After months of fundraising efforts, eight students and three leaders from the White Earth Tribal
& Community College (WETCC) were prepared to
travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin in March, where they
would actively participate and compete in the annual
conference of the American Indian Higher Education
Consortium (AIHEC).
AIHEC is a group that represents the nation’s 37
Tribal Colleges and Universities with the goal of
strengthening tribal nations and ultimately making a
lasting difference in the lives of American Indians
and Alaskan Natives. WETCC students are relatively
new to the AIHEC scene; however, this year, they

were determined to be a mighty force that represented their college with honor and pride.
Preparation for AIHEC began many months ago
with students determining which events they would
participate in. Once those events were identified, students began to do artwork, prepare speeches, read the
required books for Knowledge Bowl, and practice for
the Hand Game Competitions. When the fundraising,
planning, and preparation was finally complete, students were ready to begin their journey to Green Bay
to compete at the AIHEC Conference.
Students were immediately posed with fierce
completion, after all, WETCC is the smallest tribal
college represented at AIHEC. However, whereas the
student number may be small, WETCC did, in fact,
prove to be a mighty force to be reckoned with.
Perhaps nowhere was this more evident than in the
Knowledge Bowl Competition, where led by their
coach and WETCC faculty member Nyleta Belgarde,
they put WETCC on the competition radar.
After losing their first round in Knowledge
Bowl, the WETCC team rallied and gained momentum with each round thereafter. Each time they won,
their confidence level grew. WETCC students came
from the bottom and literally rose to the top where
they would compete in the championship rounds of
competition. Students worked together, studied, and
placed fourth in the final round putting WETCC on
the radar as a college that strives for academic excellence.
“Without dedicated faculty, and the desire for
strong academics, competitions and trips like these

American Indian Veterans Plaque
Governor Mark Dayton signed the bill for the
American Indian Veteran’s plaque to be placed in the Court
of Honor at the Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs in
St. Paul. When the plaque is unveiled, I have requested a
ceremony for our American Indian veterans with Governor
Dayton, Commissioner of Veteran Affairs, legislators, and
tribal leaders present.
It has taken seven years to get the bill through the State
Legislature for the American Indian Veterans plaque.
Every year there was disagreement in the Legislature on
why a plaque only for American Indian veterans; why not
add other ethnic veterans to the plaque?
I wanted a plaque specifically for American Indian veterans for good reason. American Indians have served in the
United States Armed Forces proportionately higher than
any population in this country, long before American
Indians were granted U.S. citizenship in 1924. Our
American Indian veterans deserved their own plaque of
honor. I am thankful the bill passed and the Governor
signed it.
Welcome Terry Janis
Terry Janis has been hired as the White Earth
Constitutional Reform Manager. He will prepare us for
Referendum on the Constitution of the White Earth Nation.
Welcome, Terry.
Education
Recently area school superintendents, White Earth
tribal departments, Minnesota State University Moorhead
(MSUM) research team, Minnesota Department of
Education (MDE), and I heard the findings of the White
Earth Study on Education, Phase 2. Phase 1 was completed in 2007.
I thank Drs. Boyd Bradbury, MSUM and Brent Gish
for meeting with me in 2004 to propose a comprehensive
study on education for the White Earth Reservation, a study
with data, statistics, findings, and strategies to address the
disparities of our Indian students in area schools. I thank
Joan LaVoy and the White Earth Education Department for
coordinating the many meetings on the study. I thank area
school superintendents and our tribal departments for their
involvement. It takes cooperation from many stakeholders
to conclude a 1,200 page study.
The study had my wholehearted support and involvement. The necessary systemic change for our Indian students in schools and communities only happens when we
have the research, data, and evidence to show what and
how to change. It is my goal that the study will be the
beginning of the model to reform Indian education in
Minnesota. In a future article, I will share key findings and
strategies for implementation.
Congratulations to Graduates
Congratulations to all graduates who will receive
diplomas, degrees, and certificates. Graduation is always a
joyful event, a time to celebrate accomplishment. I am
proud of you!
Constitutional Reform
Educational team will visit communities, host seminar
By Terry Janis and Jill Doerfler
In December 2012, White Earth Tribal Council
announced that they were awarded a grant from the Bush
Foundation for constitutional reform. The grant is for
$379,771 and White Earth matched $10,394, which brings
the total to $390,165. In 2007 the White Earth Nation
embarked upon a formal process of constitutional reform
and this grant will fund the final stage of the effort.
There have been several efforts for constitutional
reform at White Earth in recent decades. Each of these
efforts has built a foundation upon each other and made
important contributions.
In her 2007 State of the Nation address, Chairwoman
Erma J. Vizenor responded to calls from citizens to address
constitutional reform and announced her intention to formally begin efforts for constitutional reform at White
Earth. The goal was the creation of a constitution for the
White Earth Nation that would enact Anishinaabe values
and envision a perpetual future as well as create an effective governance structure, including separation of powers.
Each of the 10 Community Councils appointed two
delegates to attend the Constitutional Convention. White
Earth citizens at large were also invited to apply to become
Constitutional Delegates; all who applied and who were at
least 18 years of age were accepted as a delegate. Each of
the delegates was sworn in by the Honorable Judge Anita
Fineday at the opening of the Constitutional Convention.
Between 2007 and 2009, White Earth convened four
Constitution Conventions, which were all open to the public. The Conventions included open comment periods, presentations, and lengthy discussions on major issues including governance structure, separation of powers, and citizenship requirements.
Shortly after the third convention, Chairwoman
Vizenor selected a Constitutional Proposal Team with
Delegate Gerald Vizenor assigned as the lead writer of the
draft document. The entire team worked to ensure the wishes expressed by Delegates were reflected in the document.
At the April 2009 Convention, Constitutional
Delegates ratified the constitution. Since ratification, White
Earth has been considering the best way in which to proceed with a referendum. After careful planning and consideration, White Earth decided to approach the Bush
Foundation for the funds needed to prepare White Earth citizens for the referendum and to hold the referendum itself.
An experienced educator and attorney, Terry Janis, has
been hired as the Constitutional Reform Project Manager
and will oversee the citizen education and engagement
effort. The primary goal is to reach as many White Earth
citizens as possible with information describing and
explaining the constitution so that they will be prepared to
make their decision at the time of the referendum.
Janis will work with Jill Doerfler and a team of educators to create educational materials on the constitution and
to bring this information to the citizens of the White Earth
Nation. The Constitution with summaries and explanations
will be published in a special issue of the Anishinaabeg
Today as well as shared at whiteearth.com and on facebook.
This constitutional education team will come to the
communities on White Earth and to White Earth citizens

