Did You Know?
The Hannahville Indian Community Tribal Government is big. The scope of the Tribe’s activities are so
broad that in a non-tribal environment it takes about 15
separate entities to accomplish the same objectives the
Tribal Government accomplishes under one administrative umbrella. For instance, to deliver the same services
that Hannahville delivers to its members, the residents
of Escanaba must rely on the Public School District, Intermediate School District, Health Department, County
Government, City Government, Water Authority, Wastewater Authority, DNR, Parks and Recreation, YMCA,
Childcare providers, Community Action Agency, Economic Development Agency, Michigan Works, Chamber
of Commerce, etc.; and Hannahville does this all (not to
mention the casino, convenience store, and golf course).
Because of the scope of the services under one umbrella,
the Tribe is complex and voluminous. Per the 2011 audit
reports, the governmental expenditures of the Hannahville Indian Community were about $24 million whereas the City of Escanaba had $12 million, Gladstone had $ 4 million, and the City of Menominee had $ 8 million. That means the Tribe’s government
is 6 times as big as Gladstone, 3 times that of Menominee, and 2 times as big as Escanaba.
All of those functions under one entity require that the Tribal administration and staff have the capacity and commitment to juggle many issues and objectives at once, but it drives down the administrative
overhead costs compared to the overall cost of service delivery. The Tribal Government is big, but its
administration structure is efficient … and it’s good to be big yet efficient.

Tribal Economic Forum focuses on economic diversification
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) hosted its third annual tribal-state economic
forum in Lansing on May 17 and 18. The event was attended by about 85 people, including representatives
from nine of Michigan’s 12 Indian tribes, as well as participants from other tribes from across the United
States.
“We are excited to be working with Michigan’s Indian tribes to grow more and better jobs and retain our
youth and talent in Michigan,” said Terri Fitzpatrick, Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa and vice president of tribal
business development for the MEDC. “The MEDC works with each tribe on an individual basis, respectful
of unique interests and proprietary information.”
Attendees were exposed to a variety of business development topics ranging from business, finance and
government contracting to agri-business, aquaculture and alternative energy. Three of Michigan’s tribes
– the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, and the Hannahville
Potawatomi Indian Community – shared inspirational project stories with the gathering.
Lisa McComb, executive director of Northern Shores Loan
Fund, Inc., a native certified
community development financial institution, discussed the
various entrepreneurial funding
and services provided by NSLF,
Inc. to the local community. The
Northern Shores Loan Fund was
formed by the Little Traverse
Bay Bands to promote economic
and community development.
Dennis Worden, legislative director for the Native American Contractors Association in Washington, D.C.,
and a member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Idaho, encouraged tribes to use their distinct tribal advantages
to pursue federal contracting opportunities.
“The federal government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world,” Worden said.
Kip Richie, Forest County Potawatomi of Wisconsin and chief operation officer for the Potawatomi Business Development Corporation, served as the keynote speaker and provided an overview of how his tribe
initiated its non-gaming business diversification efforts.
“It did not happen overnight and not everything was a win,” Richie said. “But we successfully moved from
passive investments to purchasing existing companies and pursuing federal contracting.”
“A job on the res is a job in the region,” said Eric Trevan, a member of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band
of Pottawatomi, Gun Lake Tribe, and president and chief executive officer of Anishnabe Development. “I
encourage tribal officials to plan for sustainable cooperative economies.”
Frank Ettawageshik, Little Traverse Bay Band Odawa, who serves as the Executive Director of the United
Tribes of Michigan, said the event and advancement of state-tribal business development collaboration had
come a long way.
“We used to sit and talk about what we could do, what we should do. Today we’re here talking about what
we are doing, and what we have done,” Ettawageshik said.

