Chief's Message

Dear Tribal citizen,

I am pleased to share that after due consideration, the Tribal Council has approved a request to distribute to tribal citizens a significant portion of our current gaming revenue.  The plan is for this payout to occur during the first week of May.  I appreciate everyone’s patience as leadership worked through its process.    The Tribal Council has also approved a request to fund elder based activities from the gaming revenue.   We are glad to be able to share the success of our venture with tribal citizens and wish you all the best. I will continue to provide updates as necessary.  . . .
