Quese IMC Frejo Little Eagle (Pawnee/Seminole), one of the hottest up and coming Native Hip Hop artists in Indian Country, was nominated for “Outstanding Musical Achievement” for his album, “The Betty Lena Project.” The nomination represents a first for the Oklahoma Native. “I'm honored to not only receive a nomination for the "Betty Lena" project but for all those that this music has touched. I know that this project will take the flight that it was meant to take and it’s good. This is a step for me as an artist to challenge the mainstreams concept of Hip Hop. I'm thankful that the good doings and formula in which I put out my Indigenous Movement Music has moved people in new ways and thus allowed all people to study our struggle through the greatest medium of music, Hip Hop,” stated Quese IMC during a recent interview. Quese’s artistic style mixes the modern substance of “freestyling,” Hip Hop, and Funk with strictly traditional Native American forms and traditional values. His lyrical style is a unique, cultured-eclectic, soulful, and moving way of expressing his idea of Hip Hop music. Quese’s interests, talents as a composer and producer, and his energy propelled him to become one of the top Native Emcees in the country today. Competing in national Emcee Battles, including MTV’s “Def Jam,” and talent shows and concerts, Quese has established himself as a seasoned performer with an accomplished resume. Quese has opened for some of the top names in music that include: Snoop Dogg; Ludacris; Tyrese; Cee-Lo; Clipse; Petey Pablo; Grandmaster Flash; The Pharcyde; Hieroglyphics; Atmosphere; Visionaries; and Kumbia Kings. Quese also recently started his own independent record label "Makvsee Music." “The Betty Lena Project,” is Quese’s fifth independent album release. The album is an exploration through the trails of Native country. As a producer and Emcee, Quese has braided his cultural music and voices of elders and blended it with Hip Hop. Songs like "Hey Young World,” “Southern plains,” “I Am My Ancestors,” and “Street Indian” expresses empowerment, and invokes historical and cultural memory and pride. Betty Lena’s final track, "Billie Jean Left Hand," is dedicated to a teen girl from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation in North Dakota who tragically took her young life. Billie Jean was one of Quese’s young fans, who was touched both by Quese’s music and work as a motivational speaker. Quese IMC is also co-founder with brother Brian Frejo (DJ Shock B) of Culture Shock Camp, an all-Native hip-hop group originating out of Oklahoma City. Culture Shock was named “one of the most celebrated hip-hop groups in the Native American world” by The Source Magazine, one of the largest-selling hip-hop magazines in the country. Quese with Culture Shock has toured more than 400 reservations and cities nationwide over last four years. Culture Shock Camp has played to crowds as large as 25,000, and brought its unique Native Hip Hop sound and message of hope, wellness, and Native pride to thousands of Native youth. The 14th Annual Awards Ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. FAITA is a highly respected non-profit organization created to recognize, honor and promote American Indian participation in the arena of the entertainment industry. FAITA presents an annual award ceremony recognizing outstanding achievement, performances and contribution by and to the Native American Indian entertainment community.[This message contained attachments]________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Message: 7 Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 17:11:09 -0000 From: "wleboeuf0922" <http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=wleboeuf0922@yahoo.com&YY=47449&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>Subject: Please help a student: Financial Familiarity SurveyAs I don't intend to abuse your wonderful discussion board, I will only post this once.I am a graduate student at the University of Denver and am creating a survey which measures financial familiarity for a class project. Eventually I'm hoping to use this survey to measure the financial knowledge of the participants in our non-profit organization, Ambassadors for Literacy, Inc. Before we actually use it, I need to make sure it is a "worthy" measure. I feel that, in order to do so, I need representation from various cultures and ethnic groups so I can understand if it is adequately representative. Right now I have no representation from the Native American community and this is a problem because we have several Native American families involved in the Ambassadors program.Just to alleviate concerns, there are NO questions which can be traced back to you. I do not ask for your phone number, e-mail address or any personal identification info. This is solely for research purposes.

