Winter Storytelling Conference This year’s Winter Storytelling Conference was hosted by the Hannahville Indian Com-munity on February 1st and 2nd, 2013. For-est County Potawatomi and Prairie Band Potawatomi have also previously hosted the conference.

The conference started with an introduction from Projects Assistant, Jill Wabanimkee fol-lowed by a welcome from Tribal Vice-Chair-person, Elaine Meshigaud. Stories began im-mediately with a performance of the ThreeBears by the Hannahville Indian School 5th graders. The play was done mostly in the Potawatomi Language led by Elementary School Language Teacher Kyle Kovish.

Numerous stories were told throughout the two days, many of them humorous, but there were also several told of les-sons learned and family memories. We would like to thank the fluent speakers:Stewart King of Walpole Island First Nation, Jim Thunder of Forest Coun-ty Potawatomi and Jan Hubbard of Prairie Band Potawatomi, for sharing their stories with us.

Staff from the Prai-rie Band Potawatomi Language Depart-ment also shared a story Friday after-noon and then led a dice game using the language.

Over 150 people of all ages attended theconference. There were representatives from Kansas, Oklahoma, Canada, Wisconsin, and the lower Michigan Potawatomi Tribes.

Friday evening members of the Pokagon Band of Po-tawtomi held a “Battleship” styled language activity where the participants were broken into two groups and had to translate commands and various terms.

Saturday’s activities included a Snow Snake game led by staff from the Gun Lake Tribe of Potawatomi Lan-guage Department. The Community Center parking lot was used as the Snow Snake track. People watched from the sidelines as participants competed. The first game was broken into male, female, youth and elders for furthest distance. Colton Wahquahboshkuk from Prairie Band got the overall farthest with his snowsnake making it to Casino Lane from the Community Center doors. Winners from each category received a hat that had “Gun Lake Snow Snake” embroidered on it. Afterwards an even more competitive game called “Chuck the Buck” began. The object of the game was to try to get your Snow Snake’s tip as close to the first thrown Snow Snake’s tip as possible. Each throw costed $1.00. Although it was freezing cold outside participants tried for over an hour to beat out the closest for the win, but no one could come as close as 9 year old Char Sagataw of Han-nahville who won $127.00!

The conference ended Saturday evening with a mini round dance. The Department of Culture, Language and His-tory staff would like to thank everyone who attended. A special thanks to those who helped, organized, facilitated, cooked, sang, danced and shared stories. This event was a huge success and we hope to host it again someday.

• Survey information serves as a base for planning and resource development. Survey information has been used exclusively as a baseline guide for language program and project planning, as well as for resource development (project design and proposals). Two recent three-year ANA grants were designed based upon survey data from the 2004 Strategic Language Plan.

• Promote Potawatomi Language through Hannahville’s Newsletter. Hannahville’s Newsletter includes Potawa-tomi Language program and event information, promotes language learning through a language FUN page, and now features a language lesson page.

• Promote the preservation of the Potawatomi Language by using technology. Our language website and a new Potawatomi Face Book page are tailored to promote language learning through language lessons with the use of current technology. Our website www.potawatomilanguage.org has been online for seven years. Website content includes an online dictionary, audio, video, grammar lessons, story translations, online language courses, and nearly one-thousand interactive self-assessment language games. A new Potawatomi Language Face Book page is being launched, and language lesson mobile apps will be available this spring.

• Promote a shared Community responsibility of the preservation of the Potawatomi Language. With the increase of dedicated language department staff and consistent community participants in a three-year language grant, a passionate commitment to language revitalization has grown evident, which has been further promoted through-out the community – a very positive trend.

• Recruit adults and youth to become Potawatomi Language speakers and learners. During the last three years, there has been an increase in the number of adults who have firmly committed to language learning with the in-tent to become speakers (this includes five instructors and four community members). Youth and young adults have also become involved in the summer language immersion camps, with one young adult recently joining our culture and language staff at the school, instructing grades 4-8.

• Provide resources and support to teacher trainees and language learners at all levels of language acquisition. Language skills educational resources and language materials have been developed in multiple formats (web, audio, video, hard copy, etc.) for teacher trainees and language learners. To ensure quality training and learning materials, we established partnerships with the NMU School of Education, as well as with fluent speakers, a Po-tawatomi linguist and a Potawatomi grammar specialist.

• Ongoing activities to assure revitalization of the Language. Throughout the past two years, we have hosted eight intergenerational language events in the community (3 to 6 hours per event). These events have been well at-tended by community members of all age groups, with family participation. Participant feedback has consistently stated a strong desire that these events continue on an even more regular schedule than four per year. Shi-Shi-Be continues to be popular, with good attendance. While this event is hosted by the Culture committee, Language Department staff is still very much involved. Shi-Shi-Be vocabulary and audio files are posted to the Language Website.

