Guy MuNrOEChairman and CEO, Kaw

Nation

Greetings to all Kaw Nation tribal members:

we were certainly blessed with wonderful weather for this year’s Powwow, com-pared to years past when tem-peratures would peak in the high 90’s to 100 degree mark.

a special “thank you” goes to the Cultural Commit-tee, our Maintenance crew, Kaw Nation Veterans, and the many volunteers it takes to prepare for such a special event. Great job!

tribal members from alaska, Maryland, New Mexico, Michigan, texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon and other states joined us for a weekend of fellowship and dancing.

i had the opportunity to

visit with tribal members on a variety of topics including constitution reform, how the tribe is doing in the current financial downturn, and what we are doing to hire Kaw’s who may be out of work.

i can tell you that the fi-nancial downturn is affecting the tribe and we are carefully examining spending to ensure we don’t need layoffs.

when it comes to hiring Kaw’s, i checked with our Hu-man resource director and am pleased to report that in the last year we have received over 170 applications. Only 12% of the applications come from Kaw’s, however, nearly half of those applying have been hired. Of the remaining 88% of the applicants only 35% are being offered jobs, meaning Kaw’s are far more likely to be hired than others.

the Constitution reform Committee has not made a final decision on lowering the blood quantum, but believes it is necessary for the tribe to sustain itself.

as our numbers continue to grow, so do the responsibil-ities of the executive Coun-cil and of you, the General Council, in meeting the needs of our tribal members. with 3,039 members scattered across the United States, it is difficult to communicate ef-ficiently and more frequently with our members in Okla-homa, and other states. we encourage each and every tribal member to get involved in those decisions which will affect not only you, but your children, grandchildren and future generations that will follow. Voice your concerns, speak up, and get involved.

to help make communi-cations easier, any tribal mem-ber is welcome to call our toll Free number 1-866-404-5297 (KawS).

i invite you to call Kaw Nation administrative Head-quarters at any time to ask questions, share your con-cerns, request help, comment on tribal activities, or share your family achievements

with us. if i am unavailable when you call, please leave your number and message on my voice mail, and i will return your call as soon as possible. My extension is 201. Our business hours are Mon-day through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

another means of com-munications is our website at www.kawnation.com, should you have access to the inter-net, or the Kanza News (pub-lished quarterly) is another source of information. we hope that you will find it use-ful in keeping up with what the tribe is doing.

For information concern-ing the Kaw Nation Consti-tution reform, call our toll Free number listed above, and ask for aaron Carlson at ex-tension 233 - or visit the web-site at www.kawcrp.com for the Newsletters and schedule for upcoming meetings.

we are very appreciative of Storm Brave’s contribution to Kanza language this summer. as part of her summer intern-ship she catalogued numerous archival materials, indexed a useful reference book, and add-ed many example sentences to the Kanza dictionary. Her work really adds to our knowledge of

the Kanza language. Storm Brave has done a tremendous

job in fulfilling her crown, plus all the re-sponsibilities that go along with the title of Princess.

SEPTEMBER 2009 KANZA » THE NEWSLETTER OF THE KAW NATION PAGE 3

the Constitution reform Committee continues to edu-cate themselves. Committee members recently visited with another tribe who rewrote their Constitution. the committee held a Public Hearing at the Kaw Powwow and continues to invite comments from other tribal members.

in July, several members of the committee traveled to Shawnee to meet with the Citizen Potawatomi Nation (CPN). the CPN underwent Constitution reform a couple of years ago and provided insight as to the process they undertook. the Potawatomi’s increased the size of their leg-islature (executive Council) and set up districts across the United States. the thought was that this would allow the tribe to better serve the inter-est of the people outside of the

service area. the committee plans to visit other tribes in the near future who have also un-dergone constitution reform.

during the Kaw Nation Powwow, the Constitution Committee held their first Pub-lic Hearing. the point of the hearing was to hear the views of tribal members in regards to what needs to be reformed. topics that arose at the pub-lic hearing were changing the

blood degree required to seek public office, the process we will undertake and how com-promise is going to be neces-sary in order to reform our government.

the Constitution reform Project was made possible by a grant from the administration of Native americans in the United States department of Health and Human Services.

if you have questions or comments, please direct them to the Constitution reform Project director, aaron Carl-son at 580-269-2552, ext. 233, or at [email protected]. the committee contin-ues to solicit comments from tribal members at the Consti-tution reform Project web-site, www.kawcrp.com, or by writing or calling the tribal complex.

