Senator John Thune Visits Flandreau Indian School
Senator John Thune visited
Flandreau Indian School on
October 2 nd . He met with FIS
Superintendent Mr. Everall Fox,
Merle Hoskins, ROTC Director and
Priscilla Hovland, Program
Developer for the Office of Violent
Crime Project.
The Office of Violent Crime (OVC)
Project at the Flandreau Indian
School (FIS) has as its primary
purpose the provision of mental
health services to students from
the trauma informed community
perspective. Initial testing in the
first year of the five year program
revealed that greater than 90% of
the students have had at least one
first of second degree family
member or close friend complete
suicide and/or have actually made
a significant attempt to end their
own life.
The following programs have been
developed under the project to
address the comprehensive
wellness approach to adequate
mental/physical/spiritual health:
Peer to Peer Mentoring, Chemical
Dependency Services (After Care
program for students who have
completed Intensive Outpatient/
Inpatient Treatment
at another
2
facility), Suicide Awareness Pre and
Post Prevention Services, Equine
Assisted Therapy, Healthy
Relationships (designed to promote
healthy relationships in all areas of
the student’s life), All Nations
Women’s Society, Warrior’s Society
and Comprehensive Personal
Wellness Approach.
Priscilla Hovland stated to Senator
Thune: “Funding for this project will
come to the Senate for approval
soon. Your support would benefit
not only the students at FIS but the
Native American community as a
whole.” ( The OVC Project is funded
by the Department of Justice)

DECEMBER 26, 2012 MARKS THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HANGING OF THE
DAKOTA 38
“In the spring of 2005, Jim Miller, a Native spiritual leader and Vietnam veteran, found himself
in a dream riding on horseback across the Great Plains of South Dakota. Just before he awoke,
he arrived at a river bank in Minnesota and saw 38 of his Dakota ancestors hanged. At the time,
Jim knew nothing of the largest mass execution in United States history, ordered by Abraham
Lincoln on December 26th, 1862. “”When you have dreams, you know when they come from the
creator… As any recovering alcoholic, I made believe that I didn’t get it. I tried to put it out of
my mind, yet it’s one of those dreams that bothers you night and day.” Now, four years later,
embracing the message of the dream, Jim and a group of riders retrace the 330-mile route of his
dream on horseback from Lower Brule, South
Dakota to Mankato, Minnesota to arrive at the
hanging site on the anniversary of the execution. “We can’t blame the wasichus anymore.
We’re doing it to ourselves. We’re selling
drugs. We’re killing our own people. That’s
what this ride is about, healing.” This is the
story of their journey- the blizzards they endure, the Native and Non-Native communities
that house and feed them along the way, and
the dark history they are beginning to wipe
away.”

October 12th, 2012 – 1:30 pm.
Flandreau Public Elementary School – Commons Area
Redwing Thomas of the FSST
Language Program was at the
FHS Elementary School to
present the elementary students
with a “mini-powwow” in honor
of friendship and Native
American Week.
Redwing was joined by James
Hansen, Jadeen Crawford and
Dawn Taylor, all of Flandreau, to
show the kids how a powwow
works and why they are special.
The students formed a circle for
the dancers and watched intently
as Redwing explained the Grand
Entry and the dancers entered the
arena. After the Grand Entry, a
Flag and Warrior song was
presented, the children learned
the Flag song was to honor all the
Dakota people, while the Warrior
song was to honor all the warriors
and soldiers, past and present.
Then it was time to dance! The
dancers all danced for a couple
songs, then each dancer got a
chance to showcase their
specialties while Redwing gave
a short explanation of each dance
type. Jadeen performed a fancy
dance, Dawn a jingle dress dance,
and James a men’s traditional
dance called a “sneak-up”, where
a story of battle or hunting is
interpreted in the dance.
The students also got to dance in
the last dance of the day, the Intertribal dance, which as was
explained to them, is a dance for
everyone to join in.
It was a great opportunity for the
children to see the Native
13
American culture up close. The
students enjoyed the beautiful
regalia, dance and sounds of a
traditional powwow while
learning and hearing stories.
Congratulations to Redwing for
his work in getting the local
children more interested in our
Native American history and
culture.
“With understanding and respect,
everybody can get along.”

who taught me, but from those

Sally Allen Celebrates 75th Birthday!!!
Few can bring the warmth
We can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring
love
Than the smile on their face.
They’ve a supply of precious
stories,
Yet they’ve time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us
laugh,
They grow more precious through
the years.
I believe that God sent us
Grandparents
As our legacy from above,
To share the moments of our life,
As extra measures of His love.

Runners wrap up season at State Meet
Posted: Tuesday, Oct 23rd, 2012
BY: Billy Stitz
Seven Moody County crosscountry runners ended their
seasons on Saturday afternoon
when they took part in the South
Dakota State Cross-Country
meet in Huron.
The Fliers of Flandreau Public
School were responsible for four
of those runners, three on
the boy’s side. Anthony
Julson led the way for the
boy’s team for the first time
all season. The freshman
finished the race in 25th
place, running a time of
18:06.52, taking the final
All-State medal. Guy
Zephier, who is taking part
in his fifth straight State
cross-country
meet,
finished the race in
18:18.72, good enough for
33rd position. Dylan
Erickson rounded out the Fliers
boy’s team in his first State
tournament appearance with a
36th place finish in a time of
18:19.97.
The Flandreau Indian School had
two runners at Saturday’s meet.
Griffin Cross, who has been the
Indians standout runner all year,
finished in 63rd position with a
time of 18:47.02. Francis Waters
finished just a few spots behind
him in 66th position with a time
of 18:49.77. Cross is a junior
making his second straight
appearance at the meet and
Waters made the meet for the first
time this year as
a senior. Junior,
Eric Yager of
Hot Springs
won the Class
“A” individual
meet
but
Madison took
home the team
title with three
r u n n e r s
finishing in the
top six.
Marilyn Allen was the sole
female representative for FPS
with her 27th place finish. Allen
ran 3,500 meters of the race with
only one shoe and still finished
the race in 16:23.24, two spots
25
outside the All-State medaling
position. The freshman made her
third straight State appearance on
Saturday. Emily Hawkes from
Madison won the girl’s Class “A”
title but Spearfish was able to
capture the top spot in the team
competition.
Colman-Egan was represented
by eighth-grader Jessica
Wittirock, making her first
appearance in the State CrossCountry meet. Wittrock took
home a 57th place finish out of
108 runners. Wittrock’s time of
18:04.68 was two and half
minutes faster than the last place
finisher. Genevive Clark of
Gayville-Volin took the Class
“B” girl’s title but her team came
in second to a strong Ipswich
team whose top three runners
finished in second, third and
fourth.