Art Mural
It all started with some students saying “we need to paint that blank wall” and now the Art Room at
Nah Tah Wahsh PSA has a new mural incorporating Potawatomi culture on one of its walls. Seniors
Brittany Williams and Alyssa Sagataw challenged themselves to design and paint the 8’ x 12’ mural
for their senior art project for their final semester before they graduated. The goal was to leave behind
their legacy and also give back to the school through their art work. In January 2012 they wrote their
proposal, drew up a preliminary sketch of the idea and presented it to Mr. Boda. From there it went
to Mr. Miller and the School board for final approval. The mural was completed in May, just before
graduation and has become a focal point in the Art Room.
The mural depicts an eagle rising out of a fire. Alyssa states that “when there’s a scared fire we place
our tobacco into it to send our prayers to the creator. We know from culture that the eagle is our neshnabe messenger who looks over us and also carries our prayers to the creator. With the eagle coming
out of the fire we figured we would show that the eagle is taking the prayers of the people to the creator. Also, our sunrise is created from the four colors of the medicine wheel to represent our culture”.
In addition, a border was painted around the mural with quotes from the Great Spirit Prayer.

There are two week- long sessions left: July 9th - July 13th, and August 13th
– August 17th. This year we are requiring a pre-registration and a fee to cover
the cost of food, so if you do not register ahead of time you will not be able to eat
breakfast or lunch. The Summer Language Immersion Camps are part of Project
Ewikkendaswat Ekenomagewat, funded through a three-year Language Revitalization grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA).
The first week of this year’s immersions has completed. We had another successful week with over 40 participants from many places including lower Michigan,
Kansas and Oklahoma. The mornings were spent with Jim Thunder, Mary Jane
Thunder and Thomas Loftis. Participants created sentences to be broken down,
reviewed and revised if neccessary. After lunch, activities were offered. Hannahville Indian School language teachers Kyle Kovish and Jessica Arkens put on
an activity using legos using the Potawatomi language that taught participants
how to create basic sentences about family. Another afternoon Kristy Phillips,
High School language teacher lead a game of instruction where participants had
to dress in different articles of clothing. It was very entertaining yet educational
at the same time.
We have had a great turn out from the other tribes and this year we would like
to encourage more HIC tribal members to attend the event this summer. This
is held right in our backyard and more of our people should be able to attend!
We hear so many talking about wanting to learn the language. Well, this is your chance to learn – so
don’t be afraid to come learn. We are not all on the same level of fluency on the language. We have
plenty of fun activities during the week-long event, which can be very entertaining as well. We have
lots of prizes to give away! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact Dawn Hill 7232272 or Molly Meshigaud at 723-2270. You can also visit www.potawatomilanguage.org for more
information. We hope to see many of you there!

Culture Information
Bosho Hannahville Tribal Members,
At the request of a Tribal Member I went to visit
the Cemetery over a concern that they had. Upon
my arrival I could see very clearly why there is
such a concern about the crowded look that the
cemetery is taking on. The concern was over the
sizes of the spirit houses that people are putting
up. Looking at it from that point of view it looks
like there are a bunch of dog houses out there and
from another point of view it looks like people
are starting to put up townhouses and condominiums. The intent is good but when people don’t
understand why they are there it ends up to be
the way it is today.
If people were taken before their time either by
accident, intoxication, murder or suicide then
chances are those people would need a spirit
house because they are going to need extended
help. When the service for them is over it is not
done for those one’s yet their spirit cannot go
back home so they build them a spirit house and
the survivors of the deceased go there and place
water and food to feed their spirits. All other people who go from natural causes in reality do not
need that same extended care however we still
have an honor feast for the departed at one year.
The little spirit house don’t really need to be as
big as some people are beginning to make them.
A little house about eight to ten inch boards for
the walls and with the roof in place stands about
twelve inches high by about 22 to 24 inches long
is sufficient. A little opening for the door to place
food or berries in is big enough. It almost looks
like everyone is trying to outdo or make their
house bigger and better than the last one in there,
take it easy, something small and simple is the
best. Think about it nobody want to be in a big ole
house all alone it gets lonely in there. If we could
just suggest to downsize a little.
Ge tthe mi gwetth,
Earl J. Meshigaud Sr.