White Earth enrollee Barb Fabre (center with arms crossed) recently attended the
National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services (NACRHHS) at the
Hospice and Palliative Care of Western Colorado, Grand Junction, Colo. The
NACRHHS is a 21-member citizens’ panel of nationally recognized rural health experts
that provides recommendations on rural issues to the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services. The Committee was chartered in 1987 to advise the
Secretary of HHS on ways to address health care problems in rural America. It was
expanded to 21 members in 2002 and charged with focusing on both health and human
service issues in rural areas. This meeting marked the 73rd meeting since charted in
1987. The Committee is chaired by former Mississippi Governor Ronnie Musgrove. The
Committee’s private and public-sector members reflect wide-ranging, first-hand experience with rural issues -- in medicine, nursing, administration, finance, law, research,
business, public health, aging, welfare and human service issues.

Get more out of your garden than fresh produce
By Kim Turner
White Earth Health Education Program
Although it seems like our winter is never ending
this year, spring will be here shortly and that means
time to start planning our gardens. Gardening has a
lot more to offer people than just the obvious-fresh
fruits and veggies; it has several health benefits as
well.
1. Gardening is a form of exercise. The physical
benefits of gardening are often discounted because
people don’t think of it as “real” exercise. Did you
know that you can burn as many calories in 45 minutes of gardening as you can in 30 minutes of aerobics? By gardening you are using different muscle
groups and increasing your flexibility and strength.
2. Working in the garden will reduce stress. We
are all so connected by technology that we sometimes
forget about how to connect with Mother Nature and
slow our pace down for a few minutes each day.
Being outside, digging in the dirt, pulling weeds can
be a great stress relief.
3. Family time-this is a great way to get kids up
and moving instead of sitting in front of the TV or
computer too. Think about it, this is great exercise
and stress relievers for us and with kid’s hectic schedules, stresses from school and friends they need it too.
This could become a good teaching moment, time to
have a real conversation or just quiet time out in the
fresh air.
4. Brain power! Gardening also releases our creative side, often without even realizing it. Planning
the garden for the year, choosing flower colors and
plant palettes, and arranging the fresh flowers from
your garden all require you to use creativity
5. Gardening will also provide extra food for the
family and possibly extra money too. If you have
extra produce, you could sell it at your local Farmers’
Markets.
The White Earth Community Farmers’ Market
will be open again in Mahnomen from June-October.
Families that have extra locally grown foods, plants,
flowers can be a vendor for the season or even just for
a day and make some extra money for their families.
The Farmers’ Markets will be also accepting
SNAP and WIC vouchers this year too.
For more information please contact Kim Turner,
White Earth Health Education Program, at 218-9833286 Ext. 1359.

Mark Anthony Rolo
Interview with a Minnesota Book Award finalist
By Holly Ristau
WETCC Library Director
White Earth Tribal & Community College
English teacher, Mark Anthony Rolo has had his first
book nominated for two prestigious Minnesota
Literature awards. The book is My Mother Is Now
Earth, published by Borealis Books. Mark Anthony
is an enrolled member of the Bad River Band of the
Lake Superior Chippewa.
This book takes place during the last years of
your mother’s life and the early years of your life.
How did you first decide to write about this?
I was working on my MFA and taking a course
on nature writing. I was out in the woods and felt this
real connection. In putting this connection down on
paper, it transformed into a connection with my
mother. I was able to take that connection out of the
forest and go into a dingy little room to finish the
book. For a month and a half, all I did was write.
Nothing interfered with my concentration. I just
wrote and finished the book. There was very little
editing done to that final copy.
tiqued it for me. I eventually self-published on the
internet. It’s called The Wonder Bull. I am working
on a new play called Buckskin for a Bride, which I
hope to have produced in the Twin Cities next year.
I made PBS documentary interviewing the
descendants of Native families who were relocated to
Los Angeles called Seat of the Drum. In 2009 and
2010 I went to Mozambique, Africa, where I taught
community-based journalism and helped communities put videos of what was happening in their communities on You-tube, to publicize what was really
happening, rather than what the government was
claiming to accomplish.
Do you think writing this book made you a
better teacher?
It made me a better human being. I have more
compassion. After sending the book in, I went out for
a walk, feeling dazed. I watched a couple with kids at
an ice-cream stand and I knew what they were going
through. Now that transfers to students. It makes me
want to be empathetic.

How did you approach this painful subject?
I did not want to dwell on the idea of a “shattered
little boy.” I didn’t want to focus on what everyone
already knew. This wasn’t about unresolved grief or
open wounds. The grieving process had happened a
long time ago, so this project turned into a process of
discovery. In the writing of this book, I felt like I got
to know her so much better. I feel like I’ve gotten to
know my mother.
How did your family feel about your book?
Well, first of all, I wouldn’t have written this
book if my dad was still alive. I was scared to death
to see how the rest of the family would feel, but they
have been totally ok about it. They feel that I brought
honor and dignity to my mother’s life. All of my siblings knew mom had a hard life, and had some quirks
all her own. We all have good memories. Writing
this book was always walking the line between pride
and shame.
Was this the first time you have been published?
I’m primarily a playwright. I have written plays
for the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and I got to participate in the Sundance Screenwriters workshop.
While living in Los Angeles in 2003, I had a one-man
play that I turned into a novel. Louise Erdrich criWhite Earth Tribal &

