UNITY announces it's 2019-2021
OJJDP Peer Guides Cohort
Mesa, AZ- May 20, 2019 – UNITY welcomes twelve young leaders who have been selected to participate in UNI-
TY’s Peer Guide program; designed and built on the successes of the organization’s previous Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) National Intertribal Youth Leadership efforts and Today’s Native
Leaders program. The three-year program will support and enhance Native youth engagement, coordination, and
action related to community support systems and cultural approaches to restorative justice, with a focus on juve-
nile justice and delinquency prevention in Indian country.
“UNITY is pleased to announce this partnership with OJJDP. We are looking forward to providing Native youth
with the opportunities made possible through the Intertribal Youth Development Initiative. I encourage Native
youth and youth-serving programs throughout Native America to take part in this impactful three-year project,”
said Mary Kim Titla, UNITY Executive Director.
With mentoring and training focused on delinquency prevention and juvenile justice issues in Indian Country, the
cohort will serve as project advisors and peer trainers to lead other Native youth through a series of six regional
gatherings and webinars; providing technical assistance for youth-developed projects over the next three years.

Wild mushrooms are abundant in many areas of the country, especially after a rainy
spell. Wild mushrooms pop up in our lawns and under around wood and many other
damp places. Some of these mushrooms are dangerous to eat; a few can even kill
you.
How can you tell the difference between an edible wild mushroom and a poisonous
one? Unless you are very experienced in mushroom identification, you can't!! There
are a lot of mushroom look-alikes. Poison Control help many people with mushroom
poisoning. Almost all of them were sure they were picking a safe mushroom.
It is NEVER safe to eat wild mushrooms. It is important to watch children playing
outdoors so they don't eat mushrooms; after all, to a child it just looks like din-
ner!
Symptoms of mushroom poisoning vary with the type of mushroom eaten. Many wild mushrooms will cause vomiting and
diarrhea; that could lead to dehydration and an emergency room visit. Others can interact with alcohol to cause severe
stomach upset, headache, and high blood pressure. Some can cause hallucinations and coma. A few cause no effects right
away, but can damage the liver; a liver transplant may be necessary to survive.
Here are some safety tips for wild mushrooms:
NEVER pick and eat wild mushrooms unless they've been identified by an expert!
Look-alike mushrooms can fool you. Learning how to identify mushrooms in one part of the country or another country
is not reliable for identifying mushrooms in another area.
Cooking doesn't make a poisonous mushroom safe. In fact, you can be poisoned by breathing in the cooking fumes
from some poisonous mushrooms.
Even non-poisonous mushrooms can cause unpleasant reactions in people who are sensitive to them.
Symptoms from eating poisonous mushrooms can be delayed for many hours.
If you think that someone has eaten a wild mushroom, call Poison Control right away at 1-800-222-1222. Poison special-
ists will tell you exactly what to do. They will work with mycologists (mushroom identification experts) to find out what kind
of mushroom it is. They will also work with the emergency room staff
so you can get proper treatment.
WELCOME CONGRESSMAN PAUL COOK
On May 26, 2019 the Bishop Paiute Tribe was honored to be the host Tribe to meet Congressman Paul
Cook. Congressman Cook currently represents California’s 8th District which includes Inyo and Mono
County. The Bishop Tribe also provided all the Tribes in the Owens Valley and Mono County with an in-
vitation as well. The meet and greet session was a successful event. Congressman Paul Cook has support-
ed the Tribes in the 8th Congressional District with various initiatives that required legislative action. Cur-
rently Congressman Cook is sponsoring HR 2128 TANF
Fairness Act 2019. The session also included a tour of the
TIHP Clinic where Congressman Cook supported the USDA
loan efforts. Congressman Cook also visited the Cultural
Center and was emotionally surprised when viewing our Vet-
erans Memorial. Congressman Cook is a retired Marine Corp
Col. with 26 years of service. It was an honor to host this
event. From Left to right: Councilman Jeff Romero, Miss
Bishop Paiute Tribe Jordan Frankson, Tribal Chairman Allen

The ROSS Program News
(Resident Opportunity & Self-Sufficiency)
MANAHUU TRIBAL COMMUNITY
The hot summer months are upon us, and with that, a reminder to drink plenty of paya and keep cool.
