The group from Hannahville with William Mehoja
In addition to the
group from Hannahville, other FACE
sites were also represented. During the
meetings, everyone
shared their stories,
history of the program, its effectiveness and thoughts for
the future.
The group was able
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Hearing
to sit in on a Senate
Committee on Indian Affiars Hearing on Childhood Education in Indian
Country. The federal government operates countless early childhood development and education programs throughout the federal structure.
Hannahville’s FACE Program would like to thank everyone who participated
in the video testimonials and wrote letters of support. Included with a packet
of information and the video was the following quote– An old man walked up
a shore littered with thousands of starfish, beached and dying after a storm. A
young man was picking them up and flinging them back into the ocean. “Why
do you bother?” the old man scoffed. “You’re not saving enough to make a
difference.” The young man picked up another starfish and sent it spinning
back to the water. “Made a difference to that one,” he said. Hannahville’s
FACE Program makes a difference, every day. Thank you to all the families
who have made FACE a success!

Election Information
NOTICE REGARDING CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY TO SERVE ON CHILD WELFARE, HEALTH
AND SCHOOL BOARDS
Note: These requirements are excerpted from the Hannahville Indian Community Background Investigations Policy.
Child Welfare & Health Boards
A person is eligible to serve on the Child Welfare or Health Boards if they have never been convicted under tribal,
state or federal law of, (or pled no contest or nolo contendere to) any of the following: a felony or high court
misdemeanor; or do not have two or more misdemeanor convictions under federal, tribal or state law that are
crimes of: violence; sexual assault; sexual molestation; sexual exploitation; sexual contact; prostitution; crimes
against persons; or offenses committed against children.
School Board
A person is eligible to serve on the School Board if they have never been convicted under tribal, state or federal
law of, (or pled no contest or nolo contendere to) any of the following: a felony or high court misdemeanor;
or do not have two or more misdemeanors involving crimes of: violence; sexual assault; sexual molestation;
sexual exploitation; sexual contact; prostitution; crimes against persons; or offenses committed against children.
A person must report, and may, in future, be prohibited from serving or continuing to serve on the School Board
if the person has been convicted under tribal, state or federal law of, (or pled no contest or nolo contendere to)
any misdemeanor involving: leaving the scene of an accident; selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor; domestic
assault & battery; assault & battery with serious injury; threats or assault & battery against FIA/HHS employees;
obstructing, or and assault against an employee in the course of employment; conduct against a pregnant individual with injury to a fetus or embryo; fourth degree child abuse; allowing consumption or possession of alcohol by
minor(s) at a social gathering; contributing to the delinquency of a minor; intentionally pointing/aiming a firearm
at another; indecent exposure; stalking.
Procedure: If you know that a tribal governmental background investigation has been completed, and prior to
the time that you register to run for election to the above named boards, you should consult your adjudication
certificate to see on what Boards you are eligible to serve. At the time of registration, you will be required to sign
an affidavit identifying any convictions that would prohibit your serving on those boards. Any misrepresentation
will, of course, result in removal from the board, if elected.
Assuming that you are elected and do not have those statutory bars to service, each elected official will be required
to submit to a full governmental background investigation if one has not been previously done, or may be required
to submit to an updated investigation if a full investigation has been done.
We wish to encourage all of our membership to participate in the election process by voting and running for
boards for which they qualify.
We regret that persons who may have had early convictions and who have since led exemplary lives, may continue to experience the ill effects of those earlier mistakes, but these requirements and their enforcement, while
intended to safeguard our children, vulnerable adults and institutions, are applied equally to all.
Sincerely,
Tribal Elections Committee
Hannahville Indian Community
Note: Gaming Commission Background requirements differ from governmental regulations. Please consult with
the Tribal Gaming Commission for those requirements. Call the Legal Department with any questions at 723-2610.

