by Val Niehaus Swearing in for Forest County Potawatomi (FCP) Chairman and two Council Members took place in the FCP Tribal Court room on Nov. 4, 2019. Tribal members, tribal employees and community employees came to witness the swearing in of the three incumbents who were re-elected to their Execu- tive Council positions: Chairman Ned Daniels Jr., Council Member Brooks Boyd and Council Member Nickolas G. Shepard Sr. Swearing in each member individually were Chief Judge Eugene White-Fish and Associate Judges Chris Daniels and Angela Moe. With their right hand raised with honor and dignity, each repeated the oath of office. Following the official act of reciting the oath, each member offered a few words in gratitude at having been elected for another term. Chairman Daniels said, “First thing is, your Honors (all three), thank you for swearing us in today. I’m happy to hear that we are keeping you busy with all the new laws coming in place, and we hope to keep that up and have our tribe move forward with the courts and the law as well. “Thanks to all the tribal members, family, friends, relatives who came. I have to say something. All too often we go into elections as we look at them “as” elections, and this time when I went into the election…it wasn’t an election. It was something else. For me, I am passing this on to my two council members…I did not see an election happen. I seen the people come in and grade you. For me, it was more like a scorecard/review of your work for the last few years…what you did, do they support that or not? So, I looked at it like a report card, and I was really happy when I got that report. I think the election says to us that we are on the right track to continue what we are doing. The departments such as Elderly, AODA, the police - all of them are gonna say keep doing what you are doing, and that’s what they are saying by electing us again. Thank you for the good report card and I was very humbled. Thank you very much!” Council Member Boyd was next to give his remarks saying, “Aho. I just want to take this time to say Migwetth for all the support. To me, it’s an honor to be here and to represent you, and I will always put my best foot forward. It’s an honor to be here in front of you, repre- senting you, and I will always do that in a good way. Again, Migwetth!” Council Member Shepard said, “I don’t have too much to say other than… head down and keep working for my people. I’m glad that the group that we have around us stayed the same. I’ve learned a lot over the past two years from the current Council…membership… elders and our employees. I stand in front of you humbly and proud as your Council Member for the Forest County Potawatomi tribe. I will do my best to work for you and will put the tribe ahead of everything…except my family and wife. Thank you for your support and I look forward to the future. Migwetth!” Congratulations to all three who were voted back in for another term. The tribal community made its voices heard, and good luck in future endeavors!

Potawatomi (FCP) Chairman and two Council Members took place in the FCP Tribal Court room on Nov. 4, 2019.

Tribal members, tribal employees and community employees came to witness the swearing in of the three incumbents who were re-elected to their Execu-tive Council positions: Chairman Ned Daniels Jr., Council Member Brooks Boyd and Council Member Nickolas G. Shepard Sr.

Swearing in each member individually were Chief Judge Eugene White-Fish and Associate Judges Chris Daniels and Angela Moe. With their right hand raised with honor and dignity, each repeated the oath of office. Following the official act of reciting the oath, each member offered a few words in gratitude at having been elected for another term.

Chairman Daniels said, “First thing is, your Honors (all three), thank you for swearing us in today. I’m happy to hear

that we are keeping you busy with all the new laws coming in place, and we hope to keep that up and have our tribe move forward with the courts and the law as well.

“Thanks to all the tribal members, family, friends, relatives who came. I have to say something. All too often we go into elections as we look at them “as” elections, and this time when I went into the election…it wasn’t an election. It was something else.

Council Member Shepard said, “I don’t have too much to say other than…

Forest County Potawatomi Leaders IIby Val Niehaus

In continuation of honoring Native American Heritage Month, the next two Forest County Potawatomi (FCP) leaders that are recognized by the FCP Cultural Preservation Division (CPD) and Potawatomi Traveling Times (PTT) are Charles Kisheck and John Shawano. Again, this is information gathered from the FCP CPD and is just pieced together by PTT in order to relay this information to the public.

Charles Kisheck is next on the list of chiefs with a date of 1914.

