We The People

Give the General Council real oversight of tribal money. We seek an audit over all spending. Undisclosed tribal fund spend should be visible to all members. It takes 3,600 signatures from enrolled members to approve a BIA secretarial election that will approve the General Council vote.

How to help, in three steps

1

Learn the cause

General Council is an open assembly for every enrolled member 18 and up. Landowners have a separate association for land and royalty issues.

2

Come to a meeting

General Council meets the 19th of every month at Mandaree Water Chief Hall, 5:00 PM CT, in person and on Zoom.

3

Bring three people

Share this page with family and neighbors

Same land. Same families.
Different fights.

One effort is about advocating for fair market value for our Alottee and Landowners. The other is about transparent spending for Tribal dollars. Both come down to two things: transparency and accountability to the people of this reservation.

You can take part in either one, or both.

For individual Native allottees and their heirs. Dues-paying members press for fair oil royalties, leases we are allowed to read, and a federal trustee that answers for the money it holds. Our unifying action is the Tesoro High Plains pipeline trespass lawsuit.
