Governance in Action with Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate
April 16, 2015
In partnership with the Bush Foundation, NNI Executive Director Joan Timeche (Hopi) and NNI Senior Policy Associate Jonathan Taylor facilitated a one-day "house call" session for the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate (SWO) of the Lake Traverse Reservation in Agency Village, SD, on April 30, 2015. Eleven participants, including newly elected SWO council members and department staff, identified their nation-building priorities for strengthening the tribe's government, promoting its operational stability, and ultimately creating the legacy they wish to leave for their grandchildren.
