High Lookee, ECE updates at Council
3-sport camp coming up
High Lookee Lodge direc-
tor Jolene Switzler met with
Tribal Council last week, up-
dating Council on develop-
ments at the lodge. Recent
improvements at High
Lookee have been okayed by
inspectors, Switzler said.
There are 20 residents at
the lodge, with room for up
to 50, she said. Some out-
reach in the region could
bring in additional residents,
as many people are not aware
of the services provided by
High Lookee, Switzler said.
People at assisted living
homes could see cost savings,
as High Lookee has payment
options that are not always
available elsewhere, she said.
Switzler has been director of
the lodge for about a year.
Councilman Carlos Smith
mentioned that there could be
cost savings with meals
through use of providers
available through Kah-Nee-
Ta. They agreed to share in-
formation on this.
Councilman
Reuben
Henry asked whether some
effort is made to take the
residents on excursions away
from the lodge. Switzler said
High Lookee is working on
increasing field trips available
to residents. Also last week:

Victory in
casino case
The U.S. Supreme
Court says Michigan
can’t block the opening
of an Indian casino.
The high court dis-
agreed with Michigan
officials who want to
shutter the Bay Mills
Indian Community’s ca-
sino about 90 miles
south of its Upper Pen-
insula reservation.
Michigan argued that
the tribe opened the ca-
sino in 2010 without per-
mission from the U.S.
government and in viola-
tion of a state compact.
A federal judge
agreed and issued an in-
junction ordering the
casino closed in 2011.
But the 6th Circuit
Court of Appeals threw
the injunction out after
ruling that the court
lacked jurisdiction over
some claims, and that
the tribe also has sover-
eign immunity.
The Supreme Court
said in 5-4 ruling that the
state’s lawsuit against the
casino is barred by tribal
sovereign immunity.

and Dr. Elizabeth McDougall
from the Head Start office
of training and technical as-
sistance.
Dr. McDougall gave an
explanation of funding mat-
ters related to the War m
Springs Head Start operation.
Most of the Head Start bud-
get comes from the federal
Head Start program, with a
required Tribal Match of
20%.
The funds go mostly to-
ward personnel, who operate
nine center based classrooms
serving 126 children in Head
Start and 34 children in the
Early Head Start home-based
program.
The tribal funding match
can be made up through in-
kind contributions. Some of
McDougall and Hisatake’s
presentation was in regard to
the in-kind aspect of the fund-
ing.
For instance, volunteer
work at Head Start can go
toward the tribal match. “We
would love to have more vol-
unteers,” Hisatake said.
There are many ways to
achieve this, she said. For in-
stance, Head Start can host
an “adopt a plot” project
where people can volunteer
to work a garden area around
the center. Their time and
effort can go toward the
match.
McDougall also reviewed
the requirement of Tribal
Council participation in the
Head Start program. The
Council has liaisons who at-
tend Head Start meetings,
and Hisatake and other Head
Start members meet with
Council on a regular basis,
keeping the leadership in-
volved in and aware of the
issues facing the program.
