Ojibwemowin Revitalization:
Gaa-Miskwaabikaang, Mashkiiziibii Partnership
At last Tuesday's Tribal Council meeting, Gaa-Miskwaabikaang and Mashkiiziibii (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa) tribal councils passed “The Lapointe Band Ojibwe Language MOU” to continue Ojibwemowin/Anishinaabemowin revitalization! This MOU binds students from both Nations together in an Ojibwe language immersion cohort through January 2023.

In October of 2021, the Tribe announced a 3-year Ojibwemowin Teaching & Training Program with the goal of building fluent language teachers who can then teach Ojibwemowin as a career or job path. Bad River announced the same program offering, and this MOU agreement serves to further promote the importance of working together to revitalize our language.

"Supporting the revitalization of Ojibwemowin is key to the survival of our people and the next generations to come," said Red Cliff Chairman Christopher Boyd and Vice-Chairman Nathan Gordon.

The partnership also extends to the Bayfield School District, as it seeks to further incorporate Ojibwemowin offerings as part of its teaching curriculum. Funding for this program is largely provided by an ANA grant (Administration for Native Americans). Additional funding is being provided by the Bayfield School District, allocations from the American Rescue Plan, Red Cliff Education Department, Tribal Historic Preservation Office, and the Tribal Council.

Our language is alive and should be passed down to the next generations to come. With this program we are getting closer to achieving that goal for our people and community," said Red Cliff Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Marvin Defoe.

Chi=Miigwech to all involved in ensuring our language and culture can thrive for generations to come!

Reminder: FREE weekly Ojibwemowin classes start the first week of April! Registration is still open for the 12-week courses. Three different levels are offered. These classes are free and open to everyone. Learn more by joining the Facebook page Memegwesi's Ojibwe Language Classes or contact Memegwesi David Sutherland at dsutherland@MAICNET.org.

Gordon, Defoe, Bainbridge Represent at Midwest Alliance of Sovereign Tribes Meeting
Red Cliff Vice-Chairman Nathan Gordon, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Marvin Defoe, and Tribal Council member Bryan Bainbridge attended the Midwest Alliance of Sovereign Tribes (MAST) meeting at Oneida Nation in Green Bay last week.

MAST serves to advance, protect, preserve, and enhance the mutual interests, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultural way of life of the sovereign nations of the Midwest.

MAST was founded in 1996 and represents the 35 sovereign tribal nations of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan. Altogether, MAST represents nearly 134,000 American Indian people. The organization coordinates important public policy issues and initiatives at the state, regional and federal levels, promotes unity and cooperation among member tribes and advocates for member tribes.


Current MAST issues and activities include: 
  • Protecting Indian economic opportunity
  • Protecting Tribal sovereignty and self- government.
  • Protecting the rights of individual Indians and member tribes pursuant to treaties with the United States.
  • Protecting Indian lands, including the rights to place lands into trust, and protecting tribal environmental authorities.
  • Improving education for Indian children and adults, both on and off the reservation.
  • Improving the health and well-being of Indian people in the Midwest.
  • Protecting the cultural and religious resources and rights of all Indian people.
  • Improving reservation infrastructure, including the provision of safe and affordable homes, clean water, sound utilities and good roads.

Chi-Miigwech for serving Indian Country!
Defoe named one of Wisconsin's most influential Native American leaders
Shortly after Red Cliff Vice Chairman Nathan Gordon was named to this year's Madison365 list of most influential Native American leaders, Red Cliff elder and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Marvin Defoe was also named to the list!

Marvin is an educator, teacher, birch bark canoe builder, and Red Cliff elder. He grew up in the Red Cliff community and is part of the sturgeon clan. Named Shingway Banase in Anishinaabe, he is passionate about maintenance and revitalization of the Ojibwe language. Marvin has served as Vice Chair and At-Large member on the tribal council and has been the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for four years.

Miigwech Marvin for all of your work on behalf of Indian Country!

