Pass Creek Council

Representative Oglala Sioux Tribe Council

REPORT

December 05, 2008

RE: Final Report of my (2) year Council Representative position

Hau Wakpa Iyopta Oyata

I greet each and every one of you within the Pass Creek District as an Ikce Wicasa a common humble man and hope that this report finds you in good health and good spirits. I'm not the type of person that will go around and brag or lie about what I did. I was raised by my Grandfather George Leo DuBray who always said, "Always have and show respect for the Elderly & people and if you work hard you don't have to brag. Your hard work will speak for itself through the eyes of the people and I will always believe this". The reason I say this is because I have heard my own relatives make remarks about what I was doing Comments: If you want to get a hold of Ron Duke call Washington DC! Another close relative made a comment when I was seen in Allen what are you doing here you should be in Pine Ridge!

These (2) years have been very rewarding and have given me a great deal of experience and knowledge in the field of Politics. I did give 110 per cent of myself to working for the Oglala Lakota Nation Oyata and the Pass Creek District, and I have no regrets, what I did these past two years was very important in bringing resources to the Pine Ridge Reservation which includes Pass Creek.

This next issue I bring forward is important and I hope that the Pass Creek District understand what I'm bringing out! Each of the 9 Districts within the Pine Ridge Reservation elect a District Council consisting of a President-Vice President-Secretary- Treasure who in turn employ persons at the District C.A.P. offices, then each Community within the Districts elect their President-Vice President- Secretary-Treasure <these entities handle the day to day functions of the Districts, then each District elects a Representative to handle the issues on the Tribal Council level through the Committee's which are (6) as follows:

1. Land Committee meet on every other Monday (I was the Vice Chairman on this Committee)

2. Education Committee meet on every other Monday (I was a member on this Committee)

3. Judiciary Committee meet on every Wednesday (I was the Chairman of this Committee)

4. Finance Committee meet on every Thursday (I was a member of this Committee)

5. Economic & Business Development Committee meet every Friday (I was the Vice Chairman of this Committee)

The only committee I didn't sit on was the Health & Human Service Committee but I still tried to sit in on these meetings.

Looking at the above this system is used throughout this country? The United States Headquarters is in Washington DC-The Pine Ridge Reservation Headquarters is in Pine Ridge. Every State Elects (Congress Representative) & (Senators) who do their duties out of Washington DC and every State has elected people that handle state issues and Counties elect their officials I guess what I'm trying to get at is if I'm hearing what's being said that I was to sit at the District C.A.P. office what would be the reason to elect (District Council people).

Each Committee on the Tribal Council is very important to every District it is through these Committee's that resources are developed for each District. Each Council Representative then brings back to the District when they schedule meetings and give reports on what is happening within the Tribal - Federal - State - National Governments.

I have made nearly every Committee Meeting that I sit on and I have made every Tribal Council meeting that was scheduled Representing the Pass Creek District in the BEST way I could! I also tried to make every District Council Meeting and gave reports on my Travel -

Tribal Council and Committee. The State operate the same way State elected officials operate the State - Elected Representatives of Congress & Senators from each state handle the issues in Washington DC, as Council Representatives handle issues in Pine Ridge - Tribal Council Building!

Below are the travel reports to Washington DC in the 2 years on Tribal Council I made 6 trips to DC and each one of these trips we brought back improvements and more funding for the programs that we represented. There has been a misconception about travel for most of the Pine Ridge Reservation and that being (Travel is only a vacation or a Party time) I can tell you that every trip that I made I represented the Pine Ridge Reservation with dignity and respect you will never hear that I was out drinking or that I didn't do anything on any trip I made!

In closing I would like to mention some of the accomplishments that were made during this administration;

Honoring 42 Elderly 65 yrs and Older; This is something that I wanted to do for the Pass Creek District and I was able to get it done by honoring these 42 Elderly with Tribal Flags. It is through the Elderly that we will continue our Lakota Traditions-Culture-Heritage and Language. I will continue to always respect our Elderly!