This meeting took place in Nuuk, Greenland onFebruary 13 to 17, 2006.I am concerned about how we can work together to makethe Permanent Forum more effective, focused andproductive. One solution proposed last year was tostrongly encourage participants to consolidate theirrecommendations into regional statements andpresentations as much as possible.As some of you may also recall at the last session,Indigenous participants from two regions, Africa andAsia, were able to organize regional preparatorymeetings before the session. As a result, those tworegions were able to present strong consolidatedstatements, which made a considerable impact on thesession. As you know, we scheduled regional sideevents during the session to share issues ofparticular concern to some regions with otherparticipants and Permanent Forum Members.This year North America and the other regions arescheduled to present regional special events duringthe upcoming 5th Session of the Forum. In order to dothis most effectively, I would respectfully recommendthat we hold a preparatory session for the NorthAmerica region, even though the time frame is short.In addition to planning this special event together,this preparatory meeting will provide the opportunityto share important information and could developregional statements and possible recommendations onkey issues.The agenda for this meeting could include:1. A report on the decisions and discussions from theInter-Sessional Meeting.Recommendations for strengthening the role andincreasing the effectiveness of the Permanent Forum,especially in light of the impacts of the current“U.N. reformâ€? and changes in the U.N. Human RightsSystem.A report from the recent U.N. Expert Seminar onIndigenous Peoples’ Permanent Sovereignty OverNatural Resources and Their Relationship to Land, andthe specific recommendations regarding the work of thePermanent Forum.Organizing the North America region special event forthe 5th session.Announcing the U.N. Expert Seminar on Treaties,Agreements and Other Constructive Arrangement inTreaty 6 Territory, Alberta, Canada in September,2006.Updates on the U.N. Declaration on the Rights ofIndigenous Peoples and the possible role andresponsibility of the Permanent Forum in light of whathappens at the Final Session of the C.H.R.Development of a regional statement and/orrecommendations on these and other issues, includingthe focus issue for this session of the PermanentForum, the Millennium Development Goals 3 to 6.Since unfortunately the Permanent Forum does not havea budget to support regional preparatory meetings, thetravel and lodging costs will need to be “on ourownâ€?. A few Indigenous organizations are working tohelp raise funds to cover costs for at least some ofthe meals for participants during the meeting, butthis effort is still in process. You should plan atthis point to be able to cover your own meal costs aswell.The dates proposed for this two-day meeting are April29 and 30, 2006. The University of Minnesota HumanRights Center has offered to provide meeting space(room 65) at the University of Minnesota Law School,229 19th Avenue So., Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55455.The phone number there is (612) 626-0041, fax (612)625-2011.We did consider holding the meeting right before thePermanent Forum session in New York to save on travelcosts, but this would make for too long of a timecommitment for many representatives as well as a veryrushed time frame for any preparations based on theresults. There are also several other meetings alreadyscheduled for the weekend before the Permanent Forumstarts.I realize this is short notice and everyone has a busyschedule. Finances may also make it difficult for somerepresentatives to attend, but it seems, based on someinitial consultations, that at least some of the FirstNations and Organizations who regularly attend thePermanent Forum from the North America region [UnitedStates and Canada] will make every effort to send oneor more representatives to this session.The hotel nearest the site, within close walkingdistance, is the Holiday Inn Metrodome, 1500Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Tel: (612)333-4646, Fax: (612) 338-4049, toll free number:1(800) 448-3663.

Quese IMC Frejo Little Eagle (Pawnee/Seminole), one of the hottest up and coming Native Hip Hop artists in Indian Country, was nominated for “Outstanding Musical Achievement” for his album, “The Betty Lena Project.” The nomination represents a first for the Oklahoma Native. “I'm honored to not only receive a nomination for the "Betty Lena" project but for all those that this music has touched. I know that this project will take the flight that it was meant to take and it’s good. This is a step for me as an artist to challenge the mainstreams concept of Hip Hop. I'm thankful that the good doings and formula in which I put out my Indigenous Movement Music has moved people in new ways and thus allowed all people to study our struggle through the greatest medium of music, Hip Hop,” stated Quese IMC during a recent interview. Quese’s artistic style mixes the modern substance of “freestyling,” Hip Hop, and Funk with strictly traditional Native American forms and traditional values. His lyrical style is a unique, cultured-eclectic, soulful, and moving way of expressing his idea of Hip Hop music. Quese’s interests, talents as a composer and producer, and his energy propelled him to become one of the top Native Emcees in the country today. Competing in national Emcee Battles, including MTV’s “Def Jam,” and talent shows and concerts, Quese has established himself as a seasoned performer with an accomplished resume. Quese has opened for some of the top names in music that include: Snoop Dogg; Ludacris; Tyrese; Cee-Lo; Clipse; Petey Pablo; Grandmaster Flash; The Pharcyde; Hieroglyphics; Atmosphere; Visionaries; and Kumbia Kings. Quese also recently started his own independent record label "Makvsee Music." “The Betty Lena Project,” is Quese’s fifth independent album release. The album is an exploration through the trails of Native country. As a producer and Emcee, Quese has braided his cultural music and voices of elders and blended it with Hip Hop. Songs like "Hey Young World,” “Southern plains,” “I Am My Ancestors,” and “Street Indian” expresses empowerment, and invokes historical and cultural memory and pride. Betty Lena’s final track, "Billie Jean Left Hand," is dedicated to a teen girl from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation in North Dakota who tragically took her young life. Billie Jean was one of Quese’s young fans, who was touched both by Quese’s music and work as a motivational