We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

The Toll on Health • People with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to be hospitalized for a heart a ack or stroke. • Diabetes causes nearly 50% of all cases of kidney failure. • More than half of all amputa ons in adults occur in people with diabetes. • More than half a million American adults have advanced diabe c re nopathy, greatly increasing their risk for severe vision loss. • About 60-70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nerve damage that could result in pain in the feet or hands, slowed diges on, sexual dysfunc on and other nerve problems. Cost of Diabetes • The American Diabetes Associa on es mates that the total na onal cost of diagnosed diabetes in the United States is $245 billion. • Direct medical costs reach $176 billion and the average medical expenditure among people with diabetes is 2.3 mes higher than those without the disease. • Indirect costs amount to $69 billion (disability, work loss, premature mortality). • One in 10 health care dollars is spent trea ng diabetes and its complica ons. • One in five health care dollars is spent caring for people with diabetes. The American Diabetes Associa on is behind the largest na onal movement to Stop Diabetes and its deadly consequences.

Clifford Canku, Michael Simon honored with Leadership in
History awards for The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters
The American Association for State and Local History
Awards, St. Paul, MN have honored two SWO Tribal
members.
Clifford Canku and Michael Simon of Sisseton SD have
distinguished themselves by being awarded this year's
Leadership in History.
The program continues "to establish and encourage
standards of excellence in the collection, preservation,
and interpretation of state and local history." Minnesota
Historical Society, St. Paul for the publication The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters; Dakota Kaskapi Okicize
Wowapi.
This groundbreaking work presents the story of the 1862 U.S. Dakota War and its
aftermath from the long silenced Native American perspective.
Canku and Simon translated fifty Dakota letters from the 270 Dakota men who
were moved from Mankato, MN, to a prison camp in Davenport, Iowa, where
they lived and suffered for three long wretched years.
This book is dedicated to the Dakota akicita wicakaskapi (prisoners of war).
Over 120 men did not come home, many were innocent but they paid the ultimate
price because they were warriors.
We close with an honoring song for them –
Oyate ki kawitaya au ca, ecas miksuyapo
When the people gather, you must remember me

Saying this, Dakota boy went away to be a soldier.

2014 Immuniza ons for FSST’s Buffalo Herd
October 22nd was the date for the Buffalo Program set for immuniza on shots for the Tribe’s buffalo herd. This was a two day process for the Buffalo Program staff Derrick BoseBuffalo Manager and JC Fisherman-Buffalo Herdsman and Lauren Herrick, Jr. - Inventory Manager and Steve Studsdaul-Facili es Director and Lynn Hart, Cody Bose, Lindsey Bird and Fred Redwing assis ng with this huge task. There were a total of 214 buffalo there were immunized with three shots. All of the buffalo and calves had delousing medica on poured over the back of their heads and on their backs. Rounding up the buffalo herd from the fields to the pens and corrals was not an easy task. The buffalo showed that they were not going to cooperate, be disturbed or interrupted from to their daily rou ne. Luckily, the crew suffered had only a few minor scrapes, bumps and bruises from this fall round-up. The Buffalo crew had to get them into the barn with fencing lined so they could enter into stanchions (chutes) to hold them in place for the immunizaon and inocula on injec ons. Once the buffalo were in place, the buffalo crew could read 16 their tags and iden fy if they were male or female, then the buffalo received their shots. Most of the calves stuck close to their mothers. All of this is done manually which took the whole crew to help. The veterinarian was Dr. Larry Geiltz, from Pipestone, Minnesota. Dr. Geiltz has experience working with buffalo herds and professionally trained for this. It was an awesome experience to be able to get up close with the buffalo crew and veterinarians to see how this is done every year and take close up pictures. It would not be wise to ever try to get close to the female buffalo with a calf. They are very protec ve of their young. Their strength is very powerful! –Elise Montoya FSST NOVEMBER 2014 NEWSLETTER

Deb Burlage, CNP named
SD Nurse PracƟƟoner of
the Year
Deb Burlage, CNP has
worked as the Flandreau Santee Clinic as a locum tenens
provider for a little over two
years. The clinic was informed earlier this month that
Deb was recently awarded the
Nurse Practitioner of the Year
award in South Dakota. The
clinic is honored to have to
have such a high quality, caring provider practicing at the

Debra Burlage
Deb Burlage’s journey
through nursing has taken her
from Pine Ridge to Peru, from
college to cardiology, from
bedside nursing to helping
build a diabetes program and
a
heart hospital.
Deb always wanted to be a
nurse, and started down that
path right after she graduated
from high school in Elkton,
SD. She continued nursing
and her education until she
earned her CNP in 2007.
Along the way, she was a
member of the leadership
teams for the genesis of the
Heart
Hospital of South Dakota, the
Disease Management Program at Avera Health and the
Family Planning Program at
South Dakota State University. Those are just a few of
her
accomplishments, though.
The most important part of
her job is serving people with
caring and compassion. Today
Deb says her journey is enriched by the lives that have
touched hers – and those she
has touched. “So many people have helped me along the
way,” she says, “and I hope I
can help others on their journey, too.”