National Congress of American Indians
releases analysis of Obama Administration budget
Washington, DC – The National Congress of
American Indians (NCAI) has released an in-depth
analysis of President Obama’s 2014 Budget Request.
The organization is deeply concerned about proposed
cuts that threaten recent progress in critical areas.
The most concerning budget cuts include: unilateral
reductions in contract support services – legally
binding costs for services delivered by tribes in place
of the federal government, education and school construction cuts, and reduced spending on low-income
housing.
“We see signs of hope in the President’s proposal to replace the sequester and expand investments to
enhance tribal law enforcement and strengthen the
Indian Health Service but now is not time to slow the
progress we have seen in Indian Country. The federal government must live up to its obligations in critical trust responsibility areas like contract support
costs, education, and housing,” said Jefferson Keel,
President of NCAI. “We’ve experienced decades of
the federal government falling short, and while we
understand the limitations of the federal government,
the federal trust responsibility to tribal nations and
our peoples, is not a line item.”
NCAI and tribes have called for the sequester to
be replaced, since it threatens the trust responsibility
and reduces portions of the budget that are not major
contributors to the deficit. Promising signs in the
President’s budget request, include the following
actions to strengthen tribal nations:
Public Safety: Increases for public safety initiatives in Department of Justice and Bureau of Indian
Affairs.
IHS: A small overall increase in the IHS budget
and increases for IHS contract health services.
EPA: An increase for Environmental Protection
Agency’s General Assistance Program.
Natural Resources (BIA): $32 million in
increases for natural resource programs in BIA.
Carcieri: Language to provide a no-cost economic development and jobs creation solution for
restoring land to tribal governments impacted by the
Carcieri Supreme Court decision is included in the
Department of Interior general provisions of the
President’s budget.
NCAI will work to ensure that the federal pro-
grams that fulfill the trust responsibility to tribes
receive bipartisan support in the appropriations
process.
On April 10, the President released a $3.78 trillion budget for FY 2014, which would cut $1 trillion
in spending and raise $800 billion in new revenue
over the next ten years. This broadcast provides a
preliminary analysis of the President’s FY 2014 budget request, highlighting impacts on funding for
Indian programs. In the coming weeks, the
President’s budget will be reviewed by Congress, and
appropriations subcommittees will continue holding
hearings on the proposals. In January of this year,
NCAI released its FY 2014 tribal budget recommendations, which can be compared to the
Administration’s budget.
About The National Congress of American
Indians
Founded in 1944, the National Congress of
American Indians is the oldest, largest and most representative American Indian and Alaska Native organization in the country. NCAI advocates on behalf of
tribal governments and communities, promoting
strong tribal-federal government-to-government
policies, and promoting a better understanding
among the general public regarding American Indian
and Alaska Native governments, people and rights.

White Earth Council of Elders
By Leonard Wells
Chairman, White Earth Council of Elders
Well, you know our weather is getting on our nerves whenever the hard core northern Minnesota people start complaining
about it. At my house in Waubun, I’ve had snow on the ground
since the first of November!
As I write this column it’s snowing hard. All you readers living in the costa areas of the nation rally should spend at least on
winter up here. You can tell by reading the letters to the editors in
area newspapers that these writers are suffering from a bad case of
Cabin Fever.
In less that two months the Windom Steps State Conference
will be held at the Shooting Star Casino. At this time there is
about 450 elders from around the state that can attend. I’m sorry
to say only 27 from White Earth are qualified to attend.
The conferences are held somewhere in the state each year so
if you want to attend next year get qualified!
There is a Honoring Our Mother’s Pow-Wow May 11-12 and
the 145th White Earth Pow-Wow will be held June 14-16. Both of
these pow-wows are must-attend events.
To keep up with what’s going on around the Rez make sure
you read this paper from front to back. This paper is not only
entertaining, but highly informative. I’ve found that radio station
KKWE 89.9 as a good spot for daily information on happenings
of Indian Country. I also enjoy most of their music. At my age
I’m not really in to rap. Sorry!
As I’m promoting mood this month, please take the time to
attend a church dinner, community council bingo, or any other
benefit event.
At this time I’m too angry to express my views about the
shootings, bombings and so called industrial accidents, maybe
next month.
Scams are still hot items out there. Remember, you haven’t
won a lottery, none of your family is in jail out of the country, and
no bank examiner will call about bank business. Don’t be
“Minnesota Nice” - hang up without saying a word. Sorry to say
scammers can be family members or friends.
Untill next month, be safe and I hope the icy dangers are a
thing of the past.

the documentary are George Ross, Myrna Smith and Joe Bush.
President Obama’s proposed fiscal year 2014
budget authority for the Indian Health Service
includes a 2.9 percent increase. The proposed IHS
budget appropriation request is $4.4 billion. This is a
$124 million increase over the FY 2012 appropriation. Tribal consultation is fundamental to the IHS
budget process, and the proposed budget incorporates tribal priorities and recommendations.
The budget request supports and expands the
provision of health care services and public health
programs for American Indians and Alaska Natives.
It includes these approximate increases:
• $35 million to help purchase health care from
the private sector through the Contract Health
Services program, which is under proposal to be
called the Purchased/Referred Care program.
• $77.3 million to support staffing and operating
costs at new and replacement facilities
• $5.8 million to fund contract support costs
incurred by tribes in managing their own health programs.
Funding was also included to continue construction of a health care facility in Kayenta, Ariz., and to
complete construction of a health care facility in San
Carlos, Ariz., and the Southern California Youth
Regional Treatment Center near Hemet, Calif.
If the proposed budget is enacted, the IHS dis-
cretionary budget will have increased 32 percent
since FY 2008.
The IHS, an agency in the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 2.1 million American Indians and Alaska Natives
who are members of federally recognized tribes.

