producers and actors to screen a
dozen films submitted from across
the country and internationally.
The festival included two
mini workshops, exploring preproduction for filmmaking and
screenwriting, taught by Tulalip
filmmakers Derek Jones and Aaron
Jones. Film audiences were able to
screen more than a dozen films that
included documentaries, music
videos, short films and full-length
features.
“I was pretty excited. I
thought it was going to be my big
starring debut. I didn’t know the
role until after I had agreed. My role
was to be a deceased grandmother,”

Myths and facts: a
candid conversation
about beda?chelh
By Niki Cleary
Although it translates
to, “Our Children” the word
beda?chelh has become almost a
boogeyman for parents. Rather
than being a hopeful reminder
that the staff are ensuring our
children are safe, the name is
often accompanied by caution and
sometimes fear, ‘be careful, or
beda?chelh will take your kids.’
Interim beda?chelh Manager
Donna Furchert hopes to change
that perception.
It’s tough, she explained,
tough to balance the safety of
children with the health of families,
especially without consistent
vision, leadership or staff.
“From 2006 to 2013
we’ve had 12 different managers,”
Furchert explained. During the
same time frame, 15 caseworkers
left the department. Furchert
attributes the high turnover to the
stress of the job. Recent guidance
from Tulalip leaders is helping.
“The children of Tulalip
really are our most valuable
resource,” she continued. “I
think we’ve definitely embraced
that idea. Misty [Napeahi, Tribal
Government Interim General
Manager] and Dr. [Stephanie]

Beda?chelh from front page
Fryberg brought our program the community lens
perspective. When there is a conflict, we try to step back
and take the community’s view of the situation.”
According to Furchert, the perception that staff
members are biased is ever present, and sometimes
deserved.
“I equate it back to that boarding school
mentality,” she explained. “People thought they were
working in the best interest of the kids. We had that
opinion in our own heads that someone was being
unbiased.”
With new leadership, Furchert has come to
realize that bias isn’t always that easy to spot.
“We had Dr. Fryberg sit in on our staffings and
demonstrate how bias was influencing our decisions and
how to take bias out of our decisions,” Furchert said.
“We need to be able to call it out and say, I understand
that’s your opinion, but what are the facts? Do we have
it in writing, what are your active efforts to reach the
family? Sitting at your desk and calling is not considered
an active effort.”
At the end of the day, Furchert said, all the
departments’ efforts are aimed at keeping children safe
and that really does take a team.
“Trust and the group being willing to buy into
the idea that we have to change, that’s why I think we’re
seeing the change in numbers that we’re seeing now,”
said Furchert. “You have to be able to trust the person
who is leading you. Our team is not about me, or Misty,
our team is about all of us.
Myths and statistics
Myth 1: Beda?chelh takes your kids away.
“We make recommendations about children, not
decisions,” Furchert stated. “The court makes the decision.
However, we recognize that our recommendations can
have a life-long impact on the family. Before a decision
is made, our recommendation goes through two filters,
the Reservation Attorney’s Office and the Judges. ”
Myth 2: All the case managers at beda?chelh are
non-Native.
“Out of the new hires three are native, two are
tribal parents,” said Furchert. Furchert herself is a citizen
of the Navajo Nation.
Myth 3: If you end up in the beda?chelh system,
you never get out.
“[This year] We have 37 that closed out to a
relative,” said Furchert. “Sixteen kids went back home to
both parents, 19 went to their mother only and two went
to their father only. Five children aged out, meaning they
turned 18 and were closed out of the system.”
Myth 4: All the kids in the beda?chelh system
are placed off-reservation with non-native families.
“We closed out 37 cases to guardianship
(permanent placement),” said Furchert. “Twenty-nine of
those went into relative placement, six went into foster
care and two went to fictive kin (someone seen as family
by the community, but not blood related).”
For those who are in temporary placements
about 60% are off reservation, but that doesn’t
mean they aren’t connected to the tribe.
“We looked at how many are in-home
with mom and dad, 17.9% of kids are in-home
dependency,” said Furchert. September’s
department statistics show that 63 children are
placed on reservation and 90 are placed off
reservation. Of those 27 in-home dependency,
69 live with relatives, 79 live with a tribal,
non-relative, 15 live with a non-tribal, nonrelative, only 18 are in State Foster Care, one
is classified as a runaway, one is in independent
living and five are living in a care facility.
Myth 5: All the kids in the system were
sexually abused.
“Since January, we’ve picked up 19
children, the reasons given were: 14 drug
related allegations, four neglect allegations,
one physical abuse allegation and zero sexual
abuse allegations.”
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
A world without beda?chelh
For Furchert, beda?chelh is a personal
passion as well as a job, “I’m a guardian of
three Tulalip children,” she explained. “I grew
up in New Mexico on my reservation. I was a
product of rape, so my grandmother is the one
who actually raised me. My grandmother was
blind, poor and lived in a two-room shack.”
Now, she is a successful social worker
with a BA in psychology with a Masters in
Health Administration, but that background
still helps her see the community and parent’s
perspective when the department makes
recommendations.
“It’s kind of funny,” she said. “No one
would have placed me with my grandmother.
She was too old, handicapped, too poor, they
wouldn’t have done it. Had I not experienced
that love, I may not have overcome those
obstacles of poverty and addiction.
“I push my teams to look at those
Tulalip See-Yaht-Sub

