Subject: Fw: Bill 1610 new markup suggestion laws attached
We would agree to these changes if you would re draft this bill to include this I would be glad to pass it to the other Historic Abenaki Leaders to see if they would approve it. Please keep in mind Indian Arts and Craft need to be removed. There is no way to help the Indian Artist in any state without full recognition given to HISTORIC tribes. I suggest you just strike that out and please view the laws before including Indian Arts issues, burial ground issues etc. Please understand that I am only trying to help you. We have dealt with these mis-intrupted laws by State authorities for years and have worked tiredless with States and Federal Law makers.
Thank you
Chief Nancy Millette Doucet

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Ten
AN ACT establishing a New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs and recognizing the Historic Abenaki Nations and other American Indian residents as a minority population in the state of New Hampshire.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Subdivision; Department of Cultural Resources; New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs. Amend RSA 21-K by inserting after section 23 the following new subdivision:
New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs
21-K:24 New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs Established.
I. In order to recognize the historic and cultural contributions of Native Americans to New Hampshire, to protect and strengthen their own heritage, and to address their needs in state policy, programs, and actions, there is hereby established the New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs.
II. The commission shall consist of 7 members who are residents of New Hampshire and Native American community leaders representing the diversity of the states’ American Indian population. The governor and Executive Council shall appoint the initial members from a list of 15 candidates compiled by the New Hampshire Intertribal Native American Council on behalf of American Indian groups within the state NH Historic Resources, Commissioner of Cultural Affairs. Thereafter, the governor and Executive Council shall appoint members based on recommendations submitted by the commission. The Native American commission shall be nonpartisan. Each member of the commission shall serve a 3-year term, and no member shall serve more than 2 consecutive terms. Initial appointments by the governor and Executive Council shall be for staggered terms of one, 2, or 3 years.
III. The commission shall be vested with the authority to:
(a) Address issues common to Native Americans and persons of Native American descent who are residing in this state.
(b) Promote and protect Native American arts in New Hampshire. This is moot according to Federal Law.
(c) Develop guidelines and policies to assist state agencies with state and federal laws pertaining to Indian affairs, such as:
(1) Preservation and protection of Native American artifacts and burial grounds under Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990, P.L. 101-601.
(2) The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, 25 U.S.C., section 1902 et seq.
(3) The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, P.L. 101-644.
(d) Assist Native American tribal councils, organizations, and individuals to:
(1) Secure social services, education, employment opportunities, health care, housing, and census information.
(2) Permit the creation, display, and sale of Native American arts and crafts to legally label them as Indian- or Native American-produced, as provided in 18 U.S.C. section 1159(c)(3)(B) and 25 U.S.C. section 305e(d)(2). This is an illegal act. The State would have to give Full State Recognition to HISTORIC ABENAKI TRIBES in order to comply with this. This should be a strike out section.
(3) Receive assistance and support from the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Board, as provided in 25 U.S.C. section 305 et seq. The Historic Tribes would need full state recognition.
(4) Establish eligibility for federal assistance with educational, housing, and cultural opportunities.
(5) Establish and/or continue programs offered through the U.S. Department of Education Office on Indian Education pursuant to Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act established in 1972 to support educational and cultural efforts of tribal entities that have been either state or federally recognized. Historic Tribes would need FULL State Recognition.
IV. The commission shall meet at least 4 times a year and at any other times at the request of the chairperson. The chairperson of the commission shall be elected by a majority vote of the commission members. More meetings asked by any member of the commission and the commissioner should be appointed by Governor and Executive Council on recommendation from Cultural Resources and NH Historic Preservation.
V. The commission is authorized to accept any gifts, grants, or donations from any public or private source, provided that such gifts, grants, or donations shall be used exclusively to advance the commission’s purpose and duties. Members of the commission shall serve without compensation. Gifts can cause conflict of interest. No gifts, grants or donations. The Commission is in place to only assist Natives in the State.
VI. Beginning November 1, 2011, and each year thereafter, the commission shall submit an annual report of its activities, findings, and recommendations to the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, the senate president, the commissioner of the department of cultural resources, and the state library. Quarterly reports should be given to Department of Cultural Resources and annual to all other
VII. The commission shall be administratively attached to the department of cultural resources.
2 Recognition of Abenaki People.
I. The state of New Hampshire recognizes the Abenaki people and recognizes all Native American people who reside in New Hampshire as a minority population.
II. Recognition of the Native American or Abenaki people provided in paragraph I shall be for the sole purposes specified in section 1 of this act and shall not be interpreted to provide any Native American or Abenaki person with any other special rights or privileges that the state does not confer on or grant to other state residents. Abenaki People needs to be defined. Who is Abenaki? How do you decide who is Abenaki and who is not? According to United Nations Declaration of Indigenous People and Human Rights this is decided by Tribes not commissions or state departments. The Historic Abenaki Bands need to be defined here in order to comply with this. Indian Tribes are defined by a historic presence from contact time to present by regional connection to a land base and have a chief, tribal council, elder’s council and can show historic connection to community as well as present connection. Then only tribes can give citizenship based on their applicant approve to individuals. You need to define exact Abenaki Nations within NH by this standard and write in the names of those tribes.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

HB 1610-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT establishing a New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs and recognizing the Historic Abenaki Nations and other American Indian residents as a minority population in the state of New Hampshire.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Cultural Resources states this bill may increase state restricted revenue by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or on state, county, or local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Cultural Resources states this bill establishes a New Hampshire commission on Native American affairs. While the commission will be administratively attached to the Department of Cultural Resources, the Department states this will not cause an increase in cost as a result. The bill authorizes the newly established commission to accept any gifts, grants, or donations from any public or private source, provided that such gifts, grants, or donations shall be used exclusively to advance the commission’s purpose and duties. The Department states this authorization may lead to an increase in state restricted revenues in FY 2010 and each year thereafter.
NANCY MILLETTE DOUCET IS DOING THE SAME TATICS SHE DID IN VERMONT REGARDING THE "ABENAKI" RECOGNITION BILLS" IN THAT STATE, THIS TIME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
WHY DOES SHE MENTION CHARLES FRANCIS TRUE JR?
(BECAUSE HER RELATIVE RHONDA LOU BESAW - TRUE MARRIED TO HIM, THATS WHY!)
(BECAUSE HER RELATIVE RHONDA LOU BESAW - TRUE MARRIED TO HIM, THATS WHY!)
NONE OF THEM CAN GENEALOGICALLY CONNECT THEIR ANCESTORS TO A HISTORICAL ABENAKI/ NATIVE COMMUNITY FROM WITHIN NEW HAMPSHIRE OR VERMONT! AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL MERE INCORPORATIONS THAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED!
RESEARCH THIS BLOG'S CONTENT ASAP.
RESEARCH THIS BLOG'S CONTENT ASAP.
THE ONLY REASON NANCY DOUCET INSISTS, IN HER REVISION OF HB1610 THAT THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, NH HISTORIC RESOURCES AND COMMISSIONER OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS BE INVOLVED IN THIS HB1610 BILL IS BECAUSE OF HER RESPECTIVE "CONNECTIONS" WITH RAYMOND BURTON, AND RICHARD A. BOUSIVERT!
