As Robert J. Durant sat anxiously in
Mahnomen’s Golden Eagle Bingo Hall
waiting for the White Earth election

and prayed for good news.
His prayers were answered as he
defeated Eugene “Bugger” McArthur in
the run for secretary-treasurer with 1,632
votes or 66 percent. McArthur received
807 votes.
“It’s been a long journey and an
experience like no other,” Durant said.
Meanwhile,
Irene
“Rene”
Auginaush celebrated with family and
friends after winning yet another term as
District I Representative by 296 votes, or
52 percent against Steven (Punky)
Clark, who received 267 votes.
It was a close call for the District II
Committeeman

Anishinaabeg Today
More than 80 students, educators, community members, tribal council and friends of
the White Earth Nation helped break ground
for a new $16 million Circle of Life School
June 9 on the former “Mission” site.
“This is the day that we change the face
of education in White Earth,” said COLS
Superintendent Mitch Vogt as he gathered
people together for an official groundbreaking. “We will finally provide our children
now and in the future a school building that is
conducive to teaching and learning. I know I
speak on behalf of the whole Circle of Life
School community that we feel very blessed
today to have this opportunity to break ground
on our new Circle of Life School.”
As a former educator, White Earth
Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor has been looking forward this historic day.
“Today is the most storied day I can think
of when we can break ground for an educational institution for our youth. They are our
future,” said Vizenor. “The Circle of Life
School has never had an adequate building for
education. Everyone worked hard for the past

News From Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor
Congratulations to newly elected Secretary/Treasurer
Robert Durant and congratulations to re-elected District II
Representative Terrence “Terry” Tibbetts, and District I
Representative Irene “Rene” Auginaush. It is an honor to
serve with you. May we continue to move the great White
Earth Nation forward with progress and development.
Groundbreaking was held for a new $1 million
women’s shelter at White Earth. Frannie Franken, wife of
Senator Al Franken has requested a visit to the site of the
new shelter in July.
Groundbreaking also was held for a new $16 million
K-12 Circle of Life School. It has taken 10 years to finally get the funding and approval from the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA) to construct a new school that is long overdue. Construction will take at least 15 months.
In 2000, Circle of Life Principal Mitch Vogt and I traveled to the BIA education hearing in Aberdeen, S.D., to testify and request a new school. Since then, we have had to
hold the BIA accountable to keep our name on the list and
to provide adequate funds. Our persistent conference calls
and trips to the BIA in Albuquerque have paid off. Thank
you to Joan LaVoy, Education Director, for all of your hard
work in this project. We have much to be thankful for.
Recently White Earth Tribe was awarded $108,000 for
Year One from the State of Minnesota for Ojibwe
Language Revitalization, a project that we will share with
the other Ojibwe tribes in Minnesota. We know how vital
our language is to preserving our way of life as a people
and tribe. There are many to thank: White Earth Planning
Department, especially Pam Keezer; White Earth
Education Department, especially Joan LaVoy; the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe for endorsing us to take the project; and Lorna LaGue as tribal appointee on the Dakota
Ojibwe Language Revitalization task force, Minnesota
Indian Affairs Council. I am confident White Earth will do
an outstanding job with the language grant and will receive
continuing funds from the State.
There are other developments to be thankful and proud
of, such as a new spiritual and cultural lodge at the White
Earth Rediscovery Center on White Earth Lake, a beautiful
260 acre site that the Lutheran Church repatriated back to
the tribe in the late 1990s. The White Earth Transit system
has been successful and I will be traveling to Washington,
D.C., for permanent funding to operate transportation on
the White Earth Reservation. The transit hub (Depot) in
Detroit Lakes will open.
Development takes time and hard work, doesn’t happen overnight. However, we see the fruits of labor and
commitment.
In the midst of our progress, there have been a small
minority of disgruntled, negative people (mostly losers in
elections) who don’t want the White Earth Nation to develop and move forward. These people have circulated two
petitions for my removal as tribal chairwoman. The petitions have no merit but are intended to distract and cause
turmoil.
They don’t like the tribal law enforcement department
and the tribal court system, they claim these violate the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe (MCT) Constitution in spite of
the fact that all MCT bands have their own law enforcement and courts. They circulate false statements and lies,
such as Erma enrolls people less than  degree blood quantum. It has gotten to a point where I must pursue legal
action to stop these malicious lies and the extortion they are
using to get unwary people to sign petitions. One even tried
to use physical force on me. I filed an assault complaint
against the individual. It is a disruption to the work that I
do on behalf of the 20,000 members that I serve.
Wherever I go, people give their support to me and tell
me I am doing a good job, to stay strong. I will stand
strong. There is much to do. The possibilities and progress
for our tribe are endless and I know how to get it done.
Thank you, majority of the great White Earth Nation, for
your encouragement and support.
News From Distict I - Rep. Irene Auginaush
The 12th Annual Rice Lake Memorial Walk was a
huge success with more than 250 walkers wearing bright
green shirts. There was 200 shirts distributed to the participants this year. It was an awesome sight to see elders in
wheelchairs and adults walking with their children. There
were babies in strollers and children on bikes as people
drove along in 4-wheelers passing out bottles of water.
There was family of Gerald “Gondi” Beauchamp from
Wisconsin who traveled here to walk in his memory. There
was a family from Moorhead who comes every year to
walk for Russell Thompson Jr., and Russell Thompson Sr.
There were many from Minneapolis walking for family
members.

gone on to the spirit world. The satisfaction of walking for
a loved one is therapeutic for many stuck in the grieving
process.
Many have commented about how on this day they can
let the world know that their loved one is not forgotten and
is still loved and missed. It is a rewarding feeling to push
yourself with stamina and determination to keep walking,
it’s like telling yourself, your loved one and the world “I
love you and I still miss you.”
Many have walked every year since it began 12 years
ago. Some families make their own T-shirts with pictures
and names of their family members that have passed on.

