Flying by 2020

Winter has gone by a lot faster than I would have anticipated. With the changing times of this pandemic, I’m shifting from working with my co-workers in one office to working safely from my own home. Schools are closed and we’re homeschooling with guidance from our teachers, who my daughters miss.

Waiting for the snow to melt is like watching paint dry, long and not so interesting. I look forward to spring birds returning. A few swans have been spotted down river. The snow is slowly melting away and giving way to the warming sunshine of spring. My crafts have been gathering dust lately because it’s been so beautiful outside. Working day by day reminds me of what one of our elders Dallia Andrew use to tell us, “slow by slow we will get there,” Slow by slow we will and shall get to where we need to be. I ask that you be patient with us as a Village Council because we are always evolving as this pandemic plays out. The following is what we have arranged:

  1. To minimize physical contact there has been a box set up at the post office for you to drop off your outgoing mail. Your incoming mail will be dropped off after it’s been sorted.
  2. UPS is now being picked up by our freight haulers, Jeff and Aiden, and dropped off at your door step.
  3. Trash is currently being picked up on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please toss your own trash into the back of the truck when it pulls up to your house. Elders, please leave your trash outside your door and our interns will pick it up for you.

If you have any questions, ideas, or concerns please feel free to email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Please read the travel restrictions and quarantine guidelines that we passed as a tribe.

Please remember to wash your hands, follow the CDC recommendations, State, and Tribal mandates. We are in this together and the only way we can slow the advance of this virus is to be mindful and respectful of those around us.
