limbo due to COVID-19

COVID-19 Team helps direct Nation during pandemic

As a result of the Oneida Public Health State of Emergency Decla-ration made on March 12, 2020, the Nation has been forced to reduce the Oneida Higher Education scholar-ship to $5,000 per academic year. In a memorandum dated April 20, 2020, Oneida Nation General Manager Deborah Thundercloud announced the drastic reduction from $20,000-$30,000 per student per year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Income generated from Gaming operations is what funds 100% of the Higher Education Scholarship,” Thundercloud wrote in the memo. “The Oneida Casino, being the larg-

Oneida Retail to offer coffee and more beginning May 12By Phil WisneskiPublic Relations Manager

Oneida Retail Enterprise

As everyone adjusts to the changes during the current pandemic, Onei-da Retail is doing the same. Barri-ers have been installed at registers, markings reminding customers about social distancing have been placed on floors, and constant cleaning of frequent touch points. Another change took place on May 12, albeit this change brings back a small sense of normalcy. Now at select locations, customers can finally get that all-im-portant morning cup of coffee.

The One Stop located at Hwy 54 in Oneida will be serving coffee from 7 am to 11 am every day. The minor change will be that the coffee will be full service. This means the cashier will be serving the customer the cof-fee. Sugar and cream packets will be made available to get that perfect mix.

The One Stop at the corner of Lars-en and Packerland will also be offer-ing full-service coffee between the hours of 6 am – 10 am.

Four Paths - Shell will see the big-gest change. They will not only be offering coffee from 6 am – 2 pm, they will also be offering soda.

The full-service beverage system is something new and may take some time to work the kinks out. The staff appreciates your patience and are happy to make those tough mornings

From page 1/Higher EducationThis sudden, drastic cut in finan-

cial aid for higher education students is going to be felt for some time, with students attending costlier schools feeling the brunt of this. “I’m guess-ing we may get a number of students who attend expensive schools who will stop going for now until the amount of the scholarship goes back up to what it was,” Oneida Higher Education Manager Mitch Metoxen said. “With these new rules put in place if a student already received $5,000 for this coming fall semester, they’ve already maxed their benefits and can’t receive more funding until next August.”

Students who suddenly find them-selves on the short end of financial aid are now having to locate alterna-tive sources of funding. “It’s too ear-ly to tell, but it seems students may elect for student loans or even this CARES Act which is giving money to colleges who may, in turn, devel-op some type of aid for students who lost out on other grants and scholar-ships,” Metoxen said. “We’re hop-ing this is the case with the CARES Act.”

The United States Department of Education and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) has held listening sessions in which people can submit specific questions regarding Native student funding. Metoxen submitted questions but is waiting on respons-es.

“One of the first questions I asked

was if they were going to be giving funds directly to students or to tribes to give to students,” Metoxen said. “I don’t know if that’s going to hap-pen or not, but I’ve heard they’re giving money to colleges, including tribal colleges, through the CARES Act. So I’m trying to get clarifica-tion on what the CARES Act fund-ing will do for schools and ultimate-ly our students. Obviously, the more information we get to pass on to our students the better we’re going to be as advisors.”

Metoxen’s next question for the panel, also awaiting a response, was regarding the direction schools might take with CARES Act fund-ing those institutions might receive. “Are dollars going to be given to colleges with the direct purpose of supplementing lost tribal scholar-ships, or will there be dollars given directly to tribes to process for their members,” Metoxen asked the pan-el. “And can the amount considered per college student be proportionate to the pre-COVID amount that the tribe would have given.”

Metoxen points out that he is un-aware of any tribe that provides a scholarship to its citizens the way the Oneida Nation does. “We made a decision some 20 years ago to give millions of dollars to our tribal mem-bers to attend college,” Metoxen said. “I don’t know of any other tribe that’s done that so I just want them to remember that and, when and if they

start giving out money, remember that the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin was giving out millions of our own dollars to our own tribal members to attend college…..and now we can’t.”

It is in each students’ best interest to contact their college’s financial aid office directly as soon as pos-sible. “We believe that the CARES Act has provided money to colleges to provide to their students,” Metox-en said. “Students may want to ask them if they received funds for those students who lost grant or scholar-ship moneys. We do know that the funds are for students who incurred extra costs due to the disruption of campus operations. For example, if a student had to go online and buy internet connection then this could be for that scenario. Each institution also most likely has their own emer-gency funds and grant programs that students can apply for. But we don’t know if that’s a first come, first serve situation so it’s in the student’s best interest to apply as soon as possible.”

“We would like to offer our words of encouragement to each of you as students,” Thundercloud wrote. “Please know that we continue to wish you well in your educational endeavors and that the Nation has also declared that upon returning to an improved financial status, it will be a priority to increase the Higher Education Scholarship fund.”

