Headlines: This week on Minnesota Native News, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe elections and more. This is Minnesota Native News, I'm Marie Rock.STORY 1: MCT Postponed Primary Happening on June 9 HOST: The 6 Bands who are part of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe are holding their primary election on June 9. Reporter Melissa Townsend has the details. MELISSA: Mille Lacs, White Earth, Boise Forte, Leech Lake, Fond du Lac, and Grand Portage will be choosing candidates for Band Chairmen and several District Representatives seats. The primary election was postponed from March 31 because of safety precautions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Gary Frazer is the Executive Director of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.  FRAZER: I think the voter turnout is going to be way lower at the polls because they've been requesting people vote with absentee over the last month and a half. (:10)He says tribal leaders are taking a number of precautions to keep voters safe. MCT members can vote by absentee ballot up through June 9. At polling places, some Bands will practice social distancing and some may require a temperature check before you can vote. If a person has an elevated temperature, they can get an absentee ballot.The candidates who make it through the Primaries will run in the General Election. That's scheduled for August 18. In other news… Some tribes in Minnesota are reopening their casinos. All tribes in Minnesota closed their gaming enterprises in mid-March as a part of social distancing to slow the spread of Covid-19.Joe Naquanabe, the head of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe's Corporate Ventures says that decision to close was really tough.NAQUANABE: It was really scary knowing what the properties represent to the region and especially the Mille Lacs Band. (:08)But he says - the decision to reopen is even more difficult. NAQUANABE: It's harder because there's this fact that we will be increasing the same risks that we are trying to avoid by closing. (:13)The Upper Sioux community opened their doors earlier in May. The Shakopee Mdewaukanton Sioux Community, Prairie Island Indian Community, the Red Lake Nation and the Mille Lacs and the Bois Forte Bands of Ojibwe casinos are reopening this week. Angela Heikes [HIGH-kiss] is President and CEO of the Shakopee Mdewaukanton Sioux Community Gaming Enterprise. Both Naquanabe and Heikes say their tribes are consulting both with their own internal health and safety departments and outside agencies.HEIKES: We are really watching and understanding the guidance coming form the federal government, the CDC, different health organizations, coming from the state of Minnesota. We also have our own tribal public health department. (:19)The casinos are not opening to full capacity so that patrons can practice social distancing. Customers will have their temperature taken at the entrances. Shakopee is requiring everyone to wear masks; Mille Lacs is not. Other tribes around the country are also reopening their casinos.GILES: Casinos in different states are further along in the process, particularly Oklahoma. (:05)Jason Giles, Muscogee Creek, is Executive Director of the National Indian Gaming Association.  It's a non-profit advocacy organization for tribal gaming operations.GILES: To be honest it's not without its hiccups right off the bat.  There are reports of employees showing up a-symptomatic but they have the virus. There have been other reports of people showing up not wearing a mask. (:15)Giles says there are some tribes who say they will NOT reopen their casinos in the near future.  GILES: There's plenty of tribes in South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, New Mexico - some of the tribes that just don't have strong health care systems on the reservation and are a commute away from the nearest hospital, they are at particular risk if the virus starts to spread. They just can't afford to have it run through their populations. (:20)Here in Minnesota, tribal casino heads say they will pay close attention to what's happening and adjust as needed.For Minnesota Native News, I'm Melissa Townsend.HOST: And finally, The Leech Lake tribal newspaper, the Debahjimon [dih-BOJ-ih-mon] is reporting that the US Environmental Protection Agency has reached a decision on the Superfund site located within Leech Lake reservation boundaries. The agency has gone agains the wishes of the tribe and has decided to retain the contaminated soil on site rather than truck it off the reservation.This decision comes after decades of consultation over the St. Regis Superfund site where the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe voiced opposition to this very plan. The Band is exploring their options for further action.

Paulette Jordan is Couer d' Alene. She is currently a member of the Idaho State legislature, and she also sits on the board of the National Indian Gaming Association. Paulette also was previously a member of her (and my) tribal council. Paulette Jordan's family instilled leadership from an early age. But leadership for power was not the goal. Service was. Paulette demonstrates her commitment to service through the various positions she has held over the years. Paulette was both a self-described book worm and athlete growing up. She attended a college prep high school and then attended the University of Washington. There she used sports to connect with other students as she adjusted to life in the city after growing up on the reservation. After school, Paulette returned home and soon started to hear requests for her to serve and pursue elected positions in the community. She was elected to tribal council and in 2012 decided to run for the state legislature. Paulette was elected in 2014. Her presence in the legislature made an immediate impact in the state. She invited the tribes to attend an annual event at the capital. It was the first time that ever occurred. She hopes her role can strengthen relationships between the state and tribes. I really believe the trend of more Natives pursuing state office is one for the future. Relationships with states are tenuous. But more tribal people in elected office at the state level can help forge stronger working relationships. Paulette Jordan, like many NextGen Natives, discussed the role mentors have played in her life. Whether it is tribal elders and family members (Felix Aripa, Dave Matheson), previous member of the state legislature and fellow tribal member Jeanne Givens, or national leaders like Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Paulette is learning from the previous generation to further her service.    

Margo Gray announced her Campaign for the Office of the Principal Chief of the Osage Nation in December 2013.  A citizen of the Osage Nation, she is the President of Margo Gray and Associates.  Ms. Gray is the former Chairwoman for the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development, she currently serves on the National Board of Directors of Big Brothers and Sisters, is a board member of the American Indian Business Network, board member for the National Indian Gaming Association, co-chair for the Economic Development Sub-Committee for the National Congress of American Indians, Treasurer of the United Indian Nations of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, and active member of Women Empowering Women for Indian Nations, among her work with many other organizations. Ms. Gray believes people need a leader who not only will fight and stand strong for tribal sovereignty, but who will also be a champion of the Osage citizenry and a peacemaker - someone with energy, passion, and vision; someone unafraid to step up and speak out, but with diplomacy and respect for the views of others. She believes the Osage Nation must be a good employer, so employees are confident that hard work, integrity, and accountability will be rewarded.  Ms. Gray wants to strengthen her Nation’s relationships with key partners, foster the development and improvement of our economy and preserve the Osage way of life for all wherever they live. She is offering her forty years of professional experience in service to Indian Country, her commitment to principled leadership, and her deep belief in each Osage from the oldest to the youngest.  http://www.facebook.com/VoteMargoForOsageChief http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Margo-Gray/43236320
