Chief's Message
Dear Tribal Citizen,
I hope you are doing well and that you have had an amazing summer. I want to thank you for continuing to support me as Chief of our great Nation; serving in this capacity has always been my greatest honor. I also want to thank those who chose to run in the last election and congratulate those who were elected. I look forward to working together on behalf of all the citizens of our Nation. I’m happy to report that Tribal Council has approved a disbursement of funds to each tribal citizen to help offset the rising cost of food, . . .
