WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:12.839 Good morning, good morning morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's time 2 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.359 now for our community connection right here on Kay one, the one you trust, 3 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.280 and it's being brought to you by Wesley and Kitty College, Arnold Moore, 4 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.519 Niecamp Funeral Home, gat Reel Ministries, and Tall Grass Motors. Well 5 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.320 we have with is here, our friend here from the Delaware Tribe of Indians. 6 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.679 Introduce yourself to everyone once again. Yeah, yeah, So my name 7 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.399 is Devin with and I've worked at the Delaware Tribe of Indians for coming up 8 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.640 on two years now, two years. They keep me around. Well that's 9 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.200 a good thing because you do a great job every time. He's the most 10 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.039 prepared person I know. We've got the big spring gathering. It was, 11 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.880 I guess originally known as the Native Art Market. Tell us a little bit 12 00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:00.600 about it. Yeah, So the event starts tomorrow at nine am. And 13 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.880 this is actually the craziest event I've ever heard of because we're not stopping until 14 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.359 ten o'clock at night. Now, what are you going to do during that 15 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.560 time? A lot, a lot. So one of the beautiful things that 16 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.799 we're going to be doing is the ten thousand egg Easter egg hunt. Now 17 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.719 normally you'd be like, oh, Devin, this is going to be chaos. 18 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.239 This can't work. But one of the beautiful things that we're doing is 19 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.400 that we're actually spreading it up among age groups. So depending on what age 20 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.879 you're in, you're going to be in this part of the field. Since 21 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.760 we have the travel ground spread out where so instead of a free for all 22 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.719 like you're used to seeing at Easter egg hunts, we're actually trying to coordinate 23 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.879 this thing, right, yeah, Gota, So there won't be big kids 24 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.799 knocking little kids down, the little kids being up ship because they can't find 25 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.959 an egg. It is a little bit enjoyable. The sea kids get run 26 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.879 over, but without that time. No, this is going to be up 27 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.799 there at the complex at Tuxedo. Yeah, yes, sir, at fifty 28 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.799 one hundred Tuxedo Boulevard. All you have to do is just tie in Delaware 29 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.920 Tribe of Indians to any Google Maps and you're coming right to us. Can 30 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.120 anybody show up for this year? Do you have to be a travel remember 31 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.680 what's the deal? So that is one of the beautiful things about this too, 32 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.400 is that we're making this a community wide event. We want everyone in 33 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:19.759 Bartlesville Oceleda Caney anyone in this area to come to our event and hang out 34 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.520 with us. Oh man, this is great. Now, I understand that 35 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.520 you got a breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And because if you're going 36 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.240 to be going there from like nine am to about ten pm, I guess 37 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.159 somebody's gotta get hungry. Right. Oh and let me tell you, Trudy 38 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.400 is phenomenal at the food that she makes. And I didn't recommend biscuits and 39 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.000 gravy, but let me tell you, I'm the biggest fan. And one 40 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.520 of the other things too that we're doing because I do want to make sure 41 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.840 people understand this. We are selling the food, so it's not going to 42 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.319 be like a free food type situation. But I promise you it's the best 43 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.199 ten bucks you'll ever spend. Yes walking tacos, you got the funnel cakes, 44 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.879 candy bars, popcorns, cookies, strawberry and whipped cream, cinnamon apples, 45 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.520 carmel drizzle, classic powdered sugar, funnel cakes. Now you got my 46 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.039 favorite food roofs there. And here's the thing too, that is my food 47 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.520 pyramid. I don't know about y'all, but I'm there and you say funnel 48 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.120 cakes, and I'm just aware and kind of take that step further too. 49 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.120 The Indian tacos that she makes are just out of this world. You know. 50 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.439 I don't know how she isn't world famous yet for that. So if 51 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.319 you haven't, we'll get there. Yeah, and so if you haven't had 52 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.879 an Indian taco, definitely this is the time to try it. Now I 53 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.039 understand. We also have a cornhole tournament that gets underway about one in the 54 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.560 afternoon. Yeah, yes, sir, so the corn the cornhole tournament. 