The ROSS Program is collaborating with various departments to develop and create a life-skills program
for young adults between the ages of 12-17. The program will begin on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 from
10:00am-1:00pm and will conclude on Wednesday, August 7, 2019. Tuesdays will be geared towards the
girls and Wednesday for the boys.
The program will teach the youth on how to grow a small garden, bead, sew, arrowhead flint napping and
drum stick making. They will also learn the importance of kitchen safety along with food preparation. The
last day, a homemade meal will be prepared for their families.
The ROSS Program participated in the Elder Abuse Awareness event held at the Bishop Tribal Elders.
The presenters were informative and provided the elders with support and resources. At the conclusion, a
prayer was held, and purple ballons were released in rememberance of the 158 reported abuse victims.
Also, the ROSS program will be traveling with CDD Housing staff members, Tennille and Gaylene to at-
tend the NAIHC Pathways Home Training from July 15-19, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona.

BISHOP PAIUTE TRIBAL COURT
The court sponsored an Advocate Meet and Greet on Wednesday, June 19, 2019, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The purpose was to give the Advocates an opportunity to inform the community on how they can assist
them in Tribal Court. Advocates Teri Red Owl and Wanda Summers were present to meet and talk with
community members.
Advocates are not Tribal Court employees; however, they have received extensive training on the Bishop
Paiute Tribe’s ordinances, court procedure and passed a Tribal Court Advocate Exam. The cost of ser-
vices provided by an Advocate are arranged between the client and the Advocate. When necessary the
Tribal Court Judge can appoint an Advocate to a case if he feels there is need. The Tribal Court Office
has a list of the Advocates that are eligible to represent individuals in Tribal Court. The Court staff can-
not recommend an Advocate; you must choose for yourself.
We would like to thank Teri and Wanda for taking time out of their busy day to attend our first meet and
greet for Advocates. We plan on having a meet and greet for Advocates at least twice a year to give Advo-
cates time to meet and answer questions from the community.
The raffle drawing for the Tribal Court Community Survey was con-
ducted at this event. We would like to thank everyone who complet-
ed a survey. Information received from the survey will help in the
development of the Juvenile Healing to Wellness Program (Drug
Court). Winners of this raffle were:
BBQ – Renna Shepardson
Beach Cruiser (bicycle) – Patricia Cunha
$100.00 Certificate for the Meat House – Alysa Chartraw
$25.00 Certificate for Paiute Gas Station – Camile Talavera
Thank you to everyone who participated in these two events.

FROM THE AIR PROGRAM
Indoor Air Quality Resources
The Air Program is making available some (new and existing) publications about indoor air quality. For any of these and other infor-
mation, stop by the Air Office at EMO-A, call 760-784-9308, or browse the web links below at your leisure. It’s a lot of information, so
we are here to help you gain understanding of any of it.
https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/care-your-air-guide-indoor-air-quality-printable-version
https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/should-you-have-air-ducts-your-home-cleaned
https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/air-cleaners-and-air-filters-home-printable
Indoor air pollutants often source from within a building, depending on the local situation. These can include:
• Fuel-burning combustion appliances (including woodstoves)
• Tobacco products
• Deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation
• Newly installed flooring, upholstery or carpet
• Cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products
• Products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies
• Central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices
• Excess moisture
Some notable exceptions are outdoor sources such as wildfire smoke, winter inversion smoke, windblown dust, pesticides, radon (from
soil or water), and if applicable, radiation. (US EPA treats radiation separately to indoor air pollutants)
There are three basic strategies to improve indoor air quality: (see links above or below)
Source control
Improved ventilation
Air cleaners
Here is a list of potential “source control” action items a resident can take to improve indoor air quality. For an in-depth (and lengthy!)
description of these and more, see info at https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/inside-story-guide-indoor-air-quality
Don’t smoke cigarettes inside.
