Sobriety month planned

Tribal Council passed a resolution last year declaring August to be Native American Sobriety Month on the Isabella Reservation. A variety of holistic activities are planned to celebrate sobriety and a healthy community.

Members sought for ORV and fireworks committees

About a dozen Saginaw Chippewa Tribal members are needed to fill two separate committees concerning off-road vehicles and fireworks on the Isabella Reservation.

The action stemmed from a recent public hearing which addressed the two topics. During a July 7 special meeting, Tribal Council approved a motion made by District 1 Tribal Council Representative Brenda Champlin to post sign-up sheets at Tribal Operations with interested individuals providing a letter of interest, credentials and qualifications.
