/VaccineWaitingList

and submit the form online. A

representative from the Winnebago

Comprehensive Health Department

(WPHD) will contact each patient

by phone to schedule a vaccine

appointment time.

Winnebago Football Team Stubbles Against #1 Ranked Tiospa Zina

The Boys & Girls Club of the Hocak Nisoc

Haci held their annual NBA 2K tournament on May 10th. Pictured is the firstplace winner Duran Blackfish holding up

his prize.

The Winnebago Indians line up for kick-off in the 1st quarter during their home game on Thursday, May 6th against Tiospa Zina.

Another huge thank you to all of the

community members who came together

and participated in Winnebago’s Spring

Community Clean up event! Pictured is

Jordann Blackfish and Craig Neff.

WINNEBAGO, NE – The Winnebago

Football Team would have won if the

game was only two quarters but during

the second half of the game the Indians

found a way to lose. One of the worst

things to hear in football is the announcers say “Interception by Tiospa

Zina returned for a touchdown!” That

is what happened to Winnebago on

Thursday, May 6th at the Winnebago

Stadium. Winnebago ended up losing

by 10 points.

Final score was 30-20.

Winnebago won in stats. They had

more offensive yards, more passing

yards, and better kick return yards. The

stat that matter the most in this game

was turnovers. Winnebago had 4 massive turnovers and Tiospa Zina had 2.

Winnebago Quarterback Caleb Ke-

V i s i t

u s

a t

arnes had a game high 230 passing

yards. 84 rushing yards, 3 passing

touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. He

was helped by freshman running back,

Antrell Harlan with 77 yards.

Winnebago will take on Omaha Nation on Thursday, May 13th for the final

regular season game down in Macy,

Nebraska (Due to publication schedule, scores will be reported next issue).

This game is intriguing because Omaha

Nation averages 47 points a game and

Winnebago is only averaging 33 points

per game. “I hope Winnebago can forget about the loss against Tiospa Zina

because if they play Winnebago football

going into the playoffs they will meet up

with Tiospa Zina again in the championship game. However, they need to stay

focused on Omaha Nation because they

been putting up 66 points in their last

two games” said football announcer and

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska (WTN)

Communications Officer, Garan Coons.

Last year during the summer I really

Let’s go!!! Bring on summer!!!

The summer activities I am most looking

Trips to the lake, visiting waterparks,

star gazing, driving with the sunroof

open, wearing sandals, long evening

walks, bonfires, and cookouts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thoughts from a Crazy 2020...

I have not been writing many columns lately. I have been very busy

and have also started writing columns for the Omaha World Herald.

The ones I have been writing for

Omaha paper center on efforts to

give a larger audience perspective

on tribal issues. I think if people

can see things from our viewpoint,

it might help build un derstanding

and trust. I will try and publish

those columns here to if they are

relevant. I will use this column

to do a quick update on several

things to get everyone up to speed

and then go a bit more in-depth in

the next few columns.

Record Year

2020 was the year of the pandemic, but it was also the best

year in the history of Ho-Chunk,

Inc. We managed to end the year

with 1600 employees, $308 million

in revenue and $28 million in net

income. All of these numbers are

company records—"hey hey!” Our

previous net income record was

$15 million in 2015 and we came

close to doubling it.

We have a record year, while a

large percentage of our workforce

was forced to work remotely. I have

nothing but praise for our staff and

our people in Human Resources

and I.T. who figured out a way to

not only keep going, but also thrive

in a tough environment. Also, I

want to thank the many employees

in our community who couldn’t

work remotely and continued to

provide much needed services at

personal risk to themselves.

Gaming Update

During the pandemic we also

had to gathered almost 500,000

signatures for the gaming expansion in Nebraska. It was an incredibly stressful time. For example, we

bought tens of thousands of dispos-

able pens to avoid concerns about

spreading Covid 19. We fought and

won a battle at the Nebraska Supreme Court to keep our petitions

on the ballot. We waged a campaign

against some overtly anti-Indian

rhetoric and won in overwhelming

numbers.

Winning is nice, but it meant a

lot of work was ahead for us. Since

the day after the election last fall,

we have been working constantly

to design the casinos and acquire

all the land necessary to build the

tracks and casinos. We also started

a whole new corporate division

called WarHorse gaming, which will

more than double the size of our

company over the next couple of

years. We have been in the middle

of working to get some extra legislation passed to help clarify our gaming expansion. We have also been

trying to raise the approximately

$550 million it will take to build all

of the casinos.

