WE Tribal Council buys inflatable
games for Community Fun Days

Instead of kids bouncing off
the walls with nothing to do, they
can now bounce on five custom
made inflatable games on weekends throughout the reservation.
“The youth on the reservation
need things to do,” said SecretaryTreasurer Robert J. Durant.
“That’s why myself and the council directed the police department
to look into buying inflatable
games for the kids.”

Sergeant
Jeremy Cossette, White Earth

“The council wants the
games to travel between the communities throughout the reservation,” said Durant.

News From Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was
passed by Congress and signed into law by President
Obama on March 23, 2010. The United States Supreme
Court upheld the health care law on June 28, 2012.
At the recent Minnesota Chippewa Tribal Executive
Committee (TEC), Phil Norrgard, Director of Human
Services for the Fond du Lac Band, gave an overview of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as it applies to
American Indians. Several key points in the federal health
care law are:
1. Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) made
permanent. The IHCIA is legal authority to provide health
care to American Indians and Alaskan Natives.
Authorization of appropriations for the IHCIA had expired
in 2000. The Act now has no expiration.
2. Medicaid is expanded to cover more low-income
people, including single adults. States are free to reject the
expansion. In those states, many adults below the poverty
level would remain uninsured. Fifty percent of the
American Indian population is single adults.
3. Definition of American Indian is unclear. State of
Minnesota endorses the definition of American Indian within the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance
Act and the IHCIA. White Earth Nation will urge the same
adoption of definition as the State of Minnesota.
4. There will be health care agreements with Tribes.
There is more to learn about the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, especially for tribes. In Minnesota,
approximately 50 percent of American Indians are covered
by private insurance. White Earth Tribal Government entities provide health insurance coverage to employees under a
“self insured group health plan” which means the employer
(White Earth government) assumes the financial risk for
health care benefits to our employees.
There will be information meetings on the Act April 4,
at Walker, and July and September at a location to be determined later.
Inauguration 2013
It was my honor to attend the 2nd Inauguration for
President Obama on Jan. 21. In his Inaugural Address,
President Obama called for all of us to unite as a nation,
declared “when times change, so must we.”
In Washington, D.C., I visited with Senator Amy
Klobuchar, Senator Al Franken, and Congressman Collin
Peterson.
I am grateful and appreciative for the
Inauguration event tickets their offices provided to me.
It was great to see tribal leaders from Mille Lacs, Fond
du Lac, and Leech Lake at the Inauguration.
Native Nation Night at Bemidji State University
Congratulations to Bemidji State University (BSU) for
sponsoring Native Nation Night at the Beavers Hockey
game on Jan. 25. Leech Lake Chairwoman Carrie Jones,
Red Lake Chairman Buck Jourdain and I had the honor to
“drop the puck” before the game started.
Later I joined Megan Treuer and BSU Indian faculty,
Dr. Leah Carpenter, Dr. John Gonzalez, and Dr. Anton
Treuer, for refreshments and visiting.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of the White Earth
Reservation brought 180 youth to the game. It was a big
night!
Sandy Recovery Improvement Act signed into law
It was a historic day on Jan. 30 when President Obama
signed into law the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act.
Tribal Nations now have the option to make disaster declarations directly to the President. I have included the
Statement by FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate on the
Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 (See Page 7).
Prior to passage of the Act, Tribal Nations were under the
State declaration for Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) assistance.
Annual State of Nation Address
I will give the annual State of the White Earth Nation
Address March 7 at 11 a.m. at the Shooting Star Casino
Event Center. We will celebrate our past year’s accomplishments and put forth our goals for the future. I also invite
you to visit our White Earth program displays and information booths from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A community meal will
be served after the Address.

Special to the Anishinaabeg Today
Earth citizen that in doing so the person is acknowledging
the sovereign authority of the White Earth nation and, furthermore, they are submitting themselves to White Earth’s
full legal jurisdiction. It is unlikely for people whom the
U.S. is their primary cultural and political affiliation will
want to subject themselves dual citizenship.
In addition, we could weave cultural components and
requirements throughout our services. A few possibilities
are:
• Require folks to take a class on hunting before they can
receive their first hunting permit of any kind. The class
could include information about our treaties, basic cultural
teachings about offering tobacco, and maybe some
Anishinaabe language.
• A requirement of receiving an educational scholarship
could be to take a course on the history of White Earth or
to volunteer a certain number of hours at Head Start or at
the college.
• In order to receive food aid the requirement could be
attending classes that include teachings about plants, learn-
Some people have expressed the idea that culture
should some how be a requirement for citizenship in the
White Earth Nation. The proposed Constitution of the
White Earth Nation requires lineal descent and places family at the center of the nation. This reflects Anishinaabe culture but how can we do more? Most of us want to see our
Anishinaabe continue in future generations.
Culture is living; it changes and adapts. When it comes
to culture we have something we can share and we all have
more to learn. Anishinaabe teachings are vast and complex,
even when we hear the same story or teaching we heard a
year or two before we might have a new understanding
about its meaning or how to put it into practice.
One concern is that people who have lineal descent but
do not have a cultural connection will become citizens only
to take advantage of some of the services offered and drain
the nation of resources. There are ways White Earth can
reduce such behavior. Citizenship is serious business. It
should be made very clear to anyone becoming a White
Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor visiting with Congressman
Collin Peterson during the Presidential Inauguration in
Washington, D.C.