Last month, an update on the 2005 Strategic Language Revitalization Plan (part 1) was provided as a brief overview, along with progress status. In this issue, Part 2 highlights how several strategic goals have been accomplished. Recall that the adopted plan represented the stated community language learning needs from a comprehensive community survey. The strategic plan outlined both short-term and long-term goals and objectives (1-5 years). A majority of the goals have been implemented and project objectives are ongoing. Objectives are italicized.

How Are We Doing? Part 2: Update on 2005 Strategic Language Revitalization Plan

Department of Culture, Language & History• Utilize the Resource Guide to plan, design and implement a Potawatomi Language Information Resource Center (LRC). The Potawatomi Language Lab and LRC (at the Heritage Center) was introduced to the community during a two day Open House in April 2009, when more than 200 community members attended. Access to the Lan-guage Resource Center is available to all community members, where they can access the multi-media language information from the computer stations. Language materials include Potawatomi coursework, grammar lessons, language audio, story videos, linguist’s information, and more.

• Utilize, maintain and expand the Potawatomi Language Web Site and electronic communication; state of the art electronic communication promotes conversations in Potawatomi. In the fall of 2009, we added Polycom Video Conferencing equipment to our LRC. With this enhanced communication opportunity, we have scheduled language learning sessions with fluent speakers, along with other Bands. NMU professors also provide teacher training via videoconference.

• Teach the Potawatomi Language within the School’s educational programs. Culture and language is firmly inte-grated into the school environment in grades K-12, preschool, FACE, early childhood and infant programs. At the start of the 2006/2007 school year, our department was granted expanded time periods for teaching Potawatomi Language exclusively – on a daily schedule. Previously, language was taught only during the “enrichment cycle” – which meant that students had minimal contact with the language with three weeks on, and nine weeks off. This was a giant step forward, which in turn meant real progress for our students to acquire the language in regularly scheduled daily lessons. – The recent three-year grant project for Language Instructor Skills Training (LIST) has also had a significant impact on student learning, with student language acquisition progress increasing in direct correlation to their instructor’s increased teaching skills through instructor skills training. – It should be noted that one of our language instructors was the recipient of the NTW Teacher of the Year Award (2011/2012). This was a first for our department.

• Design, implement and provide access to Immersion Programs. Summer Language Immersion Camps have been designed and offered for three one-week sessions each summer for the past three years. These events have been very well attended. We had originally predicted 15 people per session (from Hannahville). However, each immersion week had an average of 45 people or more in attendance, with participants representing several other Potawatomi Bands. Our own community participation exceeded our expectations.

These are just the highlights of accomplished objectives that are ongoing projects. For anyone who is interested, the full progress report is available from the Department of Culture, Language and History. - In the next newslet-ter issue, our language program update (part 3) will review a recent community language needs survey and what opportunities are currently available to meet those needs, as well as what objectives we still need to accomplish to meet community language learning needs.

As another election gets closer I would like to express my gratitude to you the Tribal membership that have elected me into this position for another three year term. This job has many, many challenges and at times is overwhelm-ing. It is a job that isn’t over at 4:00 p.m., it is a full time plus position but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. My passion in life was to become a social worker. When I was the ICW worker here it was a rewarding yet dif-ficult job and I am forever grateful that I have been able to still help people in so many ways. I again can say in confidence that I leave the history of the Tribal Council Meetings from 2010 to 2013 in accurate, orderly, and approved for every regular, special and closed meeting conducted during my term. I appreciate the position that I was so entrusted in three years ago, time flies you’re your working! Ha Ha no that isn’t how it goes but I am grateful that I was given the opportunities to learn, grow, teach and to leave my footprint for my children and grandchildren to see that I did my best. It is with sincere hope that I have led by example as a Tribal Council Member and wish everyone nothing but the best in your own lives. This is not my farewell letter as I do plan on seeking re-election for another term. When electing the Tribal Council please keep this in mind: you are building a team of 14 members to work together for the best interests of the Tribe. I again ask for your continued support in the upcoming election and would love to be a part of the continued growth of our community. I will continue to do my best at whatever the Creator has in store for me. With that, I leave you with this quote: One day at a time… this is enough. Do not look back & grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present & make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.Chi Migwetth, Tammy Meshigaud, Tribal Council Secretary

Water pollution is a concern that affects everybody on a daily basis. Water pollution can cause problems with: drinking water and the processes involved in treating water, spiritual activities, recreational activities and fish and wildlife.

These are just a few examples of activities that are impacted from polluted water, however there are many more.

How does water pollution occur? One way is as water from rainfall and snowmelt flows over and through the landscape, it picks up and carries contaminants from many different sources. This is called Non-Point Source Pollution. This polluted water ends up in water bodies, such as streams and lakes by flowing directly in or going through untreated storm drains. Water also carries pollutants into underground drinking water as it soaks into theground. Petroleum products, hazardous toxins, sediment and disease-causing agents can contaminate waterways and drinking water and can cause harm to people, animals and plants.