We have been keeping our political leaders up to speed, but only

releasing information on a limited

basis publicly because there are a

lot of people who want to know what

is going on in order to hurt us or

help themselves. Once the legislation is passed, we can start the licensing process and hopefully start

construction soon after we receive

the official license. A lot of things

need to happen, but I am hopeful

construction will start in late summer or early fall. We will release

more details when appropriate, but

rest assured we are very focused on

making this happen.

Elders Village

With the blessing of tribal leadership, we are in the process of designing what we are calling an Elders

Village. We intend to create an independent living area where elders

can have affordable and fully accessible housing. We want the houses

and living units to be relatively close

together with a shared green space

and places for interaction, cooking,

and physical activity. We intend

to build it in the next phase of the

Ho-Chunk Village, or Village 2.O as

we call it.

We are in the process of designing

it now and hope to use some of the

federal funding to fight Covid 19 to

build it. We believe that quality and

safe housing that is not overcrowded

makes a lot of sense because it will

help protect our elders from unnecessary exposure to Covid 19.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"God-given duties of Mothers"

This past Sunday was Mother's Day,

a day that one often honors his or her

mother in special ways. Mothers are

often taken for granted, unappreciated

or under-appreciated, this is sad. We

should thank God for our mother (and

fathers) as well as cherishing her each

and every day.

Our Creator gave us a separate command regarding mothers. Do you know

what it is? "Honor your father and your

mother so that you may live long in the

land YAHWEH your God is giving you"

[Exodus 20:12 NIV84].

This command to honor one's mother

(and father) from God is to be lived

each and every day. Dr. Martin Luther

explained this command through these

words: 'We should fear and love God

so that we do not despise or anger our

parents and other authorities, but honor

them, serve and obey them, love and

cherish them.' Note well: it does not say

whether they deserve honor or not.

From the very beginning, Creator God

blessed women in a special way. God

gave Eve the blessing of motherhood.

Eve's name means 'life.' Each and every

person, besides Adam, came through

Eve - the mother of the lives of all mankind. God promised that through Eve,

that 'one' of her offspring, would crush

Satan and redeem the world.

So throughout time, women have

served Creator God through childbearing. The apostle Paul wrote these

words to Timothy: 'women will be saved

through childbearing—if they continue

in faith, love and holiness with propriety'

[1st Timothy 2:15]. Only women can give

birth to a child. Women are saved not

because they bear a child, rather God's

Word clarifies that it is through faith in

God's Son Jesus.

God's plan and way of salvation came

through a virgin who was blessed to give

birth to the Son of God, Jesus. God's

will is that all men, women, and children would be saved and to come to a

knowledge of truth. That truth is found

in believing in Jesus as God and Savior.

Jesus was blessed to have a Godfearing and loving mother. Virgin Mary

was blessed to give birth to Jesus, but

more importantly she was blessed to

know and to trust in Jesus as her Lord

and Savior. Mary sang these words: 'My

soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit

rejoices in God my Savior, for he has

been mindful of the humble state of his

servant. From now on all generations

will call me blessed" [Luke 1:46-48].

Here is an encounter Jesus had regarding the blessings of his mother, and

of all women: 'a woman in the crowd

called out [to Jesus], “Blessed is the

mother who gave you birth and nursed

you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are

those who hear the word of God and

obey it” [Luke 11:27-28].

Yes, this past Sunday was Mother's

Day. There were so many more people

who gathered with their mother, treated

her royally, maybe even taking her out

to dinner - or at the least giving her a

call on the phone - than who gathered

in God's house in order to thank God

for His gift of their life and the countless

blessings of their mother!

I close with these words of Jesus:

“Blessed rather are those who hear the

word of God and obey it!”

Asthma is a chronic lung disorder that causes swelling and inflammation in the lungs. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute,

asthma affects more than 25 million people in the United States, or about 8

percent of the population. Seven million of them are children.

According to the Twelve Clans Unity Hospital, 243 individuals received

treatment for asthma during 2020. Given the total population in WTN, that

means we are above the national average at around 9.3 percent.

The exact causes of asthma can be difficult to pinpoint. Allergies and triggers in the environment can cause asthma symptoms and asthma flare-ups,

and genetics can play a role. However, the exact reasons why people develop

asthma is unclear.

If you or someone in your family has asthma, you are probably well aware

of the triggers that can bring on its symptoms. For others, it is helpful to

understand what can cause asthma vs asthma symptoms.