THE DOCTOR’S CORNER
Hepatitis C
By Dr. Manuel Plaza, IM
White Earth Mental Health Department
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem
in the USA, approximately 4 million people are infected. Hepatitis
C is the principal cause of death from liver disease and the leading
indication for liver transplants in the USA.
The majority of people with HCV acquired their infection
through:
1. Blood transfusion and organ transplant prior 1992.
2. Intravenous drug use.
3. Infant born to infected mothers.
4. Sexual transmission.
5. Intranasal cocaine use, tattooing and body piercing.
6. Healthcare/public safety workers after unknown exposure.
Most of the patients with HCV are asymptomatics, 70-85 percent of the people infected develop chronic disease and progress to
liver failure, cirrhosis or liver cancer (hepatoma), 15-30 percent
present spontaneous clearance and don’t develop liver disease or
cancer.
The HCV diagnosis is made with a blood test, anti-HCV,
become positive 4-10 weeks after the infection.
After the infection the patient will need a liver function test
and other blood tests to count how many viruses are in the body,
(HCV-RNA).
The patient will need an evaluation with a gastroenterologist
or hepatologist, to make the decision about treatment.
The treatment for HCV is a combination of two medicines;
peginterferon (injection) and ribabirin (pill) for 48 weeks. The
patient will need close follow up with his PCP or gastroenterology
because treatment can produce multiples adverse reactions and
complications. If the patient starts treatment he cannot drink alcohol, or use drugs.
Patient with Hepatitis C:
! Do not donate blood, organs or semen.
! Do not share personal items like toothbrushes, dental appliances, nail-grooming equipment, razors, etc.
! Cover cuts and open skin lesions.
Hepatitis C is not spread by sneezing, hugging ,coughing, food
or water, share eating utensils, drinking glasses or casual contact.
Individuals with the virus should not be excluded from work,
school, play, childcare.
If you want more information about hepatitis C, visit your
provider and ask.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Assuming her responsibilities as the 51st Secretary of the Interior, Sally
Jewell is spent her first full day in the office meeting
some of the Department’s more than 70,000 employees. She also began to hold meetings on important
issues before the Department, including energy
development, conservation, Indian Affairs and
youth engagement.
During brief remarks to employees who greeted
Secretary Jewell as she entered the main Interior
building in Washington, D.C., Jewell underscored
her commitment to public service.
“There is no higher calling than public service,
and I am honored and humbled to be serving as your
Secretary of the Interior,” Jewell said. “At Interior,
we have vast responsibilities to the American people,
from making smart decisions about the natural
resources with which we have been blessed, to honoring our word to American Indians and Alaska
Natives.”
“Our public lands are huge economic engines for
the nation,” added Jewell. “From energy development to tourism and outdoor recreation, our lands
and waters power our economy and create jobs. I
look forward to working with you all to ensure that
we are managing our public lands wisely so that their
multiple uses are available for the generations to
come.”
Jewell was officially sworn in April 12 at the
Supreme Court of the United States. Retired Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor administered the oath of
office. O'Connor and Jewell worked together on the
National Parks Second Century Commission, an
independent commission charged with developing a
twenty-first century vision for the National Park
Service.
As Secretary of the Interior, Jewell leads an
agency with more than 70,000 employees. Interior
serves as steward for approximately 20 percent of the
nation’s lands, including national parks, national
wildlife refuges, and other public lands; oversees the
responsible development of conventional and renew-
able energy supplies on public lands and waters; is
the largest supplier and manager of water in the 17
Western states; and upholds trust responsibilities to
the 566 federally recognized American Indian tribes
and Alaska Natives.
Prior to her confirmation, Jewell served in the
private sector, most
recently as President and
Chief Executive Officer
of Recreation Equipment,
Inc. (REI). Jewell joined
REI as Chief Operating
Officer in 2000 and was
named CEO in 2005.
During her tenure, REI
nearly tripled in business
Sally Jewell
to $2 billion and was consistently ranked one of the 100 best companies to
work for by Fortune Magazine.
Before joining to REI, Jewell spent 19 years as a
commercial banker, first as an energy and natural
resources expert and later working with a diverse
array of businesses that drive our nation’s economy.
Trained as a petroleum engineer, Jewell started
her career with Mobil Oil Corp. in the oil and gas
fields of Oklahoma and the exploration and production office in Denver, Colo. where she was exposed
to the remarkable diversity of our nation’s oil and gas
resources.
Over her career, Jewell has worked to ensure that
public lands are accessible and relevant to all people
from all backgrounds.
“We have a generation of children growing up
without any connection to nature,” said Jewell.
“From our urban parks to the vast lands of the BLM,
the Department of the Interior is well positioned to
build a deep and enduring connection between the
great outdoors and a new generation of Americans.”
Jewell is a graduate of the University of
Washington. She and her husband, Warren, have two
adult children, Peter and Anne.

Once-lost photographs go on display in Bemidji
State University American Indian Resource Center
BEMIDJI - Old photos and glass plates lay abandoned,
dirty and dusty, for years before being found one day by
David Cooper in his parent’s photo studio at 406 Beltrami
Avenue.
The photographs belonged to an émigré from
Denmark, Niels Larson Hakkerup, who set up his studio in
Bemidji around 1900 – eventually operating studios in
three locations within the town. In 1908, a fire at the 113
Third St. studio destroyed much of the work of the then
renowned Hakkerup, who was considered to be one of the
leading portrait photographers of American Indians.
Hakkerup composed his portraits with a painterly eye,
using light to focus the eye on beadwork, clothing and hair
styles. The photos in a collection to be unveiled Thursday
at the American Indian Resource Center include members
of the Leech Lake and Red Lake Nations.
Cooper’s parents, Aza and Miriam, purchased the
Hakkerup studio on Beltrami Avenue in 1946. The photographic plates were found in the rubble left by Hakkerup
after the sale. The Cooper Studio had on display four of the
original photos by the man whose work is on record at the
Smithsonian, the Library of Congress Collection of
American Indian Photographs, Minnesota Historical
Society and the Beltrami County Historical Society.
The exhibit at Bemidji State, which includes 22 large
photos and several smaller prints, taken between 1900 and
1915, will become part of the permanent art collection at
the American Indian Resource Center.
Former president of BSU, Jon Quistgaard, is friendly
with school-mate David Cooper and spearheaded the effort
to have the photos mounted for display. He also asked his
friend if he would donate the photos to the university,
specifically to the IRC.
Local framer Mark LaFond was commissioned to
build the frames and supervise their placement in the exhibit. The black and white prints show a part of the history of
Ojibwe leaders in this area who lived during the great
migration from Europe to these lands.
The picture of the man the people called Chief
Bemidji, and for whom the town is named, is well known.
As an added bonus, an original glass plate of Chief Bemidji
that can be illuminated with a switch will be on display.
Dominating the exhibit are photographs of Leech Lake
elder John Smith. Smith, who died in 1922 at a reputed 137
years of age, was born before the existence of the United
States. He saw the first French fur traders and by the time
he passed away, the land had been transformed through logging, mining, and the growth of America.
“He lived through the French, British and American
regimes at a time when the Ojibwe and Dakota people were
sparring for the land,” said Anton Treuer, Ojibwe professor
at BSU. “You look at this deeply wrinkled, weathered face
and you just wonder what it was like to see all that transformation in one person’s life time.
“A photograph is more than just a pretty picture, it is a
window into history.”
The public is invited to attend the opening reception
featuring Jon Roemer, a flute player gifted in the music of
Native American culture. David and Kathy Cooper will be
the honored guests for their donation of the collection.
Bemidji State President Richard Hanson will be on hand to
formally accept the gift, and Treuer, executive director of
the IRC, will host the reception.
“We really appreciate this gesture throughout the
native community,” said Treuer, “and the Cooper family for
entrusting us to exhibit the work for the benefit of all people; native and non-native.”
Treuer feels it will provide opportunity for people to
understand more deeply the first people of this land. The
photos provide insight and also raise questions about who
were the first people of this region; how they experienced
life and what were they thinking.
It’s amazing what a gallon of paint can do to spruce up
a room. Now imagine what 481 gallons can do for a region.
That’s how much paint Minnesota-based Valspar
Corporation is giving this year to west central Minnesota as
part of its Minnesota Beautiful program.
Locally, 98 gallons of paint were awarded to the City
of Ogema to paint the interior walls and metal ceiling of the
community center.
“The Ogema community would like to thank the West
Central Initiative along with Valspar for the wonderful
opportunity that the Minnesota Beautiful grant has given
us,” said Lisa McArthur, contract administrator and purchasing supervisor for the White Earth Tribal Nation.
“Ogema has a strong base of community volunteers and we
are looking forward to painting the community center to
make it look new again.”
Ten organizations throughout the nine-county region
will receive paints, coatings and sealants from Valspar this
year. The 2013 grantees were selected based on the visual
impact of the project, public benefit to the community,
local volunteer participation and support, intended use of
the building and benefit to the needy. Projects that normally qualify include, but are not limited to, historic buildings,
senior citizen or handicapped facilities, community centers,
public buildings and murals.
To see a list of all the 2013 grantees, visit the West
Central Blogger at blog.wcif.org.
Minnesota Beautiful is administered regionally by
West Central Initiative, Fergus Falls. West Central
Initiative is a regional community foundation serving the
nine west central Minnesota counties of Becker, Clay,
Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse and
Wilkin. WCI invests resources in our communities for
regional success, using the tools of economic development
and community development, and by promoting philanthropy. Learn more at www.wcif.org.

