Subject: Commitment of support to The Isle de Jean Charles Tribe’s whole community resettlement

 

Halito!,

 

We recently circulated a press release about our Isle de Jean Charles Tribe’s current situation regarding our resettlement process. For more information about our Tribe, our resettlement, and our efforts towards cultural and physical survival, please visit our website at www.isledejeancharles.com.

 

More than 130 individuals/organizations have already graciously signed on to our demand to the State of Louisiana to uphold our Tribe’s vision in the agreed upon and funded proposal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) National Disaster Resilience Competition.

 

We write to you now to ask specifically for your commitment of support in working towards our Tribe’s vision for cultural survival and resilience, and to maintain our sovereignty and Tribal rights.

 

To commit your support to our Tribe, and collaboratively work towards our resettlement as a whole Tribal community through a Tribal-driven process, please see the attached Letter of Commitment, and add your name/organization by clicking here.

 

Thank you for your support!

 

Sincerely,

 

Chief Albert White Buffalo Naquin
