"I write this with a very heavy heart RE: Badger Wahwasuck and Mamie Rupnicki attending public hearing regarding Shobney land claim.
I am a very proud enrolled Prairie Band Potawatomi tribal member, considered a senior citizen. I am out-spoken at our quarterly tribal general council meetings and praise our Tribal Council members for their dedication and tireless efforts to move forward for our Nation.
As in any other political settings whether it be local, county, state or national levels, there will always be radicals and negative speaking people but the good always outweigh the bad.
Furthermore, we have more Prairie Band Potawatomi who are looking at this land claim as a plus and excited about the new investment. I am sure if we could, we would challenge this group NOT to represent us. And I hope the DeKalb community realizes that not all of us are at their mentality.
Mege wige! Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
Marilyn Hale-Wakolee"
