Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska P.L. 102-477 Annual Report FY 2015 The Winnebago Tribe ofNebraska is located in the northeastern corner ofNebraska, 26 miles southeast of Sioux City, Iowa, and 70 miles north ofOmaha, Nebraska on state highways 75 and 77. The reservation consists ofover 40,000 acres and is located in both Nebraska and Iowa. The Winnebago Tribe ofNebraska is a federally recognized Indian Tribe with an enro llment of 5,530 members, 1,704 members reside on the Winnebago reservation. The Winnebago P.L. I 02-477 program has a service area which includes Thurston and Dakota Counties in Nebraska and Woodbury County in Iowa. The Winnebago P.L. I 02-477 program consists of the following: • Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) • General Assistance (GA) • Summer Youth Employment Program (WlA Youth) & Workforce In vestment Act (WIA Adult) • Native Employment Works (NEW) and Jobs, Placement & Training (JPT) • Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) The Service Area currently identified fo r General Assistance, WIA Youth, WIA Adult, Native Employment Works and Jobs Employment & Training is the Winnebago Indian Reservation, located in Thurston County, Nebraska, all partic ipants must meet eligibility guidelines. Services are available for enrolled members ofall Federally Recognized tribes residing on the Winnebago Reservation in Thurston County, Nebraska. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) is available to enroll ed members ofany federally recognized tribe residing within the boundaries of the Winnebago Reservation and to households where the head of household and one or more children are enrolled members ofthe Winnebago Tribe and that reside in Thurston County in the State ofNebraska outside of the Omaha and Winnebago reservation boundaries. TANF is a lso provided to enrolled members ofany Federally Recognized tribe residing in Dakota County in the State of Nebraska and Woodbury County in the State of Iowa with the exception ofenrolled members of the Ponca Tribe ofNebraska. Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) services are available for enroll ed members ofall Federally Recognized tribes residing within the boundaries ofthe Winnebago Reservation in Thurston County, Nebraska, Dakota County, Nebraska, and Woodbury County, Iowa. Each ofthese programs is a vital part of the community and ultimately assists families in becoming self­ sufficient. There are times when fami lies fa ll upon hard ships in the ir li ves, and these programs are here to assist families in overcoming these hardships. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) The TANF program has two case manager positions, as we combined Woodbury and Dakota Counties in January 2015, utiliz ing the employment and training coordinator to assist with services provided. The second case manager serves Thurston County. The maximum amount of cases assigned to each case manager is 50 cases. Each case manager is responsible fo r developing an employability development plan (EDP) with their c li ents. Most clients have goals of obtaining their high school diploma/GED, achieving higher education and job search. The TANF case managers work with the foll owing educationa l partners: Little Priest Tribal College in Winnebago, NE, and Sioux City, IA; Step-Up, which is a triba l partner program providing services in Winnebago, NE, and Sioux City, IA; Western Iowa Tech in Sioux City, IA; and Northeast Community College in South Sioux City, NE. Each of these providers offers low cost tuition, which makes it more affordable for c lients to attend. The Step-Up program offers paid training in the healthcare field, including: Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Dental Assistant, etc. They also offer paid training in Early Childhood Education and Industrial Mechanics. ll P age Although each TANF client can access these educational services, transportation continues to be a major barrier for clients. Without reliable and affordable transportation, the clients often are deterred from attending GED and college classes. Unless clie nts obtain private transportation or have access to public transportation, this wi ll continue to be a barrier to their self-sufficiency goals. One of the large t employers for the Winnebago community is the tribally owned casino, Winna Vegas. The tribe provides an employee transit system which allows employees to catch rides to and from work for a small fee; however, the transit system is not available during all shifts and child care becomes a barrier for swing and overnight shifts. General Assistance (GA) The General Assistance Program provides financial assistance to individuals who meet the program guidelines. The GA monthly caseload averages 40-45 clients. C li ents can receive an amount up to $222.00 per month and are required to complete 20 hours each week participating in the fo llowing activities: searching for employment, attending workshops, attending college/GED classes or providing a community service. C lients must adhere to the ir case plans to remain eli gible. Thi s program is necessary to assist individuals that are out of the workforce due to layoff, pending disability, or have been unsuccessful in obtaining employment. The ultimate goal for GA clients is self-sufficiency, including: clients seeking and maintaining employment and/or obtaining a hi gher education. Some of our GA clients have had pending di sability cases with the Social Security Administration for up to two years depending on their medical situation. There are several barriers that GA clients face in becoming self-sufficient. Although the tribe does have tribal transportati on, it ma inly serves Winna Vegas Casino employees. Therefore, transpo1tation is a major barrier for GA c lients seeking self-sufficiency. Another barrier i that most job opportunities within the Winnebago reservation require a GED/High School diploma at minimum, and several clients lack this. Those that do not have a GED must attend GED classes until they complete. If the client feels they possess a learning disabi lity, we refer them to Vocational Rehabilitation in South Sioux City, NE. Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) - WIA Youth & TANF The Summer Youth Employment Program is offered to youth ages 14 to 18 years of age residing on the Winnebago reservation who meet the income and GPA requirements. This program provides youth with training and job skills that will help them when they are ready to enter the work fo rce. There is an adequate number o f tribal programs that are willing to supervise youth participating in the SYEP. The Youth WIA funds we receive are minimal, and assisted 1 youth throughout the 2015 summer. T ANF funds al lowed services to be provided for 20 youth. Youth are the future of the Winnebago Tribe, and the SYEP assists students in the service area with gaining job skills that can be used later in the Tribe's workforce. All participants must meet GPA and attendance requi rement to be eli gible, which further encourages their success in school. Workforce Investment Act (WIA Adult) & On the Job Training (OJTI Workforce Investment Act assists unemployed and underemployed clients with e mployment and training services. Case management is coordinated fo r clients to access educati on, training, and job success preparation. Workshops and trainings are offered monthly with topics such as housing, basic budgeting, employment success skills, G ED, and parenting. On the Job Training is another vital program fo r the Winnebago community. This program allows employable adults to receive job tra ining while working and earning income. Before placement can occur, OJT pa1ticipants must be considered j ob ready, successfully pass a UA and may be required to pass a federal background check. After placement, OJT pa11icipants are paid the federal minimum wage of$8.25/hour for up to 40 hours each week for a maximum of3 months or until full -time employment is gained. The Social Services Program had 0 active OJT placements fo r FY 201 5, but the program continue to have 21 P age clients fill out applications for OJT placement. Funds previously used for OJT placements are used fo r an Employment & Training worker to assist c lients with employment and training needs. A database of OJT applicants is in development so we can better assist employers in the community in find ing the right match w ith our clients/potential employees. Native Employment Works (NEW) Native Employment Works assists unemployed and underemployed clients with employment and tra ining services. Case management is coordinated for clients to access educati on, training, and job success preparation. Jobs, Employment & Training (JPD Jobs, Employment & Training assists unemployed and underemployed cli ents with employment and training services. The major focus has been on overcoming barriers to employment which are identified through the employability development plan. These are short term services that genera lly last three to six months. C lients can also receive coordinated case management to access education, training, a nd j ob s uccess preparation. Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska recognizes that high quali ty early childhood programs a re vital in the first fi ve years of a child' s li fe to establi sh a fo undation fo r success and lifelong learning. Educare Winnebago is based on the best early educati on practices that will ensure school readiness. Educare Winnebago partners with the Winnebago C hild Care Develo pment Fund program, Winnebago Head Start, Buffet Early Childhood Fund and Winnebago Tribe.

The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

    The Southern Algonquians and Their Neighbours DAVID H. PENTLAND University of Manitoba INTRODUCTION At least fifty named Indian groups are known to have lived in the area south of the Mason-Dixon line and north of the Creek and the other Muskogean tribes. The exact number and the specific names vary from one source to another, but all agree that there were many different tribes in Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas during the colonial period. Most also agree that these fifty or more tribes all spoke languages that can be assigned to just three language families: Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan. In the case of a few favoured groups there is little room for debate. It is certain that the Powhatan spoke an Algonquian language, that the Tuscarora and Cherokee are Iroquoians, and that the Catawba speak a Siouan language. In other cases the linguistic material cannot be positively linked to one particular political group. There are several vocabularies of an Algonquian language that are labelled Nanticoke, but Ives Goddard (1978:73) has pointed out that Murray collected his "Nanticoke" vocabulary at the Choptank village on the Eastern Shore, and Heckeweld- er's vocabularies were collected from refugees living in Ontario. Should the language be called Nanticoke, Choptank, or something else? And if it is Nanticoke, did the Choptank speak the same language, a different dialect, a different Algonquian language, or some completely unrelated language? The basic problem, of course, is the lack of reliable linguistic data from most of this region. But there are additional complications. It is known that some Indians were bilingual or multilingual (cf.