During the early months of the 2012 Minnesota
Legislature, a bill was passed that initiated the first
Minnesota wolf hunting and trapping season since
1973. On Aug. 20, the White Earth Reservation
Tribal Council (WERTC) established the White
Earth Wolf Sanctuary. In a declaration, they stated:
“The White Earth Reservation Tribal Council
hereby declares the territory within the exterior
boundaries of the White Earth Reservation a
Ma’iingun or Wolf Sanctuary. No hunting or trapping of Ma’iingun shall be allowed within the original 1867 exterior boundaries of the White Earth
Reservation.”
As a part of the response to the WERTC
Declaration, the White Earth Tribal and Community
College (WETCC) will host the first-ever White
Earth Wolf Conference on Feb. 28 at the White Earth
Tribal & Community College in Mahnomen. The
conference will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
It is the intent of the White Earth Wolf
Conference to further the knowledge about wolves in
Indian Country and to build a broader base of first
hand knowledge about the Tribal relationship to
wolves.
The conference will include the following educational components: wolf science and biology, wolf
politics, and the cultural and historical importance of
wolves to Ojibwe people on the White Earth Indian
Reservation and elsewhere.
Educators for the conference include Jessica
Edberg from the International Wolf Center, Mike
Swan and Doug McArthur from the White Earth
DNR, and Dan Stark from the Minnesota DNR. The
conference is free and is open to the public by preregistration.
Registration information and agenda will be
available at http://maiingan.org and www.wetcc.edu.
For more information, please call WETCC at 218935-0417 Ext. 612 or 326.
White Earth Tribal & Community College to host Black
Ash Basketry & Anishinaabe Storytelling on campus
White Earth Tribal & Community College will
host a Black Ash Basketry & Anishinaabe
Storytelling event on Feb. 28 at the new campus in
Mahnomen.
Students from area public schools will attend the
morning session from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Clyde Estey
Jr., renowned Ojibwe basket weaver, will demonstrate the art of black ash basketry. The public is
invited to an evening storytelling event from 6 to 8
p.m. on the same day.
Storytellers will include Harry Windigo and
Albert Hunter from Ontario, Canada, and Larry
Stillday and Eugene Stillday from Ponemah, Minn.
This event is free. For
more information, please call
the White Earth Tribal and
Community College at 218935-0417 Ext. 326 or 612.
This activity is funded in
whole or part by a Region 2
Arts Council Grant through an
appropriation by the Minnesota
State Legislature, and the Arts
and Cultural Heritage Fund
passed by voters on November
4, 2008.
A grant for $250,000 to the Little Earth of
United Tribes housing complex in Minneapolis, from
the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community funded a number of innovative initiatives. The two entities have worked together for many years to improve
housing and services at Little Earth.
Little Earth was founded in 1973 to create
affordable housing for the growing urban American
Indian community in Minneapolis. It is the only
urban American Indian owned, subsidized housing
complex in the United States with American Indian
preference.
Located on 9.4 acres in the East Phillips neighborhood, Little Earth spans a multi-block area with
212 housing units home to nearly 1,000 residents.
Almost half of Little Earth residents are under the
age of 21; residents are 98 percent American Indian
with ties to more than 28 tribal nations. Children
from Little Earth attend 23 different schools. The
typical resident is a single mother in her early 30’s
with two children.
The $250,000 grant funded the following: the
Volunteer Program, the Urban Farm, the School
Success Program, the Youth Development Center,
the Employment & College Success Program, the
Community Transformation Plan, Safety Program,
transportation maintenance, administration, and
fundraising and development.
“Working together, our organization and residents have boldly raised household incomes, education levels, community volunteerism, and safety.
Driving this revitalization is our philosophy of
change, which maintains that all Indian people
deserve to dream and deserve access to the skills they
need to achieve their dreams,” wrote Little Earth
President/CEO Bill Ziegler in the request. “Shakopee
has long been a partner at Little Earth, providing generous support for the community’s educational programs,” he continued.
Shakopee Mdewakanton award $250,000 to
Little Earth of United Tribes housing complex
SMSC donations to Little Earth total more than
a million dollars in recent years. A 2011 grant from
the SMSC for $450,000 funded a home readiness
training program, a feasibility study for a food co-op
and urban farm, an on-line high school training program, a college success program, a new van, the
Omniciye Program (a one-stop case-management
program), and administrative services.
In previous years the SMSC funded a Youth
Development Center, operating costs, and housing
renovations. The SMSC also helped pay for solar
panels which were installed through the organization
Honor the Earth in 2008. The SMSC also supports
non-profit organizations which provide services to
Little Earth residents, such as Youthcare and the
Domestic Abuse Program.

BEMIDJI – It’s happening.
After two and a half years of fundraising, enough money has been raised to begin
work on a new Chief Bemidji statue for
Library Park.
Recently, the Beltrami County Board
of Commissioners approved the $25,000
development grant request from the Chief
Bemidji Statue Project Committee, putting
it over its $124,000 goal.
“I was so thrilled I just wanted to stand
up and thank everybody,” said Sandy Kaul,
co-chair of the committee who attended the
meeting.
Kaul said the artist, Washington-based
sculptor Gareth Curtiss, could begin work
on the statue of Shaynowishkung by April
1. She said it will take about a year to complete.
The new bronze statue, which will
stand at about 9 feet and 3 inches, will
replace the current wood statue, which is
seen by some as too cartoonish. It will go to
the Beltrami County History Center, along
with the first Chief Bemidji statue, Kaul
said.
The ultimate destination for the new
statue will be Library Park. But depending
on the timing of planned improvements to
the waterfront area, it might begin at a different public location before moving to the
park, Kaul said.
“We have some really good ideas and
plans for (the statue),” said Marcia Larson,
the city’s parks and recreation director.
“But we also don’t want to start construction all around it either.”
According to a park design concept on
the city’s website, the statue will be located
near where the current one stands, but on
the east side of the trail closer to Lake
Bemidji.
“I believe Chief Bemidji deserves
some justice,” said Tim Sumner, Beltrami
County District 4 commissioner and a
member of the Red Lake Nation. “I like the
picture that was provided in the packets,
and I think we need to show some pride in
Bemidji and show it’s not where we’ve
been but where we want to go.”
Sumner said in a phone interview
recently that the new statue will be more
“authentic”
and
better
resemble
Shaynowishkung, who was known as Chief
Bemidji.
The Chief Bemidji committee has
raised $50,000 in grants, $40,600 in monetary donations and $38,630 worth of inkind donations for site work and printing.
The three area tribes have donated to the
project, Kaul said.

