Elders Summit: Anishaa (Just for Fun)

RED LAKE’S FIRST ELDERS SUMMIT

Anishaa (Just for Fun) Tops Agenda

More than 330 Elders attended what Red Lake hopes will be it’s first annual Elders Summit at Seven Clans Casino - Red Lake - on Thursday and Friday March 31 and April 1, 2011. Much of the agenda for the Summit was just good fun.

Upon entering the complex, one would see several informational booths describing Tribal Programs and businesses scattered around the edge of the Hotel lobby. Many programs provided give-a-ways.

A mixing of youth and elders made for much of the fun of the event. Young volunteers from the High School Youth Council, high school girls and boys basketball players, and AmeriCorps performed needed tasks during the event, including serving the elders during lunch and supper times.

“This is one of the things we were looking for in the Elders Conference”, said organizer Thelma May, “we wanted to have youth and elders mixing together, learning together, having fun together and enjoying each other”.

Drawings were held throughout the event for door prizes, most of small value, so that nearly everyone won something. The first 300 registrants received a T-shirts with a colorful logo “Honoring Our Elders" written in Ojibwe on the front and in English on the back. All also received tote bags with some give-a-ways inside with the same colorful logo “Ezhi-apiitenimindwaa Gigichi-aya'aaminaanig” (Honoring Our Elders) written in Ojibwe.

Opening
The event began with registration on Thursday morning. At 9 AM Spiritual Elder Eugene Stillday offered the invocation, followed by drum songs by the Red Lake Singers, and then a welcome by Red Lake Tribal Chairman Floyd Jourdain, Jr.

At 10:30 AM, Red Lake Nation Royalty, dressed in full regalia, took their turns providing a dance exhibition. Johnny Smith was the emcee, and shared knowledge of the various dances exhibited. Much to the delight of all present, many of the young people introduced themselves to the elders speaking Ojibwe, some fluently, a testament to the revitalization of culture and language that has been going on at Red Lake and in Indian Country.

Following a fun session called “Test Your Knowledge” conducted by Devery Fairbanks , young people then kicked into gear, and with a plate in each hand gathered soup, sandwich, fruit, and beverage and delivered lunch to their sitting elders.

At 1:30 Diane Schwanz of Project Preserve took the stage to present a video production entitled “Indian Humor Three”, that included several running humorous skits. Schwanz was joined on stage with three of the young actors who appear in the production.

The young actors included Kelly Iceman who played Chef Comod Bod Jr. who was trying to lose weight. Shinese Rosebear played the USDA Princess, the Chef’s weight loss coach, and Keisha Shoboyea played a woman cop.

Schwanz herself played a non-Indian (appropriately typecast) selling produce on the reservation who was arrested by “Red Cloud” from Pine Ridge. Schwanz protested that she had a “license to sell” issued by the Tribal Council. Other players included the high school’s principal and librarian who answered questions to determine who would be adopted into the tribe in this year’s “Wannabee” contest. Patrick Desjarlait was the host. It was delightful, creative, and humorous.

Schwanz spoke a little bit about the the series of Project Preserve video productions. Eight DVD’s have been produced in all, beginning with the basketball classic “Undefeated”. * (See story in next post about this game)

Following the entertaining video, Darren Defoe, Lee Lussier, and Wesley Jourdain provided a hand drum demonstration enjoyed by all at about 2:30 PM.

From 3:00 to 6:00 PM open activities were scheduled that included manicures, scalp massages, limo rides, and a wandering magician. Supper was served around 5:00 PM.

Moccasin Joe

At 6:00 PM, entertainment was provided Moccasin Joe (Comedian and Motivational Speaker). Moccasin Joe (aka Leonard Dick) is from Northern Ontario and of Ojibwe, French and Scottish heritage. A former correctional officer, he developed the fictional stereotypical Indian character Moccasin Joe as a comedy act and a workshop entitled “Healing Through the Spirit of Humor and Laughter”. He also does a few magic tricks, and by his own admission “is always trying to impress the ladies”.