Aaron Carlson - Project Director

Flu Season just around the corneras you may know, flu can

be easily spread from person to person. Some schools have already started, and that usu-ally brings on the flu. Here is an important list to stick on your refrigerator door.

teach your children ➢to wash their hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub. you can set a good example by doing this yourself.

teach your children ➢not to share personal items like drinks, food or un-washed utensils, and to cov-er their coughs and sneezes with tissues. Covering up their coughs or sneezes us-ing the elbow, arm or sleeve instead of the hand when a tissue is unavailable.

Know the signs and ➢symptoms of the flu. Symp-toms of the flu include fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit, 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater), cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired. Some people may also vomit or have diarrhea.

Keep sick children ➢at home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have fever or do not have signs of fever, without using fever-reducing drugs. Keep-ing children with a fever at home will reduce the number of people who may get infected.

do not send chil- ➢dren to school if they are sick. any children who are determined to be sick while at school, they will be send home.

For more information, you can visit www.flu.gov, or call 1-800-CdC-iNFO for the most current information about the flu.

Casey Don Slavin was in-ducted into the United States Army on March 13, 2007, and is stationed in Fort Hood, Texas, where his wife Tiffany and their three children, Han-ci, age 7; Hayden, age 5, and Harlee, age 4, anxiously await his return home from the war.

Casey completed his Ba-sic Training and Advance Infantry Training at Fort Ben-ning, Georgia. Graduation was held on June 29, 2007. Casey then attended special-ized training in California during the months of January and February 2008. He left for Afghanistan on July 10, 2008. Since he has been in Afghanistan, Casey has been promoted to Specialist and is looking forward to a lateral promotion to Corporal in the next few weeks. His MOS is Mortar man and is currently serving with the 1st Infantry Division, 26th Battalion Bravo Company or otherwise known as “The Viper Company”. Upon his return to the Unit-ed States and Fort Hood this coming June, he and his fam-ily will be looking forward to their transfer to Fort Carson, Colorado. Casey intends to make a career of being in the Army and hopes to retire.

In August 2008, Casey

had the honor and privilege to meet General David Petreaus, Central Command Com-mander, who presented him with a Challenge Coin and rec-ognition for having completed 72 missions while in support of Company operations stat-ing, “His leadership among his peers has significantly im-proved the company’s ability to provide 120mm mortar sup-port to soldiers in contact.” In October 2008, Casey received an Army Commendation Medal with Valor.

Casey returned to the United States on June 19, 2009. Michael and I drove down to Fort Hood to wel-come him home along with his wife and children. It was

one of the most moving ex-periences we have ever been a part of. We witnessed the excitement, relief, love and pride from so many that were waiting and watching for their soldier.

Casey is a descendant of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Red Rock, Oklahoma and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Tribe of Shawnee, Oklahoma.

Casey is the son of Dawn and Michael Briner of Ponca City. Casey’s maternal grand-parents are Madge Francis Dent-Artman and John Art-man, great grandparents were the late Abraham and Wilma Dailey Dent, great-great-grandparents were Ralph and Madge Pettit Dent, and

great-great-great grandparents were Hoke and Miriam Har-ragarra Dent. Casey’s father is Keith Slavin, also of Ponca City, and his paternal grand-parents are Kenneth and Ila Slavin of Ponca City, great-grandparents were Frank and Ida Evans Slavin, great-great-grandparents were James and Dellie Ott Slavin, and great-great-great-grandparents were James and Theresa Wasecti Slavin.

As an employee of the Kaw Nation, I am very thank-ful to the employees who have taken the time to inquire about my son’s safety and well being. It has been a difficult year and we truly appreciate everyone’s thoughtfulness and encouragement.

Betty Durkee, Kaw Nation Historian passed away on July 4th, 2009. Betty initially joined Kaw Nation in August, 2000 as a Grant Writer. Her expertise in history quickly

led her to become Kaw Nation Historic Preservation Director. She was a graduate of Penn State with a B.A. in English and History. Betty was a member of the elite Phi Beta Kappa.

Some of the special interest groups she belonged to were as follows: The Marland Mansion Estate Foundation, Oklahoma Federation of Music Clubs, National Museum of the American Indians, and Ponca City Native American Foundation. Betty retired from Kaw Nation in October, 2008.

