2023 October Newsletter

In June, Del Norte Little League hosted the Oregon State District 8 Tournament in Crescent City, CA.

Del Norte Minor Baseball 10u All Stars went undefeated to Oregon Little League District 8 Champions. On July 22, 2023, the team traveled to La Grande, Oregon to compete in the Oregon State Tournament. Del Norte had their first two wins against Medford American (3-2) and North Portland (20-7).

On July 24, 2023, Del Norte triumphed over West Salem (5-2) in their 3rd win, making DN history as the 1st Minor Baseball 10u team to make it that far in an Oregon State Little League Tournament. In game four Del Norte fell to South Bend (2-7) placing 3rd in the State of Oregon and ending their 2023 season. The team’s roster included Chase Bachmann, Manuel Contreras, Tegan Good, Hudson Jacot, Mason Lindsay, Charles Mavris, Lionel Ramirez, James Land Jr, Isiah Brunson, Louis Moorhead, Jase Price-Lewis and Barrett Whitford.

This year’s Del Norte Little League season was dedicated in memory of Tribal Citizen, “Double T” Troy Travis. Del Norte took his memory and dedication to the league beyond the regular season by wearing his name on their hats. Hats were available for purchase and a portion of those sales went to the teams traveling to the state tournament.

This year Del Norte Little League was able to send five All Star Teams to compete at the Oregon State Tournament. Tribal youth include TDN Citizen James Land Jr. and Yurok youth Jase Price-Lewis, Charles Mavris, and Louis Moorehead. We are extremely proud of these boys and would like to thank the Nation and the Community for the tremendous amount of support shown to our youth athletes.

Tribal Community Wildfire Protection Plan

Public Input Meeting

When: Saturday November 18th, 2023

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Where: Xaa-wan'-k'wvt Hall Community Center 101 Indian Ct. Smith River, CA95567

In October of 2022, the Tolowa Dee-ni’Nation applied for USDA-Community Wildfire Defense Program dollars to create a Tribal Community Wildfire Prevention Plan (TCWPP). We were recently awarded the funding and are holding a public input meeting to kick-off the development of a TCWPP. This plan will position the Nation to appropriately and efficiently be prepared to respond to the Wildfire risks and threats to our properties, people, operations and resources. This plan will empower the Nation to execute several goals including:

Restore and Maintain Landscapes- resource management, fuels reduction prescribed and cultural fire

Create FireAdapted Communities- human life, infrastructure, homes, enterprises

Improve Wildfire Response- resources advisory, fire suppression activities, post fire repair and restoration

Please join us to kick-off our Tribal Community Wildfire Prevention Plan. Lunch will be served. To register or for more information/ questions contact:

HR Corner

Welcome Back! Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation’s, Naa-dvtlh-nvsh-nee-dvn, Human Resources Department’s helpful tips to land that job you’ve been dreaming about!

This month, we will focus on getting hired!

Accepting the job

You did it! You got the job! Congratulations! The rest is downhill from here, mostly. Here are some things to expect from most companies once hired.

Start time

It will be discussed with you what time to show up on your first day. It can vary depending on the department or company you are hired at. Some companies want you there at 8am, others have you show up for their New Employee Orientation at 9am, it will just depend on their needs. Just be ready!

Dress Code

When they call you to offer you the position, if they don’t mention it, ask them. They will tell you, we have a uniform for you, or its business casual, etc. At one company I worked at, it was required that each male employee wear a tie to work, every day, even on Fridays! So be ready for that first day, week, etc. by making sure you have everything ready, like clean laundry, polished shoes, new clothes if you need them, uniforms, etc.

Laundry List (of papers!)

During the phone call, typically from Human Resources, when the position is offered, the position, salary information and start date will be discussed.

There will also be a list of items most companies may have you fill out and return, or they may have you come into the office to complete this paperwork.

Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation sends out a Conditional Offer Letter via email with everything discussed during that initial offer phone call, along with the following to be completed and returned:

• Successful completion of a Background Check;

• Successful completion of a pre-employment drug screening;

• Clear driving record with valid state-issued driver’s license;

Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation offers need to be accepted within a short window of time, as there is much to process before your first actual day of work, and processes like a background check can take up to 2 weeks or more to be completed. The rest of the paperwork, like benefits, etc. will be handled during your New Employee Orientation which happens on your first day, or at a later scheduled date, depending on the company.

Have a great first day!

Resighini Rancheria Tribal Council Approves a Smokeless Tobacco & Defining Smoking Policy

Michael Sanchez, Health Promotion & Education Specialist, UIHS’ NATIVE Tobacco Project

United Indian Health Services’ NATIVE Tobacco Project is pleased to announce that the Resighini Rancheria Tribal Council approved a Smokeless Tobacco and defining Smoking Policy on June 16, 2023. The Resighini Rancheria acknowledges the importance of providing comprehensive health and wellness services to its Tribal members. Resighini Rancheria recognizes that commercial tobacco use is a preventable cause of death and disease, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth have higher rates of commercial tobacco use than other races/ethnicities. More than 16 million Americans are living with diseases caused by commercial tobacco use.