The evening closed with what was billed as “the Late Night Session”, which included both a Black Jack Tournament, and Cribbage Tournament.

Cecilia Fire Thunder

Keynote Speech: Cecilia Fire Thunder
On Friday, the day began with registration again. At about 9:30 a large audience anticipated words from the “Keynote Speaker” of the conference, Cecilia Fire Thunder. Cecilia was a favorite among many of the women...and men in the audience. She used humor in her speech about some very serious issues.

Fire Thunder was born October 24, 1946, in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. She has worked as a nurse, and served as tribal president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.

Spiritual Elder Eugene Stillday visits with Cecilia Fire Thunder

She was elected as the first female leader of the Oglala Sioux on November 2, 2004. She has been active in efforts to recover and revive use of the Lakota language, which she speaks fluently. She was one of the original founders of the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS). She formerly worked for Cangleska, Inc., a domestic violence shelter.

President Fire Thunder was and is a determined woman. She received wide public attention in March 2006 for her declaration of intent to create a Planned Parenthood clinic on her own land. She focused on the need to address rape as an issue for South Dakota women, particularly Native American women. One in six American women has been the victim of rape or attempted rape, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. The average annual rate of rape and sexual assault among American Indians is three and a half times higher than the national average.

Red Lake "Braves"

“We're missing out on teaching our boys and men about what they need to do to avoid pregnancies”, said Fire Thunder. “We need to start talking about those issues. Americans should be outraged about the number of women who are raped in this country. We need to also speak out for women in places like Afghanistan and other war-torn areas where rape is happening. This is not new. Rape has always been a part of life. Unfortunately, the world is not always a safe place for women”, she said.

“Women in America have something that women in other parts of the world don't have. Women in this country don't appreciate their right to free speech. Women in America can be the voice of women around the world. This is a call to arms by women in the United States”, Fire Thunder declared.

Fire Thunder closed her keynote speech with a bit of wry humor. She said she would consider running for the State Legislature in SD. Remembering the last presidential election with the blonde smiling “trophy” wives behind their white men, Fire Thunder said she would find a trophy husband about 6 ft. 7 in. tall, with long hair, a flat belly where you could see his belt buckle, long curly hair, and a single earring to stand behind her and smile sweetly...and he'd be White, she said. "I've got an earring and curly hair", I volunteered.

Closing
Things then loosened up a bit with a “Talent/Variety Show” closing out the morning and the conference. Judy Roy, Anna Gibbs, Royce Graves, Elizabeth “Pug” Kingbird, Bill Butcher and Johnny Smith vied for first, second and third place prizes determined by the applause of the audience.

Royce Graves is a champion Grass Dancer

Smith, much to the amusement of all, did a song he wrote than included a verse about tribal secretary Donald Cook. Kingbird told a story of three little pigs in Ojibwe, and although not understood by all, brought chuckles from those who were “fluent listeners”.

Johnny Smith

Lunch and a traveling song closed out the first annual Elders Conference.

Afterword: Gichi-aya’a and Mindimooye 
Why an Elders Conference? Why do Indians refer to “Senior Citizens” as Elders? Why does there seem to be so much more respect for “Elders” among American Indians than among other parts of “American Society”? These are questions this reporter has heard from non-Indians again and again, and questions that concern me more and more the older I get.

Youth volunteers fill lunch plates, one in each hand, and deliver to elders at their tables

And so I approached an elder and fluent Ojibwe speaker, Eugene Stillday for the answer. Stillday replied that “respect for elders is contained within the language”. He told me the word for “Elder” in Ojibwemowin (Ojibwe language) is gichi-aya'a which literally means “great being” and mindimooye is a word for female elder or family matriarch that literally means “one who holds things together”.

“When the literal meanings of “elder” is defined in such a respectful manner, (unlike English or many other non-native tongues) then, children are going to learn to respect elders at a very young age as they learn to talk,”, said Stillday.  “This is just one of many reasons the revitalization of culture and language is so important not only for American Indians, but America in general”.

Listen up America!