White Earth Band considers new constitution
By Tom Robertson
Minnesota Public Radio
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Citizens of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe
will vote on constitution reforms in a referendum planned for this fall.
The proposed new constitution includes a controversial provision
that would change the requirement for tribal membership. Right now,
people must have one-quarter Indian blood to be citizens of the tribe.
The new constitution would use family lineage, where children and
grandchildren of tribal members would be citizens, as well.
Tribal member Donald Vizenor says fewer and fewer people qualify for the one-quarter blood requirement, including people in his own
family.
“I am the last one of our family. So as it is, when I pass on, if it stays
the same as it is, my children, my grandchildren, their children, will not
be any Native at all. There won’t be any Natives left. I am the end of the
line in our family,” Vizenor said.
The proposed document also includes more checks and balances in
the governance system, as well as term limits for elected officials.
“Independent court systems are absolutely necessary to economic
development. Who's going to partner in with us when the court system
is under the tribal council. Now, during my administration, we have
stayed away from the court. But that's not a guarantee that another tribal leader will do the same,” said White Earth Tribal Chairwoman Erma
J. Vizenor.

10th Annual
Indigenous Farming Conference set for March 4-7 at Maplelag
By Zachary Paige
Americorps
The White Earth Land Recovery Project is hosting the
10th Annual Great Lakes Indigenous Farming Conference
March 4-7 at Maplelag Resort in rural Callaway.
Come join us and learn about a wide array of topics
such as; winter greenhouse construction, goat milk production, seed sovereignty, high tunnels, compost systems, plant
breeding, sustainable food production, community food
systems’ design, direct market training, tribal food policy,
environmental justice, farm to school programs, Native
agriculture and much more! Featured workshop topics will
include; development of an indigenous seed library, salve
making, and seed saving techniques.
Our wishes are always to convene the Anishinaabeg,
our neighbors and relatives to restore the plants and foods
given to us by the Creator. We acknowledge that we are the
most northern corn producers in the world. Our northern
tribes have cultivated our flint corn for more than 2,500
years. We recall and remember this history, continue to
practice and show the new generation. We are interested in
restoring the agro-biodiversity of our land. We are interested in becoming better gardeners, harvesters and those
who restore soil and air, not destroy it.
There are many very committed and amazing people
coming to speak. This year’s conference will feature local,
regional, and international speakers. Here are a few selected bios;
Rowen White, is a passionate seed saver. She is from
the Mohawk community of Akwesasne, and curates an
extensive collection of rare northeast native seeds. She is
the co-founder of the Sierra Seed Cooperative, a local community seed organization focusing on local seed production
and education, located in California. Sierra Seeds is building a rare and diverse seed collection, educating members
about the practice of seed-saving, and growing a community of caring farmers and seed stewards. She is coming to
teach seed saving techniques and how to build seed-saving
cooperatives and protect against seed patents.

Creating graffiti on a national park space is a federal
offense. So, it’s more than a little unusual that the National
Park Service has decided to not only allow, but has actually restored some graffiti left during a protest held by Native
Americans inside the former prison site Alcatraz.
“We restored it because it has a social significance,”
Alcatraz site supervisor Marcus Koenen told the San
Francisco Chronicle. “It is part of what this park is all
about.”
The once-notorious prison is now part of a federal
park. From the winter of 1969 through the spring of 1971,
a group of Native Americans occupied the space after the
prison had closed.
The restoration project took about a year and cost $1.5
million.
“PEACE AND FREEDOM WELCOME HOME OF
THE FREE INDIAN LAND,” reads the sign painted by
hand on a prison water tower.
Eloy Martinez, a Ute Indian who lives in Oakland, was
hired to restore the sign painting.
In a document entitled the “Alcatraz Island
Proclamation,” the protesters outlined their hopes to turn