Virtual Pow Wow being researchedMembers of the Pow Wow Advi-

sory Board/Tourism are looking into the options of doing an on-line vir-tual special pow wow. Earlier this month, Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, MI hosted one on their facebook page. Other Nations are considering similar options due to numerous pow wow cancellations.

“It is heartbreaking to see our an-

nual tradition of the 4th of July Pow Wow go away and we really want to do something to lift everyone’s spir-its from this pandemic situation.” Pow Wow Organizer Jeremy King says.

Oneida Nation Tourism Director Michelle Danforth said more infor-mation will be available as this idea develops.

Skenandore, Evelyn RoseDecember 13, 1934 – May 1, 2020

Evelyn Rose Ske-nandore, 85, Onei-da, passed away Friday morning, May 1, 2020. The daughter of George and Mary (King) Metoxen was born on December 13, 1934. On January 4,

1953, Evelyn married Robert “Walter” Skenandore. They had nine children to-gether and Walter preceded her in death in 2007.

Evelyn was an Elder in the Oneida community. She loved her bingo, doing crosswords, watching the Packers and playing slots on her tablet. She liked watching Price is Right and she was even on the show in the late 1970s.

She is survived by her children, Rob-ert Lee (Linda) Skenandore, Elaine (Donald) Terpstra, Debra Skenandore, Jeffrey (Julie) Skenandore, Linda (Brian) Bateman and Kristine (Jim) Hughes. She is further survived by her many grandchildren (31), great-grand-children (40), great-great-grandchil-dren (4), brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and other extended family members.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Robert “Walter,” parents, George and Mary, and children David, Michael and Donna Jean.

Private family services were held. Ryan Funeral Home, De Pere is assist-ing the Skenandore family. To extend online condolences, please visit www.ryanfh.com.

Garcia, GeorgeannDecember 9, 1969 – April 29, 2020

Georgeann Gar-cia, 50, Chicago, IL., passed away on April 29, 2020. She was born on Decem-ber 9, 1969 in Chica-go, to Wallean Me-toxen and Samuel Garcia. Georgeann married Santos Gar-

cia Sr. in May 1999 in Chicago.Georgeann enjoyed Royal RC soda,

watching Daddy (Santos) play softball, going to pow-wows and making crafty things like Native American jewelry. She loved making things by hand for her grandchildren and facetiming with her family.

Georgeann is survived by her hus-band, Santos; her children Joseph Garcia 35, Miguel Garcia 32, Samu-el Godinez 25, Selina Garcia 24 and D’Angelo Garcia 23; her stepchildren she raised, Tony Sexton, Amanda Sex-ton, Niko Garcia, Gino Garcia and San-tos Garcia, Sr.

taken by the team including the issu-ance of the Safer at Home Order on behalf of the Nation, while the Busi-ness Committee (BC) had the respon-sibility of issuing the Public Health Declaration State of Emergency.”

Although the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team has the au-thority to make changes, they cannot be permanent. Chapter 302 of the Emergency Management Plan clear-ly states, “Any actions taken under authority granted in this section shall be effective upon the date declared by the COVID-19 Team and shall be effective for the duration of any declared emergency, or for a shorter time period if identified.”

“We made changes to the law sole-ly for this pandemic,” Danforth said. “But those law changes will go back to normal after the Public Health Declaration is lifted. We hope people understand this, as well as the appear-ance of split dates between the Safer at Home Order and the Public Health State of Emergency. While the BC has extended the State of Emergen-cy, the Safer at Home Order may co-incide with the State of Wisconsin’s and not be as long.”

There have been some misun-derstandings in the community about who is, or should be, on the COVID-19 Decision Making Team. “Some have confused this team with the Emergency Management Plan,” Danforth said. “The Emergency Management Plan incorporates all aspects of the organization including the Oneida Police Department, Pub-lic Health, Community Health, Re-tail, Gaming, the BC, the Law Office, and others. We hold meetings with each other three times per week and we report out statistics and any major issues like community resources.”

Due to the reduced size of the Ka-lihwisaks only Business Card Size (3.75 in X 2.5 in ) and 1/4 Page (3.75 in X 4.75 in) political ad space in Black and White is currently being offered. A business card ad is $25 per issue. 1/4 page ad is $50 per issue.

Be concise with the information you provide. Do not include a life

history or family tree. A helpful hint: Choose a short bulleted list of 3-5 main issues to focus on, create a facebook page or website to expand on the finer details of your life and the campaign. Include the facebook/website in your short Kali ads to draw people there for more informa-tion on your campaign.
