Engaging with Tribes at the 2024 Regional Tribal Conversation in Kansas City

group of people from tribal conversation event

 

On April 22-24, the Region 7 Office of Child Support Services team held their annual Tribal Conversation in Kansas City, with representatives from the tribal child support agencies of the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Meskwaki Nation, and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.  Also attending were OCSS Director of Regional Operations, Melissa Johnson, and ACF Regional Administrator, Barbara Lacina.  

The annual Tribal Conversation began in 2012, as an opportunity for the tribal child support programs to share best practices, learn from peers, solve problems, and develop program innovations.  The ACF Regional Administrator was invited, to present on the range of programs and services funded by ACF in Tribal Nations, to explain how ACF fits into the big HHS picture, to describe all the programs and services HHS encompasses, and to illustrate how child support agencies can collaborate with other HHS-funded tribal programs such as home visiting, mental health and substance use, or health services and resources, to engage with the broader tribal community. 

Another unique and key element of the Tribal Conversation was a focus on fatherhood collaborations.  To advance this aspect of the agenda, Regional Administrator Lacina presented an overview and background on the formation and purposes of the Region 7 Fatherhood Economic Mobility Task Force.  RA Lacina encouraged the tribal child support Directors to consider having a member of their team join the Task Force, both to bring much-needed tribal representation and voices to the group as well as to gain information and ideas that will strengthen efforts to build their own fatherhood collaborations. 

The OCSS team reported that the ORO presence at the Tribal Conversation was very beneficial, and the discussions were informative and well-received.

UN mission in Iraq to end after two decades

UN mission in Iraq to end after two decades

         UNITED NATIONS, United States, May  31, 2024 (BSS/AFP) – At the request of
Baghdad, the UN Security Council unanimously decided Friday that the United
Nations political mission in Iraq will leave the country at the end of 2025
after more than 20 years.

       Earlier this month, in a letter to the council, Iraqi Prime Minister
Mohamed Shia al-Sudani called for the United Nations Assistance Mission for
Iraq (UNAMI) to be closed.

       Al-Sudani said UNAMI had overcome “great and varied challenges” and that
“the grounds for having a political mission in Iraq” no longer exist.

       The UNSC resolution adopted on Friday extended the mission’s mandate for “a
final 19-month period until 31 December 2025 after which UNAMI will cease all
work and operations.”

       Farhad Alaaldin, the Iraq prime minister’s advisor for foreign affairs,
welcomed the move, expressing on X his “thanks to UNAMI for all their work
during the past two decades.”

       The mission was established by a UN Security Council resolution in 2003 at
the request of the Iraqi government after the US-led invasion and fall of
Saddam Hussein.

       It has about 700 staff, with key tasks including advising the government on
political dialogue and reconciliation, as well as helping with elections and
security sector reform.

       During the mission’s previous renewal in May 2023, the Council asked the
secretary-general to launch a strategic review, which was overseen by German
diplomat Volker Perthes.

       In a report issued in March, Perthes signaled that the closing schedule
would reassure reluctant Iraqis that the transition “will not lead to a
reversal of democratic gains or threaten peace and security.”

THE SANDHILL UNITE!

(For expedience sake- Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway will be referred to as Principal Chief Yonaguska. The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas will be referred to as FANA, The Red Chief of the SandHill, Lance Red Hawk Shauger will be referred to as Red Chief Red Hawk. Principal Blood Chiefs will be referred to as Principal Chiefs)

It has been a long journey to where the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (NY, NJ, PA) has become globally recognized under the leadership of  Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway.  He is also FANA’s Minister of International Affairs and Ambassador to the UN

Principal Chief Yonaguska was one of three Chiefs who had met by happenstance at an Indigenous Forum being held at the United Nations more than a decade ago.  It was at that event, that the seeds were planted which began to formulate into an idea of a Federation that would become known internationally as The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas.

In the meantime, while we were forming the Federation, there was a concerted effort being made by the SandHill leadership to identify and locate those SandHill who were currently scattered throughout America.  

Why was that action needed?  When the trail of tears occurred, many of the SandHill went into hiding in cities and rural areas throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.  They went into what is referred to as “the woodwork.”  Eventually, under the leadership of their Chiefs, the SandHill who dwelled in their ancestorial lands within New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York began to come out of hiding and made it known that the SandHill Tribe still existed, and never gave up their sovereignty or abandoned their lands. They still existed as a Tribe, and went by the traditions…

UNSC Decides to Terminate UNAMI Mandate by End of 2025

01 June 2024
00:02 AM

Article Number :0032

New York, May 31 (QNA) – The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has announced the termination of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) by the end of 2025.
In a resolution adopted today, the UNSC said it took into account the letter from the Iraqi government dated May 8, 2024, decided to extend the mandate of the UNAMI for a final period of 19 months, ending on December 31, 2025. After this date, UNAMI will cease all its assigned activities and operations except for the remaining liquidation activities of the mission.
Resolution 2732 also directs UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to prepare, in consultation with the Iraqi government, a plan for the transfer and liquidation of tasks to be completed by the end of this year. This plan should include a specific date for the conclusion of liquidation activities in Iraq.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) is a special political mission established in 2003 under Security Council Resolution 1500, following a request from the Iraqi government.

Nanticoke Area’s Zack Fox Leads the Miners Over the Pioneers 42-6 –

Written by: David Mika on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024. Follow David Mika on Twitter.

 

WEST PITTSTON — It was the Zack Fox show.

Fox rushed for 144 yards and two rushing touchdowns. He had an 87-yard kickoff return to lead the Miners over the Pioneers 42-, Saturday night in the 73rd Annual UNICO All-Star Football Classic.

Fox also had an interception right before halftime and was later named the George Curry MVP for his performance Saturday night. Fox plans to play football at Lackawanna College this fall.

The story of the first half was the rushing attack of Fox, Hazleton Area’s Brady Mizenko and Wilkes-Barre’s Howie Shiner. The trio combined rushing was 286 yards.

The Miners ate up most of the time in the first quarter. The 15-play drive was capped off by quarterback Drew DeLucca of Pittston Area who dove into the end zone for the first score of the game.

Fox scored the next two touchdowns for the Miners with runs of 18 and 44 yards.

The defensive play of the night came from Hazleton Area’s Peter Youngcourt. Berwick’s quarterback Ethan Lear fumbled the ball on the sack. Youngcourt scooped up the fumble and dove into the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown. Shiner caught a two-point conversion pass from DeLucca.
At halftime the Miners led 26-0.

The Pioneers’ offense finally got going on the first possession of the second half. Isaiah Cobb from Wyoming Valley West had runs of 12, 17 and 10, setting up his one-yard touchdown run.

Cobb led the Pioneers rushing last night. He finished with 77 yards.

The Pioneers didn’t have much time to celebrate the touchdown. Fox took the kickoff and went 87 yards down the sideline for the score.

They…