How it Began: The Story of Bi-Lingual Signage in Bemidji (June 2009)

Bemidji State University produced posters with common Ojibwe words and phrases suitable for the North Woods

I have been wanting to tell a story about a project I've been working on. What follows is a press release I wrote when it first started and how it came to pass. 

Today, what started out as a goal of 20 business sites that would post bilingual (Ojibwe/English) signage, has grown to over 120 sites. This includes much permanent signage with Bemidji State University, Bemidji State Park, North Country Health Services, the City of Bemidji and many others lending credibility to the effort. 

Noemi Aylesworth is interviewed by a Duluth TV station, the story wound up on the NBC Morning News

The project has caught the eye of not only the local press, but state and national press as well. Duluth television did a story that wound up on the NBC Morning News, the Associated Press picked up the story at one point, as did the Minnesota News Network a feed for state-wide radio. 

Most recently, the national magazine Indian Country Today featured the effort as it's cover story in the April 6th 2011 issue. I'll post that story within the next month. 

The Headwaters Science Center is "Closed" as seen through a dinosaur rib.

I am excited at the prospect of the exposure that Indian Country Today Media Network will lend to the credibility of the project. I believe it will help it to succeed. In fact I dare dream that the story may help to promote this type of thing across country. 

The more people across the country who see this article on-line and in the magazine, the greater the chance that other communities may be willing to try a similar thing. I can’t help but dreaming big, to see Indian culture play a greater role in American culture.  (I have received a few inquires from places in the US and Canada)  Why not Hopi/English in Arizona?  Or Choctaw/English in Mississippi? Dakota in Dakota?

The Boys and Girls Club of Bemidji took advantage of my offer to buy the first twenty restroom signs. Here, myself, Boys & Girls Club Directory Lenore Potter, and signage committee co-chair Rachelle Houle pose in front of the new Girls restroom sign.

This Spring and Summer, we (my co-committee member partner Rachelle Houle and I) will work to really make the idea stick. We will encourage more permanent signage, and take photos of that signage. We will seek partners to help us solicit organizations conspicuous in their absence such as Beltrami County, the Airport, Visitors Bureau, and the Chamber of Commerce. We want to see Bemidji's Ojibwe Language Project promoted outside the First City on the Mississippi to the same degree as Paul and Babe.

Here's the back story: 

Cabin Coffeehouse adds Ojibwe/English Signage 

The Cabin Coffeehouse and Café has recently added the Ojibwe greetings “aaniin” and “boozhoo” in addition to the English “welcome” on the front door of it’s business in downtown Bemidji.

According to owner Noemi Aylesworth, the idea came when a member of the group Shared Vision, Michael Meuers, visited with her daughter April several weeks ago. Meuers wanted to know what the owners thought about adding the words for “Men” and “Women” in Ojibwe to their rest room doors, or a welcome or thank you on the front door. “I pondered that idea for awhile,” said Aylesworth, “and then I was watching ‘We Shall Remain’, (a five-part program about American Indian history on PBS) and it was like a wake-up call” she said. “Why aren’t there more Ojibwe words in the community? They were here first!” It was then that Ayleswoth had a friend paint the greetings Aaniin, Boozhoo, and Welcome on the front door.

Meuers gave Aylesworth a sheet on which several Ojibwe words were printed in case she wanted to add more signage. Aylesworth immediately had the idea to put those word sheets in “table tents” as a fun way to educate her customers a bit more about the area’s first residents. She also intends to add the Ojibwe words for Men and Women (Ininiwag and Ikwewag respectively) on restroom doors.

Permanent Signage at Bemidji State University

According to Meuers, other Bemidji businesses who have committed to adding Ojibwe/English signage thus far include; Ken and Kari Howe of Dunn Bros. Coffee, Sandy Jo Pilgrim of SJ & Co. Hair Salon, and the Boys and Girls Club of Bemidji. “I hope to encourage the Chamber of Commerce, it’s members, and others to embrace this idea as well, a recognition if you, will that we live in Indian Country”, said Meuers.

