The Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort, in conjunction
with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan,
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,
and the Hannahville Potowatomomi Indian Community,
hosted an assembly of the Grand Council of the
Three Fires Wednesday, March 15. This historic
event reaffirmed the spirit and guidance of
our forefathers as today’s tribal leaders
formed a united coalition addressing federal
and state issues affecting tribal self-sufficiency
and unity.
Tribal chairs, chiefs, councils, pipe carriers,
fire keepers and support staff shared their
knowledge, leadership, guidance and spiritual
wisdom at the assembly. The gathering began
at 7 AM on Wednesday and continued to its conclusion
with a celebration feast at 5 PM on Thursday,
