Governing Body Meeting Set for May 21stThe new Chief has called a governing body meeting for this Saturday, May 21st to begin at noon. The meeting will be held in the council house (long house) on the tribal property at 630 County Rd 1281, Falkville Alabama. There will be a great deal of business to discuss so our leaders have asked that no children be brought to the meeting. Feel free to bring a bag lunch as the meeting will take some time. The leadership ask that all who are present follow the procedures of the meeting and all come in a good way. We are all gathering together to make the tribe the best it can be, not only for ourselves, but for the generations after us. We all need to come together to make this happen.
