I also want to send my prayers to everyone who has family members in the hospital. I want to send special prayers for my uncle, Alfred Junior Morsette. He hasn't been doing very well and it is with a heavy heart I visited him in the hospital. He is one of our last Arikara elders who knows our Arikara songs and stories of the old times. So please say some prayers for him and the family. Today we had another great experience at Standing Rock and the Sacred Stone camp. On September 1st the Tribal Business Council was united and went down to the camp as one. We presented the Standing Rock Tribe and Chairman a $12,000 check for expenses. The White Shield Segment also delivered over $5,000 in supplies for their camp. I personally presented Chairman Dave Archambault a genuine war bonnet to honor his leadership in this battle we are all fighting. Wednesday we served meals to hundreds of people who are supporting the Standing Rock Tribe. We had over 30 community members who volunteered and prepared the food and served. I want to thank every one of them for representing White Shield and uniting the Arikara people. Next week the Arikara tribe will experience another monumental event in our history. We have over 50 Arikara people from the White Shield Segment that will travel down to Pawnee, Oklahoma to meet and have a reunion with our relatives - the Pawnee and Wichita Tribes. It will be a special moment when we reconnect and share stories, songs, language and ceremonies with each other. We want to make this an annual trip and reunion. We encourage everyone to take part. This past month was busy with Council and Committee meetings and back-to-school activities. I will be having an end of the month Segment update and go will over all the on-going projects in White Shield and end of fiscal year budget expenditures. We will be introducing all new committee community board members, school board members and school administration, along with any new staff. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for their support this past 4 years. It's been an honor to represent the Arikara people, White Shield community and all MHA Nation. At times it becomes difficult to represent and to please everyone. The hardest part is saying “No” to people that have exceeded policy grants, loans, and overall assistance. We want to help out every member above and beyond, but because of policies, budget constraints and fairness, it is impossible. Balancing new housing, community infrastructure, new school, community building, employment, and other projects in White Shield and trying to make sure everyone's needs are met is nearly impossible. But I want to let everyone know that we will do the best job possible to cover every request we get. With that I want to again thank you, take care and God bless. 2 North Dakota Native Americans Recognized by State Historical Society The first members of the state's new Native American Hall of Honor were inducted during a ceremony held September 8 at the State Historical Society of North Dakota’s Heritage Center. The program is a partnership of the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission, the State Historical Society of North Dakota, and the State Historical Society Foundation. Native Americans recognized were: Robert Eaglestaff, Marcellus Red Tomahawk and Harriett Skye, of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; Arnold Charging and Nathan Goodiron, of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation; Anthony McDonald, of the Spirit Lake Nation; and Richard Marcellais, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.

His name is “Tsu Daga” (White Shield III). His parents are Evan and Evadne Baker Gillette. In 1952, he attended first grade in Elbowoods, North Dakota, and graduated from Immaculate Conception High School in Stephan, South Dakota in 1964. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1966. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Minot State University in 1972 and a Master’s Degree in counseling and guidance from the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, in 1974. Gillette was the first college graduate to serve on the tribal council and the youngest person elected tribal chairperson, when he was elected in 1978 at the age of 32. He is currently the longest serving member (20 years) of the tribal council. During his tenure as chair and councilman, he was involved in establishing Fort Berthold Community College, and wrote judgment plans for claims against the Federal Government that provided for permanent funding to the tribe. These funds provide an appropriation of Austin and Jill Gillette in Washington D.C. for approximately $800,000 for education, economic Vietnam Honoring and Celebration. development, land purchases and the tribe’s burial fund. (Turosak, Charting a Path, 1981) He was responsible for performing land appraisals on tribal allotted land on the reservation versus non-Indian lands on/off the reservation. These findings were used to substantiate JTAC legislation. He established permanent funding of nurse practitioners for the White Shield and Mandaree districts in 1982. His administration coordinated and secured matching funding for the tribe’s Cattle Re-lending Program, construction funds for Fort Berthold Community College, community buildings in Twin Buttes, Parshall, and the North segment; purchase of the LCM Lumber Company, and matching funds to establish Mandaree Electronics. (A. Gillette, personal communication, August, 1998) Under his leadership, in 1982, he initiated minerals restoration, a loss resulting from the construction of the Garrison Dam. His administration was also responsible for securing management of the tribes’ natural resources. He is active in the Young Hawk Bear American Legion Post 253. He has served as the post’s Commander. He represents the Eastern Segment on the tribal council. 5 Standing Rock Takes a stand against Dakota Access Pipeline Project (photos by Karen Lonefight) Over 200 protesters walk 2 miles to pipeline site to hold Sacred Pipe ceremony on Wednesday. Native American protesters are confronted by a security team with dogs as they protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline near Cannonball, North Dakota, on September 3. Months-long protests against a multi-billion-dollar oil pipeline have boiled over into tense clashes as snarling dogs were used against protesters and the tribe claims burial grounds were bulldozed. The North Dakota protest site at the reservation of the Standing Rock Sioux has grown into “the largest gathering of Native Americans in more than 100 years,” reports the BBC. More than 280 tribes have put down flags and are standing with the Lakota. The protesters, who have gathered together from multiple tribes, and other supporting the cause, say they are taking a stand for future generations against the four-state Dakota Access Pipeline Project. The gathering is “historic,” Judith LeBlanc, director of the New York-based Native Organizers Alliance, told ABC News, adding, “There’s never been a coming together of tribes like this.” On September 9, a federal judge denied the tribes’ legal request to temporarily stop the pipeline, said ABC News. The Los Angeles Times reported that “U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an order in Washington that lifted a temporary halt on a portion of the pipeline that crossed public land.” However, a short time later the U.S. Department of Justice announced it was stepping in, saying “that the Corps of Engineers will at least temporarily halt authorization for construction of the pipeline around Lake Oahe, while it reviews its previous decisions regarding this large reservoir,” according to ABC.

V FOREWORD Less than 150 years ago that part of Southwestern North Dakota with which this book largely deals was described and illustrated by most mapmakers as "The Great American Desert". From that point in time to the first of the present century this area was inhabitated for the most part by nomadic Indians and white trappers, ranchers, and a very few homesteaders, or "squatters". Shortly after the turn of the century an increasing number of people came to this area to pick choice sites of free land for homesteading. After the completion of the railroads into the area, the influx of the people became so great that in a few years homesteaders oc­ cupied homestead lumber shacks or sod houses on almost all quarter sections of land suitable for farming or grazing in the area.

Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20314 TO OUR READERS: During June, 1975, both the United States Army and the Army Corps of Engineers commemorate their two hundredth anniversaries. And for the past century and a half, the Corps, at the direction of Congress, has planned for the wise use and proper development of America's water resources. The Corps was born in a moment of stress and at a time of great need. The hastily formed continentals desperately needed defensive ramparts for the Battle of Bunker Hill. Our first engineers met the challenge and, since that strife-ridden genesis, the Corps has picked up the gauntlet many times and served well in each national crisis. Corps representatives, civilian and mili­ tary, dedicate themselves to preserving the Nation and enhancing both our way of life and the environment which supports it. The Army Engineers have played a vital role throughout our history — whether at peace or war. In the early decades of our Nation's development, we handled construction of the country's first interstate roads and canals, the first bridges and railroads.
