Work long ago completed on a new constitution for the Sault Tribe went the way of other best interests of the tribe...to the trash. The big excuse was the expense to enact the changes, but currently there is an amendment to remove the chairman position as CEO.
We can change the way our tribe operates one amendment at a time and the cost of an election to amend the constitution is absorbed by the BIA so cost to conduct an election cannot be used as an excuse.
Wording for an amendment for recall of elected officials is the first step followed by the petition for the amendment to go before the board. Moving forward will be based on interest in the project and if you wish to be part of it or be informed of the details, you must trust enough to provide your identity in order to maintain the integrity of the project.