This policy will prohibit smokeless tobacco products (chew, snuff, snus and dissolvable tobacco products) and electronic smoking devices in places where smoking is otherwise prohibited. It is important to recognize the definition of smoking, as many forms of commercial tobacco exist. This definition of smoking is important to show clarity for the well-being of the Resighini Rancheria community.

Traditional Tobacco is sacred to Tribal members and will be exempt from this policy. Our ancestors have used sacred tobacco for thousands of years. Tobacco has grown on the North American continent for at least the last 8000 years. Tribal Elders are dedicated to keeping tobacco sacred. Tobacco is a gift to be used in a sacred way with respect. When used traditionally with respect and honor, tobacco can promote good health and assist with spiritual guidance and growth. Each Tribe across the Americas has different ceremonial uses.

The acceptance of this policy by the Resighini Rancheria Tribal Council is a testament to its collective consciousness and shared values, by collectively recognizing the significance of minimizing exposure to harmful substances. This step reflects a united front, promising all Resighini Rancheria members a brighter and healthier future.

Great American Smokeout (GAS)

Elidia Adams-Loya, Health Promotion & Education Specialist, NATIVE Tobacco Project United Indian Health Services, Inc.

What is the Great American Smokeout?

The Great American Smokeout event is on the third Thursday in November hosted by the American Cancer Society. This can be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life. You’ll be joining thousands of people who smoke across the country in taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing your cancer risk.

Smoking causes an estimated 480,000 deaths every year, or about 1 in 5 deaths. More than 16 million Americans live with a smoking-related disease. No matter your

age or how long you’ve been smoking, quitting improves health both immediately and over long term. Giving up smoking is a journey, and it can be hard, but you can increase your chances of success with a good plan and support. Getting help through counseling and medications doubles or even triples your chances of quitting successfully.

More than 1 in 4 American Indian and Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) adults smoke cigarettes. At 26%, that's 1.5 times greater than the US smoking rate. Out of the 10 leading causes of death among AI/AN, 6 of them have been linked to smoking.

On November 16, 2023, United Indian Health Services’ NATIVE Tobacco Project will be providing educational outreach at the following sites: Potawot Health Village & TAA-‘AT-DVN Medical Clinic (Crescent City) from 1-4PM

This event will have FREE resources and quit kits that have been specifically designed for UIHS clients.

SummerGONA

The Community and Family Wellness Department hosted this year’s Summer Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) August 1st through August 3rd at Rowdy Creek Park. This event was provided to eligible youth from ages 12 to 18 and to adults 18 and older. This provided the opportunity for youth to spend part of their summer break in a community environment with adults who model healthy behaviors.

The GONA was led by Robert and Lori from Native Wellness Institute. Each day started with an opening blessing. Participants practiced team building skills and were engaged in culturally rich activities which increased their sense of belonging and identity within their community.

The GONA focused on four (4) main themes throughout the three (3) days: Belonging, Mastery, Interdependence and Generosity. Participants learned about historical trauma and how it impacts their community. Participants then learned different ways of healing and identifying their strengths and how they can contribute to their communities. Participants also held discussions about healthy communication, building quality relationships and honoring cultural values.

Shu’ shaa nin-la to all who participated in this activity!

“Who are Your Relatives?” Family Tree Craft Family UnityActivity

On July 10th, 2023 the Tribal TemporaryAssistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the NativeAmerican Child Victim of Crime (NA) program, both of Community and Family Wellness, hosted a “Who are your relatives?” family tree craft activity at Howonquet Hall Community Center.

This month families gathered together to make family trees using various craft materials. This activity provided families the chance to research their family heritage and create their interpretation of a family tree. Some families chose to include only their immediate family members while other families chose to go back several generations. It was a fun night sharing each other’s family lineage with those in our community!

The evening began with an opening prayer and dinner followed by families listening to this month’s story “Be a Good Ancestor” written by Leona Prince. This book was the inspiration behind the theme of this current series of monthly activities. In appreciation of their participation, each family received a conversations card game to play together as a family at home. Those who completed surveys and provided photos of their family tree crafts were also able to select their choice of a mandala coloring book or a paint by sticker book.

If you would like to join us at future Family UnityActivity events please register with the link provided on our flyers that posted monthly on TDN social media sites and listed in the newsletter. These activities are open to NativeAmerican/Alaskan Native families residing in our service area with at least one child under the age of 18 living in the home.

Shu’shaa nin-la to all who participated in this activity!

Family Unity Activity

On August 14th, 2023 the Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the Native American Child Victim of Crime (NA) program, both of Community and Family Wellness, hosted a “Talking Sticks” family unity activity at Howonquet Hall Community Center.

Each participant was able to make their own individualized talking stick using various craft materials including feathers, leather lace, paint and beads. Traditionally talking sticks, originally referred to as a speaker’s staff, were tools used as a way to talk and listen effectively. They were traditionally used at major events such as Pow-wows, tribal council meetings, and important ceremonies. Their use was also extended to storytelling circles and teaching children. Anyone holding the talking stick was allowed to talk freely and express their sacred point of view without any repercussions.

The evening began with dinner followed by families listening to this month’s story “The Peace Stick” written by Nidhi Misra. In

appreciation of their participation, each family received a fun 5 game combo set of outdoor games to enjoy. Those who completed surveys and provided photos of their talking sticks were also able to receive an adjustable jump rope.