  

The Shared Vision Initiative
Shared Vision was created with the support of Bemidji Area Race Relations Council, the Leech Lake, Red Lake and White Earth Nations, Bemidji Leads, City of Bemidji, Beltrami County, ISD #31, BSU, Blandin, Chamber of Commerce, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, the Nielson Foundation, and others. It is staffed by Cliff Tweedale of the Headwaters Regional Development Commission (HRDC).

These supporters began by forming a partnership, developed a survey, created a Mission, Vision, and branding logo for this effort, contracted with Wilder Research to conduct a study, and completed the Bemidji Area Study on Race Relations.

Mission 
Be a catalyst that encourages the Bemidji community to work together to expand social, economic, educational and leadership opportunity for people of all races.

Vision 
The Bemidji community will be a model for race relations in our state. We will embrace cultural understanding and respect between the Indian and non-Indian community, and promote strong participation of Indian people in every aspect of Bemidji community life. Bemidji will be known as a community that works together to expand opportunities for people of all races.

In order to achieve the “vision”, the group broke into four area/groups to work under the banner of Community Success through Working Together. The four areas identified are: Economic Opportunities; Civic Participation and Leadership; Educational Attainment and Skill Development; and Cultural Understanding and Respect.

One of the ideas to come out of the signage committee (Meuers & Houle along with Aylesworth & Treuer) and passed to others, was a forum entitled "Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians but Were Afraid to Ask". Shown is Dr. Anton Treuer, Professor of Ojibwe at BSU and Dr. Don Day, Director of the American Indian Resource Center.

The “Cultural Understanding and Respect” group’s hope is that within several years, cultural literacy about Native American culture will have increased in the Bemidji community for all races and discrimination will have decreased in all aspects of community life.

One of the several initiatives identified by the Cultural Understanding and Respect group to achieve the “Vision” was defined: “Within a year twenty institutions in Bemidji will have Ojibwe and English signs at their business”. Meuers is spearheading this initiative and has offered to pay for the first twenty signs up to a certain dollar amount.

Dunn Bros. Coffee was the second business to commit to bilingual signage.  Below welcome on the far door is the Ojibwe word for "Come In".

The Idea/Concept 
Meuers, a member of the Cultural Understanding group and a public relations person for the Red Lake Band of Chippewa, came up with the idea of Ojibwe/English signage in the community. “Some of the ideas the group was coming up with seemed rather daunting to me”, said Meuers. “I was trying to think of something simple, but meaningful, and able to be put into action quickly to show that Shared Vision, just might be different”.

“It is my experience that Indian people are a bit skeptical when it comes to ideas of working together for a better community” said Meuers, “and lets face it, Indians have a history of experiencing good intentions not quite lived up to.”

Greg Gasman of Harmony Natural Foods Coop has posted food in the store in both Ojibwe and English.

“Although Tribal Governments will support efforts such as Shared Vision”, he said, “it is my view that many tribal members feel they’ve heard it before and have a wait and see attitude. Not all, but some of our American Indian neighbors have gotten to a point where they just shrug these kind of things off, thinking it is more of the same”.

Keeping all this in mind, Meuers said that his mind wandered back to that terrible day, March 21, 2005, the day of the Red Lake tragedy. “I was visiting with former Bemidji City Manager David Minke and discussing the horrible events at Red Lake”, he said. As they were talking, Meuers noticed a Red Lake flag that Minke had been given as a gift. “I suggested that the city fly the Red Lake banner to express our deep sympathy for our brothers and sisters at Red Lake”, said Meuers. Minke loved the idea, and had the flag flown at half mast for a week.

“I heard more positive comments from Red Lake members about that simple symbolic gesture of respect than any other single act before or since. It was a symbol of camaraderie, that we shared their tears for their babies. Symbolism is profound in it's simplicity”, he said.

In addition, Meuers said he was told by his brother, who had recently visited Ireland, that many signs are now printed in Gaelic as well as English, an initiative to revitalize the native tongue after years of English domination. He thought “why not celebrate the diversity that is Bemidji with Ojibwe/English signage”.

“I felt that this idea could have a three-fold effect”, Meuers said.  “It could be interpreted as a huge symbol of friendship and respect to Indian people, it might help the non-Indian learn something about the area’s first residents, and tourists would just eat it up. Hopefully the idea then would snow-ball,” he said.

