00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.280
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.320
It's time now for our community connection
right here on K one, the

3
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.119
one you trust at. Our lovely
ladies in studio today are from the Delaware

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.960
Tribe of Indians. We have Lori
and Alyssa here. How are you doing,

5
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.760
ladies, I'm doing well. We
are doing good. Oh yeah,

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.359
don't be shy. The only radio
and TV. So we've got a lot

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:33.719
going on with the Delaware Tribe of
Indians because every month we get a visitor

8
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.960
in and we get updated on just
a wide variety of services that the tribe

9
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.000
offers to its members and sometimes to
folks outside the tribe too. But today

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.320
we're going to be talking about Family
and Children's Services, something that's kind of

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.719
been a bit of a hallmark or
what's been going on. So go ahead

12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.600
and tell us a little bit about
what's going on there. Okayleigan, I'm

13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.240
Lori Rose. I'm a domestic bonds
advocate for our department Family and Children's Services.

14
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.959
What's really awesome about the Delaware Tribe
is you do not have to be

15
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:15.519
native to receive our services. Excuse
me, it's okay. The only Native

16
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.439
specific department that we have within our
group is our EQUA, which is Indian

17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:27.319
child Welfare. It's native specific to
the Delaware tribe. Now, with the

18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.719
Family and Children's Services, it's more
than just a daycare. Oh absolutely,

19
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:41.000
there's a little key bit more than
the dare that. Absolutely. Within Family

20
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.599
and Children's Services, we have our
Domestic Violence division, we have child support,

21
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.959
and again we have IQUA which is
Indian Child Welfare, and we have

22
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.840
Transitional Housing. And Alyssa here is
our coordinator for our transitional housing program.

23
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.760
Let's go into that a little bit. I tell us, first of all,

24
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.200
what does that mean for folks who
are thinking the discratching their head go,

25
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.439
I think I know what it means, but what does it really mean?

26
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:12.159
Yeah, So, our Transitional hasing
program assists domestic violence survivors to get

27
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.439
back up on their feet, essentially
find their independence, heal through all the

28
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.719
trauma that they've been through. So
we can help with rental assistants from anywhere

29
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.919
from six months sometimes up to two
years, just depending on what their needs

30
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.520
are. And we offer other services
as well within that program, such as

31
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.479
like emergency financial assistance. Sometimes you
know, one month you can't pay bill,

32
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.000
so it's good to have those resources
for us to be able to help

33
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.840
out our clients in that way.
Well, my goodness, it's nice to

34
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.159
know that you're there because I know
that every so often we go through these

35
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.560
cycles where they say times are tough, and they're a little tough right now,

36
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.840
and it's nice to know that you're
there to help take care of the

37
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.759
tough times or at least help people
get through them. Yeah, And a

38
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.719
big problem that we've been seeing now
that you're talking about having tough times is

39
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.800
that it's hard to find a rental
property that's going to be within their budget

40
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.039
because ultimately we want them to be
able to afford it after they graduate from

41
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:21.199
our program. So it's really been
difficult to locate that housing. But we

42
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.319
me and our other advocate, Brittany, work really hard with our clients to

43
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.240
be able to locate their housing set
them up for success in any way that

44
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.919
we can. So you know that
that is something that's really you have to

45
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.439
look under a lot of rocks.
Oh yes, hey, to find that.

46
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.479
My family, we have some properties
in other states and we always try

47
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.599
to meet that need where it's right
there. And I'm glad that you're doing

48
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.680
that too, you know, it's
really easy to say just like a house

49
00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:00.360
payment, especially after paid for,
but that search is really something else.

50
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.759
Now. The Delaware trib we have
a campus right down the road on Tuxedo.

51
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.680
That's a beautiful bill. That's a
nice setup you got there, that's

52
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.439
very nice. Yeah, it's definitely
grown over the years, I will say,

53
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.160
Yeah, everybody there's worked really hard
to make it to what it is

54
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.439
now. Because I think even we
haven't even had our food pature. You

55
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.600
said that you talked to Sunny last
year. Yeah, yeah, we haven't

56
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.839
had that for maybe even a year
yet, maybe getting close to it,

57
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.000
But that's a new addition. There's
always a project in the works, and

58
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.759
I think it's great that they're expanding
the way they are. Oh yeah,

59
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:41.519
yeah, we can get physically fit
now too. And yeah, indoors is

60
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.959
supposed to taking a walk around the
pond, you know, get a little

61
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:53.279
chilly for that. Yes, but
the Delaware Tribal Courts serves not only Bartlesville,

62
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.480
but the whole tribal area. What
does that consist of? Yes,

63
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.040
so our department actually to Canie,
Kansas. You did, because we are

64
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:09.639
that is part of the Delaware Tribe
on the land and yeah, it's not

65
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.079
like states. I mean it is, but it isn't. But the the

66
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.759
tribal boundaries are different than the the
federal and you know state states. Looked

67
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.480
like, Yeah, we have a
new mobile advocate that will be going to

68
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:31.959
Montgomery County LaVette and talk with and
so she will go out and she will

69
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.959
deliver the same services that we offer. So if she's getting out into the

70
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:43.800
rural communities to help with protective orders
and if they need housing or any other

71
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:49.240
resources that we can help provide them
with partnering agencies within those counties. So

72
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.680
it's it's pretty exciting. It's new
for us. She's just now kind of

73
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.959
getting out there and we've made a
lot of connections and some new friends.

