Letter s Dear Smoke Signals: In the future I would really appreciate receiving any supplemental information about a vote the same time I receive the voting materials. I had already sent in my vote when I received the Tilixam Wawa. Since I live far away, I wanted to be sure to get my vote in the mail. I would have voted differently if I had the supplement. Thanks to the Tribe and good health to everyone.
