About the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska MISSION STATEMENT The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, as a sovereign Nation, is committed pursuant to its Constitution, to maintain, improve and protect the Tribe; To preserve its resources and cultural heritage; To create opportunities for its members to thrive and become economically and socially self-sufficient as individuals, families and as a tribal government; and, thereby, promote the harmony of traditional values, beliefs which will ensure a positive course of action for future generations. THE WINNEBAGO INDIAN RESERVATION The Winnebago Indian Reservation lies in the northern half of Thurston County in northeastern Nebraska. The largest community on the Reservation is the Village of Winnebago. Located on the eastern side of the Reservation, Winnebago is home to most Winnebago tribal members and accounts for almost thirty percent of the Reservation's resident population. The closest large urban centers are Sioux City, Iowa, about 20 miles north of the Reservation, and Omaha, Nebraska, approximately 80 miles to the south. Reservation land holdings extend to Iowa to the east and are not accessible within the Reservation boundaries. There are approximately 1800 acres situated in Thurston County and in the Woodbury County area of western Iowa. The Winnebago Indian Reservation covers approximately 120,000 acres of cropland, woodland, and pasture in the northern half of Thurston County, Nebraska. The Missouri River on the east, the Omaha Indian Reservation on the south, and the Dakota-Thurston County line to the north border the Reservation. The western boundary parallels State Highway 16 about two miles to its east. Approximately one third of the Reservation acreage is owned by the tribe and individual tribal members. Non-tribal members, however, farm much of the Indian land. At present, approximately 2,600 people live on the Reservation. Based on demographic modeling, the Reservation population is expected to increase from its year 1990 level of 2,377 to 5,050 in year 2040, due in large part to the high birth rate and relatively youthful composition of the Native American habitants. Much of the growth will occur in the Village of Winnebago, where it is anticipated that the population will more than double by year 2040. Some population expansion and settlement will occur outside Winnebago but the extent, scope and direction of this development is primarily dependent on accessibility within the reservation area. Important sectors of employment on the Reservation include health and education services, manufacturing, agriculture, public administration, and retail trade. Relative to statistics for the state of Nebraska and the nation as a whole, unemployment is rather high and household and per capita income is low for Native Americans living on the Reservation. According to 1990 U.S. Bureau of Census figures, unemployment on the Reservation was 20.4 percent overall and 20.4 percent for the Native American population compared to 3.7 percent unemployment statewide and 5.6 percent unemployment nationally. It is estimated that 44 percent of the Native American population on the Reservation lives at or below the poverty level. The Winnebago Tribe’s Trust Lands and holdings in Iowa are approximately 1800 acres at present with plans to extend ownership as development occurs. The Winnevagas Casino and the Convenience Store/Gas Station complex plays a significant part in the general economy both in employment and revenue for the tribe. Future expansion to include an 18 hole golf course, RV Park and Motel, makes the need to establish a direct link with Winnebago crucial. about us | history | government | education | tribal news | attractions recreation | enterprise | job postings | map | contact us

www.rvs-r-us.com__________Find New RV Dealer Cost, Invoice Price And Wholesale Values Here __________ NewRV Buyer Consulting "Your First And Only IndependantResource For New And Preowned RV Blue Book Pricing, Appraisal and Value Reports" Since 1998 "What's It Worth? Find Out Here!" rvs-r-us.com "RV Dealers Want YouTo Pay Too Much For Your New RV" Revolutionary DiscoveryReveals Dealer Cost For Class A Motor Homes, Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheels, Class C And B Motor Homes, Popups,.... Literally All New RVs Dear New RV Buyers, Want to know dealer cost for a New RV so you can control how you buy it? Want to feel comfortable about the deal you have going with an RV Dealer? Tap into my 23 years experience selling RVs and Campers to help you get the best price possible on your next RV purchase. New RVs Have A Huge Markup Isn't it hard to find out what a dealer paid for a RV? Heck, it's almost impossible. The information is so closely guarded, it's like the crown jewels. Huge markups give RV Dealers an almost unfair edge over prospective buyers. They can make a deal look irresistible to the uninformed RVer and laugh all the way to the bank with the big profit they make. The really bad part of it all, the sword that cuts both ways, is depreciation of the new RV. The more you pay in profit dollars, the higher your depreciation will be. How to Buy A New RV The Right Way The good news for you is you can control how much profit you pay for your next RV. What do you feel is a fair profit? Is it a percentage figure or a dollar amount? This should be a fundamental decision you and your buying team discuss and decide. You have to know this because it is the only variable in the sales equation. Dealer cost is fixed. Taxes are fixed. The value of your trade is fixed at wholesale. Motor Vehicle Fees are fixed. The only option left for a dealer to play games with is the profit. RV dealers have to make more profit than car dealers. They, with few exceptions, do not have the high volume sales the car guys do. Many RV dealers sell in a year what a car dealer does in a month. RVs Cost Too Much If You Let Them Unknowing buyers are going to pay whatever they are able to blindly "negotiate". Many will pay thousands of dollars too much. For every informed buyer who pays close to invoice, there will be many more who get the gaff. But that's our free enterprise system at work. It's up to you which end of the equation you are on. This is one test where you definitely want to be below average. Over the years I have been amazed at the amount of profit people pay for their coaches. There are few things sadder than to see the look on someone’s face when they realize just how much less their coach is worth than they thought it would be at trade-in time. They call it high depreciation when in reality they paid way too much profit in the beginning. RV Insider Ready To Work For You You have to be as informed as humanly possible. You need to know what I have to share with you. The money-making opportunities at a RV Dealership would amaze you. If you want above average savings and really want to know how to see an RV deal the way the dealer does, I can help you save literally thousands of dollars. If all you need is a dealer cost factor, $19.95 will get you the information by phone. 1-800-771-2587, ask for RVDave. If your questions are more involved, or you just need to know for sure something that you suspect, I can work with you to understand all this. Even if you only need to hear something from an impartial third party, it makes sense for you to call me. I do a lot of deal reviews where I figure out the real numbers for someone buying a new RV. Just like the salesperson has to go ask the manager to get you a better deal, you can ask me if it is a good deal. I am on your side and I can work with you to get the best deal possible. Once you understand what is going on, you will have the information you need to buy your next RV at your target price. Get Ready To Save Money Before you call me, please review the following and be ready to share with me as much information as possible. Obtain the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of the coach you are buying. Make sure it is real, not an RV dealer trick sheet designed to increase their profit potential. And/Or Details of the deal you were able to negotiate with the dealer. The more official the better. If there is a trade involved, this is the way to go. A complete and accurate picture of the transaction will provide me with the information I need to figure out what the real numbers are and how to adjust them so you pay what you feel is a fair price. What you are willing to pay as profit to own the coach. A list of three to five dealerships within reasonable distance to you who carry this brand RV. (optional) No emotional attachment to the coach you want to buy. This is a business deal. The more you let your emotions into it, the more you will spend. Besides, this is a new coach. The factory can make another one just like it. ( Unless it is a leftover. Then you must ask why no one else bought it and what it is worth if it were used.) Understand that any RV transaction is figured up from cost, not down from retail. Retail includes profit. Dealers will try anything to get you evaluating the deal based on retail prices. Do not do it. Once you see my Buying System, You will feel in control of your RV purchase because you will have more information than the salesman across the desk from you. Understand that RV dealers buy coaches at wholesale. If 'Old Faithful' has a wholesale book value of $30,000.00 and the offer form shows you these guys are giving you $45,000.00 in trade, swallow hard and take the emotions out of the deal. Guess what! It might make you feel good to think 'OLD Faithful' is solid gold, but RV dealers buy at wholesale and every dime over wholesale book that they show you is profit for them. Understand you do this once every few years or so. RV dealers do this couple of times a day. They are experts at buying and selling RVs. Once they realize you have inside information, they will do anything they can to turn the deal in their favor. Understand that after we talk, you will no longer be negotiating. You will be making an offer to purchase an item the dealer can replace with a phone call. Save $Thousands$ On Your Next RV Can I help you? Get your information together and call me. Find out for yourself how good it feels to understand this stuff. Your first call is FREE, 'on me'. So you can feel me out and see that I am for real and on your side. Call me. Let's find out what's going on. Call between 10 am and 6 pm Mountain Time ( I just moved to Arizona thanks to this little internet business) Monday through Friday for a free introductory meeting. You can try us on Saturday. I frequently work, but find myself RVing more now on weekends. I look forward to making a new RVing friend. Call 800-771-2587 and ask for RVDave. Clear Skies And Smooth Highways, P.S. You risk nothing to call me. Your first call is free unless you decide to save thousands of dollars buying your next RV and hire me. P.S.S. Look at the email I get ! From: "Robert Hopkins" To: howedoin@rvs-r-us.com Subject: Long Over Due Testimonial I've been meaning to write you with our story. In July we were in the process of trading in our '97 Georgie Boy Pursuit motorhome and purchasing a new one. The salesman wanted to give us $20,000 for our old coach and went through a lot of effort to convince us that even this was top dollar. Thanks to your website and the quick response with an RV Value Report, we were able to prove that the coach was actually worth $25,490 at the used wholesale level. The dealer didn't even argue. If it wasn't for this invaluable service we would have been $5,490 poorer today. Thanks for saving us so much money! Susan & Rob Hopkins Dave- What a difference a report and a consultation make! After hearing trade-in values that differed up to $14,000 (once from the same dealer) we were able to tell a manager that we knew our motorhome's value and how we expected the negotiations to proceed. Control of the deal was ours. Thanks-K. Jerkic Call me at 800-771-2587. It's FREE andcould save you thousands.