Common Triggers

pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, particles from cockroach waste,

smoke, physical activity, cold air, the common cold, certain medications,

including beta blockers, aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and

naproxen sodium (Aleve), strong emotions or stress, sulfites and preservatives

added to certain foods or beverages like shrimp, dried fruit, processed potatoes, beer and wine.

Common Symptoms

shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, wheezing when exhaling (common sign of asthma in children), trouble sleeping caused by shortness of

breath, coughing or wheezing, coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu.

You may not be aware you have asthma since symptoms can be mild. You

should see your doctor if you think you have asthma. Asthma symptoms vary

from person to person. You may ha ve infrequent asthma attacks, with symptoms only at certain times — such as when exercising — or have symptoms

all the time.

For some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations. If you are experiencing a connection between these triggers and your

breathing difficulties, you should see your doctor to get a diagnosis and set up

an action plan. Early treatment for asthma can prevent lung damage later

in life.

If you know you have asthma, work with your doctor to keep it under

control. If your medication doesn’t ease your symptoms or you need to use a

quick inhaler more often, it’s time to get with your doctor soon. Continued

overuse of asthma medication can lead to side effects making your asthma

worsen.

If you want to learn more, Lung.org/asthma is a great place to start, where

you will find long-standing resources like the Asthma Basics online course,

Asthma Control Assessment tool and more. So make sure to listen to what

your lungs are telling you and take care of yourself.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Many from the Winnebago Tribe Recognized Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence and

May 5th as a Day to Remember the Missing MMIW

and Murdered Indigenous Women & Chilmeaningful action must be taken

StrongHearts Native Helpline

to prevent more Native women

dren. Urging More Awareness.

Winonah Leader Charge

Winnebago, NE--May 5th of each

year is the national awareness day

for Missing and Murdered Indigenous

Women and Girls (MMIWG).

“The main thing with our MMIWG

day is to have a lot more awareness

brought to this topic because of the

stigma and the minimal data that is

being reported on it. So many of our

relatives are dismissed too easily”

said Donna Wolff Prevention Specialist at YCIC (Youth Crisis Intervention

Center).

Data shows:

Indigenous women are murder at a

rate 10 times higher than the national

average (U.S. Department of Justice),

and homicide is one of the leading

causes of death for young indigenous

women (3rd for women age 10-24, 5th

for 25-44).

Native American women suffer

sexual assault at a much higher rate

and with more serious consequences

than any other racial or ethnic group

in the United States.

Rapes are overwhelmingly committed by individuals outside the Native

American community.

“It is all about education. We need

to keep better track of our people and

letting relatives know where you are and

who you are with” shared Wolff.

“We need to talk about it. It is a very

hard topic to talk about. Families need

to be more aware and keep in touch

with their relatives. Letting young native

girls know about this topic and what

can happen to them especially, with the

highway that goes through Winnebago.

Youth can easily be picked up. We need

to take this seriously” said Wolff.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 911.

Hotline is available 24 hours every day

Centuries of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples

Native American cultures, languages, lands and lives were all

systematically and forcibly taken

through colonization. Our ancestors endured genocide and assimilation for more than five centuries.

Today, there is ample evidence

that genocide still occurs through

the inhumane conditions on reservations, the jurisdictional issues

that prevent the prosecution of

non-Native perpetrators on tribal

lands and ignoring the Missing

and Murdered Indigenous Women

(MMIW) crisis.

The Connection to Domestic

and Sexual Violence

Domestic violence isn’t a Native

American tradition; it is a symptom of colonization that continues

to this day.

Through colonization, Native

women were devalued by non-Native people. They were degraded,

they were attacked and raped.

Acts that still continue today.

Tribal communities still experience

high rates of rape and sexual assault, largely committed by nonNative perpetrators. Native women

are sexualized in the media--in

costumes, in Native American

imagery and caricatures, and in

movies. Native women and men

still struggle from the effects of

colonization, marginalization and

assimilation and our shared trauma. Over half of Native women, in

particular, have been physically

abused by an intimate partner.

StrongHearts Native Helpline

understands the issues of MMIW

are related to domestic, dating

and sexual violence. We understand that missing and murdered

victims can be children, elders,

Two-Spirit, men and those with

disabilities. This crisis affects all

of our relatives. Survivors deserve

justice.

Research shows that women

are more likely to be killed by an

intimate partner (husband, boyfriend, same-sex partner, or ex)

than by anyone else. Over 84% of

Native women have experienced

violence in their lifetime. Nationally, across all racial and ethnic

groups, approximately two out

of five female murder victims are

killed by an intimate partner.