PTT was able to dig up some info on Kisheck from “The Wisconsin Archae-ologist: Vol. 19, No. 2, April, 1920.” It states, “Charles Kisheck, who was elected delegate of the Forest County band of Potawatomi, was born at Manitowoc in about 1840.” CPD had this to offer: Simon Kahquados stated that Delegate Chief Charles Kisheck was born in Shawano County in a village known as Bugitsquian, which means River Flats or River Flat Marsh. This village was on a Native American trail near the Manito-woc County line just south of Kiel.

Finding the date that Kisheck became Chief was a bit of a challenge for CPD. But correspondence from Rev. Eric O. Morstad, dated May 14, 1913, referenc-es a letter dated April 25, 1913, sent to “Chief” Charles Kisheck. On the recom-mendation of Rev. E.O. Morstad, Chief Kisheck was employed as an interpreter and assisted Walter M. Wooster (a clerk

in the office of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs) in completing the 1907 Wooster Roll of Wisconsin Potawatomi which reported 1,972 Wisconsin Potawatomi Indians. This document listed Wisconsin Potawatomi individuals, along with their Potawatomi and English names, their ages, genders, residences and relationships to others in their families. Charles Kisheck is enrolled on this list in the number one seat at age 64, residence Carter, Wis., with Indian name Kish-kinakaang meaning “cut off ” and under remarks is listed as “Chief”. His wife is listed along with his three sons, a daugh-ter and two widows.

It is also noted that in 1913, Charles Kisheck and Rev. Eric O. Morstad joined efforts to purchase 11,786 acres of land using treaty monies. A statement from Simon Kahquados notes that Delegate Chief Charles Kisheck died at the age of 71 on Feb. 5, 1914, in Marinette County or Sheboygan County.

Succeeding Kisheck was John Sha-wano (1914-1934). A letter written by Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells dated May 11, 1914, references the death of Chief Charles Kisheck and a petition from some Potawatomi for a successor. The letter explains that the commission was opposed to appointing chiefs because the government wanted to put an end to tribal relationships and deal with Native Americans individually rath-er than to have to go through chiefs. The government didn’t oppose Native Ameri-

cans appointing chiefs themselves, but the government viewed chiefs as merely figureheads.

However, correspondence from several sources reveals that John Shawano was highly regarded by Rev. Morstad, Cato Sells, and by many Potawatomi.

In May 1914, Sells wrote, “Should any choice be made at all of a successor (to Chief Charles Kisheck) and good place the most confidence in John Shawano and look to him as a leader among his people.” According to probate re-cords, John Shawano died August 2, 1934, and his age was listed as approximately 60. However, cen-sus records dated 1927 and 1933 list the year of his birth as 1862, meaning he would have been 72 when he passed.

PTT will be continuing this series as time allows. Being Native American Heritage Month, it only seemed right to start in now. It may continue throughout the year or pick up where it left off in November 2020. If anyone has in-formation they would like to share, please contact Val Niehaus at (715) 478-7498 or [email protected].

Deadline for the December 1, 2019 issue of the

Traveling Times is Wednesday, November 20, 2019.

On Monday, Oct. 28, PTT had the pleasure of getting out of the warm office and into the chilly outdoors for a bit at the request of FCP tribal elder Hazel George. The reason for the request was simple, but the whole idea leading up to that request could have a positive and culturally-significant impact.

Back on June 27 of this year, Hazel approached the FCP Planning depart-ment with an idea that would increase awareness of the language and culture in the community. Her hope was to create dual language signs to identify the differ-ent tree species along Potawatomi Trail. The idea is that when children travel to and from Gte Ga Nes, they will see the signs and the language and learn from them. Hazel not only wanted the chil-dren to see the language, she wanted the parents, siblings, community members, employees and visitors to learn from the signs as well.

The created signs are as follows:• big tooth aspen: za di• ironwood: mya nos• white ash: kap sêk• hemlock: ga ga gwesh• yellow birch: win sa têk• bitternut (hickory): mte gwa bak• basswood: wi gbë mesh• sugar maple: she na mesh • elm: enip • dead elm tree: enip• black ash: wis gak • quaking aspen: za di

• white birch: wi gwa sa têk• tamarack: man be mesh The project involved committee mem-

bers, staff, and various departments: • Tribal Elder: Jim Thunder• Language and Culture: Robert Van-

Zile and Donald Keeble• Land Use Committee: Herbert Dan-

iels Jr., Melissa Gorham, Jessica Jacobson, Shaunnebne Daniels, Frank Shepard Jr.

