 Red Lake Nation tribal members want to choose the right person to represent them. They had a community engagement meeting to discuss the duties and responsibilities of elected officials at the Northwest Indian OIC. Questions came up like how much experience should one have and is education important? The goal is to rewrite the Constitution and hear from the public on what the new Constitution should include and what's important to the people. We are looking for the people say, I guess, rather than dictate to them any form of government to them. We'd like to get their opinion on what it is they would see would work better for their community. The final draft of the Constitution will happen around July or August after one more series of community meetings.