Speak with your doctor about Colorectal Cancer
National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that early detection is key to treating colorectal cancers. The month-long observance shines a spotlight on risk factors, research, and aims to raise awareness.

While early detection and treatments make a difference, there is more that can be done. Knowing the causes and risk factors helps prevent colorectal cancer.

Risk Factors We Control
  • Diet – Studies show that diets rich in red and processed meats may contribute to colorectal cancer risks. Also, how we prepare our proteins may increase our risk, too. Grilling, frying, and high-temperature cooking release chemicals that may contribute to colorectal cancer risks. Diets full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains reduce our risk of colon cancer as well as other health risks.
  • Exercise – Sedentary lifestyles and obesity are two more risk factors for colorectal cancer. Once again, physical activity helps to reduce our risk factors for another disease.
  • Smoking and heavy alcohol use – Quit the one and limit the other. Ask your physician if you need help with either one.
  • Family history – While you can’t control this, you can know it. Report it to your primary care physician so if your family history shows an increased risk for you, she can decide if you need early screening. Knowledge is power.

Take action during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Speak with your doctor about your risk factors and collect your family history. Visit www.cancer.org to learn more about risk factors, early detection, and treatment.

Harm Reduction - Keep our Community "SAFE"
Saving lives from HIV and Hepatitis C requires aggressive strategies to reach people at high risk. The purpose of the Red Cliff SAFE Program is to help reduce harm from risky behaviors.

The SAFE Program is operated out of the Red Cliff Community Health Center. This program is available to all members of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa as well as surrounding communities. Individuals can access clean syringes, sharps containers, sterile water, antibiotic cream, alcohol wipes, and condoms. By improving access to these materials, we help people who inject heroin, meth, and other drugs to reduce their risk of contracting HIV and Hepatitis C.

In addition, the Red Cliff Community Health Center now offers Narcan. Narcan is for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. When you come in for our needle exchange, you can request a dose(s) of Narcan at no charge to you.

If you or a loved one are at risk for HIV or Hepatitis C, we will never judge you or your behaviors. You can access the services by simply stopping at the health center reception and asking for the SAFE Program. The services are provided within the health center setting and are completely confidential.

The goal is to expand sites within the next year. The current services are available Monday – Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm except holidays. You can get more information by calling (715) 779-3707.
NARCAN Training Available
Have you been trained and are looking to get a refresher or are you looking to get trained in the use of NARCAN?

It only takes 30 minutes to learn how to save someone from an overdose.

Do you own a business in Red Cliff and want to get trained? A training for you and your employees can be arranged.

If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Justin Hansen at the Noojimo’iwewin Center at 715-779-3707 ext. 2397 or jhansen@redcliffhealth.org

Nutrition Education: Reading Labels
Reading labels can help you make informed food choices. Packaged foods and drinks—the types that come in cans, boxes, bottles, jars, and bags—have a lot of nutrition and food safety information on their labels or packaging. Look for these things on the food label.
 
Product Dates
You might see one of three types of product dates on some foods you buy:
· “Sell by” tells how long the manufacturer suggests that a store should sell foods like meat, poultry, eggs, or milk products—buy it before this date.
· “Use by” tells how long the food will be at peak quality—if you buy or use it after that date, some foods might be stale or less tasty.
· “Best if used by” (or “best if used before”) tells how long the food has the best flavor or quality—it does not suggest a date by which the food should be purchased.
Product dates are not safety dates and are not required by federal regulations (except on infant formula). They are added voluntarily by manufacturers.
 
Ingredient List
This tells you each ingredient in the food product by its common or usual name. Did you know that the ingredients are listed in descending order by weight? That is, the ingredient that weighs the most is listed first, and the ingredient that weighs the least is listed last.
 
Nutrition Facts Label
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a Nutrition Facts label on most packaged foods and beverages. At the top of the Nutrition Facts label, you will find the total number of servings in the container and the food or drink’s serving size. The serving size on the label is based on the amount of food that people typically eat at one time and is not a recommendation of how much to eat.
 