462 votes, or 49 percent.
Durant ran for secretary-treasurer four
years ago but didn’t make it to the general
election.
This time, he said, he put more effort
into his campaign. His motivation was “the
future of our government and the unknown
possibilities that could affect the White
Earth Nation,” he said.
After running a “clean campaign,” he
looks forward to serving on the tribal council with plans to work closely with state and
federal governments.
referring to numerous negative comments
made about her on social networking sites
like Facebook.
But starting at 7:30 a.m. June 8, she
received many good luck phone calls and
text messages that made her feel good
about the election night, she added.
District II Committeeman Tibbetts,
wants to bring more attention to the positives that have developed on the reservation
in the past four years he’s been on the council.
“I’m concerned that there are forces all
around us that try to weaken our tribal sovereignty and treaty rights.
“There is so much garbage out there,”
he said. “It’s dragged down to a level where
people are expected to believe anything
about you.”
“I see our nation as a nation of opportunity and in many aspects an untapped
economical market that can bring wealth
and prosperity to everyone in the nation,”
he added.
During the past few years, the White
Earth Reservation gained a tribal college,
an inexpensive mass transit system, a
native public defense system and major
infrastructure, Tibbetts said.
Newly re-elected Auginaush plans to
strengthen housing opportunities for the
elderly in her Rice Lake community — she
received 139 votes there, while Clark
received 73.
The voter turnout in his district was
high compared to previous years —in
Naytahwaush, 707 ballots were cast.
With more people moving back to the
reservation, it seems more economical to
provide affordable elderly housing instead
of maintaining older homes, she said.
Although she has served on the council
for 16 years, she said this year’s campaign
was the most difficult of all.
“It was a mean campaign,” she said,
“That was the highest we’ve had since
I’ve been working at the Naytahwaush
precinct,” said Oscar Oppegard, who has
been a Naytahwaush election official for
eight years.
In the White Earth precinct, 213 voted
for Durant, while 83 voted for McArthur.
Absentee ballots accounted for a total
of 915 votes out of nearly 4,000 cast in the
June 8 election.

WE enrollee elected President of the Native
American & Indigenous Studies Association
Jean “Jeani” O’Brien (White Earth Nation)
began her term as President of the Native American
and Indigenous Studies Association in May.
O’Brien grew up in Faribault, Minn., and fondly remembers spending summers with her grandmother, Edna Tonneson, in Mahnomen. She choose
to attend Bemidji State University to be near family.
Upon completion of her B.A. she attend the
University of Chicago for her Ph.D. Today O’Brien
is a professor in the Department of History at the
University of Minnesota and a former Chair of the
Department of American Studies and the Department
of American Indian Studies.
She is the author of Dispossession by Degrees:
Indian Land and Identity in Natick, Massachusetts,
1650-1790 (New York: Cambridge University Press,
1997), First and Lasting: New England Indians In
and Beyond the Nineteenth-Century Local
Imagination (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota
Press, 2010), and numerous articles.
O’Brien was one of several scholars who recognized a need for a professional association for scholars who work in the academic field of Native
American and Indigenous studies. She served on the
Steering Committee, which founded the organization. “We wanted to create a location where people
working in Indigenous Studies across a range of
institutions, specialties, and nations could come
together to learn from each other and exchange our
work,” stated O’Brien.
In 2007 the group organized a meeting to determine if there was support for the formation of an
official association. The meeting was a success and
the task of writing a constitution, by-laws and other
governing documents were written and adopted in
2008. The Native American and Indigenous Studies
Association (NAISA) was founded in 2008. It is a
professional association dedicated to supporting
scholars and others who work in the academic field
of Native American and Indigenous studies. NAISA
hosts the premier scholarly meeting in Native studies. The association has more than 800 members
from over a dozen countries and scores of
Indigenous nations.
Members of the new organization elected
O’Brien as president-elect in 2009 and she began her
one-year term as president in May 2010. O’Brien is
“excited to be in a position to facilitate the work of
this association in educating the broader public about
the vibrancy and centrality of Indigenous people
globally.”

Monday thru Friday
White Earth Emergency Management and Mahnomen
County Emergency Management received a grant from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
to install early warning devises throughout the White Earth
Reservation.
Anything needed before 9 a.m. should be submitted the day
prior too, and anything submitted after 4 p.m. will not be
processed until the following business morning.
The devises will be used to warn the public on severe
eeather/tornado, flooding, chemical spills, and civil defense.
The sirens will be activated through the White Earth Dispatch
and the Mahnomen County Sheriff’s Office.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Toni Weaver
Constituents Services
The sirens feature three distinct signals: Wail, Steady,
and Fast Wail. The public is encouraged to seek shelter once
the sirens have been activated.
Sirens were placed in following communities: Rice
Lake, Naytahwaush, Elbow Lake, Pine Point, and White
Earth. Additionally, sirens were also placed in the cities of
Bejou, Mahnomen, Waubun, Ogema, and Callaway.
Emergency Management selected the sites within the
communities and based the selection on security and centralized location. In light of recent tornados and severe weather,
our communities are much more prepared for any hazard that
poses a threat.
This siren is located between the old RTC
building the WE Community Center.

