Ogema Romanelli | August 28, 2026 Update

Aanii Tribal Members,
I want to give you some updates since my last message.

We continue in court over the 2026 budget and will probably continue for at least a couple more weeks, if not longer. We've begun the 2027 budget and it looks to have some substantial cuts across the board. The Cost of Living has affected everything and everyone. We are working hard to come up with the best plan to benefit our Tribe and its members.
