LETTER: Against national motto on public buildings
This letter to the editor is in response to an article published in the Feb. 11 issue of the One Feather entitled “In God We Trust motto withdrawn in Council”.
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.
