The Indians Return to the Hardwood Bago Bits… Published Bi-Weekly for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska • Volume 48, Number 24 Saturday, December 2, 2017 The Indians Return to the Hardwood Bago Bits… Dr. Zhuda Shaheb was recently rec- ognized by the Winnebago Diabetes Program for 30 years of service to the Winnebago People. Past Winnebago Tribal Chairman Louis LaRose was on hand to share stories and present Dr. Shaheb with a Star Quilt. The Winnebago Indians returned to a new hardwood in traditional fashion this week in a Jamboree matchup with Omaha South, a Class A basketball program from Omaha, Nebraska. The Indians and Packers kept things close throughout the entire game with quarter leads be- ing only a point or two. Although a class A school the Packers had few answers to the Rez Ball style of play of the Indians, who at the end of regulation fi nished off the Packers 58-62. The Indians were home to rival Homer Knights on Thursday night and trekked to Walthill on Friday night. The Indians travel to Macy on the 7th to face the Macy Chiefs. GBB!

Statehood 77 THE CANDIDATES Note from the Team There have been remarkable leaps and bounds of young people reclaiming our government. We are voting in higher numbers and regularly taking to the streets to strike and to protest. Yet still far too many of us believe our votes do not matter. And we get it. We know that this belief is not rooted in apathy but rather from a very deep reality that inside city halls, state capitals, and the chambers of Congress, elected officials make decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures without listening to our voices. It is rooted in the reality that on the campaign trail, we are promised change that counts everybody in, but in session, we are dealt legislation that negotiates people out. We can change this. We have to change this. We do that through voting AND through the actions we take every day before, on, and after election day. It is the work we do before election day that ensures campaign promises reflect us and the future we are determined to create. It is the voting we do on election day that ensures we fill the seats of power with partners in progress.

  • SENATOR KARPISEK: Okay, I Think We're Going to Get Started
    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Rough Draft General Affairs Committee and Judiciary Committee September 25, 2009 [LR199] SENATOR KARPISEK: Okay, I think we're going to get started. If everybody can find a seat, figure everything out. Okay. Number one, it says, promptly begin at 1:30. So we haven't done that, but that's all right. I would like to say right away that I hope to be out of here by 5:00. We are not going to use the light system today so everyone has time to say what they want to say. I would ask that you not repeat anymore than you have to. Hearing the same thing over and over gets old for everyone. However, we want to give everyone a chance to voice an opinion, share ideas if they'd like to. So be as brief as you can and I will start off with just some of the housekeeping things. This is an interim study for LR199. And it is a joint hearing between the General Affairs Committee and the Judiciary Committee. My name is Senator Russ Karpisek of Wilber and I am the chair of the General Affairs Committee and I will be chairing today's hearing. General Affairs Committee members who are here today are Senator Coash of Lincoln who is also on the Judiciary Committee; Senator Price of Bellevue who I didn't recognize today because he has hair; (laugh) he was bald all session, seriously; Senator Dierks of Ewing. Judiciary members who are present are chairman Senator Ashford of Omaha; Senator Lathrop of Omaha; Senator McGill of Lincoln; and Senator Lautenbaugh of Omaha.

We come together this week to advance the hallowed charge of NCAI’s founders, who assembled in Denver 75 years ago to create a single, national organization to collectively protect and strengthen tribal sovereignty for the benefit of our future tribal generations. We gather this week to carry on our work of empowering our tribal governments, communities, and citizens, to provide them the ability and tools to create brighter futures of their own design. It takes all of us, working together, to make that happen. It takes all of us, working together, to hold the federal government accountable to its trust and treaty obligations to our tribal nations. This past year has shown us that no matter the challenges we face as Indian Country, as nations within a nation, we are strong, we are resilient. Even in the midst of a government shutdown, tribal nations rallied together to forge historic policy achievements that enhance tribal self-determination and self-governance. We joined forces with our partners and Watch Jefferson Keel’s Together allies to accomplish lasting victories that transcend political parties or this particular As One message Administration and Congress.

We are excited to share this unparalleled opportunity to learn, network, and identify ways we can all make a tangible impact on the lives of others. Our tracks this year focus on three key areas: population health, organizational culture, and finance and operations. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from top-level speakers, gain insight into innovative programs and partnerships, and connect with others whose careers are dedicated to underserved populations just like you. We also hope you leave feeling reenergized and motivated after hearing from our keynote and plenary speakers.

The commission also helps to ensure the sovereignty of both tribal and state governments are recognized and acted upon in a true government-to-government relationship. The commission assists off-reservation Indian communities by assuring the right to equitable opportunities in the areas of housing, employment, education, health care, economic development and human/civil rights within Nebraska.
