Indianz.com…Wednesday, June 18, 2014 The logo for the Change the Mas-

cot campaignThe United States Patent and Trade-

mark Offi ce has canceled the trademarks belonging to the Washington NFL team due to their "disparaging" nature.

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board issued its long-awaited ruling on a petition fi led by a group of young Na-tive activists. They successfully argued that the team's six trademarks are of-fensive to Native people.

"The United States Patent and Trade-mark Offi ce’s Trademark Trial and Ap-

Patent offi ce cancels trademarks for Washington football team

peal Board -- an independent adminis-trative tribunal within the USPTO -- has determined, based on the evidentiary record in the proceeding before it and on applicable law, that the petitioners met their burden to establish that the

term 'Redskins' was disparaging of Na-tive Americans, when used in relation to professional football services, at the times the various registrations involved in the cancellation proceeding were is-sued," the offi ce said today. "Thus, the federal registrations for the “Redskins” trademarks involved in this proceeding must be canceled."

The decision doesn't mean the team has to stop using its racist mascot. It only affects the federal registration of the trademarks

The decision can be appealed to the Winnebago Tribal Transportation is hard at it everyday, the WIN camera caught up to them at Wesley Way in nearby Sioux City, Iowa.

The Winnebago Volunteer Fire Department recently responded to a house fi re in Winnebago. The home unoccupied for some years, was one of the fi rst homes in Winnebago owed by a Winnebago family. Known as the “Bear” house, it was most recently lived in by Shelly Bear and her family, and before that it was Charlie Bear’s place. The Winnebago VFD quickly got the fi re under control to protect nearby homes and main-tained the fi re for a couple of days after.

federal courts. The team previously won a ruling that said Suzan Shown Harjo and other Native activists waited too long to bring their challenge.

In 1999, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board also determined the trade-marks were disparaging.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, left the door open for a new challenge from people who weren't alive when the trademarks were fi rst regis-tered in 1967. The petitioners in Black-horse v. Pro Football, Inc. represent a new generation of Native activists who

oppose the continued use of a racial slur in professional sports.

First Day Notice of Intent

In My OpinionWinnebago Indian News, Saturday, June 21, 2014 — Page 3

JESUS OUR SAVIOR LUTHERAN OUTREACH Pastor Ricky Jacob

MY LITTLE REFLECTIONHappy Father’s Day to all you fathers!We rarely take the opportunity to re-

ally thank our near and dear ones. We just celebrated Father’s Day. Father’s Day is celebrated to pay a tribute to all the fathers of the world. It is dedicated to fatherhood, the second most wonder-ful relationship after motherhood. We all know that fathers do anything and everything for the betterment of their children. This day allows young and adult children to pay their sincere ad-miration and respect towards their dad. It creates an opportunity for children to express their hidden love and affection they have always felt for their father, which they usually do not reveal, unlike fathers who shower it by fulfi lling their needs and demands.

I like this poem and I like to share it with you. It is called, “What makes a Dad”

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,The warmth of a summer sun,The calm of a quiet sea,The generous soul of nature,The comforting arm of night,The wisdom of the ages,The power of the eagle’s fl ight,The joy of a morning in spring,The faith of a mustard seed,The patience of eternity,The depth of a family need,Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was com-

plete,And so,

“It doesn’t work!”The above words were spoken at the

2nd annual Fatherhood is sacred confer-ence. You might be surprised who said these words and what he was referring to. First, the man was referring to the Juvenile Justice System. He said in his presentation that ‘the Juvenile Justice doesn't work - it is dysfunctional, the 'power' of the robe doesn't work.’

Who said these words? Ken Vampola, Nebraska State District Judge is serving now at the Dodge County Juvenile Court. Judge Vampola served at the Winnebago Tribal court from 1994 until 2005.

Sometimes one is led to believe that if we write laws with stiff penalties that most, if not all, well change their ways. If justice was truly fair and swift in carrying out its judgment then the world would be a better place. In a perfect world this would be so, even without laws. However, we do not live in a perfect world.

So if the Juvenile Justice System doesn’t work, where should one turn to change lives? The logical place would shift the responsibility on the person. Instead of the judge, the court, the jail or prison, it is about the law-breaker. The law breaker needs to make the change. You would agree with that, wouldn’t you?

Can one do the right things or change one’s life due to the law and its penalties? The truth is that while the law is good and proper and should be followed to the let-ter, it can only condemn one before God. Note well: I did not write before a judge, I wrote before the Judge, God the Father.

