Health Advisory: Avoid Private and Public Gatherings |
|
Effective Immediately – Red Cliff Health is issuing an Emergency Advisory strongly discouraging any non-essential events or gatherings.
The Red Cliff community is currently experiencing a high level of community spread of COVID-19. There are at least 82 active cases of COVID-19, and testing is ongoing. Red Cliff’s COVID Response Team, Tribal Council, and Bayfield School are asking the community to help. Avoid gathering and limit your activity outside of the home. We must work together.
The COVID-19 pandemic is now overwhelming hospitals across our region, Wisconsin, and neighboring states. Medical staff in the hardest hit communities are begging people to get vaccinated, wear masks in public, and stay home if you are not feeling well. Limiting the spread is not just about your own health – it directly impacts our health care workers and their ability to provide care for both COVID patients and non-COVID patients.
Contact tracing of positive cases reveal infection is being spread in numerous social settings, including public and private gatherings.
Remember your COVID-19 prevention strategies:
- Get vaccinated – everyone over the age of 5 is eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
- Wear a well-fitting mask when in public regardless of vaccination status. Red Cliff Health has KN95 masks available if you do not already have one.
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Maintain at least 6 feet from non-household members.
- Avoid staying overnight at anyone else’s home.
- Avoid eating or drinking indoors anywhere other than your own home. Still want to support your favorite restaurant? Try ordering takeout and use curbside delivery for shopping when possible.
Masks are still required in all tribal buildings, including Legendary Waters and Buffalo Bay Gas Station. Subtle symptoms of the Omicron variant can include a scratchy throat or mild congestion. If you recognize any symptoms, please stay home and get tested.
You can call 715-779-3707 to get tested and/or to set up an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine. You can also contact the Bayfield County Health Department for vaccinations at 715-373-3312.
Please continue to do your part in protecting our community.
Questions can be directed to the Red Cliff Community Health Center at 715-779-3707.

RCPD Welcomes Tribal Member John Gary as Department Manager |
|
My name is John Gary, I am a Red Cliff tribal member, and I have been hired as the Department Manager for the Police Department. As Department manager I will be assisting the Police Chief with administrative duties and assisting with grants. I retired from the Bayfield County Sheriff's Office last November after 21 years. I spent most of my time with Sheriff’s Office serving as the court security officer in the Bayfield County Courthouse. I am excited to get back to work after a brief two-month retirement from Bayfield County and I hope to work another 10 years before my final retirement.
My wife Bonni and I live in Cornucopia and enjoy being active outdoors hiking, biking and snow shoeing. We also enjoy spending time along the shores of Lake Superior in the summer whether we are kayaking or just sitting on a beach. I have one daughter, one stepson, one stepdaughter and one granddaughter.

Carbon Monoxide Reminder:
Check Your Batteries!
|
|
As the colder weather approaches – remember to check the batteries in your carbon monoxide (CO) detector. If you don’t have a battery-powered or battery back-up CO alarm, now is a great time to buy one. More than 400 people die each year in the United States from unintentional, non-fire related CO poisoning.
CO is found in fumes produced by furnaces, vehicles, generators, stoves, lanterns, gas ranges, or burning charcoal or wood. CO from these sources can build up in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces. People and animals in these spaces can be poisoned and can die from breathing CO. When power outages occur during emergencies such as severe winter storms, the use of alternative sources of power for heating or cooking can cause CO to build up in a home, garage, or camper and to poison the people and animals inside.
Stay safe!

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

Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month |
|
Warning Signs of Abuse
Dating abuse is a pattern of coercive, intimidating, or manipulative behaviors used to exert power and control over a partner. While we define dating violence as a pattern, that doesn’t mean the first instance of abuse isn’t also dating violence; we simply recognize that dating violence tends to involve a series of abusive behaviors over a course of time.
What to Look For & More
Relationships exist on a spectrum and it can sometimes be hard to tell when a behavior goes from healthy to unhealthy (or even abusive). Typical warning signs of abuse from your partner include:
Checking your phone, email, or social media accounts without your permission.
Putting you down frequently, especially in front of others.
Isolating you from friends or family (physically, financially, or emotionally).
Extreme jealousy or insecurity.
Explosive outbursts, temper, or mood swings.
Any form of physical harm.
Possessiveness or controlling behavior.
Pressuring you or forcing you to have sex.
Relationship abuse is all about power and control. While you may be unwilling or unable to leave your relationship right now, it’s important to remember that abusive partners are unlikely to change their behavior.
Your first priority should always be your personal safety and your safety in the future. Please call the Red Cliff Family Violence Prevention Program at 715-779-3706 to speak to an Advocate if you have concerns about your dating relationship or that of a close friend.

Welcome to our new Youth Engagement Specialist! |
|
Autumn Montano
Youth Engagement / Peer Specialist
Boys & Girls Club and Noojimo'iwewin Center
Autumn Montano was born a Red Cliff tribal member and has lived on the reservation her whole life. She has multiple family ties to mental health advocates and recently became interested in the field herself. As a community member, she has witnessed the struggles with mental health and substance abuse issues with her community and family. She is particularly interested in helping the youth who do not have positive outlets in the area.
Autumn plans to help the youth navigate through hardships in healthy ways. She is currently beginning the process for training as a Certified Peer Specialist. As a quick learner she is eager to soak up as much knowledge as possible. She is a graduate of Bayfield High School (class of 2013), has spent the last few years as a single parent, and has experienced the financial, emotional, and social hardships this presents to women.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, painting, drawing, and going for walks. Autumn hopes once the weather warms up to start a community walking club because she believes this is good for our physical, emotional, and social health.

Native Report: Oneida Nation Veterans
|
|
Native veterans have served as protectors of our Nation since some of the earliest conflicts. Of those with a lasting legacy is the Oneida Nation whose tribal members have served in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War. We visited the Oneida Veterans Memorial and Veteran’s Department to learn more about how they’re honoring veterans and making sure our country’s protectors are financially protected.
The head of the Oneida Nation Veteran’s Department says it’s important to him to assist all veterans, and he emphasized he doesn’t turn away non-tribal veterans who are seeking his help.

Northland College Water Summit |
|
The Northland College Burke Center convened a Water Summit on Sept. 27, 2021 titled “Aversion to Diversion: Groundwater, Bottled Water, and the Great Lakes Compact.”
Burke Center Director Peter Annin moderated the panel discussion with Todd Ambs, deputy secretary of the Wisconsin DNR, and Ken Bradbury, director of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. More than 150 people attended.
The summit was prompted by a controversial proposal in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, to bottle and sell water from an artesian well. The summit focused on big-picture issues raised by the proposal, and provided more context and perspective about the region’s unique artesian groundwater resources.
The White Paper
This white paper is an outgrowth from that summit and puts the hydrogeology of the region’s artesian resources into a statewide context while making several specific policy recommendations
