Editor,
It has become apparent these last few months of the importance of some of the issues facing our people today.
We all hear rumors from day to day about vital issues that affect our lives, and it is hard to get a good consensus of the issues. I would like to propose that at the next quarterly meeting on April 5 that the Tribal Council put aside the agenda for that meeting and discuss with the tribal membership the following issues of concern: water compact, on and off the reservation; Salazar settlement; Kerr Dam; corporations; tribal constitution changes; sequester shortfall/funding; Cobell settlement; and gaming.
Other issues that the tribal membership deems important.
Facing the issues head-on with the membership will clear the air and put a kibosh on the rumors, which will open the door to a better understanding between the membership and Tribal Council. Hopefully the Tribal Council will honor this request.
As no two people think the same, a respectful way should be followed during this meeting.
