GROWING ENGAGEMENT SHAPES THE FUTURE OF MLB CONSTITUTION

Delegates encourage Band members to join the conversation and help shape the proposed updates

The MLB Delegates are pleased to share the strong interest generated from the two Constitutional Conventions held in September. As a result, one new group has formed, and another is looking to incorporate regular discussions around Constitution work. We are extremely encouraged by this growing engagement and the opportunity for more Band members to play an instrumental role in proposing changes to the MLB Constitution, originally created in 2010 by the prior Delegation.

The current Constitution is available in a read-only format for those who wish to review it and will be shared more broadly when the Delegation hosts the District Il and Urban Constitution meetings, as well as at the State of the Band.

Our contact email is mlbdelegates410b@gmail.com. Please feel free to reach out with questions, interest, or requests for engagement. For those who have already provided an email address, all upcoming information and updates will be shared through this communication channel.

So, what's next?

We hope that additional engaged Band members will step forward, allowing Delegates to join your meetings on a regular or as-requested basis. Together, we can review key issues and articles, begin drafting proposed language, and ensure all work is properly saved and archived. We do not want any voices lost during this process.

The Delegates remain committed to sharing relevant information, including updates from other MCT tribes when applicable, along with insights gained throughout this journey. Our goal is to ensure everyone is well-informed as we work toward a collaborative, favorable Constitution.

This process depends on participation. We need everyone empowered to move referendums forward.

In closing, this work is about us— together—as the Mille Lacs sovereign nation moving forward.

Your voice. Our sovereignty.