Rez Briefs
By Jill Doerfler
doerflj@umn.edu
It was great to be home for the pow-wow, even
with the rain and cooler temperatures. It is always
good to come together and celebrate our nation. I
also enjoyed talking with folks about the constitution
and tribal citizenship. Many folks tell me the blood
quantum recorded by both the federal government
and by the tribe is wrong. They explain the reason it
is wrong and wonder how their blood quantum fraction or percentage can be corrected.
The BIA has been criticized for not having any
standardized way to determine blood quantum. The
reason they are unable to create standardization is
because blood quantum is not real, there is no way to
measure how much Anishinaabe blood someone has.
There is no test that can provide these results.
This does not mean that we are not Anishinaabe.
We are a nation with a rich heritage and dynamic culture that is always growing and adapting. While this
cannot be measured that does not mean it is not real
or important. Ojibwe scholar Tomas Peacock has
written “we acknowledge our responsibility to pass
down the story of our people to future generations.
We own them that.” We cannot pass down our culture and traditions though blood; it is not that simple.
As Peacock states, we have a responsibility to pass
things on, to teach others who want to learn.
Blood quantum is a flawed system that cannot
be corrected so we need to find a new system that
works for us in a good way.
The system that our ancestors and tribal leaders
advocated for during the first half of the twentieth
century was lineal descent. They wanted to use family relationships to decide who could become a tribal citizen. They discussed the importance of relationship and of continuance. They were concerned that
blood quantum would compromise the vitality of our
nation and they were right. Blood quantum has
caused division and exclusion. Efforts to correct
blood quantum are wasted as the idea of ethnic purity is misguided. Our time is better spent working on
a new solution. The ratified White Earth constitution
provides us with this solution. Using lineal descent
puts the focus on family and relationship, which honors our ancestors and relatives. It also enacts sovereignty and demonstrates that we are a nation, a political body; we are not a just a race or a minority
group.
Our status as a nation is based on our inherent
rights and has been recognized by the U.S. in treaties
and other agreements. These political documents are
between two nations – not between two races. They
are not based on blood quantum. All nations are
faced with questions about their culture and citizenship. What makes someone an American? What
makes someone a Canadian? What are the differences between these two nations? What makes them
distinct political bodies? What are the cultural differences? There are no simple answers but political status and citizenship play a major role in answering the
question. It is not American blood that makes someone American; it is much more complicated.
Many American Indian scholars have written
about what it means to be a tribal citizen. For example, Mohawk scholar Taiaike Alfred argues:
“…’Mohawk’ and ‘nationhood’ are inseparable.
Both are simply about being. Being is who you are,
and a sense of who you are is arrived at through your
relationships with other people—your people. So
who we are, is tied with what we are: a nation.”
Similarly Lumbi scholar David Wilkins has argued,
“tribal nations were and should become again sacred
bodies of related kinfolk. This is the essence of what
it means to be a tribal citizen within a First Nation.”
Likewise, we are dealing with the question:
What makes someone a White Earth Anishinaabe?
There are many possible answers to this question.
The answer that the ratified constitution provides is:
Family. Family is at the core of who we are as
Anishinaabe. It is our families that teach us and care
for us; those things cannot be found or measured in
blood but they are in our relationships. We can build
an everlasting nation by using our families to form
the heart of who we are.

On June 21, 2009, at 1 a.m. Chad Gulbertson
went to the home of Jody lee Morrow 38, of Albert
Lea Minn. In violation of an order for protection that
Jody had obtained on June 1, he killed her by hitting
her in the head with a ball peen hammer. Legal documents show that he had physically abused and

charged with second degree murder. Dale Nyren pled
guilty to murder charges in August. Sharon is survived by three sons, five grandchildren, a great
grandchild, and siblings.
Alexander Heikes killed his infant son,
Alexander Heikes, 7 weeks old. Formerly of
Minneapolis, Alexander killed his infant son by
squeezing his abdomen so hard that the infant’s liver
and spleen were lacerated and bled into his abdominal cavity. When Heikes woke up several hours later
with the baby laying on his chest, the baby was dead.
The medical authorities also identified a dozen healing rib fractures from earlier abuse. Heikes has been
charged with unintentional second-degree homicide.
Baby Alexander is survived by his mother.
It is impossible to predict with certainty which
batterers will become lethal to their victims. All batterers should be viewed as potentially deadly, though
there are well documented indicators of lethality of
which everyone should be aware. Included in the factors that have been identified as possible lethality
indicators are: separation, extended history of
domestic violence or other violence, pregnancy,
threats or fantasies of homicide or suicide, access to
a firearm, threats to use a weapon, stalking, attempted strangulation, forced sex, extreme jealousy and
control of daily activities.
Domestic violence and domestic homicide have
a devastating effect on every person living in
Minnesota. Each of the victims that died in these
assaults was someone’s daughter, son, mother, father,
sister, brother, family member, intimate partner,
friend, neighbor, or co-worker. An abusive relationship that ends in the murder of the victim illustrates
the failure of our system and society to respond to the
needs of battered women and abused children. Help
protect the people you love.

how to get help call the DOVE Program at 1-877830-3683 (DOVE). For more information on the

