🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟

I am thrilled to share that I have officially launched my campaign for the presidency of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). As Chairman and CEO of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, and a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, I am honored to embark on this incredible journey.

With over thirty years of experience in Tribal administration, economic development, community development, and elected leadership, I am committed to representing the needs and voices of all tribal nations. Together, we will prioritize supporting Tribal women and youth, protecting our sacred lands and waterways, and upholding the vital treaty rights that unite us.

The election will take place during NCAI's 80th Annual Convention and Marketplace in New Orleans, Louisiana, from November 12 - 17, 2023. This transition of leadership from the extraordinary President Fawn Sharp is a pivotal moment for NCAI, an organization that has served as the backbone of support for tribal governments and communities since its founding in 1944.

Beyond a campaign, this is a powerful movement that will unite tribal nations, secure a brighter future for generations, and drive the overall progress of indigenous communities nationwide. Together, we are building a force that transcends boundaries, embracing the rich diversity of our tribal nations and fostering unity. Through our collective efforts, we will create lasting change and leave a remarkable legacy for the generations yet to come.

Indian Country is in need of a visionary leader who can articulate the true needs of all tribal nations and can create the climate to take full advantage of the unprecedented opportunities available to our tribal communities now. I humbly ask for your support and encourage you to join me on this journey as we forge a path of progress, resilience, and collective empowerment. Together, we will create a new narrative—one that celebrates our heritage, strengthens our communities, and paves the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. Stay tuned for updates as we make history together! It’s our time to rise!
