Governing for the Future

Our tribal government determines the direction that allows our people to prosper. Guided by a strategic plan, our Tribal Council oversees all issues related to economic development, cultural renewal, community giving and the health and wellness of our people. Our goal is to put in place programs that allow us to secure our future for generations to come.