55 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.240 It's going to be fifteen dollars to play. We are paying the top three 56 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.319 players out the out of the pot. And then the biggest thing I would 57 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.280 say, especially if you're a cornhole fan, just make sure you download the 58 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.520 score Hoolio app, which is a fun word to say, by the way, 59 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.919 but on there it will give a complete breakdown of the brackets how it's 60 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.960 all going to work, and we'll keep track of the score for you. 61 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.599 It's a really cool app. I haven't been involved in cornhole before, but 62 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:09.000 I download this thing and I'm blown away. So it's pretty turn good. 63 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.800 Now I understand we have some evening entertainment. It's really good very and very 64 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.959 traditional, and that's actually the highlight of the night because one of the things 65 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.800 we want to do is kind of show what the tribe's about. And so 66 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.279 we are going to have some stomp dancing and shell shaking going on at seven 67 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.079 pm. And my best recommendation for that is just bring a long chair and 68 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.759 your appetite. You're gonna have fun and you're gonna learn something too. Now, 69 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.639 I want to go back to this egg hut that we're doing here because 70 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.639 we're doing this in groups, and this is what the Delaware Tribe of Indians 71 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.560 first annual spring gathering. It's gonna be up there at the complex right throwing 72 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.920 the East tuxedo. So we've got the age group one to three year olds. 73 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.639 It's called hop on over right there at noon, So these are little 74 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.000 guys and gals. And just so people are aware, the egg hunt is 75 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.160 going to start at noon, and we're doing it in segments. So if 76 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.360 you're one of those parents out there that has a three year old, a 77 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.800 seven year old, look for their ten year old, look for the right 78 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.399 grouping. It'll be fun watching you run from space to space to try and 79 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.399 make it in time. They'll get appetite. Now we got the four to 80 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:26.279 six year olds, they'll go at twelve twenty, and my goodness, sakes 81 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.160 seven to nine year olds. I like the way you really kind of made 82 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.600 these close in proximity seven to nine. You got some seven year olds you 83 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.199 could pass his nine year olds these days? What the kids are eating these 84 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.759 days? I got a beautiful daughter who sometimes as I'm having conversations, whether 85 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.240 I'm like, are you thirteen? Yeah? Yeah, they'll get that way, 86 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.160 yeah, oh believe me they will. And then at ten to twelve 87 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.000 year olds will go at one o'clock. That's gonna be a lot of fun. 88 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.319 It's huge. You know. I can't tell you guys enough how big 89 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.560 of an opportunity this is to get out there. And we didn't even really 90 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.319 touch on the native art market. Now that part we got to get into 91 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.399 that because I think that's where that's where a lot of folks are going to 92 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.680 be bringing the wallet and saying, I'm going to take home some cool stuff. 93 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.120 And so I do want to make sure and shout out the Lenape Reserve 94 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.839 and our Teton trade Cloth because they are going to be hosting special discounts specifically 95 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.040 for this event. So if you're not familiar with either one of those. 96 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.720 We have a lot of accessories and items of native apparel that I think almost 97 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.959 anyone would love to wear. I think they're beautiful works of art. So 98 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.639 how we're doing it is, if you're a Delaware tribal member, then the 99 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.600 vendor set up is free. You don't have to pay a dime. Just 100 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.639 bring your stuff and set up. If you're a nationally not nationally, but 101 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.839 if you are a other tribal member, Cherokee, Chalked or whatever, then 102 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.600 it's going to be I believe, ten dollars. Yeah, And then if 103 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.920 you're a non native, because we do want to make this open to the 104 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.199 public, twenty dollars. And just so people are aware too, because I 105 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.680 do want to make sure and plug her phone number if you're interested in, 106 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.000 whether it's volunteering for the event because someone's going to watch these kids, or 107 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:18.600 if you're wanting to get my ball, I'll watch. That's true, but 108 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.079 we're really going so since it is open to the public, we want to 109 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.720 make sure that everyone's aware that bring your stuff, you know, let people 110 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.720 see the wares and the peril that you got. It's gonna be a fantastic 111 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.600 time. And Emily's phone number is Yes, So Emily, he AND's phone 112 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:41.920 number is nine one eight four four zero zero eight six four. I'll say 113 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.120 that one more time, nine one eight four four zero zero eight six four. 114 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.240 And you can reach out to her with any questions that you have, 115 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.120 as well as signing up for volunteering or if you're wanting to be a vendor. 