THE DOCTOR’S CORNER
What We Know About Childhood Obesity
By Dr. Michael Laroque
White Earth Health Center
Definitions of overweight and obesity
The human body is a delicate balance of water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. When people consume
more calories from food than they expend through physical activity,
they throw off this balance and cause their bodies to store the excess
calories as fat. In extreme cases of fat buildup and weight gain, overweight and obesity result – posing serious threats to physical and
mental health.
Overweight and obesity is classified according to a measurement
called the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is defined as a person's
weight in kilograms divided by his height in meters squared (kg/m
2). Among adults, a BMI between 25 and 30 signifies overweight,
and a BMI greater than 30 signifies obesity.
Overweight among youths is diagnosed according to gender and
age-specific BMI growth curves. An overweight child is defined
as having a BMI at or above the 95th percentile, and a child at risk
of becoming overweight has a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentiles. There is no established definition of obesity in children
and adolescents.
Facts and figures: How fat is our nation?
• Almost 2/3 of U.S. adults aged 20-74 years are overweight, including 30 percent who are obese, according to the 1999-2000 National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In the past
three decades, adulthood obesity incidence has increased 100 percent.
• Among persons aged 6-19, an estimated 15 percent, or 9 million
youths, are overweight. In the past three decades, the numbers have
more than tripled for children aged 6-11 (from 4 percent in 1971-74
to 15 percent in 1999-2000) and doubled for adolescents aged 12-19
(from 6 percent to 15 percent).
• In addition to the 15 percent of youths who are overweight, data
suggest that another 15 percent are at risk of becoming overweight
(BMI between the 85 th and 95 th percentiles).
Financial implications: Obesity = profound economic burden
• In 2000, the costs of obesity in the United States were estimated
at $117 billion – $61 million due to direct healthcare costs (i.e. preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services for obesity and related
diseases) and $56 million on indirect costs (i.e. wages lost because
of illness or disability, and future earnings lost because of premature
death).
• Among children and adolescents, the annual cost of treating obesity-related diseases has increased more than threefold, from $35
million in 1979-1981, to $127 million in 1997-1999.
• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a 10
percent weight loss could reduce an overweight person's lifetime
medical costs by $2,200-$5,300.
Trends and disparities in race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status,
and gender
Obesity has spread rapidly across race, gender, and class lines,
but its prevalence has increased disproportionately among AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and Native American children.
- In contrast to the 12-13 percent of Caucasian youth who are
overweight, 24 percent of Mexican-American youth, 20 percent of
non-Hispanic African-American children and 24 percent of AfricanAmerican adolescents are overweight. An estimated 38-39 percent
of Native American youth are at risk of becoming overweight,
according to a 1999 Aberdeen Indian Health Service study.
- Prevalence is particularly high among Mexican-American
boys (>27 percent of children and teens) and African-American girls
(22 percent of children and 27 percent of adolescents).
While a lower level of parental income and education increases
the risk of being overweight among Caucasian children, higher
socioeconomic status does not necessarily protect from overweight
and obesity among African-American and Hispanic children.

Discovering Ojibwe, a multimedia approach to learning about the Ojibwe culture and
language, has announced three projects it will be working on during this summer:
Discovering The Little Brothers, The Ojibwe Hand Drum, and Ojibwe Place Names.
The audio version of the three projects will be broadcast on 91.7 KAXE, Northern
Community Radio based in Grand Rapids, Minn., with funding from the Minnesota Arts
and Cultural Heritage Fund. Video coverage will be used on various educational websites
and there are preliminary plans to incorporate the multimedia coverage into Ojibwe language apps for cell phones.
Discovering Ojibwe was founded by White Earth member Chelsea Annette and Luke
Durand, the author and illustrator respectively of “Discovering The Little Brothers” - the
first of a series of childrens books about the Ojibwe language and culture. The audio version of the book was broadcast on 91.7 KAXE during the Morning Show with Scott Hall
and Maggie Montgomery on June 23. The next phase of this project is to expand on the 11
Ojibwe teachings in the book and show how they relate to modern life. These 11 fiveminute audio segments are scheduled for broadcast on 91.7 KAXE in early Fall 2010.
The second project is a one-hour radio documentary about the Ojibwe Hand Drum.
Elders, drummers, and other experts will share their knowledge about the proper way to
show respect to a hand drum and what it means for a drum to be an animate object with a
spirit. 91.7 KAXE will broadcast the documentary in late Fall 2010.
The third project is the start of an on-going plan to collect information about the
Ojibwe names of locations in northern Minnesota. The idea is to find out what the Ojibwe
name for a town or lake is or was and then discuss with elders and other knowledgeable
experts about what the Ojibwe name means and why it was given to that location. Great
emphasis will be placed on encouraging all local residents to participate in this project. 10
three-minute audio segments about specific locations will be broadcast on 91.7 KAXE
during the Winter of 2010 with more to come as the project develops.
Discovering Ojibwe has partnered with DMcD Productions, Inc. of Grand Rapids to
handle all the technical aspects of the multimedia production including video, photography, and audio recording. DMcD Productions also serves as the publisher of the
Discovering Ojibwe book series.

