OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Wants decorum enforced in Council Chambers
I am writing to say I am discouraged and disappointed by the behavior of some Tribal Council members when Tribal Council is in session. I’m asking you to address this when the bad behavior is shown, especially when Council is on-air.
COMMENTARY: The proposed Constitution does harm to the Tribe.
The bottom line is that the proposed Constitution does harm to the Tribe (unintentionally, no doubt) by extinguishing some existing rights of tribal members and some existing governmental functions and legal standards for all three branches of tribal government.
COMMENTARY: Who has the skills?
The current standard for hiring in our Tribe when programs are looking to hire is that minimally qualified tribal members are considered before any other qualified candidate for a position.

Faith Commentary: Immortal Combat
As Christians living in this evil world, where we don’t belong, our lives are continually in immortal combat with the ruler of this world. We tend to forget that and therefore disarm ourselves. However, keeping perpetually vigilant is a daunting task; we may drop our guard and allow satan to attack.
OBITUARY: Gene Rowland