Ojibwe Singers
Native language hymns part of Native culture
By Dan Gunderson
MPR News 91.3 FM
WHITE EARTH – When 30 people
gathered recently for an evening service at
St. Columba Episcopal Church, they recited
liturgy like thousands of other church congregations.
But when they began singing, it quickly became clear that theirs was not a typical
Minnesota prayer service.
A visitor would have recognized the
melody to “What a friend I have in Jesus,”
but the parishioners sang in Ojibwe, thanks
to the translations early missionaries made
to help convert Indians to Christianity.
Music is a time honored part of worship in most religions. For many Ojibwe
people in northern Minnesota, hymns are
much more than an expression of religious
devotion. They represent a unique piece of
Ojibwe culture tribal that members are trying to preserve.
White Earth Tribal Chairwoman Erma
J. Vizenor, one of the singers at the service,
said it’s critical to keep the Ojibwe language alive.
“This is one way we can keep it,” she
said. “We can use it, we can share it, we can
build community with it.”
Vizenor grew up with Ojibwe hymn
singing and traditional spiritual practices.
She remembers neighbors gathering in her
grandparents’ tiny two-room home to sing,
and her grandparents explaining traditional
ceremonies.
Although Christian clergy tried to end
traditional Indian spiritual practices,
Vizenor said, the native-language hymns
the church brought the reservation have
become part of the complex Ojibwe culture.
Vizenor said she is active in the
Christian church, but still comfortable with
traditional spiritual practices. For her, both
can reflect the spiritual traditions of Ojibwe
people.
“It strengthens us. I love the Ojibwe
hymn singing. I hope I can sing it
until I draw my last breath.”
“Our spirituality is one of prayer,” she
said. “And even our traditionalism is not a
religion, but it’s a way of life in how we
respect Creator and take care of whatever
Creator has given us and take care of one
another.”
Today, some of the most active groups
of hymn singers are on the White Earth,
Red Lake and Leech Lake reservations.
Vizenor estimates there are more than 400
people who sing at funerals and wakes,
church services and community celebrations.
After the church service, parishioners
gathered in the basement for a meal, and
about a dozen people lingered around a
table to sing more hymns.
Charles “Punkin” Hanks hunched over
his song book, shoulder length black hair
framing his deeply lined face.
“I’ve been doing this for 33 years,”
said Hanks, 72. “They call me to go Red
Lake, Cass Lake. Anyplace there’s a wake,
funeral. I go into the schools, wherever they
want me to sing. It doesn’t matter what
denomination, where I can help out, I go.”
Hanks said he began singing because
he thought it was important to keep the tradition alive. For him, it’s much like the
drum used in traditional ceremonies.
“You know, the drum is a healing thing
that kind of helps you out,” he said. “Same
with our songs. When we start singing like
that it’s a healing process for the people and
a lot of people that hear that say it’s a nice
feeling they get from listening to our songs
you know.”
Hanks was part of a group that recorded Ojibwe hymns for the Smithsonian
Institution collection a few years ago.
Ed Smith, who lives in Pine Point, a
tiny community across the reservation,
grew up with the Ojibwe hymns, but has
been singing for about 12 years. Smith, 70,
worries the tradition might be fading.
“I am somewhat concerned that the
young people are not picking it up as readily as I would like to see,” he said. “So there
is some concern this might be part of our
culture that will be no more.”
Although Smith doesn’t speak Ojibwe,
for him, the hymns are an important connection to culture.
A source of strength and comfort, the
Ojibwe hymn tradition is certain to continue, Vizenor said.

This is one of two plaques located in the
lower level of the RTC building honoring
former and current Ojibwe Singers.
“I’ve seen our singing be a part of
social change. I’ve seen our singing bring
our people together during times of the
worst times of mourning and death. I’ve
seen our singing celebrate on Easter morning,” she said. “It strengthens us. I love the
Ojibwe hymn singing. I hope I can sing it
until I draw my last breath.”

Sandy Recovery Improvement Act signed
It was a historic day on Jan. 30 when
President Obama signed into law the
Sandy Recovery Improvement Act.
Tribal Nations now have the option
to make disaster declarations directly to
the President. Prior to passage of the Act,
Tribal Nations were under the State declaration
for
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) assistance.
Below is a statement by FEMA
Administrator Craig Fugate on the Sandy
Recovery Improvement Act of 2013.
The U.S. Census Bureau recently released the 2010 Census American Indian and
Alaska Native Summary File. This summary file provides statistics for the largest number of American Indian and Alaska Native groups of any Census Bureau data product.
The summary file provides statistics such as age, sex, household relationship and
homeownership for more than 1,500 groups that include American Indian and Alaska
Native tribal groupings, specific American Indian tribes and specific Alaska Native villages, with a population of at least 100 at the national level.
The 2010 Census American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File is available for
states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, ZIP Code tabulation areas,
congressional districts for the 111th Congress, metropolitan areas, American Indian and
Alaska Native areas, tribal subdivisions and Hawaiian home lands.
To preserve confidentiality, only geographic entities with a population of at least
100 for the specified group are available in the file.
The 2010 Census American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File tables can be
found on the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website by using the “Topics” filter
to select the dataset “2010 American Indian and Alaska Native SF.” Next, use the “Race
and Ethnic Groups” filter to select the American Indian and Alaska Native tribal groupings, specific American Indian tribes, or specific Alaska Native villages of interest.
While a variety of tables will be available, a good place to start is the Profile of General
Population and Housing Characteristics, which shows a summary of characteristics for
one geographic area at a time.

Feb. 13 at Northland Community College in Thief River Falls, Minn. Congratulations and good luck
Michael.
I’ll start with our local northern Minnesota weather report as
seen by the writer. January has given us more breezy days than
I like, after 15 years living up here I still don’t understand their
definition of breezy. Very little snow yet! (With the exception of
the several inches that fell after this column was written) Several
nights with temperatures below zero which is making great ice
on the lakes.
The snowbirds have all taken flight for warmer climates.
My wife Lois and I moved from Oregon to enjoy the winters
here. Those of you who haven’t spent some winter time back
here you’re always welcome to come back for a winter.
Do any of you that haven’t been back to the Rez in the last
10 or 15 years, plan a trip in June for a look around and the Pow
Wow? Some of our family are coming out from Oregon.
The week before the Pow Wow our Shooting Star Casino
and Event Center will be the site of the Wisdom Steps state conference. There should be about 300 Elders in attendance. Each
year we get Elders who want to attend and they haven’t qualified to attend. It’s too late now to make this year’s event, but you
can start working on next year’s. For information about
Wisdom Steps contact your local Indian Health Service office in
Minnesota. Preventative health care, exercise and education is
what the Wisdom Steps program is about.
Anybody interested in looking at or downloading pictures
of your friends or family at Wisdom Step state conferences or
golf tournaments can go to my picture website and view or
download them. As an extra bonus my wife has some of her pictures on that site also. The following is the website for the pictures: www.flickr.com/photos/leonardwells/sets
You might wonder why I keep writing about education? Our
youth is the future of not only Indian Country but for America.
Your diploma or college degree does not only show your educated and that you have the willpower it takes to get the task
done. That is something employers will be looking for. Keep
pushing the students, and students keep pushing yourself to get
the job done.
This month brings Valentine’s Day, men, at the very least
give her a card. This month also brings my favorite time of the
year, Daytona 500 and the start of NASCAR.
Until next month Happy Valentine’s Day to all you ladies
out there.

