Message from the Chief

Dear tribal citizens, I hope you are in good health. I am writing to share the sad news that another tribal citizen has passed. We were informed this morning that Neil Clark, the son of Gwen Dewhirst, has died. As I’m sure you are aware, the Annual General Meeting was scheduled for tomorrow. In accordance with tribal law and our traditions, we will be rescheduling this meeting out of respect for Neil and his family. We will set the new date as soon as possible. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Neil’s family. We look forward to seeing you all . . .
