The Saginaw Chippewa Indian
Tribe hosted a fund-raiser for State Senator,
Diane Byrum who is running for the Michigan
8th Congressional Seat. The fundraising
dinner took place June 20, 2000 in the
Convention Center's Saginaw Room at the
Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort, Mt. Pleasant,
Michigan. A reception took place one half-hour
prior to the 6 p.m. dinner.
This is an important congressional
race for Native Nations and people. We
need someone that recognizes the Tribes
efforts are not specifically gaming
for gaming sake. Tribal gaming is
a business that helps Tribal communities
to build greater sustenance and toward
a greater future. State Senator Byrums
election to Congress would support the
successes gained by Tribal nations, including
the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan
which is also beneficial for all
of greater Isabella County and Tribal
Communities. If you are a Michigan resident
that wants to maintain the success she
has helped gain for the Tribal communities,
including ours, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian
Tribe urges you to contribute to her campaign.