White Earth Nation vote could end ‘blood
quantum’ tribal membership requirement
By Tom Robertson
Minnesota Public Radio
PONSFORD, Minn. — The White Earth Band of
Ojibwe in northwestern Minnesota could become the
first member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe to
revise its constitution and completely change the rules
for who can be a tribal member.
Since the 1930s, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe
members have operated under “cookie cutter” constitutions that contain no separation of powers. The proposed White Earth constitution would add checks and
balances and place term limits on elected officials.
The proposed constitution also contains a controversial measure that would change the way the White
Earth Tribe determines who qualifies for tribal citizenship, providing a boost to a shrinking population.
Membership in the White Earth band of Ojibwe is
based on “blood quantum,” a rule used by many Indian
tribes in the United States. The federal government
pressured tribes into adopting the concept decades ago,
and White Earth and the rest of the Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe accepted it in 1963.
Under the blood quantum rule, tribal members
must be at least one-quarter Indian to register. It's a
system that has excluded members of some families,
among them Julie Smith, who lives on the White Earth
Indian Reservation with her husband and three children.
The Smiths try hard to keep Indian cultural traditions alive in their home.
They have a drum. They dance at powwows. The
couple’s oldest son, Tristan, 7, is learning from his dad
how to harvest wild rice, and how to snare rabbits and
fish and hunt deer. But soon, Tristan won’t be able to
legally hunt or fish on tribal lands.
“I haven’t had the heart to tell him that, you know,
‘when you turn 12 and can legally hunt, well, you can’t
anymore, because you’re not Indian enough,’” she
said. “It just breaks my heart to have that conversation
with him. And I haven’t yet, because I’m hoping it will
change.”
Because Julie Smith does not qualify for membership in the White Earth tribe, neither do Tristan and his
brother and sister.
Julie’s husband, Mike, facilities director at the
Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, Minn., is considered one-quarter Indian and meets the White Earth citizenship requirement.
But Julie Smith and their three children do not
have enough Indian blood to be considered part of the
tribe. Although Julie's mother meets the minimum
blood requirement, her father is white.
Smith, a school counselor on the reservation community of Waubun, has long been aware that the tribe
treated her differently because she was not an enrolled
tribal member.
“You sometimes feel like you don’t belong and
you’re not sure where you fit in,” she said. “I always
knew I was Native, but everyone’s, ‘well, you’re not
enrolled.’ So what does that make you?”
Smith’s status made her ineligible for education
scholarships for Indian students, which her enrolled
friends qualified for. She recalls summer education
programs that were off limits to her. Now, her children
don't qualify to attend one of the local schools, which
requires students to meet the one-quarter blood
requirement.
Ending The Blood Quantum Rule
The rule, which Julie Smith contends isn’t fair,
could be scrapped in a proposed new constitution,
approved by delegates at a tribal convention in 2009.
If adopted by tribal members in a vote later this
year, the new constitution would change the tribal definition of membership. Instead of the old blood quantum rule, tribal enrollment would be based on family
lineage. Anyone whose parents or grandparents were
tribal members would also be part of the tribe.
The change would fully connect families like
Smith's to the Indian culture they feel a part of. The
new enrollment criteria also could double or even
triple the membership of White Earth, said Jill
Doerfler, assistant professor of American Indian
Studies at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She has
advised the tribe on the constitutional reform process.
“I think we're definitely in a historic moment for
the White Earth Nation,” said Doerfler, who grew up
on the White Earth Reservation, but doesn’t meet the
tribe’s enrollment requirement. “Creating a new constitution is... nothing short of monumental, essentially.”
Doerfler’s mother is a tribal member but her
father is white.
The enrollment requirements, Doerfler said, are
slowly destroying White Earth. There are currently
about 19,000 enrolled members, but independent studies project that within 30 years, the population will be
cut by more than half.
“By about 2080, there won’t be anyone alive who
has the one-quarter blood quantum,” she said. “So
essentially at that point, the nation will disappear.”

Native Alive to hold suicide education groups at Boys
and Girls Clubs Units throughout White Earth Rez
The Native Alive Campaign will be holding suicide educational groups with all the Boys and Girls
Clubs Units of the White Earth Reservation.
The groups will start at the Rice Lake Unit on
Feb. 6 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will rotate weekly
with other Units through March 13. This suicide education group has already been completed at the Boys
and Girls Clubs Naytahwaush Unit.
From Rice Lake this group will move throughout the other five units: Pine Point, Callaway,
Mahnomen, White Earth, and Elbow Lake. These
groups will be held for youth ages 12-18. If you are
interested please pick up a permission slip from the
Boys and Girls Clubs Rice Lake Unit.
Topics that will be covered are: Understanding
Grief, Problem of Youth Suicide, Facts and Fiction
about Suicide, Warning Signs of Suicide, Suicide
Intervention with a Friend, Community Resources
for Suicide Prevention and a 4-Step Plan for Suicide
Intervention. Through these groups youth will learn
to discuss the feelings that are associated with suicide
and learn to apply suicide prevention skills.
You may be concerned about your youth attending a group about suicide education. Studies have
been completed to show that suicide is the second
leading cause of death for ages 10-34 for American
Indian and Alaskan Natives from 2005-2009.
If you have any questions please contact Tanya
Carter or Sharon Jurina 218-983-4703.