Install and use exhaust fans over gas cooking stoves and ranges and keep the burners properly adjusted.
Choose properly sized new woodstoves that are certified as meeting EPA emission standards.
Avoid or take special precautions when operating fuel-burning unvented space heaters.
Have central air systems including furnaces, flues, chimneys, inspected annually and promptly repair cracks or damaged parts.
Evaporation trays in air conditioners, dehumidifiers and refrigerators should be cleaned frequently.
Install and use exhaust fans that are vented to the outdoors in kitchens and bathrooms and vent clothes dryers outdoors.
Track dirt and dust as little as possible into the home.
Keep the house clean as much as possible of house dust mites, pollen, animal dander.
Fix roof leaks and plumbing leaks/blockages as soon as possible; inspect for leaks periodically.
Keep areas where children play as dust-free and clean as possible.
Don’t burn painted wood since it may contain lead.
Leave lead-based paint undisturbed if it is in good condition - don’t sand or burn off paint that may contain lead.
Keep exposure to a minimum for products containing known carcinogens: paint/glue strippers, spray paint, dry-cleaned clothes,
car exhaust, cigarette smoke, moth repellants, and MDF wood products.
Throw away partially full containers of old or unneeded chemicals safely, and buy limited quantities.
Follow label instructions and appliance instructions carefully.
Use non-chemical methods of pest control when possible.
Don’t cut, rip, or sand asbestos-containing materials.
Thoroughly clean and dry water-damaged carpets and building materials (within 24 hours if possible), possibly replace them.
Use a home radon test kit, available from a hardware store.

The Bishop Paiute Tribe would like to recognize our
2018-2019 college/vocational graduates:
Kyria Jack
Samantha Stone
When Lakota Robinson-Sanada got on a greyhound bus to visit
Southwestern Oregon Community College after high school, she was
looking for a chance to redeem herself.
As an athlete, she reached her peak in her junior year of high school
playing basketball before it all came to a painful halt when she tore
her ACL. Throughout senior year, she looked on to college as the
place to get back on track.
Robinson-Sanada put together a recruiting website and focused on
applying to community colleges in Washington state and Oregon so
she wouldn’t be far from her family in Idaho.
Then after a coach at SWOCC invited her to visit, she boarded a
greyhound bus to ride 26 hours to see the campus. She was also of-
fered a full-ride basketball scholarship, but instead took the academic
scholarship offered through SWOCC to any student who received a
3.75 GPA or higher. In high school, she had a 3.98 so she knew her
education would be paid for in full.
“I also took the academic over the basketball one in case something
happened,” she said.
That bus ride was two years ago. Now, Robinson-Sanada stood be-
fore her peers at graduation on Friday, June 14 and spoke about pa-
tience.
“As a society, we want things now, we are impatient, but at college
it’s not instant,” she said. “You have to work to get to the end goal.
You have to study, put in the effort and that’s not instant. You won’t
immediately obtain the information you need and people should be
proud of what they do. A junior college is no different than a four-
Lakota Robinson year. You still put in the same dedication, you put in that hard work,
and you should be proud.”
10 Continue on next pageWhen asked if she felt she had redeemed herself, the 20-year-old graduate said no.
“I’ve played sports my whole life and am very aggressive,” she said. “I sacrifice myself for the team.”
Because of this, during her first year at SWOCC she partially tore her ACL at the beginning of pre-season. She came
back halfway through pre-season and played the second half, but once the season started she got a concussion two
games in. Halfway through the season, she injured her thumb but kept playing until it eventually broke.
“I sat out the last two weeks because they wanted to reserve me for the next year, because they knew I was staying,” she
said. “I didn’t have a hot freshmen season and though this year would be it, but decided to play soccer.”