116 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.959 But this is it's a huge opportunity, especially I don't know about you. 117 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.160 On saturdayays, I usually struggle on what am I going to do well? 118 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.680 For once in my life, I have something I can tell you know, 119 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.120 friends and family. Hey, I'm booked today from nine in the morning 120 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.920 until ten at night. Join me if you want to have five Yes, 121 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.720 this is really gonna be great. Now, the complex, what's the address. 122 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.480 It's fifty one hundred, Yeah, fifty one hundred Toxedo Boulevard right here 123 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.040 in Bartlesville, America. You got it. But you got that. And 124 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.080 now that's a huge complex as far as ACREAG is concerned. So don't worry 125 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.279 about the kids going nuts over there with the East egg there will be plenty 126 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.639 of room for ten thousand eggs. Well, and we're gonna have a gigantic 127 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.320 one was what we call them, like carnival type tent. It's gonna be 128 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.200 great, and there there's gonna be plenty of refreshments throughout the day. You 129 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.759 know, I don't know about you guys, but for me, it's always 130 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:58.559 been biscuits and gravy in the morning. That's just my go to and a 131 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.480 top it off with some orange juice. Come on, here you go. 132 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.080 But then to really drive it home though, this is a very family oriented 133 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.440 event, so we're hoping that we can get a lot of the Bartlesville community. 134 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.639 Now. The other beautiful thing is because we're in a smaller town, 135 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.799 there is going to be other events going on during that day or during the 136 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.120 day, but we want to make it open to everyone. So even if 137 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.840 you're going to another place to hunt some Easter eggs, make sure you swing 138 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.000 by because I promise you it's worth it. Oh yeah, that'd be great. 139 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.960 And then to spend the rest of the day doing some shopping and then 140 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.039 learning a few things about the Delaware tribe. You know, you guys have 141 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.960 a wonderful website and you have I think a couple of Facebook pages, let 142 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.399 me tell you. Yeah, and it's always growing. We're actually in the 143 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.200 process of really trying to coordinate and drill down on messaging from the Facebook aspect 144 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.840 of it, because we have so many followers on there that are actively engaged. 145 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.360 So I'm really excited to see what we can do with that. And 146 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.240 then overall just the tribe. It seems like you a every time we leave 147 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.759 here we come back, it's like there's there's something new going on. And 148 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.080 that's what makes it so great because it's a very unique place. And I'll 149 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.399 tell you I enjoy going there. Why not. I mean it's beautiful. 150 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.799 I mean, you guys are at none. I think some help. The 151 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.399 fitness stuff in a food pantry is being expanded there, and you've got you're 152 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.039 just growing like crazy. Well, and you know, you look at something 153 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.399 like the Lenape Early Learning Center and the amazing work that they're doing with our 154 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.759 children. My son actually goes there and one of the cool things that they 155 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.320 do and I'm sure other places have it too, but they have an app 156 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.720 where they send messages to you, pictures, whatever, kind of giving you 157 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.159 an update on how your child's doing that day. And at three, they're 158 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.679 already working with them to get them prepared for pre K and I'm sure a 159 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.919 lot of daycares do that. That's probably common practice. But as a parent 160 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.600 to actually see the progress that your child's making and for them to show that, 161 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.600 I think that's incredible. So I can't tell you enough good things about 162 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.320 that program. It is absolutely wonderful. And if you want to learn more, 163 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.159 just go to the website. It'll break it down by department and agency 164 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.399 and everything else.