• Forestry: Forestry Manager Kevin Makuck, Forester Richard Congdon, Fire-Fuels/Community Forest Manager Jimmy Gumm, Corvin Emery

• Planning: Planner Michelle Berdan• Tribal Historic Preservation Office:

Michael LaRongeThe following recalls the timeline of

the dual language-sign process: • Staff from the Tribal Historic

Preservation Office, Forestry, GIS and Planning walked along Potawatomi Trail with tribal elder Hazel George to identify, mark and locate the different tree species and locations for the signage.

• Natural Resources and Tribal His-toric Preservation Office were contacted to ensure there were no environmental or cultural concerns with the installation of the signs.

• Met with the Land Use Committee to request and obtain approval for the placement of the signs along Potawatomi Trail.

• Requested approval from Executive Council.

• Requested assistance from Jim Thunder, Donald Keeble and the Lan-guage & Culture Department in order to collect the Potawatomi names.

• Went out to GPS the locations, mark the trees, and measure the distance from the right-of way.

• Contacted Digger’s Hotline to put in a planning locate to identify the location of existing utilities.

• Reviewed appropriate size of the lettering based upon the speed, distance and time of travel.

• Hazel made the final selection for the signage background and font colors.

• Ordered and received the signs, brackets, and posts from Rent-a-Flash.

• Placed a Digger’s Hotline request to locate utilities.

• Scheduled the installation of the signs.

• Cleaned up brush and branches and installed the signs.

That last bullet point was the rea-son for PTT’s excursion to the chilly outdoors: to document the momentous occasion of an idea brought to life when people work together. But this foray out into the cold was worth it! Hazel was so pleased with the process and the final result. Her enthusiasm was contagious and she was truly enjoying the morning: laughing, poking fun, and telling stories – not to mention helping clean brush from the spots where the signs would be posted.

Many thanks to all who had a hand in making a difference in the community!

History on Tapby Winda Collins in collaboration with Maple Place, Inc.

The Crandon Area Historical Society held its latest History on Tap presenta-tion in the Town of Laona on Wednes-day, Nov. 6. The subject this time around was the history of the Connor Lumber and Land Company Store that has been a mainstay on Laona’s main street for the past 105 years. The presentation included photos and stories of the iconic building. It should be noted that in August of this year, the non-profit organization Maple Place, Inc., whose mission is to revitalize this piece of Laona’s history, was success-ful in placing the building on the Wis-consin State Register of Historic Places.

FCP tribal member Norman Tribbett contacted PTT about this presentation because the Bureau of Indian Affairs once had an office in the building. Maple Place was contacted and was kind enough to forward the following information courtesy the Wisconsin State Historical Society:

The Bureau of Indian Affairs Office moved from Carter to Laona in 1916 when it became known as the Laona Agency. It is possible - probable - that the agency moved directly into the Connor Lumber and Land Company Store building that year. In 1927, the Laona Agency was consolidated with the Lac du Flambeau Agency and of-fices moved to nearby Crandon, Wisconsin.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is an

agency of the federal government responsible for the management and administration of land held in trust by the United States for Native American Tribes. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has a complicated and controversial history given its history of mis-management of Indian lands and timber resources, and its late 19th to early 20th century devastating and failed initiative to educate Indian children in boarding schools where children were removed from their families and denied the knowledge and practice of native language and customs. Bureau of Indian Affairs offices were located in various locations throughout Indian country and during the period the office was located in Laona, there were over 2,000 Potawatomi, Ojibwa, and some Menom-inee tribal members living in the region. That the Bureau of Indian Affairs office was located here for over 10 years further exemplifies the prominence of this building associated with governmental functions.

Many thanks to Norman Tribbett for bringing this to the attention of PTT and to Maple Place for its assistance!

History on Tap is free of charge and is open to all ages. History on Tap is sponsored by the Crandon Area Histor-ical Society and the University of Wis-consin-Madison, Division of Extension Forest County. For more information contact Michelle at (715) 478-7797.

