Dear MotherBy: JoAnn Schedler (Gardner)

Written for the Mohican History Conference of 2011

In October,1861 Daniel J. Adams enlisted in Wisconsin’s 2nd Cavalry, company A.

In one of his letters he wrote to his mother, Electa [Quinney] Candy, in1862 from Springfi eld, Missouri, “I don’t think that the Hospital Doctorsknow any to much. There are a great many of our boys getting sick...Do you know what would be good for them” (Adams, J. C., August 8, Fighting for Two Nations 1862, p. 1)?

Daniel reminded his mother that he is sending her money; he heard she had received money from the state and will draw money from the Nation.

Daniel gave an account that “Sherman Dodge has just got out of the Guard House, he had to wear the ball and chains. ...What do you thinkof Mr. Dodges Sherm now” (Adams, p. 1)?

He inquired about the letters he wrote to Mr. Slingerland in Keshena, and to Osceola and Olive [Quinney], and if she knows the regiment and company Levi Konkapot had joined.

The politics of the Stockbridge Nation was on his mind, as he told his mother; Abram Pye Sr. is running for Sachem, “I think if that is the casethat they are mighty heard [sic] up for men. I believe in a chief knowing how to read and write don’t you think so too” (Adams, p. 2)?

He fi nishes this letter, “The Capt says that us boys are a set of high headed Indians will try and come home when peace is declared, if health and life is spared, and not before” (Adams, p. 2).

Daniel has a sense of humor and shows how patriotic he is about his dedication to two Nations.

Ruth and Calvin moved to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin in 1955, where the family was engaged in the orchard business for nearly 25 years.

and was pianist from its begin-ning as a Charter Member. She enjoyed serving the Lord at this church for many years, along with her brother, Pastor Gordon D. Shepard. Ruth was an ex-tremely loving person. She was kind and generous, caring for all persons, and taking them in when they needed a place to stay. She was a woman of great hospitality, and a prayer warrior who prayed unceasingly for many human be-ings. She loved her family, but she loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ above all! Ruth is now liv-ing in Heaven, safe in the arms of Jesus for all eternity. Amen.

Survivors include her children, Calvin David (Darlene) Peters of Sturgeon Bay, Wayne Peters of Gresham, Alan (Barb) Peters of Manitowoc, Ellen Peters (Willie) Moore of Gresham, and Marianne Peters Higgins of Gresham; fi f-teen grandchildren; many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; and her brother, Ira (Mary) Shepard.

Trevor “Reb” J. Mohawk, age 32 formerly of Bowler, began his journey to the Spirit World early Wednesday morning, April 4, 2018 in Lawrence, Kansas.

Trevor was born August 7, 1985 in Antigo, a son of Eldred Corbine, Sr. and Karrie Mohawk-Tucker. He attended school in Bowler, gradu-ating from Bowler High School in 2003. Following school he attend-ed South East Polytechnic Insti-tute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He then transferred to and gradu-ated from Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence KS. Trevor also attended Kansas University for a short time.

Trevor was a big guy who had a heart of gold which was bigger than he was. He was the most caring, loving, and generous per-son you would ever meet. Trevor was the type of person who would give you a place to stay if you had no place, give you the shirt off his back, and a shoulder to lay your head to release any troubles. He had a big, beautiful, contagious smile, and a crazy laugh that had a lasting impression on all he met. He ventured out and lived his life to the fullest. He will be forever missed and loved.

Survivors include his mother, Karrie (Lawrence Tucker) Mo-

Do you want to present in our homelands?There are frequent requests for tribal members to speak in our eastern homelands—the New York/Massachusetts area— and share about Mohican/Munsee history. Usually these requests come from historical societies, museums, colleges, or various community groups. They are eager to hear from our tribe and often do not know whom to contact.Historic Preservation would like to help compile a list of community members who may be interested in being reached out to about these requests. If you are interested, please contact Gladys Jacobs at 715-793-3971 or Gladys.Jacobs@mohican-nsn.gov, or Bonney Hartley at 518-

888-6641 or bonney.hartley@mohican-nsn.gov. Please let us know your contactinformation and if you have a certain topic of interest. Some examples might be: beadworkdemonstration, traditional foods,Hudson River Valley history, Stockbridge (Mass.) history,Revolutionary War history, role of Women in the tribe, environmentalissues, traditional games, music, or our tribe today. We will then compile the information into a Speaker’s List toshare as requests come up. Thereis no guarantee by being addedthat there will be an opportunity.It is hoped though that it will help facilitate matching tribal memberswith some great opportunities to showcase our history and presence.

