Benefit Dance Flyer

Concho, OK – The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes have received more than $15 Million from Chesapeake Energy Corporation as part of a mutual resolution of severance taxes.

“The funds came at a very opportune time for our tribal members,” said Governor Janice Prairie Chief-Boswell. “We are very appreciative to Chesapeake for working with us on this matter. The prompt response has enabled us to expedite putting the funds to work for the benefit of our Tribes. We are now able to resume full operations and restore jobs.”

A Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal member’s company discovered severance taxes due on several leases held by the Tribes had not been paid. Once the matter surfaced, Chesapeake and tribal officials worked to resolve the matter.Once the amount was determined, Chesapeake paid the severance tax of $15,570,288.90 which included penalties and interest.

In accordance with the Cheyenne and Arapaho General Revenue and Taxation Act of 1988, use of Tax Revenue will be appropriated, but not limited to, the following services:

· Police and fire protection
· Establishment of tribal courts
· Road construction, repair and maintenance
· Water, sewage and garbage disposal
· Education of children
· Public health
· Industrial assistance and advancement and development of tribal enterprises to address chronic unemployment and chronic poverty among tribal members
· Public recreation
· Acquisition of land and general administration of Indian property
· Other essential tribal services

The severance tax monies are not eligible for per cap payments.

Concho, OK – A judge in Custer County denied First Bank and Trust of Clinton’s motion to close the Cheyenne and Arapaho accounts and deduct attorneys’ fees last week stating that would be tantamount to deciding for the Tribes who its governor is, a step the Court declined to take in earlier rulings.
       Judge Doug Haught also denied the motion for a discretionary stay pending appeal stating the Oklahoma Supreme court could rule on the request for stay. This leaves the door open for any party to petition the court to disburse the frozen funds; however, the Court has yet to announce a standard for any such request. There are no hearings or requests pending in this case.
       “It remains unclear how Leslie Wandrie-Harjo will overcome her statements to the court wherein she admitted she is not equipped to administer any of the Tribes’ funds, “ said concerned Janice Prairie Chief-Boswell, Governor of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. “That seems like an insurmountable admission of her inability to perform any official role for the Tribes.”
       First Bank and Trust of Clinton put an “administrative freeze” on the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes’ depositor accounts on April 24, 2012. According to it, the suit was necessary to protect it from liability.
       “The depositor accounts to provide essential governmental services to our People should not have been frozen in the first place,” stated Governor Boswell. “We are committed to getting the depositor accounts released and the essential services provided. This nonsense has gone on too long and our People have suffered enough.”
       The funds were appropriated by Congress to administer a variety of federal programs including shelter to homeless children, medical equipment, critical lifesaving medication, home health care services to the disabled and bedridden, firefighter services and investigation and provision of child protective services for abused, neglected, or exploited children.
       Because it is a state-chartered bank and its accounts are governed by state law, Judge Haught ruled June 21, 2012 that he should administer the account. Under the terms of Judge Haught’s ruling, the bank is forbidden to disburse any funds to either tribal government unless ordered by the court. Officials from either government attempting to withdraw funds must contact the court and the other government in writing before any removals are allowed.