Native Alive Campaign
committee members keep busy during summer months
By Verna Olson
Native Alive Campaign
The Native Alive Campaign joined forces with
the Diabetes’s Program and DOVE for a very successful 5K walk/run at the White Earth Pow-Wow.
All participants received medals for finishing, as well
as T-shirts and running packets. Trophies were also
awarded to the top three male and female finishers in
each of the four age groups. There were over 80 runners and walkers that participated in this year’s
event!
We are excited about the group of individuals
that gather each month to address suicide on the
White Earth Indian Reservation. We call this group
NAC Pack. NAC Pack members have been working
hard in three areas, divided up into the following
committees; the process committee, the awareness
committee and the volunteer committee.
Our Process Committee is working through the
details of setting up a toll-free support hotline. This
committee is also busy developing each step of the
process, from when a call is received, to the
response, on through to ensuring that the person with
suicide thoughts is safe.
Our Awareness Committee held a very successful Taco Sale at the White Earth Community Center
on June 24. With the help of many NAC Pack members, community members, and businesses we were
able to raise a significant amount of money to help
with our upcoming support hotline. This was truly a
team effort and a prime example of what we can do
when we all come together. Through events like this
we will be able to successfully sustain a support hotline on the White Earth Reservation.
Our Volunteer Committee continues to recruit
volunteers who are willing to participate in the
Native Alive Campaign. They are also organizing
and planning SafeTALK trainings in the community.
SafeTALK is a three-hour training that prepares people to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and
connect them to suicide resources in our area. Please
be looking for your opportunity to be trained in
SafeTALK.
NAC Pack continues to invite you to participate
in our efforts of reducing suicide activity on the
White Earth Indian Reservation. NAC Pack meets
the first Wednesday of each month at 8 to 10 a.m.
NAC Pack offers a supportive environment while
working towards our common goal. Our method of
breaking up into working groups/committees is proving to be very beneficial and successful thus far. We
are excited to see what is yet to come!
Check us out at nativealivecampaign.com
Native Alive Campaign Mission Statement: To
create a community full of hope within the White
Earth Reservation; offering dedicated support and
assistance to those in need of strength and encouragement. To empower, support and educate community members with the ultimate goal of reducing suicide and depression and increasing the quality of life
for all who live here.
Senate Indian Affairs Committee examines
need for new diabetes treatment, research
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) --- The U.S. Senate
Indian Affairs Committee conducted a hearing June
29 to highlight the growing crisis of diabetes across
the nation, particularly in Indian Country, and examine the need for new treatment and research.
Nationwide more than 24 million people have
diabetes, with another 6 million undiagnosed and
close to 50 million borderline diabetic. The prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. has increased more than
four-fold over the last 30 years. The burden of this
disease is even more severe among Native
Americans, where the prevalence is double the
national average. In fact, in some tribal communities
the prevalence of diabetes has reached 60 percent.
“Diabetes has become a nationwide health care
crisis, and the crisis has struck particularly hard in
our Native American communities,” said Chairman
of the Indian Affairs Committee Senator Byron
Dorgan (D-ND). “The outdated and underfunded
health care system on Indian lands hinders the ability of Native Americans with diabetes to get necessary treatment. We need to improve the diabetes prevention and treatment programs in Indian Country.”
Dorgan has introduced legislation to reauthorize
the Special Diabetes Program, a program that provides research funding for type 1 diabetes, and prevention and education programs for Indian tribes.
Funding for this program has led to clinical advancements in delaying the full onset of diabetes and
reducing the risk of serious complications to diabetics, such as kidney failure and heart attack. The bill
currently has 60 co-sponsors.

Council of Elders
By Leonard Wells
Council of Elders Chairman
Summer is officially here at last and the wet spring is only a
memory. This years Memorial Day services were well attended in
White Earth and Waubun where I was. The American Legion, VFW
and the Women’s Auxiliaries and the White Earth Honor Guard provided another moving service, Thank You! P.S. - The weather finally cooperated, with no rain or wind.
The tribal elections went off without a hitch. I haven’t heard of
any complaints. Now its time for the candidates to take down their
campaign signs. We don’t want to look like it’s a never ending election time on the Rez.
The White Earth Pow Wow was a little wet June 12 but it got
better the next day. There seemed to me less dancers this year,
weather and the economy was probably the reason. The new pow
wow grounds makes it a lot less muddy on the rainy days.
This year Wisdom Steps celebrated our 10th anniversary at the
Black Bear Casino. The conference drew about 350 elders from
around the state. The first night we had a feast provided by the Fond
du Lac Wisdom Step group. Red Lake walleye was on the menu.
After the feast we held a pow wow with many of the elders wearing
their regalia.
The break out sessions was well attended and very informative.
I want to thank Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor for attending and the
kind words she said about the Wisdom Steps program. It’s nice
when our tribal leaders show an interest in our program
Next year the White Earth Wisdom Steps group is going to go
out and recruit elders 55 years and older to get involved in out preventive health care program. Believe me this program works, early
detection has cured my cancer and kidney function problems. More
on this next month.
May was graduation time for the high schools and tribal collage.
You elders out there, if you have any influence on any of our youth
to get as much education as they can, please do so.
WE ECFE/Head Start program offering summer fun

The White Earth Land Recovery Project celebrated the completion of a 75 kilowatt Lolland wind
turbine on June 11 located on the north side of thier
building in Callaway.
The wind project is the first mid-scale wind project in the region. It will power the former Callaway
Elementary School, and feed power back into the
grid.
“We are proud of our organization’s accomplishment in bringing green power to the town of
Callaway, and look forward to a good working-relationship with Ottertail Power and other utilities,”
said Executive Director Winona LaDuke.”
The wind turbine, which was originally made in
Lolland, Denmark, ran successfully for 20 years in
southern California and was re-engineered by a set of
experts from Servetech in Colorado, as well as
Minn.