Menominee Tribe Responds to Statewide Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine

(Keshena, WI) Menominee Indian Tribe announces that the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCAP) has placed the entire state under an Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine. Following the confi rmation of the Statewide Quarantine, Menominee Tribe will be considering enacting a “Tribal External Quarantine Order for Menominee Reservation boundaries.” As, this State Quarantine action only affects Menominee County and not the exterior boundaries for the Menominee Reservation. Quarantine restrictions for Menominee Reservation are awaiting consideration by Menominee Tribal Leadership. The Menominee Tribe’s Chairman Douglas Cox has communicated with Wisconsin DATCAP and USDA APHPIS to discuss the impacts of this full State Quarantine Order on the Menominee Tribe and Tribal lands. EAB has not been detected on the Menominee Reservation or Menominee County, and a Menominee Tribal External Quarantine is being considered to prevent the spread of EAB onto Menominee Tribal lands.“Our Menominee Tribe needs to understand and communicate on what the ramifi cations are to our Tribe, our Tribal Businesses, our Tribal basket makers, and our Tribal forest, said Chairman Cox. EAB is not here on Menominee and we, as a Tribe, will need to enact plans and regulations to make sure it does not move onto our Tribal lands, as a result of this state action. Since the discovery of EAB in Wisconsin, our Tribe have been actively searching ways to protect our black ash trees. We have been monitoring EAB throughout our lands, and have set in motion plans to harvest, store seeds, and replace black ash trees. Now we must make every effort to prevent the movement of ash trees, ash products, and fi rewood from all species that transport exotic pests, from coming on our Reservation.”The discovery of EAB in Wisconsin has promoted the State to implement quarantine areas. Until now the quarantine have been imposed by county by county. EAB has been found in two-thirds of the state’s 72 counties, which to this date, does not include Menominee County or bordering counties of Menominee Reservation. State Offi cials have decided a statewide quarantine is warranted. The quarantine will be effective Friday, March 30, 2018.For the Menominee Tribe, limiting the human-caused spread of EAB

and regulating the movement of ash material on the tribal lands, continue to be the goal of the Menominee Nation. As a Sovereign Nation, our Natural Resources Departments have followed tribal and federal guidelines and regulations restricting the movement of ash materials. The spread of EAB has been attributed to people moving wood across county and state boundaries for camping. With the entire state under quarantine, wood can now move freely between counties within Wisconsin. This is a great concern to the Menominee Tribe with no EAB on their lands.What does a Quarantine Mean? A Menominee Tribal External EAB Quarantine Order will be considered at the next Menominee Tribal Legislature Meeting, on April 5, 2018. This Tribal External Quarantine encompasses all of Menominee County Reservation boundaries and restricts the movement of ash trees, ash products, and fi rewood from all wood species from entering the Menominee Reservation in order to limit the potential introduction of EAB to Menominee Tribal lands.The Statewide EAB Quarantine encompasses all of the counties, except Menominee Reservation boundaries and allows wood to move freely between counties within Wisconsin. Businesses that move regulated items out of state will need to work with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to confi rm interstate requirements. These are items such as ash wood with bark still on it, larger ash chips, and any kind of hardwood fi rewood. Firewood restrictions will remain on some state and federal lands. If passed, the Menominee External Quarantine will include similar restrictions. Both State and federal agencies will work with Menominee Tribe to address Menominee forest management and logging industry concerns. The same agencies will be working with wood mills, fi rewood producers, nurseries, and others to ensure that commerce could still occur while safeguards were in place to prevent ash borer movement.What can people do to help?As the Tribe works on the external quarantine, we are urging Tribal members, visitors, and residents of Menominee Reservation and Menominee County to restrict moving fi rewood into Menominee reservation or Menominee County. Please adhere to the fi rewood restrictions of the state, federal, and tribal lands.