Tribal Education Department; after 10 to 15 years of attempting to get the Tribal Council to approve of adopting our own Tribal Education Department this Administration did approve to develop our Education Department, once this program is fully operational as Lakota's we can develop our own (Curriculum) (Teacher Certification Program) (School Accreditation Program) this is truly taking control of our own destiny and "We as Lakota's can start to truly say we are a Sovereign Nation"

Oglala Sioux Tribe-Child and Family Code; This is another program that has been on the forefront of several past Council Administrations; Many of our Oglala Lakota Oyata have had input into the development of this code, some are no longer with us, I can say that I'm very proud to have been apart of it's implementation. This Code took the responsibility from the STATES, another step toward Sovereignty.

Oglala Sioux Tribes Uniform Commercial Code; The passing of the Uniform Commercial Code was another important milestone which will help bring and help develop businesses on the Pine Ridge Reservation, as Economic and Business Development is vital for Oglala Lakota Oyata.

Constitutional Amendments; Over several years I have heard the cries of the Oglala Lakota Oyata to make changes to our Constitution, this Administration was given the approval by the Secretary of Interior to make those changes. The Last Constitutional changes were made in 1997. Changes such as [Separation of Powers] [Ethics Code] etc. through a Secretarial Election some changes were approved.

Second Council Position for Pass Creek; I'm very proud of the fact that I was able to bring a second Tribal Council Position to the Pass Creek District, a second council position will allow each Council person to sit on 3 or 4 Committee's when 1 had to stay on top of all actions that came out of the 6 Committee's of the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council

High Risk Status: Because of the changes that the Tribal Council had to make some of the Programs along with the Tribe's finance's "Housing is off of High Risk" "Public Safety is off High Risk" "the Tribe is nearly off High Risk" to mention a few.

I take this time to say WOPILA thank-you to the Wakpa Iyopta Oyata for allowing me to serve in the 2006- 2008 Tribal Council Administration. I have learned the positives about being a good politician. And I have seen a lot of corrupt and bad evil political activity. I ask Tunkasila Ate Wakantanka to watch over those that have been elected to this circle and keep them safe and point them in a good direction.

On Sunday March 2nd 2008 I attended National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) scheduled meetings at the Westin Hotel Washington DC from 09:00am 12:00pm I attended the Building Bridges for Indian Children and Family Welfare Then from 1:00pm to 4:30pm I attended the Tribal Meth Task Force seminar. A lot of good information was given out and good dialog with other Tribes on different ideas on dealing with these issues.

On Monday March 3rd 2008 I attended the, Bureau of Indian Affairs Modernization plans at the Westin Hotel Washington DC there were Tribal leaders there and asked that the Office of Special Trustee be included in the Department of Interior's Modernization Initiative and there were those Tribes that questioned the legal status of the Office of Special Trustee it was only put in place for a period of time and then would be dissolved there were questions on the amount of funds to run this program funds that are taken from other Interior Programs. Then from 1:00pm to 5:00pm I attended the 1st General Assembly of the National Congress of American Indians during this session Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) addressed the NCAI participants as well as other speakers. From 7:00pm to 10:00pm I attended the 10th Annual NCAI Leadership Awards Dinner.

On Tuesday March 4th 2008 from 8:30 am to 12:00 noon I attended the 2nd General Assembly of NCAI held at the Westin Hotel Washington DC there were speakers that addressed various issues such as U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Labor Relations, Climate Change, the NCAI Native VOTE 2008 then there was a Tribal Leaders Legislative Strategy, From 1:30pm to 5:00pm I attended the 3rd General Assembly of NCAI where Congressman Dale Kildee, (D-MI) addressed the Tribal Leaders as well as other. From 6:30pm to 8:30pm I attended the Capitol Hill Legislative Reception Co Hosted by NCAI and Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.