THE DOCTOR’S CORNER
White Earth Health Center
“No Show” Policy
For several years the White Earth Health Center has actively
participated in IPC. Initially IPC was and acronym for
“Innovations in Planned Care.” It has evolved to a current meaning of “Improving Patient Care.”
The IPC model seeks to improve the quality of patient care by
using a model of Patient-Centered care. This is where patients are
empowered to get the care they want and need, when they want and
need it. Recently the Health Center enacted a No Show Policy to
help improve the quality of care by better protecting your time.
The No Show Policy seeks to improve scheduling and timeliness of appointments. This policy also helps to provide a process
for patients that have not arrived within 10 minutes of their scheduled appointment.
According to policy, patients are informed to be at the clinic at
least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment time. This
allows adequate time to process information, and complete the
check-in procedures and the nurse screening process.
Patients who fail to present for a scheduled appointment without contacting the White Earth Health Center to cancel the appointment will be considered a no-show 10 minutes after the beginning
of the appointment. Each department that schedules appointments
has developed a procedure for rescheduling these patients which
will include efforts to work the patient back into the schedule to
accommodate each patient.
Hopefully, this policy will better protect a patient’s scheduled
appointment time to ensure more timely appointments.

cloth, “a precedent set by the white man’s
purchase of a similar island about 300
years ago.”
In the proclamation, the group says
Alcatraz would be a perfect fit as a reservation, because like other lands given to
Native Americans by the U.S. government, the island is “isolated from modern
facilities, and without adequate means of
transportation … has no fresh running
water … there are no health care facilities,” and “The population has always
been held as prisoners and kept dependent upon others.”
Other pieces of graffiti left on the
island include inscriptions such as,
“Custer had it coming.”
The National Park Service consulted
with the American Indian Movement and
the Indian Treaty Council as they worked
to restore the sign.
“We all agreed we were doing the
right thing. We were honoring an important part of the island’s history,” David
Dusterhoff, project manager for the
Golden Gate National Recreation Area,
told the Chronicle.

Warrior
Duncan marches in Obama’s Inauguration parade
White Earth enrollee Arlene Duncan was part of
history when she and a group of women warriors carried the colors for President Obama’s Inaugural
parade Jan. 21 in Washington, D.C.
About 2,800 groups applied to be part of the
parade. The president’s inaugural committee chose
60, including one with deep roots in this land.
They are the first Native American Women
Warrior (NAWW) color guard: all veterans, all proud
of their ancestry and the nation they serve.
Mitchelene BigMan is the group’s founder. Sgt.
Big Man served 22 years in
the Army, including two tours
in Iraq.
“We’re like the heartbeat
of America,” BigMan said.
“We’re Native Americans.
We’re still here, and I think
we’re even stronger now than
we were before.”
When she retired after
two decades, she formed the
Native American Women
Warriors. The group includes
all ranks and branches of service. They promote diversity and equality in the military and on reservations.
In the Inguarguartion parade the women wore a
traditional jingle dress. The women in NAWW come
from many different tribes and they displayed their
military branch and rank on their dresses with their
own unique head pieces, leggings and moccasins.
One of Native American women chosen was
Duncan. She served in the U.S. Marine Corps and did
one tour in Afghanistan. She obtained the rank of
Sergeant and was awarded the following medals:
Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medal, Marine
Corp Commendation Medal, Armed Forces Service
Medal, Good Conduct USMC, National Defense-War
on Terrorism, Global War on Terrorism.
She is currently attending Ashford University
and pursuing her degree in Education. Duncan’s
future aspirations are to teach high school history and
complete her Masters in Native American studies.
Duncan is married and currently resides in Chicago
with her husband, Solomon Duncan.
Chairwoman meets with Senator
Submitted photo
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar welcomed White Earth
Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor during the President’s recent
Inauguration in Washington, D.C. The two discussed issues
dealing with the White Earth Nation.
“I such honor and pride being able to represent
not only my family and tribe but the Marine Corps,”
she said “I was given the opportunity to tell my
grandchildren one day, that I left my mark in history.
If I inspired just one person back on my reservation or
in my community I will be happy. Our goal marching
that day was to bring a little healing to everyone and
I think we accomplished that goal.”

The first Community Fun Day was
held Jan. 25-26 at the White Earth
Community
Service
Center
in
Naytahwaush.
“About 150 people attended the event,”
said Cossette. “The kids loved it and we
heard good things from the community.”
In addition to unlimited fun, everyone
was treated to hot dogs, pop, cotton candy,
popcorn, and other snacks.
The Rice Lake Community Fun Day
was held Feb. 1-2 at the Rice Lake
Community Center and around 120 people
participated.
Cossette said the next Community Fun
Day will be held Friday, Feb. 8 from 6 to 9
p.m., and Saturday, Feb. 9 from noon to 4
p.m. at the White Earth Community Center.
“We’re going to try and rotate the event
every weekend in the bigger communities
right now,” said Cossette. He said some of
the smaller communities don’t have the
space to set up the large inflatable games
and the food equipment.
“The tribal council is very proud to
have been able to purchase the games and
food equipment for these community
events,” said Durant. “Keeping the youth
on the reservation busy and active is a
major concern for the council.
“I want to thank the White Earth Police
Department, Boys and Girls Clubs of the
White Earth Reservation, and maintenence
staff for setting up these events,” said
Durant.
Event organizers want to remind parents and guardians that youth must be
supervised at all times.