Polly Scotland gave her husband, a Dentist, this sign for his birthday.

"Our hope is that Bemidji will become well known for its dual-language signs. We want "boozhoo" to be synonymous with Bemidji in the same way "aloha" is with Hawaii", Meuers concluded.

Although it would be a more expensive project, Meuers also suggested that in addition to flying the U.S and Canadian flags, that the County, Sanford Center, and the Bemidji Chamber Tourist Information Center, fly the flags of it’s three Indian Nation neighbors.

Prescription Drugs Takes Center Stage at Annual Drug/Gang Summit

FIFTH ANNUAL DRUG/GANG SUMMIT HELD

The fifth annual Red Lake Drug and Gang Summit was held at the Red Lake Seven Clans Casino Event Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday February 15 to 17, 2011 from 8 am to 4 pm.

The Red Lake Singers Drum

The 2011 Summit, the theme of which was entitled “Leading the Way”, was attended by more than 300 registrants. Daytime activities included workshops, break out sessions, and presentations on street drugs, prescription drugs, public safety, Living a Positive Lifestyle, education, gang identification/intervention, and traditional teachings. As is customary in Indian Country, lunch was served each day, along with door prizes and much more.

Chemical Health Director Tom Barrett visits with Trason Cloud

Tom Barrett, executive director of Red Lake Chemical Health Programs, was the master of ceremonies. In his opening remarks, Barrett commented on Red Lake’s collaboration with Leech Lake and White Earth Reservations on Education, Economic Development and other areas. "Chemical Health is no exception", he said, "and Red Lake has and will continue to work with Leech Lake and White Earth on health issues, which has resulted in a positive collaboration".

“We take clients from other reservations and we send them clients,” Barrett stated. “We help each other out. It’s all about helping people.”

Marilyn Mountain of Chemical Health makes a point.

Something new was introduced at the summit this year as Chemical Health continues investigations into better defining alcohol and drug problems and solutions on the reservation. A survey was passed out called the “Red Lake Epidemiological Outcome Workgroup Adult Community Survey”. The survey was an opportunity to obtain a collection of information from summit participants about their personal experiences with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Information obtained will help better serve the community.

SUMMIT AGENDA
Presentation Highlights
DAY ONE
The summit kicked off with opening remarks and introductions by Tom Barrett. This was followed by an opening prayer by Spiritual Elder Larry Stillday, and a song by the Red Lake Singers. At about 9:30 AM, welcoming remarks were heard from Red Lake Chairman Floyd Jourdain, Jr. Included in his remarks was a statement that Jourdain would declare a “Public Health Emergency” on the Red Lake Indian Reservation regarding drug abuse and public health, and how to address that problem.

Red Lake Chairman Floyd Jourdain, Jr. declared a public health emergency.

Red Lake Chemical Health provided the first informational presentation. Director Barrett said when he first started his employment with Red Lake Chemical Health Programs, he saw mostly alcohol and marijuana dependency among drug users. “Then crack cocaine came storming in a few years back,” Barret said. “Now it’s prescription drugs.”

According to a national survey, taken in 2009 on drug use and health, from the US Department of Health and Human Services, over half of the non-medical users of prescription-type drugs aged 12 or older received the drugs “from a friend or relative for free.” The majority of these respondents also admitted a friend or relative had obtained the drugs from a doctor.

Colin “Kelly” Brunelle, criminal investigator at Red Lake then took the podium with “Statistics from Public Safety”. He said law enforcement alone cannot stop the drug abuse problem. “We’ve had some deaths on the reservation because of prescription drug abuse,” he said. Prescription medication abuse involves the non-medical use of any prescription-type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants or sedatives. “We are not alone”, said Brunelle, “all of Indian Country has a prescription drug use problem.”

Brunelle said people assume taking doctor-prescribed medication that is not their own often do not consider their actions as dangerous. “We need to sit down as a community with our law enforcement, our pharmacy and hospital and try and work out a plan,” Brunelle said. “It’s not going to get any better unless we do something now. It is not possible for law enforcement to do this alone.”

