Here are some high- lights of our work in the areas of Research, Education, and Service, along with some information about where we are going in the next year: RESEARCH This year marked the end of our 5-year grant to bring the All Nations Breath of Life quit smok- ing program to urban American Indian communities. Our early results look very promising, with quit rates over 30% after 6 months. In the scientific literature, quit rates for American Indians at 6 months range from 8-10%. We are very excited to have such a successful program and credit its success to our fantastic group facilitators and the huge amount of input from previous participants that made the program better. We are still run- ning the program in collaboration with several tribes on reservations in multiple states.

TCTABS also examines things that are related to smoking, such as social support, diet and exercise, drinking, etc. The information gathered from TCTABS will be used to create future programs to help tribal college students quit smoking. We are currently working with two tribal colleges and are hop- ing to add another college in 2013. We completed our second year of TCTABS in October 2012 and present some of our initial findings here. A total of 607 students have participated in TCTABS so far. The majority of TCTABS participants were female (64.7%) and most of our participants are in a 4-year bachelor degree program (70.8%).

The property at issue consists of three tracts of land, consisting of 74.81 acres, more or less, located in Brown County, Kansas.

    To: Chairman Lance Kinzer And Members of the House Judiciary Committee From: Steve Cadue Tribal Chairman Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas 1107 Goldfinch Road Horton, Kansas 66439 Re: HB 2553 – Nemaha-Brown Watershed Funding Bill Date: February 29, 2012 Good afternoon Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee. I am Steve Cadue, Tribal Chairman of the sovereign Kickapoo Nation and I appear before you today to oppose HB 2553. I am opposed to the continuing damaging effort of the Nemaha Brown Watershed District to prevent the Kickapoo Tribe of securing a safe and dependable water supply. Water is life and yes, for the Kickapoo people it is a matter of Life or Perish. We depend on water for a total life-sustaining need including drinking water, health conditions and spiritual blessings. Our Kickapoo people utilized and are dependent on water before the coming of the white man. The United States Supreme Court, Winters v. United States (1908) cited Indian tribal rights original use of water and declared Indian tribe’s use of water before the coming of the white man. Our Kickapoo treaty is the Supreme Law of the Land and is under the protection of the federal trust responsibility of the United States to Indian tribes. Water is a sacred element in our Kickapoo traditions. Water is life. Our Kickapoo tribal reservation homeland is a federally recognized reservation and exists due to treaty agreements with the United States of America. We settled in the land that was called the Kansas territory in the treaty of l832 on the western banks of the Missouri river at Leavenworth.

INTRODUCTION Federal Indian Law is frequently described as a jurisdictional quagmire.1 Depending on the unique history of a given tribe, the extent to which the tribe has retained a territorial boundary or contiguous land- base, and depending on a tribe’s geographic location, a different mix of 2 exclusive or concurrent tribal, state, federal jurisdiction will result. * John J. Francis, Professor of Law, Washburn University School of Law; Director, Washburn Law Clinic. Professor Francis began his career with the New York City Legal Aid Society, Criminal Defense Division, as a trial attorney. He has been a clinical legal educator for seventeen years. As a professor in Washburn’s Law Clinic, among other things, Professor Francis supervises law students handling criminal defense matters in the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation District Court. I thank my co-authors for their tremendous insight and hard work on this project. I commend Michael Duma, who located a treasure trove of historical documents, shedding new light on the history behind the Kansas Act. I also thank Andrew Evans, Government Documents Librarian at Washburn Law, who unearthed documents in the National Archives from Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation which had been left out of the legislative history of the Kansas Act. Finally, I thank my wife Irene and my sons Punleu and Chuan for their encouragement and inspiration. ** Stacy L. Leeds, Dean and Professor of Law, University of Arkansas.