Chief Bender’s Burden, an award-winning book by Minnesota author Tom Swift,
is now available in paperback from Bison
Books.
The Chicago Sun-Times called Chief
Bender's Burden: The Silent Struggle of a
Baseball Star a “gem.” The book was featured in the Washington Post and on
Salon.com, and received a rare “starred
review” from Library Journal. The book
won the 2009 Seymour Medal, which honors the best book of baseball history published during the preceding calendar year.
“For a Minnesota baseball fan,” writes Nick
Coleman in the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
“[Chief Bender’s Burden] is must reading.”
The book tells the true story of Charles
Albert Bender, the first Minnesota-born
man inducted into the National Baseball
Hall of Fame and the most accomplished
American Indian baseball player of all time.

game’s first slider, and an unflappable
demeanor, Bender earned a reputation as
baseball’s foremost clutch pitcher while
performing in front of boisterous World
Series crowds. But the book is about more
than baseball, as “Chief” Bender’s storied
career unfolded in the face of immeasurable
prejudice. Chief Bender’s Burden is also a
portrait of greatness of character maintained despite incredible pressure — of how
a celebrated man thrived while carrying an
untold weight on his shoulders.
Don Shelby, speaking on WCCO
Radio, described the book as a work of
“unbelievable storytelling.”
Says the Sun-Times: “A wonderful and
impressively thorough new biography...
Swift’s mission is to reassert Bender as an
important figure in the history of the game,
both as a player and a groundbreaking figure. His book does well in both ways.”
Swift is an award-winning author and
award-winning journalist who lives with his
wife in Northfield, Minn.

Reach for the Sky Program nearly goes to the
edge of outer space with homemade spacecrafts
By Stephan Carlson
University of Minnesota
On June 9, 50 4th-8th grade students from the
summer’s “Reach for the Sky” Science and Math
Academy on the White Earth Indian Reservation
cheered as their home-made spacecrafts went where
few have gone before, without space suits and years
of training.
The students launched science experiments to
the edge of outer space (“near-space” - the upper
reaches of the atmosphere, above 80,000 feet) with
30 or more experiments that they built to test science
theories and to apply hands-on science and math to
their world. The on-board cameras documented the
view from so high in the atmosphere that the sky was
black even in the daytime, and the curve of the Earth
was visible.
The Reach for the Sky program launched the
experimental payloads on two large helium-filled
weather balloons early on June 9, from the town of
Felton, northeast of Moorhead and 30 miles west of
the White Earth Reservation.
The two balloons carried eight student-built
miniature spacecrafts, with about five science sensors (temperature, pressure, relative humidity,
Geiger counter and solar panel’s) plus a camera in
each one, as well as tracking radios.
The students worked in teams on June 7-8 to
build their flying spacecraft laboratories and outfit
them with sensors and cameras. The data they collected was sent down by radio to computers on the
ground, and downloaded once the payloads were
retrieved. The students used the data to present a science fair poster at the end of the summer program’s
feast on June 30. In addition, students and adults
signed a small card that was a stowaway in each
spacecraft for a lifetime memento of the flight.
Working with university students from the
University of Minnesota’s High Altitude Balloon
Team, the White Earth students will be using the data
to address questions that they set out to answer earlier in the week when they built their experiments.
“What does the landscape look like from that
height?” and “Are we really facing global climate
change?” and “How does the sun’s radiation change
as we go up?” and “How does the temperature
change with the changes in atmospheric pressure?”
are just some of the questions students will be trying
to answer with the data.
The balloons have GPS units on them for tracking and were recovered after the flight by the
University’s High Altitude Balloon team, directed by
Professor James Flaten from the Minnesota Space
Grant Consortium.
The National Science Foundation funded Reach
for the Sky project is in its third year of providing
culturally relevant STEM activities for American
Indian students on the White Earth Reservation.
The multidisciplinary team is lead by Drs
Gillian Roehrig and Moore (co-directors of the
STEM Education Center) and Dr. Stephan Carlson
(Extension) and includes faculty and students from
the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of
Education and Human Development, Extension,
College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource
Sciences, and the College of Science and
Engineering as well as the University of Minnesota
Crookston departments of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, Admissions Office, GreenCorps and the
University of Minnesota Extension Regional Office.
Additional funding was provided by a Ramp up
to Readiness grant from the University of Minnesota
to provide career and college information to student
related to STEM careers associated with the STEM
content taught.

“It was a great honor to receive the
Patricia Zakovek Memorial Conservation
Officer of the Year Award at the Native
American Fish and Wildlife Society’s
National Conference,” said Fox. “I would
like to thank all of the White Earth
Conservation Officers for their hard work
and dedication to the preservation of our
natural resources. Without their assistance,
this job wouldn’t be possible.”
Fox also wanted to thank his family.
“They play a big part in my job.
Without their understanding and acceptance
of my career choice, none of this would be
possible.”
Fox also congratulates Warren for
receiving the same award for his hard work,
and also to Roberts for receiving the
Technician of the Year award.
“I would also like to thank White Earth
Natural Resources Director Mike Swan for
nominating the three of us for these prestigious awards,” concluded Fox.

Officers of the Year. Bottom: White Earth Natural Resources Director Mike Swan congratulates Gerald “Jeep” Roberts for winning Technician of the Year.
On a cold and windy summer day, the
community gathered June 2 to break
ground for a new $1.1 million Women’s
Shelter.
“I want to thank the White Earth
Housing Board. This project needed constant persistence and without it we would
have fallen off the radar screen,” said White
Earth Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor. “This
is a good day!”
District II Representative Terry
Tibbetts thanked everyone for their “hard
work and effort to get this Women’s Shelter
up and running. It’s very much needed here
on the reservation. Let’s get the ball rolling
and take off with it.”
Loretta Gjerde, manager of the White
Earth DOVE program, knows all to well
how important this shelter is to women who
need a safety zone.
“I want to thank Housing for writing
the grant to make this possible. We’ve been
working with Housing for a long time and
now we are looking forward to getting this
shelter going.”
The new 9,000 square foot Women’s
Shelter facility will be built south of the
White Earth Health Center and the M&W
store. The facility will include eight living
quarters, communal living room and dining
room areas along with a full kitchen and
seven offices for support and staff.
The shelter was designed by HunterGrobe Architects/Planners and is expected
to be completed in June 2011.

