What is happening in our Tribe?

Native Village of Barrow has not been really stable for a few years now after our long time Executive Director stepped down.

The tribe went through multiple Executive Directors since 2017; as well as Tribal Council members.   In less then a year, the council has had multiple council members step down or pushed out.

As a member of the NVB Tribe, the membership should ask for a special membership meeting before our tribe is in dire straits.

At this time, the Tribe does not have an Executive Director and I don’t think they are hiring one until the two council seats are filled.

I do know that you have to reside in Barrow to be on the council and the same requirement probably falls on the Executive Director position.   The Constitution and Bylaws of the Tribe also states that the President is the Executive Director unless…..

Tribal members, I urge you to read the Constitution and Bylaws of the NVB and make informed decisions on your tribe.   I also urge you to read your Tribal Codes and Ordinances.
