Groundwork is underway at the second housing project at Barker Hill, along BIA 700 just north of Agency Village. The Lake Traverse Utilities Commission (LTUC) is installing water and sewer lines, Tribal Roads crews are grading, and surveyors are staking out plots for new houses. Barker Hill #2 is the next in a series of projects designed to help meet the growing need for housing on the Lake Traverse Reservation. Watch as work continues and more information becomes available about the number of homes, their status (rental, home ownership, etc.) and projected timeline for completion.

Bert Hirsch is a lawyer who has practiced federal Indian law for more than 40 years and played an important role in drafting and securing enactment of the Indian Child Welfare Act or ICWA in 1978 while working as staff counsel and later as outside counsel for the Association on American Indian Affairs (“AAIA”). During his years with AAIA and in subsequent years, Attorney Hirsch has represented over 200 tribes, tribal organizations, and regional Indian organizations on issues of tribal government operations, gaming, hunting and fishing rights, environmental issues, and litigation on these matters and more.

Bert Hirsch came to represent the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe during a period of great change in Indian Country nationally and locally, and in his work to protect sovereignty and preserve culture he worked with our Tribal efforts in the Native American Graves and Protection Act as well as The Medicine Wheel Coalition for the Protection of Sacred Sites.

It is our honor to host Attorney Bertram E. Hirsch and acknowledge his lifetime of work and dedication to Native nations and the generations to come.

This is the first Father’s Day without my dad, Grandpa Don, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 90. Grandpa Don was a shining example of what it meant to be a dad. He always put God and his family first and dedicated his life to serving others.

While we recognize their “cool” to be “square.” According accomplishments, we are also to the cool kids back then, being a “square” meant being conventional, boring, inhibited and nerdy – definitely not part of the cool crowd. So, my dad would tell the graduates about the real meaning of “square. ” To him and his generation, being “square” was a good thing. You were honest so you could look people “square” in the eye. When you worked your way out of debt, you became “square” with the world. If someone was hungry, you gave him a “square” meal. You stood “foursquare” for what you believed in. He told graduates that they should be “square” because “square” really meant being honest, fair, genuine, upright, straightforward and ethical, as in always giving other people a “square deal.” The phrase “square deal” was coined by President Teddy Roosevelt. It was his philosophy that we should not grant special favors to any group of Americans, but to be fair to all. At the end of his commencement speeches, dad would invite the graduates to be “squares” for the rest of their lives. In today’s society, dad’s graduation message resonates stronger than ever.