News
protective factors,” Furchert continued. “So mom
is an addict. Does she use with the child? No,
she drops the child off with grandma. That’s a
protective factor. Is she making sure her children
are safe? That’s what we’re in the business for;
we’re not here to be judging people’s lives. It’s
about child safety.”
Hopefully, Furchert said, in the future there
won’t be a need for beda?chelh.
“Child abuse is a bucket overflowing with
referrals,” described Furchert. “If one person stops
the cycle, if each person can take away one drop,
eventually it will stop overflowing and one day
we’ll be out of a job.”
Terminology of beda?chelh
Beda?chelh uses a lot of terms that are unfamiliar to the general
public. Below are a few of the commonly-used terms, in plain language. Along with brief explanations of what they mean in practice.
CPS (Child Protective Services) allegation - Usually go through
the State and are reports of child safety concerns. CPS allegations
include a screen in and screen out process. There has to be an adult
named. Child on child can be screened out or if it’s severe can be a
law enforcement issue.
Guardianship - You are for basically the legal parent/guardian. If
you are not a blood-relative, you have to wait a year to petition for
guardianship. A petition doesn’t mean you will be automatically
granted guardianship.
In-home dependency - A child residing that is still a tribal depending,
but living with either both or either parent.
Intervener - (See Party to a Case) Whereas a mother or father
automatically become a Party to a Case, an intervener is a person
who motions to become a Party to a Case because of their relationship
to the child.
Judicially Blocked Account (also known as beda?chelh trust
accounts) - Half of a Tulalip minor’s per-capita may be distributed
rather than going into the Minor’s Per-capita Trust Account. When a
child becomes a Youth in Need of Care, that half goes into a judicially
blocked account. The placement or the child may request a draw of
funds from that account. The court approves, modifies or declines it
the request. At the close of the case any money left in the judicially
blocked account automatically rolls into the child’s Minor’s Percapita Trust Account.
Malicious Reporting - False reports generated, sometimes in
custody battles or other family disputes. Malicious Reporting goes
through the state, there is an RCW regarding malicious reporting.
When the State and/or beda?chelh feel it’s a malicious report, a
letter is generated. The report is removed from the State database.
Party to a Case - A person, typically the mother, father or a close
relative, who has the privileged to be able to get the court reports. A
Party to a Case can make motions to the court in regards to a child.
Someone who is not a close relative can petition to become a Party
to a Case (see also, Intervener)
Placement - Where the child will reside or be domiciled. A placement
has no legal rights over the child. This includes medical procedures
like surgeries and circumcisions or piercing of the ears. Beda?chelh
tries gather input from the family about preferences regarding the
child’s hair and body.
Youth in Need of Care - A tribally-dependent child. Ultimately the
court decides whether a child will become a Youth in Need of Care.