On Wednesday March 5th 2008 I along with others made visits to Capitol Hill visiting at 9:00am Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) Chairman Committee on Budget, other Committees Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry, Finance and Indian Affairs at 838 Hart Bldg. At 10:30am we met with Charles Galbrath Senator Tim Johnson's Administrative Assistant 136 Senate Hart Bldg, at 11:30am we met with Senator Byron Dorgan Chairman Indian Affairs Committee, other Committees Appropriations, Commerce, Science & Transportation, Energy and Natural Resources staff Heidi Frechette Indian Affairs Committee at 838 Senate Hart Bldg, at 1:00pm we met with Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) Vice Chair of the Native American Caucus, Committees Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee Staff Ben Kershaw. At 2:00 pm we met with Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD) Committees: Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Veterans' Affairs Staff Leslie Kindaris. At 3:00pm we met with Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) Committee Indian Affairs, Appropriations, Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, Budget, Energy and Natural Resources, Select Ethics at 136 Hart Senate Bldg.

At 3:30 pm we met with Senator John Thune (R-SD) Committees: Armed Services, Environment & Public Works, Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Veterans' Affairs at 493 Russell Senate Office Bldg.

On Thursday March 6th, 2008 I attended the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Oversight Hearing on the State of Facilities in Indian Count ry-Jai ls-Schools-Heal th Facilities. This was my first appearance on this type of hearings, and it was a very good eye opener. The Chairman Senator Byron Dorgan had some very strong harsh words for those at the Hearing who were the following; Panel 1

1. Mr. Randy Grinnel, Deputy Director, Management Operations, Indian Health Services, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Rockville, Maryland and accompanied by Mr. Gary Hartz, Director Office of Environment Health and Engineering, Indian Health Service; and Dr. Rick Olson, Director, Clinical and Prevention Services, Indian Health Service.

2. Mr. Jack Rever, Director of Facilities, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington DC; accompanied by Mr. Pat Ragsdale, Director, Office of Law Enforcement Services, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, DC

3. Mr. Domingo Herraiz, Director, Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC

Each one of those above gave a report that informed the Committee that all was in good shape basically saying there was no problems in Indian Country when it came to Construction-Law Enforcement- Health-Education and each Director for the past few years have asked for ½ less of Federal Funds from the previous years budget, this was when Senator Dorgan and others on the Committee tore into the Panel they could not understand why these Directors have asked for ½ less from previous years funds when the backlog is so great and Law Enforcement in Indian Country is a travesty the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs was to say the least very upset putting it lightly.

This is a great opportunity for Indian Nations to continue to pressure the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Service and Facilities U.S. Department of Interior. Don't let this opportunity pass us by. "It has given me hope that our voices are being heard" WOPILA Ron Duke Oglala Sioux Tribe Councilman Oglala Sioux Tribe signed 03/17/2008

Subject: Travel Report

On Sunday May 18, 2008 I flew out of Rapid City Airport for Washington DC at 6:50 am this flight was prescheduled. I arrived in Washington DC at 2:00 pm due to a delay in Minneapolis; I took a Taxi Cab to the Americana Hotel in Arlington, VA where I checked in.

On Monday May 19, 2008 I made some visits to Capitol Hill and walked around the Senate Russell building and walked to the Cannon building. On Tuesday May 20, 2008 we made a trip to Rockville, MD to meet with

I.H.S. Department Heads discussions

P

were on the OST-Ambulance Service building and the need for assistance to acquire another building for the Ambulance Service program. Discussions on other areas such as (DETOX CENTER)( TREATMENT CENTER)the question was made to I.H.S. officials, is there any type of funds available that can be channeled through the Oglala's to help with the Ambulance other than the appropriations that were submitted?

They did say they would look at options and if any they will let us know. As Tribal Council Members we will need to stay on top of this with I.H.S.