There is no one righteous. Not one of you reading this article can claim that you have turned your life around and now are without condemnation. You are guilty. You have failed. You are helpless,

He called it…Dad.Author unknownA child once said, “The greatest gift I

ever had, came from God. I called him DAD. Its true that any man can be a father but it takes only one special per-son to be a Dad.” God, our Father in Heaven loved us fi rst and He loves us unconditionally. So that fathers can give that same love to their children. We need to remember to express our love to our fathers while they are still on this earth, not only once a year on Father’s Day but everyday. To all fathers in the world, I want to say in all sincerity ----you are greatly loved and appreciated and needed.

My father has already passed away many years ago but I still remember him and the wonderful feeling I have of him. If I have a choice in the matter of choosing who I would want to be my dad, I would still choose him all over again in a heart beat, not because he was a perfect person but because he was my dad who loved me and cared for me and sacrifi ced himself for me many times over.

God is our father and we are all broth-ers and sisters, and we are all one in Him. Even if our earthly fathers fail, God is always with us and always loves us and wants us to choose the path of happiness and peace --- a much less traveled road.

God bless us all near and far, espe-cially those fathers who fi nd it too diffi cult to be a DAD.

Sr. Hilda Choi

on your own, to change your life style or to even turn back to God. On your own you have no chance. However, God offers you good news. Jesus, God’s Son, took your sin upon Himself and paid for it in full. Jesus offers you His righteousness. This is received by faith in Jesus Christ as a gift.

You see, Jesus did not come into the world the fi rst time to condemn the world, nor did He come to abolish the law. Jesus came to fulfi ll the law as He laid down His life as a ransom for all who believe in His sacrifi ce, paid with His precious blood and with His innocent suffering and death.

Faith in Jesus turns people’s lives around. The joy of knowing Jesus took one’s place and promises everlasting life moves one to live for Him, following the lead of Jesus, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to walk in His ways.

The law, the courts, the judicial system does not work when it comes to changing lives. The Gospel, the good news of what Jesus already did and continues to do, changes lives. Are you ready and willing for a change?

One fi nal word of warning: when Je-sus returns He has promised to come as judge, the Judge. If you have faith in Him and His saving work then you eagerly await that day with joy. If you dread that day or think that you have lived a pretty good life, then you will be on your own – God forbid!

Each week God gives us the blessed assurance of everlasting life in His houses of worship. Come and receive at Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Outreach as we study God’s grace in our Bible study at 10, followed by Divine Service at 11.

Thank You…I would like to take this time to Thank all of the people that attended

our beloved Terry Lyon’s wake and funeral.I thank Morgan Earth for helping us in our time of need. No words

can describe how thankful we are for your time that you spent with us and helped us prepare Terry for his fi nal resting place. Also thanks to the ones that came to the devotional services, Thanks to Reva and all her helpers for the wonderful meals they prepared for us all during the wake and funeral. And we thank all those that brought donations, sat with us, took care of the fi re and prayed for us.

What’s HappeningPage 8 — Winnebago Indian News, Saturday, June 21, 2014

Hello, my name is Samuel Snowball and I am the summer youth intern for the Senior Home Repair. My parents are Crystal and Pete Snowball Sr. I am sixteen years old and come from the Winnebago Tribe Nebraska. I belong to the thunder clan and my Indian name is Huc Hungada (King Bear). … I will be a junior this coming fall at Winnebago Public School and after graduating High school I plan on attending college. The reason why I wanted to work for the summer youth program was to stay busy during the summer. With my fi rst pay-check I’m going to save half and spend to other half on lunches.

Summer Youth Interns Thelma Whitewater Presented Award for Work to Prevent Elder Abuse

Winnebago – Thelma Whitewater, elder abuse prevention coordinator, Indian Health Services, Winnebago Reservation, was presented Tuesday (6/17) with the first annual Elder Abuse Prevention Advocate of the Year award for northeast Nebraska by the Department of Health and Human Ser-vices for promoting information about elder abuse and neglect.

LaDonna Mead, DHHS child/family services specialist supervisor, made the presentation at the Senior Center on the Winnebago Reservation. The award was presented as a part of DHHS’ ob-servance of World Elder Abuse Aware-ness Day.

Mead cited Whitewater for her work to increase awareness of elder abuse and neglect and to remind Nebraskans that if they suspect abuse to call 1-800-652-1999.

“Thelma has organized a compre-hensive observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day,” she said. “She created effective multiple culturally specifi c outreach materials, as well as a community guide of resources for the elders and has spearheaded an effort to update the Winnebago Tribal Code regarding elder abuse.”

Mead also praised her inclusion of youth in the observance, including a poster contest with the winner’s picture placed on a billboard.

