OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
EDITORIAL: The sound of silence
In January 2016, Tribal Council passed a law (Resolution No. 87) that did away with verbatim written documentation of Council sessions as a matter of course. In other words, the exact words of the Council no longer had to be made into a written record and minutes of the sessions could be summarized.
EDITORIAL: What’s in your wallet?
A quick search on Indeed.com, an employment research website, for “Native American Tribal Council”, “Native American Tribal Chief” and “Native American Vice-Chief”, results in annual average salary information of $92,000, $132,000 and $76,000, respectively.
EDITORIAL: To Be or not To Be; that is Tribal Court’s question
There has been quite a stir recently over the proper place of the Tribal Court. We have had front row seats via cable and live stream during Tribal Council sessions to the debate over the powers of the different branches of tribal government. Just what is a “branch” anyway?