Youth Farm Stand
Are you or is you child 13 years old
and looking for something to do this
summer? Our community has been
given the opportunity to start a YFS
(Youth Farm Stand) with the help
from Michigan State University.
This program is designed to teach teens and pre-teens
entrepreneurship and how to create/manage a garden
and introduce them to the work environment. The
program runs from April 1 through October 31, with
the teens/pre-teens tentative schedule being May 1
through August 31, 2014. If school is still in session
when the program starts, we will meet during the
weekend. More information on exact dates and times
will be available after April 2.
The children will be in charge (under the supervision
of an adult) of the garden and have their own stand
weekly at the Farmers Market in the parking lot of the
Health Clinic. There are classes that they will attend
to get the knowledge of gardening and basic business
skills ( I.E. cost of production and what to sell their
products for) class size is limited to 6.
Upon signing up for this program please understand
that it is very important for the children to attend as
much as possible. Look at it like a job, the more work
put in, the better production will be and knowledge
gained to be successful. At the end of our program
each child will be awarded. It will be up to the children
and the coordinator on what they do with the money
made from the farm stand. A couple options are a field
trip, a salary or to save the money for the next years
garden.
This program is a great opportunity to introduce your
teen to the working environment. I see a positive impact being left on the people who are able to participate. I encourage you to contact me with more questions and to enroll your child. Thank you.
If you are interested or for more information please
contact Jamie Kidd (Y.F.S.P.C/ Youth Farm Stand
Project Coordinator) at (906) 723-3130 or (906)
368-0252.

Hannahville Boxing Club News
Hannahville Boxing Club Fighter, David Metzger, 9 years old, won his
boxing match on February 15th in Plover WI. Dominic also placed 8th in
the National Silver Gloves held in Independence, MO in January. Dominic
really showed he is a National Contender and has what it takes to compete
at an elite level. Placing 8th out of the whole nation is pretty good. Next
year we are going for 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

Hannahville Indian School
To whom it may concern,
I would like to start out by introducing myself. I am the secretary/office manager at the Whitefish Township
Community Schools. Several years ago I used to be the female chaperone for soccer and basketball games.
I would like to let you know that on Saturday, February 1, my husband and I were at the McDonalds in Newberry,
MI. We were the only customers in the restaurant. We had just started eating our lunch when your bus pulled in.
There seemed to be a very small crew working. About the same time they arrived, two truck drivers came in. We
noticed that they got their food and the teams were still in line.
I had gone into the restroom and talked with one of your players. She was a very polite young lady. We spoke
about the games they had played and who they completed against. Then we talked a little about the basketball
team coming to Paradise soon. Afterwards I spoke with one of the coaches.
Everyone from the coaches to all the students in line were very pleasant and the students were also well behaved
in the line.
What impressed me the most was as we were leaving there were some older folks that came in and they were
standing in the back of the line and I heard several of your players tell them to go in front of them. My husband
and I both heard them and commented on what a great gesture that was, and assumed they had done the same for
the truck drivers. At that very moment is when I knew that I had to write you a letter.
We always seem to be told about the inappropriate things that students may do, and I know it is a good feeling to
hear about when they do something kind and good.
Please share this with your coaches amd teams. I believe that positive behavior needs to
be reinforced as much as possible in students and I also believe that often their behavior
is a reflection of the staff and coaches, so kudos to them.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Terry Clark

Family Appreciation Night
What: March is Parenting Awareness Month! To honor our parents, the
Hannahville Early Childhood Programs are providing a night of fun, food,
& entertainment for parents and children!
When: Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Registration at 4:30, followed by music and a meal.
Where: Hannahville Indian School
Jim Gill, an award-winning musician and author, offers more than an
opportunity for active play! In concert, Jim bangs out energetic rhythms
on his banjo while everyone claps, jumps, dances and even sneezes along
to the silly inspiring musical games that he creates. Concerts also feature
opportunities for the “read-along and sing-along” play that Jim uniquely
conveys in his books. But the key ingredients in each concert are the
active participation and the interactions between children and caring
adults. These make each concert a celebration of music and play!
For more information, call Julia at 723-2725 or Rose at 723-2722.
Updates from the FACE Early Childhood Classroom
Bosho! Winter just doesn't seem to want to let up, the snow and cold
seem to be relentless. However, we were finally able to take adavantage of the beautiful snow "mountains" in front of the school for some
winter fun! The parents and children worked together to make their
version of cardboard classic sleds and raced them down the hill! What
awesome memories were made by parents and children alike!
The FACE early childhood classroom has been a busy place this February. The children
who are kindergarten eligible next year have been working on their kindergarten transition skills. They have been eating in the lunchroom, playing in the gym, and spending
2 days a week in the library working on their "journals" and 2 days a week in the computer lab. Journal writing has been a new concept for these kids, but they are excelling!
We have found by journal writing, we are integrating pre-reading skills, promoting language, working on fine motor skills, and we are even able to integrate math and science.
We use colors and shapes to define our work and can even use our journals to make
predictions about the
stories we are reading,
or about future events. It
is our goal to have these
pre-kindergartners
as
ready as possible when
they start kindergarten;
academically, socially
and emotionally. We are
looking forward to all
the events March brings,
especially SPRING!