Education cont from page One:Milwaukee, Marquette University, and associations with the Wisconsin Indian Education Association.The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) has resources to support the persistence of American Indian students through the Electa Quinney Institute (EQI), American Indian Students Services, and American Indian Studies. Dr. Bowman said, “These areas are vital for a positive higher education experience and outcome”. Before leaving UWM, Dr. Bowman was honored and participated as a canary singer in a traveling song with the staff and students in the EQI offi ce. The drum used in the traveling song started at UWM as a Native American Big Drum group called the Minowakiing Chibizhiwag, Milwaukee Panthers in the mid-1970s at UWM and it continues to beat to this day. Also happening at UWM is “Indigenous Voices: Sharing the Wisconsin Sky” in the Manfred Olson Planetarium. The live presentation features the languages, star connections, traditional music, and cultural images from six Wisconsin Nations which includes two show times for Stockbridge-Munsee on Friday, April 27th the fi rst showtime is from 7pm to 8pm and the next showtime is from 8:15pm to 9:15pm. Tickets are $5 and they can be purchased online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/indigenous-voices-sharing-the-wisconsin-sky-tickets-43564249844 or by phone at 414-229-4961. The purpose of this show is to preserve the perceptions of the sky though an American Indian cultural lens.Jacqueline Schram who is from Manitoba, Canada and a band member of Sagkeeng First Nation works for Marquette University (MU) in Milwaukee as their Director of Public Affairs and Special Assistant for Native American Affairs. Jaqueline organized for Dr. Bowman to have a variety of meetings with essential staff and programs in support of persistence

of American Indian students at MU. One program in particular was MU School of Dentistry to discuss how we can increase the number of American Indian Dentist especially since we have a school here right in Wisconsin. Academic dental institutions such as MU provide education, research, and patient care as the cornerstones of academic dentistry that form the foundation upon which the dental profession rises to provide care to the public. Two tribal members recently attain a degree from MU. Tashina Williams who attained a Bachelor of Art’s Degree, majoring in Advertising in May of 2013 and a Master’s Degree in Digital Communication Strategies in May of 2017. Tashina is now working as the Marketing Account Coordinator for Potawatomi in Milwaukee. In addition, Rainer Posselt attained a Bachelor of Science Degree, majoring in Biomedical Sciences in May of 2016 and was recently accepted to Columbia University for Public Health in New York. “This is wonderful news to hear that our youth are going out and making a name for themselves which builds Mohican Nation’s foundation of sustainability in a broader context”, said Bowman.As a member of the Wisconsin Indian Education Association (WIEA) co-representing the Central Region with Chris Munson, Dr. Bowman shares the invitation to attend the annual WIEA conference. The 2018 WIEA conference is titled, “Revitalizing Tribal Nations Through Community Engagement”, April 19 - 21, 2018, at the Menominee Casino Resort in Keshena, WI.

Local Responder Attends Homeland Security TrainingEmergency Responder Vera E. Heubel, from Stockbridge Munsee Health and Wellness Center, recently completed training offered by the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), in Anniston, Ala. The CDP is operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and is the only federally-chartered Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) training facility in the nation.

The CDP develops and delivers advanced training for emergency response providers, emergency managers, and other government offi cials from state, local, and tribal governments. The CDP offers more than 40 training courses focusing on incident management, mass casualty response, and emergency response to a catastrophic natural disaster or terrorist act. Training at the CDP campus is federally funded at no cost to state, local, and tribal emergency response professionals or their agency.

Resident training at the CDP includes healthcare and public health courses at the Noble Training Facility, the nation’s only hospital dedicated to training healthcare professionals in disaster preparedness and response.

A number of resident training courses culminate at the CDP’s Chemical, Ordnance, Biological and Radiological (COBRA)

Training Facility. The COBRA is the nation’s only facility featuring civilian training exercises in a true toxic environment using chemical agents. The advanced hands-on training enables responders to effectively prevent, respond to, and recover from real-world incidents involving acts of terrorism and other hazardous materials.

Responders participating in CDP training gain critical skills and confi dence to respond effectively to localincidents or potential WMD events.

Information about CDP training programs can be found at http://cdp.dhs.gov. Visit the “News & Media” tab at the top of the site to download images, share CDP training articles, and fi nd out what others are saying about CDP training.

Coronary heart disease—often simply called heart disease—is the main form of heart disease. It is a disorder of the blood vessels of the heart that can lead to heart attack. A heart attack happens when an artery becomes blocked, preventing oxygen and nutrients from getting to the heart. Heart disease is one of several cardiovascular diseases, which are diseases of the heart and blood vessel system. Other cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and rheumatic heart disease. One reason some people aren’t too concerned about heart disease is that they think it can be “cured” with surgery or medication. This is

a myth. Heart disease is a lifelongcondition—once you get it, you’ll always have it. True, proceduressuch as bypass surgeryand percutaneous coronary intervention can help blood and oxygen fl ow to the heart more easily. But the arteries remaindamaged, which means you aremore likely to have a heart attack.What’s more, the condition of yourblood vessels will steadily worsen unless you make changes in yourdaily habits. Many people die of complications from heart disease or become permanently disabled.That’s why it is so vital to act toprevent and control this disease.