74
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.240
It's been really great. Now are
you doing the same thing too with housing?

75
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.639
Are you you're just not stuck in
the in the city limits right?

76
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.279
No, absolutely not. We have
the same service areas. So we serve

77
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.480
the counties in Kansas, Montgomery County, Lubette County's Chutagola County, and then

78
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.519
our counties in Oklahoma also are Washington
County Nowadah County, Craig County, Rogers

79
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.360
County, and I think like North
Tulsa County, there's like a small cut

80
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.439
off there. But yeah, so
our service area is actually a lot bigger

81
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.680
than many people thought. Oh yeah, a lot of folks thought it was

82
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.360
just basically, you know, a
little bit of no Wad, a whole

83
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:43.800
lot of Washington and it's not.
It's yeah, it's absolutely a lot of

84
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.120
achories. You have to cover their
ladies a lot of miles, but it's

85
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.399
still it's all worth it, and
it's wonderful. I was telling the ladies

86
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.959
in a green room. We really
don't have a green room, but we

87
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.600
like to pretend it's big time television. That your website is so easy to

88
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.199
navigate. And I don't know who
put it together, but there's a lot

89
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.199
of information on there, and it
gets updated regularly. And I just want

90
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.759
to say thank you, because a
lot of folks sometimes when they go to

91
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.319
a website, they really don't know
how to click and go and everything.

92
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.639
But this is so easy. I'm
an old guy and I can figure it

93
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.600
out, you know, So it
just just hey, thanks, It's a

94
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.600
it's a wonderful thing. It's very
easier friendly. It is. It is

95
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.600
very easier friendly, and I think
are sweet Dana. I think she's the

96
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.399
one that navigates all of that,
and I'm not entirely sure, but yeah,

97
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:42.240
it's very easy. And for anyone
who doesn't know, it's delawaretribe dot

98
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:48.000
org. Go check it out.
She did that. Just let it right

99
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.000
in there you go, and your
Facebook pages. It seems like many of

100
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.600
the different departments have their own Facebook
pages so you don't get lost in that,

101
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.040
right. There's a lot of things
going on with each department and the

102
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.240
tribes, so it is beneficial to
have every department have their own page because

103
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.399
otherwise you probably get lost and you
really lost. Yeah. Yeah, it's

104
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.680
like Okay, I thought I saw
something here, and oh where to go?

105
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.480
You know, because everybody would be
trying to get their their new thing

106
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.600
out there. But if you want
to look at for a little consistency,

107
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.720
just find the department you want,
follow their social media and they'll usually take

108
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.800
you back to the website from time
to time. But that's the way you

109
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.600
get the messages out fast and realize. Yeah, and I think we're really

110
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.440
big into outreach as well. We
want people in our community to know that

111
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.039
we're here for them to support them, help them in any way that we're

112
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.559
able to. So it's a really
big thing social media nowadays. So yeah,

113
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.600
my kids asked me, they said, Dad, you know how old

114
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:58.120
were you when Facebook came about forty
nine? Yeah, and oh really potter

115
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.120
for old people. But there's there's
other stuff. I don't quite understand.

116
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.080
The they call that the TikTok and
Instagram. I think I get that one

117
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:20.039
a little bit. But Axe and
that that snappy chat I my brain.

118
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.639
I can't wrap. I'm glad you
guys have to wear with all the oh

119
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.200
you know, I'm not so sure, but yeah, there's a lot.

120
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.080
But anyway, once again, tell
it's where your campus is located for those

121
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.080
who haven't. Yeah, so we
have a Barswell campus. It's right off

122
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.200
Tuxedo. You passed by the pretty
little dug pond over there, and then

123
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.519
are right across from the fire station. Yeah, right across from the fire

124
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.240
station. That's it's called location location, the corner of Tuxedo and Madison.

125
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.720
Ye. And then our Canny branch
is in you know, Candy, Kansas.

126
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.120
Obviously, it's located at six oh
one South High Street. So that's

127
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.919
easy to fin Yeah, we're there
from eight to five. Ye. All

128
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.679
right, So if anybody has any
questions, they can just find any variety

129
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:13.159
of different ways or just absolutely they
can send us Facebook messages, you know,

130
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.919
they can call the office, the
headquarters here, they could get to

131
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:24.159
us. We do have a twenty
four to seven crisis phone. Yes,

132
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.279
and that number is three three seven
seven three two nine. Sounds right,

133
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.720
all right, very good, It
is very good. You know, it's

134
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.159
nice to get these things out there
because so often people just kind of go

135
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.480
through their day to day like a
boy. Jean wonderfac Oh. Wow,

136
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.120
there's a helpful thing, and that's
great to know that you are there to

137
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.120
help. It really is a wonderful
thing. Appreciate you both being on here.

138
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.320
Anything else we might that I might
have missed because I miss a lot

139
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.639
when well, I'm coming up on
December twenty second, we will be at

140
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.399

Day of Blessing. So we will have

141
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.200
a table there. So come out

services or we sure love to visit with

143
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.320

out there. So if we know,

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.759
we want to know anything about housing, we want to know anything about family

145
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.600
and Children's Services. Ideally, we
hope to have somebody from each department that

146
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.840
we never know how crazy our day
is going to be. Yeah, but

147
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.519
yes, myself and Alyssa and I
believe my coordinator Crystal will will be there

148
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.919
too. And that's a great way
to get out. Yeah, you know,

149
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.120
I like that day of blessing.
