Fish & Wildlife Committee
has e-mail address
In an effort to better serve the membership, the Tribe’s Fish & Wildlife
Committee created an e-mail address for those who hunt, fish and gather
on the Reservation.
The e-mail address is designed so that Tribal members can make the
committee aware of any concerns or questions, and to make positive com-
ments. The committee will do its best to provide answers and feedback so
that everyone who wishes to utilize the Reservation lands may do so legally.