The Elder Abuse Prevention Advo-cate of the Year award is sponsored by the Department of Health and Hu-man Services to recognize Nebraskans

across the state who work to protect the elderly.

“The work of many Nebraskans to increase awareness of the signs of elder abuse is important to protect the elderly from abuse and neglect,” said Pristow. “It’s a partnership and we need everyone’s help to identify those who many need our assistance. During this observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness we want all Nebraskans to take extra time and observe the elderly around them to ensure they are physically, mentally and fi nancially healthy and report it to the Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline if they aren’t. It’s our responsibility.”

“Our elderly deserve no less than our best protection,” Miller said. “When friends and loved ones recog-nize those signs and report it, then we’re able to help them protect the well-being of Nebraska’s elderly citi-zens.”

Mead encouraged Nebraskans to watch for elder abuse and urged those who suspect it has occurred to call the Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-652-1999. Among the signs of elder abuse, are:

Unexplained signs of injury such as bruises, welts, or scars, or broken bones, sprains, or dislocations.

Bruises around breasts or genitals, or torn, stained, or bloody undercloth-ing.

Unusual weight loss, malnutrition, dehydration.

Untreated physical problems, such as bed sores, and unsanitary living conditions like dirt, bugs, soiled bed-ding and clothes.

Signifi cant withdrawals from the elder’s accounts, or sudden changes in the elder’s fi nancial condition.

Items or cash missing from the senior’s household.

Problems with the care facility: poorly trained, poorly paid, or insuf-ficient staff; crowding; inadequate responses to questions about care.

Reports of drug overdose or appar-ent failure to take medication regularly (a prescription has more remaining than it should).

If abuse is suspected, call the Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-652-1999. The call may be anonymous.

Northern Plains Intertribal LacrosseWinnebago Indian News, Saturday, June 21, 2014 — Page 9

The Home-coming Celebra-tion is in honor of the War Chief L i t t l e P r i e s t , (hoonk-hoo-no-kow). The last war chief of the Winnebago tribe. He was born in 1829, at Lake Koshhonong in southern Wis-consin. In 1844, he became the

youngest war chief at the age of 15 years old. In the fall of 1863, when the Winnebago were moved to Crow Creek, South Dakota, Little Priest joined the Ne-braska Cavalry Regiment and fought with General Alfred Sully against the Teton Lakota in the so called, “Sioux wars of 1863-1867.” In 1865, Little Priest and 70 other Winnebagos enlisted in Company A, of the Fort Omaha Scouts, in Wyoming and Southern Montana. In April of 1866, Little Priest was shot 4 times and was mortally wounded. He recovered, and was brought back home to the Nebraska reservation where he died of his wounds on September 12, 1866.

Little Priest was buried on September 13, 1866 and his remains were placed in a small mound in the Timbers, 3 miles west of the Missouri River. After the wake and burial, his brother Chief Grey Wolf, a medicine man, called a council of all 12 clans and proposed a celebration in honor of his death and all the warriors who fought with Company A, Omaha Scouts; Nebraska Volunteers. The fi rst celebration, called Pow-wows were held at the Big Bear Village a few miles west of the Missouri River. Around 1885, the celebration moved to the Red Leggs Vil-lage of Whirling Thunder, which is about 6 miles southeast of the present town of Winnebago.

Over the years, the Pow-wows moved where ever the Winnebago’s moved. One was held on the hills west of the town of Winnebago. Another was held along the waters of the Omaha Creek, at the old U.S. Grants homestead. Another one was held south of the town of Winnebago at the William Bakers place. In the late 1890’s, there were Pow-wows north of Winnebago, at the old Charley Fisher residence. In 1905, the Pow-wows moved to a place called “Flag Pole Hill,” which was near the old John Walker’s residence; 4 miles east of Winnebago.

When the Winnebago agency moved to its present place 2 miles east of the town in 1918, the Pow-wow Celebration moved

The Memorial CelebrationBy: David Lee SmithTribal HistorianEdited by: Kristel CozzaAmericorp Vista

into its current spot and it has been there ever since. In the early years of the celebration, the Pow-wow was just Tradi-tional Dancing and memorial feasts in honor of the past vet-erans. It was also a time of get-togethers.

Many Winnebagoes returned to the res-ervation to meet and trade with their relatives and friends.

In the mornings, games were played between different teams. Moccasin, horse racing, foot racing, baseball, Lacrosse, horseshoe, tug-of-war, and various card games were played for small prizes. In the 1930’s, a small carnival featuring rides was a common thing. In the afternoon and evenings, various dances were performed. One could see the War Dances, Eagle Dance, Grass Dance, Hoop Dance, Feather Dance, Two Step Dance, Rabbit Dance, Green Corn Dance, Round Dance, Swan Dance, Bean Dance, Fish Dance, Stomp Dance, Gourd Dance, and Traditional Inter-Tribal Dancing. The dancing was just for enjoyment and honoring deceased relatives who fought in the Armed Services of the United States.

