Tribal Council

December 17, 2003

Dear Tribal Members,

On behalf of our Tribal Council, I would like to say “miigwetch” for your support and wish you and your family the best for this holiday season.

We realize there are many concerns that need to be addressed. We are in the process of doing our research with the assistance of program directors and many Tribal departments within our organization. This Council Administration has not made any decisions regarding enrollment issues, however, we are preparing for a State of the Tribe address that will provide the Tribal membership with the mission of this Council Administration.

The next community meeting is scheduled for Sunday, January 18, 2004 at the Soaring Eagle Entertainment Hall in Mt. Pleasant. The Office of Tribal Clerk will begin registration promptly at 1:00 p.m. with dinner beginning at 2:00 p.m. Please make sure you have your Tribal I.D. with you so you can attend this meeting of the Tribal membership.

To make this meeting available to many At-Large and Saganing Tribal members who have to drive, Tribal Council moved to have the upcoming quarterly meetings on Sunday afternoon. Along with the State of the Tribe address, all present Council members will have an opportunity to address the community. We will also have representation of many Tribal departments, a financial report and a question and answer period for the membership.

We need to hear your voice and your support is vital to the growth of all who live and work in our community. Our Council Administration considers it an honor and responsibility to work for our people and we pledge to do our best to increase open communication between our Tribal Council and the Tribal membership.

Please take the time to enjoy the blessings we have received and share them with those you love. I look forward to seeing everyone at the first community meeting for this Council Administration.

Miigwetch!


Tribal Chief Audrey Falcon
