10.11.19 Napaimute Traditional Council Work Session at the Kuskokwim Corporation Conference Room in Anchorage. Notice the beautiful birch wood table with a map of the Middle Kuskokwim River running the length of it. The map of Our River contains actual soil, gravel, leaves and driftwood from the Kuskokwim.

President Hellings opens the 2019 NVN Annual Meeting. This was her last time addressing the membership as our President. She is retiring after nearly 20 years of service to the tribe, the community, and the region.

Russian Pie – always a favorite at the Annual Meeting – made by the St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Sisterhood

And of course akutaq is another favorite!

A lot of information on the Native Village of Napaimute’s 2018-19 programs and activities was made available to the attendees. This also included a lot of information on climate change and its impact on the region and the tribe’s activities.

Excerpt from the NVN Constitution and By Laws describing the process for filling Council vacancies:

Section 7. Vacancies:

In the event that any elective Tribal Council seat becomes vacant between elections, the Tribal Council President, after first determining if the person consents to serve, shall recommend a person who meets the requirements of a Candidate to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. Such person shall assume office upon approval of the appointment by a majority of the members of the Tribal Council.  If a majority of the members do not consent to the appointment, the Tribal Council may choose, by a majority vote, to either direct the President to select another candidate or approve a candidate nominated by a member.

If a Tribal Council member fails to attend three (3) consecutive regular meetings of the Tribal Council, without a written excuse accepted by a majority vote of the Tribal Council, that Tribal Council member’s seat will be declared vacant and the vacancy shall be filled in accordance with this section.