Tribal Member Takes Part in Chicago Art Initiativeby Winda Collins in collaboration with Starla Thompson

Several weeks ago, FCP tribal member Starla Thompson, who also happens to be the leadership development manager for FCP Education, sent PTT an email about what she described as “a really cool art initiative”. Located in Chicago, this initiative’s goal was to honor the city’s Potawatomi ancestral ties.

There were two different facets to the initiative: One was an inflatable sculpture titled “Founders”, which featured four interpretative busts that included Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable and his wife, Potawatomi tribe member Kitihawa, who were key in the founding of Chicago.

Floating Museum partnered with the Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago Park District to transform the Green Line into a moving cultural destination, activating several parks along the line. The sculpture popped up once a week on Wednesdays, July 24 – Sept. 11, 2019. Upon the conclusion of the exhibition, the sculpture was moved to Navy Pier where Kitihawa was acknowledged and honored with Native drum and dance by Winfield Woundedeye and Thompson.

The other part of the initiative was an installation on two Green Line regular service train cars. This featured Kitihawa with photography done by Adam Sings In The Timber (Apsáalooke/Crow). The model for this was none other than Starla Thompson, who stated, “Tth Migwetth to photographer Adam Sings In The Timber who took the image of me for the train, bringing our women forward and reclaiming our place present-day with his work!” Thompson’s image appeared both inside and outside the cars.

According to an article in the Chi-cago Tribune, Faheem Majeed, Floating Museum co-director, said, “It’s really thinking about the founding of Chicago and maybe changing that narrative a little

bit to think about Chicago being birthed from a union involving a French Haitian and a Potawatomi woman. There’s not a lot of writing about DuSable; there’s even less about the woman he married. We need to speak her name; we need to talk about the contribution of this woman in the founding of Chicago and think about tribal roles in our city.”

Thompson had this to say about her experience: “Having been born and raised in Chicago, I knew the history of Potawatomi in the city. This was a source of strength for me, yet I was aware the truth was not meaningfully or largely known or shared. When photographer Adam Sings In The Timber and the Floating Museum artists approached me to include my image as a part of the project in honor of Chicago’s Potawatomi roots and Kitihawa, I was honored. Jean Baptiste Point DuSable is regarded as Chicago’s founder, and his Potawatomi wife, Kitihawa, is a woman I believe deserves more recognition. To be able to share her contributions has been hum-bling. As a young girl in the city, the “L” train as we affectionately called it, was our primary means of transportation. I can’t tell you how many times I looked out those train windows imagining my future. Today, I am grateful for all the opportunities afforded to me on behalf of my tribe. Therefore, the chance to come full circle and help tell the real story behind Chicago has been a dream come true!”

A really cool art initiative indeed. Many thanks to Thompson for sharing this with PTT! For more information on this initiative, visit: https://floatingmuse-um.org/Transit.

FCP Junior’s Boxing Club & Fitness CenterVal Niehaus

After having started a boxing club in the basement of his own home in the year 2000, Mark Daniels Sr. has made the decision to “hand over the gloves” to his son, Mark Daniels Jr., aka Junior. It is his hope that by doing so, he will be passing on the legacy that has been developed over the years through his family and their love of the sport of boxing and physical fitness in general. The boxing club had really started to take off in 2002, and as with many new programs, it has had its ups and downs since then. Despite facing challenges over the years, Junior wants this club to become a per-manent fixture in the community and is intent on working to make that happen.

The club’s new name is FCP Junior’s Boxing & Fitness Center and it will be located at the old high school in Cran-don, which is now known as the NRC. The formal address is 100 N. Prospect Ave., but it should be noted that the club’s facilities will be using the entrance on Madison Ave. across the street from Cardinal Park - NOT the main entrance to the building itself.

This will not only be a boxing club for ages 11 and up, but it will be a fitness center for anyone in the community who wants to come work out during these winter months – that time of the year that keeps us indoors more and contrib-utes to storing up those extra pounds. This site will be open to the public and not just to tribal membership. So, if you

are a young, middle-aged, or an “older” individual looking for a place to come walk on a treadmill or lift some weights, this is your place to go. Monthly mem-bership is $20 for non-tribal and $30 if they’re training to compete.