But that’s when things took a turn for the worse. This past September during her last soccer game, she was moved to the
forward position. Robinson-Sanada was running for the ball when another player hit her from the side.
“I jarred my head the wrong way and got a severe concussion,” she said. “I went to the hospital for a CT scan. Luckily
there was no bleeding, but I wasn’t able to go to school because I couldn’t focus or remember and was advised to go
home.”
When she went back to Idaho, having to skip fall semester, she did rehab for a month and a half. Luckily her academics
weren’t impacted by this, since she was already on track to graduate.
But it was the end of her athletic career.
“In the beginning, I was in denial,” she remembered. “I will never be able to play a contact sport again because the next
one could cause damage and be life threatening. I didn’t want it to be the end though.”
She has still played sports recreationally but realized she can’t control where people’s elbows go. She's been hit in the
head a couple times that brought up concussion-like symptoms like being lightheaded and dizzy.
“So that’s something I have to be careful about because one wrong hit could be it,” she said.
The 4.0 student has now graduated with her Associates of Arts in Oregon Transfer Degree and also an Associates in
General Studies. While attending SWOCC, she not only played sports but worked as a resident assistant where she
helped students with any problems they faced, put on events for the student housing, and did health and safety checks to
ensure the living quarters were clean.
"I made sure they weren't living in filth," she said.
She also was vice president in the Associative Student Government that put on events for SWOCC, oversaw student
directors and attended Oregon Community College Student Association meetings.
But now as she leaves SWOCC, she looks to attend Idaho State University to minor in physical therapy and major in
athletic training.
“I will go home and work on those programs, still have six more years of school, and that’s okay,” she said. “I’ve been
in multiple athletic training rooms and many physical therapy offices, I’ve experienced hands-on the work they do and
the help they provide. From what I’ve been through, I will be able to empathize and share stories and help them under-
stand the importance of rehabbing your body, sitting out and letting it heal so you can go play at 100 percent.”
Not only that, but working in those fields allow her to keep sports in her life without participating in them.
When she spoke at graduation, not only did she talk about patience but she also talked about the second lesson in col-
lege: failure.
“With failure you can decide to either stay down and wallow in self-pity or tell yourself you will accomplish this, get up
and work on it,” Robinson-Sanada said. “With failure comes growth. When you fail, you learn who you are and who we
want to be. Without failure, we wouldn’t go anywhere.”

12INYO COUNTY, BISHOP PAIUTE TRIBE REACH SETTLEMENT
In March 2015, the Bishop Paiute Tribe sued Inyo County after one of its police officers was arrested and prosecuted for
doing his job on the reservation. The sheriff’s department also threatened to arrest other officers for the same reasons. A
federal judge dismissed the case barely four months later. The federal judge said the Tribes complaint failed to raise a
“justiciable case or controversy.” The Tribe appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and dismissal was overturned
in a unanimous decision by a panel of three judges, “the case can proceed” because it addresses an “actual and imminent
threat” to the Tribes sovereignty and its police department. In early May of 2019, the Bishop Paiute Tribe and Inyo
County tentatively settled at a mandatory settlement conference conducted by a federal magistrate in Bakersfield, Cali-
fornia. Since then the parties have worked together to craft a final settlement document, which was recently signed and
memorializes the parties’ agreement on five points of law. The settlement acknowledges and confirms the Bishop
Tribe’s inherent authority to establish a law enforcement department to investigate and enforce violations within the
boundaries of the Bishop Paiute Indian Reservation. Tribes across the nation were following this case intensely. Now
that this case is settled, Public Law 280 Tribes will now have support for their inherent authority to sustain and maintain
their law enforcement departments. This was a long and costly process; however, the Bishop Tribe is vindicated, and
satisfied with the outcome. On behalf of the Bishop Paiute Tribal Council they would like to acknowledge all the past
and present Tribal Council members that maintained this course of action. Also, a special thanks to CILS Attorney Dor-
othy Alther for getting us across the finish line. Case closed!
