Tribal Elder Nancy Renfrow receives a hug from Tribal Council Secretary
Jon A. George after he gifted her a beaded necklace during her
retirement party held in the Finance Department on Monday, March 26,
which was Renfrow’s last day. She worked as a Tribal staff accountant
for 13 years. She recently purchased a travel trailer and plans on
visiting all the National Parks accompanied by her two miniature
dachshunds. Along the way she hopes to hit the national rodeo circuit
and make it to Tribal Canoe Journey this summer being hosted by the