On Wednesday May 21, 2008 we began the day at 10:30 am with a visit to Congresswoman Stephannie Hersteth Sandlin's office and met with Lesley Kandaras & Joshua Albert they were presented with the issues of the Ambulance building as well as the Treatment Center building in Rapid City, SD and Law Enforcement issues, this meeting was very positive they are on top of these issues and are looking at legislation being presented to assist with these concerns. Then at 1:30 pm we met with Senator Tim Johnson's staff Charlie Galbraith and presented Senator Johnson's staff with the OST-Ambulance Program that has no type of a building to house there Ambulances, the Treatment Center at Sioux San that is very run down and needs to be replaced, and a possible Detox Center on the Pine Ridge Reservation! They will be looking at these issues and work at helping to find answers for the Oglala Lakota Oyata. We were also informed that Senator Tim Johnson and Charlie Galbraith will be down to Pine Ridge on May 30, 2008 around 1:00pm or 2:00pm. We then met with Heidi Frechette with the Committee on Indian Affairs under Senator Byron Dorgan Chairman of the Senate on Indian Affairs she was given the issues of the Ambulance Building needs-Treatment Center at Sioux San in Rapid City that's run down and needs to be replaced-Law Enforcement issues. Then we met with Senator John Thune and his Legislative Assistant he was informed of the Ambulance Program need for a building-the need for the replacement building of the Treatment Center at Sioux San and the shortfalls within the OST-Law Enforcement Program, he did say that we made a good presentation with the presentation, and will look at avenues if any that he would be able to assist us with.

On Thursday May 22, 2008 at 10:30 am we met with the Department of Justice/Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (Cory Ray-Public Liaison Specialist) & (Delka Bright- Lead Grant Program Specialist) on the ($290,000.00) dollars that they may be looking at taking back as these funds were issued in 2006 and not used by OSTDepartment of Public Safety, and to look at other funds to pick-up the 21 officers that OST/DPS will be losing in June-2008. Through this meeting we did get very positive feedback and there is a big possibility that OST/DPS will be able to use the ($290,000.00) funds through modifications that would allow the OST/DPS the flexibility to re-program these funds for vehicles OST/DPS then can expend these funds by June 2008 the deadline for this grant. We were also given important information on the 2008 Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP) that OST/DPS needs to get their application in before the deadline date of June 13, 2008, this new Grant would allow OST/DPS the ability to apply for ($400,000.00) for (21) officer positions and equipment as stipulated, We should know something within the next 2 weeks!!! At 2:00pm we met with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Pat Ragsdale & Garret DeClay on the ($16,000,000.00) they received and the distribution formula they will be using Mr. Ragsdale has said that any increases will be distributed based on a funding methodology that consist of eight (8) criteria:

1.High Crime Statistics—Crime rates for violent crimes

2.Current staffing ratios/staffing shortages in line with minimum requirements for safe operations

3.Geographical size and location— Law Enforcement: Distance officers have to travel to respond; Detention: Proximity to other facilities for transport purposes.

4. Calls for services

5. Consideration of new detention facilities that need full operating expenses and staff.

6. Prevalence of Meth and other serious drug problems

7. The recorded prevalence of gang activity.

8. Tribal request and/or formal analysis for the use of funds.

Then they have a list of Agencies categorized as (High Crime/Staffing need) (High Crime / No Staffing need) (Average or Low Crime/with Staffing Need) (Average or Low Crime/No Staffing Need) (No Staffing Statistics Reported) (No Violent Crime Statistics Reported).

Based on our Personal visit to the BIA Washington DC office and meeting with those Department Heads the OST/DPS will be getting a good amount to be added to the OST/DPS base budget.

As Tribal Council-members this is our responsibility as LEGISLATORS go to confront the National Level (Senators & Congressional) Politicians this is why we were elected AS REPRESENTATIVES to Represent our Oyata from our respective DISTRICTS and to Represent our Districts at the Tribal Level to make sure as Representatives our District Oyata get their wants and needs addressed and met the best way we can!!!
