Dear Nespelem District Youth Forum

I want to thank our Nespelem District Youth who worked so hard to put together the Council Candidates Forum last night.They developed questions, reserved the conference room, and set it up with microphones and the ability to record and stream this event.This shows a real commitment toward learning about tribal leadership and the issues of our people.Several of them also dressed very professionally.This brings me great encouragement to work all the harder to ensure they inherit everything they deserve.They deserve to inherit our traditional foods, valuable natural resources, their language and culture and their homelands.This is their inherent right.
