Newsletter Sub Categories
For example, in Volume 2010/Issue 2, page 1, the article under this sub section discusses a “Citizen Agreement,” which was a consensus that they request an annual citizenship fee of at least $25 per household to allow basic Band operations to continue, including the Aln8bak Newsletter. This sub category also expresses the need for more citizen involvement in the Band, as well as the need for people to become leaders in the Band. It seems that in recent history, the Band has run into many difficulties creating a foundation to gain rights and recognition, revealing the need for more awareness and more of a following of and interest in the newsletter.[2]
