IN TRIBUTE TO CAROL D. SAMPLE
______
HON. GWEN MOORE
of wisconsin
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, July 9, 2008
Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carol Sample, a compassionate community leader who is retiring after many years of working in the Fourth Congressional District. Carol's involvement in the nonprofit and economic development arena on behalf of all people, but especially for the needs of Native people, is truly impressive.
Carol Sample is originally from a remote Ojibwe Indian Reservation called Turtle Mountain in northern North Dakota, near the Canadian border. She attended Indian boarding school in South Dakota, undergraduate studies at Howard, a historically black university in Washington, DC, and completed her graduate studies at Loretto Heights College in Denver, Colorado.
Carol has worked both within and outside the system to achieve change, including marching with the American Indian Movement, AIM. Carol's employment history demonstrates her ability to successfully navigate within the system as well. In the over two decades that Carol has resided in Milwaukee, she has accomplished much. She has developed several programs that have become national models to address the unique needs of urban Indians. She sits on numerous national committees for the U.S. Department of Labor and is often asked to testify before national and local committees on the problems confronting Indians not residing on reservations. In addition, Carol serves on local boards such as the Milwaukee Area Technical College and the Milwaukee Area Workforce Board.
On July 9, 2008, Carol Sample will retire from her dual role as executive director for the corporate agency Spotted Eagle, Inc., and as principal for Spotted Eagle High School. Spotted Eagle was an early recipient of the best practices' School-to-Work Program of the Department of Labor. Her well-honed management ability, program development, and administration skills were utilized to ensure that a high school based on traditional Indian values was provided for Indian youth in Milwaukee. As a member of the First People, she opened the doors of Spotted Eagle to all youth in the community and we are all better for it.
Madam Speaker, for these reasons, I am honored to pay tribute to Ms. Carol Sample's contributions to the Fourth Congressional District. She has helped transform the lives of many people in our community.
