Tribal Business Committee Returns From Washington

The Sac and Fox Tribal Business Committee recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where they testified before a subcommittee of the Interior and Insular Affairs on the division of a tribal claim. The group received high compliments from their congressional delegation and other delegations as one of the best Indian presentations that had ever come before a subcommittee. The Business Committee is composed of Peggy Acoya, National Congress of American Indians secretary; Mary McCormick, Sac and Fox tribal secretary; Dora S. Ortega, councilwoman; Lee Bass Jr., second chief of the Sac and Fox tribe; Lloyd Tiger, councilman; Elmer Manatowa, chief of the tribe; George Pietsch, tribal claims attorney; and Dan Jennings, executive director of the tribe.
