April 9, 2019 Opening Remarks, Tribal Caucus Update, and Discussion with Assistant Secretary Sweeney Tara Sweeney, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs: Thank you. So, good afternoon and I thank all of you for coming to this session. I also want to recognize the hard work put into bringing TIBC together by 3 of 178 the Budget Office and just the countless hours and the back and forth that George Bearpaw, Jason Freihage, Jeannine Brooks and many others have put into making sure that your voices are heard inside of Interior and within the Indian Affairs hallway. So thank you to the budget team at [the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary – Management (DAS-M)]. The deliberative process that we’re carrying out over the next couple of days is a new approach developed in response to input from this group and I believe that it will be successful in outlining major priorities within Indian Country and how best to address the success. We have a limited number of resources and a huge amount of responsibilities. The input that you provide at these sessions helps us to prioritize how best to meet those responsibilities. We appreciate your ideas and feedback on how we can expand our resources which is not always asking about money. We need to look at how we handle our responsibilities and determine if there’s a better way we can do things more efficiently. Can we deliver services in a manner that allows us to get more out of the pot of funding that we have and currently practice? Administrative adjustments within and developing stronger partnerships with other agencies are areas that will allow us to be more responsive to the people that we serve. As part of Interior’s ongoing work to leverage the use of taxpayer dollars as well as in consideration of feedback received through consultations with tribal governments, the Department will realign two offices. OST within ASIA and the Land Buyback Program within OST. Congress has had no objections to the OST related organizational changes in the 2019 budget. The move of OST will improve communication and coordination between BIA and OST for more effective delivery of services to Indian Country. The reforms that have been realized through OST must be institutionalized and that means a higher standard of care and best practices necessary for fulfilling the Secretary’s trust responsibility. This transition facilitates that important goal. This move maintains all OST functions in the Office of the Assistant Secretary. OST currently provides significant support to the Land Buyback Program. Thus the realignment of the Land Buyback Program will enhance the coordination of support activities and technical assistance provided by OST and present opportunities to streamline processes. As an example of our efforts to look for better ways to implement our programs and have an incredibly positive impact for our native youth, 2020 will be the first year that we have separate budget requests for both BIA and BIE. And I come from a family8 of educators and the education service we provide to our youth is second to none on my priority list as your Assistant Secretary. We’ve worked very hard on this in conjunction with the Appropriations Committee and OMB on this effort because our students deserve the best that we can give them. In addition to our recognition of the need to stand up BIA capabilities independently, both Appropriations Committee report language and other congressional direction has also compelled Indian Affairs to make this great improvement. Tony Dearman is here, as you all know, and he can address the details of the proposal later this afternoon. 4 of 178 I know you will be outlining your tribal priorities this week and formulating a tribal budget proposal. As you consider your priorities, the pillars supporting the administrative and policy functions of Indian Affairs include economic development, looking at ways to reduce the regulatory burden on our tribal lands and leading with Indian Country on categorical exclusions, administrative streamlining, standardizing our processes. And I’ve been to [Reservation Economic Summit 2019 (RES)], I’ve spoken about this at NCAI, I will be speaking about this at NAFOA but looking at how we

It caught a lot of people's ears just now when Obama said, "We are not a deadbeat nation. When marriages fail, the deadbeat dad is the norm in American society, not the exception. In a bizarre twist, the U. S Government has apparently adopted a tactic normally reserved for deadbeat dads on Superbowl Sunday. The sparrow was deadbeat , and was travelling slowly to the north and west on a zigzag course, about two hundred feet high. I knew you looked a deadbeat , but Id no idea I was quite so bad, he said. The bartender, accepting the situation as generally inclusive, put his hands up along with his deadbeat patrons. Defeated; also exhausted. I am quite knocked up. User Ratings. External Reviews.

Trump President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump, The Navajo Nation looks forward to reopening the Navajo Government in the coming weeks and rebuilding the local economy that has been devastated by the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). As of June 10, 2020, the Navajo Nation has 6,275 confirmed cases and 292 deaths.4 The Navajo Nation has an overwhelming majority of positive cases.5 In fact, the top five infection rates nationwide are Tribal Nations including the Navajo Nation. However, this is due to the aggressive testing we are conducting in our communities. We have tested almost 42,000 Navajo citizens, approximately 20-percent of the population that resides on the Navajo Nation, with 32,899 negative results. Nearly 3,000 individuals have recovered from the virus as well, with reports still pending. To ensure the completion of numerous life-saving infrastructure projects within the statutory expenditure deadline of December 30, 2020 for the tribal set-aside of the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) in Title V of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, (CARES Act), the Navajo Nation, as a sovereign nation must be allowed to exercise self-determination by determining the appropriate level of environmental impact review for projects across the Navajo Nation. The process by which projects are reviewed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process must be streamlined to cut out unnecessary procedures across multiple federal agencies for the immediate construction of critical projects.

  • Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: the Deadhead Professional By
    Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: The Deadhead Professional By: Rebecca G. Adams Adams, R. G. 2003. Stigma and the Inappropriately Stereotyped: The Deadhead Professional. Sociation Today. v.1, no.1. Made available courtesy of NC Sociological Association: http://www.ncsociology.org/sociationtoday/deadhead.htm ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document The Grateful Dead, a North American rock band that stopped performing in 1995 after thirty years together, was as well known for its fans as it was for its music. Deadheads, as these fans are called, traveled from venue to venue to hear the band play, sometimes staying "on tour" with them for extended periods of time. Although there is still a large concentration of Deadheads in the San Francisco Bay area where the band originally performed, there are now Deadheads everywhere in the United States and in many foreign countries as well. The community claims at least a half million members (Adams & Rosen-Grandon, 2002). It is not only remarkable among music communities because of the length of time it has survived, how geographically dispersed it is, and how large it is, it is also noteworthy because of the length and intensity of involvement of individual fans. When the band stopped playing together as the Grateful Dead, the average Deadhead had been attending their concerts for 10 or 11 years, and more than half of them had traveled at least 800 miles to attend a show (Adams, 1998b). In 2003, almost eight years after the death of Jerry Garcia, the band's lead guitarist, Deadheads remain loyal to the community and continue to attend concerts given by surviving members.

  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.