In Memory
In Memory of Paul E. Bellcourt
January 1906 - June 2007
There is a wonderful legacy of which I
wish to tell about a wonderful man that lived
so well. His strength lives within us and
grows stronger each day, his honor still
lingers. Though his life has slipped away I
miss the sound of his footsteps and his stern
lectures too! I miss hearing him say, “I have
had more experience than you.” He fought a
good battle then gave up the fight to rest in the
arms of Jesus, what a beautiful sight. In our
heats his memory will always stay, nothing
could ever take his remembrance away.
In Memory of Rochelle Stewart
June 15, 1979 - July 6, 2001
Give you this one thought to keep. I’m
with you still. I’m a thousand winds that
blow. I’m the diamonds sparkle, on snow.
I’m the sunlight on ripened grain. I’m the
gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the
morning hush. I’m the swift, uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight. I’m the soft stars
that shine at night. Do not think of me as
gone. I’m with you still, in each new dawn.
Love always,
Auntie Nancy Big Bear
In Loving Memory of Scott Adams
Nov. 15, 1980 - July 4, 2009
It’s been a year since you left us, and still
our hearts ache with pain. So sad and sudden,
no time for goodbyes. Look down on us from
your home in Heaven and know our love for
you can never be replaced. Our minds tell us
you are without pain now that you have
walked on. We know you will always be with
us. We miss your presence, your touch. We’ll
always remember the smile on your face when
you walk through the door.

Thank You

At a special meeting of the Red Lake Tribal Council held on
April 27, the Council voted unanimously to declare Ojibwe as the
official language of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
The resolution declared that many (of America’s) Indigenous
languages are in danger (of disappearing) if they are not preserved
or promoted, and that the Tribal Council strongly supports the
preservation of the Ojibwe language for the benefit of future generations.
Red Lake has already begun a multifaceted approach to preserve the language at Red Lake, and has been for years in a variety
of ways. This included sponsoring a two-day language summit held
just about this time two years ago in June 2008. Other efforts
include teachings on line, teaching in the schools and community
education, and are exploring other ways...including language
immersion
Language revitalization is an exciting multidimensional stratagem that is going on throughout Indian Country and in the State of
Minnesota. Members of the Tribal Council say they will support
initiatives to encourage the state of Minnesota to adopt Ojibwe as
an official language of the state. After all the Ojibwe language (and
other Indigenous languages) were spoken in Minnesota hundreds if
not thousands of years before English was spoken here.
It is important to differentiate this type of effort as an official
language from say French as an official language of Canada, or the
controversy of Spanish speakers in the southwest. Ojibwe and
other Indigenous languages are the original languages of the land
and not imported tongues as are French, Spanish, or English.
The Arthur Family would like to thank
the Emanuel Nursing staff in Detroit Lakes
for treating Jing so nice. A big thank you to
Grace for the laughs and jokes. Thanks to
Jing’s friends for helping us though these
tough times. Thanks to Rev. Coke Roberts for
her spiritual guidance, Melvin Goodman for
finishing the ceremony, Shawn Nygaard at
David-Donehower Funeral Home, Mike
Swan for letting us use the old Pine Point
School, and the Ojibwe Singers for their special music at the grave site.
Thank you from the
Alfed L. “Jing” Arthur Family

Obesity
from Page 6
chronic disease, and premature death
Excess weight can exert a profound and immediate effect on physical, mental, emotional, and social
development:
- Compared with normal-weight youths, overweight children and adolescents suffer disproportionately from such chronic conditions as diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, bone/joint problems, and sleep apnea.
- Overweight kids experience intense social
stigmatization.
Particularly among adolescent
Caucasian girls, Hispanic girls, and boys of all races,
childhood overweight is associated with lower selfesteem, a tendency to withdraw from others, increased
loneliness, sadness, and nervousness, and increased
use of alcohol and tobacco.
- Severely overweight children are more than 5
times as likely as their healthy counterparts to have a
lower health-related quality of life, i.e., their ability to
move around, play sports, and perform in school, as
well as their levels of fear and sadness, and the quality of their relationships with peers.
Overweight youths have an estimated 70-80 percent chance of becoming obese adults. People who
suffer the burdens of excess weight during childhood
are at continued and elevated risk for chronic diseases
and premature death during adulthood. Obesity con-
tributes to 4 of the 10 leading causes of death among
U.S. adults: coronary heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer:
Heart disease and stroke account for almost 40
percent of deaths in the U.S., costing the nation an
estimated $351 billion in 2003. Obese adults are at
ever-increasing risk for hypertension, dyslipidemia,
atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, left ventricular
hypertrophy, stroke, and kidney failure.
- Cancer is the second leading cause of death in
the United States. Excess weight, poor diet, and
physical inactivity greatly increase the chances of
developing cancers of the breast, colon, prostate,
endometrium (lining of the uterus), cervix, ovary, kidney, gallbladder, and potentially the liver, pancreas,
rectum, and esophagus.
- Diabetes is a major cause of kidney failure, limb
amputation, and acquired blindness. Although Type 2
diabetes is considered an adult disease, doctors have
seen a sharp rise in the occurrence of Type 2 in childhood, concurrent with the childhood obesity epidemic. One in every three children born in 2000 will
develop Type 2 diabetes if current trends continue.
- Obesity is also a significant risk factor for the
following diseases: asthma, kidney failure, gallbladder disease, urinary incontinence, and osteoarthritis.
What the Figures Mean
BMI percentiles show how kids' measurements
compare with others the same gender and age. For
example, if a child has a BMI in the 60th percentile, 60
percent of the kids of the same gender and age who
were measured had a lower BMI.
BMI is not perfect. For example, it's very common for kids to gain weight quickly — and see the
BMI go up — during puberty. Your doctor can help
you figure out whether this weight gain is a normal
part of development or whether it's something to be
concerned about.
Kids can also have a high BMI if they have a large
frame or a lot of muscle, not excess fat. And a kid with
a small frame may have a normal BMI but too much
body fat.
Although BMI is not a direct or perfect measure
of body fat, kids at or above the 95th percentile are
considered obese, a term doctors use to indicate excess
body fat, which increases the risk of weight-related
health problems. Kids who measure at the 85th to 94th
percentiles are considered overweight, because of
excess body fat or high lean body mass. A child whose
BMI is between the 5th percentile to 85th percentile is
in the healthy weight range. A child with a BMI below
the 5th percentile is considered underweight.
Also, it’s important to look at the BMI numbers as
a trend instead of focusing on individual numbers. Any
one measurement, taken out of context, can give you
the wrong impression of your child's growth. The real
value of BMI measurements lies in viewing them as a
pattern over time. That allows both doctor and parents
to watch a child's growth and determine whether it's
normal compared with that of other kids the same age.
While BMI is an important indicator of healthy
growth and development, if you think your child may
be gaining/losing weight too fast, talk to your doctor.