Today, a lot has changed but the main celebration stays the same. The Memorial Celebration still honors Little Priest and members of Company A. It also includes all veterans from the Spanish American War; World War I & II; Korean War; Viet-nam War; Central American & The Islands Police Action; Bosnia; Somalia Police Ac-tion and the two Persian Gulf Wars. Many women veterans are also included in the Memorial Celebration.

The Traditional Dancing of various dances is replaced by contest dancing for big prize money. The memorial feasts were replaced by give-a-ways. The danc-ing regalia are more colorful and present a beautiful spectacle to watch. One does not hear too many bells in the arena any-more, just on the Traditional Dancers. One does hear the clank of thousands of jingles making noises by the women jingle dress dancers.

Just as culture changes overtime, so has the Pow-wow Celebration. The main part of the celebration will never change and this is the honoring of War Chief Little Priest, and his brave men of Company A, Omaha Scouts, Nebraska Volunteers and the men and women who follow in their footsteps. This honored custom will never fade out. This is the oldest celebration of its kind in the United States, the world, and probably the Universe.

It is told that the fi rst game of lacrosse was played between the animals and the birds. This game was won by the winged ones and from thenceforth it has been called the “creator’s game”. The game was gifted to the two-legged from creator for enjoyment and as a medicine game for the healing of the people. Due to its Indigenous origins, this ever becoming popular sport seems to run in the blood of Native people.

This was evident at the recent La-crosse tournament called Rumble in the Hills, which took place in the Black Hills at Rapid City, on the weekend of June 8-9th, 2014. Two inter-tribal traveling

teams composed of players from four res-ervations Ihanktonwan/Yankton, Lower Sioux/Cansa’yapi; Sicangu/Rosebud and Winnebago defeated the Rapid City Shock in a three-game series. The game was very emotional for the Intertribal team as this medicine game is making a historic comeback to the Northern Plains.

The inter-tribal traveling teams 13U and 19U with a roster of 34 players are composed of players from the Lightning Sticks, the War Party and the Thunder-hawks. The Lightning Sticks are from Cansa’yapi or Morton, Minnesota and Yankton, South Dakota. The Warparty

are from the Winnebago, Nebraska and the Thunderhawks are from Rosebud, South Dakota. The coaches for the intertribal team are Franky Jackson of Morton, Minnesota, Kip Spotted Eagle of Yankton, South Dakota, Corey Holiday from Winnebago, Nebraska and Kevin Hoch Decora of Mission, South Dakota.

The rebirth of this old sport in Oceti Sakowin lands had its humble begin-nings at the 2011 Lightning Sticks Lacrosse Camp on the Ihanktonwan Reservation in August of that year. In

that year, pro Lacrosse player Brendan Shook had approached the Brave Heart Society of Yankton to explore the possibil-ity of reviving the sport on the Northern Plains. Mr. Shook was interviewed by the Brave Heart grandmothers who then began making plans to host the fi rst camp. As the event became an annual event, par-ticipants from Rosebud, Morton, Stand-ing Rock and Yankton began to pursue a vision of the return of a game that was lost for many years due to governmental oppression. Standing Rock has also sent participants to the camps. A camp has also been hosted at Lower Sioux and Crow Creek.

Lacrosse has survived well with the

Haudenosaunee peoples and other tribal nations in eastern Turtle Island. The re-cent movie of the Thompson Brothers has gained a following in Indian Country. The Iroquois Nationals gained the admiration of all when they insisted on using Native passports to travel into Canada, although they were denied. There are many role models.

Lacrosse was traditionally used as a means of healing between parties when hurtful confl icts were eminent. Native history tells of a Yankton Chief, Wa ana-tan who oversaw a game that last several days, eventually leading to the settling of a confl ict between camps. Many of our communities plagued by violence would

benefi t from this ancient way of resolving confl icts and pursuing healing.

The future looks bright for this inter-tribal team as they are prepare for a number of Lacrosse Camps this summer, including the 4th Lightning Sticks La-crosse Camp which is slated for August 8-11th, 2014 at Marty, SD. To fi nd out more about scheduled camps please visit us at www.lightningsticks.org. or follow us on FaceBoook.

There are plans to mobilize a girls’ team from the Brave Heart Society, the Lower Sioux Community and other inter-ested communities as resources become available, as girls from these communi-ties have been already involved in the previous mentioned camps.