Sacred Circle Family Recovery Project
is looking for community volunteers to provided support
Are you sober and in Recovery? Do you want to
give back to your community?
We need you! The Sacred Circle Family
Recovery (SCFR) Project is looking for volunteers.
We are building a community of Recovery Coaches
and Telephone Recovery Support people. This is a
rewarding and surefire way to strengthen your own
recovery.
The Recovery Coach provides one-to-one support for the person who is new to recovery. This service involves weekly contact, helping the client
define their goals for maintaining recovery, assisting
in their search for resources to attain those goals, and
general support for long term recovery.
The Telephone Recovery Support (TRS) person
makes a weekly phone check-in to the newly recovering person who has requested TRS. Telephone
recovery support is simply a call to ask how the
“recoveree” is doing. “How did you fare for the
week? Are you struggling with anything or tell me
what is new and good?” But most importantly the
call is to offer hope for living a life of sobriety and
recovery.
Qualifications vary for each position. The
Recovery Coach must have two years of continued
sobriety and be active in a recovery program. The
Sacred Circle Family Recovery Project will provide
training through its mentor organization, the
Southern Minnesota Recovery Connection (SMRC).
We ask the trainee to commit to three months of volunteer work with the SCFR Recovery Coach pro-
gram. And the Recovery Coach program will reward
the trainee with a stipend upon completion of the
training and at monthly intervals while volunteering.
Gas cards are available to offset travel expenses.
The Telephone Recovery Support program
requires six months of sobriety and participating in a
recovery program. This volunteer work involves
making weekly check-in calls to clients who have
requested the service. The calls will be made from
the Recovery Coach office in White Earth. We have
a client database, computer and phones set up for the
TRS person. Gas cards are available to offset travel
to our office.
The purpose of TRS is very important; we are
keeping in contact with the new recoveree. Isolation
and going it alone is common among the newly clean
and sober. And we offer hope to the recoveree
because we are recovering people too. We have
“been there, done that.” TRS training in office, on an
individual basis.
Please join us. Your experience is invaluable
and we need your help to build a Community of
Recovery!
Recovery Coach training dates and location are
listed below. These will be based upon participation.

Joise Stevens is Minn. pageant finalist
Josie Lynn Stevens, age 11, has been
chosen as a state finalist in the National
American Miss Minnesota pageant to be
held June 1-2 at Doubletree-Bloomington in

the Pre-Teen age division, along with other
outstanding young ladies across Minnesota.
The winner of the Pageant will receive
a $1,000 cash award, the official crown and
banner, a bouquet of roses, and air transportation to compete in the National Pageant

The National American Miss pageants
are dedicated to celebrating America’s future
leaders and equipping them with lifelong
skills. Each year the pageant nationally
awards $1.5 million in cash, scholarships

The National American Miss Pageants
are unlike any other. All activities and competitions are kept age appropriate. Girls
under the age of 12 are not allowed to wear
make up, and there’s no swimsuit competition. The Pageant program is based on inner
beauty, as well as poise and presentation,
and offers an “all American spirit of fun for
family and friends. Emphasis is put on the
importance of developing self confidence,
learning good sportsmanship, as well as setting and achieving personal goals. The
Pageant recognizes the accomplishments of
each girl while encouraging her to set goals
for her future.
Josie’s activities include softball, basketball, hunting, and riding a 4-wheeler. She
also enjoys being a spokesperson for the
local anti-bullying campaign where she
spreads anti-bullying messages to area elementary schools with Kim Turner and her

