Mission Statement: Our Tribal people seek to sustain the pride, honor respect and distinction that is our traditional way. Through art, singing, ceremonies, hunting, fishing, gathering, trade and traditional medicine, we celebrate the individual skills and talents which have made us the people we are today. It is our objective that our lives and our work be significant and will add to the well-being of the entire Tribe. We trust this will bring about a revival of our culture.
|
Purpose: As Tribal people, we have two priceless natural resources; our elders "our history" and our children "our future". It is the privilege and duty of our people to ensure that the elders and the children are honored and cared for.