“Betty’s passing is very sad news for many. Betty was as loyal and passionate about Kaw history as anyone I’ve met. She was definitely a great friend of the Kaw. She will be missed”. Mary Honeyman - Kaw Mission -Kansas Historical Society

“Betty was a knowledgeable, hard-working, and dedicated representative of the Kaw Nation. She made many friends in Council Grove and throughout the state of Kansas. She brought good humor and a can-do attitude to every endeavor she under-took. When she came to the Kaw Mission during an event, she always volunteered to assist our staff, and no task was beneath her: greet visitors, sweep floors, distribute brochures, serve food; Betty was willing to do anything. I respected Betty’s talents as a public speaker, grant writer and administrator, historian of the Kanza people, and loyal promoter of the Kaw Nation.

She was fiercely dedicated to the Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park project. She coordinated the planning for the park development, secured funds to stabilize the ruins of the interpreter’s house, co-authored the park trail’s interpretive brochure, presided over dedicatory events at the park, supervised the implementation of interpretive features currently in place, and pro-moted the park to various Council Grove organizations. In all of these endeavors, Betty was consistently appreciative of the

contributions of others and an effective advocate for the preservation and dissemination of Kanza culture and history. She was a true friend of Kaw heritage.” Ron Parks – Kaw Mission Historian

“For those of us who took time to know Betty on a personal level, it didn’t take long to see her soft, tender side. She adored all animals, from her faithful companion “Sunshine” (her cat) to the Panda bears in China, she loved them all. Betty was a supporter of the San Diego Zoo and enjoyed the Performing Arts Theater. She also enjoyed reading. It was an honor to have her as my friend.” Jennie Baker - Kanza News

We have received many questions and concerns about the Contract Health Services process and referrals. At this time I would like to ad-dress some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) concern-ing Contract Health Services.

1. What is Contract Health Services? a. Contract Health Services (CHS) includes resources for the

provision of medical services outside the scope of the Indian Health Services (IHS) direct care program.

b. Due to the limitation of CHS resources, funds must be man-aged in accordance with established medical priorities.

c. CHS resources are used for referred services “referrals,” and emergency services.

d. CHS can be accessed through 2 methods:1. Referral by Indian Health Service, Tribal Physician or Ur-

ban Program2. Emergency Services (Call-In)

e. A referral does not authorize payment for medical care de-livered, and some CHS medically indicated referrals are not within established and funded medical priorities and cannot be paid by CHS. If services are approved, the patient will be contacted by CHS with appointment information or you may contact your servicing CHS Office (Pawnee Health Service) at 800-452-3588 to find out the status of your referral.

2. What is the function of the Contract Health Review Committee?

a. CHS obligates funds ONLY to the extent of the resources available.

b. CHS Review Committee reviews all referrals and emergency contacts, Requests are reviewed and categorized in accor-dance with established medical priorities Requests are ranked in accordance with relative medical need within the medical priorities

c. Referrals are made for only 1 visit at a time or a prescribed number of Visits. Patients are required to return for another referral for a follow-up visit and the medical priority of the follow-up request may be different.

3. Who is eligible for Contract Health Services (CHS)?a. You must be a member of a federally recognized tribe and have

a Certificate Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB).b. You must live in the Contract Health Services Delivery Area

(Pawnee Service Area). Pawnee Service Area is made up of 7 counties: Kay, Noble, Payne, Grant, Garfield, Osage and Pawnee.

c. You must provide proof of residency for the past 6 months in the CHSDA (Pawnee Service Area) (i.e.: driver’s license, pic-ture ID, utility bill, income tax record, etc) and a CDIB card.

4. Why do I have to apply for Alternate Resources (Medicare, Med-icaid and/or 3rd party insurance)?

CHS is a payor of last resort: this means that approval of CHS pay-ment for services is considered after all other alternate resources are applied. Any patient who is potentially eligible is required to apply for the alternate resources.

5.If I am eligible for CHS, why are some of my medical bills being paid and others not?

a. Each visit to an outside physician (Non-IHS health care pro-vider) and the associated medical bill is distinct and must be examined individually to determine CHS eligibility.

b. All CHS requirements must be met for each episode (treatment) of care. A patient must meet residency, notification, medical priority of care and use of alternate resources requirements.

Example: If a CHS referral is authorized and approved, IHS will pay the first medical treatment. Follow up care or additional medical care should be done nearest accessible IHS or tribal facility; or they will require approval with a new CHS autho-

rization. If this process is not followed, the patient may be responsible for the expense.