Budget
Anishinaabeg Today
17
from Page 5
The request also includes a $3.0 million programmatic increase in BIA Human Services to address
domestic violence in tribal communities. A partnership between BIA Human Services and Law
Enforcement will address the needs at tribal locations
with high levels of domestic violence. The initiative
will improve teamwork between law enforcement and
social services to more rapidly address instances of
domestic violence, and expand services that help stem
domestic violence in Indian Country and care for its
victims.
The FY 2014 budget request for Law
Enforcement Operations is $199.7 million, a $5.5 million programmatic increase over the FY 2012 enacted
level. The increased funding for Criminal
Investigations and Police Services will enable the BIA
to hire additional bureau and tribal law enforcement
personnel. The request includes $96.9 million for
Detention Center Operations, a program increase of
$13.4 million over the FY 2012 enacted level. The
additional funding for staffing, training and equipment
will strengthen BIA and tribal capacity to operate
existing and newly constructed detention facilities.
The request also includes $24.4 million for Tribal
Courts, an increase of $1.0 million above the 2012
enacted level. The funding will be used for judges,
prosecutors, public defenders, court clerks, probation
officers, juvenile officers, and support staff, as well as
for training and related operations and administrative
costs for tribal justice systems and Courts of Indian
Offenses.
The FY 2014 budget request also supports the
BIA’s successful pilot program, launched in 2010, that
carries out the President’s Priority Goal of reducing
violent crimes by at least five percent within 24
months on four initial reservations. The targeted,
intense community safety program successfully
reduced violent crime by an average of 35 percent
across the four reservations. In 2012, the program was
extended to two additional reservations. After a year,
the two new sites have experienced an increase in
reported crime – a trend similar to that seen at the initial four sites. The BIA will continue to support the
efforts of all six programs in 2014 with funding, technical assistance, monitoring and feedback.
Improving Trust Land Management
Taking land into trust is one of the most important
functions the Department undertakes on behalf of federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes, whose homelands are essential to their peoples’
health, safety and economic well-being. The BIA’s
trust programs assist tribes and individual Indian
landowners in the management, development and protection of trust lands and natural resource assets totaling about 55 million surface acres and 57 million acres
of subsurface mineral estates.
In 2012 and 2013, the Department undertook the
most substantial overhaul of the federal fee-to- trust
process in over half a century. In 2012, Interior placed
37,971 acres of land into trust on behalf of tribes and
individual Indians and approved 299 fee-to-trust
applications. Over the past four years, Indian Affairs
has processed more than 1,000 separate applications
and acquired over 196,600 acres of land in trust.
The FY 2014 budget request for the Trust –
Natural Resources Management program, which
assists tribes in managing, developing and protecting
their trust lands and natural resources, is $189.2 million, a programmatic increase of $34.4 million over
the FY 2012 enacted level. The increases support sustainable stewardship and development of natural
resources and will support resource management and
decision making in the areas of energy and minerals,
climate, oceans, water, rights protection, and endan-
gered and invasive species.
The FY 2014 budget request for Trust – Real
Estate Services is $128.9 million, a programmatic
increase of $7.7 million increase over the FY 2012
enacted level. This program carries out the BIA’s trust
services, probate, and land titles and records functions, as well incorporates the Department’s trust
reform improvement efforts. The request proposes a
$5.5 million increase to fund authorized activities
related to the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement
at $7.0 million and provides $1.5 million for litigation
support for Indian natural resource trust assets management.
Advancing Indian Education
The FY 2014 budget request for the Bureau of
Indian Education of $802.8 million, a program
increase of $6.7 million above the FY 2012 enacted
level, advances the Department’s continuing commitment to the education of American Indians and Alaska
Natives from the federally recognized tribes. The
Advancing Indian Education initiative addresses the
full spectrum of educational needs throughout Indian
Country from elementary through post secondary levels and adult education. The 2014 budget supports student academic achievement in BIE schools by initiating a $15.0 million pilot program to turnaround lower
performing elementary and secondary schools, provides $2.5 million in increased funding to meet the
needs of growing enrollment at tribal colleges, and
provides $3.0 million in new funding for a Science
Post- Graduate Scholarship Fund. The budget also
proposes an additional $2.0 million for tribal grant
support costs.
Achieving Better Results at a Lower Cost
Administrative Cost Savings Over the last few
years, Indian Affairs has taken significant steps to
reduce the administrative costs associated with the
wide range of services it delivers. In addition to $7.1
million in cost-saving measures from information
technology standardization and infrastructure consolidations, the FY 2014 budget request includes a reduction of $19.7 million to reflect anticipated cost savings
from streamlining operations. The request also
includes $13.8 million in savings from reductions to
contracts, fleet management, awards, and travel.
Indian Arts and Crafts Board The budget proposes to transfer the $1.3 million funding for the IACB
from the Office of the Secretary to Indian Affairs,
thereby allowing Indian Affairs to oversee the implementation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, as
amended, which contains both criminal and civil provisions to combat counterfeit activity in the American
Indian and Alaska Native arts and crafts market, and
the Board’s management of three museums in the
Plains Region dedicated to the promotion, integrity
and preservation of authentic American Indian art and
culture.
Indian Affairs’ responsibility to the federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes is
rooted in Article I, Section 8, of the United States
Constitution, as well as in treaties, executive orders,
and federal law. It is responsible for the management,
development and protection of Indian trust land and
natural resources, providing for public safety and justice in Indian Country, and promoting tribal self-determination and self-governance. Through the Bureau of
Indian Education, it funds 183 elementary and secondary day and boarding schools, of which two-thirds
are tribally operated, located on 64 reservations in 23
states and serving in School Year 2011-2012 a daily
average attendance of 41,000 students. It also provides funding to 27 tribal colleges and universities and
two tribal technical colleges, operates two post- secondary institutions of higher learning.

After a long, cold and snowy winter many people are
looking forward to getting out of the house and spending
more time outside. And for people who want to sleep under
the stars they have a place to bed down here on the reservation.
Little Elbow Lake Park sits on 1,200 acres over looking the blue waters of Little Elbow Lake. It is located a
short distance across Highway 113 from Big Elbow Lake
Village.
Once owned by the State of Minnesota, the Park was
turned over to the White Earth Nation in 1989. Minimum
maintenance was done on the Park for serveral years, but
recently a park committee has been formed and their mission is to turn Little Elbow Lake Park into a top-notch
recreational area for all individuals and families to enjoy.
The Park is basically divided in two sections, which
are separated by a grove of trees and brush - the Camping
Area and the Day Area.
The Day Area features a public boat ramp and a new
dock that was installed by the White Earth Department of
Natural Resources a couple summers ago. In 2012, a
24x36 foot shelter with a concrete floor was built with
funding by the White Earth Tribal Council and the White
Earth Housing Authority.
There are picnic tables available for people who want
to enjoy a meal outside and in case you drink a little too
much pop, a self-contained lavatory is available on site.
The Camping Area is located about 1/4 mile north
from the Day Area. It has several sites for people that want
to park a camper or pitch a tent for one night or several
days.
This section of the Park also features picnic tables, and
a self-contained lavatory. This summer a shelter, a little
smaller than the one in the Day Area will be constructed for
the benefit of the campers and visitors.
The maintenance and future projects for the Park is a
team effort according to White Earth Parks and Recreation
Coordinator Jeff Wark. He said several White Earth programs have done everything from improving the roads and
culverts to thinning out dead trees and brush.
Now that all the snow has almost melted away and the
temperatures are on the rise, Wark said he will soon start
cleaning up the mess caused by the elements of a harsh
winter.
Fees and Reservations
This year campers must reserve specific days by registering with the White Earth Land Department. You can call
them at 218-983-4650 or email [email protected].
New camping fees have also been initiated. There is
no cost for tribal members with a tribal ID, however nontribal members will be charged $10 per day. Groups will
be charged $50 per day.
Groups wishing to use the Day Area (daylight hours
only) must also call the White Earth Land Department for
reservations. The cost is $20 per day.