Where does water pollution come from? Automobiles, lawns and gardens, common household cleaners and chem-icals, agricultural operations, runoff water from buildings, streets and sidewalks, construction sites, and industrial operations are all some of the potential sources of non-point source water pollution.

What can be done? Although there are not easy answers to eliminating some sources of water pollution, there are some practices that you can put into place everyday that will help reduce the chance of polluting any water source.The following examples are practices that individuals can implement during their day to day activities:

• Automobiles - reduce use and car pool; monitor and repair any leaks; always take used oil, batteries, and other fluids to a recycling center; clean up any leaks or spilled fluids, do not allow them to run off into the ground or storm drains.

• Lawns & gardens - use only the recommended amount of fertilizers according to the application rate, or sub-stitute with natural products like compost; pick up and properly dispose of pet droppings; plant grass in exposed soil areas.

• Household cleaning products and chemicals - use environmentally safe products that don’t contain phosphorous or other toxic chemicals; only buy how much you need and don’t pour any unused products down the drain or toilet.

Radon Testing Available for Tribal ResidentsRadon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is responsible for approximately 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and it is estimated that over $2 billion is spent each year in the U.S. in both direct and indirect health care costs resulting from Radon related ill-nesses.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nearly 1 in 3 homes checked in seven states and on three Indian Reservations had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA’s recommended action level for radon exposure.

Radon enters homes and living areas through soil and bedrock. It can seep into basements and crawl-spaces and mixes into the ambient air in the upper levels of your living space. Affects from Radon occur over time. A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/L is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

Radon gas is colorless and odorless. The only way to know if you have radon in your home is to test for it. Pre-vious tests in homes and governmental buildings within the Hannahville Reservation have resulted in no levels at or above 4 pCi/L. Although test results in one home may have low levels of Radon, the home next door could have elevated levels.

EPA has designated every county in the U.S. as either a High, Moderate, or Low risk for Radon exposure. Delta County is classified as “Low”, however Menominee County is designated as “Moderate” and there have been many test results in other areas of the County that were at or above the 4 pCi/L threshold.

If your home has elevated levels of Radon, there are several ways to mitigate the problem. Sealing cracks in the floor and foundation of basements and crawl spaces prevents soil gases from entering. There are also specially designed sump pit fan covers that can vent soil gases from tiling under basements to the outside. Some of these solutions are relatively inexpensive, however homes with very high levels may require sub-slab depressurization which can be more expensive.

If you are interested in having your home tested for Radon, please contact Scott Wieting at the Hannahville Environmental Department at (906) 723-2295. One or several test kits will be placed in your home for 4-7 days. You need to keep your home closed up (keep windows closed, and doors closed except for entering and exiting). Radon testing will be available during the month of March and is free to all Reservation residents.

More information about Radon can be accessed at the following web-sites: www.epa.gov ; www.radon.comSource of Information: U.S. EPA; National Cancer Institute; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Air Chek, Inc.

Those interested in joining the campaign can sign up at FACE or call 906 723-2711... GED test-takers can find more information by visiting the Hannahville FACE Program.

The GED test contains five parts that can be taken separately, but must all be passed to receive a high school cre-dential. GED test-takers who have started the 2002 Series GED Test, but not finished and passed every section, have until the end of 2013 to do so. Otherwise, their scores will expire, and they will have to start over again with the new 2014 GED test.

CURRENT VERSION OF GED TEST TO EXPIRE AT END OF 2013 Millions who have started but not finished the test at risk of having to start over.

The Hannahville FACE Program would like to share the launch of GED Testing Service campaign; Your Future is calling, to alert test-takers who need to finish the GED test by the end of 2013. The current version of the test—the 2002 Series GED Test—will expire at the end of 2013, along with incomplete test scores. As part of Adult Education & Family Literacy, invites all who are interested in completing their GED to come see what the possibilities are with the FACE program. “More than a million adults have started but not finished the current GED test,” said Nicole Chestang, executive vice president of GED Testing Service. “As a nation, we cannot afford to let millions of working-aged adults miss this opportunity to complete and pass the GED test, opening doors to college, training, and better jobs.”

“There are resources available to GED test-takers in every state. Whether you need classes, online preparation, or just someone to help you get through the process, support is available through the Hannahville FACE Program. “If you know a GED test-taker, please encourage them to test before the 2013 deadline. Come visit the FACE Program. The new 4 GED test will be based on emerging national and state standards. It will offer dual performance levels where test-takers can earn the high school equivalency credential as well as an ad-ditional endorsement that indicates career- and college-readiness. The test will be delivered solely on computer and offered only in official testing centers.