has been a good thing as it has kept pressure
off of already limited financial and natural
resources.
A larger population might makes things
worse, said tribal member Sharon EnjawdyMitchell, who served as a constitutional delegate. She agrees that the tribe needs to do
away with the blood quantum rule but is not
comfortable letting people become tribal
members who aren't familiar with the Indian
way of life.
Enjawdy-Mitchell worries that doing so
might dilute the Indian culture she grew up
with.
“My grandmother went so far as to tell
me, ‘I don’t care who you marry, I don’t care
who you fall in love with, but when you have
children, you’d better have them with a full
blood or your grandchildren won’t be Indian.
That’s the way the law is,'’” EnjawdyMitchell recalled. “So I did exactly what she
told me to do... Those are the choices that
people make.”
The blood rule is being examined as
many tribes are ditching the weak, boilerplate constitutions the federal government
gave them in the 1930s.
Instituting Constitution Reform
However, the real spark for constitutional reform at White Earth wasn’t over tribal
membership, but corruption. The reform
effort began in the 1980s, when tribal members learned that then tribal chairman Darrell
“Chip” Wadena was running a corrupt government. In 1996, Wadena was convicted in
federal court of bid rigging, money laundering and stealing from his own people.
Erma Vizenor, who led the group of
activists who ousted Wadena, now serves as
White Earth’s tribal chairwoman.
Vizenor supports the new constitution,
which she said protects individual civil rights
and outlines a judicial system that’s not subject to political pressure. She said a stabilized
government is essential to encourage economic development.
White Earth is the largest of six Ojibwe
bands that make up the Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe, which serves as an umbrella organization. If White Earth approves a new constitution, it would likely mean it would leave the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.
It’s unclear how that would affect the
larger group. The Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe’s administrative director declined to
comment.
But it would certainly require complex
negotiations between White Earth and the
larger group, since some of the land on the
White Earth Reservation is technically under
ownership of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.
Vizenor believes eliminating the blood
quantum requirement will ultimately
strengthen White Earth’s sovereignty and
ensure the tribe's survival.
“We should not fear the unknown; we
should not fear change,” she said. “We
should be looking for a vision that will
ensure the perpetuity of our people forever.”
White Earth leaders plan to hold community meetings in the coming months to
educate tribal members on the constitution
and obtain their feedback. A vote on the constitution is planned for August.

Culture
from Page 2
ing the Anishinaabe names for plants, and participation in a community garden or delivering food to our elders.
• The requirement for housing assistance could be attending language classes or, for those who are already fluent, volunteering a
certain number of hours teaching the language.
Requirements like these would create reciprocity, one of our
fundamental Anishinaabe values. As Anishinaabe we all carry a
responsibility to give back to our families, communities, and nation.
These classes and volunteer requirements would create strong
bonds and relationships among citizens. These activities are also
empowering. They give people an opportunity to find their place
and to feel good about helping others. These are just a few ideas;
there are endless possibilities for ways that we can do our best to
build a strong nation with citizens who practice our Anishinaabe
culture and know our history. All of the classes/teaching sessions
could be open so that anyone who wanted to learn could attend.
In many ways, culture is really about how we live our lives.
Some of our cultural practices are easier to identify than others.
Dancing at a pow-wow, offering tobacco for animals or plants that
give themselves to us, learning and speaking the language, or
attending ceremonies are all pretty easy to identify. It’s also important to remember the small and, often, invisible ways we follow and
practice Anishinaabe values and traditions, including the Seven
Teachings (Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility,
and Truth) on a daily basis.
It might not be as obvious but we are also practicing our values
when we drive an elder or parent to a doctor appointment; show
compassion to a coworker who we know is having a hard time at
home; care for the earth by recycling or picking up litter; babysit for
a friend or relative while they go to school; or go to work even on
those days we would much rather just stay in bed because we know
we have a responsibility to support ourselves and our relatives.
These are all Anishinaabe acts that make us who we are, that create
us.
If we each do our part, we can make a strong nation that will
exist in perpetuity and have citizens that practice and carry forward
our Anishinaabe traditions, practices, and values. We can build in
cultural requirements into services. We can also each make a commitment to mino-bimaadiziwin, to living the good and healthy
Anishinaabe life to the best of our abilities.
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 January 18, 2013, the
Superintendent, Minnesota Agency, decided to accept 737.60
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. 99-264,
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. 29, 1992, 106 Stat. 4516, Pub. L. 103-263, Sec.
4, May 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 708, provided “That this Act may
be cited as the ‘White Earth Reservation Land Settlement Act
of 1985’.
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, Counties of Becker,
Clearwater, and Mahnomen.
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.

Chile
By Colleen Blattenbauer
SNAP Program
Brown two pounds of ground beef
Drain off excess fat
Sauté one medium chopped onion, two cups of
diced celery and one green pepper diced (optional).
Add the ground beef, onions, celery and green pepper
to several cans of drained and rinsed kidney beans,
drained vegetarian beans, diced canned tomatoes, and
one large can of tomato juice. Season to taste with chili
powder, salt, black pepper and any of your favorite
spices.
I sometimes like to add black beans, large and
small butter beans and chili magic. Bring to a boil and
then simmer for one hour or longer. Keep an eye on it
so it does not burn onto the kettle. The flavor is even
better if it sits overnight.