6. The Kanza Clinic doctor refers me to a specialist, why am I being held responsible for the bill?

Referrals are not a guarantee for payment. Referral is a recom-mendation treatment and/or test only. The CHS program must review the referral to make the determination for IHS approval of payment. All CHS eligibility requirements must also be met.

7.What is the 180-day rule?a. A person who is permanently moving from one contract health

service area to another contract health service area must wait 180-days (6 months) to be eligible for services in the new con-tract health service area.

b. During that 180-day waiting period, if the person comes from a home base contract health service delivery area, that service area should cover their contract health services; if the person comes from an area that does not have a contract health ser-vice delivery area, the waiting period still applies until they are established in the new contract health service area.

c. The 180-day rule applies until the client establishes residency and becomes eligible in their new contract service delivery area.

8.How does a CHS Program determine if a client has established residency?

Residency is determined by both the physical presence of an in-dividual in current location combined with the intent of the individual to remain permanently. Steps to follow to establish residency and receive referrals are:1) Establish a chart at the Pawnee Health Center in order to be

eligible for referrals;2) Provide Kanza Clinic residency proof for the past 180-days

or 6 months one the following:Driver’s license or picture ID utility bill orincome tax record

9.Why can’t I get referrals when I want them from Kanza Clinic?a. Referrals are a recommendation from Kanza Clinic physician

given to a patient to receive medical procedures and/or treat-ment from an outside physician or medical facility;

b. The physician determines if the patient’s condition warrants a referral; not all conditions qualify for a referral. Questions concerning this should be addressed to your Kanza Clinic physician.

I hope I have answered many of your questions and I plan to continue addressing issues of this nature in future Newsletters. Kan-za Clinic’s goal is to provide an excellent standard of service to our patients.

At the National Tribal Child Support Association meeting held in July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jay Adams and the Di-rector of the Division of Special Staffs in the Nation Office of Chilad Support Enforcement in Washington, DC commended the tribes for the wonderful job that has been done to help sup-port Native American children. Since March, 2004, $83 million has been collected for Tribal child support. Another $11 mil-lion has been returned to the states for TANF reimbursement. Paternity has been established for 72,000 Native American children.

The Kaw Nation Child Support office was the 20th Tribal office that was opened nationwide. Since July, 2008, the Kaw Nation Child Support Office has established paternity on nu-merous cases, has modified child support orders, and has estab-lished orders for child support through the Kaw Nation Court.

Tribal child support programs are unique because each office is able to offer services that most states do not have the

time or money to do. All the workers in the Kaw Nation Child Support office are buc-cal swab certified to make genetic testing for paternity establishment faster, easier and more confidential. The State Distribution Center is used to provide direct deposit of child support to your account. There is still the option of child support being deposited to a Visa card for your convenience.

The process to apply for child support services or to have your current child support case transferred to Kaw Nation Child Support office is a simple one. The case specialists are available and willing to help with any child support problems that you may encounter. If we can be of help to you in collecting child support, please give us a call at the office at 580-765-9952.

SouthWind Casino has just intro-duced the new Smart Money Club Card that earns you points toward Free Play.

In March, the Casino put up signage and began letting customers know that every time they used their Smart Mon-ey Club Card, they were earning points toward Free Play coupons. These coupons ar-rived in the mail the third week in April.

Customers re-ceived Free Play Coupons ranging in value from $5 to $50 depending on how often and how much they played at the casino during the previous month.

Coupons are valid Monday through Thursday of each week. In order to use them, customers redeem the points they

have accumulated on their account.During the first week of the new

program, nearly 1,100 coupons were redeemed. This new program replaces the previous Thursday Night Match Play. Customers have received the pro-

gram well as they are able to play throughout the week — and they don’t have to wait in long lines to use them.

SouthWind Ca-sino remains the only casino in the area to offer cus-tomers the ability

to redeem their accumulated points for merchandise, free play and food offers.

June coupons will be mailed out May 18, so keep your eye on your mailbox and be sure to use your Smart Money Club Card each time you play.

Forty foot murals of the ships actual dining room were hung on each side of the hall, big band music played, while 136 guests enjoyed a prime rib dinner, a $10 Match Play, and the chance to win fun prizes while playing Blackjack.

The wandering hunters of The plainsAmong the farming Plains Indians, from the Osage and Wichita to the Mandan, there was corn – to be roasted long and

slow in the husk until each kernel was sweet and milky; parched until crunchy, golden, and nutlike; or pounded into a meal

for making bread and thickening stews. One variety of corn had ears no longer than a man’s thumb, so tender and sweet they could be eaten like grapes.