toured and competed extensively. Upon his graduation from
high school, he chased his dreams and began forming bands
in Louisville, reaching the pinnacle with his band, Nerves Jr.
In 2009, Jason was blessed with the birth of his daughter,
Locklyn. He moved to northern Minnesota in the fall of 2012
to come home and be close to his family. At the time of his
death, he was employed by Ice Cracking Lodge in rural

Preston Walz
Preston Walz, age 16 of Mahnomen, died suddenly of natural causes April 15 at
Sanford Health in Bagley.
Preston Lee Walz was born Aug. 14, 1996, in Detroit Lakes to Anitra Walz and
Richard Thompson. As a youngster, Preston lived in various communities with his mom
before they settled in Mahnomen. He attended both elementary and high school in
Mahnomen, where he was a proud Mahnomen Indian playing both basketball and football.
Preston was always busy working odd jobs with friends,
doing yard work, picking rocks, and helping neighbors. In
2011, Preston started dating Cali Dukek and they have shared
two wonderful years together. Since the fall of 2012, he had
made his home in Bagley.
Preston had a huge heart and an awesome personality. He
was able to make friends everywhere and truly cherished
those closest to him. He was especially protective of his sister, Audra, and had a special place in his heart for all little
kids. He liked to go hunting, enjoying the time with family
while in the woods and out at Pinehurst Lake. Preston was a
dedicated athlete and was most often found in the gym working out and lifting weights. He was also talented artist and created beautiful drawings. He loved to hang out with friends, go
to movies, and shopping trips to Bemidji. Preston also enjoyed playing guitar and listening to music, as well as playing Play Station III and video games. Above all, Preston loved
spending time with Cali. His time was too short and he will be missed by many.
Preston is survived by his mother, Anitra Walz (Isaac Littlewolf) of Mahnomen; his

Almost 40 reservation youth recently gathered together in Mahnomen to plant traditional tobacco seeds.
Youth plant traditional tobacco seeds
The Youth Councils of the Boys and
Girls Clubs of the White Earth Reservation
representing Mahnomen, Naytahwaush,
Callaway, White Earth, Pine Point and Rice
Lake met April 6 at the Mahnomen club site
and planted traditional tobacco seeds.
Gina Boudreau, Tobacco Prevention
Specialist, educated the 37 youth attending
about traditional tobacco, its uses and how
to grow and harvest the seeds. The White
Earth Tribal Health Education Department
purchased mini portable greenhouses and
provided the seeds and soil.
Copies of the book, “Walking Toward
the Sacred: Our Great Lakes Tobacco
Story” written by Isaiah Brokenleg and
Elizabeth Tornes were given to the clubs
and Gina shared tobacco’s past, which
talked about tobacco stories and teachings,
tobacco’s present, which talked about
restoring tradition and reducing harms, and
tobacco’s future which talked about a future
where commercial tobacco is not used and
where traditional culture is preserved and
honored.
The Boys and Girls Clubs would like
to thank the White Earth Tribal Health
Education Department and Gina for spending time with the Youth Councils and for
providing this very valuable lesson.

“To Those O Love and Those Who Love Me”
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you cannot guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories in your heart.
I won’t be far away for life goes on;
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see me, I’ll be there.
And if you listen with your heart you’ll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and “Welcome Home.”
Forever in our hearts,
Love your family,
Mom, Dad, Erica, Karissa, Austin

Pickled Northern
By Colleen Blattenbauer
SNAP Program
This is for the fishermen who would like to do
something different with the northern’s they caught
when ice fishing this winter. Warning - this recipe
came from my recipe box, so this is not USDA
approved :)
Here is what you will need:
Quart jar, lid and ring
Northern
Canning salt
White onion
White vinegar
½ cup sugar
1 Tbsp. canning salt
2 Tbsps. Pickling spice
Start out with a clean quart jar. I like to boil the
jar, lid and ring for a few minutes and set them on a
clean towel, so they are cooled before filling.
Before pickling the Northern’s, soak the fish
overnight in a bowl of cold water and canning salt
strong enough to float an egg. Really, I want you to
float an egg in salt water, but make sure the egg is
fresh as a spoiled egg will float without the salt.
The next day rinse the fish with cold water 5 to 6
times. Cut the fish up into bite size pieces. Fill a quart
jar ¾ full of fish and fresh sliced white onions.
Alternate the fish and onion. Fill the jar with white
vinegar and add ½ cup of sugar, 1 Tablespoon of canning salt and 2 Tablespoons of pickling spice. Put
cover on jar. Shake the jar to get the sugar, salt and
spices mixed. Let stand 1-2 weeks. Keep in refrigerator. Shake the jar each day. The pickled fish are ready
to eat in 1 week 4 days.
Enjoy!!

