Meet The Candidates

Nicole Beaulieu , age 22 ,Leech Lake Tribe member, Darrell Auginash age, elder, Red lake Tribe Member, Gregory Paquin, age 47, Red Lake Tribe Member.
We had a meeting yesterday at Darrells wonderful log Home and we talked for over 4 hours with other tribal members about many aspects of these candidacies and what it means to our Anishinaabe people and to me also in respect to being the Business Manager of this Union.
At this time we are just now starting to make the general public aware of the magnitude of this endeavor that we have taken upon ourselves and when i discuss these issues with many different races of Minnesotans , i can see that fear well up in their eyes that by speaking of these differences that have created the socio-economic terra firma we stand on today as Native People and those who have benefited from the denial of our civil right to promulgate ourselves and become inalienable any further , i can with a clear clean conscience say do not fear what is true and just and will bring to all our people as citizens of Minnesota a better economy ,a better job and a equality that this society deserves. I can attest as to the others kindness of heart and spirit and also to their resolve to bring justice to our people. I must say as a founder of this Union i am committed to helping our membership and am working as hard as i can so be patient and do not give up hope because that is all we have right now. Fraternally yours Brother and Sister