The gym will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Saturday having some optional openings planned for the future. Junior says he will be the one present at the gym most of the time, but if he has to run an errand or has an appointment, he will leave a note with his cell phone number for attendees to be able to reach him anytime if necessary.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be dedicated to training in boxing and as previously stated, this is a program for ages 11 and up. Those interested in pursuing this activity can come in and train under the eye and talents of Junior who is quite experienced and skilled in the sport.

Tuesdays and Thursdays will be geared more towards strengthening and condi-tioning/circuit course/lifting activities – these also being an important part of the boxing sport. General strengthening as well as attention to cardio condition-ing are both important in developing the well-rounded boxer. As Junior and his father have both said, if any youth are really interested in pursuing this sport, their experience and abilities will enable them to help interested young people do things the right way under the eye of an

experienced trainer. Both Daniels Jr. and Sr. are known in the boxing circuit and will be able to help interested students get involved in competitions.

Junior also said, “I want to have a progress report as well for the youth and parents to see. If you are succeeding each week you will be rewarded, and if you are not taking the training seriously, other consequences will happen. You have to show an interest in this sport or in stay-ing physically active while being here. It is not a place to come to be goofing off. There is a lot of equipment here that you could injure yourself on if you are not paying attention.” With that also being said, anyone who decides to come and use the facilities will have to sign a waiver to do so, which is a standard practice in such a facility.

Junior did emphasize that if you are not interested in the sport of boxing, that is perfectly okay. You can come in and use their extensive and well-maintained equipment which is all located in the same area as the boxing ring. Among oth-er things, they have treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machines, kettle bells, Olympic weights and box jumps available for those interested in physical fitness.

Juniors wife, Lindsay, is also looking forward to starting her own class in cir-cuit course training. If there are potential clients who are female and would feel more comfortable with a female train-er, this is your opportunity to see what

she has to offer. And of course, Junior’s father, Mark Sr. will still be in and out of the gym, though he will be doing things a little more low key as he passes on the gloves.

Even though there will be focused training in boxing, Junior did make the point that in time he is hopeful that he will be able to help people with their physical fitness programs and nutrition. He is extremely passionate about health and well-being and is very interested in efforts to keep our bodies running at peak performance through healthy choices with respect to exercise and nutrition. He and his wife both follow a vegan diet and they are both physically fit in many ways. They can and want to help others be the best they can be by helping them learn about and develop healthy lifestyles.

Best wishes to Junior in pursuing what he loves doing as he develops a facility that will both offer youth an opportu-nity to learn a great sport as well as help others improve their health. He loves the sport of boxing along with pushing his body and mind to be the best it can be and will be a great resource and role model for those interested in improving their overall health and fitness.

If you have any other questions or need more details about things related to this enterprise, Junior can be reached at (715) 889-0710, and his wife, Lindsey, at (715) 889-0282.

Participants of Tribal Wellvation celebrated their first year of the program the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019. The end-of-year celebration took place at Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel and was sponsored by FCP Community Health. Participants and a guest of their choosing were invited to the celebration, which included an award ceremony, dinner, and a prize raffle. FCP tribal elder Norman Tribbett was asked to say the prayer. Participants who earned silver and gold status received their rewards. Those who earned gold status were also awarded with a special gift of cedar, sage, and a beautifully-crafted lanyard that were put together by Nicki Tomlin. Community Health staff encouraged participants to share feedback for what they would like to see in Tribal Wellvation’s second year; many suggestions and ideas were shared.

The Tribal Wellvation program promotes healthy behaviors and is available to FCP tribal members who

are 18 and older. The program rewards participants for completing a biometric screening, health assessment, and other annual appointments such as physicals and dental checkups. Participants can also earn points by attending community events such as the Swine, Dine and Dash and the Breast Cancer Awareness event. Incentives for being active in the program include $50 - $150 in Visa gift cards and the chance to win a Fitbit through quar-terly drawings.

Community Health thanks all Tribal Wellvation participants for a wonderful first year and is looking forward to of-fering new and exciting opportunities in the future.