Thank you for your generous donation in support of
the 2012 Elder Christmas Party held Dec. 7 at the Sports
Complex in Naytahwaush.
Approximately 267 elders were in attendance of this
event which included a spiritual blessing, roast beef dinner,
visiting and of course, Santa and bingo!
This year was record attendance; we held our breath
hoping the food would be enough! Meals were also delivered to elders who were unable to leave their homes. Staff
from Health Education assisted in setting up, serving and
clean-up. White Earth Home Health staff was on hand to
handle any emergencies and to administer flu shots for
those needing them. The RTC and casino maintenance
crew were so helpful in setting up tables and chairs and of
course, cleanup. I thank the ENP staff for preparing a delicious meal and to our drivers for delivering meals to the
homebound. Many other people, including Kathy Clark,
Doyle Turner and Greg LaVoy helped to make this event
successful.
I would like to give special thanks to Bev Karsten she is a terrific “Party Planner” and put in many extra
hours shopping, decorating and delivering gifts to elders
residing in nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
Your support of elder projects and events is deeply
appreciated. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Carol Fabre, Manager
Elderly Nutrition Program

Minnesota Children’s Museum Storyland exhibit travels to White Earth
By Vicki Gerdes
DL-Online
At the Minnesota Children’s Museum
in St. Paul, an exhibit known as “Storyland”
brings to life a series of seven favorite
childhood tales for parents and their young
children to enjoy together.
Starting this month, a traveling form of
the interactive children’s exhibit is coming
to the White Earth Reservation, and soon
will visit Detroit Lakes as well.
“It is a literacy-focused exhibit, aimed
at children ages 2-8,” explained Amy
Degerstrom, director of the Becker County
Museum in Detroit Lakes, which will host
the exhibit from March 23 through May 24.
But Storyland’s first stop in Becker
County will be at the White Earth Tribal
Council Headquarters in the village of
White Earth, which hosts the exhibit in its
lower level from Feb. 1 until March 22,
when it will move to Detroit Lakes.
“We have a tentative grand opening set
for Feb. 19,” said Terri Darco, coordinator
of the White Earth Early Childhood
Initiative (ECI)
But visitors can already view the
exhibit now, she added.
Three of the seven tales featured in the
St. Paul museum — “The Tale of Peter
Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter, “The Snowy
Day” by Ezra Jack Keats, and “Where’s
Spot?” by Eric Hill —have been adapted for
the traveling exhibit, but there has been a
local touch added as well.
“We’ve included a cultural aspect in
it,” said Darco. “We’ve added the (Ojibwe)
story ‘How the Turtle Got Its Shell,’ and
we’ll be featuring a live box turtle — it’s
coming from the Headwaters Science
Museum in Bemidji, which is also partnering with us on this. They’re letting us borrow their turtle for two months. We’re making a little home for it, and we’ll put it by a
nice warm window.
“We’re also exhibiting a wigwam, and
setting it up to show how storytelling might
have looked in the native Ojibwe culture
years ago,” she added.
In addition, Degerstrom said, the original exhibit’s bilingual focus — English and
Spanish — has been given a local adaptation as well.
“Another cool thing we’re adding to it
is the Ojibwe language,” she said. “The
exhibit was originally done in English and
Spanish, but we’re replacing the Spanish
with Ojibwe at both (host) sites.”
“Tamarac Refuge will also be showcasing the hides and furs from all kinds of different local wildlife at White Earth,” Darco
said, while the county museum will be featuring its own wildlife displays when it
hosts the exhibit.
The traveling exhibit’s four-month stay
in Becker County is a collaborative project
between the Becker County Historical
Society, White Earth Early Childhood
Initiative, Mahube-Otwa Community
Council and the Detroit Lakes Public
Library, with participation from others such
as the Headwaters Science Museum and
Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.
When the exhibit moves to Detroit
Lakes in late March, the library staff will be
hosting a Storytime session at the county
The Spanish language on the exhibits will be replaced with Ojibwe.
museum every Tuesday through May 21,
starting at 6:30 p.m., Degerstrom.
“Our grand opening will be April 7
from 1 to 3 p.m.,” Degerstrom said. “We’ve
got some things in the works for that
already — Curious George is coming, and
we’ll be doing a ribbon cutting with the
Chamber of Commerce.”
More details on the grand opening will
be revealed as the date gets closer, she
added.
“We will also be using this exhibit to
focus our Museum Day in May on family
and children’s activities,” said Degerstrom.
Details for the White Earth grand opening are being finalized this week as well,
Darco said.
Anyone who would like to schedule a
group tour of the exhibit should contact
Terri Darco at 218-983-3285, ext. 1381 for
a White Earth tour, or Amy Degerstrom at
218-847-2938 for a Detroit Lakes tour.
“Scheduled tours are recommended for
large groups,” Degerstrom said. “But call
soon, because dates are filling up fast!”
Storyland Partners: Becker County Historical Museum,
Headwaters Science Museum, Lake Agassiz Regional Library,
Mahube–Otwa Community Action Partnership, MN Children’s
Museum, Northern Lights Library, Tamarac, Traditions
Language Culture Committee, West Central ECI, WE Tribal
Council, WE Child Care/Early Childhood Program, WE Elders,
WETCC Extension Service, WE Education Department, WE
Maintenance Department, and WE Natural Resources
The exhibit is open to the public
Feb. 1 - March 22, Tuesday
through Friday from 10 a.m. until
2:30 p.m. each week. Large group
tours may be scheduled by calling
Terri Darco at 218-983-3285.
