To: All Gitanmaax Band Members
From: Gitanmaax Chief and Council
Re: Anonymous letter mailed to Band Members
Gitanmaax Chief and Council are aware of an anonymous letter recently delivered to Gitanmaax members.
As elected representatives of the Gitanmaax Band, we expect and welcome fair questions, dialogue and debate on issues impacting members and the Gitanmaax community as a whole. The content of this recently circulated letter goes far beyond fair comment and respectful dialogue, and Gitanmaax Chief and Council condemn it as being destructive and damaging.
Our collective vision is for a healthy, sustainable, caring community that honours our grandparents, inspires our grandchildren and celebrates pride in who we are as a people.
We will continue in the remaining weeks of the present Gitanmaax Council term to act in ways that sustain and advance that collective vision rather than destroy it. It’s only through open, respectful dialogue that we can move forward in a good way together as a community.