The Tulalip Police Department (TPD) has primary law enforcement jurisdiction of all persons and
activities on the Tulalip Indian Reservation and the Consolidated Borough
of Quil Ceda Village. The Tulalip Indian Reservation is located 50 miles
north of Seattle along the Interstate-5
corridor in the Pacific Northwest.
The reservation consists of approximately 22,000 acres, of which is both
tribal and fee simple land. There are
approximately 15,000 persons residing on the reservation, 2500 are tribal
members or other Indians.
The TPD was formed in
2001 as a result of retrocession and
has grown into a police department
employing roughly 50 personnel
to include non-commissioned team
members. TPD currently has 26
commissioned officers with Washington State general peace officer authority including TPD Fish & Wildlife Enforcement. The Consolidated
Borough of Quil Ceda Village is a
2000 acre tribal municipality on the
reservation butting up against the I-5
corridor consisting of both tribal and
non-tribal business. The larger tenants located within Quil Ceda Village include the Tulalip Resort Casino & Hotel, Tulalip Bingo, Seattle
Premium Outlet Center (120 Stores),
Wal-Mart, and Home Depot. Up to
75,000 guests visit the Tulalip Resort
Casino and other businesses within
the Quil Ceda Village daily. The transient population provides economic
development for the Tulalip Tribes
as well as a variety of challenges for

Village.
Chief of Police Carlos Echevarria in addition to all team members of Tulalip Tribal Police Services
is fully committed to taking a zero
tolerance approach on persons who
attempt to sell narcotics within the
boundaries of the Tulalip Reservation. For year 2013 TPD conducted
six residential search warrants and
over 20 vehicle specific search warrants. And for 2014 with three months
remaining in the year TPD has executed 10 residential search warrants
and 16 vehicle specific search warrants. TPD has arrested three high
level heroin dealers on the reservation in possession of five-plus ounces
of heroin, firearms, as well as possession of other narcotics. On a national
level statistically, Department of Justice states violent crime is decreasing,
but violent physical assaults against
law enforcement officers by persons
armed with a firearm(s) is increasing.
Here at Tulalip we are seeing a similar trend as the persons we contact
are often times armed with firearms
and or other weapons and TPD statistics shows the trend with 17 seized
firearms in 2013 and 37 seized year
to date 2014.
TPD has recently hired nine
entry level officers and they will
graduate from the police academy
early 2015 bringing TPD back to
minimum staffing levels. The new
team members will provide much
needed support once they complete
the required field training program as
well as much needed assistance to the
overall function of the TPD.
As your Chief of Police, I am
committed to crime prevention and
the eradication of narcotics throughout our Tribal communities. We will
continue to work hard in an effort to
make Tulalip a safe place for persons
to live, visit, vacation, and play during their stay.
I have an open door policy
and community members may stop
by the police department or reach me
by phone (360-716-4608) even to say
hello.

By Brandi N. Montreuil
Heritage Lady Hawks continue their
losing streak in a game against Providence
Classical Christian Highlanders, 0-3.
The game was played at Tulalip Heritage

of gymnasium facilities on Wednesday,

This is the Lady Hawks third
consecutive loss in the season, which
enabled the Highlanders to climb to the
number one spot in the varsity volleyball
standings, knocking established Lopez
Island Lobos into second place.

Both teams stepped on
the court looking to take a win
after both teams experienced
crushing losses in their season
openers, but Lady Hawks lack

plagued the team since the
start, enabled the Eagles easily
take the lead.

the world and adventurous to complete the whole package we knew
as EJ. His beautiful, big brown eyes
told stories and his drive and emotion
taught us all more than his short time
should have allowed. He was such a
smart and in tuned child, his voice
and thoughts could always be heard.
He is survived by his parents,
Charlotte Ike and Enrique Sedano; a
sister, Alexandrea; maternal grandparents Ronda Metcalf and Renaldo
Minjarez; and fraternal grandparents, Adrienne and Daniel Vielle and
Samuel Sedano; great-grandmother,
Phyllis Enick; as well as a numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. E.J.
was preceded in death by his great-
grandfather, Charles Calflooking Sr.;
his uncle, Robby Kublic; cousin,
Keemani Conklin; great-grandmother, Charlotte Quinelle; great-grandfather Ricardo Minjarez; and greatgreat-grandmother, Gertrude Perry.
Although we will miss him
every day, he will forever remain in
our hearts. Visitation was Thursday,
September 25, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at
Schaefer-Shipman with an Interfaith
service following at 6:00 p.m. at the
Tulalip Gym. Funeral was held Friday
at 9:30 a.m. at the Tulalip Gym with
burial following at the Marysville
Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to
Schaefer-Shipman, Marysville.
