Darrin Old Coyote: Letter to the People
Founder & Editor in Chief
Dear Tribal Politics Reader:
The Crow Tribe elections are just around the corner on June 20. If you can imagine, everyone with a stake in the election is closing ranks around their candidates. Meanwhile, one candidate, Darrin Old Coyote, is using the Internet to get out his campaign message to the Crow people. He recently wrote this letter to set the record straight about his intentions if elected as vice chairman of the tribe.
