As we come to the end of a very busy year at the One Feather, I thought it would be interesting to look back at the top stories of the year and reflect on our time, both the newspaper staff and the readership.

We are in what the election board, and Code, call “election year.” It was designated, in part, to prevent our governors from creating preferential law, or to be perceived as creating preferential law to garner votes and stay in office. Equally, it was to protect the incumbent leadership from manipulation by special interests within the tribe.
