The former site was not able to offer all the needs under one roof. Some departments, like opti- cal, were forced to have an external offices away from the main site. The new site also has the capability to expand if needed. The medical clinic in the east wing can be doubled if needed. The dental and optical north wing can also be expanded by building a clinic “campus”. There is space allocated for two or more medical buildings to be built north of the patient parking lot. Deanna Bauman, Area Manager over the health care area for Oneida said, We are extremely pleased and very fortunate to have accom- plished this goal. It’s a beauti- ful facility and another mile- stone set for the Oneida Nation.”

Oneida Appeals It is an honor and privilege to serve in a position so important to self-government. Once again, I am asking for your support in July, to continue serving on the Oneida Judicial Branch of Commissioner Government. Experience… • Served on the Appeals Commission since it’s 12 Years Judicial Experience inception in 1991. During my tenure, I’ve learned various dispute resolution mechanisms such as…Peacemaking, Mediation, Settlement and Arbitration, which allow the participants to agree on the final outcome. This is quite different from the adversarial method where parties argue their case in trial court and a Judge, Master, Magistrate, Judicial Officer or Commissioner, decides the final outcome. Parties can appeal a trial court decision to a higher court, such as a Court of Appeals or a Supreme Court. • Serve as Peacemaker and as a hearing officer on the Trial Court as well as the following: • Oneida Appellate Court • Justice pro tem for the Menominee Nation Supreme Court • Court of Appeals Judge for Lac Du Flambeau Court of Appeals • Stockbridge-Munsee Court of Appeals • Faculty member at the National Judicial College, teaching Essential Skills for Tribal Appellate Court Judges This is a voluntary responsibility which I was proud to accept. Training… • All Commissioners must have a certain amount of judicial training before hearing a case. • Peacemaking The highlight of my training took place in 2001, when U.S. Supreme Court Justices Breyer • Earned two (2) Judicial Training Degree/Certificates and Sandra Day O’Connor (above, second and third from left respectively) attended Tribal from the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada Court Judges training. A colleague, Joseph Martin, Chief Justice of the Menominee In conclusion, I work diligently towards Supreme Court (far left) and I escorted the Justices during Grand Entry to a banquet hon- improving our Judicial System; and with your oring this historic occasion. This is the first time, ever, U.S. Supreme Court Justices visit- ed Tribal Courts and met with Tribal Court Judges. Mitch Wright, Program Attorney for the support, will continue to do so, on behalf of the National Judicial College (second from right) was also available for the historic moment.

American Indian FamilyFamily CarnivalCarnival FunFun Veterans to Photos by Yvonne Kaquatosh To say the 11th Annual Family Carnival was a success would be an understatement. Karaoke, an all-time march in favorite was held for the young and old alike on Friday evening at the Fox 11 Family stage, while the Blue Cats, Shy Guys and Rhythm Method performed throughout the evening - despite the rain - at the Oneida largest Flag Bingo & Casino main stage. First place honors in the adult karaoke competition went to Christine Carus (at left) of Appleton with her rendition of, ‘Just to hear you say that you love me’, by Faith Hill. Carus placed Day Parade third in last year’s competition. Felicia Davis of Green Bay, took second, Lee Thomas, third, Rose Niellson, fourth and rounding out the top five was Theresa Denny. There were fourteen (14) brave chil- in country dren who took center stage in the children’s competition. Professional hosts for Karaoke were Rob & Appleton, Wis. - The Bonnie.

All vet- erans along with their color guard are invited. In conjunction with the parade the Intertribal Community Center will be hosting a powwow at Erb Park in Appleton from 4 to 10 p.m. Grand Entry is sched- uled for 7 p.m. The powwow is expected to draw nearly 400 veterans and families. Oneida’s own Dan King will be master of ceremonies, with host drum Wind Eagle and co-host drum Five Clan. Intertribal program coordi- nator Becky Edler said the goal of the event was to not only honor the American Indian veterans , but to also raise awareness of their cul- ture for people living in the Fox Valley. The powwow has free admission and the public is welcome to come out and experience American Indian culture. For more information call 920-731-6602 ext. 212 or 316. Artists balance culture and career Oneida, Wis. - Sadie Buck, of the Six Nations Women Singers, will host a round table discussion for Native artists. The topic, "How to Deal with Contemporary issues and tra- ditional values," helps artists find a balance between their culture and their careers. Discussions include: how to share you culture without exploiting it; how to draw the line between traditions and careers; how to follow tradi- tional ways in a contemporary society. The Six Nations Women Singers are from the Seneca, Onondaga and Cayuga Nations. They are of a larger organization called the Six Nations Women's Singing Society. As a singing society they participate with other groups in community "sings" that are common among the Six Nations people. The round table discussion will be on Tuesday, July 1, 2003 at 6:30pm in the Oneida Nation Arts Program office. This event is free, but seating is limited.
