Dear Readers:
I'm posting this alphabetical and "unofficial list" of Candidates filed as of Aug. 10, 2010 for Three Affiliated Tribes 2010 Tribal Election. I wish all the candidates a good campaign. Time is running short with about five weeks leading to the election on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The chairman's position is open for a new leader as well as three districts on the reservation. It's an interesting time back at Fort Berthold with all the oil activity on the Bakken Formation. The community and entire reservation is changing with the influx of people from all over the country.
