Everyone will have the opportunity to get hooked into the city system. The project is getting close to go live. Gordon Construction is doing the work and White Earth member Vance Stevens is the Project Manager. He and his crew are doing a great job!
Education
School has started everywhere - elementary, high school and colleges. Have fun and be safe all.
Day Labor and TERO
We have day labor in Naytahwaush so get down to the Workforce Center and get signed up or go to the Mahnomen or Bagley Casino - they have day labor also.
Boys and Girls Club
Kids get off the bus from school and they are so happy that we have a Club here in the Rice Lake Village.
Forestry
Our fire fighters have been going out of state to help fight forest fires. All these brave men and women take time away from their families to go help other people and my hat is off to these people - you are strong fighters.
Urban Communities
Went to the Tribal Flag Plaza at the Capital in St. Paul, Minn., to raise the White Earth Flag. It was a great and historic day for all Minnesota tribes. If you are down in the Metro area, get over and check it out, even if it’s to pray or give your asemma. Miigwech
