Community Vision & Plan for Our Future

Our future depends on us providing opportunities for our children right away. Take a moment to review my Vision for our Future and see if you agree that we need a change — starting on June 11.

Accomplishments

Projects need to reflect our priorities within the Reservation. These are some highlights of the projects that I was involved in and a list of priorities the Band should consider.

Priorities:

#1 Engage all members in a vision for the future.

#2 Establish a plan and timeline to address vacancies in critical positions.

#3 Provide a plan for services in Duluth and Minneapolis to assist members right away.

Advocated for inclusion of Fond du Lac businesses at events and expansion of resource development for band member-owned businesses.

In 2019-2021, the Band responded quickly and efficiently to COVID-19. As an RBC member, there were weekly reviews of COVID-19 mitigation plans and COVID-19 response across the Reservation.

Brought awareness to Drug Free Zones around the community centers and advocated for children and youth that use the community centers daily.

Increased public safety along Highway 210 by consulting with MnDOT about plans for changing the speed limit in Sawyer, installing crosswalks, and establishing streetlights.

Assisted with negotiations with the city of Duluth regarding Fond du Luth Casino.

After finishing of the CAIR building in Duluth, we need to continue with Phase II expansion; there has not been progress on this for two years.