Tribal Wellvation Program Celebrates First Year submitted by Community Health

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released a statement on Oct. 10, 2019, with an updated number of cases of lung injury associated with the use of e-cigarettes like JUUL and other vaping products. As of Oct. 8, 2019, the CDC reported 1,299 cases of confirmed lung injury and 26 deaths associated with e-ciga-rette or vape use. Many of these cases are related to the use of THC-con-taining products that may or may not contain nicotine. The CDC rec-ommends that e-cigarette users or vapers avoid using THC-containing products such as e-juice or pods. The CDC also recommends that people avoid buying any type of e-cigarette or vaping product off the street and refrain from adding ad-ditional substances to e-cig juice or pods.

The 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey by the FDA and CDC showed that e-cigarette use by high school stu-dents increased 78 percent from 2017 to 2018. The combination of easy conceal-ment, fun flavors, and social acceptance of nicotine dependence on social me-dia may be contributing to such high numbers. E-cigarette use is easy to hide as there is no smoke or smell to conceal and the devices could easily be mistaken for other household objects. The JUUL, for instance, is shaped like and charges similarly to a USB drive. Youth who are addicted to nicotine as a result of using vapes like JUUL may be hesitant to ask for help.

If you or someone you know is strug-gling with nicotine addiction after using e-cigarettes like JUUL, please reach out for help. Nicotine addiction is hard to break but it isn’t impossible. The resourc-es below could help you or someone you know quit smoking or vaping.

This is Quitting is a free mobile program created by the Truth Initiative that is tailored specifically for young adults who want to stop smoking or vaping. You can enroll by texting “DITCHJUUL” to 88709.

WI Tobacco Quit Line offers free coaching to Wisconsin vapers or

smokers who are interested in quitting. To get started, call 800-QUIT-NOW.

HWC Holds Annual Breast Cancer Eventby Val Niehaus

Ahren and Makayla Polar came in festive outfits and their precious

little guy is hiding under his horn.

Participants watch a video aboutthe new mammography machine.

As most people know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and each year Forest County Potawatomi (FCP) Health & Wellness Center’s (HWC)Community Health department hosts the annual Breast Cancer Event for tribal members and their families. This year’s event was held on Oct. 29, 2019, and was well attended by women, men and children. There were tables full of information on breast cancer as well as a number of other health-related issues with each table also being loaded with treats and goodies for participants to grab as they reviewed the educational material available.

Julie Burt RTR(M)(BS) ARRT, FWSRT-Radiologic Technologist/Imag-ing Director was there to talk with the attendees about a new mammography machine that will be coming to FCP HWC to provide patients with the most up-to-date screening equipment now available. The machine is called the Hologic Selenia Dimensions 3000 DBT (2D/3D) Mammography Unit. As said on the slide show, this company’s tech-

nology has been in the forefront of breast cancer screening for 10+ years with this particular unit being the first 3D Mam-mography unit to be approved by the FDA. This is a HUGE deal for HWC to obtain for its patients and will benefit the community greatly in early detection of breast cancer and saving lives. It is far superior to the previous mammography equipment offering more efficiency, more sensitivity in detecting early cancers, and improved comfort for the patient. It is a massive technological advancement, and it is wonderful to have it added to the HWC Radiology department for use by the many patients they serve.

This was a great event with informa-tion that was very important to many who attended. Hopefully, this new equipment will contribute to improved screening for breast cancer and, thereby, better survival for patients who are af-flicted with this all-too-common disease. The presentation was followed with an excellent meal prepared by Dewing’s Catering so many thanks to them.

Crandon Fourth Graders Learn About Native American Historysubmitted by FCP Cultural Center, Library & Museum

About 60 fourth graders at Crandon Elementary School, who have been study-ing Native American history, recently took a break from the classroom to visit the FCP Cultural Center, Library & Museum.

Although their visit was short, the time the kids spent there was packed with activities. Upon their arrival at the building on Oct. 22, the students were

divided into three groups and took turns visiting the library, the cultural hall and the museum gallery.

At a presentation in the library, stu-dents learned about the books, movies and other materials available there. They also watched a video about Potawatomi history and played with the library’s toys, games and puppets.

Downstairs in the cultural center, kids

enjoyed a craft activity as staff members guided them in creating and decorating small-paper canoes using craft paper and string.