speaker. Quese IMC is also co-founder with brother Brian Frejo (DJ Shock B) of Culture Shock Camp, an all-Native hip-hop group originating out of Oklahoma City. Culture Shock was named “one of the most celebrated hip-hop groups in the Native American world” by The Source Magazine, one of the largest-selling hip-hop magazines in the country. Quese with Culture Shock has toured more than 400 reservations and cities nationwide over last four years. Culture Shock Camp has played to crowds as large as 25,000, and brought its unique Native Hip Hop sound and message of hope, wellness, and Native pride to thousands of Native youth. The 14th Annual Awards Ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. FAITA is a highly respected non-profit organization created to recognize, honor and promote American Indian participation in the arena of the entertainment industry. FAITA presents an annual award ceremony recognizing outstanding achievement, performances and contribution by and to the Native American Indian entertainment community.[This message contained attachments]________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Message: 7 Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 17:11:09 -0000 From: "wleboeuf0922" <http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=wleboeuf0922@yahoo.com&YY=47449&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>Subject: Please help a student: Financial Familiarity SurveyAs I don't intend to abuse your wonderful discussion board, I will only post this once.I am a graduate student at the University of Denver and am creating a survey which measures financial familiarity for a class project. Eventually I'm hoping to use this survey to measure the financial knowledge of the participants in our non-profit organization, Ambassadors for Literacy, Inc. Before we actually use it, I need to make sure it is a "worthy" measure. I feel that, in order to do so, I need representation from various cultures and ethnic groups so I can understand if it is adequately representative. Right now I have no representation from the Native American community and this is a problem because we have several Native American families involved in the Ambassadors program.Just to alleviate concerns, there are NO questions which can be traced back to you. I do not ask for your phone number, e-mail address or any personal identification info. This is solely for research purposes.

This meeting took place in Nuuk, Greenland onFebruary 13 to 17, 2006.I am concerned about how we can work together to makethe Permanent Forum more effective, focused andproductive. One solution proposed last year was tostrongly encourage participants to consolidate theirrecommendations into regional statements andpresentations as much as possible.As some of you may also recall at the last session,Indigenous participants from two regions, Africa andAsia, were able to organize regional preparatorymeetings before the session. As a result, those tworegions were able to present strong consolidatedstatements, which made a considerable impact on thesession. As you know, we scheduled regional sideevents during the session to share issues ofparticular concern to some regions with otherparticipants and Permanent Forum Members.This year North America and the other regions arescheduled to present regional special events duringthe upcoming 5th Session of the Forum. In order to dothis most effectively, I would respectfully recommendthat we hold a preparatory session for the NorthAmerica region, even though the time frame is short.In addition to planning this special event together,this preparatory meeting will provide the opportunityto share important information and could developregional statements and possible recommendations onkey issues.The agenda for this meeting could include:1. A report on the decisions and discussions from theInter-Sessional Meeting.Recommendations for strengthening the role andincreasing the effectiveness of the Permanent Forum,especially in light of the impacts of the current“U.N. reformâ€? and changes in the U.N. Human RightsSystem.A report from the recent U.N. Expert Seminar onIndigenous Peoples’ Permanent Sovereignty OverNatural Resources and Their Relationship to Land, andthe specific recommendations regarding the work of thePermanent Forum.Organizing the North America region special event forthe 5th session.Announcing the U.N. Expert Seminar on Treaties,Agreements and Other Constructive Arrangement inTreaty 6 Territory, Alberta, Canada in September,2006.Updates on the U.N. Declaration on the Rights ofIndigenous Peoples and the possible role andresponsibility of the Permanent Forum in light of whathappens at the Final Session of the C.H.R.Development of a regional statement and/orrecommendations on these and other issues, includingthe focus issue for this session of the PermanentForum, the Millennium Development Goals 3 to 6.Since unfortunately the Permanent Forum does not havea budget to support regional preparatory meetings, thetravel and lodging costs will need to be “on ourownâ€?. A few Indigenous organizations are working tohelp raise funds to cover costs for at least some ofthe meals for participants during the meeting, butthis effort is still in process. You should plan atthis point to be able to cover your own meal costs aswell.The dates proposed for this two-day meeting are April29 and 30, 2006. The University of Minnesota HumanRights Center has offered to provide meeting space(room 65) at the University of Minnesota Law School,229 19th Avenue So., Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55455.The phone number there is (612) 626-0041, fax (612)625-2011.We did consider holding the meeting right before thePermanent Forum session in New York to save on travelcosts, but this would make for too long of a timecommitment for many representatives as well as a veryrushed time frame for any preparations based on theresults. There are also several other meetings alreadyscheduled for the weekend before the Permanent Forumstarts.I realize this is short notice and everyone has a busyschedule. Finances may also make it difficult for somerepresentatives to attend, but it seems, based on someinitial consultations, that at least some of the FirstNations and Organizations who regularly attend thePermanent Forum from the North America region [UnitedStates and Canada] will make every effort to send oneor more representatives to this session.The hotel nearest the site, within close walkingdistance, is the Holiday Inn Metrodome, 1500Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Tel: (612)333-4646, Fax: (612) 338-4049, toll free number:1(800) 448-3663.