Daily Value
Percent Daily Value (DV) is a reference amount of a nutrient to consume or not to exceed each day. The percent Daily Value (%DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of the food contributes to a total daily diet. Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet, so if you are eating fewer calories and eat a serving of this food, your %DV will be higher than what you see on the label. Some nutrients on the Nutrition Facts label do not have a %DV, so use the number of grams to compare and choose products.

Most Americans exceed the recommended limits for saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. Compare and choose foods to get less than 100% DV of these nutrients each day.

Many Americans also do not get the recommended amounts of dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium. Eating enough foods that contain these nutrients can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular diseaseosteoporosis, and high blood pressure. Compare and choose foods to aim for 100% DV of these nutrients.

Funding Extended Through September for Emergency Rental Assistance Program
Last week, the U.S. Treasury notified the Red Cliff Emergency Rental Assistance Program that our request for additional funds will be granted.  This will allow the Tribe to fully fund the program through the original eligibility end dates for all currently participating households.
 
On February 14th, 2022, the program announced that ERA payments would end May 31, 2022. This is no longer the case. ERA will now cover June through September for eligible households.
 
ERA can pay for qualifying households to receive a maximum of 12 months assistance, and 3 months of continuing assistance if applied for. We cannot extend any household's eligibility window beyond 15 months, and no assistance can be provided after September 30, 2022.

NAIHC Launches Housing Assistance Resource Hub for Native Homeowners
Website lists tribal and state mortgage, utilities and rental assistance services
The National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC), in partnership with Wells Fargo, launched a Tribal Housing Assistance Resource Hub that lists mortgage, utilities and rental assistance services offered by state and tribal programs through the federal Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) and the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). The website is designed to be a tool for American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian homeowners, individuals and families to find a variety of tribal housing services offered on and off tribal lands. 

“It’s important for our indigenous people and families to have access to programs that can help make life a little easier during an already challenging time, and the National American Indian Housing Council’s Tribal Housing Assistance Resource Hub offers a centralized location to find tribal housing services,” said Adrian Stevens, NAIHC board chair and executive director of Seneca Housing Authority. “With funding from HAF and ERAP programs, tribes are continuing or expanding their housing assistance services to tribal members living on and off tribal land. For families across Indian Country adjusting to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, these emergency housing assistance programs can be vital to keeping a roof over their heads.”

Congress established the HAF and ERAP in response to the pandemic to help states and tribes alleviate the impacts of COVID-19. The HAF provides a minimum of $50 million for each state and $498 million collectively for tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands. At the Resource Hub website, visitors can scroll over a map and click on a state to find a listing of state and tribal HAF and ERAP services as well as all housing services offered by tribal housing programs in that state, such as home loan assistance, homebuyer education, elder and veteran housing and other services.
 
“NAIHC appreciates our partner, Wells Fargo, for supporting housing assistance programs and offering platforms to share information, resources and opportunities for homeowners across tribal communities,” said Chair Stevens.
 
Over the past three years, NAIHC, with assistance from Wells Fargo Foundation, has awarded nearly 40 tribes with additional funding to provide maintenance needs for senior-owned homes and offer additional resources to address the impacts of COVID-19. Also, with help from Wells Fargo, NAIHC moved its Leadership Institute training program designed for tribal housing professionals to an online platform while continuing to provide needed technical assistance directly to tribal housing programs. The Housing Assistance Resource Hub is another project that strengthens the collaboration between NAIHC and Wells Fargo.

“Wells Fargo is proud to support the great work of NAIHC in addressing the critical housing challenges facing American Indian, Alaskan Natives and Native Hawaiians over the last several years -- especially in advancing NAIHC’s work in keeping people housed and supporting tribal members in accessing the critical homeowner and rental assistance that is available,” said Eileen Fitzgerald, head of Wells Fargo housing affordability philanthropy.