Collette Nedeau

When asked how the Chairman’s declared “state of emergency” will affect law enforcement on the reservation, Brunelle said the pharmacy and hospital will now be “forced” to work with law enforcement and come up with a plan to overcome this problem. “One has to also realize the hospital and the pharmacy are a source of the problem. It’s not the only source, but it plays a major role,” Brunelle said.

Cardwell C. Nuckles, next gave a very interesting talk that captured the full attention of the audience. The title of the presentation was “The Addictive Brain”, or how drugs affect the brain. Nuckles is an internationally recognized expert in such areas as behavioral medicine and addictions treatment. His background is in advanced work in medical research, pharmacology, education and psychology.

Mylo Smith as Motivational Speaker

Mylo Smith, a motivational speaker, topped off the day with a presentation on “Living a Positive Lifestyle”. Smith also provided the evening entertainment on Tuesday. Smith is not only a motivational speaker, but an entertainer and stand-up comic with a message about positive life styles and wellness.

Day 2
Rick Moldenhauer started off day two after and opening prayer, with a presentation entitled, “Not What the Doctor Ordered - Alcohol, Opiates and Other Drugs in Minnesota”. Moldenhauer is a treatment services consultant at the Alcohol and Drug abuse Division of the Department of Human Services.

Brent Gish and Dan King Red Lake Schools Superintendent and President of Red Lake Nation College respectively, were next up with a session on “The Importance of Education”.

Evelyn McKenzie and Arlys Stillday discuss the day's happenings

Gary Russell, Program Director at Evergreen Shelter in Bemidji made the last presentation of the day. Evergreen Shelter serves youth 9-17 who are in crisis, homeless or runaways. Russell initiated and facilitated the Bemidji based Multi-County Gang Task Force for four years. The majority of his education on gangs and the gang lifestyle have come directly from gang affiliated youth. Russell did two Sessions separated by a fifteen minute break entitled, “Gang Identification” and “Gang Intervention”.

Day 3
A session on “Traditional Teachings” followed an opening prayer and drum song on the morning of Day Three. This session was followed by a “closing break out session” to evaluate the summit’s activities, brainstorm ideas to champion, and then how to apply those ideas in the reservation’s communities.

Participants met in small groups of four to six to tackle various aspects discussed during the two days of presentations. Traditional teachings were considered quite important to achieve these goals.

During report times, the groups came up with several action items. They included but were not limited to: getting all applicable tribal programs to join with public safety in the fight; more kids need to attend these programs and the drug/gang conference; all at the summit should bring someone new to the event next year; consistent communications are needed between various programs; these ideas need to be applied in the communities, schools, PTO; there needs to be more community involvement with the schools and to provide cultural education; special speakers need to come into the schools, e.g. ex-gang members or ex-drug users; and removing graffiti immediately are just a small number of the ideas expressed.

Elders & kids all enjoy the dance

ROUND DANCE SOCIAL
Wednesday at 6 PM featured a Round Dance Social, featuring hand drumming and singing in the Cree and Ojibwe style.


Perhaps twenty drummers and singers made a circle around several tables in the center of the event center, taking turns with songs. Many watched, listened and danced.

MISSION AND GOAL OF THE DRUG/GANG SUMMIT 

The mission of the Red Lake Drug and Gang Summit is to educate and mobilize tribal agencies, professionals, schools and community members in a variety of efforts opposed to illegal drugs on the Red Lake Reservation. The goal of the summit is to produce committees that will advise communities on how to effectively address issues of crime, drugs and violence while working closely with district representatives and the Red Lake Tribal Council.

Traveling Song

The impetus for the event began at a special Tribal Council meeting in September 2006. At that time it was announced that the Tribal Chairman was calling for a summit on Methamphetamine/crack cocaine to be held. The Indian & Free Drug Program, Project Safe Neighborhoods and the Red Lake Nation Coalition (White Bison) now the Seven Clans Wellbriety Coalition was instructed to head the summit.
