LAME DEER \u2013 On Monday, November 18, 2024 though the weather was slightly against the celebratory Victory Parade held at 9:00 a.m., the remainder of the 2024 Inaugural festivities to swear in the newly elected Tribal President, Vice President, Tribal Judges and half of the ten-member Tribal Council went according to plan at the Boy\u2019s and Girl\u2019s Club attended by numerous tribal members and guests.<\/p>\n

At Northern Cheyenne, tribal officials are elected to four-year terms, however the Tribal Council served staggered terms to provide some degree of continuity. The members seated this year included: Gene Small, President; Ernest Littlemouth Sr. Vice-President; Melissa Fisher, Ashland District; Howard Ontiveros; Muddy District; Stefan Raining Bird, Busby District; Theresa Small, Lame Deer District; Gwen Spotted Horse, Birney District and Judges, Curtis Elkshoulder Jr. and Justin David Roundstone.<\/p>\n

Master of Ceremonies was Robert Bailey, former Busby Tribal Council member. The program included a procession of newly elected and seated Tribal Council; Opening Prayer by Michael Bearcomesout Sr., Sacred Hat Keeper; Flag Song by Ghostbull drum group; Posting of Colors, Northern Cheyenne Veterans; Honoring of outgoing Tribal President and Council; a Public Address by newly elected State House member, Jade Sooktis; Swearing in Ceremony; Youth Council Swearing in; Honor song by Ghostbull drum group; addresses by Vice-President Littlemouth and new Council members; Guest speaker Harold Frazier, former Tribal leader from South Dakota; address by new President Gene Small.<\/p>\n

Due to the acoustics in the Boy\u2019s and Girl\u2019s Club gym, it was difficult to hear the speakers. However, several times, President Small\u2019s remarks were received with applause. Small re-visited the concerns shared during his campaign: the need to improve lawlessness on the Reservation and as it affects tribal members off the Reservation; improving infrastructure including water, sewer and roads; the need to become more independent from the Federal government; fiscal accountability and a personal promise to be available to tribal members.<\/p>\n

The event was followed by a meal and the first formal Tribal Council meeting for the new Administration.<\/p>\n
