  1. I was at the meeting on sat. They sure have changed, before chief and council would face the members and answer ? or at least jump in and talk about what was going on or how they feel. i see people dont sick around for the meeting. Maybe we should go back and do things the way they did before . Get rid of all the frills and talk to your people. 64% drop out in high school is not good . we look good on paper but thats not good. The meetings are like campaign meetings.

  2. I wasn't able to make it to the meeting, and I know we are not supposed to talk about what is said at the meetings, but with just a no or yes answer, was there anything new or interesting said?
