MHA Nation citizens group offers educational sessions on tribal citizen rights

September 25, 2025

The Red Owl Group, formed by several Three Affiliated Tribes citizens, is holding community meetings on the Fort Berthold Reservation for tribal citizens to learn about their rights under the tribe’s constitution. The group will also discuss its advocacy efforts, which include suing the MHA Nation Tribal Business Council. A first session was held Sept. 23 in Twin Buttes, North Dakota. Other sessions will take place on Sept. 25 at Water Chief Hall in Mandaree and Sept. 29 at Ralph Wells Junior Community Center in White Shield. Both are 5-7 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. The group is recording the sessions. For more information, please contact Terry Fredericks at 701-214-2979.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