Homicide is a leading cause of

death for American Indian and

Alaska Native women. Many killings linked to domestic violence

occur right after recent breakups

or during separations. Leaving an

abusive relationship is the most

dangerous time for a victim of domestic violence.

Complicated legal systems,

jurisdictional confusion, and

lack of resources also leave many

Native victims of violence and

their families without support or

justice. Whether the violence is

coming from inside the home, or

from strangers living near Tribal

communities or in urban centers,

from going missing or being murdered.

Prevention

One way to address these issues is through culturally-appropriate domestic and sexual violence advocacy. We need services

that approach healing from an

indigenous perspective – where

victims feel understood and where

their unique needs as Native

people can be met.

Created by and built to serve

Tribal communities across the

United States, StrongHearts Native Helpline is here to answer

that call. It is a culturally-appropriate, anonymous, confidential

and free service dedicated to serving Native American and Alaska

Native survivors and concerned

family members and friends affected by domestic, dating and

sexual violence.

Advocates are available 24/7 by

texting or calling 1-844-7NATIVE

(762-8483) or via online chat at

strongheartshelpline.org. Advocates can provide lifesaving tools

and immediate support to enable

survivors to find safety and live

lives free of abuse. StrongHearts

Native Helpline is a project of the

National Indigenous Women’s

Resource Center and the National

Domestic Violence Hotline.

MMIW Resources

As a helpline dedicated to Native Americans and Alaska Natives

impacted by domestic, dating and

sexual violence, StrongHearts

honors our relatives and communities impacted by MMIW and

those working to end this crisis.

The Winnebago Tribal Council is 100% AGAINST Meth. Not only is Meth

harmful to the individual, it destroys families and our community. Meth

use is not the HoChunk/Winnebago way of life. On 12-30-19, during the

Winnebago Mid-monthly Tribal Council meeting, a motion was passed to

publish all meth related offenses occurring on the Winnebago reservation,

in the Winnebago Indian News.

The following individual(s) has been arrested for a meth offense…

Gordon Dick – 44

Charged with possession of a dangerous drug, possession of paraphernalia x2

WINNEBAGO BENEFITING FROM

RENEWABLE ENERGY

WINNEBAGO, Neb. – Wind turbines and solar panels are all part of a longterm effort to make the Winnebago community self-sufficient when it comes to

its energy needs.

So far, those steps have helped the community save $250,000 with those

funds being redirected toward supporting community programs.

A 2018 expansion project increased the community’s solar capacity from

400kW to 742kW, reinforcing Winnebago’s status as one of Nebraska’s largest

renewable energy infrastructures and officials predict the panels fully paying

for themself within seven years.

“Being able to save ourselves money while also increasing our energy independence and doing our part to help the environment is a phenomenal achievement,” said Willy Bass, Ho-Chunk, Inc.’s Community Engagement & Impact

Manager. “We try to be good stewards of the land and, hopefully, inspire others

to do their part.”’

Renewable efforts in Winnebago date back to 2007 when Ho-Chunk, Inc.

installed five wind turbines at its properties to offset energy use.

Since then, about 2,400 solar panels have been installed across the community at sites including the Blackhawk Community Center, Ho-Chunk, Inc.’s

accounting offices, two Pony Express convenience stores and other tribal businesses.

Over the projected 20-year lifetime of the solar panels, the Winnebago community is projected to save about $2.5 million dollars. The panels also have

offset 1,920 tons of CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to the consumption of

4,445 barrels of oil.

###

Ho-Chunk, Inc.’s mission is to drive the socio-economic development of the

Winnebago people through a world-class tribally-owned company. Founded in

1994 with one employee, Ho-Chunk, Inc. has grown into a diversified corporation with numerous subsidiaries and over 1,000 employees from a variety of

ethnic backgrounds and skill sets. Our award-winning business model reinvests in the Winnebago Tribe through programs including employment, housing, education and health. For more information about Ho-Chunk, Inc., visit

The Winnebago community’s investment in renewable resources – including boasting

more than 2,400 solar panels – has helped it save almost $250,000 in a little more than a

decade.

Solar development technician Robert Byrnes talks about one of the solar arrays in Winnebago, which are part of an effort to increase the community’s energy sovereignty.

American Legion Post 363 is one of more than a dozen sites in Winnebago affixed with

solar panels, which have generated significant financial savings for the community while

also reducing CO2.

Renewable efforts such as wind turbines and solar panels have helped the Winnebago

community save nearly $250,000 since 2007 and removed 1,920 CO2 emissions.