I would never, ever thought you would leave us so soon,
I look for you every night when I look into the moon,
Knowing where you are at all times, not lost and never far,
At night I know you are the brightest, most prettiest star,
When you left it felt like I was ready to fall apart,
Remembering the love and fun times,
I know you will always be in my heart,
Deep down inside I feel broke, hurt, empty and very dry,
I think of you everyday, sitting here writing this I’m starting to cry,
Old songs, certain places and things I do, reminds me of you,
This is hard, very hard, sitting here thinking, missing you,
We studied, cried, laughed, danced, worked and graduated as friends,
My love and feelings I have for you will never end,
All things we have done are special, because we did them together,
Your heart, your smile, your laugh will stay in my memory forever,
You will never be forgotten but always missed and never far apart,
You are remembered and always be my high school sweetheart,
I remember you Hoop Dancing to an Honor Song sang by me,
You will be deeply missed, although we can’t hear, touch or see,
And although we can’t see your beautiful face,
We know you are in a safe, painless, pretty place,
Forever remembered and never forgotten, missed by everyone and me,
You are forever missed and cherished as our best friend “Kayla Marie.”
Remembered forever “Kayla Marie,”
John C. Goodman III
In Memory of Charlene Roberta Norcross
Oct. 31, 1987 - July 4, 2009
I ask myself everyday, why so early the Creator took you home,
So young, precious and not even fully grown,
So suddenly, unexpectedly and without notice,
But you now live in life’s forever breathtaking promise,
With grandma and grandpa wanting you back home to their own town,
Waiting for you with a new jingle dress and another princess crown,
My question was answered through a very unforgettable dream,
I seen you standing in front of the most beautiful stream,
There was no sorrow, no fear, no trouble, no death, no pain,
I remember seeing you dancing so happy carrying feathers in the rain,
And then I woke up crying, and started to wipe my tears,
Knowing that you were like my little sister through the years,
Even though you still had people to meet and things to do,
I’m letting you know that nobody will ever replace you,
I will never forget all the fun times, laughing and all those smiles,
Your caring love touched everybody and goes for thousands of miles,
I’m sorry for not getting a chance to say goodbye,
I never will say that because I will see you again when I touch the sky,
I promised that you will never leave our thoughts, minds or hearts,
Our love we have for you is special and we will never be apart,
We miss you dearly and we remember you with our love,
Remembering you forever and we will be together again up above...
Missing you “Charlene Roberta”

10 years in order to have this day.”
District III Representative Gus Bevins recalled his
early childhood attending the former Mission School.
“I went to the school here many years ago. I graduated from the 8th grade and then went to Waubun. This is
going to be a beautiful building for the kids. But most of
all I think our teaching staff is one of the best and I’d put
them up against any school in the state.”
Overlooking Mission Lake, the new 60,000 squarefoot Circle of Life School will accommodate about 350 students and will feature state of-the-art classrooms.
The school is designed by Hunter-Grobe
Architects/Planners and overseeing the construction is Roy
LaVoy of White Earth Builders. The school is slated to be
completed for the 2011-2012 school year.

three times in a shootout, including the decisive goal
in the seventh round, to lift the U.S. Men's National
Team to a 3-2 victory over Italy in the final game for
both teams at the 2010 International Ice Hockey
Federation World Men’s Championship.
“I'm proud of our players,” said U.S. Head
Coach Scott Gordon. “After the tough start we had,
Love,
we did a nice job coming back and winning our final
three games.”
Team USA won the relegation pool to finish
13th in the 16-team tournament.
The U.S. Men's National Team concluded play
in the 2010 IIHF World Men's Championship with a
record of 2-1-2-1 (W-OTW-OTL-L). Team USA will
not know what group it will play in during next year's
World Championship until this tournament is concluded and the world rankings are updated.
