The Hannahville Indian Community Tribal Govern-ment is big. The scope of the Tribe’s activities are so broad that in a non-tribal environment it takes about 15 separate entities to accomplish the same objectives the Tribal Government accomplishes under one administra-tive umbrella. For instance, to deliver the same services that Hannahville delivers to its members, the residents of Escanaba must rely on the Public School District, In-termediate School District, Health Department, County Government, City Government, Water Authority, Waste-water Authority, DNR, Parks and Recreation, YMCA, Childcare providers, Community Action Agency, Eco-nomic Development Agency, Michigan Works, Chamber of Commerce, etc.; and Hannahville does this all (not to mention the casino, convenience store, and golf course).Because of the scope of the services under one umbrella, the Tribe is complex and voluminous. Per the 2011 audit reports, the governmental expenditures of the Hannah-ville Indian Community were about $24 million whereas the City of Escanaba had $12 million, Glad-stone had $ 4 million, and the City of Menominee had $ 8 million. That means the Tribe’s government is 6 times as big as Gladstone, 3 times that of Menominee, and 2 times as big as Escanaba. All of those functions under one entity require that the Tribal administration and staff have the capac-ity and commitment to juggle many issues and objectives at once, but it drives down the administrative overhead costs compared to the overall cost of service delivery. The Tribal Government is big, but its administration structure is efficient … and it’s good to be big yet efficient.

Tribal Economic Forum focuses on economic diversificationThe Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) hosted its third annual tribal-state economic forum in Lansing on May 17 and 18. The event was attended by about 85 people, including representatives from nine of Michigan’s 12 Indian tribes, as well as participants from other tribes from across the United States.“We are excited to be working with Michigan’s Indian tribes to grow more and better jobs and retain our youth and talent in Michigan,” said Terri Fitzpatrick, Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa and vice president of tribal business development for the MEDC. “The MEDC works with each tribe on an individual basis, respectful of unique interests and proprietary information.”Attendees were exposed to a variety of business development topics ranging from business, finance and government contracting to agri-business, aquaculture and alternative energy. Three of Michigan’s tribes – the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, and the Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Community – shared inspirational project stories with the gathering. Lisa McComb, executive direc-tor of Northern Shores Loan Fund, Inc., a native certified community development finan-cial institution, discussed the various entrepreneurial funding and services provided by NSLF, Inc. to the local community. The Northern Shores Loan Fund was formed by the Little Traverse Bay Bands to promote economic and community development. Dennis Worden, legislative director for the Native American Contractors Association in Washington, D.C., and a member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Idaho, encouraged tribes to use their distinct tribal advantages to pursue federal contracting opportunities. “The federal government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world,” Worden said.Kip Richie, Forest County Potawatomi of Wisconsin and chief operation officer for the Potawatomi Busi-ness Development Corporation, served as the keynote speaker and provided an overview of how his tribe initiated its non-gaming business diversification efforts. “It did not happen overnight and not everything was a win,” Richie said. “But we successfully moved from passive investments to purchasing existing companies and pursuing federal contracting.”“A job on the res is a job in the region,” said Eric Trevan, a member of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi, Gun Lake Tribe, and president and chief executive officer of Anishnabe Development. “I encourage tribal officials to plan for sustainable cooperative economies.”Frank Ettawageshik, Little Traverse Bay Band Odawa, who serves as the Executive Director of the United Tribes of Michigan, said the event and advancement of state-tribal business development collaboration had come a long way. “We used to sit and talk about what we could do, what we should do. Today we’re here talking about what we are doing, and what we have done,” Ettawageshik said.Tribal forum information can be found on the MEDC’s website at www.michiganadvantage.org/tribalThe Michigan Economic Development Corporation, a public-private partnership serving as the state's mar-keting arm and lead agency for business, talent and jobs, focuses on helping grow Michigan's economy.

It all started with some students saying “we need to paint that blank wall” and now the Art Room at Nah Tah Wahsh PSA has a new mural incorporating Potawatomi culture on one of its walls. Seniors Brittany Williams and Alyssa Sagataw challenged themselves to design and paint the 8’ x 12’ mural for their senior art project for their final semester before they graduated. The goal was to leave behind their legacy and also give back to the school through their art work. In January 2012 they wrote their proposal, drew up a preliminary sketch of the idea and presented it to Mr. Boda. From there it went to Mr. Miller and the School board for final approval. The mural was completed in May, just before graduation and has become a focal point in the Art Room.The mural depicts an eagle rising out of a fire. Alyssa states that “when there’s a scared fire we place our tobacco into it to send our prayers to the creator. We know from culture that the eagle is our nesh-nabe messenger who looks over us and also carries our prayers to the creator. With the eagle coming out of the fire we figured we would show that the eagle is taking the prayers of the people to the cre-ator. Also, our sunrise is created from the four colors of the medicine wheel to represent our culture”. In addition, a border was painted around the mural with quotes from the Great Spirit Prayer.

