Message from the Chief
Dear Tribal citizens, I hope you and your families are doing well. It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you that two tribal members have recently passed away. Earlier this week Alice Day (Polchies) passed and just this morning Maureen Hammond (Attean) has also died. In addition, services are scheduled for Ruth Johnson (Attean) on Sunday, June 4th. Out of respect for these tribal members and their families, we are rescheduling the General Meeting until Saturday, June 24th. We thank you for your understanding and please join us in sending our heartfelt condolences to these families during . . .
