Tribal members, in keeping with a commitment to honor the voice of the tribal community, tribal council and tribal operations are asking tribal citizens to complete a short survey. The survey will help guide the tribe in the distribution of ARPA Funds for Tribal Operations. It is our goal to provide support for the programs and services that are most needed in the community.