Thank you to the Culture Committee for all your hard work. Great job on another successfull pow wow!

Congratulations to the new-ly crowned 2012-2013 Miss

Great Lakes Area Princess, Madison Bartol

Madison is 10 years old and going into the 5th grade at Hannahville Indian School. Her parents are Judy Mc-Cullough and Kevin Bartol. Madison has a bright future ahead of her and will do a great job representing our community.

Congratulations to “Tha Stones”, pictured above from left to right: Ryan Metzger, Ogeema Anzia-no, James Smith and Eric Halfaday. 1st place win-ners of the hand drum contest! Good job guys!

Thank you to all those who danced, sang, watched and worked. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Here are 5 good reasons to learn the Bodewadmi language:

1. To help ensure the ultimate survival of sovereignty.2. Keeps religious ceremonies being correctly performed.3. It is who we are as Bodewadmi peo-ple.4. Hundreds of other tribes across the US are doing Immersions and studies show that Immersions are probably the most effective way in learning the language.5. It is fun and you can meet other Bodewadmi people from the other bands.

Potawatomi Language Summer Immersions

Group photo from 2011 Summer ImmersionThis year’s Summer Language Immersion Camps will be held at the Potawatomi

Heritage Center once again! Come join us along with the Potawatomi fluent speakers and other bands to get more acquainted with our language! There are two week- long sessions left: July 9th - July 13th, and August 13th – August 17th. This year we are requiring a pre-registration and a fee to cover the cost of food, so if you do not register ahead of time you will not be able to eat breakfast or lunch. The Summer Language Immersion Camps are part of Project Ewikkendaswat Ekenomagewat, funded through a three-year Language Revital-ization grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA).The first week of this year’s immersions has completed. We had another success-ful week with over 40 participants from many places including lower Michigan, Kansas and Oklahoma. The mornings were spent with Jim Thunder, Mary Jane Thunder and Thomas Loftis. Participants created sentences to be broken down, reviewed and revised if neccessary. After lunch, activities were offered. Han-nahville Indian School language teachers Kyle Kovish and Jessica Arkens put on an activity using legos using the Potawatomi language that taught participants how to create basic sentences about family. Another afternoon Kristy Phillips, High School language teacher lead a game of instruction where participants had to dress in different articles of clothing. It was very entertaining yet educational at the same time. We have had a great turn out from the other tribes and this year we would like to encourage more HIC tribal members to attend the event this summer. This is held right in our backyard and more of our people should be able to attend!

We hear so many talking about wanting to learn the language. Well, this is your chance to learn – so don’t be afraid to come learn. We are not all on the same level of fluency on the language. We have plenty of fun activities during the week-long event, which can be very entertaining as well. We have lots of prizes to give away! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact Dawn Hill 723-2272 or Molly Meshigaud at 723-2270. You can also visit www.potawatomilanguage.org for more information. We hope to see many of you there!

Learning our language is not a recreational activity,

it is a priority!

June’s Immersion particpant Kyle Ma-lott from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi received a Pendelton saddle blanket after getting the highest amount of votes from his peers for being the most improved stu-dent of the week.



Bosho Hannahville Tribal Members,

At the request of a Tribal Member I went to visit the Cemetery over a concern that they had. Upon my arrival I could see very clearly why there is such a concern about the crowded look that the cemetery is taking on. The concern was over the sizes of the spirit houses that people are putting up. Looking at it from that point of view it looks like there are a bunch of dog houses out there and from another point of view it looks like people are starting to put up townhouses and condomin-iums. The intent is good but when people don’t understand why they are there it ends up to be the way it is today.

If people were taken before their time either by accident, intoxication, murder or suicide then chances are those people would need a spirit house because they are going to need extended help. When the service for them is over it is not done for those one’s yet their spirit cannot go back home so they build them a spirit house and the survivors of the deceased go there and place water and food to feed their spirits. All other peo-ple who go from natural causes in reality do not need that same extended care however we still have an honor feast for the departed at one year.

The little spirit house don’t really need to be as big as some people are beginning to make them. A little house about eight to ten inch boards for the walls and with the roof in place stands about twelve inches high by about 22 to 24 inches long is sufficient. A little opening for the door to place food or berries in is big enough. It almost looks like everyone is trying to outdo or make their house bigger and better than the last one in there, take it easy, something small and simple is the best. Think about it nobody want to be in a big ole house all alone it gets lonely in there. If we could just suggest to downsize a little.

Ge tthe mi gwetth,

Earl J. Meshigaud Sr.