And he'll always be MY DAD

Thank you/In Memory
First, I would like to give a huge heartfelt thank you to
Cassie and Wynn, Glenda and Greg and all the Aschtgen families,
Julie and George and all the Hamer families, Jim and Bobbi and
all the Donner families and all the Teiken families, for all the great
care, unconditional love, support, and prayers you all gave to
Shawn (Teiken), not just in the last 14 months, but throughout a
lifetime of 37 years.
Also, many heartfelt thanks to all the friends of these families of Shawn, and to Shawn’s extended family of doctors and all
the staff at all the hospitals from Minneapolis to Fargo, the dialysis unit, and emmanuel nursing home, and to anyone I may have
forgot to thank. Thank you, as Shawn was a very special, unique
individual.
I have many precious memories of Shawn and all of our families here today. Shawn was not always easy but he could truly
challenge us as people. I loved listening to your very distinct
voice, your youthful eyes always filled with a brightness, a mischievous essence of wit and comical sense of humor, your little
Shawn grin that appeared to everyone you spoke with, that presence of your liveliness that filled all our hearts with endless happiness and laughter as could come only from you. I will always
remember your gifted artistic talents. You were as artistic as Julie,
it was always amazing to watch you both create art. I also
enjoyed watching you, Wynn, and Jim fixing motorcycles and
cars together. Wynn was the only kid I knew at 3 years old that
knew what wrench was for fixing whatever you were working on,
and was right in there fixing with you both.
Family gatherings and holidays will never be the same but I
want you to know that we will keep your tradition going on placing bets every Christmas at grannies to see how late Mae Ann is
going to be at getting there. I will bet for you this Christmas and
if you win we will give it to “little” Wynn for you.
As I laid tobacco down in prayer for Shawn today, into the
winds breath, I know that Shawn will find peace at the hands of
the Star-Maker in the Star-World. In his journey now I believe
Shawn would say to us - “There is no need to cry for me, because
now I finally see that there is a special place for all of us to be. I
rode that biker highway with an open throttle all the way, determined to ride free and just be me. And now I know the creator
has other plans for me. So I want you to smile for me today
because when tomorrow starts without me I want you to know
that everything will be OK because my memories will live on
within each of you each and every day. And now I am finally at
peace so until we meet again …ride on!”
Book
from Page 6
Your book was nominated for the Minnesota Book
Award and the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award.
What recognition has been the most meaningful to you?
Well, the personal responses from people who have
felt a real connection with this book have been the most
rewarding. And I’ve had some very good book reviews in
the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Indian Country Today and
the Twin Cities Daily Planet.
We’ll end with the comment ending a quote from
the review by Mary Turck of the Twin Cities Daily
Planet:
“Whether the memoir is read as a struggle of women,
or Indians, or families in poverty, it's a moving story with
a human complexity that includes and transcends categories.”

Public Notice
NOTICE OF FINAL AGENCY
DETERMINATION TO
TAKE LAND “IN TRUST”
SUMMARY: The Superintendent, Minnesota Agency, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior, on the below date,
made a final agency determination to acquire 37.75 acres, more or
less, of land “IN TRUST” for the White Earth Band of Chippewa
Indians of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.
DATE: This determination was made on April 16, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Ms. Anne K.
Garrigan, Lead Realty Specialist, Minnesota Agency, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, 522 Minnesota Avenue NW, Bemidji, Minnesota
56601, telephone: (218) 751-2011.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published
to comply with the requirement of 25 CFR 151.12(b) that notice
be given to the public of the decision by the authorized representative of the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land "in trust" at
least 30 days prior to signatory acceptance of land “in trust.” The
purpose of the 30-day waiting period in 25 CFR 151.12(b) is to
afford interested parties the opportunity to seek judicial review of
administrative decisions to take land "in trust" for tribes or individual Indians before transfer of title to the property occurs. On
April 16, 2013, the Superintendent, Minnesota Agency, decided to
accept 37.75 acres, more or less, of land “in trust” for the White
Earth Band of Chippewa Indians of the Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe, pursuant to the White Earth Land Settlement; Pub. L. 99264, Mar. 24, 1986, 100 stat. 61, as amended by Pub. L. 100-153,
Sec 6(a), (b), Nov.5, 1987, 101 Stat 887, Pub. L. 100-212, Sec. 4,
Dec. 24, 1987, 101 Stat. 1443, Pub. L. 101-301, Sec. 8, May 24,
1990, 104 Stat. 210, Pub. L. 102-572, title IX, Sec. 902(b)(2), Oct.

Earth Reservation Land Settlement Act of 1985.’

his way to a 3-1 record. He has fought in three weight
classes - Middleweight (185 lbs.), Welterweight (170
lbs.), and Lightweight (155 lbs.). He is perhaps best
known nationally for his fight on MavTV against Josh
Maudrie at a King of the Cage event.
Together, Kevin and Blake have won numerous
awards such as Fighter of the Night, Fight of the
Night, Submission of the Night, and Knockout of the
Night. Both fighters are managed by fellow White

Education

off the reservation. We will organize seven community education forums, one in each community on White
Earth, and three outside White Earth. We will develop
educational collaborations with the Tribal Council, the
Community Councils, the Tribal College and any
other group that wants to be part of this process of
informing the Citizens of the White Earth Nation.
Preparation for the referendum will also include a
day-long Constitutional Seminar to explore and understand the proposed constitution. All citizens will
receive and have access to the ratified constitution as
well as a great deal of information explaining different
aspects of the constitution.
The referendum vote will be a defining moment
for the White Earth Nation. Few generations have a
historic opportunity like this; a chance to determine
the future of the White Earth Nation and the legacy for
future generations.
Please note that on April 6, 2012, the Assistant Secretary – Indian
Affairs, through the Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
issued updated guidance regarding the processing of mandatory
land into trust acquisitions. As required by the updated guidance,
we have examined the language in the White Earth Reservation
Land Settlement Act of 1985 and determined that it permits no
discretion on the part of the Secretary of Interior to accept the tract
in trust and shall be deemed a mandatory acquisition for purposes
of compliance with 25 CFR part 151.
The Superintendent, Minnesota Agency, on behalf of the
Secretary of the Interior, shall acquire title in the name of the
United States of America “IN TRUST” for the White Earth Band
of Chippewa Indians of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe to the following parcels of land no sooner than 30 days after the date this
notice is published in a newspaper of general circulation within
the State of Minnesota, County of Becker.
Such lands shall be deemed to have been reserved from the date
of the establishment of said reservation and to be part of the trust
land of White Earth Band for all purposes.
The subject property is described as:
Parcel B86: Government Lot 7 of Section Twenty-four (24),
Township One Hundred Forty-two (142), North of Range Thirtynine (39), West of the Fifth Principal Meridian, containing 37.75
acres more or less.
Parcel M3: SE¼SE¼ of Section Four (4), Township One
Hundred Forty-three (143), North of Range Thirty-nine (39), West
of the Fifth Principal Meridian, containing 40.00 acres more or
less.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Lyle Warren, Jr., and Pat Kubat who
recently completed their Serv*Training and passed their
test receiving high scores. Pat has been employed at the
Elbow Lake Site Elderly Nutrition Program site for nearly
five years; Lyle has been employed at the Pine Point
Elderly Nutrition site for about 15 months. Both are valuable employees dedicated to preparing and serving safe,
quality food to elders and are an asset to the Elderly