With their teachers, the children toured the museum gallery and learned about various aspects of Potawatomi history and culture. The tours highlight-ed the annual Potawatomi Gathering, the history of Potawatomi migration and

removal, treaties and more. As all the activity began winding

down, staff members made sure each child had a bag of popcorn for the bus ride back to school. Along with the pop-corn, the students also took with them a greater appreciation for Potawatomi culture and history.

I would like to congratulate Nick Shepard Sr. and Brooks Boyd on their victories as Council Member. It was a close race and I know we are all better for it.

I would like to thank Jessica Jacobson for all the hard work she did for my campaign.

I would also like to thank my wife, Jill. For 34 years you have been my rock and the glue that keeps my world together. With you by my side, nothing is impossible. I love you.

To the 120 tribal members who voted for me, I wish I could have been able to fulfill your hope to lead the Tribe in a new direction on Coun-cil, but the Tribe chose other leaders at this time. I will continue to pray for our leadership to help them find the strength, determination and wisdom to keep the Forest County Potawatomi Community mov-ing forward.

While campaigning, I was fortunate to hear from so many members who shared comfort and concerns with today’s government. I think we can all agree that government spending can’t outgrow our ability to pay for it. As so many of my fellow tribal members heard me say, “No more talk; let’s change our behavior. Enforce that behavior and ultimately reward the behavior.” We have the ability to change our behavior today!

You have my word that this isn’t the end for me and, if anything, this loss has fueled my fire and inspired me even more. Thank you to all of my supporters. I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Governor's Award: OUTSTANDING LARGE BUSINESS, MINORITY-OWNED

WCPD: SUPPORTS C.A.M. & RED SANDS EVENTThis weekend Chief Jeremy Moore of the Wgema Campus Police Department attended the 3rd Annual C.A.M. (Community Activated Medicine) & Red Sands Event hosted by the Electa Quinney Institute. This event focused on raising awareness and social justice and healing action on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

The event took place on the UW-Milwaukee campus in the Wisconsin Room on Nov. 3. There were workshops to address sexual assault, human trafficking, and domestic violence. Following the workshops there was the Healing with Red Sands Ceremony and then a Community Healing Circle. The event ran from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Greenfire: HOSTS ANNUAL CHILI COOKOFFThe Wgema Campus wrapped up October with some friendly competition as Greenfire hosted its Annual Chili Cookoff.

At the Wgema Campus Cookoff, members of the Potawatomi Business Development Corporation, Wgema Campus Police Department, Data Holdings Data Center and Greenfire Management Services participated. Competition was stiff as there were 10 entries. Darrin Schulz, Joe Tesch, David Geddes, Val Neumaier, Brian Kraus, Ann LaMarche, Jake Menore, Judy Haack, Kip Ritchie, and Cheryl Bousquet each boasting his/her own spin on chili.

Judging the competition were Charlie Opferman of FCPC Renewable Energy, Keith Stanley of Near West Side Partners, Paul Cromell of Potawatomi Hotel and Casino and Eric Jende and Sean Schwartz of Wgema Campus Police Department. The reigning 2018 Chili Cookoff Champion, Darrin Schulz of Data Holdings prevailed again and was named the 2019 Chili Cookoff Champion!

The Northern Operations office got in on the fun and held a chili luncheon for its team of Halloween goblins as well. Thank you to all who participated and joined in on the fun!

Greenfire was awarded the 2019 Wisconsin Minority Business Enterprise Award for Outstanding Large Business. The award was received at a ceremony at the Governor’s Award Breakfast during the 38th Annual Marketplace Conference held at the Potawatomi Conference Center. The company was recognized for establishing a business that demonstrated the capacity to grow and has plans for continued expansion.

“We are very proud to be selected for this award and are grateful for everyone who contributes to our success across the state of Wisconsin,” said Kip Ritchie, President. “As a minority-owned business, we work hard to not only establish ourselves in a competitive marketplace, but we are committed to hiring and working with other minority-owned businesses through our expansive network of subcontractors. Together

we are builders of the future, and it’s great to be surrounded by so many exceptional companies.”

Twenty-five Wisconsin companies from 12 cities were selected as finalists for the 2019 Marketplace Governor’s Awards. The annual event honors businesses owned by minorities, women and service-disabled veterans. More than

150 nominations were received this year recognizing the achievements of Wisconsin businesses of all sizes and industries.
