COMMENTARY: Turn your radio on.
The tribe needs a radio station. Many think that AM and FM radio are antiquated, a thing of the past that has outlived its purpose.

Glory to God, He has called us to be Trees of Righteousness, meaning, “We’ve already been pruned and trained,” and that it all now begins to happen in the right way and timing.
COMMENTARY: So, we will not decide.
The Tribal Council has spoken. Even if the Chief were to veto proposed Resolution 627, which was initiated by the Office of the Attorney General to rescind Resolution 559 (2023), the margin of the weighted vote needed to override is there.
